Greyson Football is my escape. My future. My chance to finally break free from my father’s grip. But living with Malik changes everything. We’ve always been close. Too close. Sharing beds after long nights, clinging to each other when life hit hard, acting like we were something more without ever naming it. Something in me cracks open. I’m not supposed to want him. Not when my father is arranging my life, my future, and my girlfriend. But every night in that house pushes me closer to Malik, and every touch makes it harder to lie to both of us. I’m falling for my best friend, and I don’t know how to stop.
