LOGINAARON'S POVI shifted uncomfortably in my seat.The cafeteria was still noisy around us. Ever since the school management sent that email about the masquerade gala, it felt like nobody could talk about anything else.It had now become the main talk of the day.A group of girls a few tables away were giggling and chatting about wearing matching outfits. Another group was already arguing about who would win the ‘Best Pair’ competition.Meanwhile, Chloe kept stealing glances at me. I had a feeling I knew what she was thinking.Maybe she wanted to know if I already had a date partner. Maybe she wanted to be my date partner. Or maybe she thought I'd naturally ask her.Honestly, none of those thoughts made me hate her.Chloe was a really good friend. The problem was that I couldn't give her what she wanted.Not when every thought in my head kept circling back to one person.Jay."Do you have a date partner already?” Chloe finally asked.I looked up to meet her staring at me already. Kyle im
AARON'S POV "Kyle!!!"I screamed and waved my hand the moment I stepped into the cafeteria. A few heads turned in my direction before quickly losing interest and returning to their conversations.At one of the tables near the middle of the cafeteria, Kyle's head snapped up so fast in a funny way. Beside him, Chloe looked just as surprised.I grinned and walked over.Actually, ever since last night, that smile hadn't left my face. Jay's response was the last thing I'd expected. He had been acting cold and distant lately so I was thinking he would decline the invitation instantly. Though, he hadn't said yes, but he hadn't said no either. He said he’ll consider going with me if he wasn't too busy. For some reason, my brain had decided that was basically a yes.The thought of spending time with Jay outside the club made my heart race every single time it crossed my mind.I reached the table and dropped into an empty seat, opposite Kyle and Chloe.Kyle slowly lowered the sandwich in his
JACK'S POVAaron wanted me to go with him to the masquerade gala?My stomach flipped.I just stood there staring at him while the question echoed in my head.Would you like to come with me to a school masquerade gala?Despite how distant I'd always been with him, despite how many times I'd acted cold and professional, despite the fact that I never gave him anything more than the bare minimum… he still thought of me enough to invite me out.My chest tightened strangely as reality came crashing down on me.No, I couldn't go.What if someone recognized me? What if U.X. decided to pull another stunt? What if my mask slipped off? What if someone saw me leaving with Aaron? What if something happened and my identity got exposed?My stomach twisted.Aaron had never seen Jay in casual clothes before. Every single time he'd seen Jay, I was wearing a thong and a mask.What if he saw me dressed normally? What if somebody looked at me and immediately thought of Jack?Aaron wasn't stupid.I couldn'
AARON'S POVMy eyes went wide. Jay wanted me to fuck him. He wanted me to cum in his ass. My stomach flipped as my dick hardened again at the thought.Holy fuck.I had once fucked Jay before but I was the one who suggested it. Now, he was the one suggesting it, meaning he enjoyed it enough to want it again.My throat bobbed with excitement.Jay climbed onto the bed as I knelt upright, staring at his lips. Can I kiss him? I licked my lips.Fuck… no, I can't. I recalled how he had told me ‘kissing is against the club policy’ two nights ago. I didn't want to ruin this moment. So instead, my hands wrapped around his waist as I pulled him closer.Our dicks came in skin-to-skin contact as we both grunted.My face flushed, as I stared at Jay upclose. I couldn't see his face but I knew he could see my face behind the mask. That alone made my cheeks burn. Then I attached my lips to his neck and licked it slowly.Jay exhaled sharply as his hands gripped my upper back. “I'm going to fuck y

JACK'S POVMasquerade gala?Of course, I wasn't going to attend.I'd rather spend my nights working at the club than attending some party that wouldn't bring in a single dollar.More so, if I wore a mask… Aaron might become suspicious. I'd definitely look too much like Jay, and it wouldn't take long for my secrets to be dragged into the open without U.X. having to do much.Music vibrated through the walls of the club as I stared at my reflection in the dressing room mirror.I was Jay now.Red mask, red thong and red nipple covers.I checked the list of clients who had booked me for tonight once more.Aaron's name sat right at the top.For a brief second, a small smile tugged at my lips, but it disappeared almost immediately.I recalled how I'd nearly gone crazy last night when his name hadn't been on the list.Now that I thought about it, he hadn't come because his parents had just returned home. That was what he told me last night at Mercer's Street.Just like me, his parents probabl
JACK'S POVI was walking to the cafeteria without paying much attention to my surroundings. Every step I took, I kept replaying that moment in the lab over and over again like my brain had decided to punish me for it.The glass, the blood, Aaron’s face when it happened, and the way I reacted too fa
AARON'S POVFor one terrible second, my brain completely stopped working.Kyle still had the tissue pack in his hand from where I threw it at him, but the teasing look on his face had disappeared completely. Right now, he looked like he wanted the ground to open and swallow him alive.Chloe stood
AARON'S POVThe sting didn’t fully register until Chloe tightened her grip around my wrist.“Why would you grab broken glass?” she asked quickly, her voice somewhere between annoyed and worried as she turned my palm slightly toward the light.Blood slid slowly across my skin in a thin line, but eno
AARON’S POVFor a second, I genuinely didn’t know what to say.I could still hear the gunshot in my head. I could still see the way people were screaming and running. I could still feel how small that storage room was, with Jay standing right in front of me.None of those were things I could explai
