An ulterior motive

Sage

Out of nervousness, I threw the wine back in my throat. It burned but it gave me a little bit of courage.

I wagged my finger at him as he poured me another glass,

“Don’t think I don’t know what you are doing,”

“And what am I doing, Sage?” He rumbled in that thick voice of his.

The list hit me out of nowhere and I struggled to clamp my legs together.

“Inviting me to your house and offering me wine knowing I am a lightweight, what do you hope to achieve?”

He shrugged, “I don’t know what you are talking about, Sage. I just want to catch up on my favorite student, is there something wrong about that?”

I scoffed, “so now I am your favorite student?” I gulped the content in the glass, “days ago, you were calling me a mere student.”

He chuckled and took another sip of his wine.

“You know the problem with you? You always overthink things. I thought we could be friends.”

For some reason, that word seemed to ignite something in front of me.

“You called me here to tell me that? You should

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Read it wrong

    I fucking read it wrong.I clutched the back of his head as I tasted myself, I didn't shy away from it. I opened my mouth for him to slip his tongue in, tasting my sperm well. He turned me so that my back was facing him. Yeah, let me quickly explain how this happened.I finished my food and waited, I don’t know why I was waiting. I should have grabbed my bag and left but I decided to stay.He grabbed both our dishes and went to the sink with them.“Okay, thank you for honoring my invitation.”“You didn’t give me a choice, did you?”“Yeah, you are right.” He chuckled, he dried the plates off and hung them. “I guess it’s time for you to go.”Somehow, those words saddened me. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed spending time with him till now. I didn’t want to leave.“Uh…yeah…sure. I better start going.”I took my time standing, and shuffled to the door.“Sage?” He called out,I turned swiftly, eager to hear what he had to say.He held my jacket in his hands, “you are forgetting your j

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Unexpected question

    SageMy mouth watered, he didn't look like he was done with me and frankly, I didn't want him to be.I missed him so much.I had no idea why I was torturing myself by staying away from him. Being with him was the best thing that has ever happened to my body.Look at the way it was singing praises just because it was close to the professor.I don't know what surprises me, the ease we both slipped into our role or the way I still wanted more. He carried me in his arms and leaned against the table, his cock slipped in easily, my legs were high up in the air and his hands supported me under my ass.“Professor," the moan slipped out as he thrust into me, deeply. My eyes rolled to the back of my head with just one movement.His lips came to my ear as he whispered, "Stroke your cock for me,"I gripped my cock with a trembling hand, my whole body shaking from intense pleasure. If I had known this was how I would feel, I would have begged him to take me sooner.I stroked my cock faster as he

    SageI stared at him, stunned.There was no way he had just said that.He lay there, his expression calm, too calm. It made my blood boil.What in the actual fuck?You know that second when everything was going well till someone drops a bomb and you are left wondering why there was even such a thing?I turned awkwardly toward him, placing a hand on his chest as if that would steady me. “What does that mean?” My voice came out hoarse, but I didn’t care.He scoffed. “You heard me.”My jaw clenched. “You think I’m sleeping with Kaiden? Where would you even get that?”He chuckled, a low, almost condescending sound. “It’s not about what I think, Sage. It’s about what I see.”My head started spinning.That’s what he’d been thinking this whole time?I couldn’t wrap my mind around it. He sat there, so damn composed, like he hadn’t just thrown a grenade into the conversation.He tilted his head. “If you’re not sleeping with him, then why are you spending so much time with him?”I clenched my f

    SageI was so fucking stupid.I wanted to hit myself on the head a billion times.But I didn’t.Instead, I walked up the stairs to my apartment, my entire body weighed down by exhaustion and regret.How could I have said that?How could I look him in the eye and say I hated him?I didn’t hate him. I never had.But my mouth always moved faster than my brain, and now I had fucked up.I should have just did what he said, stop being dramatic but I had to fuck it up. I had hurt him simply because I was hurt.I was offended by his assumption that Kaiden and I were sleeping together. He wasn’t far off but still, it rubbed me off the wrong way.I managed to shove my key into the lock and turn it, pushing the door open with a tired sigh. The second I stepped inside, I let myself collapse onto the couch, my arms falling limply at my sides.I placed a hand over my eyes and shut them tight. I deserve more than a hit in the head. Maybe a beating would better prove a point.The professor had kept h

    Sage I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Which meant I didn’t sleep well. As much as I tried to bury it deep in my head, it just kept surfacing. I tossed and turned all night, my mind replaying everything that had happened over and over again. The fight, the way I lashed out, the way I said something I didn’t mean, something I could never take back. The look on his face when I said it. I just hoped he would be able to forgive me. It was a damn carousel of regret spinning in my head, refusing to stop. By the time morning came, I felt like I hadn’t slept at all. Still, I forced myself out of bed, moving through the motions like I wasn’t falling apart inside. I dressed, grabbed my things, and left for school, convincing myself that today would be normal. That I’d focus, keep my head down, and act like everything was fine. If I see him, I would apologize from my heart and everything would go back to normal. I should have known better. The second I walked into my first c

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The coldest goodbye

    SageFor three days, he was nowhere.No calls. No texts. No class.Nothing.I was beginning to lose my mind so much that he was all I thought of whenever I closed my eyes.I asked myself if he was okay, if he needed someone by his side.I told myself I wouldn’t care. That I shouldn’t care. That I didn’t need to see him.But my body betrayed me the second I stepped onto campus that morning.It was the fourth day.And there he was.I saw him standing near the entrance of the lecture hall, talking to a student. He was laughing, his head tilted back slightly, his hands moving in animated gestures as if he had no worries in the world.Like he hadn’t just disappeared. Like he hadn’t ignored me for days.Like I didn’t exist.Did I mean so little to him that he would just ignore me comfortably? Erase me from every aspect of his life and just show up like nothing ever happened?I stood there, frozen, watching the easy way he clapped the guy on the back before turning to head toward his office.

    SageI stood there, my back pressed against the door, staring at the empty space where the professor had just been. His footsteps had barely faded when the weight of his words settled on me. "I could never be with anyone that hated me."My chest tightened. His words echoed like a broken record in my head. I couldn't move. My limbs felt heavy, like I was frozen in time. He was gone. I had been such a fool. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think straight, couldn’t... fix this. The door slammed behind him with such finality that it felt like it had shattered something inside me.It felt like the end.It wasn’t supposed to be like this. We were supposed to be more than this. I wanted us to be more. But I had pushed too hard. I was the one who fucked up.The professor was gone, and it felt like my world had come crashing down around me. I wanted to scream, to throw something, to break something. Instead, I stood there in silence, a sick feeling churning in my gut. How did I get here? How di

    SageI didn’t take Kaiden’s advice.Why the hell should I?He wasn’t an expert on relationships. Hell, he wasn’t even in one. It was easy for him to sit there and tell me to move on like this wasn’t eating me alive, like I could just flip a switch and suddenly not care. But I did care. Too much. And it was killing me.The professor had succeeded in erasing me from his life.Anytime I tried to speak to him, he walked away or ignored me like I was nothing more than a rash in his life.It hurt.I watched from a distance as he went about his day, speaking to everyone except me. I saw him laughing with students, exchanging easy words with colleagues, his life untouched by the wreckage he left me in. It was humiliating. It was painful.I couldn’t do it anymore.I couldn’t keep going to class and pretending like I was okay when I hadn’t slept properly in days. When every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was him walking away, slamming the door in my face like I was nothing. Like we were nothi

    SageHe was downtairs waiting for me when I finished packing. I took only the necessities and zipped up the bag.I hesitated at the bottom of the stairs, gripping my bag tightly. He leaned against his car, arms crossed, watching me with a bored expression. His patience was wearing thin, I could see it from the thin vein bulging on his forehead.“Get in the car,” he said in a firm voice.I knew arguing was pointless, but I still stood there, shifting on my feet. “Are you sure about this?”“No,” he replied dryly, opening the passenger door for me. “I could just leave you here, see how long you last before someone else decides to put you in the hospital.”I sighed, shoulders slumping. With one last glance at my apartment, I slid into the car. He shut the door and got in the driver’s seat, starting the engine without another word.The drive was silent. I kept my eyes on the road ahead, my thoughts racing. I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to deal with Kaiden. I didn’t want to need h

    SageI was in awe. I knew the professor wasn’t one to be messed with but seeing it first hand made me feel warm inside.He single handedly knocked them down like their were baby tree roots. I was damn scared for my life thinking I would end up in the hospital again.This time, the doctor would actually call the cops on whoever visits me. I was more than grateful that the professor didn’t leave.He snarled at the man, “don’t make me ask again, I have little or no patience for idiots like you.”“My name….my name is Micheal.”“Is that so?”“Is there a reason why you are an asshole, Micheal? I can’t imagine it’s everyday my students and I get assaulted by the same guy thrice. Is it a mere coincidence or do you have business with them?”The man in front of him, Micheal as apparently tried to hold his ground, but it was clear he was shaken. The professor didn't even have to say anything; he just stood there, staring Micheal down like he was nothing more than an insect beneath his shoe.He

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A handsome devil

    SageI wore my clothes and wrinkled my nose when the antiseptic smell still clung to my clothes as I walked out, my body sore from injuries that hadn’t fully healed. The dull ache in my ribs reminded me of the attack, the pounding of fists and boots, the weight of helplessness crushing down on me. The bruises would fade, but the bitterness in my chest would remain because it was now obvious to me that Kaiden was the reason I had been attacked twice now.He couldn’t even come to see me after they had called him. He is a very ruthless bastard and I hate him with every fiber of my being now.The professor was waiting for me outside, leaning against his car like he hadn’t just berated me in there. His arms were crossed, his expression unreadable, as always.The warmth I had glimpsed in there was long gone now.I stopped in front of him, adjusting the hospital bag slung over my shoulder. "Are we going to your place?"He barely spared me a glance before unlocking the car. "No. I’m taking y

    SageI woke up the next day having rested my body. The first person I saw was the kind doctor who had treated me the last time. “We have got to stop meeting like this,”I looked at him, he was young and extremely handsome, I smiled. “I am sorry, I can’t help it.”His face turned serious, “what happened this time, Sage?”I sighed, how would I even explain it so he would hear it? That I was a klutz or this was the second time someone intentionally put me in the hospital? I couldn’t say anything that wouldn’t put me in trouble. I had no idea what I was even dealing with.“You have to be more careful from now. The bruises you got this time were much worse. You cannot keep coming back here.”“I understand, doctor.” I said.There was nothing else to say but that. He must think that I am an idiot. Coming into the hospital like a bruised punching bag. I brought this upon myself.He was still crossing things off his record when the professor entered. He took one look at me and frowned.“What

    KaidenA dull, throbbing pain spread through my skull as I came to. My limbs felt like lead, my throat dry and sore. The air was thick with the scent of disinfectant, and the bed beneath me was softer than I expected.Where the hell was I?I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh light spilling in from a nearby window. The room was familiar, too familiar. Clean, precise, without a single thing out of place. My stomach twisted.The professor’s house.How did I even end up back here? I thought I made the big show of packing up and leaving?Memories crashed into me. The party. The drink. The dizziness. The attack. A hit to the back of my head.Fuck, I should call Martin and ask him what the party was all about. Did he even properly investigate before putting me there?Fuck!I shot up, a sharp pain lancing through my skull. My vision swam, and I groaned, pressing my fingers to my temples.The world was still spinning around in circles and I held my head to try and steady it. It f

    KaidenThe phone hung up and I stared at it in fury.“What the hell was that?” He asked.“It’s nothing,” I shrugged.“That didn’t sound like nothing. What was that?” He asked again through gritted teeth.“Okay, long story short. The people that attacked us earlier, they attacked Sage when he was in my house and he had to be rushed to the hospital. He is fine now and he went back home but he is back in the hospital. That was them over the phone.”I heard nothing, just the faint sound of movement. I expected him to make a huge deal of it but he said nothing so I looked up.The professor’s eyes burned with fury as he stood in front of me, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His usual calm, composed demeanor had shattered, and what remained was a man filled with contempt—for me.“What the fuck? Sage was attacked?”I nodded.“Take me to him.”I wanted to argue but something told me he wasn’t in the mood to play the checkers game with me. I could argue with him and end up with a bruised ch

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A message from Kaiden

    SageI had days to myself in my house, barely gotten used to the quiet of my apartment. I keep having nightmares about the same people coming for me in my own house. But when I remind myself that I have nothing to do with them and they didn’t know where I lived.So I attended school, avoided the professor with care by the way and went back home. The typical life of a loner which I was sometimes okay with.The other times, I cried when I remembered that I was all alone with nobody to talk to. It really was like he didn’t care about me.Yes, I was still thinking about the professor. I had hoped he would try to corner me again to talk to me. I would have given him a listening ear this time.I shook my head with a smile and just rested my head when the peace shattered.It started with a knock at the door, and I froze. A warning bell went off in my head, but I ignored it. I wasn’t expecting anyone, but after the week I’d had, I figured it was someone from school or even my dad checking i

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Letting it all go

    Sage For the first time in years, I felt like I was truly alone. Kaiden didn’t come. Not when I woke up in the hospital, not when I was struggling to sit up without wincing in pain, not even when the doctor signed my discharge papers. Three days had passed, and he hadn’t so much as texted. I tried calling him but he didn’t pick neither did he return my calls which seem to be a usual thing for him since he fucked up. I guess I got my answer. He was done with me. I should have expected it, but the finality of it still left a hollow ache in my chest. It is something I struggled to accept but I couldn’t. Whenever Kaiden and I fight, I always imagine that it wouldn’t last. We would get back to bickering after a day or two, latest three days. But this blowout made us grow further apart like we had been fighting for decades. I was dead to him. Instead of going back to his place, where everything reminded me of him, I went home. My real home. The apartment was too quiet

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   A lesson in maturity

    Kaiden Walking into my apartment felt like stepping into a crime scene. The door creaked open, revealing a space that had been utterly torn apart. My couch was flipped over, my shelves emptied, their contents shattered across the floor. The kitchen drawers were pulled out, their contents spilled as if someone had been searching for something specific. A muscle ticked in my jaw as I stepped inside, the crunch of broken glass beneath my boots making my stomach tighten. It was as if they were looking for something. I was ticked. I hated it when people went through my stuff like they had every right to. I hated it in every sense of the word. I have never acted rashly with anyone and I doubt it anyone was out for me seeing as I didn’t have the time to go around looking for trouble. I clenched my fists, my breath coming out in sharp exhales as I forced myself to calm down. Getting angry wouldn’t fix anything. I needed to clean up. I didn’t even know where to start. I left the hous
