That hit a chord.

"Malachi put you there. You've been miserable for most of your college life because of Malachi. Malachi, the same guy you just flirted with in there. This is the same guy that dumped you by leaving a box of your stuff on his front porch."

"I see, Klaus." Jude was definitely dwelling on his words.

"I'm telling you this to hurt you, Jud. You just have a tendency to ignore what's right in front of you with him. I don't want to see you get hurt again."

"I know."

"You can smile at whoever you want, Jud, including Malachi. Just don't fall for it again," he warned.

"He's not…" Jude stalled. "I'm not going to fall for him charming me. I'm not falling. I called him to let him go, but we're close again, and he was honest. It's nice to know that I mattered. That it wasn't that I was disposable to him. It's nice to know that he's still watching me. It doesn't mean I'm going to do anything about it."

"It looked like you were. I bet Malachi is thinking the same thing about it at t

    They sat in silence as a game of basketball played in the background. Sunlight poured in through the blinds and sliced sharply across their rumpled appearance. Jude massaged Jude's temples, and the dull throb of a hangover fell behind Jude's eyes."I think we should order in," Yon broke the silence."I abhor food," Klaus exhaled, folded over on the couch like a rag doll."You abhor tequila," Jude corrected.He looked utterly defeated. "I hate tequila and food," he proclaimed."I'm getting something," Yon persisted."What happened to his mood?" Klaus asked, rubbing his temples and wincing at the light."He got laid," Jude retorted.Klaus could muster a weak laugh. "Oh god, I think I kissed one of the girls from the bar. I'm not even fucking sure," Klaus confessed, looking ill about it."You did. It was graphic," Yon told him. "I'm having a chaser beer. Who wants one? Jud?" he asked Jude, pulling out a few from the mini fridge beside him."I'm okay, thanks." Jude's mind strayed. Jude st

    "He's a bad kisser. Wouldn't recommend," Chase replied.Jude playfully pushed him.Jude looked over at the table, seeing Yon laugh at them. Jude tried to scan for Malachi among them but did not see him. It was a little disappointing that Jude didn't know if he was jealous afterward, though, given how unremarkable the kiss with Chase was, Jude had his doubts.Soon after that, Jude had had enough of the continuous hail of shots and the body heat of individuals colliding with him as they danced, so Jude made his way to the terrace. The cool air was a relief. Jude leaned against the single vacant place on the railing and looked out over the city. The terrace too was crowded, but at least it was not as suffocating.Jude's eyes wandered until they landed on Malachi in the corner, leaning against a wall and smoking one of those electronic cigarettes. Jude didn't even think twice about it. Jude just walked over to him."I didn't know you smoked those." Jude attempted small talk.He seemed cau

    "Sorry," he called after her, as David laughed. "That is terrible. How do you ever do that politely?" he asked David, scratching the back of his neck."Not like that," said David, chuckling."Shit, this is so fucking awkward," complained Malachi, glancing around the room."Are you going to leave?" asked David.Malachi’s eyes were still scanning the crowd. “Not right now. Maybe it’ll get better.”The music was so loud, it was hard to listen…not that Jude was trying to. A girl pushed into Jude, and Jude apologized, the words barely audible over the pounding bass. David glanced back and noticed Jude, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise."I'll be destroyed at home worrying about them. At least here, I know it hasn't occurred yet," Malachi yelled back."Hi, Jude," David yelled.A flush crept up Jude's neck."Yeah, creepy. I know I'm being a creep," Malachi grumbled, still heading in the opposite direction, his shoulders slumping just a little.David glanced at Malachi and then back at Jud

    "Can't you just say hey back like a regular guy?"Chase Morgan"I don't know, King. Can you joke with me like a regular guy?"Why had Jude done this to himself?Me"Are you busy?"Chase Morgan"Is this a booty call? Aren't you in LA?"Me"Chase, I need to ask you something. I need you to be serious for a sec. Can you do that?"Chase Morgan"Sure, man. What's up?""Take us out at the next block," Malachi directed the driver, digging into his pocket to retrieve his money. He glanced at Jude and grinned as Jude's phone started vibrating for a third time.Chase Morgan"Don't leave me hanging after you got me to promise to be serious. You know it doesn't come naturally to me.""Right here is fine," Malachi said to the driver as the car stopped. He handed the driver the fare and slammed open the door.Jude trailed behind him.Me"Do you ever do molly?"Jude texted and watched Malachi."This way," he said, grabbing Jude's hand and pushing Jude through a group.Jude's phone rang again. Chase

    "I know, I'm out of time. And anyway, I don't want to see the aftermath of the fashion show," Holly said and laughed when Malachi threw something at her. "Bye, boys. Don't get too hung up on all the sex." She grabbed a couple of bags and blew a kiss in their direction before she walked away.Jude looked at Malachi."She's my best friend. Of course, I told her we had sex," he said nonchalantly.Holly laughed before the doors to the elevator closed."Malachi," Jude scolded."I didn't imply it was your first time, only ours. She actually thought it had happened years ago. It isn't a big thing," Malachi said defensively.Jude reasoned that did make it slightly better."So you're going to wear them?" He wagged his eyebrows at Jude and chewed on his lip."You're lucky you're cute," Jude grumbled, standing up from the couch."Aw, this is the first time you've ever said anything remotely like that to me."Jude cocked an eyebrow and he snorted back. Jude walked towards the bedroom."Where are

    Jude exhaled in relief."Thirty seconds," Malachi went on, "then I want you to pull out, okay? I'm going to get on top of you."Jude's eyebrows shot up. "Are you sure?""I'm sure." Malachi licked his lip and leaned up to kiss Jude. "That was the hardest part. I'm fine, I promise," he said to Jude.They stayed like that, kissing slowly until he pushed back against Jude's shoulders. Jude moved back, and they both groaned at the loss of contact. Jude rolled onto his side, supporting Jude's back on the pillows, and Malachi rode Jude, sitting on Jude's hips. He didn't sit, simply knelt over Jude, looking down. He looked amazing—rumpled hair, rosy face, lips glistening."Ready?"Jude couldn't tear his eyes away.Put your hands on my hips," he ordered.Jude placed them there, Jude's fingers tracing the lines of his skin. He smiled, reached behind him, and he grabbed Jude, holding Jude in place as he began to settle on top of Jude. He did not slow. Jude closed his eyes and let himself fall on
