LOGINJULIANI stood in my room with my back against the door, slapping my own mouth over and over like that would somehow undo what I had just done. My hand kept hitting my lips as I muttered to myself, “Why did I do that? Why the hell did I kiss him like that? What is wrong with me?”The kiss kept replaying in my head. Enzo had looked so angry when he came home, like he was ready to burn the whole place down, and then he had stalked right up to me in the kitchen and said those words. I had backed up until I hit the counter, stuttering like an idiot, and then I had just leaned in and kissed him. It had felt like the only thing I could do in that moment, but now that he was gone and the house was quiet again, all I could feel was panic.I needed help. Not just for myself and whatever this mess with Enzo was, but for him too. That paper was important, and from what he had said, losing it was going to ruin everything if he couldn’t fix it in time. I grabbed my phone and called Charlotte first
ENZOI did everything Julian told me to do. I checked every backup folder on my laptop. I went through my email for any confirmation receipts. I even called the university tech support and explained the whole timeline step by step. Nothing. The file was just gone. Vanished like it had never existed. Now I had exactly one week to redo a paper that had taken me two full months to put together in the first place. Two months of research, arguments, citations, and late nights. And I had to start from scratch.I drove straight to the professor’s office after that. I was already in a bad mood, but when I sat across from him and asked for an extension, he barely looked up from his desk.“I’m sorry, Enzo, but I can’t give you more time,” he said in that calm, detached way professors sometimes used when they didn’t want to deal with excuses. “The deadline is firm. Every student in the class has the same rules. If I make an exception for you, I have to do it for everyone. You’ll have to work wit
JULIANI left Kai’s place feeling a little lighter after our talk and the call with his dad. But as I walked back to the penthouse, the weight started creeping back in. I kept thinking about Enzo and the way things had felt between us lately, the tension, the almost moments, and how confused I still was about it all.When I stepped inside the penthouse, the first thing I heard was Enzo’s voice coming from the living room. He was shouting into his phone, pacing back and forth with his free hand clenched into a fist. His face was tight with anger, and his voice carried through the space like he didn’t care who heard him.“I submitted that case file three days ago,” Enzo said sharply into the phone. “It was complete. Everything was there, the arguments, the evidence, the citations. Now you’re telling me it’s gone? How does something like that just disappear from the system?”I stood near the doorway for a moment, not wanting to interrupt but also curious about what was going on. He sound
JULIANLater that day I ended up at Kai’s suite because he kept texting and saying he wanted company. The place was big and comfortable, with a wide couch that we always ended up sprawled across whenever we hung out. Kai was being extra clingy from the moment I walked in, pulling me down onto the cushions and poking at my sides until we were both laughing and wrestling around like we usually did when it was just the two of us.We were still laughing when Kai leaned back against the arm of the couch and started telling me about his hookup. He had that excited look on his face, the one he always got when he wanted to share every detail.“Man, this guy was something else,” Kai said, grinning wide. “We went back to his place and things heated up fast. I was on my knees sucking his cock for what felt like forever. He was moaning so loud and gripping my hair, and I just kept going until he finished down my throat. It was intense as hell, but in a really good way.”I felt my face heat up rig
ENZOI watched Julian scramble to his feet and bolt out of the room like he was being chased. The second the door slammed behind him, a low laugh escaped my throat. I couldn’t help it. The look on his face, that perfect mix of panic, want, and confusion was almost too good. I had only been teasing him, but the way he reacted told me everything I needed to know.He wanted it.He wanted me.I stood up slowly, still painfully hard in my boxers. Instead of going back to my own room like a decent person would, I followed him. Quietly. I knew exactly where he was going. When I reached his door, I didn’t knock. I just pushed it open a little, just enough to see inside.And fuck.Julian was already on his bed, completely naked, legs spread as he worked that toy inside himself. His face was flushed, his lips parted, and he was moaning softly with every thrust. One hand was wrapped around his cock, stroking fast and desperate. He looked wrecked in the best way.I leaned against the doorframe,
JULIANI was on the floor, staring up at Enzo like my brain had completely short-circuited. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. He was crouched in front of me, caging me in with his arms, and his words were still echoing in my head.If you wanted to suck me, stepbrother, just say so.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out at first. I tried to speak, but the words got stuck somewhere in my throat. My eyes kept dropping to the obvious bulge in his boxers. He was so hard. And I wanted it. God, I wanted it so badly it scared me.Enzo’s voice was low and rough when he spoke again.“You don’t have to be ashamed,” he said. His eyes were dark, locked on mine. “I know you want to suck it. Go ahead.”I swallowed hard. My hands were shaking. I was this close — this close — to reaching out, pulling his boxers down, and taking him into my mouth. The thought alone made my own cock twitch painfully in my pants. I could already imagine the weight of him on my tongue, the way he
JULIAN The morning of our presentation, I woke up feeling nervous but ready. We had spent so much time preparing the slides and practicing our parts that I knew the material well. Still, standing in front of the whole class to defend our work made my stomach twist a little.When I got to the lectu
JULIANI stayed locked in my room for hours after the kiss.My back was against the door and my knees were pulled up to my chest. I could still feel the pressure of Enzo’s mouth on mine, the way his hand had cupped my face like he was afraid I would disappear. My heart was beating too fast and my t
JULIAN By seven in the evening I was standing in front of Charlotte’s building with my bag over my shoulder and my phone to my ear. I had thought about stopping by Kai’s place first since it was on the way, but I decided it would only waste time. We had a lot of work to do on the group project and
JULIANA week had passed since the group project was assigned. I was at my locker after the last lecture of the day, swapping books and trying to organise my notes for tomorrow’s rounds. The hallway was emptying out, the usual end-of-day chatter fading into the distance.I was just closing the lock
