Kyler's POV.

June 15, 2019

The music and laughter from outside faded as I dragged Stass into the house, weaving past guests until we reached the quiet hallway. My hand stayed wrapped around her wrist, her resistance evident in the stiffness of her arm, but she let me lead her. When we reached the bathroom, I pushed the door open and gently guided her inside, closing it behind us.

STASS: She crossed her arms and leaned against the counter, her jaw tight and eyes blazing. "You've got about five seconds to explain why you didn't think it was worth mentioning that you dated her for years and slept with her."

KYLER: I sighed, running a hand through my growing hair. "It's not like that. Kaitlin and I...we were kids. It was high school. We ended things amicably after graduation, and we've barely talked since."

STASS: "Then why didn't you tell me?" She snapped, her voice sharp and demanding. "If it was SO significant, why keep it from me? Were you hoping it wouldn't come up?"

KYLER: I held my hands up, trying to keep my tone calm. "It wasn't a secret. It just didn't feel important. She's not part of my life anymore. Yeah, we follow each other in socials and like the occasional post, but that's it. There's no bad blood, no drama, nothing."

STASS: Stass's glare didn't waver. "So I'm just supposed to believe that you conveniently forgot to mention a three-year relationship with someone you clearly cared about enough to give your virginity to?"

KYLER: I stepped closer, softening my voice. "Stass, look at me. I didn't mention it because it's not relevant to us. What Kaitlin and I had is history. You're my present and future. The only person I care about right now is you."

STASS: Her eyes searched mine, the tension in her shoulders easing just slightly. "I don't like feeling like there's parts of you I don't know. We've been friends for so long, Kyler." She admitted, her voice quieter now but no less firm. "I've told you a lot about me, practically everything. And I hate saying this, but I expected the same from you."

KYLER: "I know." I said, nodding. "You deserve that, and I'm sorry if it felt like I was keeping this from you. I honestly thought Kylie would've mentioned it after it happened. I wasn't trying to hide anything...I just didn't think it mattered. But I get it now. I'll do better."

For a moment, the room fell silent except for the faint hum of the party outside. Then, without warning, Stass stepped closer, her hand gripping my crotch firmly.

STASS: I froze, her dominance catching me off guard as she leaned in close, her breath hot against my ear. "If I find out you've been keeping anything else from me, Kyler Jenner, I swear..." She trailed off, her grip tightening slightly.

KYLER: I swallowed hard, my lips twitching into a smirk. "Understood." I said, my voice low and teasing. Then, pushing my hips forward slightly, I added. "No more secrets. Promise."

STASS: Her eyes narrowed, but there was a flicker of amusement there, too. "You better mean that."

KYLER: "I do." I said, leaning closer. "And for the record, I kinda like it when you're in charge."

She rolled her eyes, but her lips curved into a small smile before I closed the distance between us, kissing her hard. She responded instantly, her hands sliding up to grip my shirt as I pressed her back against the counter.
