~Wanna workout?~ Xavier POV: In the morning, when I went downstairs, I was hoping to see Arcane. But there weren't any signs of her. Dad was having breakfast alone. "Good morning, Dad." I greeted him and took a seat beside. "Good morning, son. How are you? How was your trip?" He put his cellphone on the table and inquired. "Everything's been great." I skimped all the denials regarding the tussle which I had with Marcus. "I heard you won the series." "How do you know?" I was surprised and put the glass of juice back on the table. "I just do." He said with pride and I could not help but smile. "Dad, how's Melissa?" I was worried about her health and I am not sure why Arcane was behaving that way last night. Maybe she knew about her health and lost it. He sighed, "Not great." He looked helpless and anxious. "Most of all, she is worried about Arcane. She is acting weird these days. I am not sure what I should do." "Why? What's wrong?" I fidgeted ignorance. Because I am n
~Rose are red, lemons are sour, open your legs and let me devour.~ Arcane POV: All I wanted to do now was to get a deep sleep. School and the part time job has exhausted me. I opened the door of my bedroom and turned on the lights, however, when my eyes fell on the bed, I almost screamed and immediately put my hands on my mouth to stop myself. My legs literally gave away. While he had that huge smile on his face and waved his hand. "Hey, there." He said ecstatically. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I closed the door and rushed closer to him. "I think there is only one purpose for me being here." He shamelessly said to me and I was fuming mad at my luck. I don't know why all of my secrets are revealed to this man. "Please, Xavier-" I practically begged him but he held my wrist and pulled me so hard that I fell on his chest. I gasped and tried to get up but he wrapped his arm around my waist and made it impossible to even budge. "Please what?" He asked me in a deep
~Welcome to the dark side, where all the fun stuff happens.~ Arcane POV: Today, when I arrived at the school, the area around the notice board was filled with people. Indistinct chatters and the buzzing sound made me curious about what's going on. Even Abby, the ultimate BBC reporter who gives me all the latest reports regarding the school, wasn't here. I mustered up my courage and walked closer to the latest piece of news which is creating such a hype. "I am so excited. I can't wait for this." Ashley's friend Laura said to her and she forced a smile. "So, do I." Ashley was saying. I frowned and glanced at the board. "2 days 1 night field trip." Damn! Why didn't I know about it? I read more information and I was surprised to see that it is in 2 days. "Hey." Abby wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Hi. Good morning." I greeted her. "What's making everyone so excited from early in the morning?" She inquired and before I could tell her, she was already done scanning the bo
~Wait, are you alone right now? ~ Arcane POV: We were supposed to leave early in the morning but I wasn't done with my packing yet. Moreover, I was excited to go on the trip and my excitement was doubled because Xavier was going with me. But when I thought about what Marcus told me, my heart withered like a rose and I could even feel the petals falling. With the heavy heart, I got up and took out a suitcase and started to pack some clothes and few other necessary things while my thoughts were still roaming around Xavier. I can see that he is changing around me and it is making me happy but I am not sure about his side which isn't in front of me. His true thoughts and his true intentions towards me are still a mystery. I neatly put clothes, a couple of sneaker, my toothbrush and toothpaste with some lotions and creams which I use in my daily life. However, my thoughts stumble again on him. 'I don't want another heart break. If he will stays same then that's fine. He takes care of
~Getting her wet requires foreplay.~Arcane POV: "Students, you are going to make your own lunch. After that, you are free to spend the time by yourselves." Professor Smith instructed us."Damn!! We have to work here like a maid." Abby said to me with the gritted teeth while I could only laugh at her lazy a**. Furthermore, the boys were busy with setting up the tents, so the girls had to cook ultimately. "Come on, I will help you with it." I held her hand and dragged her to the side where the menu for the day was being discussed while from time to time I could feel Xavier's eyes on myself. But I wanted to avoid him at all costs. After the little tussle which we had in the bus, I wasn't ready to encounter him right now."What are we making?" Abby asked the other girls who were busy running here and there and getting ingredients. "The highlight of the camping is the BBQ." She told us excitedly and winked. "Great, now we will have to bear with the smoke too. Do you know how burning an
~Wanna play cat and mouse?~Arcane POV:At night, we made a bonfire. It was excruciatingly cold on the mountains. So, to get some warmth, we settled around the fire. I quietly watched how the wood burned by the fire and captured that moment with my eyes. "Let's play truth and dare." A senior suggested and I was suddenly intrigued by that idea because playing adult truth and dare is in my list. "Truth and dare? That's childish." Someone did not like that idea and it made me frown. "Don't worry, we won't be playing in the traditional childish way and will spice it up." The senior who suggested, he added and my mouth watered at the thought of spicing it up.My eyes must have lit up with excitement and I buried myself in the blanket. People started to gather for the game and I couldn't wait for it to start. Soon, I felt a hand wrapping around her waist. I almost jumped because of the shock but his strength kept me in place. "What are you doing?" I whisper shouted at him. "Don't make o
~Some things are better when they are wet.~Arcane POV:Last night was the most comforting night which I have experienced in my life. I never realized that just sitting with someone, without saying a word can bring so much relief. All the tension which had been building up inside me evaporated. I don't know how long we stayed together and when I went back to my tent to sleep. But in the morning, when I got up, I was refreshed. I took a shower and changed my clothes. However, when I saw him walking around, looking all luxurious, I couldn't help but smile. He winked and walked towards me, "Good morning." He leaned closer and rubbed my upper arm. "Morning." I whispered. "Someone's in a good mood today." He taunted me in amusement. I rolled my eyes, "Trust me, this has nothing to do with you." I assured him. He cocked a brow, "And I think it has everything to do with you." He grinned and showed me all 32 teeth. I scoffed and went to get food for myself. After breakfast, we have to le
~I want to tease you before I please you.~ Arcane POV: Tonight, I have to go on a dinner date with Marcus which I promised him. Half-heartedly, I picked out a plain peach colored dress and got ready for the night. I didn’t put any effort because I didn't want to lead him on. However, after getting all set for the date, I went downstairs just to find everyone home. I shut my eyes and inhaled sharply. 'They really don't have to be home. Sh*t! I can't answer their questions.' I thought. "Arcane sweetie, where are you going at this time?" Mom inquired and from the corner of my eyes I glanced at Xavier who had his hands clenched into fists and glared at me with those deep blue eyes that were about to strip me bare. "Actually, I am going to see a friend." I couldn't say the word 'date'. However, they are no child to not understand the situation. They do know what it means to go out while being dressed up from head to toe. "What friend?" Mom raised a brow and now I didn't like how s
~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
