The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret BL Chapter 18: An Unforgettable One Night Stand Part 1
Landon’s P.O.V
One week ago…
“Fucking bastards!” I heard the guy yell as he fled from the washroom, leaving us all behind as he uttered a stream of curses under his breath.
I looked back at Night, who I had helped get off the floor in the meantime as Kai beat the other man to a pulp.
Of course I recognized that prick. There was no way I would forget that face easily. He was Night’s ex from high school that all of us had warned him against but Night hadn't listened…until it had been too late.
But I realized that now wasn’t the time to remind Night of exactly what kind of a fuck up he was because he seemed to be in enough trouble already as he wiped away blood from the corner of his lips.
“You okay?” I asked him quietly, trying not to get anyone else’s attention because the level of testosterone in here seemed pretty high already.
Night barely nodded his head before Kai grabbed his hand and dragged him away and out of the washroom, leaving me standing there awkwardly, facing the beast of a man who was one of Kai’s best friends, Devon.
“Hey, kid.” Devon called out to the boy who had nearly been molested by Night’s ex and was now standing at the very end, cowering away from everyone like he was scared that he might still be in danger. “You alright there? Do you need us to take you to the hospital?”
“No!” The kid immediately shook his head. “I-I can’t…I can’t let my p-parent’s find out…”
The boy was obviously scared but it seemed like he didn’t want to get into trouble. And Devon being built like a tank wasn’t exactly helping the situation either, especially since he was dressed in all black like some kind of a gangster. So I decided to step closer to him instead.
“Are you injured?” I asked him again, this time with my voice low and sympathetic as I tried approaching him like I would a wounded animal. “I can take you to a clinic, if you want? We’re not going to hurt you, we promise.”
The boy nodded slowly as he came forward and ran right into my arms. The poor thing was trembling in fear and I instantly felt protective towards this boy who would hardly be a few years younger than me.
“We should get him out of here.” Devon suggested as he came to stand beside me. “I’ll bring my car up to the front, you get him there first and then we can decide what to do from there on out.”
I nodded and held onto the boy tightly as I saw Devon watch that interaction with narrowed eyes. But then he turned and left the washroom, leaving us alone. Outside the sound of the music could still be heard to the fullest, making the ground shake just by the vibration of the beats.
I took the boy towards one of the sinks and washed his face, helping him get rid of the tear-stains, before I helped him out of the washroom and into the main club area. I didn’t know if anyone had remembered to pay the tabs or not since everyone had already left, but when I went up to ask one of the waiters, he told me that the man who had just left, indicating Devon, had just paid the bill before leaving.
Relieved, I took the boy up front and waited for Devon to show up with his car, which didn’t take long as a black SUV pulled up to the front in a few minutes.
I took the boy to the backseat and helped him in before getting inside with him, just in case I needed to keep an eye on him.
“There’s a first aid kit next to you.” Devon told me from the front. “Help him out in case there’s any bruising.”
“Okay.” I nodded. I took the kit and began going through it to get the antiseptic wipe. There weren’t any open wounds, thankfully, but he was going to have a bruised lip and a possible black eye. So I helped clean those up first before.
“You have some place to stay for tonight, kid?” Devon asked the boy as he pulled out of the club’s driveway. “Or do you want to stay at a hotel?”
“No.” He shook his head immediately. “I’ll text my friend. I can stay there for the night.”
“Alright. Just gimme the address.”
Once again…I was left speechless by this man.
Devon King…a third year Economics major and the Boxing club president. The man I have had a crush on since I laid eyes on him.
I had expected a lot of things from this man, but I hadn't really expected him to be this kind and helpful…
The rest of the ride passed by in silence as we drove to the boy’s friend’s house. His friend was already waiting for him when we arrived and after thanking us countless times, both of them went inside hurriedly, leaving me and Devon all alone in the car.
I was debating on what I should do next when I heard Devon’s voice from up front.
“Come up front.” Devon told me, once the boy was inside the house. And I agreed since it would be more convenient if Devon wanted to talk to someone.
So I got off the car and got into the passenger’s seat quietly, fastening my seatbelt on the way before settling in comfortably.
“Give me your address, I’ll drop you off.” Devon told me then. “It’s pretty late.”
“Are you sure?” I asked hesitantly. “I don’t want to impose…”
“Nah…its fine.” He sighed. “Need to get my mind off of tonight anyway. Better to do something than just sit here regretting not being able to bash that bastard’s head in.”
I swallowed and told him my address. Devon was scary when he was mad, but still I didn’t think I could be afraid of him. He didn’t scare me at all…not in the sense that he would ever hurt me. In fact, being next to him made me feel safe.
I really admired this man a lot. Not only was he handsome, good at studying and a champion boxer…he was also kind hearted.
He didn’t have to drop the boy off at his friend’s house. He didn’t even have to offer to drop me off either. He could’ve just kept on going like everyone had expected. But Devon had given the boy first aid and driven him to safety. And now he was driving me as well.
However, even though I was glad he helped him out…I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous either…he appeared to really care about that boy and he didn’t even know him.
“You keep staring at me like that little mouse,” Devon’s voice washed over my senses right at that moment, husky and a little rough. “Looks to me like you’re begging to be eaten up.”
My eyes widened in horror at his choice of words as my head snapped in his direction. Did he notice me staring at him secretly? Did he somehow understand that I had a crush on him?
The car came to a stop at the side of the road, in a remotely secluded area and Devon turned off the engine before turning his body towards me partially. His form seemed to engulf all the space inside the car and his presence was almost overbearing, however, the look that he gave me made my throat go dry in an instant.
His brown eyes looked almost black in the distant streetlight and the hunger in them made me swallow hard as I felt this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach.
Devon reached out to place a hand under my chin and lift up my face the slightest. “I’m too aroused right now.” His voice had turned down an octave, causing it to become even huskier, almost harsh. “Help me take off some of the thrill?”
I swallowed once again, trying to comprehend what he was asking.
Aroused? Take off the thrill?
This wasn’t how I had planned things to work out…but damnit! After hearing it from him…how was I ever going to refuse that offer?
My eyes instinctively went to the bulge in his pants that I hadn't noticed until then, my I felt my eyes widen from the sheer size of it. Since when had he been like that?
“How long…?” I looked up into his eyes, unable to complete that sentence because my throat was drier than the Sahara’s.
“Since the moment you got into my car.” His smirk was cunning enough to make heat rise to my cheeks, but I couldn’t move away my face because he was still holding my chin, forcing me to keep eye-contact. “Since I figured out you were interested.”
“I…I didn’t…know you like men…?” I said stupidly, which should’ve been obvious by now. Because even though he might have given me that offer on a joke, that arousal stated otherwise. He was definitely interested…and he definitely had experience.
“I’m bisexual.” He stated, his fingers moving to cup the back of my neck. “I can like both men and women…but right now, you seem more than appealing to me. So?”
So? I wanted this didn’t I? I wanted to see if this crush I had on him was something I just wanted to try out or if it was something I was actually into…right?
Night was openly gay. He knew he liked men. But I wasn’t so sure…I wasn’t sure about this or about myself.
But now that I was here…sitting right in front of Devon, with him offering something that I had always wanted to make sure…how could I possibly say no?
So I raised my arm to place it on Devon’s nape, feeling the warmth of his body immediately as I brought my face closer to his…and crashed my lips onto his in a desperate kiss that made me gasp as a spark of electricity ignited the deepest darkest desires hidden inside of me and set my blood on fire.
