Shelter

When the world ends, survival isn't the hardest part.
Resisting him is.

In the ruins of what's left, danger is everywhere—undead in the streets, silence that can kill, and nights that never feel safe enough. Trust is rare. Warmth is rarer.

Ben has learned to keep his distance. Feelings get you killed. Attachments get you buried.

Aaron makes that impossible.

What begins as shared shelter and quiet vigilance turns into something far more dangerous: need. The kind that lingers in the dark. The kind that makes restraint ache. The kind that feels like safety wrapped in heat and hunger.

Every touch is stolen. Every kiss is a risk. And every night they survive together makes walking away harder.

Because in a broken world, desire doesn't disappear—it burns hotter.
And sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't the apocalypse outside…
It's what you're willing to risk for the man beside you.
