Hayden can't help thinking if that man was the real predator and just pretended to be his knight last night.
Hayden's brows soon furrowed at his stupid thought. What was he thinking? How can a man be a man's knight? He started scolding himself inwardly.
“You've forgotten?” The stranger finally replied to the blond with a pale face question but with a chilling voice, furrowed brows, and a cold expression that made no sense to Hayden.
Why is he annoyed at him? Hayden thought. Shouldn't he be the one who should be angry that he was taken advantage of when he was drunk? He glared at the stranger.
Zenos solemnly stared at the boy who they had both rolled around in the sheet last night, to think that the boy did not remember everything he said and did, annoyed and pained him even if they just met last night, and it was a one-night stand.
Hayden's mouth turns dry, and shivers run through his spine with the cold tone the stranger uses to talk to him. Just two words sent chills down Hayden's spine, but his boiling anger isn't giving him any chances to show fragility.
“You bastard, how dare you violate a straight man?” He was angry. His fear turned into horror and then anger as he realized that a strange handsome man who he mocked for acting like a knight actually bedded him while he was drunk. He wasn't a girl, and he was very straight! How dare he?
“A straight man?” the man asked and scoffed in amusement as if what Hayden just said was funny. “You! Straight?” He pointed at Hayden in disbelief and let out a chuckle again.
“When you wrapped your hand around my waist last night, I didn't see any sign of straightness. When you were rubbing against me last night, you didn't think so. When you asked me to kiss you… When you…” Zenos countered back with a cold expression.
Hayden subconsciously covered the stranger's mouth with his hand to cut off whatever the stranger was about to say next.
Hayden felt embarrassed at all the stranger said he did. His cold expression slipped, and his ears turned bright red. He immediately bowed his head to hide the red on his face. He wished the earth could just open up and swallow him.
Furthermore, he felt so flustered and annoyed when he heard that he was the one who seduced the handsome stranger that he couldn't help but stop the man from finishing the word until the end.
“Ow!” Hayden suddenly exclaimed and quickly pulled his hand away as the stranger used the chance that he(H) covered the stranger's mouth with his (H) palm to kiss and nibble on Hayden's soft palm, making Hayden glare at him in annoyance. Pervert!
Hayden turned his head to the other side and cursed himself inwardly… How can he act so shamelessly and unrestrained while drunk, until he seduces a handsome pervert? He blamed the alcohol for messing up his mind and his drunk self, but still, how will that man not know that he was drunk? He could remember he kept calling Rose repeatedly last night, can that man deny not hearing that? The hell! How would that man not know he was straight? He didn't even look like he was bent.
Hayden's fighting spirit was immediately ignited as he wanted to win against the stranger at least once, so he turned his head to the man again. “You could have just stopped me or thrown me away! You know I was drunk.” He said and glared at the man accusingly.
“Drunk?” The stranger scoffed and spat out coldly with blazing eyes. “You f***ing cling onto my neck and kissed my neck telling me you want it, you grabbed it yourself,” Zenos said domineeringly and began to move closer.
Hayden suddenly felt afraid of this side of the stranger that he couldn't help but shift backward due to nervousness.
“No one was able to carry you away from me. You were throwing tantrums, licking my neck, kissing me, rubbing yourself on me, and begging for me. I'm an active guy and…”
Hayden found himself at the edge of the bed, any movement, and he'd fall to the ground. He can't risk his almost broken back, waist, and behind. Especially his behind. No, what he meant was all his body!
He felt stupid and shameless after hearing all he had done last night. He cursed alcohol and himself multiple times before promising not to take one in the future.
Furthermore, he cleared his throat and spoke up, even though his body was trembling slightly in fear due to the darkened expression on the stranger's face.
“What's done is done! Let's just forget it!” He said and acted nonchalantly, even though he was cowering in fear because something was telling him that the stranger in front of him didn't intend to let go.
The man's frown increases and Hayden swears that the temperature in the room increases multiple times. After winning over his heart and stealing his first, this boy wanted to avoid responsibility, which made Zenos annoyed. “You want to run away from me?” He asked in annoyance, and suddenly Hayden found himself under the man without even knowing how.
“I'm just…” Hayden wasn't able to finish his words before he was domineeringly kissed by the stranger.
Zenos used his left hand to pin Hayden's hand on top of Hayden's head effortlessly. Hayden tried to struggle and blocked the stranger's tongue from dominating his mouth by pressing his lips against each other stubbornly, but the man unexpectedly bit Hayden's bottom lips, making Hayden yelp in pain. The man used that chance to clean all the taste of strawberries in Hayden's mouth, while his right hand continued to stroke Hayden's body wantonly.
When Hayden was starting to go dizzy due to shortness of breath, he was released by the man's assault. He breathed in and out rapidly and thanked heaven for the chance to live again.
“You can't run away from me… You are mine” Zenos growled into Hayden's neck possessively.
Hayden felt a shiver run through his spine after hearing the stranger's words. His breath hitched as the man licked his earlobe and kissed his neck with extreme familiarity, domineeringly. “Mine,” the stranger proclaimed again.
The stranger gave a low curse word and rolled off Hayden's shivering sensitive body, “I'll spare you because you're still in pain. You won't be as lucky next time” he said and lifted Hayden's chin to peck him one more time while Hayden stared dumbfounded.
As if thunderstruck, Hayden's inner self yelled as if he was finally enlightened, 'Next time?' Hayden's eyes widened in horror. 'What did the stranger mean next time? Shouldn't it be just a one-night stand? Shouldn't they forget everything in the morning?'
Zenos got down from the bed and said to Hayden, oblivious to Hayden's thoughts. “Remember, my name is Zenos… I don't want to hear you screaming, Rose, next time,” he said and walked into the bathroom. So, this handsome bastard's name is Zenos… Hayden felt like he was screwed. Did he just f*** with a dominating pervert?
'The hell!' Hayden mouthed, and his eyes widened in shock as his eyes stared at Zenos's third leg. That monstrously big thing was the one who opened him last night? How come his yelling didn't shake the city? He thought in bewilderment. He can now understand why he's in pain presently! Hayden said to himself bitterly.
“Keep staring, and I won't hesitate to feed you one more time!” Zenos said to Hayden, which sent a chill down Hayden's spine.
“Pervert!” Hayden cursed in annoyance.
Hayden felt shamed, and his anger was boiling at the realization that the perverted blue-eyed man explored his behind channel last night. He was so annoyed that he just wanted to scatter something to let off anger, to even think this man has a poisonous tongue that kept making his blood boil hotter.
“Hey, Zenos! What do you mean next time?” Hayden's shout interrupted Zenos making him turn back to look at Hayden.
“Isn't it just a one-night stand? Shouldn't we part ways in the morning? To think of it, it's beneficial to you while I'm the one at loss!” Hayden tried to suppress the multiple feelings coursing through him as he analyzed calmly.
And that's when he suddenly remembered Aria. In one of the novels that Aria, Andy's sister, forced him to read, there was a one-night stand scene, but didn't the man act like a total jerk and didn't take responsibility, how come this person wants him? Just like he thought things that happened in stories are really untrue.
Zenos scoffed in amusement. “Unbeneficial to you? You're the one at a loss? When did it become your turn to claim those words? Who was the one crying, begging, and panting for more, faster while I do the work?”
Upon hearing a silent and lazy affirmation from a brooding Hayden, Aria quietly twisted the doorknob of Hayden's door as if not to stir the fury of the person lying under the blanket.Aria poked her head in and silently held her breath before stepping into the room. Hayden without Zenos was now a time bomb; one careless move and he would blow up and make one regret it.Aria gritted her teeth as if to motivate herself. She plopped on Hayden's bed and stared at him seriously before saying, "Hayden, I need your help.”Hayden yawned pitifully and cast a lazy glance at Aria before looking away. Who needed more help than Hayden at this moment? How could Hayden help someone when he couldn’t even help himself?The hangover of not seeing Zenos made Hayden unable to do anything. He was besieged by weakness, a headache, and so on. "Can't."Currently, Hayden's hair was as messy as a bird’s nest, his skin pale like a vampire, and he lay on the bed like a salted fish, completely drained of energy.
For two people who had always clung to each other, living without each other became something they couldn't get used to.A certain young master, Hayden, was unable to sleep that night! Hayden kept checking his cell phone, hoping Zenos would call or send him a text like Zenos had always done in the past.Unfortunately, none of that happened. The sad Hayden couldn’t help but burst into tears and began to bawl pitifully when he received no notification from Zenos, even until midnight. Isn’t Zenos too cruel, huh? How can Zenos treat him this way? How can it be so easy for Zenos?Zenos’s heart clenched with a deep piercing pain and disappointment.Since when has Hayden been unsatisfied with him? If Hayden finds Zenos’s actions selfish and bothersome, the boy could have let him know. He shouldn't have to hear the boy's dissatisfaction toward him outside their home.Did Hayden find Zenos that annoying? Did Hayden dislike Zenos so much that Zenos still disgusts Hayden? If so, why did Hayden c

Upon seeing the sadness exuding from Hayden and Hayden’s reddened eyes, Craig’s brows furrowed, and he pressed his lips in a line, completely filled with astonishment. "Why are you doing this?"It seemed Hayden really had a fondness for masochism. Hayden clearly missed Zenos, yet he was the one who ran away when Zenos came to pick him up. Would it kill Hayden to give Zenos attention and talk things out?They really couldn’t understand what was going on since Hayden didn’t tell them anything.Earlier, they had thought the fault lay with Zenos when Hayden bellowed his sadness after the issue with Nougat. However, seeing Hayden’s stubbornness and Zenos’s usual actions made them want to rethink. Could it be…"Hmph!” Hayden harrumphed fiercely and blinked the tears away. He turned to Craig, glared at him fiercely, and retorted, “What am I doing?"Hayden sulked and crossed his arms childishly, clearly pretending not to know what Craig was talking about—or refusing to admit his actions.Maso
Jack’s eyes glinted with an evil light, and a wicked smirk appeared on his face. He leaned back against the chair, completely relaxed, and uttered, “His men will be transporting some illegal stuff through the water by next week. The security will be strict, but I have a plan on how to breach it.” Just thinking about the plans made his eyes shine with a mischievous glint. Ah. This type of fun life—it had been a while since he experienced it last.Zenos’s eyes fell on his wristwatch before shifting his gaze back to the document he was holding. He threw the document on the table and impatiently pronounced, "Anything else?"Before Zenos left the mansion that morning, he had written a note and placed it on the bedstand for the boy, because that would be easier for the boy to see.Zenos hoped Hayden had read it and that his anger had reduced toward Zenos before he left for school that morning. Also, knowing the little thinker he had, the boy wouldn’t misunderstand.Jack eagerly leaned forwa
“Zen,” Hayden muttered, rolled, and extended his hand as if to roll into Zenos’s embrace and hugged him tight—all his actions subconscious. Unfortunately, what Hayden was rewarded with was a cold bed and no presence of Zenos.Hayden’s brows suddenly knitted, but in the next moment, his eyes flew wide open and landed on the empty bed. Hayden’s heart turned cold immediately.Waking up to an empty and cold bed was something Hayden hadn’t envisioned that early morning. Even though Hayden had been the one to tell Zenos to leave the room last night in a fit of anger, Hayden never expected that Zenos would do as he ordered.Hayden had believed that even if Zenos left in his presence, Zenos would sneak back into the room and do his beastly thing so that Hayden would know that he was in the room, like he had always done in the past—examples were those nights that Zenos was banned from entering the room. But this time—Judging by the cold and clean bed, Zenos didn’t spend the night here, not to
