登入Chapter 44Let Me Take Care Of You The cubicle was engulfed in smoke as the almost scalding hot water streamed down Lucian's body. This was exactly how he loved his bath, with a little sting to the skin. His eyes were shut, savoring the sensation until he heard the glass slide to the side. His eyes flickered open to see that the bright bathroom lights were turned off. His bathroom was more of a dark theme with only a small window that was high up, which meant there was barely any light, even during the day. Artemis' lean frame stepped in and Lucian's eyes went wide.“What are you doing?! He gasped, turning off the shower immediately. Artemis seemed unfazed with how flustered the man was. He kept stepping forward, even as Lucian stepped back. The man's face and ears were red. He didn't even dare look down because he could already tell that Artemis was stark naked. The boy, however, didn't bother to show the same courtesy. His eyes shamelessly roamed down Lucian's body, taking in
Chapter 43A Sleep Disorder “All done.” Artemis dropped the pen, adding the last test sheet to the pile. From the corner of his eye, he could see Lucian passed out beside him. He turned to the man whose head was thrown back against the couch, hair sprawling on the chair as he slept in the awkward position. “And he promised he wouldn't pass out on me,” Artemis muttered, getting off the floor. He grabbed the throw pillows and arranged them into the size of an actual pillow, before moving Lucian's head carefully onto them. He walked to the kitchen to get himself a bottle of water from the fridge. “God, this sucks,” he muttered before uncapping the bottle. He gulped more than half of the bottle before returning to the living room. Since there was nothing to do, he looked through Lucian's presentation and it turned out to be pretty easy, so he began working to finish it up as well. By the time he was done with all three presentations, he stared at the ceiling blankly. What was he
Chapter 42A Bargain“Sucks for you, father but I'm gay. So you might as well perish every thought of having a grandchild.” Those words played in Artemis' mind. It was just at the tip of his tongue but he restrained himself. He didn't want to test Trevor, not when he knew what exactly the man was capable of.For now, he should focus on getting to Lucian and avoid all unnecessary drama. Besides, he couldn't have his father sticking his nose in his business. Artemis got on his bike and soon the engine roared to life. He drove at full speed, dashing through the streets until he finally got to Lucian's apartment.He took out his phone, thinking of texting Lucian to inform him. Yet as he clicked on the name, a feeling of nervousness washed through him. This was going be his first night with Lucian. He had so many expectations and he expected that Lucian had the same. Pocketing his phone, he walked to the door and rang the doorbell. “Who is it?” Lucian's tired voice caught Artemis a li
Chapter 42Sucks For You, I'm Gay“Please let me go, man. I promise you, I'll never step foot in K3 again,” the man pleaded. He was bloodied all over and covered in bruises, two black eyes, swollen cheeks and knocked out teeth. Artemis leaned against the way, gun resting against his chin as he wore a thoughtful expression.“True, but it's not like I can't just take your word for it, you know? Your boss will simply discard you and get someone else to replace you and continue bothering K3. Dying now shouldn't be a problem, it's the only choice you get to have, because you die either way." The man's eyes looked haunted. He knew Artemis was completely right, which was why he wanted to buy time and stall until the others arrived. He was very sure that they would deal with Artemis in no time and he would regain his boss's praise. “Please… spare me…” he pleaded. “I'll take everything I own and run away for good, I swear…”Artemis cocked his gun with a bored expression. “Well, I'm sorry I
Chapter 41The Transfer Student Melinda had everything packed up. Her bags, credit cards, everything to help with her transition to New York. Days ago, she got her transfer letter to Kingston College approved and was going to tell Artemis about it after they were back from shopping but he wouldn't give her the time of the day. And he blocked her as well. Even his father couldn't reach him to scold him properly, but Trevor assured her that it didn't matter. The wedding was going to be held whether Artemis liked it or not. She didn't like the idea of forcing him to marry her, of course, but she was confident that if he gave her a chance, she could make him fall in love with her before their engagement. School was going to be her best shot at winning his heart. After saying goodbye to her father, she was taken to the jet. The flight to New York was a little faster than she expected. Maybe because she slept during most of the ride. When the jet landed, Melinda stepped out in style,
Chapter 40The DealLucian thought he was going to have a pretty normal day. Especially since he agreed to a date with Artemis. He still didn't understand why he felt the need to indulge the boy. It had nothing to do with his paycheck either.As Lucian worked on his computer, his door flew open and someone burst in. Lucian looked up immediately to see that it was Shawn. The boy was covered in sweat, crouching over to rest his hands on his knees as he panted. Lucian could tell that something was wrong but he couldn't rush someone who could barely even breathe.“Prof-fessorrrr…. Artemis…. Court…” Shawn struggled to speak but his breath was just too heavy. On hearing Artemis, Lucian got off his desk. What trouble could Artemis have gotten himself into this time? He walked over to the breathless boy, hoping to help him calm down. “Artemis… bully…” Shawn tried again and this time Lucian got the hint. His jaw tightened. “Artemis is bullying someone again?” Lucian asked and Shawn nodde
