ログインRYKER'S POV
I instantly snapped out of my wild imagination. Gosh! What the hell was I thinking? I mean, its not a bad idea. I'll lIke him to do….Oh! Shut up, Ryker!!
He stared at me intently, scanning me whole, as if contemplating the punishment to give to me.
His hands reached out to my face, caressing my cheek. “You're shaking,” He breathed, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Did I scare you….or excite you?”
I swallowed hard. My heart thumped, fear and excitement twisting in it. “What's the punishment?” I stuttered, keeping my voice low.
He redrew his hands and my skin burned where his fingers had been—like it missed him already. His gaze darkened, “Soon. You'll know soon.” His lips curved into a dark smirk.
My stomach flipped. I wanted to ask him about that night. Did his friends really did as they said? Did he fuck them? Did he have fun?
The questions roamed in my head but couldn't leave my lips.
Then, he leaned in, “You've got something to say?” He asked, like he read my mind.
I hesistated for a while, silence stretched.
“Did you–” I paused, and bit my lips.
His eyes twitched, staring at my lips.
My heart raced as I spoke again. “Uhm…I mean, after the restroom…” I paused again, cursing myself inwardly. I clearly didn't know how to ask what I had in mind.
His throat bobbled, gaze darkening. It seemed he knew exactly what I wanted to ask. He was only trying to act unaware. He was punishing me, he knew it's a tough question to ask.
But I was willing to give it a try. “The two…..bitches. D….did you–” I muttered, and almost bit my lips.
Before my brain could process a thing, he crashed his lips on mine.
I blinked, my eyes widened.
He ravished my lips, kissing me deeply. He bit my lips slightly and I gasped. He slid his tongue into my mouth, tasting all corners.
I responded almost immediately, kissing him back and matching his pace. His hand gripped my neck–not tight but controlling.
I let my hands rest on his shoulder as I pressed into him more. His other hand slid into my shirt, rubbing my chest, abs, everywhere.
Then he broke the kiss, breathing hard. His eyes darkened with lust. “I don't think that should be any of your business, boy toy.” He breathed, replying to my earlier question.
My heart burned, hurt evident in my eyes. I tried hard to mask it.
Not like he was wrong. I was just his boy toy. I didn't have the right to question him about who else he had fun with. I should be even more grateful that he didn't end the deal right here.
Earlier, when those bully ignored me, I reasoned that it had something to do with the deal I made with Leonardo.
I tried to clench my fist but I clenched the wrong one as a piercing pain surged through me. I winced, hissing in pain. It was my injured palm, the one I punched the mirror with. It was bandaged now.
Leonardo's gaze flickered to it and I saw his jaw tick. “Who did this?” He gritted out, his gaze flicked to my face and back to my palm.
My throat ran dry.
“Okay! So I was thinking about those two bitches on your bed, having the best time of their lives while you drill their holes. And then I got really angry and punched the mirror.”
I thought in my head. It would be really foolish to actually say that to him. But I was foolish for punching the mirror.
“No one. It was an accident. It isn't serious.” I mumbled softly, hiding the palm behind me.
He didn't bother to ask further. Not like he cared. Instead, he stepped back, creating distance suddenly that it hurt more than a slap.
“You can leave.” He muttered, inserting his hands into his pocket.
What!!
I felt my insides tightening.
“But…but–” I stuttered, meaninglessly.
“What?” His lips curved into a deadly smirk. “You don't want to go?” “You want me to fuck you just the same way I fucked those bitches?” He teased, watching me intently.
My breath hitched.
The words slammed into me hard. My heart burned with jealousy, humilation and want–twisting together until I couldn't tell which one burned the most.
Just the same way…
My chest tightened painfully than ever. So that was it. To Leonardo, I was just another body that could be used and replaced.
I hated that my heart still ached for approval. I hated that the jealousy burned quietly instead of exploding. I hated that I still longed for his touch.
Above all, I hated myself.
“We made a deal. I don’t get to ask for your touch. You decide… and I submit.” I struggled to say but inwardly, I really wanted him to touch me–just not the same way he touched those bitches.
His gaze remained blank. “Good.” He smirked and stepped forward.
I retreated, heart racing.
He took another step and I backed away again—until my spine met the wall.
He closed the distance between us, bracing his hands on either side of my head, trapping me completely.
He buried his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing. I felt heat pool in my thighs. He began licking and biting hard as I rolled my eyes in pleasure.
Fuck! I could feel a bulge in my pants.
“Fuck…nardo…” I arched helplessly into him, my head fell back in pleasure.
His body stiffened and I heard him grunt low in pleasure. Then he continued, nimbling on my neck skin, igniting desire within me.
Just then, I felt something hard on my thighs. It wasn't my cock–it was…
I swallowed, letting my hands trail down to his lower abdomen. I almost gasped when I saw how erect he was–even through his pants, it was visible.
Boldly, I rubbed his bulge through his pants fabric as he pleasured me with his tongue. He grunted in pleasure and it only fueled my desire.
Then he stopped, and looked into my eyes. Want flashed in it and I gulped. Please, don’t hold back. I begged silently.
Then he leaned in and kissed my earlobe. I shivered, fisting my hands into his shirt.
“I want you,” he whispered hotly against my ear.
Leo’s POVThe house was empty there was no sound of Catherine moving around. No footsteps following mine. No quiet reminders that she was there.I couldn’t even remember where she said she was going.And honestly?I was glad.For the last month, Catherine had practically become attached to me.Everywhere I went, she was there.Every meeting, every event, every place I had to be, she somehow found a reason to come along.It was suffocating.I knew she was trying to fix things between us, but the harder she tried, the more I felt myself pulling away.Especially because every time I looked at her, I thought about Ryker.I hadn’t seen him.I hadn’t texted him.I hadn’t called him.Because I didn’t know how I was supposed to see his face and then come back here and lie beside Catherine like everything was normal.Like I wasn’t thinking about someone else.Like my heart wasn’t somewhere else.The worst part was that Catherine had become more physical too.At night, she would try to touch me
Catherine’s POVI lay comfortably on the bed, staring at the ceiling.My body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache. My back hurt, my head was pounding, and I felt like I hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep in weeks.I shifted slightly.Then I froze.I needed to use the bathroom.With a small sigh, I pushed myself up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.The apartment was dark. Leo was still asleep, his back turned towards me.I looked at him for a second.Even now, after everything, he still looked peaceful.It almost made me angry.How could someone look so calm and yet be so stubborn? I turned away and entered the bathroom.My eyes landed on the small bag sitting beside the counter.My heart tightened.I had lost count of how many pregnancy tests I had secretly taken every week.Sometimes more than once.For four weeks, I had watched that tiny little stick like it held the answer to my entire future.And every time, nothing.Nothing.I had started wondering if maybe
Ryker’s POVYou would think that after one month, everything would have started to fix itself.That the misunderstandings would clear up. That the tension would finally fade away. That the silence would stop feeling like a heavy weight pressing against my chest every single day.But it didn’t.If anything, everything felt even more confusing.Milestone was almost completely empty now. Most of the students had gone home after finals, leaving behind quiet hallways and classrooms that used to be filled with noise and endless conversations.Even my roommates were gone.Chris had gone back home. Oliver had left a few days after exams ended. Ronaldo had also left, although he made me promise to call him every day.I hadn’t seen Leo since our conversation.Not once.Not a message. Not a call.Nothing.I tried not to think about it too much.I tried to convince myself that he was busy, that maybe things with Catherine were complicated, that maybe he was trying to figure things out.But every
Catherine's POVI should have followed my first instinct.I should have mentioned Padrino from the very beginning.The moment Leo started acting like he suddenly had a choice, like he could just throw away months of plans and expectations because of some stupid obsession, I should have reminded him exactly who he was dealing with.But maybe it was better this way.Because now, the fear in his eyes was real.Leo could be stubborn. He could be arrogant. He could be impossible.But he wasn't stupid.He knew what happened when someone crossed Padrino.The last time Leo tried to challenge him by refusing to give that speech, he disappeared for weeks.And when he finally came back, he had an injury and a story about some accident.I remember how worried I was when I couldn't reach him and how I asked so many questions. Questions that I never got answers to, and I stopped pestering not because I didn't care.But because I eventually understood the rules.There were things people like us were
Ryker's POVI woke up to my phone buzzing from incoming messages. The day was bright and mild sun filtered in from the windows.For a few seconds, I just stared at the ceiling, not really aware of where I was. My body felt heavy, but my mind felt strangely lighter.Then my phone vibrated again.I reached for it lazily and unlocked the screen.Several messages from a group chat, I rolled my eyes about to shut my phone off and get some more sleep when I saw it.One message.From Leo.My heart immediately started beating faster. Leo: Meet me in front of your dorm tonight. It’s really important.I read the message again.And again.A strange mixture of emotions settled inside my chest.Excitement.Fear.Confusion.Because what if this was it?What if the letter yesterday had been his final gift to me?What if this meeting was where he was going to finally tell me that we were done?I swallowed.The thought hurt more than I wanted to admit.But at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the s
Ryker's POVI tried calling Leo again before I finally stepped into my dorm.Again.The call rang until it went straight to voicemail.I stared at my phone screen, my fingers tightening around it. I had already called him twice, and both times there had been nothing.No answer.No message.Nothing.I stood outside the dorm door for a few seconds longer, my mind running in circles.What if paying my tuition was his way of saying goodbye?What if this was his grand farewell gift because he knew he couldn't stay?The thought made my chest ache.Because knowing Leo, that was exactly the kind of thing he would do. He would rather destroy himself quietly than look me in the eye and admit that he couldn't keep doing this.But this wasn't some small goodbye gift.This was my entire future.I
