Between Masks (BL)
Noah Wellin and Atlas Sterlins.
Same elite schools. Same cold, polished circles. Same tension that never truly died.
They never crossed the line… until the world forced them back into each other’s orbit.
Noah spent his life doing everything right—quiet, obedient, controlled to the point of suffocation.
Atlas was raised to lead—confident, dominant, untouchable, taught that emotion is a weakness.
Both are sons of powerful old-money families in New York, where reputation is survival and honesty is a liability.
Now their families’ companies are tied together on a high-stakes project.
Meetings. Late nights. Business trips.
A pressure cooker. A trap.
Forced proximity that reignites everything they buried.
The attraction rises—sharp, dangerous, unavoidable.
This is not a gentle love story.
This is obsession—emotional hunger, jealousy, longing, and two men orbiting each other like gravity, unable to break away.

the beginning of everything he was too afraid to want.
