Expected 4 Aug 26
Two years of "perfect" is starting to feel like a cage.
PATRICK
My life is a masterpiece of stability. Ever since that last promotion, I’ve officially mastered we have the airy loft, the Pinterest-worthy routine, and a relationship so smooth it’s basically on mute. It’s perfect. It’s domestic. And it’s making me want to claw my eyes out. I’m haunted by the ghost of who we used to be when we first met—back when we were all friction and heat and sharp edges. I love Ricardo, I really do, but I’m bored of playing it safe. I’m ready to let go and see where the ledge is, but the way I actually find my breaking point? Let’s just say I didn't see that one coming.
RICARDO
I thought we had finally made it. I traded the "ice-queen" glares from the gorgeous man behind the coffee bar for morning kisses and a life that doesn't feel like a constant battle. No more fighting, just peace. But Patrick is looking at me with that old, dangerous spark in his eyes again, and he’s asking for something I never thought he’d want. He wants me to take control. He wants to be pushed. And the terrifying part? I think I’ve been waiting for him to ask. But when the safeword finally comes out, I’m left staring at the man I love, trying to figure out the new map to his happiness.
Perfect for readers who
