Liam's POV

I had been getting dressed for twenty minutes before I admitted to myself that I was actually going.

Not because I was excited about it. Not because Steph's birthday party was anywhere on the list of places I wanted to spend my evening. But because the message was still sitting in my phone and every time I told myself to ignore it, some part of me that had not fully given up yet pushed back quietly and won.

I kept it simple with a checked shirt, fitted pants, and my favourite cardigan

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 89 — Does he want to draw me naked?

    Ken's POVI pulled my shirt off exactly like he said, without hesitation.But I didn't just take it off and toss it aside like it was nothing. I held it up for a moment — just long enough — and then winked at him with a slow, deliberate confidence that I absolutely intended, and then threw it off to the side like it had personally offended me.Liam watched the whole thing without blinking.Good!The room was quiet in the way hotel rooms got at night — that particular stillness where the rest of the world had genuinely stopped mattering. No restaurant. No rose petals. No Ann. No my-dad's-voice-still-sitting-in-my-chest. Just the romantic lamp on the side table, the sketchbook on Liam's knee, and the pencil he was holding loosely between two fingers while his eyes stayed on me with an expression I was still trying to fully categorize.He looked at me the same way I looked at him sometimes. Like he was taking inventory…More like he was deciding something.Then he said, "Take off your pan

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 88- Can't lose at both ends.

    Ken's POV"You okay?" Liam asked, his voice dropping into that quieter register he used when he was being genuinely careful with something.I still had my face in my hands. The petals were still on the table. The silence in the room was still doing what it had been doing since my dad walked out — sitting there like it had weight to it.I lifted my face and shook my head slightly. "I'm fine." I said it casually, the way you said things you had decided not to examine too closely right now. "I am used to it anyway. Ann has been trying to kick me out for years, so just forget it, okay?"Liam held my eyes for a moment. The concern didn't leave his face immediately as it sat there a beat longer, the way it did when he had heard something and was deciding whether to let it go or press on it.He let out a breath, slow and quiet.I looked at him and something about the way he was sitting there, in this restaurant, in the matching colors I had picked out, with rose petals on the sleeve of his j

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 87 — Dinner together gone wrong!

    Ken's POVAs I was thinking real fast, turning over every possible next word — when the next thing happened.And with that, I can say with full certainty that there was nothing I could have said at that point that would have made any single sense or proven even the tiniest point of defense….They came in from the side of the room — two of them, dressed in the restaurant's signature all-black, moving with the kind of quiet, practiced grace that said they had done this entrance a hundred times and had never once considered that the table they were walking toward might not want them there.One carried a tray. As he reached us, he tilted it forward and rose petals scattered across the table in a slow, deliberate arc — landing on the menus, on the glasses, on the backs of our hands.The other lifted a xylophone and began to play ‘Can't Help Falling in Love’ — soft, measured, note by note, and filling the entire executive space with something that would have been genuinely beautiful under an

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 86 — The dinner together about to go wrong.

    Ken's POV"Nope, no date." I answered with a small smile after a little time the question left Ann's lips, keeping my voice light and easy.Whatever she was fishing for, she wasn't going to get it from me. That was the one thing I had decided before I even sat down at this table — that no matter what Ann tried tonight, I was not going to fumble in front of her. She has always fed off reactions. The moment you gave her one, she knew exactly where to press next.So I kept the smile where it was and held her gaze just long enough to make the point without making it obvious."You know, actually, we were just going to get takeout, so…""Let's order." My dad's voice came in and cut straight across whatever I had been building toward. He was already opening his menu again, with his eyes down and that was the conversation closed as far as he was concerned.So, I stopped talking.Besides, there was no point finishing a sentence my dad had already ended. I picked up my own menu and dropped my e

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 85 — At the ‘supposed’ dinner together.

    Ken's POVWe were all already seated at one of the executive spaces where my dad and Ann had been waiting — and at least, it wasn't the exact spot where I had booked ‘Liam's and I’ reservation. Which meant there was a small chance; a slim one, that I could still salvage something of the evening I had planned. Maybe catch the manager on the way out, explain the situation, see if the booking could be rescheduled or something.It was probably not how these things worked. But I held onto it anyway, because it was the only version of tonight that didn't feel like a complete loss.The table was quiet in that particular way that happened when four people sat down together and at least two of them had things they were actively not saying. My dad was looking at the menu. Ann was sitting with that composed, settled energy she always had — the kind that came from someone who felt perfectly comfortable in whatever room they were in, regardless of whether they had been invited.Liam was beside me,

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 84 — She's a golddigger.

    Ken's POVMy dad nodded right away after Ann suggested dinner together, all smiling in approval while Ann kept her arm looped through his, rubbing his upper arm in that slow and comfortable way that said she had already made herself at home in a space that didn't belong to her.I wasn't surprised. That was the honest truth of it. My dad and the word ‘no’ had not been on speaking terms since Ann arrived, and watching it happen in real time still sat in my chest the same way it always did — somewhere between frustration and something I didn't have a clean name for.I needed to say something. I could feel it — the window was right there, small and closing fast — where I could have turned to my dad and said, ‘actually, Liam and I had already made plans, maybe another time.' It could be something easy that didn't require explanation.But the problem was that pushing back on Ann's suggestion in front of my dad, at this moment, after what he may or may not have seen in that elevator — that w

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 6 —Oh my goodness!

    Author's POVKen stood under the shower with his head slightly tilted back, water kept running from the top of his head and trailing down every line of his body like it had somewhere important to be. His dark hair was soaked through and curling slightly at the ends from the heat, dripping in thin s

    Ken's POV"It's actually none of your business."Liam said politely or let's say, with the tone of someone trying to be polite even though there was absolutely nothing polite about those words when you really listened to them. It was the kind of response that hit harder because it was calm. No shou

He even brought his lips closer to mine. ‘What's with this vibe? Is he going to kiss me?’Because the way Ken had his eyes fixed on my
