All Chapters of Case Study: You (MxM Romance): Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

LUCASI’d always viewed life as unpredictable.Things had a knack of not going exactly how you wanted them.For example, when I was walking into class this morning, I expected another boring, but simple day.I had absolutely no idea that my entire life was about to change.As I looked toward the front of the lecture hall, I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing.Dark hair. Gray eyes. Black shirt beneath a charcoal blazer. A sharp, serious gaze.He looked nothing like he’d looked a week ago at the club. Or even when he was on a bed beneath me an hour later.He was currently standing behind the podium, looking calm and collected.Like he’d never once ended up following someone to a cheap hotel room after too much whiskey.Looking at him now, I expected to be hit with regret but instead, I felt strangely… victorious.It wasn’t just that the sex had been mind-blowing— although I wasn't going to be forgetting it any time soon— but that it’d been fun breaking him apart piece by piece.I’

ADRIANI pushed against him again, but he didn’t even let up an inch. “Mr. Carter…” “Do you know what I find the most insulting about that night?” he interrupted.

It was just me now.Just like it has been for most of my life.It was fine, though. Because this was exactly how I preferred it.Or at least… That was what I kept telling myself.I placed my briefcase on the table before loosening my tie. Everything looked exactly the way I’d left them this morning— neat, organized, spotless. Not a single dirty plate in the sink. Not a single cushion out of place.Some people found comfort in chaos, I found comfort in order. Because that was the only thing that was constant and predictable. The only thin
