The human body is a ledger. And mine is in the red.
Jax I’m the golden boy. The star swimmer. The guy everyone wants to be. I’m also fifty thousand dollars in debt to men who don’t send late notices—they send enforcers. I was out of options, out of time, and drowning fast. Then my roommate stepped in. Leo Corver. The quiet computer science major I’ve barely spoken two words to all year. He didn’t just offer to help. He offered to pay it all. But Leo doesn’t believe in charity. He believes in transactions. The price? Me. Six months. My body. His control. I thought I was signing a deal with the devil. I didn't expect the devil to be the only one who truly sees me.
Leo I’ve been watching Jaxon Thorne for months. I know his schedule. I know his swim times. I know he’s straight, reckless, and desperate. He thinks I’m saving him. He’s wrong. I’m acquiring an asset. I have a plan for him. A schedule. A cage. I’m going to break him down and rebuild him into something perfect. But I forgot the first rule of systems the observer affects the observed. I planned for his resistance. I planned for his anger. I didn't plan for his surrender to feel like a homecoming.
OWNERSHIP is a dark, high-heat MM romance involving financial coercion, size difference, chastity, and a "straight" jock who realizes he was never really straight at all. HEA guaranteed.
