Crave me instead.

|| BL & OMEGAVERSE - MATURE CONTENT ||

Ezra Starling has always known his place in a world ordered by secondary genders. As an omega, society expects him to settle, to accept whatever fate is handed to him. He has never been particularly good at that.

A gifted formulator at the Ashbourne cosmetics empire, Ezra once shared quiet laughter, and vanilla lattes with the man who now sits at the head of the company. Grayson Ashbourne was not always the distant CEO who speaks in schedules and smiles like business cards. There was a time when sticky notes covered in private jokes lived on his desk instead of in the trash.

When the distance between them became unbearable, Ezra tried to leave. His transfer was denied with a single, chilling word: indispensable. Kept in place by the very man who no longer looks at him the same way, Ezra draws the only line still available to him. He will stay. He will work. He will not beg.

In the glass towers of the Main Branch, power is measured in titles, lineage, and the quiet right to decide another person's future. Grayson holds all three. Yet every forced collaboration, every carefully professional meeting, threatens to reopen what both men have tried to seal away.

When ambition has already taken everything once, what remains for the heart that refuses to neither be claimed nor forgotten?
