ETHAN'S POV

Numb!

My hands shook, a violent tremble that had me fumbling as I scrambled for my phone, in my pocket. The cold dread in my stomach was ice, spreading rapidly, 911.

I need to call 911!

But before I could dial, a hand shot out, his hand, wrapping around my wrist. His grip was surprisingly strong, hot against my skin, and it stopped me completely. He pulled my hand, and the phone, down onto the desk with a dull thud.

“Just stop,” he grunted, the words strained, forced through clench

  • PROFESSOR'S PET (M×M)   CHAPTER 79

    THE ENDSix months laterThe sun rose gently over Silver Bay, painting the sky in soft hues of pink and gold. Waves whispered against the shore in a steady, calming rhythm, as if the ocean itself had decided to grant them peace after everything they had endured.In a small white cottage with faded blue shutters, nestled just steps from the beach, Kai and Ethan had found their sanctuary.Kai stood barefoot in the kitchen, the morning light catching on the silver feather scar that now lay openly on his chest.No more silicone sheets, or heavy concealer. No more hiding. He wore only gray sweatpants, his body still strong but softer around the edges from a life no longer defined by violence. A faint scar from the warehouse fight remained on his side, but it had healed well.He was making coffee — real coffee this time, not the burnt disaster he used to serve. The smell of fresh pancakes and strawberries filled the air.Ethan padded in from the bedroom, hair messy, wearing one of Kai’s old

  • PROFESSOR'S PET (M×M)   CHAPTER 78

    AUTHOR'S POVThe warehouse reeked of rust, oil, and fear.Kai stood in the center of the open space, blood already dripping from the graze on his shoulder, eyes locked on Ethan tied to the chair. Cole’s gun pressed firmly against the back of Ethan’s head.Pedro laughed from the raised platform, his voice echoing through the vast room. “Look at you. The mighty Kai, walking in here like a hero for some college boy. Pathetic.”Kai didn’t flinch. His voice was low, lethal. “Let him go, Pedro. This is between us.”Pedro opened his mouth to reply — but the words never came.A sharp crack split the air.Pedro’s head jerked violently as the sniper round punched through his skull. Blood sprayed across the platform. His body collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.Chaos erupted.Men shouted. Guns swung upward toward the tall building opposite the warehouse where Ghost lay hidden on the roof, rifle steady. Kai moved like lightning.He drew both pistols and opened fire.The warehouse turned

    ETHAN'S POVMy eyes were heavy, burning with exhaustion, but when I finally forced them open, everything was wrong.Complete darkness swallowed me. No windows, no light. Just thick, suffocating black. My wrists burned where rough rope cut into my skin, and my ankles were bound so tightly to the chair legs that my feet had gone numb. I tried to move, but the ropes only dug deeper, sending sharp pain shooting up my arms.“W-what’s going on?” My voice came out small and trembling, barely louder than a whisper. “Hello? Somebody help me!”Silence answered. The kind of silence that pressed against your eardrums and made your own heartbeat sound like thunder.Panic clawed up my throat, as many questions ran through my head. Was I kidnapped? Why? I was nobody. I had nothing. Were they going to harvest my organs? Sell me? Kill me?Tears stung my eyes as I struggled harder against the ropes, twisting my wrists until the skin tore. It was useless. The knots were tight, professional. I tried

    KAI'S POVThe note burned a hole in my pocket as I stepped out of my office and locked the door behind me. The hallway was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that made the back of my neck prickle. I scanned both directions, eyes sharp, searching for anyone who didn’t belong. Nothing. Just the usual afternoon lull — a few students hurrying to their next class, laughter echoing faintly from the stairwell.I moved to the balcony overlooking the quad, gripping the railing until my knuckles turned white. Who the hell had slipped that paper under my door? The female student with the gift box? Unlikely. She looked too innocent, too eager. But innocence could be a mask. Maybe she was just the delivery girl. Someone else pulling the strings.My jaw clenched. If they had access to my office, they had access to this campus. And if they had access to the campus, Ethan was no longer safe here.I couldn’t sit still.I took the stairs instead of the elevator, forcing myself to walk at a normal p

  • PROFESSOR'S PET (M×M)   CHAPTER 75

    KAI’S POVThe apartment felt like a tomb.I stood in the middle of the living room, arms hanging useless at my sides, staring at the space that only yesterday had been filled with Ethan’s laughter, his bare feet padding across the floor, his soft voice calling my name from the kitchen. Now it was just silence and shadows. The morning light coming through the windows did nothing to warm the place. It only highlighted how empty it had become.At the end of the day, I always end up alone. That’s the one constant in my life. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I want something different, I always end up here — standing in the wreckage of my own choices.And this time, it was entirely my fault.I dragged a hand down my face, exhaling shakily. Yesterday kept replaying in my head like a broken record. The way Ethan had looked at me when I came out of the shower — his eyes fixed on my chest, even though I’d covered the scar immediately. The way his heart had hammered against mine w

  • PROFESSOR'S PET (M×M)   CHAPTER 74

    ETHAN’S POVI slipped into the lecture hall twenty minutes early, picked my usual spot, very last row in the tightest corner, and tried to disappear. My hands were still shaking from the morning, from the stranger’s gray eyes that looked too much like Kai’s, from the way my heart kept ricocheting between hope and dread. I pulled my books out slowly, lining them up like armor, my hoodie pulled low over my face.Students started pouring in, laughing, gossiping, alive in a way I hadn’t felt in days. I kept my gaze on my desk, tracing the carved initials of people who didn’t have to wonder if the man they loved was a killer.Then the door opened again, and I felt him before I saw him.That same tall frame from the quad filled the doorway, scanning the room with lazy confidence. His eyes landed on me instantly. A slow smile curved his mouth, friendly, warm, and completely disarming.My stomach flipped, instantly.He started walking straight toward me.No, No no no.I dropped my gaze to m
