Jeremy pov:
I pulled Oliver into my car, and everyone around us fell silent. Steve and a few other students watched us with a mix of curiosity and concern.
I wasn't mad at either of them, but at myself for causing more fight between the brothers. Although I despised Steve for what he did to me, I knew it was my problem to deal with. Oliver, on the other hand, shouldn't have said what he did to his brother.
Despite my best efforts to bring them closer, I always seemed to fail. And now, seeing them fight over me, I was starting to lose my mind.
As we sat in my room, Oliver was visibly upset. He hadn't said a word to me since I slapped him, and even during the drive home, he was quiet. I could tell he was still angry that his friend had taken the bully's side, but he shouldn't have said Steve didn't deserve to live. That was a harsh thing to say, and I needed to find a way to make thin
Jeremy pov:*Next day*It's gym class today and I'm feeling a mix of emotions. I used to dread coming here because of Steve. But Oliver is in the class, things are a little better.Steve's bullying used to be the worst part of my day, but now it's the bickering between Steve and Oliver.Even though I've tried to give Steve a second chance, I still can't stand him. It's hard to forget what he did to me, and the bullies still tease and make fun of me about the video. But I don't let it get me down for too long. I feel sad about it, sure, but I don't want to dwell on it and let it control my life.The coach's announcement startled me, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Today we're doing a relay race! Get ready and check your partner in the book," he yelled.I rushed to the book and started flipping through its pages, hoping and praying that I wouldn't be pair
Steve pov:"I can't resist kissing you, my baby boy. And I don't think I want to." With a sly smile, I whispered into his ear.I gazed down at his face, his body sprawled beneath me. My eyes searched for answers, his pupils were shaking with confusion. "Steve..." he whispered, trying to say something.I leaned in closer, my breath hot on his skin. "Tell me, Jer. Do you want me to kiss you?" I teased, watching as he slowly nodded his head."Very well," I said, leaning in even closer. "With your mouth, yes or no?" His answer was barely a whisper, but the desire in his eyes was unmistakable. "Yes."I couldn't resist moving closer to him, feeling the heat of his body against mine. His lips were an irresistible temptation, so soft and inviting. Slowly, I let my hands wander down his body, lifting his shirt to reveal his toned stomach. My fingers traced his abs, feeling the muscles beneath my touch. I could feel his excitement building. I pressed my lips firmly against his, seeking permi
Steve pov:The blood in my veins boiled as I stepped forward, my voice shaking with fury."How dare you hurt my brother," I roared at the group of bullies.The crowd around us fell silent, their eyes locked on us as they recorded the scene on their phones.My fist connected with a bully's face in a satisfying thud, sending a jolt of energy through my arm.Another bully appeared and blocked my way, trying to stop me from hitting. I felt a wave of anger surge through me and I couldn't help but lash out.I started hitting him with all my might, releasing all the pent-up frustration in me. Blow after blow landed on his face, but he didn't back down.Just as I was about to deliver the final blow, Luca intervened and shouted, "Steve, stop!"His voice brought me back to my senses and I realized that I
Jeremy pov:As Steve left the room, my mind was overwhelmed with thoughts of his gentle touch and the softness of his lips on mine. I lay in bed, tossing and turning, trying to rid myself of these distracting thoughts. Not in the mood to attend classes, I decided to skip and headed home. Upon texting Oliver, I received no reply, and when I called, his phone was switched off. The anxiety began to build up inside me, but I tried to remain composed.Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell interrupted my thoughts. Rushing down the stairs, I eagerly opened the door, hoping to see Oliver. To my surprise, it was Steve and Maggie who stood at the entrance.Although I felt a tinge of disappointment, my spirits lifted as I saw Maggie. Without hesitation, she ran into my arms and gave me a tight embrace. We laughed and spun around in joy until finally, I let her go. Looking up, I caught Steve's gaze, and his smile warmed my heart.I couldn't believe that Maggi was finally here, after all thes
Oliver pov:"I can't believe you hurt Jeremy!" I shouted at the group of men standing before me, my anger blazing hot.They cowered before me, heads bowed in submission.It was a heady feeling, knowing that even though these men were older and stronger than me, they were afraid of me.After all, I owned them now, Sebastian had sold them to me, and their lives were in my hands."You should have known better," I said, my voice cold and commanding."Jeremy is my love, my everything. How could you not recognize him?""We're sorry, master," one of them stammered, groveling at my feet."You all know the deal. Sebastian sold you to me, and now you belong to me. Your lives are mine to do with as I please."The men fell to the ground, begging for mercy. It was a satisfying sight, watching
Third person pov:"You've got to be kidding me!" Jeremy exclaimed, unable to believe what he was hearing.Steve stood in shock, feeling his jaw drop as he tried to make sense of the reason why the most influential mafia leader in Russia would want to cause harm to him.He couldn't fathom why someone at such a level of power would take an interest in him. His mind raced as he tried to piece together any possible reason for ending up on the wrong side of this dangerous man.The weight of the situation bore down on him as he struggled to recall any actions or words that might have led to this mess."I don't understand, Maggie. How could I have possibly gotten on the bad side of the Russian mafia king when he doesn't even know I exist?" Steve asked, frustration evident in his voice.Maggie shook her head, equally puzzled."I'm try
Jeremy pov:I was sound asleep when the alarm went off, piercing through my dreams. I groggily stretched my arms before getting out of bed and heading straight to the shower.After a refreshing bath, I dressed up and styled my hair to perfection, admiring myself in the mirror with a goofy grin.As I hurried down the stairs, I quickly fixed myself a toast for breakfast. Anticipation gripped me since it was the day Steve would finally be back at school after a two-week absence.I missed him terribly, and the school felt empty without him. The bullying had gotten worse in his absence, but thankfully, Luca had stepped up to protect me.I knew Steve had asked him to look out for me, and I was grateful for it. Luca apologized for his past behavior and promised to bring me my favorite novel as a peace offering.Maggie was also with us in school, and she
Jeremy pov:We decided to go skating, and as soon as we got there, I started to feel nervous.I didn't want to spoil the date by backing out, so I put on a brave face and decided to give it a try.Steve was super excited about skating, so I couldn't say no to him. He bought us skate shoes, and we found a bench to put them on. But when I tried to tie my laces, I just couldn't get them right.I must have looked pretty silly struggling like that because Steve started to chuckle at me. I was so embarrassed, and I gave him my best glare."Let me help," he said, bending down to tie my laces.I was taken aback by his gesture, and I felt a small smile creeping onto my face.I have always thought of him as a bad boy, but he was turning out to be a real gentleman.As he stood up, he offered me his hand and I couldn'
