Sage

I was pacing, so sick with worry that I couldn’t breathe.

I was so crazy to even do such a thing to Kaiden. Even if we were no longer talking, I was being cruel.

I am cruel.

I buried my head in my hands and shook them, I was fucked. My eyes widened when the door clicked open, and the professor stepped in.

I couldn’t get a read on his face so my heartbeat increased because I had no idea what was going on in his head.

He kept quiet and sat on the sofa, deep in thoughts. I couldn’t ask the question that was in my mind.

How is Kaiden?

I mean, did I even have the right to ask that?

I should have gone with him but I didn’t, yet I was more curious than a cat.

“Are you happy?” He asked.

My brows furrowed, “excuse me?”

“Are you fucking happy? He is in the hospital because of what you did!”

“Me? How is that my fault?” I tried to defend myself.

He chuckled, “How is it your fault? Are you fucking kidding me, Sage? You texted those people. You made them put Kaiden in the hospital.”

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Nothing can be done

    SageFuck.Fuck, fuck, fuck.That’s what I heard him mumbling under his breath as he scrambled to find his clothes. His movements were frantic, almost desperate, like he wanted to erase what had just happened.Tears burned at the back of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.Is that how much he regretted sleeping with me?Was I that terrible that he couldn’t entertain the idea of sleeping with me? I was so pathetic.It’s like I was forcing myself on him and even at that, he didn’t want me. Maybe it was time to count my losses and move on before I end up losing everything together.I shifted, trying to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my body. My muscles ached, my skin still tingling from his touch. I winced, biting my lip to keep from making a sound.The way he fucked me made me believe that it wasn’t out of want that he did it, he fucked me because he wanted to prove a point.Which he did.He was already dressed by the time I managed to push myself up on the bed. He wouldn’t

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Nothing beats the night

    SageBy the time he returned, I had pulled myself together.I had spent the entire afternoon pacing, replaying the morning’s argument in my head, preparing myself for whatever mood he might be in. But as soon as he walked through the door, my heart pounded just a little harder, my throat tightening with something I refused to name.It was fear by the way.I was afraid of him.He looked at me with suspicion, his gaze unreadable.I smiled at him like nothing was wrong. “Welcome back.”He hesitated for a second before nodding. “Hey.”I moved closer, hoping to bridge whatever distance had formed between us. “How was your day?”He eyed me carefully. “It was fine.” Then, after a pause, “Are you okay?”I nodded quickly. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”I didn’t give him a chance to press further. Before he could open his mouth again, I launched into a story about my day."You wouldn’t believe the sale I found today," I said, forcing a cheerful lilt into my voice. "I went to that little boutiq

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Gone man

    SageYes, I drugged him.I slipped the pills in his drink so that he would want me. They turned me into a villain and now, I must take what I want.I wanted the professor. I wanted him with every fiber of my being and every breath that I took. I had forgiven him for everything he had done to me and I was ready to build a future with him.Ready to bring him back to his senses when he so clearly hurt me. I had the silence I needed when he left this morning to think about what I wanted.What I wanted was for him to love me just like I loved him but I won’t get it when I am constantly fighting with him all the time.He was just angry about the Kaiden situation and I needed him to understand that I got him. Kaiden was under his care and got hurt, he had the right to be upset about it.I was doing this the wrong way when I should have listened to that voice inside of me, that villain voice that was itching to take over.I am not delusional, I was just finally taking what I wanted.He groan

    SageHe tapped the side of my face with his cock and my mouth parted instantly, he nudged his cock inside and my tongue instantly circled the tip.The taste of precum filled my senses as I licked it clean, his hips surged forward only slightly. The length of his cock went deeper into my mouth.I grabbed the side of his hips the second he grabbed my hair and tugged me forward, I deep throated him. My fingers dug into skin as tears sprang to my eyes. He withdrew and I gasped for breath, he repeated the process over and over again till I was crying.His fingers went under my chin and lifted them, prying my lips open. He thrust his cock deep into my throat till I was gagging continuously.His hips snapped so fast that I found it difficult to keep, his balls tightened but my cheeks were hurting so I pulled away before anything.He grabbed me immediately and turned me over so I was bending over the reading desk, he ripped off my towel while my hand reached for the lube in the drawer.

    KaidenI stared at the ceiling, my fingers curled into the thin hospital sheets, my body aching with every shallow breath. The bruises along my ribs throbbed in dull protest, and the cut above my brow still burned every time I moved too suddenly. But none of that compared to the fire simmering beneath my skin all caused by one person.Sage.I clenched my jaw. I still couldn’t believe it no, I didn’t want to believe it. He had sent those bastards after me. Had given them my location, knowing full well what would happen. He probably wanted to give me a taste of the beatings he took but sending them my location?Was he trying to kill me?The thought made my stomach churn, though I already knew the answer. No, he wouldn’t have gone that far. Sage was cruel, manipulative, but he wasn’t reckless. If he wanted me dead, I wouldn’t be here now, lying in this hospital bed with bruises instead of a bullet in my skull.That didn’t make it any better.I swallowed, my throat tight.And all because

    KaidenYou would think I would be slowed down due to my injuries but when you are running for your life, there is no limit to what you can do.I took the alleyways and just kept running till my breath got winded. I was exhausted and I was angry. It’s already morning and I had to find somewhere to go.Sage.He definitely told them where I was but how did he know where I was? I was still hurt from knowing his diabolical plan to get rid of me but I thought he would let it go by now seeing the state I was in the hospital.I was in no fucking state to fight anyone and I couldn’t even call Martin since he was in the process of investigating who is behind all of this.My ribs still ached from the beating, but it was nothing compared to the sound of my heart breaking every second.Sage had sent those thugs after me.I still couldn't wrap my head around it. I had always known he was possessive when it came to the professor, but this? It was calculated, ruthless. It made me wonder just how far

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Drowning in distractions

    KaidenAfter their little show of affection, I decided to leave before things got heated.The truth was that I left because I was beginning to get rock hard. It must be the drugs or a trauma response from what I have been through these few days because there was no way in hell that I was hard from that.If anything, I should be mad because Sage disregarded my confession and still went ahead to kiss someone else in front of me. Or was it the professor who completely ignored me like he hadn’t then confusing my head a lot these days.Seriously?When did things became a clusterfuck?I made the decision to go to the police to report this case. While Martin was doing his thing, it was taking a lot of time and I was getting hurt during that time. I couldn’t take it anymore.I stood at the counter, arms crossed, waiting for an officer to acknowledge me.A man in uniform finally walked over, a tired expression on his face. “Can I help you?”“Yeah,” I said, shifting slightly. “I need to file a

    Kaiden The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the dull pounding in my skull. My limbs felt heavy, like they were made of lead, and a strange numbness settled in my fingers. The second thing I noticed was that I couldn’t move. Blinking against the blur clouding my vision, I lifted my head slightly, only to feel resistance. My wrists were bound to the headboard of the hotel bed with what felt like, what the hell? his belt. I turned my head, and there he was. Ryan. The twink I had brought back with me was sitting on the edge of the bed, clutching his phone in trembling hands. His fingers were unsteady as he fumbled with the knot, his breath coming in uneven gasps. I could tell instantly, he wasn’t a professional at this. He was scared. He was probably paid off to do this when he wasn’t even okay with doing it. I would roll my eyes if I was capable of doing so. “What…” My throat was dry, my voice sluggish. “What the hell are you doing?” He flinched, his grip tig

  • 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. If you

    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
