Chapter 5

I was about to ask him how he knew that when I noticed what he was looking at. I had forgotten that Clarisse had given me a lot of hickeys yesterday.

“How can you say that?”

I am bisexual, while Kayden is gay. He is not attracted to women. He had told me that before. However, he always wants to be the one in control whenever we have sex. I don’t mind being a top or bottom with a man. Whatever my partner wants, I’m fine with it.

It’s not a secret anymore to him that I do have sex with someone while being his fuck buddy. We are not exclusive to each other. We simply don’t care about each other’s personal lives.

“Because I heard you moaning my name while pleasuring yourself.”

My eyes widened at his words.

“Were you here the whole time?”

“Yes. I was just about to call you for breakfast because your mom asked me to.” He rolled his eyes. “But from what I heard, I feel like you want me as your breakfast instead.”

“Arrogant!”

I turned away from him and walked toward my walk-in closet. I grabbed some clothes and then closed the door. I gasped the moment I turned around and saw Kayden standing right in front of me. He placed both hands on either side of me, trapping me against the closet.

“What the fuck are you doing?” I snapped. “Go back downstairs. Mom and your dad might be looking for you.”

Instead of doing what I said, he slowly ran his hand along my neck. Goosebumps spread across my skin.

“Fuck…” he muttered under his breath.

“W-What are you doing?”

I wanted to punch myself for stuttering.

“Who told you you could just fuck around, huh? Did I give you permission to let someone touch you? To let someone mark you?”

His grip on my neck tightened. He was choking me now.

“Get your hands off me…”

I tried to push him away, but he didn’t even flinch.

“Answer me, Noah. Did I?” His voice dropped even colder now.

“What the hell are you talking about? We never agreed that we couldn’t have sex with other people! God, why are you making such a big deal out of it?”

I saw the way his expression darkened. He didn’t like what I said at all.

“Who’s that motherfucker, huh?”

“It’s none of your business!”

“Tell me before I completely lose my fucking temper, Noah!” His voice roared through the room. Good thing this was soundproof.

“What the fuck is your problem, dude? If you’re bored and have nothing better to do, don’t take it out on me. I’ve got a shoot later, and I don’t need this shit. Why don’t you just go to your company and do your job there?”

I shoved him harder this time. Luckily, it was enough to get him off me. I walked back into my bedroom and started getting dressed. I knew he was right behind me again.

“If you won’t tell me who that girl or guy is today, then expect your career to be over by tomorrow. I’ll leak our sex video,” he said coldly.

I turned to him in disbelief. He was already at the door, one hand on the knob.

“Stop pissing me off, Kayden,” I warned, my voice low and threatening.

“I’m just telling you my plan.”

“You won’t do that!” My voice rose. Whatever patience I had left snapped. I could feel the veins in my neck pulsing.

“I will.”

“Your name will be dragged into this too, so I know you won’t do it,” I said.

He looked at me, amused. “My face isn’t even seen in the video. And even if it were, I wouldn’t care. How about you? Do you care about what people would say?” His voice turned serious at the end.

I couldn’t answer his simple question right away because I knew the truth. Yes, I do care about what people might say. The world isn’t open-minded enough to accept things like this. There are still so many homophobic people out there, and a lot of us are too scared to come out because of the fear of being judged.

“See? That’s why if I were you, I’d just tell you his or her name. Simple as that.”

“She’s Clarisse! Satisfied now? I only know her first name. I don’t even know her full name. I just met her yesterday because we were partnered for a shoot.”

“Hmm… okay. I’ll take care of the rest.”

He walked out of my room with that familiar smirk on his lips, as if he were planning something unpleasant.
