Chapter 17: Avoiding Night’s P.O.V “We need to finish up on the project together this time.” I reminded my two best friends as we sat on the front stairs of our faculty, discussing who was taking responsibility for which part of the project. “This isn’t like high school, so don’t even dare expect one of us to complete the job alone and then take credit for the rest!” Trey immediately put his hands up in surrender, giving us a sheepish smile as he nodded in agreement. “I promise to do the best I can.” That was more than what I had expected from him, however, when I turned to face Landon…it was to find him spacing out once again, just like he had been this entire week. “Landon? Landon!” I snapped at him, startling him into snapping out of his trance. “Huh?” He looked around at me and Trey like he was seeing us for the first time. “What did you just say?” “Damnit, Landon!” Trey snapped in impatience. “You want us to go over the whole thing once again? What the hell is wrong with y
Chapter 18: An Unforgettable One Night Stand Part 1Landon’s P.O.VOne week ago…“Fucking bastards!” I heard the guy yell as he fled from the washroom, leaving us all behind as he uttered a stream of curses under his breath.I looked back at Night, who I had helped get off the floor in the meantime as Kai beat the other man to a pulp.Of course I recognized that prick. There was no way I would forget that face easily. He was Night’s ex from high school that all of us had warned him against but Night hadn't listened…until it had been too late.But I realized that now wasn’t the time to remind Night of exactly what kind of a fuck up he was because he seemed to be in enough trouble already as he wiped away blood from the corner of his lips.“You okay?” I asked him quietly, trying not to get anyone else’s attention because the level of testosterone in here seemed pretty high already.Night barely nodded his head before Kai grabbed his hand and dragged him away and out of the washroom, lea
Chapter 19: An Unforgettable One Night Stand Part 2 Landon’s P.O.V Devon let out a low groan, almost like a purr of a tiger as he brought our faces even closer. The kiss was everything I had ever wanted and more. His lips were soft yet rough as they moved on top of mine and it wasn’t long before I felt his free hand reach for the buckle of my belt, undoing the binds and unbuckling it before he moved on to pull down the zipper of my pants. His hand went into my pants and he pulled down my boxers impatiently, freeing me from the binds of the clothing as he found exactly what he was looking for. He didn’t waste any more time. His large, warm hand wrapped around the base of my shaft and then he began to pump it slowly, applying just enough pressure that it made me gasp into the kiss, allowing him to thrust his tongue into my mouth. His tongue intertwined with mine, fighting for dominance as he tasted every corner of my mouth. He tasted like alcohol and something savory with a hint of
Chapter 20: Eyes on YouKai’s P.O.VDevon, Cole and I once again found ourselves in that same bar where I had met Night that first time, sneaking off to the men’s room to fuck some random guy.Even the memories of that first night made goosebumps rise on my skin.Picking up the glass of whiskey from the table, I downed the entire glass in one go, trying to push back those memories to the back of my mind.“Easy there.” Devon gave me a look over the rim of his own glass. “I’m not carrying you back home if you get drunk tonight.”“I’m not drunk.” I protested, cursing myself internally when I heard my voice slur a bit.“Sure you aren’t.” Cole gave me a sarcastic look before rolling his eyes and focusing on Devon. “Remind me again, why did Josh bail on us this time?”“Something about his cousin’s birthday party?” Devon scoffed. “If I don’t get an invite to his next family event, I’m calling him out for his bull big time. Since when is he such a family guy? Every time we call him to hang ou
Chapter 21: Drunken MayhemKai’s P.O.V“Excuse me.”I let go of Erica and began moving away from the dancefloor, my mood considerably sour, however, she held onto me tightly, not letting go.“Come on…are you seriously going to walk away?” She snapped. “Just like that?”I looked back at the table to find Landon sitting alone and drinking, before Devon joined him at the table sans the women who had been hanging off of his arms. I didn’t know when he spotted the two of them, but thankfully, Cole was nowhere to be seen, which I could take as a good sign…However, another person who appeared to be MIA was Night…and that male partner of his…I took a swig of my drink, every possible kind of scenarios playing out in my mind at that very moment.It could mean they had just gone to the men’s room, right? It’s not like Night was going to hookup with every possible guy he saw in a bar…right?Fucking hell!I hated this! I hated that my mind was racing with all the worst kind of scenarios and what
Chapter 22: IdentityNight’s P.O.VI grit my teeth as the pain blinded me for a few moments, but I didn’t let go of him.My hands were on his back, clutching onto him just as tightly as he clutched onto my shirt, his hands shaking as he further tightened his white-knuckled grip.But then I felt his jaw loosen from my shoulder…slowing letting go of me as his grip on my shirt loosened as well.The rain pelted down on us mercilessly and the coolness of the water helped relieve some of the pain from my shoulder even though I tried to keep myself from making a noise.Kai’s head fell onto my shoulders in defeat, the fight leaving his body as his hands simply came to rest on my waist, his thumbs hooking onto the loops on my belt to keep them from falling to his side limply. His breath came in pants and he refused to look at me…but somehow I felt like his anger was dissipating.Maybe it was the slight tremble of his shoulders…or the way his jaw was still clenched…but I could tell that he wasn
Chapter 23: Hot and ColdKai’s P.O.V “Sleep with me.” I repeated, running a hand through my hair in frustration.“Please, for the love of god, do not tell me that you just thought sleeping with me once would get this out of your system and you’ll go back to being with as many women as you fucking want!” He snapped at me, finally losing his temper. “Hell, Kai! Get yourself together! Go to sleep before your drunken ass says something stupid again and I’m forced to punch you in that pretty face of yours!”“I’m not saying this because I’m drunk!” I hissed. “What if I really want this?”“Yeah? How about you tell me that tomorrow morning, when you’re sober and thinking clearly once again” He spoke through gritted teeth. “Oh wait…you wouldn’t even be here tomorrow morning!”My god, this was really getting on my nerves!What the fuck was even wrong with me? Why had I even followed Night here?“I…I don’t know, Night!” I leaned back against the window; feeling drained all of a sudden. “I serio
Chapter 24: FearsKai’s P.O.V“One month?” Cole raised his eyebrows at me as I told him about Friday night.It was Sunday morning and neither Cole nor I, had anywhere to be.Night on the other hand, had gone off to his parent’s, to spend the day with his folks. I hadn't asked much as he left in the morning, because he looked reluctant to go back home.I never asked him about his family, but from the looks of it, there was certainly some kind of trouble.“One month.” I repeated, nodding my head at Cole’s surprised expression.“I’m surprised he even agreed to such a stupid proposition.” Cole shook his head, stuffing a bunch of French fries into his mouth. “Especially after the shit you’re putting him through.”“Cole…” I narrowed my eyes at my best friend.“What?” He frowned. “I’m telling you the truth and that too, quite nicely. You won’t get that from someone else. They’d just punch you in the face and be done with it!”“Wow…thanks a lot man! Just the kind of confidence I needed.” I ro
