The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 10: Deeper wounds
Chapter 10: Deeper wounds Kai’s P.O.V Author’s Note: Proceed with caution; this chapter might have a few trigger warnings. I closed the door the our dorm, locking it shut before making my way over to the fridge and getting out two ice packs. “Hmm.” Walking over to Night’s bed, I handed him one of the packs before taking a seat next to him and placing the ice to my cheek, wincing a bit when the sting came from out of nowhere. It hadn't hurt when I had gotten that punch, probably because I had been too preoccupied with punching the life out of that fucker. “Good thing Landon got Devon to help us in time.” I sighed, trying to break the ice between us. Night had been unusually quiet since the whole incident. Landon and Devon had taken the other kid home first, who…as we had found out later, wasn’t even out of high school yet. But we were glad that he and his friend were both safe, at least for now. As for what will happen in the future…we had no clue. Hopefully the kids got their le
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 11: Crossing the Lines
Chapter 11: Crossing the Lines Kai’s P.O.V His lips were soft…softer than I had anticipated a man’s lips to be. My first experience in kissing a man…why I was doing this…I didn’t know… I was trying to comfort him the first time…right? To let him know that I understood the shit he’d been through and that I didn’t judge him for who he was or what he’d been through. I shouldn’t be bothered by the kiss, right? I was straight…I didn’t…I shouldn’t be affected by the softness of his lips…or the taste of alcohol that still clung to it…but then…why was my heart hammering against my ribcage like a drum? Why did I find myself pressing my hands to his cheeks to pull his face closer? There was a second’s interval as Night moved his lips away from mine to kiss my cheek tenderly, before kissing his way down my neck in a soft, slow motion, leaving a trail of tiny kisses down the line of my jaw. “Kai…” his voice was a breathless purr against my neck as he clamped his lips on to the side of the
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 12: Bickering Like Kids
Chapter 12: Bickering Like Kids Kai’s P.O.V I ducked behind the sofa, looking left and right to see if the coast was clear before aiming for my next target. The table towards the center of the room was a bit too low, so if someone came down the staircase…shit! If someone came down the staircase, they’d be able to see me anyway. The sofas were all white and I was wearing a bright red shirt! ‘Think Kai, think!’ I told myself as I looked around once again before turning back to look at the engraved wooden door that I had just come in through. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea? Oh, what was I thinking? ‘Maybe’? It was a fucking horrible idea to be sneaking around at 1 AM like a bloody thief in my own bloody house! However…the last thing I wanted was for either my mom or my dad to find me. As if having a bruised cheek and forehead wasn’t enough, but if either of my parents saw my like this right now and figured out that I had been in a fight…I’m sure I’d be leaving with more bruises
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 13: We Kissed
Chapter 13: We Kissed Kai’s P.O.V “You know you’re acting awfully suspicious, right?” Cole gave me a narrowed eyed look from over his coffee cup. “What happened to the bad boy of H University? The guy who dated left, right and centre without so much as caring if he was dating two women at the same time?” “And what’s so suspicious about taking a break?” I scoffed, turning away from him to look outside at the college grounds. “We got two more years to figure our shit out before we need to start making a living. The real world isn’t all fun and games or keeping tabs on how many notches we have on our bedpost.” “Ouch! What a low blow.” Cole rubbed a hand over his chest dramatically, making me roll my eyes. “Did your father give you a warning or something?” “My sister just became a resident at Alberta Medicave,” I told him grumpily. “The whole family will be holding a huge feast this weekend, to celebrate her finally getting her dream job. While I’ll be reminded, once again, of just wh
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 14: Understanding
Chapter 14: UnderstandingNight’s P.O.VI paced around the floor with my hands in my pocket, anxiety making me sweat even though the weather today was nice enough.Why was I being anxious? Why was I waiting around for Kai to show up like a lost dog waiting for its owner? I didn’t understand any of this myself either.However, when I saw Cole, the blonde haired man who was one of Kai’s best friends, come in through the front doors of the dorm, I was immediately up from the waiting area and rushing to stop him before he headed to the elevators.“Hold that!” I called out just as Cole entered the elevator and he pressed the button to hold it until I was inside the doors. “Thanks!”Cole gave me a once-over, his eyes narrowing in on my face as I swallowed nervously. “Waiting for Kai?”“How did you know?” Shit! I wasn’t supposed to give myself away like this!“Kai has been bugging me since this morning.” Cole shrugged. “He went home for the weekend all of a sudden and then he showed up at my
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 15: Just Friends
Chapter 15: Just Friends Night’s P.O.V I hadn't expected Kai to return to the dorm-room at all. I hadn't expected him to come back that night. In fact, I wouldn’t even be surprised if he decided to move out or even asked me to move out the dorm permanently. That’s why when I heard the door unlocking around ten at night, I sat up in bed eagerly, waiting for Kai to come in. The relief I felt upon seeing his face after almost three days was not something I had expected. He stopped mid-way, frowning as he looked at me. “Why are you in my bed?” “I thought you weren’t coming back tonight.” “Why? You thought I’d run off to sleep with a girl just to forget about everything?” I swallowed past the lump in my throat. “Well…that’s what usually happens when people can’t come to terms with a mis-” “Yeah, well, I’m taking a break for hoeing around so...” He dropped his bag at the foot of the bed. “Maybe go back to your own bed then? I’m feeling tired.” I got up from his bed slowly, not enti
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 16: Experiments
Chapter 16: Experiments Kai’s P.O.V “Devon…do you have a minute?” I asked my friend who was just coming out of the boxing ring after demolishing a punching bag twice his weight. “Yeah, sure!” He wrapped a towel around his neck before taking off his boxing gloves and pointing towards the locker room. “Just gimme five? I’ll go take a quick shower.” “Sure. I’ll wait here.” I moved to the opposite side of the boxing club room from where some of the members were still practicing their moves. The female boxing group had a separate room right next to the guy’s club, and from what I had heard…Night’s group sometimes came to hang around the area since their friend’s girl had recently joined their club. That’s why I was thankful for the separate rooms…so I didn’t have to run into him today. As promised, Devon came out of the locker exactly five minutes later, wearing a white hoodie with two red stripes down the middle and red track pants. His short black hair was still wet from his shower
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 17: Avoiding
Chapter 17: Avoiding Night’s P.O.V “We need to finish up on the project together this time.” I reminded my two best friends as we sat on the front stairs of our faculty, discussing who was taking responsibility for which part of the project. “This isn’t like high school, so don’t even dare expect one of us to complete the job alone and then take credit for the rest!” Trey immediately put his hands up in surrender, giving us a sheepish smile as he nodded in agreement. “I promise to do the best I can.” That was more than what I had expected from him, however, when I turned to face Landon…it was to find him spacing out once again, just like he had been this entire week. “Landon? Landon!” I snapped at him, startling him into snapping out of his trance. “Huh?” He looked around at me and Trey like he was seeing us for the first time. “What did you just say?” “Damnit, Landon!” Trey snapped in impatience. “You want us to go over the whole thing once again? What the hell is wrong with y

Chapter 115: A Glimpse into the FutureKai’s P.O.V“You went to play gold with Mr. Williams?” Night folded his arms across his chest, his frown deepening with every passing second. “The School principal?”“Come on, babe, it was just a stupid game!” I sighed, rubbing at my temples. “I didn’t even score and stood off to the side listening to him talk about charity and stuff!”“You know what he’s like, Kai! How could you?” He snapped, his temper flaring.And to add insult to injury, Kelly rounded the corner at that moment, her backpack slung over her shoulders as she picked up an apple from the fruit basket on the table. “Also…word has it that he targets hot DILF’s, especially married ones.” She added with a smug smile.“Kelly! What the hell!” I snapped at my seventeen year old daughter, who simply shrugged and stood to the side, munching on her apple. “You’re just making this worse!”“I’m just saying what the mom’s are saying.” She shrugged again.“And how, pray tell, do you know what a
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 114: Always
Chapter 114: AlwaysKai’s P.O.VSix years later…The beach stretched out before us in endless waves of sapphire and teal, the soft rush of the tide a soothing soundtrack to the most important day of our lives.We had chosen Night’s father’s beach house in Florida as the venue—an idyllic spot with sprawling, sun-kissed sand and a gentle breeze that carried the salt of the sea.A pathway of white rose petals led from the entrance of the beach house to the altar, which was an artful arch made of intertwined driftwood, adorned with clusters of white lilies and ivy.Delicate strings of fairy lights were wrapped around nearby palm trees, and lanterns hung at varying heights, swaying gently with the breeze as they caught the late afternoon sunlight, creating a warm golden glow.A canopy of sheer white fabric fluttered above rows of white wooden chairs, draped with ribbons of blue and green that mirrored the colors of the ocean.Guests filled the seats, familiar faces and old friends from col
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 113: A Post-Engagement Treat
Chapter 113: A Post-Engagement Treat Kai’s P.O.VThe last of our friends were starting to head out, their faces lit up with tired but content smiles, like they’d just had a blast. It had been a good celebration, and I could tell they were happy for us.First, Cole stepped up, his tall frame looming in the doorway as he flashed us his usual wide grin. "You two really knocked it out of the park with this place," he said, throwing an arm around Night’s shoulder and giving him a playful nudge. "I’m glad you guys are starting fresh. Don’t mess it up, alright?"Night rolled his eyes, but the smile on his face said he wasn’t actually annoyed. "We’ll try not to, Cole.""Good. Well, I’ll leave you to it. Don’t go getting into too much trouble now." He gave us a mock salute before stepping out the door, waving as he disappeared into the hallway. Landon, with his usual goofy grin, was holding Devon’s hand like he couldn’t quite bring himself to let go. "This night was awesome, guys," he said,
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 112: This Is Home
Chapter 112: This Is HomeKai’s P.O.VA few days later, we drove to the condo unit that Jonathan had previously bought for Night to live in, so he could live off-campus and stop sharing a room with me. The same condo that I had visited several months ago, when I had still been fighting with myself over where my heart truly belonged.But now… now we were here together with his parents’ blessing, and we were here not because of Night’s obligation to this family and their business, but because we were free to use this as we wished.And we wanted to.The condo that my sister had helped me get previously may have been cheap, but it was tiny and not enough room to have sleepovers and host our friends. But this one was definitely bigger and brighter. Perfect for me and Night.Tonight the condo was filled with the kind of warmth and noise that made the walls feel more alive than mere brick and plaster. Laughter bounced from one corner to another as our friends, our found family, filled the sp
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 111: Just Me and Him
Chapter 111: Just Me and HimKai’s P.O.VHow foolish had I been? The whole time, I was thinking that the only lives that would be affected by the revelation would be mine and Night’s.I didn't stop to think about the consequences it would have on their family. I had been so… selfish.I didn't even consider that Night might end up feeling horrible because of the things that I had brought to light.What if things turned out badly? What if Night ended up hating me? I couldn't help the wave of relief that washed over me as I watched their family embrace each other. Thank God it didn't turn out that way.I may have acted rashly and opened wounds that I shouldn't have opened, but at least, in the end, it all worked out to be in their favor.I guess it was mostly thanks to Jonathan finally having his senses return. If he had been too stubborn to see his faults, we probably would be having a very different scenario now.Still, I felt horrible for my own actions. I felt like a child who could
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 110: Once A House, Now A Home
Chapter 110: Once A House, Now A HomeNight’s P.O.VWhen I turned to look at my mother, I had this undeniable feeling that our family was going to crumble. There was no other way to go about it—what was the right way of proceeding with your life when you suddenly find out that the man of your family turned out to have never loved you at all? That instead he had someone else occupying his heart, whether he admitted it or not?Thinking about it that way made me realize something else as well, the other side as to why my father had kept the truth. Just like Rosalie had said during her earlier fit, why would any woman want to waste her life being married to a gay man who could never love her the way she wants to be loved and never need her physically in the way that she wants to be needed?My father hadn't held back on the truth not only because of his troubled past, but because he was holding this family together…because he didn’t want me to grow up with only one parent, facing prejudice
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 109: A New Perspective
Chapter 109: A New PerspectiveNight’s P.O.VI stared at him, letting myself absorb what he had just said. Part of me felt sorry for him; the incident with Matthias must have changed him so much that he turned his worldview around in a complete 180.But the other half was angry at myself for feeling pity for him. Angry at him, because I had deserved better than how he had treated me.“You of all people should know better than anyone that being gay isn’t some kind of disease,” I spat, “or a hobby that you can expect me to give up and move on when it’s no longer of any interest to me. You got angry at Kai when he told you that you never truly loved anyone in your life. How would you feel if I said the same thing and told you that what you and Matthias had wasn’t real? That it wasn’t valid because he wasn’t a woman?”He didn’t say anything, but from the way he looked at me I knew he was listening intently to what I was saying. Finally—when was the last time he did so? I couldn’t recall.
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 108: Stray from the Path
Chapter 108: Stray from the PathNight’s P.O.VI felt my eyes go wide, the room spinning out of focus around me as my father’s words echoed in the back of my mind.My breath caught in his throat, rendering me mute. I didn’t know what to think, what to say. To be honest, I felt quite numb, as though the floor has fallen out from beneath me and I was in a free fall, not knowing when I was going to land or if I was even going to land at all.The sharp thud of my mother dropping to the floor beside my father jolted me back to the room; her face was pale, eyes wide and vacant, mirroring the confusion I felt.The name—Matthias—was stuck on repeat in my head like a broken tape recorder. ‘Matthias, Matthias. Your father is just like you…’Just like me.The man who had always stood tall and indomitable now sat crumpled, broken by memories that seem more powerful than anything I could have imagined. I just couldn’t fathom, couldn’t grasp the fact that what he had just said was actually the trut
The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret Chapter 107: Just Like You
Chapter 107: Just Like YouKai’s P.O.VTaking advantage of the stunned expression on his face, I pushed him back as I released his hand, watching him stumble backwards.“And for the record,” I continued when I realized that Jonathan was too stunned to speak, “I’ll have you know that I haven’t ruined anything. This was bound to happen eventually, because you are a hypocrite for not only forgetting Matthias but also for turning against your own heart.”The words just gushed out of my mouth, faster than I could think things through. I didn’t stop to wonder whether I was saying the right things. Maybe I wasn’t. But it didn’t matter to me, because right now, all that I wanted to do was hurt him, just as badly as he had hurt Night.“Maybe you moved on so quickly because you are a selfish bastard who has never truly loved anyone in your life,” I spat, my temper getting the best of me.“That’s enough,” Night’s mother started to say, but I drowned her out, my words spilling out in an angry rus
