Teach Me Bad - 17. Wed, Thurs: Kayden and Trent

Kayden snuck peeks at Trent from the corner of his eye as he triple checked the last answer on his algebra test. Trent was still in a bad mood; Kayden could see it all over his face.

They’d tried to study in the cafeteria for a bit, but Trent had been too antsy to pay attention. Kayden was worried how he’d perform, and he glanced at the other boy’s paper out of concern.

Trent was only halfway done, and he sat with his chin in his hand, and a scowl on his lips. He tapped his pencil against his paper, his eyes narrowed as he thought. He looked like he was struggling, and Kayden wished he could help him.

“When you’re finished with your tests, please bring them to the front of the room,” Ethan said from his desk, giving Kayden a pointed look, and Kayden pushed his chair back with a sigh and collected his things.

“I’ll wait for you outside,” he whispered to Trent.

“Yup,” Trent grunted, not looking up, and Kayden slid around him and exited the aisle.

Ethan gave Kayden a look when he stopped in front of him. “I’m surprised you weren’t the first to finish.”

Kayden ducked his head. “I was double checking my answers.” He’d tried to take his time, knowing Trent would take the majority of class to finish, but Ethan had just ruined his plans. “I’m sorry,” he said.

“Mmhmm.” Ethan took his paper without expression.

“Er…thank you,” Kayden said guiltily.

“Have a nice day, Kayden,” Ethan said shortly, and Kayden hurried from the room with a flush on his cheeks.

Outside in the inner quad, he found a seat on one of the stone benches and pulled his bag up beside him. He angled himself toward the math building and waited anxiously for Trent to appear.

Kayden was wearing the fitted tee and the boots Diana had given him the night before, but the khakis were his own. Nobody had noticed the subtle change in attire, but Kayden was uncomfortable with his arms showing. Subconsciously, he pulled his sleeves down as he watched students trickle from the building.

Long minutes passed as he swung his legs below him. He just wished he’d been able to stay at Trent’s side. He was so worried about him. He knew the thing with Ivy had really rattled him up, and he hoped it wouldn’t affect his grades.

Suddenly, Trent stalked out of the math building. Kayden slid off his seat and rushed across the quad to meet him.

“Hi, Trent.”

“Hey,” Trent grumbled, shrugging his bag over his shoulder. “We don’t have any extra time to screw around. That test took me forever.”

“How did you do?” Kayden asked. “The last question on the back was extra challenging. Even for me.”

“I doubt that,” Trent sneered. “You showed me a couple examples exactly like it last week. I knew what I was doing. It just took me a while.”

“Oh,” Kayden said. “I guess we did go over a lot of different examples.”

Trent tapped his temple. “And I remembered everything.”

Kayden beamed at him. “I’m so glad.”

Trent smiled back, but it didn’t reach his eyes. He threw an arm around Kayden’s shoulders, then drew him down the covered walkway. “Come on. I’ll walk you to front campus.”

Cho was picking Kayden, Ian, and Audrey up in the small parking lot just beyond the Oval. Kayden was a little disappointed Trent had remembered; he wouldn’t have minded slipping away to mess around in the truck for a while, but it was just minutes until two. Ian and Audrey would be heading to the parking lot now, and Kayden knew better than to keep them waiting unduly.

“I’m going to Ivy’s dorm after this,” Trent said as they started walking. “I have to find out what she’s going to do with that video of us.”

Kayden looked up at him pleadingly. “Don’t go by yourself, take Mitch with you, at least.”

“That’d get me nowhere, Kayden,” Trent snorted. “She wants to talk to me in private. She’s been saying that since she came back.”

Kayden pouted extravagantly.

“I’m not going to fuck her, if that’s what you think,” Trent grumbled. “But I need to delete that video. And I have to figure out how.”

“You don’t need to delete it,” Kayden said in a little voice, and Trent scowled down at him. “I mean…I’m afraid what will happen when my dad finds out, but so what if everyone else knows?”

Trent’s arm banded around him stiffly. “My dad isn’t going to be happy either. Not that I care, but…”

“Then why is it important?” Kayden asked. “Are you really that embarrassed of me?”

Trent sighed deeply, then kissed Kayden on the top of his head. “No.”

“Then maybe we should let her release it and see what happens.”

“I can’t believe your saying that.” Trent shook his head. “After all your bullshit arguing about moving in with me.”

“Well, maybe I’ll have no choice after this,” Kayden said, and his heart did a little backflip at the thought. “I don’t want to tell my dad, but if you have to give your body to keep it a secret, then I’m not interested.”

“Me neither,” Trent said with a frown.

“So, will you take Mitch with you?”

“No,” Trent said, and Kayden huffed with frustration. “But I’m also not going to sleep with her. Jesus, Kayden, how little faith do you have in me?”

Kayden pouted again. He didn’t want to say.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” Trent scowled, then dropped his arm.

Kayden’s shoulders felt cold in Trent’s absence and his pout magnified tenfold. “Could you text me at least? When you leave her dorm?”

“Of course,” Trent said firmly. “I always text you after class.”

Kayden wasn’t happy about it, but he nodded and decided to let it go. “One more test next week, then we can relax until finals.”

“Yeah. I was planning on going over those psych notes you sent me last night. It looked like some really comprehensive shit.”

“It’s everything on the syllabus for the chapter on relationships. It’s a lot of interesting material.”

“I bet,” Trent said, then his voice deepened. “Well, I’ve got a test coming up in Conflict Management, too, so I’d better go to the study group tonight if I want any chance at passing.”

“That’s a good idea.”

A trio of bicyclists rode past as they started across the wide, open pavilion of the main quad. Front campus was busy at this hour. Small groups of students studied under the trees, and people walked in pairs, talking, and holding hands. Trent put his arm around Kayden’s shoulders again as they reached the stairs down to the Oval.

“We’re skipping class again tomorrow, remember?” Trent asked. “You promised. Since I’m doing all this studying on my own and everything.”

“We really shouldn’t, but it’s another review day,” Kayden said. “I suppose we could go to your place, even if it means I have to try on more clothes from your mom.”

“No,” Trent said. “I’ll sneak you in through the garage, so we don’t have to fuck with her.”

“Your so mean. Your mom’s nice,” Kayden laughed. “I wish my mom would buy me a whole new wardrobe.”

“That’d be a total nightmare. Your mom’s fashion sense is about as bad as yours,” Trent laughed. “Does she even wear makeup?”

“No,” Kayden said softly, a little hurt. “And she doesn’t need any.”

“She could use a little eye makeup,” Trent said. “And I’ve only seen her like twice, but she was wearing white both times. Boring.”

Kayden frowned consideringly. Cho did like to wear a lot of white.

“You look nice today,” Trent said suddenly. “I noticed earlier, but I forgot to say something. You’re wearing your new boots.”

“Yeah.” Kayden blushed a little and looked down at his feet. “They’re really comfortable.”

“And stylish. Better than those ugly sneakers you were wearing before.”

“See,” Kayden said. “And it’s all because of your mom. She’s the best.”

“You only like her because she played dress-up with you.”

“So?”

“So, she’s getting on my nerves,” Trent said sharply. “She never leaves us alone. She’s constantly watching TV in our living room, and she judges us for leaving messes and whines when we stay up late. I can’t stand her!”

“She’s just being a mom,” Kayden laughed. “What’s going on with her arm?”

“She has a follow-up visit on Friday, but the cast won’t come off for a couple weeks.”

“It doesn’t seem to hinder her too much,” Kayden said lightly.

“She’s had other injuries before,” Trent said. “This is nothing. Chase fractured her ankle once, shoving her around and shit. She was on crutches for six weeks.”

Kayden’s expression fell. “Oh, that’s horrible.”

“Yeah…” Trent sighed and looked toward the parking lot just a few paces away. “That was years ago though. He hasn’t broken a bone in a long time.”

Kayden looked ahead as well. They’d taken the path across front campus much too quickly, and he could see his mother’s silver Lexus parked along the curb. Audrey and Ian were together in the back, oddly enough, leaving him the space up front.

“C’mere.” Trent pulled Kayden to a stop once they reached the sidewalk. A few students flowed around them, like water around a rock, but then they were alone again. “I love you,” Trent said, and his hazel eyes shimmered with conviction. “No matter what happens, we’ll make it through this.”

“Trent…” Kayden gazed affectionately into the other boy’s eyes. “I just want to be with you. I don’t care who knows or who doesn’t.”

“Mmm.” Trent took Kayden’s chin and pulled him up for a kiss.

Kayden moaned and leaned into Trent’s muscular body as their lips moved together. He swayed on the tips of his toes, helpless with his chin caught in Trent’s iron-like grip. The kiss went on and on and Kayden’s eyes fluttered shut as a delicious pleasure pooled in his belly.

“Kayden!”

Kayden pulled his lips from Trent’s with a start.

Cho hung out the passenger side window, watching them with narrowed eyes.

“Oops.” Trent chuckled. “Guess your mom saw that.”

“I’ve got to go.” Kayden backed up nervously.

“Bye babe,” Trent laughed. “See you in the morning,”

Kayden nodded and hurried away, his cheeks burning.

“Well, that was certainly a passionate kiss,” Cho said the second he got in the car.

“I’m sorry, I just…” Kayden pulled his door shut, then nervously twisted his hands in his lap. “I love him so much.”

“You love him?”

“Yes,” Kayden said moonily. “I love him more than anything.”

Cho stared at Kayden in amazement.

“Crazy, right?” Audrey spoke up from the backseat. “I thought the same thing when he told me. But he’s been saying that for a few weeks now.”

Cho shook her head and pulled away from the curb. “That’s who gave you those horrible nipple rings, isn’t it? It wasn’t Audrey at all.”

In the back, Ian and Audrey laughed together, and Kayden glared at them.

“No,” he said guiltily. “I let dad think it was her because I was too afraid to tell him the truth.”

“I don’t blame you,” Cho murmured. “I’ve considered telling him myself on several occasions, but I’ve kept my mouth shut. He won’t react well, Kayden.”

“I know…”

“Why are you acting like this? Are you trying to rebel?

“No, mom. I’m gay,” Kayden said, and Cho’s jaw tightened in protest.

“But how?”

“This is just…the way I am.”

“Mrs. Lee?” Audrey spoke up again, the mirth from before long gone. “We’ve both known for a long time he was this way. He’s not making it up.”

Cho glanced at Audrey in the rearview mirror. “So the relationship between the two of you…”

“Is a fake one. Yes.”

Cho pressed her lips together.

“I…” Audrey hesitated, pushing her short hair behind her ears. “I was going out with someone else at the beginning of the year. That’s how it started. Kayden was helping me keep it from my parents.”

“Going out with someone?” Cho blinked rapidly. “But who?”

“It’s not important,” Audrey said. “It’s already over. But what is important is that Mr. Lee still believes it. He has no clue Kayden’s into guys.”

Cho turned smoothly onto Embarcadero and drove into Palo Alto, her eyes locked on the road. “I suppose.”

“At least until the grandparents leave,” Ian said, and Kayden turned around to glare at him again. “What?” Ian’s dark hair was in his eyes and he shook it away with an inpatient sound. “Come on, Kayden. You can’t seriously expect Audrey to be your beard forever.”

“I don’t mind,” Audrey said coolly.

“Well, I do,” Ian said back. “I don’t think it’s right.”

Kayden frowned at his brother, but Ian wouldn’t meet his eyes. His gaze was stuck on Audrey, who was looking back at him with a teasing grin.

“You’re going to have to come clean one of these days,” Ian said, his eyes still on Audrey. “The two of you can’t keep this lie up for the rest of your lives.”

“Yeah, but there’s no need to rush,” Audrey said back. “Your dad doesn’t need to know. We could just keep it between us.”

Ian shook his head and looked out the window at the Trader Joe’s. “He’s going to find out eventually. And when he does…”

Kayden turned back to the front of the car with a sigh. “He’s going to kill me.”

“He won’t kill you, but he isn’t going to like it,” Ian said solemnly. “But what you have to remember is that you’re not alone in this, Kayden. We’ll all back you up.”

“Trent said I could move in with him when dad kicks me out,” Kayden said dryly, and Ian snorted.

“Live with Trent Hudson? That’ll be fun.”

“You can’t live with that boy,” Cho hissed.

“Where else am I going to live?” Kayden whined. “Under a bridge?”

“Dad won’t kick you out,” Ian laughed.

“Yes, he will,” Kayden complained. “He hates homosexuals. He won’t want me in his house anymore, let alone the family.”

“I really don’t think it’ll be that bad,” Ian said. “Maybe more grounding, but that’s about all he can do, really.”

“I’m sick of being grounded,” Kayden moaned. “I don’t know how much more I can study!”

“Hopefully, a lot more tonight,” Cho said. “Because your dad will be on you the minute he gets home.”

“Noooo.”

“Enough talk about moving out,” Cho said. “And I won’t tell him about your…relationship if you don’t. Your secrets safe with me.”

“I think that’s the best we can hope for right now,” Audrey said with a nod.

“Then it’s settled, no one talks about Kayden’s boyfriend,” Cho said as Kayden groaned in embarrassment. “I know everyone’s already tired of the current situation, but I think we’re all in agreement that we need to keep up the act until the grandparents leave.”

“Agreed,” Ian said.

“Sure thing,” Audrey chimed in.

“Things will get better once they go home and everything’s back to normal.”

“Yeah, then Kayden can come out of the closet,” Ian snickered.

“Why are you being so mean?” Kayden asked in a whine. “You’re the one who told me never to tell dad.”

“I was shocked, is all, but now that I’m thinking logically, I know you can’t continue this lifestyle. I mean, we’re all grounded because of you.”

“I know.” Kayden was so mortified right now, he knew his cheeks were bright red. “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, well, the only way you’ll be able to apologize is to make things right again. But not now. Mom’s right about the grandparents.”

Kayden buried his face in his bag, and Audrey and Ian laughed at him in response. Both of them seemed to be in excellent moods.

When they got back to the house, Audrey bounced out of the car with a big grin on her face. “Well, I’m off to study!”

“You look awfully cheerful about it,” Kayden grumbled, shoving his door open with his shoulder.

“I’ve got a test in the morning,” Audrey giggled. “I’m just preparing.”

Kayden frowned at Audrey, but she wasn’t paying attention anymore. Ian had gotten out of the car as well, and he came up behind her and whispered something in her ear that made her smile.

“Yeah. Me too,” she murmured to Ian, and then kissed him briefly on the cheek. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

Kayden gaped at the pair in total shock, but Audrey continued to pay him no mind. She ducked behind the fence, smiling, and disappeared into her house.

Ian beamed at him. “Did I mention we started going out?”

“What?” Kayden blinked at him.

“Come on, boys, I’ve got to run to pick up your sister next.” Cho checked her phone, ignoring the drama in the driveway. “Unless you want to ride-along, I suggest you go in and get started on your studies.”

Kayden wordlessly flapped his jaw, but Ian took over for him. “See you in a couple minutes, mom.” He tossed his arm around Kayden and drew him toward the gate. As he unlatched it, Cho began to back out of the drive.

“I-I-I—” Kayden struggled with his words. “She just kissed you!”

“I know, it was great wasn’t it,” Ian grinned. “That was the first time, too.”

“What’s going on, Ian?”

Ian keyed in the code on the back door and let them into the kitchen. “We’ve been spending a lot more time together since you and Trent have started seeing each other. It just…kind of happened the other day.”

“The other day?”

“Neither of us wanted to say anything.” Ian started for the kitchen table and tossed his bag down beside it. “I thought we were going to keep it a secret, but I guess we’re coming out too.”

Kayden stopped beside the island. “I don’t understand. How did this happen? Audrey…she hates you.”

Ian pushed his hair out of his face, his smile finally beginning to fall away. “Obviously not anymore.”

Kayden slowly shook his head. “I’m…speechless.”

“Aren’t you happy for me?” Ian asked, and Kayden sighed and let his bag drop to the floor.

“I’m glad you guys are trying it out, but if that means you’re going to start pushing me to come out to dad…”

“Then what? You don’t support me anymore?” Ian yanked a chair out from under the table and sat with a huff. “I’m the one trying to be honest here. I’m the only one who’s not swamped in secrets and lies.”

“Good for you.”

“It’s not fair to me that I can’t tell dad the good news,” Ian said. “He’ll be thrilled. The grandparents will be thrilled, too, but I’m going to have to keep it under wraps because your dating Audrey.”

Kayden worried his lip. “You know why I’m doing it though.”

“Yeah. Because you’re trying to hide your sexy boyfriend.” Ian sneered. “Its kind of ridiculous when you think about it.”

“It wasn’t even my idea to begin with,” Kayden hissed. “Audrey wanted to hide her sexy boyfriend first.”

“I know, Kayden,” Ian said tightly. “But things are different now.”

“Yeah.”

“Come on, mom will be back any minute,” Ian said. “Let’s at least try to pretend we’re doing our work.”

Kayden dragged his bag to the table and fell into his regular chair with a sense of resignation. He wouldn’t be allowed to leave this seat until well after dinner.

“We just need to get through these next couple weeks,” Ian said as he took out his notebooks. “Then the grandparents will come for their visit and everything will be great. Dad will be happy again, and then we can figure out how to break the news to him.”

Kayden sighed and leaned his elbow on the table. “I’d rather keep sneaking around. It’s been working just fine for the past few days.”

“I watched Trent lift you through the window last night,” Ian said with a smile. “The two of you look like a circus act.”

Kayden stuck his tongue out. “I bet you couldn’t lift Audrey like that.”

“I’ll never need to,” Ian said firmly. “Because I’d like to keep our relationship as legitimate as possible. We’re only seeing each other at school, and that’s fine for now.”

“Trent is so much different,” Kayden said wistfully. “There’s no relationship without the sex. He needs it too much.”

Ian smiled a little. “Maybe you do need to move in with him.”

“I don’t know. I’m scared to,” Kayden said. “I’m afraid he’ll get sick of me.”

Ian shrugged. “He might.”

Kayden dropped his face into his hands. “I don’t know what to do, Ian. Everything’s a mess.”

Ian patted him on the back. “Just try to concentrate on your studies. That always helps me when I’m feeling stressed. We’ll worry about the rest later.”

Kayden rested his head on the table instead. He didn’t want to study…

TxK

After he left Kayden, Trent went straight to Ivy’s dorm. He didn’t know what her class schedule looked like, but she’d have to come back here at some point.

Roble Hall was a beautiful sandstone building covered in climbing ivy. Trent left his truck in the parking lot and got out to wait under a nearby tree.

Bikes flanked the entire front of the dorm house. They were everywhere. Trent had never been one of the idiots riding around on a bike, and he scowled at the stupid contraptions. More than once, he’d nearly been ran over by the things, and he held an everlasting grudge for them.

He had a lot of unpleasant memories of his first year in the dorms as he stood in the shade, waiting for Ivy to appear. The close quarters, the shared showers, the food, everything had been subpar to his high expectations.

Trent was getting impatient and starting to wonder if maybe Ivy was already inside, when the girl pedaled into view further down the path. He crossed his arms and watched her ride closer with a frown on his face.

The moment Ivy saw him, she kicked her legs out in front of her and stopped on the path. Her mouth agape, she climbed off her bike, and pushed it into the grass. “I can’t believe your actually here.”

“Fuck you,” Trent bit out, but kept his voice low. They weren’t alone. There was a group of students studying across the path on one of the benches. “Of course I’m here. You have extremely sensitive material on your phone that involves me.”

Ivy let her bike fall into the grass and planted her hands on her hips. She had Trent’s red Stanford hoodie tied around her waist and he narrowed his eyes on the garment. “Well, I’m glad your finally here. Whatever the reason.”

“That’s my hoodie,” Trent said darkly. “You stole that out of my truck, didn’t you?”

Ivy looked down at her waist. “You gave it to me.”

“Maybe I let you borrow it, but I would never let you have it for keeps.”

With a huff, Ivy tore the hoodie from around her waist and thrust it into Trent’s arms. “There. Happy?”

“No,” Trent said through his teeth. “I’ll need you to delete that video next, then I’ll be all set.”

“I’m not going to do that,” Ivy said, inclining her head. “Not unless you come upstairs and talk to me first.”

“You’re pushing your luck, Ivy,” Trent growled under his breath, then, he slung the hoodie over his shoulder. “Fine. Let’s go up.”

Ivy stepped over her bike and took Trent’s arm. She pulled him toward the building and through the glass-paned doors. “Right this way,” she sang.

The inside of the dorm house brought more unpleasant memories to the surface. Ivy hustled Trent through a lounge room jam packed with freshmen, studying and talking in low voices, and he remembered all the stupid rules about quiet times and guests after certain hours as the freshmen looked up at him with interested eyes. There was only a year’s difference between them, but Trent already felt worlds above the lower classmen.

“I’ve got a single room now,” Ivy said as they exited the lounge and took the stairs up to the second floor. “And it’s right on the end so I have a little extra privacy.”

“I thought you had a roommate,” Trent muttered as they took the hall to the end. All the doors were shut, and he could see names on handwritten cards. It looked like this was the girls’ wing.

“I did, but after I came back they thought maybe I’d need some more space,” Ivy said as they reached the last door on the right. “So they gave me my own room.”

“Wow. Lucky you.”

Ivy smiled as she unlocked the door and let them in. “I’ve been dying to get you to come visit. It’s not fair I have all this freedom and no one to share it with.”

“You know I’m not here for sex, right?” Trent grunted as he followed the redhead inside. It was a small, white room with little decoration. The floor was carpeted, and there was a red blanket bunched up on the bed and a suitcase stuffed underneath, but other than that, the room was barren, and it looked like Ivy had just moved in. He stopped by the door and crossed his arms. “All I want is for you to delete that fucking video then I’ll go.”

“But I don’t want you to go,” Ivy bemoaned, falling back on her bed. “I’m so lonely, Trent. Things haven’t been right since we broke up. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know why I’m here…”

Trent hadn’t let the door shut behind him, and he looked uncomfortably down the hall as he sensed the desperation in Ivy’s tone. “I don’t know why you’re here either. So don’t look at me.”

Ivy propped herself up on her elbows and looked across the room at Trent. “I miss you,” she said softly. “I miss the passion and the intimacy we shared. I thought for a second that you actually loved me, and then everything went sour.”

“That’s because I don’t love you,” Trent sneered. “And I never did. Whatever you think we had is nothing but wishful thinking.”

“But that last time we were together—”

“Ivy, I don’t even remember the first time we were together. I was blasted when we hooked up; I was wasted the other two times, as well. I don’t remember any of it.”

Ivy’s lower lip trembled with emotion. “You don’t remember any of it?”

“No.”

“Well, do you remember this?” Ivy got out her phone and jabbed something viciously on the screen. Morbidly curious, Trent left the doorway and stepped closer for a better look. Ivy turned the phone in his direction and there it was. A zoomed in image of himself and Kayden was on the screen. Trent’s strong asscheeks were exposed to the moonlight and dead center in the frame. They moved rhythmically as he pumped his cock into Kayden’s body over and over. The little Korean was mostly hidden by his larger body, but his face was just visible over Trent’s shoulder. His eyes were squeezed shut and his mouth was open around a soundless scream.

Trent snatched Ivy’s phone and chucked it on the floor.

“No!” Ivy started to get up, but Trent stomped on her phone with the heel of his boot again and again until it was totally obliterated, and the screen went black.

“You didn’t have to do that!” Ivy yelled. “I already emailed it to myself! That did nothing!”

“Well, I didn’t know,” Trent growled, then kicked Ivy’s phone away. “And you shouldn’t have been spying on me. You deserved that.”

“Who is that boy?” Ivy asked. “I thought you were dating Maggie?”

“It was all for show,” Trent said shortly. “Just to get you off my back.”

“What’s going on with you?” Big crocodile tears glistened in Ivy’s blue eyes. “Are you turning into a gay man?”

“I guess I am.” Trent snorted with amusement. “You turned me gay, Ivy.”

“H-how?” Ivy sniffled.

“By being an obnoxious cunt,” Trent jeered. “Fuck. Kayden is the best thing that ever happened to me. He cares about my grades, he wants to know about my family and my past, he loves me unconditionally, and he’s so much better in bed than you,” he said bluntly. “You have absolutely nothing to offer me that Kayden can’t give me a hundred times better.”

Tears streamed down Ivy’s face. “T-that’s not true! I could give you anything you want! I can do anything you want…”

“Naw. Pass,” Trent said rudely. “I’m happy with what I got.”

“How are you happy?” Ivy poked a finger at her phone. “You’re obviously embarrassed of him!”

“No, I just don’t want anyone interfering in my personal business!” Trent yelled back. “You had to crawl through sticks and mud to find my house in the middle of the night. You’re fucking insane!”

“You’re embarrassed!” Ivy repeated. “And I’m going to expose you. I’m going to make you wish you’d treated me better!”

“And how the fuck am I supposed to treat you?” Trent asked. “You show up uninvited, threatening to humiliate me in front of the entire world! How do you expect me to react?!”

Ivy wiped her tears away. “I just wish you’d give me another chance.”

“Never,” Trent hissed. “And if you release that video, I’ll call my lawyer.”

Ivy pressed her lips together. “I guess that’s just a risk I’ll have to take.”

“Goddamn you, Ivy,” Trent muttered, but she ignored him.

“I’ll give you a few days to change your mind, then I’m posting it on Instagram.”

“I won’t change my mind,” Trent hissed.

“You might.” Ivy flipped her hair. “Once you go home and think about it for a while.”

“Fuck you, bitch! You’re never getting anymore of this.” Trent grabbed his cock through his jeans. Ivy scrunched her nose, but Trent didn’t care. He knew she wanted his cock, and she was never ever getting it again. “Enjoy your second of social media fame,” he snarled, then he spun on his heel and stormed out of the room.

A door opened halfway down the hall and a burnette poked her head into the hall.

“Hey! It’s quiet time!” she called, but Trent stalked right past her and took the stairs two at a time. He ran through the student lounge and out of the building.

When he got to the truck, he was surprised to find his hoodie still draped over his shoulder. He tossed it in the backseat, then started the engine with a sense of foreboding. Ivy hadn’t folded, the video was still in existence. He turned his music up as he tore out of the parking lot, angry with himself, Ivy, and pretty much everybody in the entire world. He didn’t think about sending Kayden a text until he was halfway home, but he was too frustrated to attempt anything legible.

“Goddamn paparazzi!” Trent roared when he reached the house and spotted a group of the leeches standing around the gate. He laid on the horn to get them to move, then blasted past them and rolled into the drive. “Fucking bullshit,” Trent muttered to himself as he took out his phone and pulled up his message app.

I just left Ivy’s place, he texted Kayden. It was a total waste of time. I couldn’t get her to delete the video.

He was glaring in the rearview mirror at the paparazzi, waiting for a reply from Kayden, when his phone buzzed once with a new notification. Curious, he glanced down at the screen and saw it was an email.

From: Ivysommers@stanford.edu

Subject: Just thought you’d like a copy.

Trent clenched his teeth together as he realized he’d been sent a video file. He didn’t even bother to look. He knew what it was.

With a growl of frustration, he hopped out of his vehicle and headed inside. He totally forgot about his message to Kayden. He had a lot on his plate tonight. Psych was first, then later, he’d try to go to the group for Conflict Management. He hated being responsible and keeping up with his studies, but for once in his life, he felt prepared for his exams, and it was a unique feeling indeed.

TxK

Kayden didn’t get a chance to check his phone until well after nine. Mark had been adamant he go over the chemistry assignment before lab the next day, so he’d completed the entire thing on paper, preparing to skip with Trent in the morning.

When he, Ian, and Emma were finally let off the hook for the night, Kayden ran up to his room to be alone. The phone was hidden under his mattress, and he knelt beside the bed to pull it out. There was a new text from Trent, and Kayden quickly tapped into his messaging app.

I just left Ivy’s place. It was a total waste of time. I couldn’t get her to delete the video.

Kayden nervously chewed his lip as he considered what to say. Did you get to see it, at least. He had to wait a couple minutes for a reply, and he was getting into his pajamas when his phone buzzed. He hurried back to the bed to read the new message.

Yes, Kayden. We have a sex tape.

Kayden blushed as he sat on the edge of his bed. Like Kim Kardashian?

Can I call you? Trent asked.

I guess… Kayden worried his lip, and within seconds, his phone lit up with a call and he answered it at once. “Hello?”

“Ivy was totally uncooperative,” Trent sighed into the receiver. “The only thing she wants for that video is another chance.”

“Another chance?”

“Yeah. Like another ride on my cock,” Trent grunted. “But I wouldn’t give it to her.”

“So what now? Is she going to release it to the public?” Kayden asked.

“Yes,” Trent said darkly. “She’s going to post it on Instagram in a couple days.”

“Instagram?” Kayden perked up. “Maybe nobody will see it.”

“Fat chance of that happening,” Trent said. “Everybody will see it, I’ll bet.”

“But will anyone care?”

“There’s a bunch of paparazzi in front of my house on the daily,” Trent hissed. “I’m sure they’ll be interested in the latest drama.”

Kayden rubbed his face. “Oh. Yeah. Them.”

Trent sighed. “I guess we’ll just have to see what happens.”

“I don’t think we have any other choice,” Kayden murmured. “Ivy’s got all the power.”

“Fucking bullshit,” Trent grumbled. “I’ve never had a sex tape show up on the internet. This is a first.”

Kayden smiled a little. “Well, I guess I’m glad I got to share the experience with you.”

“Ha ha,” Trent snorted. “Laugh it up, Kayden. Just wait until your all over the internet, getting fucked up the ass.”

Kayden’s smile fell away. “I wonder if my dad will see.”

“Who knows,” Trent sneered. “But mine definitely will. His publicist will see, at any rate. He’ll probably be stoked. The LGBTQ community is trending all over the world.”

Kayden wanted to ask more about what trending meant, but Trent quickly changed the subject.

“I wasted a bunch of time studying psych on my own tonight, then went to that group that meets in the library for a couple hours to get notes for Conflict Management,” he said boredly.

“You should never regret time spent studying,” Kayden said. “I did a lot of it tonight, as well, but it was in preparation for skipping class with you in the morning. It needed to get done.”

“Yeah, well, it was a lot more fun studying with you,” Trent said. “And when Mitch was coming with me, at least I didn’t feel like a total loser sitting in study group twice a week, confused as fuck. I wish I could get that asshole to come with me again.”

“Is Mitch still hurting over Audrey?” Kayden asked. “That poor guy.”

“Yeah,” Trent said. “He’s not doing much of anything. He’s barely even coming out of his room. I think he’s depressed.”

“I might have some bad news for you,” Kayden said guardedly. “Ian told me after class today he and Audrey are going out.”

“No shit,” Trent drawled. “He finally got her interested?”

“I don’t know how, but yeah. Audrey kissed him,” Kayden said in amazement. “I mean, it was just a kiss on the cheek, but still. I’ve never seen them so comfortable together.”

“Wow. Mitch is going to be pissed when he finds out.”

“You won’t tell him, right?” Kayden begged. “I mean, me and Audrey are still pretending we’re in a relationship.

“And you know how much longer that’s going to last,” Trent grunted. “Sure. Whatever. I won’t tell him.”

Kayden pouted. “Ian wants to tell dad the good news and I’m ruining it.”

“You are,” Trent said with a laugh. “All the more reason for us to come out, I guess.”

“Everyone’s hoping I’ll wait until after the grandparents leave,” Kayden said in a little voice. “They want to keep dad calm until the anniversary dinner’s over.”

“Well, that might not happen,” Trent said. “It all depends on what Ivy wants to do.”

“Yeah…”

“Listen,” Trent said. “I’ll come pick you up first thing in the morning, so meet me at the library as soon as you get to campus.”

“Okay…”

“I didn’t get your body today,” Trent said in a deep voice. “I’m not wasting any time tomorrow without you.”

Kayden smiled. “I won’t be any later than 9.”

“Good,” Trent said. “See ya in the morning, baby.”

“Bye Trent,” Kayden crooned. “I love you.”

“Love you, too.”

Kayden thought about his and Trent’s sex tape as he finished getting ready for bed. He wondered what he looked like on film…

Pictures of himself and Trent entwined in a passionate romp wandered through his mind as he got settled in bed and pulled the covers up to his chin. He wished he and Trent had gotten to spend time together today. He was horny and he wasn’t used to taking care of himself.

Gently, he reached under the covers and into his PJ pants. His penis was responding to the rude imaginings in his head, and slowly, it was filling with blood. He wrapped his little fingers around the length and gasped as a lurch of pleasure shot through his groin. His asshole clenched down on the plug in his ass as his eyes fell shut. It felt good in such a dirty, shameful way, Kayden couldn’t resist. He tightened his fingers around his penis and rhythmically pulled himself off.

It didn’t take but a minute for Kayden to reach orgasm, and he bit down hard on his bottom lip to stifle the noise when he came in his pants. He gasped deliciously in the aftermath and wiped his sticky hand on his pants for later. With a smile on his face, he rolled over and fell into a sated slumber, thinking of Trent…

***

It was morning, and Kayden sat in the backseat of his father’s Mercedes, waiting impatiently for Audrey to appear.

“Your grade for algebra came in this morning, Kayden,” Mark said from the front. He had his travel mug in one hand while the other drummed on the wheel. “Perfect scores. I’m very pleased.”

“Oh.” Kayden met Ian’s gaze in the rearview mirror, and he raised his eyebrows. “Thanks, I guess.”

“I see the increased studying has been helping,” Mark said primly, taking a sip of his coffee. “Maybe we’ll have to continue this set up after finals, as well.”

“Maybe,” Kayden muttered.

“I’m sure you’re all bored of the studying,” Mark said. “But you’ll thank me one day.”

“Right,” Kayden said as Audrey ran out of her house and came bouncing up beside the car. She hopped in beside him, a big smile on her face.

“Hey, Kayden.”

“Hi, Audrey.”

Ian turned around and smiled shyly at the girl. “Morning. How’d you sleep?”

Audrey smiled back, a gentle light in her eye, but Mark cut her off.

“It’s about time,” he grumbled. “It’s ten minutes till. We’re running late.”

“Sorry. I was helping my mom clean up after breakfast,” Audrey pulled her backpack off and hugged it to her chest. “Then I forgot my French book.”

“French,” Mark snorted. “A totally worthless study.”

Audrey made a face. “It’s not worthless to me.”

“You should be studying Korean,” Mark said loudly. “That’s the new language of business, so I’ve been told.”

Audrey rolled her eyes. “I’m trying to convince my dad to let me study abroad next year. In France.”

“So you can look at clothes?” Mark snapped as he reversed into the cul-de-sac. “There’s tons of fashion right here in the States. I’d never let you go.”

Audrey shook her head and looked out the window. “I’m glad you’re not my father.”

“Tsk.” Mark drove out of the neighborhood and turned onto Embarcadero. “Me too.”

Kayden gazed at his bestie as they took the road into town. He’d been thinking about this moment since yesterday afternoon. He was dying to pick Audrey’s brains about Ian, but he had to wait until they were on campus, and from the look on Audrey’s face, her pleasant mood from just moments before had all but vanished.

“Ian, I expect you to be done with your paper in physiology when I get home,” Mark said as they got closer to the school. “I want a chance to look over it before you turn it in tomorrow.”

“Yes, father,” Ian said. “I’ve got a rough draft from last night. It shouldn’t be too difficult to finish up before dinner.”

“Sounds good,” Mark said as he turned onto Campus Drive and approached the library. Ian’s first class was on the east end of campus and it was easiest for Mark to drop him off first. Kayden watched the building with bated breath as it got closer. Trent was waiting nearby, and he nearly vibrated with the desire to hop out when Mark pulled into the busy parking lot and stopped near the curb. “Have a good day at school, son. Study hard.”

Ian nodded somberly as he got out of the front seat, then he met Audrey’s gaze through the window and smiled. “See you at lunch,” he said, then turned away.

Mark wasted little time. He pulled smoothly away from the curb as Ian started down the path. “I expect you to be done with your reading in Biological Foundations when I get home, Kayden,” he said as he drove past Trent’s black truck. “Then start reviewing your psychology notes for an impromptu quiz before dinner.”

“Okay,” Kayden said distantly, his eyes on the truck as they bumped back onto Campus Drive and rode around the corner.

“And what do you have to study tonight?” Mark asked Audrey, glaring at her in the rearview mirror. “More French?”

“Probably,” Audrey said stiffly. “I was thinking of making it my minor, actually.”

Mark tisked again as they approached the Oval. “How do you say ‘waste of time’ in French?”

“Français n'est pas une perte de temps, c'est une langue merveilleuse,” Audrey said very clearly.

“I don’t know what you’re saying,” Mark said as they pulled to a stop on front campus. “What was all that gibberish.”

“It isn’t’ important,” Audrey said smartly, opening her door at once. “It’s a waste of time after all.”

Mark grumbled under his breath as Audrey jumped out and slung her kitty backpack over her shoulder. Kayden started to get out, too, when his father stopped him with a death glare. “Kayden?”

“Uh, yes?”

“Don’t give your mother a hard time after school,” Mark said shortly and Kayden froze in confusion. “She says you were being lazy with your studies after class yesterday. You had your head down for an hour she said.”

Kayden guiltily rubbed the back of his neck. He couldn’t believe Cho had ratted him out. “Sorry dad. I was just…tired.”

“Hopefully, you got a full night’s sleep,” Mark said shortly. “You’ve got a full day of classes ahead of you.”

“Yes, I know,” Kayden moaned.

Mark leveled him with a serious look. “I expect you to apply yourself today.”

“I will, dad,” Kayden said. “I’m not tired anymore.”

“Good.” Mark took another drink of his coffee, then waved him away. “Have a nice day.”

Kayden hurried to get out of the Mercedes and joined Audrey on the main esplanade. Mark held up a hand in farewell, then drove away.

“Your dad’s an enormous ass,” Audrey complained as they watched the older Korean pull back into traffic, then she turned and started walking purposefully for the main quad. “And I’ve got a French test in five minutes. Let’s go.”

Kayden ran after her. “Is it true you and Ian are dating?”

Audrey laughed. “He already told you?”

Kayden’s eyes bugged out of his head. “You kissed him on the cheek after class!”

“Oh, yeah,” Audrey smiled. “I did, didn’t I.”

“You did. That’s when Ian told me,” Kayden pointed out. “It was pretty shocking to hear, actually.”

“If you weren’t so involved with Trent, maybe you would have noticed we started holding hands between classes.”

Kayden’s mouth fell open. “Since when?”

“I don’t know, Kayden,” Audrey laughed again. “We’ve been spending a lot of time together recently,” she said. “But we just started kissing each other on the cheek. That just started yesterday.”

Kayden gazed at his friend in amazement as they took the path to campus. “But I thought you hated him.”

“I did,” Audrey said, not meeting his eyes. “But he’s really been trying to relax. Ian’s been really cool about the whole thing with Mitch and Mateo, and I’m just…I don’t know. Ready to try something different.”

“You guys haven’t…” Kayden made a vague hand gesture to simulate sex, but Audrey laughed at him.

“No. Of course not.” She shook her head, but there was a smile on her lips. “When would we even have time for sex?”

“I don’t know, me and Trent manage to find the time,” Kayden said dryly.

“Well, we haven’t.” Audrey flipped her hair. “And I’m fine with it for now.”

The two friends fell into silence as they took the wide stairs up to the main quad. It was another beautiful day and campus was busy with students going to class and visiting with friends. Kayden looked up at the tall palm trees as they swayed in the breeze.

“Are you going to class today?” Audrey asked as they reached the top of the stairs. “Or am I sitting through psych on my own?”

“We’re skipping today,” Kayden said guiltily. “I’m sorry. I don’t know how else to make time for Trent.”

Audrey sighed and pulled him aside as a group of students approached from behind. “I wish you wouldn’t skip, but I understand why you are.”

“Thanks Audrey.”

“I’ll take notes on the review session today,” she said helpfully. “It’s the least I can do.”

“I just can’t believe you’re dating Ian,” Kayden said, peering up into his friend’s face. “Is this just a rebound? Or are you serious about him?”

“I don’t know,” Audrey said, briefly meeting Kayden’s eyes, then looking away again. “He hasn’t been nearly as obnoxious as he used to be, he’s not ugly, and he’s passionate about his studies, which I admire, but maybe I am just looking for some kind of rebound.”

Kayden licked his lips. “Ian’s really excited about this. He’s already planning the day he’ll break the news to dad. He can’t wait.”

“Well, there’s no rush, no matter what he says,” Audrey said firmly. “We had a deal first. I’m not about to break my word to my best friend for a guy I’ve been dating for two days.”

“Thanks, but…I really don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to keep this a secret.” Kayden wanted to tell her about Ivy’s video, but he knew his friend had to go. “Things are really coming to a head.”

“They are, but you shouldn’t have to live in fear of your father,” Audrey said. “We’ll keep up the act for as long as you want.”

Kayden nodded.

Audrey looked over her shoulder toward the language corner. “I’ve really got to run.”

“I know.”

“Meet here at two?”

“Yes,” Kayden said in a little voice, and Audrey smiled at him again.

“Bye, Kayden.”

“Bye, Audrey.”

They hugged on the steps for a moment, then split up to go their separate ways. Kayden thought about his friend as he walked through the east gateway and past his first class. He hoped Audrey’s relationship with Ian wasn’t a rebound, for both their sakes. He thought maybe they could be good together, and he wanted it to last.

When Kayden got close to the library, he spotted Trent outside the building from a distance. Trent saw him too, smiled, then ran to meet him halfway. Kayden swooned a little when the tall, muscular boy stopped before him, and tipped his head back to meet his beautiful hazel eyes. “Hi.”

“I just saw your brother walk by,” Trent smirked. “He waved and everything.”

“It’s official. He and Audrey are dating,” Kayden said. “I just talked to Audrey about it.”

“They’ll make a cute couple,” Trent said, then took Kayden’s shoulder in one broad hand and drew him toward the parking lot. “Come on. We’ve got better shit to do.”

Kayden followed him down the hill. “What are we doing today?”

“I wanted to try a new position on the bed,” Trent said immediately. “But I need you to be all smooth beforehand, so we’ll take a shower first.”

Kayden blushed a little at the idea of a new position. “What are we going to do?”

“Reverse cowgirl,” Trent said, tossing his arm around Kayden’s waist with a laugh. “Or maybe its reverse cowboy…whatever. It’s the same position. You sit on my lap facing away, and I get to watch your tight asshole stretch around my cock.” Trent grabbed a handful of Kayden’s butt, and the little Korean jumped in response. “I’ve been craving this ass,” Trent said as he turned beet red. “I’ll get a great view of it bouncing on my dick.”

Kayden nervously licked his lips and Trent laughed at him.

“Just wait until we try it out,” he said, pulling Kayden close and kissing him on his forehead. “I’m sure you’ll love it.”

“I-I-I’m sure I will.”

As they reached the truck, Trent’s phone started buzzing.

“Fuck…” he muttered. “Maggie’s been trying to get ahold of me all morning. I’d better take this.”

Kayden climbed in the passenger seat as Trent answered his cell.

“No, Maggie. You didn’t wake me up. I’m on campus.” Trent sat behind the wheel and paused with the keys inches from the ignition. “No. I can’t meet you. I’m about to go home.”

Kayden watched Trent’s handsome face from under his eyelashes as he listened to Maggie’s reply. His brow was furrowed, and his jaw tight.

“No. I’m not coming,” Trent said in a deep voice. “I’m not wasting my time at the sorority house anymore. Ivy knows we aren’t really dating.”

“What?!” Kayden could hear Maggie’s loud screechy voice without even trying. “But how?”

“That stupid bitch was spying on me,” Trent said darkly. “She caught me with someone else and made a stupid video she’s threatening to put on Instagram.”

Maggie murmured something in reply, and Trent balled his hand into a fist around his keys as he listened.

“I don’t care,” he growled. “And we were never dating to begin with, so I don’t know what you’re so fucking bent about.”

Trent paused again and Kayden watched with wide, curious eyes.

“Sorry. The deal’s off. It didn’t work,” Trent said. “I’m not coming to the sorority house again and you can forget about formals.”

Maggie squawked something, but Trent pulled the phone from his ear and quickly ended the call.

“Fucking bitch,” he murmured, tossing his phone aside, then sliding the keys in the ignition with finality. “She wanted me to come to a party tomorrow. But I obviously don’t need to anymore.”

Kayden beamed at him. “I’m glad you turned her down.”

“She’s pissed about the winter formal thing, but she’ll get over it,” Trent said, starting the truck and turning up the radio. “I don’t owe her anything anymore.”

“No, you don’t.”

Trent backed out of his parking space and tore out of the lot as a soft woman’s voice started to sing.

“Smoking weed with you, cause you taught me to. Smoking weed with you, cause you taught me to.”

Her voice was ghostly, and it repeated over and over in the background as a deep bass started, and a husky male voice jumped in.

“Every morning when I wake up, uh,

money on my mind, good times and get caked up, uh,

sunshine coming through my blinds,

I'm living but, really though, it's never enough,

Ten milli on, that's a must,

Living in California everybody wanna visit for,

Women, weed and weather,

They come for women, weed and weather,

Women, weed and weather.”

Kayden watched with wide eyes as Trent took the roads at a careless speed.

“That reminds me,” Trent said over the pounding music. “I need to go by Seth’s sometime this weekend for a reup. I’m almost completely out of weed.”

“Oh.” Kayden made a face. “I don’t like him.”

Trent smiled. “I don’t like him much either, but he throws the best parties, and has good stuff to smoke. I’ll take you to another party some day, when we have the time.”

Kayden pouted. “I’d rather hang out at your place.”

“We don’t have anything to drink, and I’m on the last of my smoke,” Trent said. “Hell, it might be better to go over to Seth’s if I didn’t need to shave you. He won’t have a group of blood sucking paparazzi outside his gate, or any mother figures waiting in the wings.”

“That’s true,” Kayden said in a little voice.

“Don’t worry, we’re not going today,” Trent said as they turned down Dish Trail and drove into the Stanford hills. “I’ll probably make you smoke some of my dope though.”

Kayden wrinkled his nose. “I don’t like weed.”

“There’s no way you don’t,” Trent laughed.

“It’s not terrible, but it makes me feel so…floaty and weird!”

“You don’t need to feel weird around me,” Trent said in a deep voice. “You just need to get naked. That’s it. I’ll take care of everything else.”

Kayden worried his bottom lip as he spotted the house in the distance. He could see a few paparazzi outside, and he ducked down to hide as they got closer.

“Fuckers,” Trent muttered as they drove through the gate. “They’re hoping to get my mom on camera.”

Kayden hugged his knees as Trent opened the garage door and glided into the empty space.

“They surprised her once without her bikini top on,” Trent snorted. “I hope she knows better than to pull that shit again.”

Once they were parked and the door was shut behind them, Kayden sat up and looked to Trent for direction.

Trent watched him in the dim light with half-lidded eyes. “You’re so fucking adorable, you know that?” He reached across the arm rest and combed his fingers through Kayden’s soft hair. “I can’t wait to fuck you.”

Kayden swallowed nervously.

“Come on,” Trent said, then shut off the truck and hopped out. Kayden grabbed his bag and followed him in.

“Trent?” Diana’s voice came from the foyer. “Is that you?”

“Shit…” Trent stepped in front of Kayden, but it was too late. Diana poked her head into the hall and waved when she spotted them standing in the gloom.

“Oh Kayden! I didn’t see you there.”

“Uh…hi.”

Diana’s brow wrinkled. “Please tell me you aren’t wearing that sweater again.”

Kayden looked down at himself and saw he was wearing his dad’s gray sweater for the millionth time. “Uh…”

“Are you two skipping class again?” Diana asked with a knowing smile. “To study, I hope.”

“Fuck off, mom. What do you want?” Trent groused, grabbing Kayden’s arm and yanking him the rest of the way down the corridor where they met Diana in the sundrenched foyer. “I was trying to avoid you.”

“Why?” Diana looked a bit hurt. She touched her chest gently with her good arm. “I was just watching the pool boy when I heard the garage door opening. I was curious who it was.”

Kayden glanced through the sliding glass doors to the patio and froze when he met Mateo’s eyes through the window. The boy was wearing a pair of swimming trunks as he cleaned the pool with a long stick.

“We’re studying,” Trent said through his teeth. “So I’d appreciate if you got out of our way and let us work.”

“Trent, I know your not studying,” Diana laughed, and Trent hissed like a snake.

“What are you saying?”

“I heard the two of you the other night,” Diana said with a smile. “Making love by the pool.”

“I wasn’t making love,” Trent growled. “I was fucking.”

“Well, I heard you either way,” Diana said lightly, glancing at Kayden. “I already suspected you were in a relationship of course, but that certainly confirmed it.”

Kayden touched Trent’s shoulder as he shook with frustration. “You knew she was going to hear us, Trent. Remember?”

“Yeah,” Trent said tightly. “But it doesn’t make it any better.”

“Are you trying to keep it a secret?” Diana asked.

“Yes, of course, I am!” Trent snapped. “I’m not gay, this relationship is just different than the others.”

Diana smiled hugely. “And it’s not because he’s a boy, right?”

“No!”

“What’s going on?”

Trent spun around, tugging Kayden by the wrist as he went. “Mitch?”

Mitch stood in his doorway halfway down the hall. “You fuckers woke me up? What the hell?”

“Missing class again?” Trent sneered. “When are you going to get over that stupid girl?”

Mitch bristled. “I’m over it. I’m just not in the mood to drag myself to campus.”

“Yeah. Whatever.”

Mitch nodded over Trent’s shoulder at Diana. “What’s she doing in here so early?”

Diana frowned. “The maid is vacuuming the pool house. Am I doing something wrong being here?”

“No…”

“He’s just referring to your incredible nosiness,” Trent snapped, glaring at his mother. “Any normal person would be in their room at this hour, letting the rest of the house sleep, but you’re in our house again making a nuisance of yourself.”

Diana raised her eyebrows.

“Jeez, Trent, that’s pretty harsh,” Mitch said. “If your complaining about your mom knowing your gay now, that’s your own fault. We all heard you fucking your boyfriend on the patio the other night.”

Trent threw his hands up. “Did everybody see that! Jesus Christ!”

“It’s like a reverberation chamber out there,” Mitch said with a laugh. “Your noises were echoing through the entire house.”

“Fuck this!” Trent yelled.

Mitch glanced at Kayden in surprise. “What’s his problem?”

Kayden started to answer, but Trent spoke over him.

“Ivy made a video of us fucking the same night! I swear! They must have been selling tickets to the goddamn show!”

Mitch snorted with amusement, but Diana covered her mouth in shock. “A video?”

“Oh, shut up mom!” Trent roared. “I’m not talking to you!”

Diana zipped her lips.

“Trent,” Kayden whispered. “Your being incredibly rude.”

“There’s too many fucking people in this house!” Trent yelled, then grabbed Kayden’s arm again and yanked him for the stairs. “Everybody just needs to leave me the hell alone and let me do what I came here to do.”

“Which is?” Diana asked coyly.

Trent glared at her. “Take a wild guess.”

“Oh. Right.”

Trent pulled Kayden upstairs and to the bathroom. He slammed the door behind them, then promptly turned the lock. “Get naked,” he said, and Kayden hurried to comply.

Kayden thought about the wardrobe Diana had bought for him as he pulled his dad’s sweater over his head. Maybe he could take a few t-shirts home with him today in his bag.

Trent unzipped his jeans and stepped out of his shoes as he turned to the faucet. “I bet the goddamn pool boy heard us fucking, too,” he muttered under his breath as the water started in the stall.

“I hope not,” Kayden whispered. “I have writing class with that guy.”

“Oh yea, I forgot,” Trent laughed, then shoved his jeans to the floor and yanked his shirt over his head. “Awkward.”

“He just saw me, too,” Kayden said. “I hope he doesn’t bring it up in class.”

“He won’t,” Trent said darkly. “He knows better than to talk about anything he sees here. We pay him too well for that.”

Kayden nodded as he peeled off his pants and his underwear, then stood naked in the middle of the tiled room. He watched Trent finish undressing, and marveled at his thick cock as it hung between his muscular thighs.

Trent caught him looking and he smirked. “Get in the shower, Baby-Kay.”

Kayden climbed into the stall, and immediately got under the spray. It was warm, luxurious, and totally invigorating. “Ohhh….” He moaned as the water pounded down his back and his eyes fell shut. “That feels sooo good.”

“Mmm, it does, doesn’t it?” Trent asked as he got in behind Kayden and wrapped his arms around his slim waist. “Fuck…you feel good.” He pulled him back against his chest and the water ran over their bodies.

Kayden relaxed into the wet embrace with a sigh, and Trent held him for such a long time, he was in a trance and close to falling asleep when he kissed the back of his neck and asked him to bend over.

“I’m going to shave your tight ass, your balls, and your cock,” Trent said in a husky voice. “Then I’m going to fuck your beautiful little hole until I come deep inside of you.”

Kayden groaned with anticipation and bent at the waist to present his ass.

“Reach back for me baby,” Trent said in a soft voice. “I want to get all the hair between your cheeks.”

Kayden could feel the plug slipping from his rectum, but he ignored it and pulled his ass wide for Trent’s inspection.

“God,” Trent muttered, staring at Kayden’s sparkly green plug. “I’ll never get tired of looking at that.”

“Ohh, take it out,” Kayden moaned. “It’s about to fall!”

“No, baby, push it out for me. I want to see your ass work.”

“Oooooooh!” Kayden squeezed and flexed his ass muscles around the plug, and slowly, it started to slide out of him. “Uhhh…” he whined when it fell from his body and clattered to the floor.

“That looks like a needy pink hole,” Trent choked. “Fuck.”

“Trent…hurry…” Kayden dug his fingers into his buttcheeks. “I want you…”

“I want you, too.” Trent reached for the shaving equipment. “This will only take a minute.”

Kayden held himself wide as Trent crouched down and made quick work of the hair between his cheeks. He was very careful, but his knuckles repeatedly brushed against his entrance and Kayden quickly started to become hard.

“Turn around,” Trent said when he was finished, and Kayden let go of himself and turned under the water. Trent crouched below him, right in front of Kayden’s half-hard penis. “Pull your cock up for me,” he said. “I’m going to get your shaft.”

Kayden grasped the head of his erection and pulled it up tight against his body. He watched Trent shave him with bated breath. The razer glided along his wet, sensitive skin with ease, and he relaxed after a few moments. Trent handled his balls next and shaved them delicately with soap. His tongue stuck out of the corner of his mouth while he worked, and Kayden thought he looked incredibly beautiful.

“There,” Trent said at last, setting the razer aside. “All smooth.”

“Trent…” Kayden whined, reaching for Trent’s big, strong arms.

Trent stood, and there was a mischievous glint in his eyes when he met Kayden’s. “Are you ready for my cock?”

“Yes…” Kayden was close to fully hard, and he could see Trent’s erection between his legs as well. “I want you badly.”

Trent shut off the water and lifted Kayden in one easy motion.

“Oh!” Kayden gasped as his feet were swept out from under him. “What are you doing?”

Trent smirked as he carried him out of the stall. “Carrying you to bed.” And he did just that. He stepped over their discarded shoes and clothes and unlocked the bathroom door. They stepped across the hall and entered the bedroom beyond.

The blinds were all open and the bed was awash in sunlight, but when Trent laid him on the coverlet, Kayden found it was cool to the touch. His skin was wet, but he stretched out on the bed and pointed his toes.

Trent watched him for a few moments, his eyes dark with arousal. His caramel skin was speckled with water, too, but it only made him more gorgeous in the light.

“Trent…I need you…” Kayden moaned, and Trent dove onto the bed and pulled Kayden into his arms.

“How much do you need me?”

“I need you so much,” Kayden whined, thrusting his hard cock against Trent’s hip. “Trent…please.”

Trent plucked each of Kayden’s pierced nipples, one after the other, and Kayden cried out in response. “I want you to beg for it.”

“Trent…please fuck me,” Kayden threw his head back on the bed as Trent kissed his throat. “I want your cock inside of me so bad…”

“Mmm.”

“Trent…please…fuck me.”

Trent kissed and licked his way down Kayden’s chest until he was sucking on the still healing nipples.

“Aaaah!”

“Does it hurt?” Trent asked, pulling away in concern.

“A-a little,” Kayden whispered. “But they’re just really sensitive.”

Trent smiled, then rolled over on his back, pulling Kayden along with him. “I’ll give you my cock, Baby-Kay, but I want to watch you ride it,” he said as he rested his head back against the padded headboard. “Just like I said outside the library.”

Kayden settled in Trent’s lap and rocked a little back and forth. “Reverse cowboy?”

Trent’s eyes fluttered halfway shut. “That’s right.”

Kayden rocked a few more times, then nodded and turned around in Trent’s lap, so his chest was nestled against Trent’s raised knees. “Like this?” His cock was pressed right against Trent’s in this position, and he moved his hips experimentally.

“Yes. Like that.” Trent reached over for the bedside drawer and pulled out their strawberry lube. “Now I’m going to get you ready.” He uncapped the bottle with his thumb, then poured a generous amount into the small of Kayden’s back.

Kayden gasped as the lube slid into the crack of his butt. “It’s cold.”

“Yeah, the guys like to keep the A/C on all the time.” Trent tossed the lube aside and started to rub it in. “It won’t last long though. It’ll warm up.”

Kayden started to moan as Trent rubbed the lube into his pucker, then went a step further and greased up both their cocks and balls. Everything was slick and sticky, and Kayden held onto Trent’s legs as he shook with pleasure.

“I think you’re ready,” Trent chuckled, then he pulled his erection out from between Kayden’s thighs, and pressed his cockhead to his needy hole. He slid inside with little resistance and Kayden pushed back on the length as the pressure increased.

“Ah!” Trent’s cock bent at an odd angle as he entered Kayden’s body, but slowly, it slipped fully into his passage and he settled back in Trent’s lap with an assfull of cock. “God yes!”

Trent pulled Kayden’s hairless cheeks apart and groaned with appreciation. “Your asshole’s stretched so beautifully around my cock right now. Fuck.”

Kayden leaned into Trent’s knees a little and slid upward on his shaft. “Ohhh.” It felt so good. He sat back on the full length, rocked a little, then leaned forward again and let Trent slide out of him. He fucked himself like that on Trent’s cock for some time.

“That’s good baby,” Trent groaned. “You look great riding on my cock. I don’t want you to stop.”

“Oh, I don’t want to…” Kayden whispered, hugging Trent’s thighs. “You feel so good sliding inside of me.”

“God yes.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Kayden sat up in a panic and looked toward the door as it was kicked partway open.

“Oh, shit.” Mitch entered the room with an armful of clothes. “Sorry. I just…”

Trent sat up a little and grabbed Kayden’s hips. “What?” He drove his cock deep into Kayden’s guts, and Kayden gasped as his prostate was battered. “What did you want, motherfucker?

“I ah…your mom wanted me to give these to Kayden.” Mitch gestured to the clothes in his arms. “She said if she has to see that boy in another ragamuffin outfit, she’ll lose her mind.”

Trent snorted. “Throw it down. We’re a little busy at the moment.”

Mitch tossed the clothes toward the foot of the bed, but he didn’t leave the room.

“What do you want, Mitch?” Trent snapped, punctuating the question with a sharp jab of his hips. Kayden panted as he was nailed with such exuberance, but Trent paid him no mind. He kept up the brutal thrusts as Mitch gazed at them in total shock.

“I wanted to ask about that video thing you mentioned,” he said, his eyes zeroing in on Trent’s greasy cock thrusting in and out of Kayden’s little body. “You said something happened with Ivy?”

“Yeah…she caught Kayden and I fucking and made a sex tape,” Trent said darkly. “She’s going to humiliate me in front of the entire school…because I won’t sleep with her anymore.”

“Wow, what a cunt.”

“That’s what I said.”

“Do you want me to do something about it?” Mitch asked.

Trent gasped, then drove his fingers into Kayden’s ass with force. He was coming, and Kayden couldn’t believe it. “I—ah….I—I don’t care what you do,” Trent grunted as he shook through a powerful orgasm. “She isn’t going to listen to you…no matter what you do to her. I already tried to talk to her.”

“I could try, too,” Mitch smirked. “It wouldn’t hurt to try.”

“Yeah…Okay,” Trent said as he collapsed back on the bed. “I don’t see how it could hurt.”

“Me either.” Mitch smiled, then stepped out of the room. “Well, have fun, you two.”

Trent watched the blond intruder slip from the room. “Fucking asshole.”

“You certainly fucked my asshole,” Kayden whined, then slid off Trent’s lap with a gasp. “Owww. I think I’ll be sore for days.”

“Mmm.” Trent smiled. “I like that. Did you come?”

“No.”

“You will. Later.” Trent sat up and reached for the bedside table again. “Maybe after I get you high you’ll be a little more relaxed.”

“Your best friend was just in here!” Kayden cried. “I can’t believe you just…kept going!”

“He’s seen me fuck a million times, what’s the difference.” Trent pulled a little glass bowl from the drawer. “And he actually had an idea for once.”

“I told you to take Mitch with you yesterday,” Kayden said. “That was my idea.”

“Naw. Your idea sucks. Mitch works best on his own,” Trent said with a nod. “Like me.”

Kayden frowned as he found a lighter in the drawer and sparked up his bowl. When he passed it, Kayden made a face, but took a hit. He still had hours before he had to be home. He was confident he had time to get sober.

“He’s probably going to scare her or something,” Trent said, taking the bowl back and flashing it again with the lighter. “And maybe it’ll work. Who knows.”

“He won’t…hurt her, right?” Kayden asked as a deep concern filled the pit of his belly. Most of it was from the weed, but he didn’t notice the difference. “I don’t want anyone to be hurt because of me.”

“Mitch wouldn’t hurt a girl,” Trent chuckled. “Not unless it was with his dick.”

Kayden pouted dramatically. “That’s gross.”

“I just hurt your poor little ass, didn’t I?” Trent said sweetly, passing Kayden the bowl again. “And I’m going to hurt it again after you suck me.”

Kayden drew a lungful of weed into his body. He was worried about Ivy, but he liked the sound of Trent’s plan. He still really wanted to come.

“C’mere.” Trent took the bowl from Kayden, then pulled him close for a kiss.

Kayden’s head spun as his lips melted into Trent’s and the kiss quickly became heated. His little cock began to perk up with interest again, and he wrapped one small hand around Trent’s strong bicep as the feelings grew inside of him.

They fell onto the bed together as the passions overwhelmed them both. For the next few hours, the boys focused on pleasuring each other’s bodies. There was nothing else that mattered.
