Awkward

Sage

Kaiden and I sat in silence at first.

Neither of us wanted to acknowledge the awkwardness of the situation, but it was impossible to ignore.

I had no idea why the professor would leave us here knowing that we would be at each other’s throat before the night ends.

I wonder if he had that much faith in me or he just didn’t care what we do. I was still pissed off that Kaiden was here. How was I supposed to stay with someone that openly said he hated me?

Should I smile or just pretend like we don’t have so much history. I mean after what the professor said, was it even possible that I had feelings for my best friend.

I looked at him to find him pointedly looking at everywhere else apart from me. I forced my gaze back to the television.

I reached for the remote and he swatted my hand,

I rubbed it, “what the hell?”

“I am watching it.”

I wanted to argue that he wasn’t even paying attention but I didn’t want trouble. Maybe that’s why the professor trusted me to keep Kaiden in check.

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Out of place

    KaidenI was being ridiculous.I knew it. I knew it.Everybody knew it.And yet, I couldn’t stop the irritation clawing at my chest, couldn’t silence the voice in my head that kept circling back to the same damn thought.Why the hell do I care so much?I repeated the same thing over and over again, like some kind of twisted mantra hoping it would curb all the thoughts.I didn’t care about the professor. Not like that.Sage was the one I liked. Sage was the one who got under my skin in ways no one else did, the one who made my blood run hot with nothing more than a sharp remark or a cocky smirk.The professor?I just wanted to fuck him.That was it. That was all.So why the hell was I sitting here, stewing in my own irritation. I tried to tell myself that it was just anger from him bringing Sage here when he knew what I was trying to do.Woo him enough to get into his bed again.Sage ignored me after I snapped at him, he told me to my face to quit whining and acting so pathetic.

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The wrong kind of obsession

    SageAfter Kaiden left, I expected some kind of reaction from the professor. Maybe a sigh, maybe a muttered complaint under his breath about Kaiden being too dramatic. Instead, he just stared at the door for a few seconds, his expression unreadable, before turning back to me with a look that made my stomach drop.His eyes were cold. Detached.Just like I expected him to be earlier. I was truly surprised when he entertained me for as long as he did.He moved away from me, putting distance between us like I was something he needed to avoid."Your sulking doesn’t concern me, Sage," he said curtly. "Neither does Kaiden’s tantrum."I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. "I wasn’t sulking," I lied.He didn’t even acknowledge my response. He turned on his heel, walking toward the staircase, but just before he disappeared from view, he cast one final glance toward the door where Kaiden had left.My fingers curled into fists.That single look, barely a second, barely anything at all was e

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Waiting for a sign

    KaidenI mindlessly scrolled through old messages while waiting for his texts.He didn’t text back after I sent him the location and that made me a little sad because I was expecting him to barrel in here.I had left his house without a word, without a backward glance, hoping no, expecting that he would come after me. That he would notice my absence, realize something was missing, and care enough to follow.But the phone remained silent.I sighed, running a hand down my face. Maybe it was childish, maybe it was dramatic, but I didn’t care. Sage was always there, always pushing his way into spaces that didn’t belong to him, always acting like he had some special claim. And the professor let him. He entertained his whining, let him get away with things I never could.Something he could never do with me. I have to be nagging if I want him to spend time with me. I didn’t want it to resort to this but it looks like I have no choice.I needed to remind him, remind myself that I wasn’t just

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The perfect betrayal

    SageI knew I had to be careful because when I saw him standing in the doorway of my apartment, leaning against the frame with that same smug confidence, I felt an odd mixture of excitement and apprehension.His piercing gaze swept over me before he stepped inside without waiting for an invitation.I shut the door behind him, folding my arms. “I don’t want to chat with you.”“Why is that?”I gaped at him like he was crazy, maybe he was.“Are you really asking me that? You sent your men to attack me. I was sent to the hospital twice on your account. What the hell is wrong with you?”“It’s not personal. You are just collateral damage.”“You are crazy for saying that. Get the hell out of my house. I do not want to chat with a psycho like you.”“You have no choice because I am in your house, Sage. Didn’t your mother teach you not to open the door for strangers? I could kill you and nobody would do anything. Kaiden doesn’t even care about you.”The last part stung, I admit. I subtly looke

    SageHe and I sat across from each other at the dining table, a meal between us that neither of us seemed particularly eager to finish.I forced myself to eat, but my appetite had dwindled the moment I noticed the way he kept glancing at his watch. Every few minutes, he would steal a look at the time, his fingers subtly tapping against the edge of the table, his mind clearly elsewhere.I hope it just wasn’t on that bastard, Kaiden because I would be so fucking furious. I am here, eating dinner with him and you are thinking about another person.I set my fork down. “Are you expecting someone?”He looked up, startled by my question, before shaking his head. “No.”I wasn’t convinced. “Then why do you keep checking the time?”He exhaled quietly. “I was thinking of going for a walk.”A walk? That meant he was leaving. Going somewhere that wasn’t here, with me.“Do you want me to come?” I asked, my voice carefully casual, even as my chest tightened with something close to desperation.I wa

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Blindsided

    SageThe past few weeks had been a blur of back-to-back work, photoshoots, meetings, and barely any sleep. Ever since I left the professor’s house, I threw myself into my career with reckless abandon, pushing every other thought, every lingering emotion into the background.It didn’t help that the professor didn’t come like I expected him to. He made that whole show of asking me for my address just to bail on me?I was a fool for thinking that, a really big fool.It was easier this way. Work didn’t betray me. Work didn’t make me question my worth.But exhaustion was creeping in. I could feel it in my bones as I walking to my car after wrapping up another long day. Martin really meant it when I said I was at the peak of my career so he utilized the chance to book me till events were clashing.I had barely closed the door when I caught movement from the corner of my eye.Too late.A hand wrenched the door open before I could lock it, and something hard slammed into the side of my head

    SageThe soft morning light filtered through the curtains as I lay in bed, listening for any sign of movement from the professor’s room. My heart pounded against my ribs as I replayed last night’s events in my head.It was perfect. Or at least, it was perfect for me. I had done everything to make him stay, to make him look at me the way he used to. He hadn’t even stirred when I touched him, and yet, despite everything, I still felt… anxious.Would he kick me out when he finds out I took advantage of him or would he interprète it as a show of desperation.That I reached the end of my ropes and had to do something to tame the voices in my head before they swallowed me whole.I heard the low groan followed by the rustling of sheets.He was awake.Finally.Forcing a bright smile, I walked into his room just as he sat up, rubbing his temples. He looked disoriented, blinking at me before running a hand through his hair.“What… happened?” he asked groggily, his voice rough with sleep.“You

    KaidenThe steady beeping of the heart monitor was the first thing I noticed when I woke up again. The ache spread through every inch of my body and I remembered what landed me in this position.I groaned, shifting slightly against the stiff hospital bed. My ribs protested with a sharp pain stabbing through my side.I reached out and touched my face, my face was swollen and my lips were split. I closed my eyes to tame the anger that resurfaced. Then, my phone rang.My first thought was to ask Martin to get it for me but it dawned on me that he had left. That’s why the room was so quiet.He would have been making a series of calls to save my career from impending doom.I turned my head slowly, wincing as I reached for it on the bedside table. The screen glowed with a number I recognized instantly. I had saved it out of instinct when I first got that unexpected message, when he had asked for my location.I hesitated, my thumb hovering over the screen.Why was he calling?Curiosity won

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Between two men

    Sage He ripped his cock from my mouth and pushed me so I was laying down, he straddled my face and lodged his cock far inside my throat.I gagged again, tears forming at the corner of my lips while he thrust even more deeply. He was holding my face at an uncomfortable angle to keep fucking my mouth.In. Out. In. Out. Kaiden had no mercy on me, huffing his pleasure, but then his dick pulled out, and I was left with an emptiness in my mouth, so aroused I wanted to hump the nearest pillow."Enough of the foreplay," the professor whispered, I managed to look up at him and his eyes were glazed with pleasure.He was boring a hole in my ass and before my lust soaked mind could consider what that meant, he had rolled me over.Forcing my pants to my knees before bending me on all fours. If I thought I had been hot before, I was burning up like I had been set on fire now.My mouth still ached from Kaiden’s onslaught but I hardly knew that this was going to be easy when I felt the professor rub

    Sage I grabbed Kaiden by the wrist, but didn't squeeze, and instead rubbed my thumb over his vein. “Are you sure about this? This isn’t why we came here,” I tried to plead with him one more time. I didn’t want him to be pushed into this but Kaiden shushed me by thrusting his tongue deep inside my mouth, a moan slipped out of my mouth. “I want this with you,” he said. My heart fluttered for all the wrong reasons. This was wrong on so many levels. We only came to comfort him and keep him company. None of this was planned. My lips were too dry to speak, but I was hypnotized by the intensity in his dark eyes, So I leaned forward and left a gentle kiss on his chin as my consent. His eyes were like hot tunnels, inviting me closer but before I could move, the professor stood and approached us with slow, deliberate steps. “How is it going to be? Think you can handle both of us at the same time?” He took off his shirt while asking the question, my mouth watered instantly and you wou

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Breaching the gap

    SageI couldn’t fathom the kind of anger that took over me. It killed me to see the pretty boy threading freely on my territory, especially after he knew that the professor and I were involved.I thought coming here would put my mind at ease but it did the opposite. I glared even harder at the intern, trying to gauge his audacity at even looking at the professor.He smirked at me when he noticed me glaring and I moved forward without even realizing it.The professor pulled me away from the intern with a gentle grip, his chuckle got to my ears and I paused,Was he seriously laughing right now? This was in no way funny."Sage," he said, a hint of amusement in his voice, "I must admit, seeing you throw a punch on my behalf was...unexpected. But this is a workplace and you should behave yourself.”“Behave myself?” I rubbed my knuckles, still throbbing from the impact. "He was crossing boundaries. I couldn't just stand there. I told you he wanted you, standing so close to you to whisper so

    A few days before Kaiden saw Sage with the intern….Sage I was at home when the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find an intern standing there, holding a manila envelope.​"Hey," he said, flashing a smile. "I have some documents for the professor."​I raised an eyebrow. "Couldn't you have just emailed them or sent a fax?"​He shrugged. "I didn't mind coming over. Thought it would be nice to deliver them in person."​He was good-looking, with a confident demeanor that bordered on smugness. As he handed me the envelope, he lingered a bit too long, his eyes scanning the interior of the house.​"Is the professor in?" he asked, peering past me.​"He's out at the moment," I replied, stepping slightly to block his view.​He nodded, then leaned against the doorframe. "So, how long have you been working with him?"​"A while," I said cautiously.​"Must be interesting," he mused. "He's quite the character."​I could sense where this was going. "Just so you know, we're dating."​He blinked, m

    Kaiden KaidenHe hesitated and I turned to look at him, pausing my steps.“I know this is probably a bad time but I remember we talked about going on a date. Let me take you out,”Is he for real?I literally just got back from the hospital and he wants me to go out with him?“I can’t go out on a date right now,” I told him as I eased back onto the couch, I winced from the soreness of my ribs. “Not until all of this is behind me.”He gave me a look that was a mix of disappointment and understanding. “I figured you’d say that. I had to try.”I offered him a faint smile. “I appreciate it, I do. It’s not about you, I just… I need to breathe. This whole thing is making me think I am too reckless.Raines leaned back in the chair across from me, elbows resting on his knees. “I get it. Trauma doesn’t go away because you wish it gone. But I want you to know, I’m not walking away. Michael’s going to answer for what he did, Kaiden.”“I remembered,” I said quietly.He looked up.I met his eyes.

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Ride along

    KaidenThe hospital discharged me just before noon the next day, but my body still felt like a patchwork of bruises, it felt heavy and sore from the trauma. I kept thinking of the river, of how close I’d come to dying, of how the professor must have felt seeing me drown. I don’t even know how he got shot but I was feeling really bad because of how I treated him. I didn’t expect anyone to be waiting outside. But when the nurse wheeled me through the double doors, I spotted them immediately and a smile flickered on my face.Sage stood by the car, arms crossed, trying to mask his worry. Detective Raines leaned against the hood, one ankle crossed over the other, his black coat dancing slightly in the wind. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes flicked straight to mine and softened.“Hey, sleeping beauty,” he greeted, stepping forward to open the door.I offered a dry smile. “You always flirt with your victims?”“Only the ones who survive attempted murder,” he said, giving me a wi

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

    SageI stood in the hallway of the hospital with my fingers clenched into fists in my pockets as I stared at the door to Kaiden’s room. The nurse had just told me where to find him. Room 48. I hesitated for a few seconds before finally reaching out to open the door.The first thing I saw was the professor.His arm was bandaged, blood still faintly spotting the edges of the gauze. He was standing near Kaiden’s bed, tense, his jaw clenched so tight it looked like he might snap it.Kaiden was lying in bed with an IV in his arm, looked pale, too pale for my liking and still somehow managed to be angry. He was frantic, his voice rising every second like he was desperate.“Call Raines. Call the detective, I need to speak to him, he should be here. Just call him, please!”The professor didn’t even look at me when I walked in. His undivided attention was entirely focused on Kaiden, his eyes burning dark with fury and something else…that looks like pain. What was he pained for? Was he mad

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Drowning in memories

    Kaiden It was a huge mistake. A big one but still, I wanted to do it. The moment I stepped out into the night, the air felt heavier. Colder. But I couldn’t sit still any longer. I knew it was dangerous. Hell, everything I’d done lately screamed recklessness. But there was something clawing at the inside of my chest. some knowing that didn’t feel like paranoia anymore. It felt like purpose. The second the detective left for his house, I planed it. Ethan’s mother was in a coma. And that wasn’t a coincidence. That was a message. So I took the back alleys. Wore a hoodie pulled low over my head. No car, just my sneakers hitting pavement and wet leaves as I walked the six blocks to her place. I knew I had maybe fifteen minutes. Less, if someone was already watching. There is a high chance that after their hit, they were looking to finish the job. I crept around the side of the house, careful not to trigger the motion light that flickered near the trash cans. The window I’d seen in

    Kaiden Dinner was quiet.Sage and I sat on opposite ends of the couch, plates balanced on our laps, the TV playing some crime documentary neither of us was really watching. I picked at the pasta I'd made, appetite long gone, but I ate anyway, because if I didn’t, Sage would worry, and I didn’t want to give him more reason to.He hadn’t said much since our talk earlier. About wanting both me and the professor.And I… I didn’t know what to say in return.Was it selfish to want clarity when he’d been nothing but honest? Or was I the coward for not knowing what I truly wanted?I pushed those thoughts aside when there was a knock at the door.I tensed.Sage looked up too, alert, his eyes darting toward the door as if bullets might fly through it next.I rose slowly, setting my plate down on the coffee table and walking toward the door without flipping the lock just yet.“Who is it?” I asked.“It’s Raines.”Detective.I exhaled in relief and opened the door.Raines stepped in, looking slig
