~You like that, huh?~ Xavier POV: When Marcus invited her to the party, I thought she would deny his invitation but I got the shock of my life when she agreed. Although, initially I did not intend to go there but it became a major reason for me to go. "We are going, right?" Ashely clung onto me. I have hated her ever since she hurt Arcane. No matter what, no one has the right to do that. But instead of leaving her now and aggravating her further, I decided to to stay with her. That’s how I decided on taking my revenge. The moment I walked inside Marcus home, I saw her. At first, I hated the sight. She was talking with Marcus and there was a huge smile on her face. I have never seen her this happy before. Whenever she talks to me, she is fiery. I can’t believe that she has this sweet side too. Furthermore, when I looked at her from head to toe, I felt like I was hit by a thunderbolt. The red dress clung to her body like its life is dependent on it. While her perfect sized boobs ar
~Touch me inappropriately. ~ [Mentioning of self harm. You have been warned.] Arcane POV: When I woke up in the morning, my head was banging because of the sharp pain. My eyes felt heavy and it took me great effort to open them. I groaned as the sunray felt too bright for my comfort. "You up?" I heard Mom. So, I tried to sit up but the moment my head lifted off the pillow I winced and fell on it again. "What the hell have you been doing? I told you no drinks, didn't I?" She started the lecture. "Oh dear lord. Mom, please not with your nagging right now." I ignored the hammering migraine and sat up. She glared at me and then poured me a glass of water. God, I really needed that. My throat was so dry that I felt thorns poking it. "Take it too." She popped out an aspirin and put it on my palm. I quietly gulped the medicine with the water and looked at her gratefully. "A high schooler and drinking-" she murmured. "Mom, I can have fun from time to time, can't I? Between classe
~Yes, sir.~Arcane POV:Next day, the first thing that I decided to do was to tell Abby the secrets which I am keeping from her. She has been my friend for a decade and when she finds out that my mother is getting remarried, I am sure she will get mad. Well, even I would do the same if I were in her place.I did not talk to her Mom at all after what she said to me in the morning. Even though she tried to get closer to me, but I think I need time to digest the situation. She cooked me breakfast and called me but I did not bat an eye and grabbed my things before leaving. "Arc. ARCANE." Her loud voice trailed behind however, I slammed the door on her face. 'No more drama in the morning." I thought to myself and walked to school. After taking morning classes, I gathered my courage before talking to Abby. "Hey, girl. I need to talk to you." I said to her softly. When she saw me all serious, she immediately put her things aside and observed me closely. "What is it?" She asked with conce
~Handle me roughly.~ Xavier POV: When I saw Arcane crying in the cafeteria, an uncomfortable feeling arose in my heart. I want to see those lips and eyes smiling. But the sight of her tear filled eyes and the red tip of her nose made my heart clench. I wanted to rush and pull her into my arms. However, I stopped knowing that I don't have such rights over her. We have been in the same school for more than a year and she always looked quiet and someone who does not bother about others. She only cared about her studies and diligently went to her part time job when she was supposed to be enjoying her high school life. But ever since I got to know that our parents are getting married, I felt like I am looking at a completely different person. She was all over the place or maybe I am feeling her existence more than ever. "Hey, son. What's wrong?" Dad asked me and patted my shoulder before taking a seat beside me. I don't know what kind of relationship Arcane has with her Mom but my
~Good girl.~ Xavier POV: The following week was really tiring and hectic. With all the practices and the classes, I don't think I had even enough time to breathe. But I definitely had time to think about Arcane. Damn!! That girl is stuck in my head and no matter what I do, I find myself falling into the pit called Arcane. She must have casted some kind of spell on me. I sighed and closed my eyes to sleep. However, that became an impossible task. Tomorrow she is moving to our place. I can't handle her at school, how am I going to live from today onwards? I kicked my legs in the air as I was frustrated. She is untouchable and I desire her. This is the most sinful thing that one can think of. 'Sleep, you jackass. Just sleep.' I tried to hypnotize myself but this was of no use. I sighed and cursed myself for having such a weak mentality. I sat up and looked for my cell phone that was laying aimlessly on the side table and after contemplating for a while, I decided to text Ashley. '
~Get on your knees.~Arcane POV:Today, we are moving to Jones. Mom had already done all of the packing while I was still chilling around. I lazily put my clothes in the suitcase and took all the time. I know I must be getting onto her nerves but I deserve to act out a bit after what she said to me. She brought it on herself. I don't know what is wrong with my relationship with Mom... whenever I think we are fine, we definitely aren't. She knocked on the door and peeked inside. "Do you need some help?" These days she is trying to be nice but I avoid her. Xavier Jones and Melissa Warner are forbidden to talk to me these days. Besides casual hello, hi, we don't exchange another word. "No thanks. I am almost done." I indifferently told her."Okay." She did not insist further. "I am waiting for you downstairs. When you are done tell me, we have to leave." She told me the purpose of her arrival now. I gave her a slight nod and went back to the things that I was doing. We are only taking
~Yours to tame.~Arcane POV:At school, I walked through the corridor to get my stuff from the lockers but Ashley stood in my way. I rolled my eyes at her and rotated my key in the keyhole to unlock it. "So, you are cohabiting with Xavier." She sarcastically said. It was more like an information rather than a question. I slammed the door hard. She flinched and laughed like a maniac. I wonder if she is mentally fine or not? "What do you want, Ashley? Wasn't it enough for you to humiliate me in front of the whole class? I did not report that matter, it doesn't mean I can't do that again." I threatened her and she looked at me speechlessly. "Calm your ass, girl." She rolled her hair around the finger and chewed the bubble gum loudly. I loathe this girl. I seriously do. Xavier has a really nasty taste when it comes to girls. What's the purpose of having such great looks when you can't even use them. I pitied him for hanging with a girl like her. "I thought he liked you but what? You are
~Tie me up.~ Xavier POV: I stood at the balcony of my room. A soft and gentle breeze was blowing and it made the weather cold. Since, it was Autumn the crisp leaves were falling with the breeze. I haven't seen Arcane lately although we go to the same school and live under the same roof. I go to school early because of the match that I have next weekend while she comes home late at night. I have a feeling that she is trying to avoid me on purpose. Her thoughts were clouding my mind but upon seeing her walk with those weak and lethargic steps, those clouds scattered instantly and without thinking through, I rushed downstairs and went to the kitchen. My guts were saying that she will come here for dinner. Soon, the main door opened and I focused onto her footsteps. I poured myself a glass of water and put it in between my lips. 'Don't make it obvious.' I told myself. My instincts were right. She really came to the kitchen. Arcane was still wearing the uniform of the cafe where sh
~I want you fu*king so bad.~Arcane POV:A year had passed since my graduation, and I found myself seated in the sleek boardroom of Jones Corporation. The transition from student life to the corporate world had been seamless, thanks to the opportunity extended to me by Vincent, a man whose generosity knew no bounds.From the moment I set foot in the company, I was determined to not only meet the expectations placed on me but to surpass them. The debt of gratitude I owed to Vincent was one I could never fully repay, but I was determined to try. My dedication to my work became my way of expressing the profound appreciation that lived in my heart.In the boardroom, I exuded a professional demeanor that had become synonymous with my presence in the company. Precision and attention to detail were the cornerstones of my approach to any task, no matter how big or small. Every report, every presentation was a testament to the meticulousness that defined my work ethic."Good morning, Ms. Mille
~Shhh... be a good girl and keep quiet.~ Arcane POV: Maya's eyes sparkled with mischief as she observed me, her curiosity uncontainable. "So, what's going on between you two?" I took a deep breath, knowing that I couldn't keep this a secret any longer. Maya was my closest friend, and she deserved to know the truth. "We... dated," I began, my voice steady but tinged with a vulnerability I couldn't hide. Her eyes widened in surprise, a gasp escaping her lips. "You and Xavier? Seriously?" I nodded, a small smile playing on my lips. "Yeah. It was back in high school." Maya's excitement was palpable, her teasing grin spreading from ear to ear. "Oh my god! Why didn't you ever tell me?" "It just... didn't come up," I replied, a hint of defensiveness creeping into my tone. It wasn't that I had purposely kept it from her; it was simply a part of my past that I hadn't revisited in years. She leaned in closer, her curiosity practically radiating off her. "Okay, spill the details. How did
~My mouth wants to do naughty things to you.~Arcane's POV:The glow of my phone illuminated the dim room, casting an eerie shadow against the walls. The headlines screamed from the screen, a harsh juxtaposition to the silence that now enveloped me."Xavier Jones: From Ice to Fists." The words seemed to taunt me, each letter a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic rhythm matching the whirlwind of thoughts in my head.When I saw the image of Xavier, his face contorted in anger, it was like a punch to the gut. This wasn't the man I knew. The Xavier I remembered was composed, controlled, a master of his emotions. This was a stranger, a fractured reflection of the person I held in my heart.And then, I saw the face of the other person involved – Ethan. The name alone sent shivers down my spine. It was a name I hadn't spoken or thought of in years, a name buried beneath layers of time and distance.My grip tightened on the phone, knuckles tur
~When its good, you are shaking.~Xavier POV:The familiar scent of home enveloped me as I stepped through the front door. It was a comforting blend of my dad's cooking, the wood of the furniture, and the subtle perfume that always lingered in the air. It was good to be back."Dad, I'm home!" I called out, my voice echoing through the house.Moments later, his head popped out from the kitchen, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Xavier! It's about time you showed up. I was starting to think you'd forgotten where you live!"I laughed, crossing the room to give him a bear hug. "Trust me, Dad, I could never forget this place. It's good to be back, though."He clapped me on the back, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, you better get used to it. Look how much weight you have lost. You better prepare yourself to bulk up.""I am focusing on my muscles, Dad. I cannot bulk up. It will be hard for me to play on the ice." I said to him playfully, "Or you want you son to fall on his ass
~I want to be fu*ked and loved by you, for the rest of my life.~3 years later;Xavier POV:The ice rink glistened under the bright arena lights, a frozen stage set for our performance. The crisp air bit at my cheeks as I glided onto the ice, the familiar scrape of my skates echoing in the empty rink. This was where I belonged, where every stride, every pass, held the promise of victory.As the team captain, the weight of responsibility sat comfortably on my shoulders. It wasn't just about winning; it was about leading my teammates, motivating them to push beyond their limits. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a blend of excitement and nerves."Let's own this, Xav!" Mark, my fellow forward, slapped me on the back, his eyes gleaming with determination.I shot him a quick grin, our unspoken understanding a testament to the years we'd spent perfecting our synergy on the ice. With a swift flick, I sent the puck hurtling towards the goal, the goalie's glove barely able to deflect i
~Give me a hickey where only we can find them.~Arcane POV:Stepping onto the bustling campus of the University felt like entering a different world. The air buzzed with excitement and anticipation, and I couldn't help but be swept up in the energy. This was it – a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting to be painted with new experiences, friendships, and knowledge.As the days unfolded, I threw myself into the whirlwind of university life. The first week was a kaleidoscope of orientations, campus tours, and the flurry of faces that would soon become familiar. Eveeryone was nice here and I wanted to befriend them all.One afternoon, while trying to find my way through the labyrinth of buildings, I met Luca. His laughter echoed down the hall, drawing my attention."Hey there!" they exclaimed, extending a hand. "I'm Luca. Lost too?"I chuckled, shaking their hand. "Definitely. This place is like a maze."We struck up a conversation about the art installation on the quad, and within minutes
~Pretty please.~Arcane POV: The room felt different, like a chapter closing. Tomorrow, I'd be on a plane, leaving this place behind. I couldn't predict when I'd return, and it certainly wouldn't be anytime soon. My gaze swept across the room, each corner holding a memory. Here was where Xavier and I shared that kiss, a sweet moment in time. There, he lounged on my bed, playfully teasing me. And it was this very room where he saved me from my darkest moments, bringing me back from the edge. Tears threatened, but I blinked them away, resolute. I zipped up my suitcase, sealing in the fragments of the past. The room stood still, a silent witness to a part of my life that was coming to an end. I took one last look, trying to etch every detail into my memory. Then, with a final sigh, I turned away, ready to face the unknown that awaited me. The room felt heavy, like a bundle of memories tugging at my heart. Leaving meant closing a chapter that had given me so much - a fatherly figure i
~Baby, your pleasure is my priority.~ Xavier POV: I was getting a call from my Dad. I smiled as I saw his name on the screen and I went to the dressing room to answer his call. As I heard my dad's voice on the other end of the line, a wave of warmth washed over me. It had been too long since we last spoke, and hearing his familiar tone brought a sense of comfort. "Hello, Dad," I greeted, unable to contain the smile that tugged at my lips. "I'm doing well. Training's intense, but I'm giving it my all." I could sense the pride in his voice. "That's my boy. I knew you'd give it your best. I've been keeping up with your progress online. You're making quite the impression." His words were a balm to my determination. Knowing that he was watching from afar, cheering me on, gave me an extra boost of motivation. "Thanks, Dad." I couldn't help but seize the opportunity. "You know, there's a game coming up. Why don't you come to it? I would love to see you." The only game that I played i
~Euphoria take over me when your tongue dance on my body.~ Arcane POV: Another year slipped away in the blink of an eye, and here I stood, on the precipice of high school graduation. It was a milestone that I had never imagined reaching without Mom by my side, her absence a constant ache that refused to fade. And then there was Xavier, a presence that still lingered in the recesses of my thoughts, despite the silence that had settled between us. As I watched my classmates buzz with anticipation, their excitement mingling with nervous energy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment. It was as though I was moving through the motions, the weight of the past still clinging to me. The ceremony itself was a blur of gowns and caps, a sea of faces that seemed to meld together. The applause, the speeches—they all felt like distant echoes, reverberating in a space that I no longer fully occupied. I walked across the stage, the diploma a tangible symbol of an achievement that felt bit
