Jeremy pov:
It's been a whole week since the accident, and I finally got discharged yesterday. Luckily, it wasn't a major accident, so I didn't suffer any serious wounds.
I knew Steve and his gang would be waiting for me, ready to make fun of me again. It wasn't the physical pain that hurt the most, but the constant taunting and bullying that had become a part of my daily routine.
Despite my injury, I knew I couldn't afford to miss school. Grades were my top priority. Some might call me a nerd for that, but I wore that label with pride.
I didn't have much of an appetite, so I settled for a glass of milk before heading out. As I got into my black Ferrari, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had been weighing me down. I knew I had to face Steve eventually, but the thought of him making fun of me in front of everyone terrified me to no end. I revved up the engine and headed out early, trying to avoid Steve.
As I arrived at the school, I headed to the back of the building and settled myself under a tree. Normally, I would go to the terrace and listen to music, but the memory with Steve still lingers there, and I can't bear to face it. I decided to take out the novel I've been reading lately.
It's a romantic and erotic book, which I secretly love to read, and no one, not even Oliver, knows about it. I was completely engrossed in the book, oblivious to my surroundings. My mouth was open like a jellyfish as I read through an exciting scene.
Suddenly, someone snatched the book from my hands, and I looked up in frustration. I hated being disturbed while reading. It was Steve, and I felt embarrassed that he caught me reading such a book.
I stood up, trying to retrieve the book, but he held it high above my head. I couldn't reach it. As I tried to stretch to grab it, I lost my balance and fell onto Steve's chest. He caught me by the waist and pulled me closer to him. With one hand holding the book, he looked into my eyes, and we were dangerously close. I couldn't help but gulp, feeling a sudden rush of emotions.
"What are you reading, baby boy?" Steve whispered into my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine.
I looked up to see his piercing blue eyes staring back at me.
"It's... It's nothing." I stuttered, feeling my cheeks heat up with embarrassment.
I pushed his hands away, trying to put some distance between us. I could see a little bit of sadness in his eyes but I didn't care.
"Give my book back, Steve." I said.
"What's so interesting about this book is that you are reading it with your mouth open. Let me see." He smirked, his eyes scanning the pages of my book.
"Steve don't you dare." I said, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment.
He eagerly opened the book and dived into the pages, while I tried to sneakily snatch it from him. But to my surprise, he held my hands tightly with one hand, not letting me have my way. I tried to push him away, but he was too strong for me to handle. Finally, I gave up and let him read.
"His large calloused hands massaging her breasts and groping her ass." He read out with a smirk.
"Steve, don't," I whispered, feeling embarrassed.
"Wow, baby boy. I never knew you were this naughty," he teased, grinning.
"Give me my book back," I demanded, trying to wriggle out of his grip.
"I want to read more," he said, his eyes still glued to the book.
"He slid a hand between her legs, and spread her thighs wider..." He got cut off by me.
"Steve, stop it!" I shouted, feeling more and more embarrassed by the second.
"I can make those real for you. You don't need to feel pressure to read them," he whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my skin.
"No... It's not that..." I tried to explain, but he wouldn't listen.
"Don't try to deny it. You want it," he smirked, pulling me closer to him.
"Leave me alone, Steve!" I screamed, struggling against his grip but he was too strong for me to break free.
My heart was pounding as he came closer to me, his teeth grazing my ear. Despite the fear that gripped me, I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation, as if his touch had ignited something inside me. His eyes met mine, and they were dark and intense, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel his erection pressing against me, and I couldn't help but gulp nervously.
Suddenly, we were interrupted by the sound of students chattering nearby. Steve quickly pulled away, his face turning as red as a tomato. He refused to meet my gaze as he stammered out a quick goodbye before walking away.
I couldn't shake off the feeling that something had changed between us. He had humiliated me in front of everyone by posting that video, but here we were, lost in our own little moment. It was so confusing.
I scolded myself for letting my guard down. After all, he was my bully, the one who had posted that humiliating video of me. I should have hated him. I hit my head with my hands, trying to push away the confusing thoughts as I continued walking to class.
The final bell rang and I hesitated to leave the classroom. I knew what awaited me outside; a group of bullies, ready to pounce on me. I waited for everyone to leave, but it seemed like they were taking their own sweet time. As I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt something cold and wet dripping on my head. I gasped in shock and looked back to see Steve's friends, grinning at me. They had poured water on me. My shirt was soaked, and my skin was visible from underneath. I felt a pang of embarrassment and shame wash over me.
"Missed school for a week? You fat idiot!" Luca's voice thundered as I shivered from my wet shirt, trying to explain my absence.
"I...I met with an accident. I was at the hospital," I stammered, hoping for some sympathy.
"You are so dumb, piggy," he spat out.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, another boy chimed in with a crude remark.
"I saw the video, Jeremy. You look so sexy. But bad luck, I am straight."
Luca was silent for a moment, his face betraying a tinge of sadness. It was then that I realized something unusual. Luca didn't join in the mockery. This was strange because he was always the one to make fun of me in everything.
I think it had something to do with Steve. They shared everything and helped each other out of trouble. I could tell that Luca didn't want to make fun of me because it would also mean he was making fun of his best friend.
My heart sank at the realization that some people only care about their close ones. They don't mind hurting others, as long as they don't hurt their loved ones.
Luca was caught off guard as Steve barged into the classroom, his face twisted in anger.
"Luca, what are you doing?" Steve bellowed, his voice echoing through the room.
Luca tried to explain, but Steve wouldn't let him get a word in edgewise. With a fierce glare, Steve grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the classroom,
"what I had gotten myself into..."
Jeremy pov:As Steve dragged me towards the unused classrooms, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The classroom had been abandoned for years due to a fire. I shuddered as Steve turned to face me with a cold, unyielding stare."If he kills me, no one would hear my screams." I thought to myself.I couldn't ignore the sense of fear that crept up on me as we stood there in the eerie silence."I'm sorry, Jer," he said, and I couldn't help but be shocked by his words."What do you mean?" I asked, completely taken aback."I'm sorry for the way Luca and my other friends treated you," he continued. "It wasn't right."I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his words. "It's not like you were any better, Steve," I retorted. "You were the one who started it all. Those nicknames? Yeah, that was all you. So why are you apologizing now? It's a litt
Jeremy pov:I pulled Oliver into my car, and everyone around us fell silent. Steve and a few other students watched us with a mix of curiosity and concern.I wasn't mad at either of them, but at myself for causing more fight between the brothers. Although I despised Steve for what he did to me, I knew it was my problem to deal with. Oliver, on the other hand, shouldn't have said what he did to his brother.Despite my best efforts to bring them closer, I always seemed to fail. And now, seeing them fight over me, I was starting to lose my mind.As we sat in my room, Oliver was visibly upset. He hadn't said a word to me since I slapped him, and even during the drive home, he was quiet. I could tell he was still angry that his friend had taken the bully's side, but he shouldn't have said Steve didn't deserve to live. That was a harsh thing to say, and I needed to find a way to make thin
Jeremy pov:*Next day*It's gym class today and I'm feeling a mix of emotions. I used to dread coming here because of Steve. But Oliver is in the class, things are a little better.Steve's bullying used to be the worst part of my day, but now it's the bickering between Steve and Oliver.Even though I've tried to give Steve a second chance, I still can't stand him. It's hard to forget what he did to me, and the bullies still tease and make fun of me about the video. But I don't let it get me down for too long. I feel sad about it, sure, but I don't want to dwell on it and let it control my life.The coach's announcement startled me, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Today we're doing a relay race! Get ready and check your partner in the book," he yelled.I rushed to the book and started flipping through its pages, hoping and praying that I wouldn't be pair
Steve pov:"I can't resist kissing you, my baby boy. And I don't think I want to." With a sly smile, I whispered into his ear.I gazed down at his face, his body sprawled beneath me. My eyes searched for answers, his pupils were shaking with confusion. "Steve..." he whispered, trying to say something.I leaned in closer, my breath hot on his skin. "Tell me, Jer. Do you want me to kiss you?" I teased, watching as he slowly nodded his head."Very well," I said, leaning in even closer. "With your mouth, yes or no?" His answer was barely a whisper, but the desire in his eyes was unmistakable. "Yes."I couldn't resist moving closer to him, feeling the heat of his body against mine. His lips were an irresistible temptation, so soft and inviting. Slowly, I let my hands wander down his body, lifting his shirt to reveal his toned stomach. My fingers traced his abs, feeling the muscles beneath my touch. I could feel his excitement building. I pressed my lips firmly against his, seeking permi
Steve pov:The blood in my veins boiled as I stepped forward, my voice shaking with fury."How dare you hurt my brother," I roared at the group of bullies.The crowd around us fell silent, their eyes locked on us as they recorded the scene on their phones.My fist connected with a bully's face in a satisfying thud, sending a jolt of energy through my arm.Another bully appeared and blocked my way, trying to stop me from hitting. I felt a wave of anger surge through me and I couldn't help but lash out.I started hitting him with all my might, releasing all the pent-up frustration in me. Blow after blow landed on his face, but he didn't back down.Just as I was about to deliver the final blow, Luca intervened and shouted, "Steve, stop!"His voice brought me back to my senses and I realized that I
Jeremy pov:As Steve left the room, my mind was overwhelmed with thoughts of his gentle touch and the softness of his lips on mine. I lay in bed, tossing and turning, trying to rid myself of these distracting thoughts. Not in the mood to attend classes, I decided to skip and headed home. Upon texting Oliver, I received no reply, and when I called, his phone was switched off. The anxiety began to build up inside me, but I tried to remain composed.Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell interrupted my thoughts. Rushing down the stairs, I eagerly opened the door, hoping to see Oliver. To my surprise, it was Steve and Maggie who stood at the entrance.Although I felt a tinge of disappointment, my spirits lifted as I saw Maggie. Without hesitation, she ran into my arms and gave me a tight embrace. We laughed and spun around in joy until finally, I let her go. Looking up, I caught Steve's gaze, and his smile warmed my heart.I couldn't believe that Maggi was finally here, after all thes
Oliver pov:"I can't believe you hurt Jeremy!" I shouted at the group of men standing before me, my anger blazing hot.They cowered before me, heads bowed in submission.It was a heady feeling, knowing that even though these men were older and stronger than me, they were afraid of me.After all, I owned them now, Sebastian had sold them to me, and their lives were in my hands."You should have known better," I said, my voice cold and commanding."Jeremy is my love, my everything. How could you not recognize him?""We're sorry, master," one of them stammered, groveling at my feet."You all know the deal. Sebastian sold you to me, and now you belong to me. Your lives are mine to do with as I please."The men fell to the ground, begging for mercy. It was a satisfying sight, watching
Third person pov:"You've got to be kidding me!" Jeremy exclaimed, unable to believe what he was hearing.Steve stood in shock, feeling his jaw drop as he tried to make sense of the reason why the most influential mafia leader in Russia would want to cause harm to him.He couldn't fathom why someone at such a level of power would take an interest in him. His mind raced as he tried to piece together any possible reason for ending up on the wrong side of this dangerous man.The weight of the situation bore down on him as he struggled to recall any actions or words that might have led to this mess."I don't understand, Maggie. How could I have possibly gotten on the bad side of the Russian mafia king when he doesn't even know I exist?" Steve asked, frustration evident in his voice.Maggie shook her head, equally puzzled."I'm try
