Upon seeing Zenos leisurely leaning on the bed, Hayden’s face turned grim and cold. He knew Zenos didn't have any intention to bring him downstairs, and Zenos wanted him to walk down himself. Clearly, someone wanted to show offHayden snorted, held on to the wall, and carefully limped toward the door. His face was red, and his lips parted in a gasp for breath. Hayden had just twisted the doorknob when he was suddenly swept off his feet and bridal-carried. Hayden’s eyes lit up, and he exhaled in joy. Luckily, he doesn’t have to descend the stairs himself. The thought of doing so made his legs tremble. Regardless of Hayden’s thoughts, Hayden’s expression was cold to the bone, and he ignored Zenos nonchalantly. As soon as Zenos descended the stairs, Hayden was placed on his feet, and Zenos used his chin to motion Hayden to continue himself. Immediately, Zeno strode into the kitchen.Hayden almost faltered. Must Zenos be so petty? Clearly, Zenos could bring him to the living room before
The instant Zenos and Hayden got into the car, familiar soft lips fell on Hayden's lips and captured Hayden's lip in a fierce kiss. Hayden wrapped his hands around Zenos’ neck and smiled.It wasn't until Zenos discovered that the boy was almost out of breath that Zenos reluctantly parted from Hayden.Hayden leaned onto Zenos. He extended his hands and traced his swollen lips with his fingers. "Why are you jealous?" He inquired.Shouldn't he be the one who's eating vinegar? Why was it Zenos instead?Zenos grabbed Hayden's fingers and placed a gentle kiss on them. He cupped Hayden's cheeks and stroked Hayden's face. "Everything about you is worthy to be jealous of. Especially when there's Mia who keeps looking for a chance to get you back..."Hayden's expression changed, and he pursed his lips in grievance. "She never owns me." He hugged Zenos and clarified, "Don't talk like I was once hers."Zenos's lips curved up, and he placed a soft kiss on Hayden's nose. "Hm."Minutes later, the ca
PROLOGUEYears back On the outskirts of the city, the road was deserted with hardly any cars passing by except an expensive car that was parked near the road. Heavy rain was falling, and it was very chilly that late afternoon. “Mom! Please don't leave!” A little boy of 6 years who was just dropped from an expensive car cried out, he was afraid of the things to come if his mother dumped him in an unknown and deserted place where there appears to be no signs of humans. The little boy was a bit thin and malnourished, he was dressed in dirty and worn-out clothing from head to toe, but that couldn't even hide his handsome and noble expression. He cried out pitifully with tears streaming down his handsome little face. He was trying to pull the woman's gown, but the woman looked unfazed, dressed in expensive luxury from up to down, she coldly pushed the small boy away with contempt and disgust written on her face while the guards watched everything nonchalantly. The woman pushed the boy
“When is that little doctor coming back?” Zenos questioned as he made his way to the club's private lobby calmly amidst ambient lighting, blasting music, making out couples, dancing and sweating bodies, etc. He coldly ignored the people who were batting their eyes at him seductively. Thinking that it would help Zenos relax and let out steam as the search engine said; Zenos's friends decided to drag him to a popular club in the city to make him lose his composure and probably act like the teen he is or hopefully finds someone who'd catch his eyes.“Michael is older than you!” Jude interrupted with amusement, making Zenos scoff at him. A dancing girl passed by them while throwing a flirtatious gaze.“He should be back before next week, his seminar has been extended,” Sean said calmly while eating a banana. David and Jude shook their heads at Sean's eating fruit habit, but it's known among them that messing with Sean's fruit is equal to looking for death, which made them unable to do a
The loud noise didn't resonate well with Hayden, but the excitement pictured on Andy's face made him keep his shut. Besides, he'll be meeting Rose, the girl he has been courting for almost 2 weeks in a few minutes which made him a little eager. Suddenly, Hayden's whole body screamed alert as he felt like he was being watched by an intense gaze. After being occasionally targeted, he tends to know when danger is near, but subconsciously he found himself relaxing because the gaze doesn't mean danger, instead it kind of brings a safe feeling to him. Hayden lifted his head to look in the direction of the intense gaze, but seeing numerous people and the inability to see those people's faces, he turned and walked away while holding Andy's hand.“Invite to the dancing room. Mr., be my partner!” Andy said with a laugh as he bowed playfully. Hayden smacked Andy's hand away. “Be serious”. Hayden warned coldly and then dragged him towards the bartender amidst dancing bodies and a flirtatio
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 Hayd
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?”. Zenos accused, making the multiple feelings coursing through Hayden disperse as he began to blush in embarrassment.“Never, I didn't say it!” Hayden cried out in denial, flustered. He glared at Zenos for making him lose the composure he was trying to gather easily.“You don't like to admit it, do you?” Zenos was able to point out Hayden's behavior easily.“It's true that it was not beneficial to me. My back was the one not functioning now, not yours.” He complained in annoyance.“Unbeneficial to you, you said again?” Zenos strides toward Hayden, who's glaring at him, and holds his (H) chin with a dark expression. “You have lots of courage, young boy.”“Stop calling me a young boy,” Hayden said irritatedly and smacked Zenos's hand away. “Don't act as if you're that much older
When Hayden saw Zenos enter the bathroom, Hayden immediately tried to sit up, but the pain that shot down his spine made him cry out in pain. “Damn Zenos. It hurts!”As soon as Hayden managed to climb down the bed and stand up, he cried out in pain, he held and slowly rubbed his paining waist. Hayden's legs were shaking, his behind was painful and throbbing. He felt dizzy and weak, which caused him to collapse to the ground. The intense pain caused tears to drop from his eyes and without knowing he really started crying. Why? How come? He and a stranger. His eyes traced the used condoms on the floor, the used condoms that were used on him. Hayden's right hand made its way to his hair. His heart began to beat faster as he slowly tried to arrange his thoughts. He disliked gays ever since that incident, but how come he wasn't disgusted by Zenos's? Don't tell him that he wasn't straight from the beginning. No, he shook his head and cleaned his tears. Last night he still felt irritate
