All Chapters of Love In The Gray: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Troy adjusted his jacket one last time and nodded at his reflection in the mirror. His outfit was on point: blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a sleek leather jacket that fit him perfectly—just enough to turn heads.Running a hand through his dark hair, he made sure every strand was in place before flashing a small smile at his reflection. His fine features stared back at him, exuding confidence, or at least, that’s what he told himself. "You’ve got this," he muttered under his breath, though he wasn’t entirely sure why he felt so nervous.He was going to see Eric again, this time, as a surprise. It had been twelve days since they’d started seeing each other constantly, and Troy had to admit that Eric was a cool guy although he was annoying at times. Lately, Troy had found himself thinking about Eric more than he wanted to admit. There was something about Eric that drew him in, something he couldn’t quite put into words. The pull was magnetic, almost addictive, and despite the confusi

“Let’s become lovers,” he said, his gaze locked on Tristan’s.Tristan blinked quickly, unsure if he’d heard correctly. He thought Aiden had been mad at him earlier since Aiden had left without saying anything, and now this sudden confession? It puzzled him.His lips parted as though to speak, but no words came out.Aiden didn’t wait for him to reply. He stepped even closer, as if he wanted to enter Tristan's body, his breath warm against Tristan's face as his gaze flickered to his lips. Those lips... He could easily imagine a life spent waking up to kiss them every day.“Let’s start with this…” Aiden murmured, leaning in to capture Tristan’s lips in a kiss.The kiss began gently, as if Aiden were savoring the flavor of Tristan's lips. Tristan froze for a moment, but soon he began to surrender to it, his heart racing wildly. He thought about pulling away for a brief moment, thought about saying something, but instead, he allowed himself to fully experience the moment. Deep down, he had

Troy’s eyes widened further as he heard the voices of Aiden, Jefferson, Colby, and Sam getting closer to the entrance.He quickly checked the time and realized it was almost game time.Panic set in. What was he supposed to do now? He had been caught red-handed, and it scared him because he hadn't intended to reveal his relationship with Eric to his friends just yet.His mind spun as he looked at Kai, then quickly shifted his gaze toward the door. His friends were about to walk in, and he had no idea how to handle this situation."What are you going to say?" Kai asked, staring in the direction of the approaching voices. Troy pulled away from Eric, who couldn't help but chuckle at Troy’s reaction."Is this really how you want to seduce me, acting like a scared little kid?" Eric teased, and Troy shot him a glare but didn't say anything.Kai suddenly turned around, leaning against the doorframe and blocking the entrance. He gave a strained smile, holding up his hand to stop the others fro

Colby looked at Aiden and Tristan, then glanced between Troy and Eric, tilting his head curiously at their quietness."Wait a second, you're all speechless. Does that really mean... are you all dating?" he asked again. This time, Tristan chuckled at Colby's sudden question. Though Colby was right, it wasn't the right time to let anyone find out."Why don't we put it this way?" Tristan began, standing straighter as he looked at Colby."Colby, think about it. Do you honestly believe it's even possible for Aiden and me to date? I mean, with our personalities? Have you forgotten who Aiden really is?" he asked, casually slipping his hands into his pockets, ignoring the glare Aiden threw his way.Colby squinted, scratching his head as if trying to figure it out."Well..." he started, narrowing his eyes like he was solving a difficult puzzle. "I mean... yeah, you do have a point." He paused, then shrugged and added, "That's why I asked. I know how much you two can't stand each other."Aiden

"Make me scream your name tonight," he said boldly.Tristan pulled back slightly, his brows furrowed. "Do you know what you're asking for? You're asking me to stretch you out," he replied, his tone serious.Aiden nodded, unflinching.Tristan shook his head and stepped away. "Not now," he said firmly."Why not? We're the only ones in this house," Aiden countered, moving closer, but Tristan backed away even further, creating more space between them."We're taking things too fast," Tristan said. The flash of hurt in Aiden's eyes made his chest tighten, but he knew he had to speak his mind."What do you mean, 'too fast'?" Aiden asked, his voice trembling slightly. "You don't even know what I dream about every night when I go to bed."Tristan closed his eyes and exhaled sharply before meeting Aiden's gaze again. "I really want to make love to you, to make you scream my name, but—"Before he could finish, Aiden climbed onto him, straddling his lap. Leaning down, he captured Tristan's lips i
