deepest desire

Noah Reyes knows everything about Eli Torres.
The way he leaves home every morning. The songs he hums when he thinks nobody is listening. The tiny habits nobody else notices.
Because Noah has been watching him for months.
From a distance, from crowded streets, from behind café windows - always unseen.
But when Eli's best friend, Kai Mendoza, catches Noah stalking him one night, Noah's secret life begins to unravel. Instead of exposing him, Kai offers a deal:
Do whatever he says... or Eli finds out everything.
What starts as blackmail slowly turns into something far more complicated as Noah becomes trapped between obsession, humiliation, and feelings he can no longer hide. But when the truth finally comes out, rejection may be the least painful part of it all.
Because some people hide secrets.
And others hide the reason they were watching in the first place.
