    Summary

    “I’m a professional.” Wriothesley assures him, rolling his shoulders just slightly as he sits up straighter, not quite posturing but certainly showing off what he can. Embarrassing, he scolds himself silently.

    He catches how Lyney’s brows raise, as if inviting - daring - the other to try and argue further. “So am I.”

    or, Wriothesley has a case to solve, Lyney has a family to protect, and opposites attract but only after they collide.

    Summary

    The IPC can take everything from Aventurine, but they can't take his life—not if he takes it first.

    Thankfully, Veritas Ratio is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    They kissed maybe the third or fourth time they met. Slept together the time after that. That was the first time. The second came soon after that, then the third, fourth, fifth.

    Their formula was quick and rough. They weren’t kind to each other. They weren’t gentle. Aventurine liked it that way. He was content with it, he was, but now Ratio is soft with him, and Aventurine likes that so much more. It’s terrifying.

    Ratio is in love. Aventurine is so, so scared of that.

    Summary

    Veritas hadn't even tried to stop Aventurine from pulling him in by the chain at his chest and kissing him hard and biting. That had been his first lapse in judgment. The second came soon after, then the third, fourth, fifth.

    Sex creates idiots. Veritas knows this well. He wishes he knew how to stop himself. He doesn't want to stop at all. Aventurine is far too good at pushing his buttons. Making him stupid. Making him care. They meet again in less than a week.

    Aventurine reacts strangely to gentleness. Veritas cares entirely too much.

    Summary

    Aventurine always hired random escorts to accompany him through his heats. A different one every time, all to prevent anyone from getting too close. This had worked fine for him since he became an official within the IPC, and the revolving door of strangers kept everything nice and impersonal. Distant. Safe.

    However, after one of his escorts had attacked him and left him on death's door, the IPC execs decide that Aventurine is too valuable of an asset to leave in the hands of random alphas-for-hire. So, now he's to be assigned one, whether he likes it or not. Because his life is one grand, cosmic joke, his assigned 'caretaker' is none other than Veritas Ratio, a man whom he knows all-too-well.

    It's fine. All he has to do is endure, and hope none of the cracks in his carefully-managed persona begin to show when under the scrutiny of a man who is entirely too damn perceptive for his own good.
