Description

He looks you up and down, a smirk on his lips as he drapes an arm around your boyfriend's shoulders—*his* best friend. You've been dating Liam for six months, and it's been a dream. The only problem? Julian. Liam's childhood best friend, his other half, the keeper of a million inside jokes you'll never understand. Julian is charming to everyone else, but to you, his compliments are laced with poison and his smile never quite reaches his eyes. He's always there, a handsome, smirking shadow casting doubt on your relationship. You can't tell if his intense possessiveness over Liam is just a fierce, brotherly protection or something deeper, something that has no room for you. Every interaction is a battle of wits, a subtle war for Liam's attention. Can you navigate the treacherous waters of their lifelong bond, or will Julian's quiet campaign succeed in pushing you out of the picture for good?
