Bitter truth

Sage

The professor took me home, and I was still reeling from the way he had kissed me in front of Kaiden. His arm wrapped around my waist as he pulled me close to his body.

I felt his need for me and I hoped he understood my need.

It wasn’t just a kiss, I think it was a claim or a message passed to Kaiden to stay away from me.

It made my stomach twist in something dangerously close to satisfaction. Maybe things were okay between us after all. Maybe this was him proving that I mattered more.

After what happened between us, maybe he has accepted it. I grinned, there was no need for us to fight about it anymore.

I followed him inside, feeling a little lighter than I had in days. He had chosen me, hadn’t he?

I was already mentally preparing myself to take off my clothes the second we got comfortable.

But the moment we were alone, he turned to me with a calculating look in his eyes.

“What did Kaiden want from you?” He demanded.

The question caught me off guard. His voice was calm, but

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The truth hurts

    KaidenI woke up later after coming back home, my body was morning, my body heavy with exhaustion. The past few days had drained me in ways I hadn’t anticipated, and since I wasn’t working right now because of my injuries, I had nothing pressing to get out of bed for.I couldn’t even talk about how I felt when Sage subtly neglected me after I confessed to him. He was the whole reason I picked up that twink, to forget about him.I almost got in trouble and to think I want to continue pursuing him. I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with me. The kind of hold Sage has on me makes me worry sometimes.I laid there for a while, scrolling lazily through my phone, when a message came in.Sage: Where are you?I frowned, rereading the text. My first instinct was to ignore it, but after a moment of hesitation, I typed out my location and hit send.I wasn’t sure why he was texting me all of a sudden. After everything that had happened, the betrayal, the mixed signals, the professor’s possessive

    KaidenI didn’t want to hear it.I couldn’t hear it.The betrayal burned, eating away at everything I thought I felt for him.I squeezed my eyes shut. I did like Sage. I had been certain of that. But knowing what he had done… I didn’t know if I could just move past it.I turned to the professor. My voice was cold. “Was this the reason you brought me here?” I asked. “To get rid of me like this?”The professor’s lips curled into a smirk. “Would it have worked?”I didn’t answer.Because I honestly didn’t know.I didn’t want to know or believe what was happening here. My mind was still reeling from Sage’s confession. I had to imagine what the two of them had discussed to even bring me here. I was such a fool, I came here willingly while they had planned what they wanted from me.He had betrayed me.He had almost gotten me killed.And now, here he was, standing in front of me with tears in his eyes, trying to explain it all away.I was about to say something—something angry, something tha

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Takes three to tango

    SageI closed my eyes to wish away this dream. I wanted this to happen even though I was pretending. We had moved to the bedroom under the professor’s command. I wasn’t sure how Kaiden obediently did just as the professor asked but I was glad it happened.The professor was finally giving me an opportunity to prove myself and I sincerely hoped that Kaiden would calm down and listen. He still loved me. That’s why he was so hurt when I confessed to sending those people to his hotel room. They weren’t going to kill him just to rough him up a bit.I finally opened my eyes and it immediately locked into Kaiden’s glaring ones, he had a look of desire in his eyes that I was sure mirrored mine and I immediately wanted his hands on me, and I was about to voice my need when he sighed and bent down, capturing my lips with his. A satisfied shudder shook my body as his lips traced over mine before his tongue dipped inside to sample my mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down u

    Sage I nodded, and he slid his teeth up and down the column of my neck, his hand dipping under me to spread my legs apart. I held my breath and my belly tightened in response, dampness spreading between my legs. His fingers moved lower and brushed the juncture of my thighs and I whimpered at the simple contact. "Shhh." He whispered against my neck, teasing me with soft brushes of his fingertips against the back of me while continuing to torture my neck. I grabbed onto his shoulders for balance, and he used the heel of his hand to massage my rim with slow circles of his wrist. I felt my head swim and I cried out at the perfect pressure, but he simply hummed in what sounded like satisfaction before his fingers slid into me. The sudden fullness made me moan out in satisfaction and I dug my nails into his shoulders. Soft mewls falling from my lips. Kaiden bit my ear hard, pulling it with his teeth. It should have hurt, but instead, it felt like an attack on every erogenous zone i

    SageI woke to the quiet sound of movement. The sheets were warm, the morning sunlight streaming in through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. For a moment, I let myself sink into it, let my mind drift in the afterglow of the night before.We had gone from the sitting room to the bedroom, basking in each other’s glory and essence. It was the best night of my life, I had to admit. Being with the two of them at the same time made me feel like I was made whole. The pleasure was two times what I had expected and till now, I was still floating on cloud nine.I would love so many repeats on it.I heard the faint rustling of fabric and the click of a belt being fastened.I turned my head, still groggy, and saw Kaiden standing near the door. Fully dressed. His back was to me as he adjusted his jacket, his movements brisk, and purposeful.He was leaving?That realization hit me like a splash of cold water.After everything that happened last night, that wasn’t enough to convinc

    KaidenI unlocked the door to my condo, rubbing my temples as exhaustion settled deep in my bones. I didn’t get enough sleep last night due to what we were up to last night. I kept wondering if I had done the right thing by indulging in their crazy idea.I would like to say I did it for Sage but I know another part of me did it because I wanted it. I wish I didn’t because I ended up regretting every moment since I woke up, so much that I had to run away without facing the professor.I hadn’t even been back for a full minute when I noticed someone standing near my doorstep. The detective.I blinked, surprised. “Detective? What are you doing here?”He gave me a small smile, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. “I wanted to check on you. My place isn’t far from here, and after everything that happened, I figured you shouldn’t be alone.”I let out a breath, running a hand through my hair. “I appreciate it. Thank you for looking out for me.”He nodded, his gaze sharp as he studied

    SageI had no right to be jealous.That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw Kaiden sitting close to another man, the two of them exchanging teasing smiles over their drinks. The bar’s dim lighting did little to hide the way Kaiden leaned in, his lips quirking up in a rare, genuine smile. His body language was open, relaxed, like he was actually enjoying himself.I hated it because I knew that’s what he looked like whenever he was flirting with someone. I have seen it one, two, many times to count when he is putting on a show for his fans.And it infuriated me.I gripped my glass tighter, trying to tell myself that I was overreacting. That Kaiden was free to do whatever the hell he wanted. But no matter how much I tried to rationalize it, that burning feeling in my gut wouldn’t go away.So that’s why he left. All those things that he said didn’t matter, he was just in a hurry to see someone else.I had to admit, I was hurt and a little taken aback by the whole thing.

    KaidenMy eyes were dilated, I was sure. The thought of the professor fucking the attitude out of me was so promising that I found myself biting down on my lip. He looked at me and I just stared, both of us waiting for the next to make a move. I spied a look on Sage and I almost chuckled, he was eating this up. The sight of the two of us, arguing and oozing sexual tension made him so excited that it rubbed off on me. Okay, I had to admit. It was pretty exciting to be in the middle of their desire. I never thought I would be back here, then again I was never given a choice. I was pulled out of my thoughts when the professor offered his hand to me, I stared at it for a while. Knowing if I take that hand then I must have signed my fate. They would know that I wanted this. I took his hand and he led me out of the car. Sage locked the car and opened the door. The second we got inside, he kissed me. Sage jumped on me and started kissing me, his hands wound themselves around my neck an

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The silence between us

    SageI woke up with a tight knot sitting right in the middle of my chest. The apartment was quiet. No sign of Kaiden, and the sun had already climbed halfway through the sky.The sheets beside me were cold. He hadn’t come home last night.Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I wandered out into the living room, expecting maybe a note, maybe Kaiden sitting on the couch eating cereal out of the box like he did when he was too tired to pretend to be put together. But it wasn’t Kaiden I found.The professor sat there, hunched on the edge of the couch, elbows resting on his knees, fingers loosely interlocked. He didn’t even glance at me when I entered.“You’re up early,” I said cautiously, voice still raspy with sleep.His eyes lifted to me. They looked tired, more than tired. Hollow. “Did Kaiden come home last night?”I shook my head. “No. I thought he went to see you. He got your message, didn’t he?”His lips pressed into a line. “I went to his condo. He wasn’t there. I waited. His car was gone.

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The blue trick

    KaidenMy phone buzzed again.I glanced down at the screen through the strobing lights of the after-party. The text was from the professor. “Are you home?” Something about him checking up tugged at my heartstrings. My chest tightened and I wanted to go home even more.Being here was challenging for me. I wasn’t home. I was at the kind of party that used to thrill me. A rooftop venue in the city, neon lights flickering against polished glasses, expensive perfume clouding the air, and beautiful people, too many beautiful people. Some I recognized from the runway. Others from TV. All of them orbiting around free liquor and someone else’s fame.I would have been delighted to have all these people around me,But none of them looked like Sage.None of them carried themselves like the professor.I leaned against the balcony railing, letting the air hit my face. I didn’t belong here. Not really. Not tonight.Months ago, I would have been thrilled to be here but right now, I wanted to be hom

    KaidenThe clink of glassware and soft instrumental music floated through the private dining room, but I barely noticed any of it. My attention was locked on the man seated across from me, Desmond, the so-called sponsor, though I knew better now. He wasn’t just another businessman looking to capitalize on talent. He was the distributor. The puppeteer behind the chaos circling my life.Martin couldn’t stop talking. “You know, this whole thing… it’s a damn miracle. The sponsor paid for the new condo in full. Quietly. No credit checks, no delays. Even Sage’s outfit, hell, the professor’s tux too, he took care of it all. Who does that?”He kept saying all the things that I didn’t want to hear. Didn’t he know that I was terrified?I kept my gaze fixed on Desmond. He smiled faintly, swirling his wine like he had all the time in the world. I didn't trust that smile. It was too smooth, too practiced like everything about him.I was skeptical to be here even though I had no choice. I didn’t w

    KaidenWhen we got home, Sage was still trembling in my arms.I guided him gently to the living room couch and sat with him, wrapping the throw blanket from the armrest over his shoulders. He hadn't spoken much since we left the boutique. The only sounds were the occasional hitch in his breath and the way his fingers clutched the fabric of my shirt like he needed something solid to anchor him.He really was scared, I can’t imagine how terrified he must have been. Hearing that so close to him must have pushed him off the edge. I hated seeing him that way.“I’ve got you,” I murmured. “You’re safe now.”He leaned into me, his body slowly relaxing as he drew warmth from my presence.“Kaiden,” he whispered, eyes fluttering. “I don’t understand why this is happening. Why me?”“Because you matter,” I said. “More than you know. And I swear, whoever’s behind this won’t get close to you. Not while I’m breathing.”Eventually, his head dropped to my shoulder, and his breathing slowed. I held him

    SageIt was entirely unfair for someone like Amir to be real. Tall, lean, with chiseled features that looked like they belonged on a movie poster rather than in a security file, and a voice that dripped with smooth, practiced calm. He was the kind of handsome that made your thoughts scatter just a little if you looked at him for too long.And I was doing exactly that.“Mr. Amir, right?” I asked, extending a hand, hoping my voice didn’t tremble like my fingers did. “I’m Sage.”He nodded, his grip firm but not overbearing. “I know. It’s a pleasure.”He smiled and I don’t mean the empty kind people give when they’re on duty. It was warm. Polite. And it made my stomach flip in a way I hadn’t expected.But as he turned toward the room, I caught sight of Kaiden and the professor.Both of them were glaring.I blinked.Kaiden’s jaw was tight, eyes narrowed like he was assessing a threat he didn’t like the look of. The professor, arms crossed, stood with the energy of a man who’d already decid

    KaidenWhen Martin dropped me in front of the professor’s house. I barely waited for him to drive off before I dug out my phone. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I hit Bryan’s name.He was the only one who was making an attempt to help me right now. He answered on the second ring, his voice calm and clipped, like always.“Kaiden?”“Yeah, it’s me.” I moved to the far side of the room, away from the windows, and lowered my voice. “Something weird’s going on. I need to tell you about it.”“What kind of weird?” His tone sharpened immediately.I told him everything. The prepaid boutiques. The law firm. The condo being bought out. The way no one could or would tell me who was behind it. I could practically hear him frowning on the other end of the line.“You think it’s Sage?” he asked quietly.“No,” I said quickly, too quickly. “I don’t know. I mean—I don’t want to think that. And it’s not the professor either. I know that much. They would tell me if they are trying

    KaidenI stared at the silver-trimmed envelope resting on the counter between the professor and me like it was some kind of explosive. The award ceremony. My name was on the guest list, of course. It had to be. I was the damn honoree.“I have my own invite, thanks to my connections,” the professor said casually, leaning against the kitchen counter. He swirled his coffee slowly, watching the dark liquid spiral. “But I think Sage should go with you.”Sage, sitting cross-legged on the couch and peeling a tangerine, looked up with a sheepish smile. “Would that be okay with you?”I didn’t even think about it before I answered. “No.”Their expressions changed almost instantly, surprise flickered across the professor’s features and Sage’s smile faltered.“It’s enough that Sage’s already in the spotlight,” I said, trying to keep my voice even, my words reasonable. “With the way everyone’s been talking and taking photos, I don’t want to put him in harm’s way, more than I already have.

    Kaiden The clock on the bedside read 3:12 a.m. I rolled onto my side, confused by the soft glow seeping under the bedroom door. I blinked the sleep from my eyes, and when I looked over, Sage was still fast asleep beside me, his breathing steady and rhythmic. I reached out, touched his hair lightly, then slid out of bed. The hallway was silent except for the distant hum of the fridge and the occasional rustle of the wind brushing the windows. I padded barefoot across the wood floor, and as I neared the living room, the scent of whiskey hit me first. That, and the sound of papers being shuffled with irritation more than purpose. The soft overhead light in the corner cast a gold sheen across the professor’s back. He was hunched over the coffee table, glass of whiskey in one hand, papers spread out like an autopsy, calm chaos wrapped in tension. He didn’t look up when I entered. “You’re still awake?” I asked, keeping my voice low. “I have work to do,” he said, not looking at me. His

    KaidenI watched Sage’s chest rise and fall steadily, his breathing finally even and calm after a long, exhausting day. The faint hum of the heater filled the small apartment as the evening air drifted colder through the windows. He looked peaceful in sleep, peaceful in a way that didn’t match anything we’d been living through lately. It was a lie his body told, one I was grateful for, even if I knew it wouldn’t last. The last thing I needed was for him to keep worrying about the unknown.Today took a toll on him.I sat at the edge of the couch, elbows resting on my knees, hands folded, but my thoughts weren’t still. They kept drifting back to the question he asked earlier about whether we’d ever go back to how things were. And now I knew for certain: we couldn’t. Not with this storm closing in around us, not when every time I let my guard down, something tried to take Sage from me.I haven’t even figured out how to apologize to the professor, it took me a lot of thinking to realize
