The Terms of Us
Six weeks.
One contract.
No room for mistakes.
What starts as a calculated arrangement becomes something neither of them can control.
The Terms of Us
Declan Marsh does not make personal mistakes.
He builds systems. Controls outcomes. Anticipates risk before it becomes visible.
So when a media scandal threatens everything he’s built, he solves it the way he solves everything else:
With precision.
With strategy.
With a contract.
Finn Calloway wasn’t looking for this.
After losing the restaurant he built from nothing, he’s working jobs that pay the bills, not the life he wants. So when he’s offered six weeks as Declan Marsh’s boyfriend, the terms are simple:
Play the role.
Follow the rules.
Walk away when it’s over.
But the problem isn’t the contract.
It’s everything that happens inside it.
Because Finn doesn’t perform closeness.
He creates it.
And Declan has never been touched like something real.
Now the lines between strategy and instinct are slipping.
The rules aren’t holding.
And six weeks is no longer enough time to keep this contained.
