LEON'S POV

The library was my favourite sanctuary.

As usual, it was speckled with dust motes and muffled silence. It was the only place where I could truly breathe.

I sat in my usual secluded corner at the back, the screen of my laptop casting a pale, bluish glow against my face as my fingers rapidly danced over the keyboard.

I was deep in the vibe of the story, in the way the words flowed, the descriptions of skin and desire
things that I’d never actually dared to speak aloud.

    DAMIAN'S POVMy words lodged in my throat, unable to let me bring them out.Then I shrugged my shoulders and sighed as I sat down.“Again, I told you, I simply approached him because I was curious.”“Uh huh,” Dakota cooed, nodding her head slowly even though I could see the disbelief shining in her round, hazel eyes.“What?” I blurted out.And she exhaled a laugh that made a few strands of her bangs flutter upwards.“Nothing,” she shook her head. “Just trying to digest the bullshit you're feeding me right now, Damian.”I threw my hands up in frustration as I grunted, dang she still knew how to piss me off.She was always like that even when we were children.“Seriously I feel like I'm being rage-baited by you, Dakota.”“You wish,” she sneered, eyeing me with mild disdain. “Anyways, back to what you were saying. You say you only talked to this guy because you were curious?”I rolled my lips, staring off into the distance as I inwardly debated whether to keep talking and responding to h

    DAMIAN'S POV“Fuck!” I cussed, tapping the screen of my tablet harder just before I was completely eliminated from the game.“Fuck it!” I snapped again, barely able to hold back from tossing the still glowing gadget.On a whim, I swiped off the tab and opened the reading app I'd downloaded three days ago.Then I clicked it open, swiped until I saw what I was looking for, then I tapped and began to read.I felt the stark white light of the document on my face, the cursor blinking at me like a taunting heartbeat. I had already read it three times now. Once for shock, once for analysis, and a third time because, much to my growing annoyance, I couldn't seem to stop thinking about the story.“Okay, spill. You’re being weird, Damian and it's making me uncomfortable watching you, ” Dakota taunted, tossing a throw pillow at me from the other end of the couch.“Stop it, Dakota,” I replied grimly. “Also you don't have to watch me, just leave or close your eyes.”“Oh please,” Dakota rolled her

things that I’d never actually dared to speak aloud.“I knew I'd find you here.”The voice came out of nowhere just as a shadow stretched across my keyboard.I slammed the lid of my laptop shut so fast my heart skipped a beat, my blood turning to ice. I looked up, prepared to stammer out some excuse about homework or notes, only to find Damian standing there.He wasn't wearing his usual unreadable expression, and he wasn't surrounded by his group of tittering minions. He also looked different in the soft, amber light of the library, more human, almost approachabl

  • Tamed By The Campus Bad Boy   Chapter 72

    LEON'S POVI didn't move.Not back, not forward, just stood in my doorway in yesterday's clothes at seven thirty in the morning and looked at Reid Calloway on my porch and breathed.The manila envelope was under his left arm, casual, like he'd just picked up mail on his way over. His expression was exactly the same as the library—patient, warm enough to read as friendly if you didn't know what you were looking at.My phone was upstairs.Aaron was across town.It was just me and a door I'd already opened and a person I hadn't invited here."How do you know where I live," I said. My voice came out even, which surprised me slightly."You'd be amazed what's publicly available," Reid said. "Voter registration. Utility records. Nothing nefarious." He said *nefarious* like it was a word he found slightly amusing. "Can I come in?""No."He nodded, unsurprised. "Okay. We can do this out here." He shifted the envelope from under his arm, held it at his side but didn't open it. "I want you to un

    LEON'S POVNobody answered or at least not immediately.Which was fine. Some questions needed a moment before anyone should try to answer them, and what do we do about a person who has two years of private letters and a burner phone collection and apparently nothing but time* was one of those questions.I wrapped both hands around my coffee cup and thought.Aaron was doing the same—I could see it, the inward focus, the way he went quiet when he was actually working through something rather than performing composure. Marlowe was watching both of us with the patience of someone who'd learned to wait."What's in the letters that he'd actually use," I said finally. "Specifically. Not everything—just the thing he'd lead with."Marlowe looked at the table for a moment. "There's a section—" he stopped, recalibrated. "About six months in. I was in a bad place. Not—" he glanced at me briefly, then Aaron, "—not dangerous. Just low. The kind of low that's hard to write about without it sounding

    LEON'S POVI sat in my driveway for a long time.The photograph glowed on my screen—my car, Aaron's house, the timestamp, all of it—and I made myself breathe through the first wave of it, the cold spike of violation that came with understanding someone had been standing on that street in the dark watching a house and the person I cared about was inside it.Then I forwarded it to Aaron.No explanation. Just the image.His response came in under two minutes, which meant he'd been awake, probably still in the kitchen with Marlowe and the leftover pasta, and had looked at his phone and understood immediately.**Aaron:** *I see it.***Aaron:** *Are you home?***Leon:** *Just pulled in.***Aaron:** *Good. Stay there. Don't go back out tonight.***Leon:** *I wasn't planning to.***Aaron:** *Lock your doors.***Leon:** *Aaron.***Aaron:** *I know. I know, it's Reid, not—I know. Lock them anyway.*I locked them. Not because I was scared exactly, or not only because of that, but because it was

    AARON'S POVThe bell above the door of the vintage record shop chimed, a cheery, slightly annoying sound that did nothing to cut through the suffocating weight of the air I’d brought in with me.Marcus didn’t look up from behind the counter, his fingers dancing over a stack of vinyl sleeves, his ex

    LEON'S POVSuddenly, someone aggressively rattled the bathroom doorknob from the hallway, knocking loudly.“Hey! Someone in there? Hurry up!”Damian didn't even hesitate.With a low growl, he grabbed my hips and shoved me hard against the wooden door. The impact made me gasp, but he immediately cov

    LEON'S POVThe noise of the bass vibrated right through the soles of my shoes, a steady, aggressive thud that made the wooden floorboards beneath us shudder.Someone’s parents had a ridiculously massive house, and tonight, half the high school was packed into it, overflowing from the living room ou

    AARON'S POVThe air in the cafeteria was a little more suffocating, and it had everything to do with the twink sitting next to me.The smell of floor wax and stale grease was still thick in the air, but all I could smell was Leon’s cheap cologne and the faint, sweet scent of his desperation.He was
