Ryker's POV

I made my way back to my room with my whole chest aching for him.

The campus path was nearly empty now, lit only by scattered lamps and the distant glow of dorm windows. My footsteps sounded louder than usual, almost as if the night itself wanted to remind me that I was walking alone.

But I didn't feel alone.

Leo's face was still with me.

The tiredness in his eyes.

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Permission Slip

    Ryker’s POVI woke to the smell of alcohol.For a second, I thought I had slept in the wrong room, until I looked properly and saw Oliver and Chris sprawled across Oliver’s bed like two casualties of war.Both of them were in nothing but their boxers, one leg thrown over the other, mouths open, dead to the world.I burst out laughing.Chris had somehow ended up using Oliver’s stomach as a pillow, while Oliver’s arm was hanging off the bed with an empty beer can still clutched in his hand like a trophy.“What the hell happened here?” I muttered.Neither of them moved.I shook my head, still laughing as I got dressed for class. I grabbed two bottles of water from the mini fridge, found the aspirin in my drawer, and placed everything neatly on the beds

    Ryker's POVI made my way back to my room with my whole chest aching for him.The campus path was nearly empty now, lit only by scattered lamps and the distant glow of dorm windows. My footsteps sounded louder than usual, almost as if the night itself wanted to remind me that I was walking alone.But I didn't feel alone.Leo's face was still with me.The tiredness in his eyes.The way he tried to act like he wasn't in pain.The stiffness in every movement.The way he had said so little while somehow telling me everything.How difficult must life be for him?How heavy must every single day feel?To wake up and already know your choices were not your own. To speak lies you did not create. To smile for cameras while bleeding behind closed doors. To be raised by a father who cared more a

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Alone with you.

    Leonardo's POVCatherine was fast asleep beside me, her breathing soft and even, one hand resting across the sheets where my body had been moments ago.I stared at the ceiling.Sleep would not come.The room felt too warm, every blink dragged me back to that house, to the crack of gunfire, to blood on polished floors, to my father's calm face while I screamed.Even here, miles away, he occupied every inch of space.I couldn't breathe in this room anymore.Carefully, I slipped out of bed and reached for the shirt draped over the chair. My leg protested the second I stood. Pain crawled upward through bone and muscle like fire ants.I looked at the cane leaning against the nightstand.Wood. Metal. Humiliation.A prop to keep me moving.A souvenir from my father."Fu

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Wait for your sake

    Ryker's POVStudents were still crowding the hallway near the school cafeteria, all of them buzzing like bees around sugar. Some sat on the floor with wrapped gifts in their laps.Some leaned against the walls pretending not to care while fixing their hair every time footsteps sounded nearby. Others whispered loudly about how they hoped he would smile at them, wave at them, maybe even say their names.I stood near the back, arms folded, trying to look like I wasn't there for the same reason.Hours passed.The hallway that had once been noisy enough to shake the walls slowly thinned out. People began checking their phones, sighing dramatically, complaining that their feet hurt or that they had tutorials early the next morning. Every time the elevator dinged or a door opened somewhere down the corridor, heads snapped up in unison.Every single time, disap

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Avoid the suspicion 

    Leonardo's POVI pulled the apartment door open, and the first thing I saw was Catherine springing up from the couch like she'd been waiting there for hours."Oh my God."She rushed toward me before I could even step inside. Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck, nearly knocking the breath out of me, and for a second I just stood there, stiff and exhausted, while her perfume swallowed the air around us.“Leo?" she blurted against my shoulder. "Do you know how worried I was? No one would tell me anything. I called and called and nobody answered. What happened to you?"I carefully peeled her arms off me and stepped further into the apartment, using the cane to steady myself. The door shut behind me with a heavy slam that echoed through the room."I'm here now," I said simply.That did nothing to calm her.She followed me across the living room, questions spilling out of her mouth faster than I could dodge them."Why do you have a cane? Why are you limping? Why didn't anyone let me se

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   What it is and What it isn't.

    Ryker’s POVI slurped the rest of my small portion of spaghetti and chased it down with a cup of water that had already gone warm. It was past three in the afternoon and I was only just having breakfast, if cold cafeteria pasta could be considered breakfast. We’d had a surprise test that morning, one of those evil little academic ambushes lecturers seemed to enjoy, so I skipped food and ran to class half awake and fully unprepared.I was also fairly certain I had done terribly.Nothing says academic failure like stuffing yourself with carbohydrates in public.I scraped the last forkful from the plate and leaned back in my chair, letting out a sigh. Around me, the cafeteria hummed with its usual midday chaos. Trays clattered. Chairs scraped. Students laughed. Someone at the next table was arguing about football statistics with so much intensity you'd think he was the teams coached or something.I was just about to stand and head back to my dorm when the doors burst open and a group o

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Prove a Point

    Leo’s POVThe janitor had been harder to deal with than I planned.I shoved my hands into my pockets as I walked across campus. The night air was cool, but it did nothing to calm the irritation boiling under my skin.The old man had so looked terrified when I cornered him near the maintenance build

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Closet space 

    Ryker's pov The door slammed shut behind Leo.For a long moment, I just stood there.The closet was quiet again, the faint smell of bleach and detergent hanging in the air. My breathing was still uneven, my chest rising and falling as I tried to process everything that had just happened.Leo had d

    Leonardo’s POV“Come with me,” I ordered.Ryker’s jaw tightened immediately, his expression hard with the same anger he’d been carrying since I stopped him in the hallway. For a second I thought he might refuse.But he didn’t.

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   The devil's toy (1)

    Ryker’s POVEverything freaking hurts.My chest hurts.My throat hurt from barking like a stupid animal.My knees ached from the polished floor of the Sovereigns’ lounge.But none of that compared to the sharp, suffocating pain sitting right in the center of my chest.I stormed across campus, wipin
