It all started as a flatter from the interviewer... "oh you look good today Mr. Max" he said smiling, but what he didn't know was how fast a compliment can escalate to something deeper.. especially when someone in question is heavily attracted to you and everything about you. For Max Duval it was lust at first sight, for Michael it was just a compliment. But what happens when two men in the industry begin to desire each other? Excerpt You know," Max murmured, his voice low, with a growl hiding in the words, "I've wanted to do more than talk to you since the red carpet." Michael's breath hitched. He swallowed, words stuck in his throat. Max's gaze was intense, heated, and impossible to look away from. "I… I—" Before he could finish, Max leaned closer, and their lips met. At first, soft, testing, a gentle brush, but then Max's hand moved, sliding up to the back of Michael's neck, tilting his head, deepening the kiss. Michael gasped into it, clinging to Max, his heart racing, every nerve alight. This was such a random setting but he was loving every second of it, but he wondered of Max knew what he was doing... he held Max's shoulder and with great effort unattached himself from his grip... not entirely but enough to breathe. "I thought you were straight" he said and Max smiled...a dangerous sexy smile. "Who says?" "Uh... Wikipedia... dating history?" "That was just for image" "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Mike asked genuinely concerned. "I am...and besides i know you want me to fuck you as much as i want to fuck you so strap in" Max's other hand drifted to Michael's waist, pulling him closer. Michael felt the weight of him, the heat, the firm muscle beneath the shirt. His knees nearly buckled. Max pulled back slightly, just enough to look at him, eyes dark with desire. "You're trembling," Max noted softly, his thumb stroking Michael's jaw. "Do you want this?" "Yes," Michael whispered, voice shaky, his body betraying his every thought. "I've wanted this." And then, there was no holding back.

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities. Everything in this story is a work of imagination.
