Forever

The rule is simple: Patrick leaves before seven. No lingering, no awkward mornings, and no pretending that what happens in Aiden's bed belongs anywhere else. Then 7:00 becomes 7:42, Patrick's hand is still resting on Aiden's chest, and the carefully negotiated distance between them begins to collapse. Thai food turns into waiting by the door. A teasing breach of contract becomes the terrifying possibility that neither man wants an exit clause.
Aiden has built his life around discipline and plans. Patrick keeps arriving late and making room for something softer. To move beyond borrowed nights, they will have to say what the rules were designed to hide. Forever is an intimate, high-heat MM romance about routines, vulnerability, and the moment a temporary arrangement quietly becomes home.
