The first photo arrives as an AirDrop from an unknown sender.
It’s him. Taken seconds ago. Close enough to capture the exact tilt of his head, the vulnerable line of his throat.
Don’t worry. I’m watching him for you.
Ethan has spent his entire college career being invisible. The quiet literature major no one notices, no one remembers. Until someone does.
Someone who knows the shade of his eyes when he’s lost in a book. Someone who has memorized every version of him — the frightened one, the lonely one, the one who writes at 3 a.m. about wanting to be claimed so completely that loneliness can’t touch him anymore.
Someone who calls him mine.
He should report it. Block the number. Run.
Instead, Ethan finds himself searching every room for a pair of calm gray eyes and a silver ring catching the light.
Vane doesn’t hide anymore. He doesn’t need to.
Because the scariest part isn’t being watched.
It’s how much Ethan wants to be found.
Watched is a dark MM romance featuring obsessive love, a morally grey stalker MMC, and a quiet bookish hero who stops running at exactly the wrong moment — or the right one.
