That small argument I had with Olivia by the lake left things awkward between us.

That night, Dent invited us to have a small bonfire by the lakeside. Four folding chairs were set up, the fire crackling in front of us, with snacks and drinks laid out nearby.

I downed my beer, watching Olivia and Dent being all lovey-dovey across from me. Meanwhile, Amanda sat beside me, going on about her job as a designer at some well-known company. She was clearly passionate about it, but to me, her voice jus

    “I saw you keep viagra in your nightstand.”Dent, fresh out of the shower, turned to me with a startled look. He walked over, opened the drawer, and tried to hide it from my sight.“No point hiding it. I already saw it earlier.”Looking embarrassed, Dent put it back in the drawer and sat down beside me. He played with the towel draped around his neck.“You use that? What for?”Even though I already knew the problem, I wanted to hear it straight from his mouth.“Things haven’t been great between me and Olivia lately,” Dent said, lowering his head, looking worn out. “I just… needed a break,” he muttered, scratching the back of his neck. “I thought maybe… coming here might help things get a little better.”I nodded like I understood. It didn’t really matter anyway. No matter how hard he tried to please Olivia, he’d already lost before the game even began.“So what exactly happened between you two?” I asked, deliberately pushing him to say it out loud—the truth that he couldn’t even satis

    “Everything’s going to be fine,” I said to Olivia, more to calm myself than her.Her body was still warm. She let out a soft moan in my arms. Every kiss mark I’d left on her skin, I traced again with my lips. Each kiss made her body heat up even more. She writhed beneath me.“Xavier…” she called softly.Instead of stopping me, her hands roamed over my bare shoulders, sliding up to my neck before tangling into my half-dry hair. The way her slender fingers moved through it only made my desire to have her again grow stronger.“Use protection this time,” she whispered, her breath uneven as I kissed every inch of her long neck.I paused for a moment—not because I hesitated, but because her request annoyed me. My hand reached over to the nightstand. As I sat up to look for that damn thing, I found something else inside the drawer. A single pill.Olivia glanced at it. “What’s that?”A smile tugged at my lips. Even though I’m a dentist, I obviously knew what this was. I held it up in front of

    “Ah, I was at the treehouse. Haven’t been there in a long time. It’s still as sturdy as it was when I was a kid,” I explained to Dent, who let out a wide yawn as he turned his body to face the bed.“Oh yeah? You look like a mess,” Dent muttered. He jumped onto the already messy bed, lay on his stomach, then closed his eyes again. His hand patted the space beside him. “Go to sleep.”I rubbed my face and walked toward the bed, glancing at Dent who looked exhausted. “I’ll sleep after a shower. I’m sweaty.”Dusty and smelling like sex, I added silently.As I took off my shirt and was about to head into the bathroom, Dent’s hoarse, half-mumbling voice stopped me. “You and Olivia are getting close, huh.”My body froze in front of the door. I turned to look at him, still in the same position. “Why? It’s normal for us to be close. She’s like…” I paused for a second. “…an older sister to me.”Dent didn’t move at all, but he spoke again, his tone warning.“Xavier, watch your boundaries.”“What

    “Where are we going?” Olivia asked as I led her away from the villa. Darkness stretched as far as we could see. The pine forest nearby looked eerie and intimidating, but my fear was gone. All I felt was excitement to take Olivia to my favorite place here.Using the light from my phone, we followed the path. It wasn’t far from the villa. The place had been built by our father a long time ago, but since Dent was afraid of heights, he never dared to go there.“Guess?” I said with a wide grin, still holding her hand.“You want me to guess? I have absolutely no idea, Xavier,” Olivia said, quickening her pace to keep up with me.Even so, my strides were still longer than hers. When we reached a large tree, I pointed upward. “My old playground.”Olivia let out an amused scoff. She let go of my hand and climbed the ladder first. I lit the way with my phone before following her up and opening the small door.The treehouse was circular, built around a large tree that served as its main support.

Meanwhile, Amanda sat beside me, going on about her job as a designer at some well-known company. She was clearly passionate about it, but to me, her voice just turned into background noise.“Xavier?” she called.Snapping out of my thoughts, I turned to her. “Yeah?”“Are you even listening? You’ve been spacing out this whole time,” she said, brushing her hand over my arm. “Are you drunk?”“Maybe.” I took another swig of my beer and finished it in one go.My eyes drifted toward Olivia, who was looking at me with concern. Dent, sitting next to her, smirked before tossing me another can of beer.“You’re free to drink tonight, Xavier. If you get wasted, A

    “I’m seeing Amanda,” I said casually, like it wasn’t a big deal.Dent narrowed his eyes. “Amanda? Olivia’s best friend?”I shrugged. “We’re dating now.”A second later, Dent’s expression shifted. A wide grin spread across his face.“So you’re actually in a relationship now?” he asked, stepping closer to me and Olivia. “Then why did you two look like you were arguing earlier?”I let out an annoyed sigh. “Olivia was surprised when I suggested a double date with the two of you.”Dent immediately turned to Olivia, who was standing quietly beside me. The next second, he burst out excitedly, “I’m all in for that. We can go to Dad’s villa by the lake.”He was already imagining things before anything even started. He walked toward the dining table, muttering to himself, “…we could go fishing, maybe stay there for a few nights…”His words faded into the background. Meanwhile, Olivia and I were lost in our own thoughts. I knew she didn’t agree with this idea—she was anxious, even scared. And th

    “Dr. Xavier, there’s a new patient waiting,” a staff member knocked on the door right when we were kissing on top of the desk.Hearing that, I pushed Xavier away and quickly fixed his clothes. “Go. I’ll grab my car and leave after this.”Xavier let out an annoyed sigh before stealing one more kiss

    “Dent, I’m going to see Xavier at his clinic today.”Dent, who was adjusting his tie, turned to me with a confused look. I walked over and helped him fix it. “My molar hurts. I want to get it checked. I’ll go to the café after.”“Want me to take you?”“No, I’m picking up my car there anyway, so I’l

    “Are you sure you want to move out so soon?” Dent asked during dinner.I tightened my grip on my fork, glancing at Xavier sitting calmly across from me. His expression was cold, his gaze sharp enough to pierce right through me.“Yeah. I don’t feel comfortable staying here and being a burden.”I fro

    “Dent’s coming home today,” I said to Xavier.“Hm.”“Are you okay?” I asked while gathering the dirty plates from the table.Xavier looked up at me. His expression was as cold as ever, but there was a flicker in his eyes—something sharp. Then came that dangerous little smile.“I should be asking yo
