Out of Shape

"I see you forgot your shoes." Ethan looked at Jayden in surprise and then back down at his bare feet.

"Should I go put some on?" Jayden simply shook his head, motioning him over. Ethan quickly moved to sit beside him, looking at the food in front of him.

He was busy reading a book while eating the grapes he had, not bothering to put it down. He also had an omelet in front of him and a glass of water. The same thing was soon placed in front of him and he brightened at the sight.

"Thank you!" He happily ate the food given to him, moaning at the flavor.

"Good?" Jayden raised an eyebrow at him as he placed the book down on the table. It was then that Ethan realized his omelet had been left untouched prior. Ethan nodded, the flavor bursting in his mouth. The omelet was not just eggs; it also had spinach, onions, cheese, and ham.

"Were you waiting on me?" Ethan bit his lip as he watched Jayden begin eating his food. Guilt washed over him for having kept the male waiting, normally he ate at eleven, but he had waited so he could sleep in more.

"It's fine, love. You are my priority and I would prefer to make sure you get to eat first." Ethan made a mental note of that, knowing he needed to be ready for when Jayden wanted to eat. The male had a very strict eating schedule it seemed; he was always in the kitchen at seven in the morning for a pre-workout snack. Then, he would eat a small breakfast at nine and once again at eleven for a larger lunch. Dinner was always at six.

"You had breakfast made for lunch?" He asked softly and an amused look flashed across Jayden's face.

"This is your breakfast after all; I had fruit for my breakfast instead." Ethan liked that Jayden seemed to eat extremely healthy and keep to a healthy lifestyle. It gave him a change that he needed even more than he realized. Ethan was beginning to realize that Jayden seemed to enjoy taking care of him.

"You know you don't have to look after me that much. You could have eaten without me." Ethan genuinely felt bad for him having to wait. It was not his responsibility; he had only ever agreed to provide for him which he was doing.

"I mean I am thankful, I really am. I just do not want to be a bother to you."

"Ethan, love, if you are going to be my submissive then yes, it is. As a dom, it is my duty to you to make sure you take care of yourself. Besides, it is something I enjoy very much." Ethan bit his lip, meeting Jayden's eyes for a moment before quickly looking away. He did not want to burden him; the man was already being much too kind. Overnight he had received a large, comfortable bed, more clothing than he could not, three healthy meals a day, and even more.

"I don't mean to be rude but why are you doing all of this? Why me?" Ethan asked softly as he ate his food. He was nervous about the answer, just as he was nervous, he may have upset Jayden.

The male tilted his head, studying the boy before him. It was clear that Ethan did not think he deserved what he was being given. He could not view himself as worthy of receiving what he wanted to give him.

"You were a threat to my business. I wanted to take you out of the playing field. I originally thought perhaps I could simply gain you as a worker in my club. However, when I went to discuss things with your father, I saw you with a client. You did not deserve what was being forced upon you. It angered my even further when your father asked if I would be interested in being the one to take your virginity. He knew who I was; he knew of the wealth I have. I wanted to show you something more." Was all he said before finishing his food and returning to his book. Ethan ate in silence after that, considering what Jayden had said. After Ethan finished his food, Jayden stood.

"I will be going out today, I have a very important business deal to meet for. You can do whatever you would like and if you wish to leave the house, ask Jamison to give you a ride. I will be home rather late and tomorrow, we can do something you want to do; I do not have work." With that, Jayden left. As he passed by, his fingers slid through Ethan's soft hair; he enjoyed playing with his hair. Ethan was not sure what he would do with his spare time; he seemed to have a lot of it lately. Before he was always working, his father did not too often allow him to do anything outside of his work. Either he was pleasing clients, cleaning up, or sleeping.

Ethan decided to go to the gym after giving his food time to digest more. While Jayden had not required him to workout every single day, he wanted to try to get into better shape for the man. Jayden was clearly a man who lived a healthy lifestyle and it did not feel right for Ethan to stay so out of shape.

Especially since he now had the opportunity to better himself. He worked on building his stamina first, taking turns in walking and running on the treadmill.

After he had spent thirty minutes on the treadmill, he moved to the weights section. He felt slightly intimidated by the equipment he was looking at as he had never seen anything like it. He wanted to work on building at least a little muscle but he did not know how to use the equipment. His thoughts shifted…
