I snuggled deeper into the hard pillow, though I was enjoying how comfortable the bed I slept on felt.

Wait. Since when was my pillow this hard?

My eyes flew open and met with a face inches away from mine.

Enzo.

I froze as I realized I wasn't lying on a pillow at all. My head was resting on his arm, and at some point during the night, I had curled up against him.

I looked around the room and froze. It was already morning.

The sun streamed through the curtains, lighting up the enti

    NICK WALKER ©For the entire day at school after I broke down, Avery didn't bring up the matter.Or maybe she just didn't want to talk about it yet.I felt embarrassed after everything happened. It had been a long time since something like that happened.The last time was when I searched for my mum after she left Mira with me and left.“Let's go out this weekend,” Avery said, pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to her.“Go out?” I asked and she nodded.“Yeah. Mira, you, and I,” she said as she opened the door to the house.“Well… the semester exams are coming, and we need to prepare for them,” I reminded her.She groaned.“Boring. That's exactly why people call you a nerd,” she said before walking inside.We met Mira working on her assignments when we entered.“Mira, what do you think about going out this weekend?” Avery asked as she sat beside her on the floorboard.“Going out?” she asked, looking up at me.“With Nick too?” she added and Avery nodded.I dropped my bag on the couc

    NICK WALKER ©I was that nineteen-year-old boy who didn't have his life figured out like everyone else seemed to.It wasn't an easy life, but I had no choice but to pull myself together.From the moment my mother left, I planned the path I wanted to follow.Stay by Mira's side until the very end.Work until I had everything settled for her.And earn a scholarship to college to avoid college bills.Nothing about me mattered as long as I had everything figured out for Mira.But why did I suddenly want something for myself for the first time?There was only one thing I wanted to get so bad.And it was the man standing right in front of me.I couldn't understand why, but I knew one thing for sure.I didn't want to stay away from him.I wanted those moments between us to continue.Lorenzo Grayson.I didn't truly know what I wanted from life, but somehow, I knew I wanted him to be part of mine.Was that wrong?“Then get on your knees,Nick,” Enzo said, holding my gaze as my heart pounded so

    LORENZO GRAYSON \ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©The morning I had planned wasn't supposed to include Vanya.Yet there she was, sitting in the passenger seat with her heels resting on the dashboard, staring out the window as I drove to college.After our argument last night, neither of us brought it up.Before I even woke up properly, Vanya was already dressed and ready.The moment I turned on the engine, she got into the car without saying a word.I gave her a look the moment she entered my car.“You don't expect me to sit around all day in that huge house waiting for you to come back from college, do you?” she asked.“No smoking on the institute premises,” I told her as I drove to college.She turned her gaze back to the window.“So we're setting rules now?” she asked“And stay away from Nick,” I warned.“And the Minister's daughter?” she asked and I turned to her.“Alina,” I corrected before focusing back on the road.“You're more protective of Nick than Ali...” she said, but I cut her off.“I

    LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©Lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the road for a brief second before thunder followed.Vanya looked out the window before glancing up at the dark clouds.“Etot dozhd' ne prekratitsya yeshche nekotoroye vremya, kogda on nachnetsya,” she said as I drove.{This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon once it starts.}I hummed in response and kept my eyes on the road.We left Kyle's bar just before the rain started to fall.A light drizzle tapped against the windshield as we drove on the road. It was close to midnight.My thoughts drifted straight to Nick. He was probably on his way home in this weather.“Tell me you're not thinking about that kid,” Vanya said.I glanced at her before looking back at the road.“Конечно я.” {Of course, I am.}“What's your relationship with him anyway?” she asked.For a few seconds, I fell silent and the only sound in the car was the rain against the glass.What exactly is he to me?Just my student?I scoffed at

    NICK WALKER ©The moment the woman Enzo called Vanya locked her blue eyes on me, I felt scared.Her gaze moved from my head down to my feet before she folded her arms and gave me a questioning look.“And who is this?” she asked and I quickly bowed my head politely.“I'm…” Enzo cut me off before I could finish.He spoke in a language that wasn't English, though it sounded familiar like he had spoken them before.The two of them exchanged words I couldn't understand before silence settled between them, and she turned back to me.She said something that I was sure was about me, making Enzo glance in my direction.“He's just my student,” Enzo said and the woman scoffed.I nervously bit my lip as they continued talking about me in each other's language. After a moment, Enzo let out a sigh and turned to me.“Why don't you come back later?” he said and I nodded quietly.“I'll take my leave, sir,” I said softly and headed for the door.The two men standing at the entrance stepped aside to le

    NICK WALKER ©We had already left the house, and the drive was so very awkward. Neither of us said a word as the car moved through the morning traffic.I sighed and turned my attention to the window. My palms were sweaty. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened.“Just drop me off here. Thanks,” I said when we reached the street close to my house.I didn't want Avery finding out where I'd spent the night.But Enzo didn't slow down, he kept driving and I turned to look at him.“Did you hear me?” I asked but his eyes stayed on the road as he continued toward my house.“Stop the car,” I said. Enzo glanced at me before looking back at the road.“I can drop you off at home and drive you to school afterward,” he said and pulled up a stop in front of my house.I groaned.“Didn't you hear what I said earlier?” I asked. “I don't want my friend finding out about this.”One of his eyebrows rose.“Shouldn't I be the one concerned?” he asked. “I had my student

    LORENZO GRAYSON\KERZHAKOV ©“Do you have any idea why he’s threatening you this badly?” Kyle asked over the phone while I drove down the road.I pulled the car over to the side and stayed silent for a few seconds.“Enzo…” Kyle called again.“I think Antonio is planning something,” I finally said. “

    NICK WALKER ©For the first time in a long while, I spent the whole night thinking. Thinking about whatever Professor Grayson did the previous night.No matter how hard I tried, I could not get what had happened last night out of my head.The way my whole body reacted when I felt him kiss my ear.I

    LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©My fist hit the mamba bag again.And again.Each punch came fast and hard, like I was trying to break something that would not break. The chain above the bag rattled with each hit. Sweat ran down my face, down my neck, and soaked my shirt. My breath came out in s

    LORENZO GRAYSON\ KERZHAKOV ©I lit another cigar and drew in a slow breath. Smoke filled my lungs and eased the sharp pain on my arm.The room smelled of dust, iron, and old wood. Kyle’s men had done their work well. The man sat tied to a chair in the center of the storehouse, his wrists bound, his
