Chapter 9: Confession of Desire

Aiden sat alone on the grass, staring up at the night sky. The campus was mostly quiet, except for the occasional rustling of leaves in the cool evening breeze. He exhaled slowly, his thoughts tangled in a web of confusion.

He knew he should stop this. He knew he should put an end to whatever game Aarav was playing with him.

But every time Aarav touched him, kissed him, whispered in his ear---Aiden lost himself.

"Aiden."

The deep voice sent a shiver down his spine. He turned his head to see Aarav standing behind him, hands tucked into his pockets, his usual smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

Aiden tensed. "What are you doing here?"

Aarav stepped forward, crouching in front of him. "Looking for you."

Aiden frowned. "Why?"

Aarav didn't answer. Instead, he reached out, brushing his fingers along Aiden's jaw. "You've been avoiding me again."

Aiden stiffened at the touch, his breath hitching. "I have not."

Aarav chuckled. "Lair."

Before Aiden could protest, Aarav grabbled his wrist and pulled him up to his feet. "Come with me."

"Aarav---"

"Shh." Aarav pressed a finger against Aiden's lips, his eyes darkening with something unreadable. "No arguments."

Aiden swallowed hard as Aarav let him through the dimly lit campus. His grip was firm, almost possessive. Aiden's heart pounded, unsure where this was going---but he followed anyway.

A few minutes later, they reached a secluded spot behind the old library, where no one ever came at this hour. Aarav backed Aiden against the stone wall, his gaze intense.

"I missed you," Aarav murmured.

Aiden's breath caught. "Aarav, we can't---"

Aarav silenced him with a kiss.

This wasn't like the other times. This kiss was rougher, deeper, filled with something desperate. Aiden gasped against his lips, but he didn't push him away. Instead, his fingers curled into Aarav's shirt, pulling him closer.

Aarav's hands roamed over Aiden's body, tracing his sides, gripping his waist. "You feel so good," he murmured against Aiden's lips.

Aiden whimpered, his body betraying him completely. "Aarav..."

Aarav smirked, pressing his thigh between Aiden's legs. "You like this, don't you?"

Aiden's cheeks burned. He tried to look away, but Aarav gripped his chin, forcing him to meet his gaze.

"Say it," Aarav whispered.

Aiden swallowed hard. His lips parted, but no words came out.

Aarav leaned in, his lips ghosting over Aiden's ear. "I'll make you say it."

Aiden shuddered as Aarav's hands slipped beneath his shirt, his fingers tracing over his bare skin. Aiden bit his lip, trying to hold back the moan that threatened to escape.

Aarav chuckled darkly. "Don't hold back, baby."

Aiden whimpered as Aarav's lips trailed down his neck, his hands exploring, teasing, pushing Aiden's boundaries further. He could feel the heat pooling in his stomach, his body responding in ways he didn't fully understand.

Aiden let out a shaky breath, his resolve crumbling. "Aarav..."

Aarav smirked against his skin. "Yes, baby?"

Aiden clenched his fists, trying to regain some semblance of control. "This is wrong."

Aarav pulled back slightly, his eyes searching Aiden's. "Then why aren't you stopping me?"

Aiden had no answer.

Because deep down, he didn't want to stop.

Aarav kissed him again, slow and deep, making Aiden melt completely. Aiden whimpered against his lips, his hands gripping Aarav's shoulders to keep himself steady.

Aarav pulled back just enough to whisper against his lips. "You're mine, baby."

Aiden's heart pounded. He knew he should deny it. He should tell Aarav that this was nothing more than a mistake.

But instead, he closed his eyes and let himself fall.
