The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend All through silence
SageI stared at the message on my phone, my thumb hovering over the screen like it weighed a hundred pounds.“Tick tock. You have a few hours left.”A few hours left for what, exactly? To stay alive? To make a choice that would save Kaiden? Or to betray the only man who ever claimed to care about me?I didn’t know what to do. Should I tell the professor about it? Could I even trust him enough to confide in him now? I dropped the phone on the nightstand like it had burned me, leaned back into my, and tried to regulate my breathing. But it was impossible. I was jumpy, fidgeting, my fingers twitching, my knee bouncing. Every sound outside made my heart lurch. We had gone back to the professor’s place because he said he couldn’t bear to be apart from me when things weren’t normal.Of course, Amir was guarding the door while I stayed in. I was so jumpy and scared of being alone but I didn’t dare tell them that. I was determined to keep it to myself till I felt like I could trust them bu
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend The price of trust
SageI sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers trembling as I stared at the door he’d just walked out of. My body was sore, and my throat dry, but none of that compared to the war going on in my head.Desmond. That was his name. The man who took me. Who told me stories I didn’t want to believe but couldn’t ignore. He said he’d give me time to think. That was the worst part of it. He wasn’t threatening me, not directly. He was giving me a choice. A twisted, impossible one.I could exchange the professor for Kaiden.“Think about it,” Desmond had said, his voice low, persuasive. “All I want is what’s fair. What’s just. The professor made his choice years ago. Now it’s your turn. Choose who deserves to pay. Him or Kaiden.”And then, without a word more, he’d taken me home.The car ride had been quiet. Desmond didn’t say a word. I didn’t either. I kept waiting for the twist, for the trap to snap. But none came. Instead, they pulled up in front of my house and left me at the gate like some
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend The enemy of my friend
SageThe first thing I noticed was the smell, like cheap perfume spilled over rot. It smelled really terrible, ugh! Then came the color. The room was pink. Not a soft, charming pink either, but loud, bubblegum pink, like someone had tried to make a brothel look like a dollhouse and failed spectacularly. I blinked against the cheap light fixture overhead, every flicker stabbing my skull.I was lying on a bed. My arms were heavy, my legs worse. My head… it wasn’t right. It felt like I’d been caught in a washing machine on spin cycle. My stomach twisted with every breath.“Ugh…” I groaned, raising a hand to my temple. I could barely sit up, and when I did, the whole room tilted like a carnival ride.My voice came out hoarse. “Where… the hell am I?”Footsteps. I hadn’t heard the door open, but I heard them now. Slow, deliberate steps on a hardwood floor. I looked up, blinking hard.A man stood in the doorway, silhouetted against the hall light. Tall. Broad-shouldered. His features were h
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend The ticking hour
RiverI hadn’t slept.The sunrise poured through my office window like a mockery, soft golden light slipping across scattered papers and coffee-stained folders. I didn’t look at it. My eyes were fixed on my phone, the last message I sent to Sage still hanging there unanswered.The silence hadn’t broken.By seven a.m., I was on my feet and pacing. I had already been to Sage’s apartment. His bed was untouched. No signs of return. No notes. Nothing.I returned to school, so determined to find out who the student was.I headed straight to the records department.The admin looked up from her desk with mild disinterest. “Can I help you, Professor River?”“I need information on a student,” I said, already placing a printed photo on the counter. “Blond, tall, was wearing a black hoodie last night. Name unknown. He left a party with one of my student, Sage Fleming. I need to know if he’s enrolled here.”She blinked at me, clearly startled by my tone, then reached for the photo. “Do you have a

RiverI wrinkled my nose as I stepped out of the car. The bass from the party thumped through the groundMy grip tightened around the steering wheel as I processed. Sage was missing, and Amir had failed in his one responsibility, to keep him safe.I approached the house, the music growing louder with each step. Amir stood near the entrance, his eyes scanning the crowd. As I reached him, he turned, relief washing over his face."Sir, I'm sorry. I—"I didn't let him finish. My fist connected with his jaw, sending him stumbling backward. The crowd near the entrance turned to look, their expressions a mix of shock and curiosity.I clocked him again, for good measure. If not for his contract, I would have torn him to shreds and return him to the company."You had one job, Amir. One." My voice was low. "And you failed."“I am sorry, sir.”“I don’t need you to be fucking sorry, I need you to start talking. What the fuck happened? You were supposed to be glued to his side.”He held his jaw,
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Shuttered off into darkness
SageAfterwards, I lay in silence, my pants were a tangled mess around my legs. The scent of sex lingered in the air. My ass was up in the air, for the man I once swore I’d never let close again. And yet, here we were caught in this exhausting cycle of lust and unresolved emotions.I knew he was long and I was left with the mess. “Are you okay?” Amir’s voice came.I closed my eyes to let the embarrassment wash away. I was scared to turn and look him in the eyes.Exactly what the professor wanted. To humiliate me in front of the bodyguard. I hated this.“I am fine, Amir. Can you give me a little space?”He said nothing and I heard the door slam shut. Encasing me in silence, embarrassment and the worst humiliation of all.I felt like a black hole that you can use and dump anytime you felt like. I felt used and I hated it with every fiber of my being.Was this the punishment I deserved for thinking the worse?I stared blankly at the wall, tracing cracks in the paint with my eyes as th
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Another missing thread
RiverI’d just finished reviewing the last of Silas reports when my phone vibrated on the desk. A message from Amir.Sage is leaving the house. Dressed casually. Alone.I leaned back in my chair, phone still in hand, gaze narrowing as I read the message again. A part of me tensed instinctively. Sage wasn’t the type to wander aimlessly, especially not at night. But he was young. Still nursing the wound Kaiden had left behind. Perhaps he just needed to breathe, to shake off the weight pressing against his ribs.I rubbed a hand over my jaw, then replied:Keep a healthy distance. Let him enjoy himself. But don’t lose him.There was no response. I didn’t need one. Amir knew what silence from me meant.Later, I left the office and returned home.I poured myself a drink, but I didn’t finish it. My mind was still tracing Sage’s path, playing every possibility like a film I couldn’t pause. By the time I went to bed, the ice in the glass had melted.Sleep never came easily, but that night, it
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Smokes and mirrors
RiverMy fingers trailed absently over the polished mahogany of my desk as I reviewed the paper in front of me. A list. Ten names. Each scrawled in barely legible cursive, the ink smudged in a few places. Richard had handed it over with a split lip and three broken ribs. That much pain ought to inspire honesty but liars were persistent, even under duress.I didn’t trust the list. I leaned back in my chair and glanced up at Silas who stood at attention near the bookshelf, arms crossed, silent but attentive.“Verify every single name,” I said coolly. “If one of these people turns out to be a dead end, I’ll make sure the client loses the other leg.”He nodded once. “How deep should I dig?”“As deep as you need to. I want addresses, employment, family ties, everything you can find.. And if any of them lead us closer to the distributor... don’t act yet. Just mark them.”He gave a grim smile. “Understood.”As he turned to leave, my phone buzzed once, silently, on the desk. I picked it up
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Man in a mission
SageI shook my head at first then tilted my chin, “no, I have nothing to say.”He chuckled again, the sound coming off as bitter. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Amir shifting uncomfortably.Yeah, I would be uncomfortable if I was witnessing a lover’s spat. Our eyes met and I hoped he could read the apology in my eyes for putting him in this position. “What the fuck are you looking at him for?” The professor barked.I turned my head sharply to meet his gaze, he was fucking livid.“N…nothing.”He stepped closer to me, his body language that of a recoiled snake, “nothing? You call that nothing?”“No, I was just thinking how uncomfortable it was for him to stand there and watch us.”“Oh you think so? Isn’t that what I paid him to do? Have you been buddying it up with the hired help?”My eyes widened a little, “no, I haven’t..”“Then why the hell do you care about what he thinks, Sage? You know you are pissing me the fuck off.”My eyes widened in horror when he started undoing his bel
