Kaiden

I was fucking furious.

I slammed my hand against the steering wheel,

“Shit!”

The anger in my chest made it so tight that I struggled to breath. I drove off, ignoring Sage’s frantic calls.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I didn’t even have to check to know it was him. His name flashing on the screen only fueled my irritation. I shoved the phone into my jacket and focused on my destination.

I didn’t know where I was going but I just needed to drive. My vision was tinted red from the rage. It was a miracle I made it out of there without exploding.

By the time I parked in front of the sleek, modern building, I was practically vibrating with anger. I slammed the car door and stalked inside, my boots echoing against the polished floors as I made my way to the elevator. When I reached his door, I knocked aggressively,no, pounded.

The door swung open, revealing River. He stood there, his expression calm, as if he wasn’t the source of my current misery.

Yes, I came to his house.

    KaidenThe moment I stepped into the house, I was greeted with chaos. A vase came hurtling toward me, and I barely managed to sidestep it as it shattered against the door. My heart stopped for a split second, then raced as I stared at Sage, who was standing in the middle of the living room, his chest heaving, his face red with anger.Which was comical because his face was the same color as his hair.“Sage, what the hell?” I blurted out as I tried to process the attack.“You!” he shouted, his hand came up and grabbed his hair, “I cannot fucking believe you, Kaiden. I just can’t believe you.”“What are you talking about?” I asked, holding up my hands defensively. “You’re acting insane right now!”“Oh, I’m insane?” he scoffed, then he chuckled, “he called me insane,” he mumbled to himself before he turned back to me, “You know who called me? River. Professor River. He told me my so-called best friend paid him a visit today. My best friend harassed him and told him to stay away from me.

    SageThe next day, I dragged myself into the lecture hall, I still had to go to school. My phone had been buzzing non-stop since last night, but I ignored every call, every text. Kaiden could wait. Or maybe he couldn’t but I didn’t care. Not after the stunt he pulled.I kept asking myself if I overreacted or maybe, I acted just sane over someone I admire to my best friend but every part of me screamed that I was right. He shouldn’t have interfered with my career.I was so depressed that I didn’t want to come to school today but I managed it, and now, I was definitely regretting coming here since I couldn’t bring myself to focus.I sat in the middle row, my notebook open but I wasn’t writing anything down. Professor River’s voice drifted through the room as he explained some intricate engineering principle. It was probably fascinating, but I couldn’t focus on a single word. My thoughts kept circling back to Kaiden, from his jealous outburst, to the shame I felt when Professor River

    SageBy the end of my lectures, I was practically bouncing in my seat. The morning had been slow probably because I was so mad at Kaiden. I tend not to focus on anything till we have made amends. I was feeling so much better now, not because the fight with Kaiden had magically resolved itself, no, that was still a mess but because I had something far more exciting to look forward to.Professor River was finally giving me a tour of Novatech. Nova-freaking-tech.Today was the day. I couldn’t believe I forgot. Damn that Kaiden. The message had popped up on my phone by the Novatech team, officially welcoming me to their company and how they couldn’t wait to meet me.I had almost let out a squeal in the middle of the lecture but I held my mouth. Since then, my mood has changed. It became lighter and it stayed like that till the end.I could barely keep my excitement contained as I made my way to his office. My feet carried me with a little skip, and the fight with Kaiden was pushed to th

    SageThe tour was overwhelming. Every department seemed to be working on something extraordinary, and I couldn’t help but feel like a small fish in a huge ocean.What if I had nothing to offer here. I never once thought of that. I have always imagined working here but I forgot that my skills might pale in comparison to the others that work here.If they are as extraordinary as Professor River then I was barking up the wrong tree.He introduced me to various members of his team, and to my relief, they were all incredibly welcoming. His secretary, Clara, made a point to include me in their lunchtime plans.“You’ll be eating with us today,” she said with a grin.During lunch, I found myself at a large table surrounded by River’s team. They were friendly and curious, asking me about my studies and what I hoped to achieve during my internship. Clara filled me in on some of the office gossip, making me laugh with her dramatic reenactments of recent events.“You’ll fit in just fine,” she sai

    KaidenFor the first time in all the years I’d known Sage, he had managed to leave me completely speechless. Me, Kaiden, the master manipulator, the one who always knew the right buttons to push. And yet, Sage had stood his ground, unmoved by my usual tactics. It was infuriating. Worse still, I knew exactly when this shift had started, when he entered Sage’s life. Who knew the nonsense he had filled in Sage’s head to turn him against me.Professor Rivers.I should have gone home like Sage told me to, but I couldn’t. Not when I knew something was off, not when it felt like the foundation I’d worked so hard to build over the years was starting to crack. If I didn’t step in, Rivers would knock it all down.My deck of cards, I had perfected each move right from the moment I started living with Sage, I can’t let that man ruin it all.So, instead of leaving, I followed him to his apartment. I ignored his warning. I was still determined to turn the wind in my favour. He is just acting out

    KaidenI had always been a man of action. If something felt out of my control, I’d find a way to reel it back in. That’s why, when it felt like Sage was slipping further and further away from me, I did what any desperate person would do, I made a plan.The plan wasn’t exactly rational, nor was it entirely ethical, but it would put me back in Sage’s orbit. If he wouldn’t listen to me, if he was too caught up in his new life to see how much he meant to me, then I’d just insert myself into that life.The solution? Enroll in his school.Yes, it was drastic, but I was out of options. Sitting idly by while some arrogant professor stole Sage’s attention wasn’t something I could stomach any longer. I needed to remind him that I was the constant in his life, the one who’d always been there for him, who’d shaped him into the person he was becoming.And so, step one of my plan began with a trip to the admissions office. I had my disguise of course.I couldn’t risk the students finding out that

    KaidenStep two of my plan was one that made me look like a deranged idiot but I didn’t mind.I bought his favorite flowers, daisies and went to his place. Since I didn’t have a key, I stayed In front where I could see him when he came.Unfortunately, the rain decided to come down this time. It soaked through my clothes, turning me and my bouquet of daisies into a sad drooping mess. I was cold, I was shivering but I stayed rooted to the spot. Sure, the rain was unexpected but it added a dramatic flair to my apology. It made me look pitiful, apologetic and weak. I needed all the help I could get at this point.He wouldn’t ignore a soaking wet fool like me, he has a good heart.The bright headlights of a car pierced the downpour as it rolled to a stop a few feet away. My grip tightened on the flowers when I saw who stepped out of the car. Him. Professor Rivers.He popped open an umbrella, walking Sage to the building’s entrance like some perfect gentleman.

    KaidenThe next morning, I woke up with a fresh plan. I wasn’t going to let Sage slip through my fingers, not to the professor or to anyone else. If Sage thought I was being ridiculous, fine. But I’d prove to him that I wasn’t just being paranoid.Thankfully, we had reconciled and I don’t think we would be fighting again. So I had the free reign to do whatever I wanted.I ran out in the morning, very early so I could go get a change of clothes and also coffee. Nothing like a good peace offering to start the day.When I arrived back at his place to pick him up, he looked surprised to see me. His hair was still damp, sticking to his forehead, and he had that slightly disheveled, barely-awake look that he always wore in the mornings. I handed him a cup of coffee.“Morning,” I said casually, leaning against the doorframe.“What are you doing? Where did you go so early in the morning?” he asked, rubbing his eyes and reaching for the coffee.“Thought I’d drop you off at school. Consider it

    RiverThey say the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.But that wasn’t the same for the beautiful boy under me. He liked sex so much that you would think he makes money from it. Lifting him off my dick, I moved my hips, spreading my legs while he knelt in between, slumping against my leg with a tired sigh."Why'd you stop..?" He pouted, and it was as sexy as it is adorable.I ignored him."Put your cock in me." He breathed out the words in a rush, grabbing the lube and stroking some quickly onto my dick, magnified in its state of tumescence. The thing is fucking huge right now, and rock solid, which has me quivering below the waist.I was trying so hard not to unload on him.He bit his lip, scooting in closer while I aimed my cock between his ass. He wiggled his ass and lined it up in front of my cock, he pushed it in, and we both groaned out loud."Fuck me..." he hissed, but I was already doing it, pumping into him with his palms on my chest.

    SageKaiden left after making sure I had eaten and wasn’t going to drown myself in my own misery. He didn’t say much about why he was leaving, just something about giving me space. I appreciated that. For all our unresolved issues, he still understood me better than most.But even after he left, I didn’t feel better.I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened in that boardroom. The professor’s words echoed in my head, over and over again, like a curse I couldn’t shake.A mere student.I knew he had to say something to protect himself. I knew he was trying to get us out of trouble. But the way he said it, like I was nothing, like I didn’t matter…I couldn’t let it go.I needed to see him.Even if I wasn’t sure what I would do when I got there.The drive to his place was a blur andI knew I was running on pure emotion, but I didn’t care.

    KaidenThere are many ways to describe emotions, words crafted to fit fleeting, intangible feelings. Some people might call it satisfaction, others contentment. But the specific emotion I was feeling right now? Bliss.The kind of bliss that came when everything was finally going my way.I have never felt this before even when I first landed my modeling job, all I felt was courage to pursue my dreams.I ran a hand through Sage’s hair, careful not to wake him. His breathing was steady, his face relaxed in sleep, unaware of the chaos I had carefully set in motion.There was only one way he would let me back into his life, if he needed me so I made him need me.Yes, I sent the picture to the school board.I am not proud of myself.Okay, yes I was. I was damn proud of myself to have thought of it.I hadn’t expected things to escalate so quickly. I thought the board would at least investigate, maybe suspend the professor, but no. He was a slippery bastard, wiggling out of it with some ridi

    SageI barely registered the professor tapping me on the shoulder. My mind was too tangled in his words, the word, mere student still bouncing off the walls of my head."Sage." His voice was quieter than usual.I blinked, forcing myself out of my thoughts, and turned to look at him. "What?" My voice came out flat, emotionless."We should go."I nodded, falling into step beside him. Us going means everything has been resolved but has everything really been resolved. I cannot believe I was tagged mere after everything we have shared.I should thank him for saving my behind but my mind was elsewhere. My feet moved on autopilot, and the world around me felt distant, like I was watching everything unfold through a foggy glass.He must have noticed."Is everything okay?" he asked.I gave a small nod.He stopped walking. I didn’t notice at first, I kept going until I heard him sigh. When I turned, he was standing there, arms crossed, watching me carefully."Your expression doesn’t look plea

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Mere Student

    SageThe walk to the conference room felt like the longest of my life. My hands were clammy, my heartbeat erratic, and my stomach twisted in knots so tight I felt like I might be sick.I had never been in trouble before, not in high school, not in college. I was the kind of student teachers trusted, the kind that never caused problems. So why the hell was I walking toward a meeting with the board like some kind of delinquent?The admin refused to give me any information when I asked. I’d tried pressing her for details, but all she offered was a polite, tight-lipped smile before gesturing for us to continue walking.The professor, on the other hand, walked ahead like he had nothing to fear. No tension in his shoulders. No panic in his stride. Just complete and utter composure.I wished I could say that calmed me, but it only made me feel worse.Was I the only one freaking out here?Does he have a plan?Why were we even in trouble?By the time we reached the waiting area, my hands were

    SageThe moment we pulled into the school parking lot, I yanked the door open and slipped out of his car without so much as a backward glance. No goodbye, no small talk. Nothing. I needed space, time to shake off the unsettling feeling in my chest.What does he mean he couldn’t get jealous? Does he feel anything for me at all?Were we just playing a game of cat and mouse till we were both tired? The whole thing just ruined my mood for the day, I couldn’t even force a smile right now.As I hurried toward my first class, my phone buzzed in my pocket. With a sigh, I pulled it out and glanced at the screen.A text from him."You didn’t kiss me goodbye."I stopped walking for a second, my lips parting in disbelief.Why should I?He said he didn’t get jealous. He acted like nothing bothered him, like nothing could shake his unbothered existence. So why was he suddenly playing the part of a neglected lover?Or was he just toying with me?My fingers hovered over the screen, a sarcastic reply

    SageThe car was silent, save for the hum of the engine as we drove down the familiar road to campus. I didn’t think much of it at first, I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts, still reeling from Kaiden’s unexpected return. My anger has subsided, thanks to whatever the professor was doing to me so I was no longer angry but indifferent to my friend.But the longer the silence stretched, the more I became aware of the tension in the air.The professor wasn’t just quiet. He was brooding.I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. His hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than usual, his jaw locked in place. His entire posture screamed restrained irritation, but I wasn’t sure why.It wasn’t until I lifted a hand to turn on the radio, anything to break the awkward quiet that he finally spoke."What was he doing at your house?" His voice was calm, almost too calm. "Did he sleep over?"I jerked in my seat, completely thrown off by the question."What? No!" I shouted, my react

    SageI was still riding the high of my victory over my bullies. If I could stand my ground against them, then I could handle anything. The power, the confidence it gave me, it thrummed beneath my skin like an untamed current. I went to bed feeling invincible, convinced that things were finally turning in my favor. So much that I forgot about texting the professor that I was going to bed. I figured he was so busy that he couldn’t be bothered with what I was doing.But still, standing up for the first time in my life made me feel more alive than I could have hoped. All my life I have been put down and mocked for how I looked or something they just weren’t happy with. They constantly used me as punching bags to make themselves feel better and I took it because I was weaker than them.But today, I wasn’t weak. I had power over them and I protected what I love. It made me extremely happy.That feeling lasted until the morning.A sharp knock jolted me awake, and I groggily sat up, glancing

    KaidenThe camera flashes faded as the photographer called for a break. My jaw was clenched tight, my entire body taut from holding poses for hours. I grabbed a bottle of water from the nearby table and took a long drink, letting the cool liquid soothe my parched throat.That was when my phone vibrated.I pulled it out of my pocket and unlocked the screen, my eyes narrowing at the message from my PA. There were pictures attached, multiple ones.I clicked on them.The first image was of Sage getting into a familiar black car. I swiped. Another photo.Sage laughing in a coffee shop, sitting across from the professor. Next. A picture of them walking side by side on campus, too damn close. My fingers tightened around the phone as I scrolled through the series, each image making my blood boil.And then the final picture.Sage, stepping into the professor’s apartment building with an overnight bag.I exhaled sharply through my nose, gripping my phone so tightly I thought it might snap in h
