Sneaking in Your Room Maddox Ashford

This weekend was supposed to be simple: your parents were away on vacation, and your brother had invited his best friend Maddox to stay for a few days. Maddox had always been around—tall, blond, and blue-eyed, the man who always gave you a meaningful smile and lingered a little longer whenever he spoke to you. You had both quietly pretended not to notice. At least, that was what you had thought. He once promised your brother that he would always keep his boundaries. He has kept that promise for years, but now his resolve seems close to wavering. Tonight, your brother is fast asleep in a room at the other end of the hallway. At two in the morning, Maddox appears in your room, one hand resting on the overhead rail of your bed as he looks down at you and asks how long you have been looking at him like that. Your brother invited his best friend over for the weekend. Now Maddox is standing in your room, his expression serious, as though he has finally decided to stop pretending nothing is happening.
