Heated Rivalry|| MxM

"You know," Eli whispered, "we've been circling each other for years. This rivalry? It's foreplay with stock options."

"That's the most arrogant thing you've ever said."

"Is it?" Eli's hand brushed Rowan's arm - casual, calculated. "Because you haven't taken a step back."

Rowan's breath caught. His pulse was roaring in his ears.

Eli leaned in, just enough for his breath to ghost along Rowan's jaw. "Tell me to stop," he said, voice dark velvet.

Rowan didn't.

Instead, he grabbed Eli's tie and pulled him in like a storm breaking over the city skyline - months of tension snapping between their mouths like lightning. Teeth, heat, hands at hips - it was rough, desperate, and god, it was inevitable.

When they finally broke apart, Eli's smirk was flushed and breathless. "Still hate me?"

Rowan's voice was low, ragged. "More than ever."

Eli grinned. "Good. Then get in bed. Let's make it convincing."

That is until his old high school enemy came along with Seven Corp and demanded to split Thorne Corp 50/50. Unfortunately, they have to get along after Rowan's father agreed to the split. Rowan and Eli were fine with hating each other off camera, but some random person revealed that they actually hate each other, stirring loss for both sides. Now they have to prove that they "like" each other by going on a vacation together. But what happens when they finally reach their destination and when they see their hotel, there's only...one bed?
