LOGINAt Brookwoods High, everyone knows their place. Ethan Sanders is the invisible genius. He is quiet, controlled, and determined to survive senior year unnoticed. Blake Thompson, however, is the untouchable golden boy. He's is the school's star quarterback, heartbreaker, and everything Ethan avoids. Until one reckless moment changes everything. A kiss that should’ve never happened ignites something neither of them can ignore. What begins as tension and denial slowly spirals into stolen glances, dangerous secrets, and a connection that threatens to ruin them both.

His hands were everywhere and his kisses were like fire, burning with passion. Blake ran his hands over Ethan's body before pushing him hard, pinning him against the locker. The cold, metal surface bit at Ethan's skin through his shirt but he didn't mind it.
He wanted to push Blake away, but the quarterback's arms were strong, holding him in place. Before he could react, Blake's tongue was already entwined with his, his right hand moving from his neck to his hair.
“You like this?" Blake muttered under his quickened breath as he shoved his other hand under Ethan's shirt, pinching his nipples.
Ethan gasped as he pulled Blake's head back, soft moans escaping his lips. “Shut up,” he whispered, voice trembling. His body betrayed him - hips shifting forward, hands finding Blake’s waist.
Ethan could feel the jock's toned body under his hoodie and he wanted so much to run his hands over the chiseled muscles, feeling every curve. Blake chuckled softly, pulling Ethan back gently as he stared into his eyes.
“Who knew golden boys could get this dirty,” he whispered as he bit his lips.
Ethan smiled, his lips parting to reply when he heard a voice from a distance suddenly call his name.
"Ethan Sanders!"
The voice jolted him awake.
Ethan sat up in his seat, pushing his glasses up as he brushed his face with the back of his hand. His eyes shot up to meet Mrs. Durham’s narrow gaze.
“Oh, crap," he muttered under his breath, slumping back into his chair as he realized the entire class had turned their attention to him.
He had slept through class… again.
"Ethan Sanders," Mrs. Durham called again, her face squeezing into a little frown.
"Yes, ma'am," Ethan answered as he tried to compose himself… and ignore the hard-on straining through his khakis.
“Would you do the class a favor and tell us about the Socratic method?" she asked, her hands resting on her hips as she leaned against her desk. There was a stifled giggle from one corner of the room, but when she glanced in that direction, it immediately stopped.
Ethan did know the answer - he had gone over that topic last night. But he couldn't get up. His hard-on was still very visible, his dick cut sharply against the thin material of his trouser.
He wished now that he hadn't worn his new trunks to school.
"The Socratic method–"
"Stand up, young man," Mrs. Durham cut him off, her voice rising as her frown deepened.
"Shit," Ethan cursed under his breath as he adjusted his glasses for the umpteenth time. He carefully placed his hands in his lap and stood up slowly, trying his best to hide his hard dick under his desk.
"I'm listening."
Ethan gulped hard as he tried to keep calm despite the heat rising up his chest. He leaned forward, his hands covering his crotch as he composed himself.
"The Socratic method is a method of philosophical approach that uses questioning and discussion to stimulate critical thinking and uncover hidden assumptions," Ethan said, spewing out the same words he had read on the question the night before.
Mrs. Durham blinked, her face void of any emotion. Sighing, she ran a hand through her long hair with and muttered something under her breath, just loud enough for the front row to hear:
"Of course, the smart kid gets it right."
She sat up straight, taking a stylus from her desk and moving over to the smart board.
"Sit down, Mr. Sanders," she said as she wrote onto the smart board a broader definition of what Ethan had just answered.
Ethan quickly sat back down on his seat, adjusting his trousers up as all eyes shifted back to the board. The blood from his hard dick had begun rushing back but was now rushing to his face instead, his cheeks flushing.
“Back to what we were saying," Mrs. Durham continued. "The Socratic method of approaching…"
Mrs. Durham's voice trailed off as different thoughts began running through Ethan's mind. The dream… he could still feel Blake's wet lips and his strong arms wrapping around his waist.
Worst of all was the fact that the same person he had just dreamt about, sat just two desks away from him. Ethan dragged his gaze to where Blake sat and his face reddened.
As if knowing Ethan was staring, the jock suddenly turned and their eyes met. Ethan's flaccid dick immediately hardened again as Blake grinned at him, but the feeling vanished just as quickly when he saw Blake’s hands flipping him off. Blake’s grin faded, a scowl replacing it as he turned back to the board.
“Fucking bastard,” Ethan cursed, shifting his attention to Mrs. Durham.
How could he have let one stupid dream make him forget just how much of a dickhead Blake really was? The shit-for-brains had ruined his project just last week, and now he was having wild thoughts about him?
“Idiot," Ethan said, rather too loudly this time… or just loud enough for Blake to hear.
“What did you just call me?"
Ethan raised his head, his eyes widening as he found Blake standing from his desk, his fists clenched and his brow arched. Had he really been that loud?
“Sit back down, Mr. Thompson,” Mrs. Durham's voice cracked, jolting a sleeping Brandon awake.
Blake’s jaws clenched, his fists tightening as his gaze refused to shift from Ethan's. Ethan, who still remained seated, couldn't look away even though his guts twisted with fear.
“Sit back down or you'll both find yourselves in the principal's office,” Mrs. Durham said, her voice firmer this time.
Blake bit down at his lips before snorting and plopping back down on his chair. Smoothing his jacket, he turned back to the board.
Ethan swallowed, his hands shaking as he brought his gaze to the floor. This feeling was new, strange - and it threatened to consume him whole. A part of him hated that he felt this way, but another part… craved Blake even more.
INTO THE DARKThe lights went out. All of them. The shopping center plunged into darkness so complete that Ethan couldn't even see his own hands. For one scary second, nobody moved. Then—BOOM!The shot ripped through the darkness. Ethan winced violently."GET DOWN!" Blake yelled.Ethan dove to the ground. Another shot rang out, followed by the sound of breaking glass in front of them. People screamed. A table fell on the floor. And then Jake called out."Ethan! RUN!"Ethan didn't think. He just moved. He grabbed Blake by the arm and pulled him backwards as the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the food court."Where are we going?!" Blake shouted."I don't know!""Awesome!"They stumbled through the darkness, with Ethan stretching his arms in front of him. But then something grabbed him by the shirt. Ethan screamed."Easy!""It's me!"Ethan turned around. "Jake?!""I'm here!"He grabbed him and immediately felt the restraints on Jake's wrists. "They tied you up!""No crap!
THEU HAVE JAKEEthan stared at the photograph. His fingers were totally numb in the clasp of the phone. For a few moments, he did not say a word. He could hardly breath.Jake was standing in the photograph; he was facing away from the camera just a little bit. But the two men who were chasing him earlier were standing behind him. Something was not right about the photograph. Jake was not struggling, or running, or anything like that. It seemed that he was just standing there, as if he was oblivious to the fact that his photograph was being taken."That is not possible," Blake murmured.Ethan slowly looked at him. "What?"Blake pointed at the screen. "Check the timestamp."Ethan's gaze dropped. It was taken thirty seconds ago.Blake swallowed. "We are outside now.""Yeah.""So whoever took that picture was inside with him."Ethan's heart hammered. "Then we need to go back."Blake immediately seized his arm. "No."Ethan looked at him. "What do you mean, no?""We do not know who those gu
THE WRONG TURNJake was running. The shoes pounded on the floor, his breath becoming more heavy every time. But he didn't even dare to look back, because he could already hear the sounds of footsteps behind him."Fuck!" He suddenly turned to the left and crashed into the stack of boxes almost hitting the wall and glancing back to continue. Who the hell were these guys? Why was he the target? Everything was clear – the message, the drugstore, the commissioner, Aaron. But how it was related, he simply didn't understand.He finally reached the next door, opened it and found himself on a loading area where there were large delivery trucks parked under the concrete ceiling. Desperately looking around, he understood that he had nowhere to go. Then he spotted the stairs and ran towards them. The footsteps became louder."Jake!"Jake's blood froze. They knew his name.He rushed inside and began climbing. First floor, second, third. Reaching the roof access, Jake slammed his shoulder against t
THE CHASEJake pressed down harder on the pedal. The engine started roaring as the car accelerated, weaving its way through the afternoon traffic with the black sedan trailing several car lengths behind.Ethan turned around on his seat. "They're still after us.""I know!" Jake exclaimed.Blake peered into the rear-view mirror. The sedan switched lanes. So did they. Blake's fists balled up. "Jake, they're catching up.""I can see that!" Jake gripped the steering wheel with all his might. He turned his gaze to the rear-view mirror once more. The sedan was gaining ground."Who the hell is this?" Ethan asked.Jake shook his head. "I don't know.""But you said that you've seen that car before.""I said I saw it outside my place.""And that wasn't important?""I didn't know that they were following me!"Blake bent over, placing his head between the seats. "Could they be the commissioner's men?"Jake looked at him. "Maybe."Ethan frowned. "But why would the commissioner threat us?""Maybe he
THE HOUSE DOWN THE STREET 2The name hit Ethan like a brick and he found himself choking on his own breath. His head snapped up instantly to Tom standing a few feet away. “…Huh?” was all that slipped past his lips as his eyes widened. Tom just shrugged again like it was nothing. "He met me after
THE HOUSE DOWN THE STREETThe glass door slid shut behind Ethan as he stepped into Tom's lawn. Thin sprinklers scattered lazily across the grass sent arcs of water glistening in the late afternoon sunlight, and the air held a faint smell of wet grass and mud. Somewhere over one of the fences, a dog
LEFTOVERSThe class buzzed with almost instantly. The moment Dr. Keller said they should pick their partners, the sound of chairs scraping across the floor echoed across the room as students began turning toward “Calm down," Dr. Keller shouted over the noise, slamming his palm against the desk. “G
THE TASTE OF REGRETThe house carried the strong smell of beer–one that Ethan knew too well. It mixed with the faint scent of cigarette smoke clinging to the couch cushions and curtains, welcoming him as he opened the door. Coughing, he pushed through the ash cloud as he prayed his brother was alr
