Master (MxB) novel Chapter 12

Corey's POV

Don't look Corey, just don't look, I keep repeating this to myself as I sit down at the kitchen counter to eat my breakfast that Hayden had cooked for me.

Today was my first day back to school after the attack and I was nervous as hell. I could already see the looks and hear the whispers from the other kids. Thank God for Tana, at least I will have her there to help me cope.

But now to get back to my current situation. I woke up, got ready for school, then came down to eat some breakfast before Hayden would take me to school on his way to his office.

The problem that I have to currently deal with was a very gorgeous Hayden standing on the other side of the counter in a pair of black trousers that hung low on his hips and a pale blue button up shirt, but the buttons weren't actually buttoned up.

It hung open, showing off his beautifully sculpted chest and abs, his skin tanned and smooth. Also, he was barefoot. The full image had such an impact on me, that I felt my breath lodge in my throat and I had to force my eyes to look somewhere else and remind myself to breathe.

While I sat at the counter, we made small talk but I tried my very best to not look at him directly.

I don't know why, but I was starting to think he was doing this deliberately. Since the day of the barbecue, he has been walking around the house in just his jeans or shorts, or like he was right now, with his shirt hanging open. The man was hot as fucking hell and he knew it too. He thought I didn't see his little smirks when he caught me sneaking glances at him, but I did.

The biggest problem I had, was figuring out why he was doing it. What was he hoping for? Just a quick lay, some sort of agreement for me staying here? I didn't know, so I tried my best to ignore it and pretend that I wasn't affected.

But if he carried on like this, especially after last night, I didn't know how much longer I would be able to hold on.

I got lost in my memories of last night and didn't quite realize that Hayden was still talking to me.

I had just finished my shower and gotten into bed, when he knocked on my door. I quickly glanced down at my bare chest, and my boxer briefs and pulled the comforter over my lower half.

I only ever slept in my underwear, I hated sleeping in a t-shirt or shorts. It usually wasn't a problem, as Hayden always says goodnight earlier in the evening, before I have my shower.

Unfortunately for me though, he had some things to sort out last night and I was getting very tired and knew I had school today, so I went for my shower and was just about to switch off my light to go to sleep

Anyway, after he had knocked and I had pulled the comforter over me, I called for him to come in, and that is when my heart completely stopped inside my chest.

He was practically naked! All he had on his entire body, was his trainers on his feet and a short pair of gym shorts. Thats. Fucking. It. That is literally all he had on.

I quickly closed my gaping mouth and looked down at my hands that were resting over my lap. I could feel myself getting hard and tried to will my erection to go down, but then the fucker came and sat down on the bed, right next to me.

"I see you are ready for bed, I won't keep you too long. I just wanted to tell you that Greg and I will drop you off at school in the morning, on our way to work, than I will send Greg to fetch you once you are done for the day and you can spend the rest of the day at my office, if you want. Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to. I can always get Greg to drop you off at home after school." He quickly rushed out and my eyes snapped up to his.

Big mistake. I caught his eyes moving over my exposed upper body, before he moved them up to my face slowly. He just grinned when he realized he had been caught out and his eyes were sparkling with mischief. I also now had the added hardship of trying to look in his eyes, instead of down his body, which was damn hard to do.

He wasn't in my room long, but he left behind some serious side effects, like my erection that just wouldn't go down. Needless to say my dreams were very steamy after that.

I was still lost in my memories, when I suddenly came back to the present when fingers clicked in front of my face.

"Orey...Corey, Corey!" I snapped back to the present and Hayden was looking at me with a worried frown on his face.

I looked at him in confusion, till he put a plate down in front of me. "You were so lost in your thoughts, Corey. What were you thinking about so hard?" He asked and my face flamed bright red.

"Um..um...just thinking how everything will be at school today." I quickly made up, although technically it wasn't a lie. I was worried about today.

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, before looking down at his own plate of food, even though I caught the small smile pulling at his lips.

"Try not to worry about it too much. You will have Tana with you, as well as your assigned security, who will be in the school parking lot all day. So if anything does happen, just squeeze the pendant on this and it will send a signal to your guard, Ryan, as well as myself. It's got a tracking device so I know you are safe at all times." As he said this, he held out a beautiful gold chain, with a pendant, which was a cross. I absolutely loved it.

We had spoken a lot over the past few weeks, especially about Father and how scared I was that he would try something, especially after the incident with the guy that came into my room, so I knew he was doing this to keep me safe and I appreciated it so much.

I reached out to take it, but he pulled his hand back and walked around the counter, till he was standing in front of me. I couldn't help myself as my eyes skimmed over his abs and pecs as he came to a stop in front of me.

I forcefully pulled my eyes away from his body and looked up at him, only to realizes I had been caught out once again. He had a proud smirk on his face and I felt mine flush in embarrassment.

I quickly lowered my eyes and heard a soft chuckle rumbling through him and my flushed face went an even deeper shade of red.

"Don't hide baby, I really don't mind you looking" he teased. That's when I finally realized something fully, the fucker was teasing me, had been since last week.

Well, if that's how you want to play mister, then let's play, I thought to myself. I mean, how hard could it be, right?

I looked up at him and smiled at him as innocently as I could. "Well, in that case..." And I let my eyes run over his body, showing my full appreciation for the perfection that was Hayden Lawson. I didn't say anymore than that, but by the way Hayden's eyes almost bulged out of his sockets, I could tell he wasn't expecting such a bold move from me.

To be honest, I was a bit shocked by myself as well and just like that, my bravado disappeared and I blushed again, while looking down.

I felt his body heat radiating towards me as he stepped closer to me and I had to swallow down a whimper of need. I wanted this man with every fiber of my being, but I was so scared of being hurt again.

He took the chain and clasped it behind my neck, then running his fingers over the fine gold jewelry with a look in his eyes that I couldn't quite explain. He almost looked wistful and I was just about to ask him if he was okay, but he turned away from me and went back to the other side of the counter. I was left confused and maybe just a bit disappointed, but I pushed it aside.

I looked down at the beautiful cross, lifting it off my chest as I admired it. It made me think as I looked down at the pendant. "Do you ever think God really hates gay people, Hayden? " I asked. It was something I wondered about quite a lot.

Hayden seemed to think about it for a minute, before he smiled at me. "Why would God hate something he had created? He created all of us, so why would he hate you for who you are born to love? No one is born to hate, we love from the moment we are born, but we are TAUGHT to hate. Hatred is humanity's biggest flaw and it will eventually be our downfall."

Wow, I had never thought about it like that before and what he was saying made sense. I know what the bible said about man laying with man, but then again, the bible was written by man as well, so it made sense that the opinions might be a bit biased.

I shook off the somber mood and smiled at him. "Thank you, no one has ever explained it to me like that before." I mumbled, causing his smile to widen.

"Aww, you're too innocent, love. You want him to snap, because that is when he will fuck you." I started choking on absolutely nothing at her words and I think I might just pop a blood vessel in my head as I blushed and spluttered.

"I-I never s-s-said I w-wanted th-that." I choked out and she burst out laughing at me, doubling over as she clutched her stomach.

"Yeah, and I'm fucking straight. You might not have said it out loud Corey, but I know, deep down in that little heart of yours, you want Mr Lawson's dick as badly as I want to get out of here right now and go see Kendall." Her words had me completely mortified and I quickly looked around, but thankfully no one was around to hear what she had just said.

"Tana!!! Can you please keep it down. Besides, even if I wanted him, there is no proof that he wants me as well." The last part was said a bit dejectedly, but I couldn't help it. I was such a confused mess when it came to Hayden.

"Oh please, I've seen the way he practically eye-fucks you every time he looks at you." She scoffed and I let a giggle slip out at her funny expression. She had one of the most expressive faces I had ever seen, not to mention she was also a massive drama queen.

"Okay, let's say you are right about this, how do I find out for sure?" I asked, now becoming slightly intrigued at the idea.

"So glad you asked, and now, the Master will tell you exactly how to make sure you get your man." She whispered, rubbing her hands together.

I had a feeling I was going to regret asking her as she then went into detail, explaining her plan. My face was red and I was horrified at what she expected me to do.

"Nope, no, no, not gonna happen.. Are you fucking insane?" I asked, shaking my head and backing away from the absolute craziness that was my best friend.

"Don't be such a baby Corey, it will work and you will have Hayden pounding into you faster than you can say, yes please."

I was just about to respond, when the bell rang and we hurriedly made our way to our lockers. My mind was an absolute mess right now and I needed to think through everything, but every time I tried to think about it rationally, I would get flustered and push it away for later.

We passed a lot of kids in the hallways and I could hear the whispers and see the pointed stares, but I was so busy trying to process what Tana had told me, that it didn't bother me in the slightest. Tana told a few people to fuck off, but that was about it for the day, and before I knew it, I was making my way out the school, to the parking lot, where Greg was already waiting for me.

I could feel my heart pounding away in my chest and I tried some breathing exercises to calm myself down. It helped, right up until I made my way to the top floor of his building and was told by Kendall to just go ahead into his office, he was expecting me. She then hurried down the hallway, and I saw her slip into a room further down

I was a bit hesitant, but then moved and opened the door, and my breath left my body in a rush.

Hayden was standing in front of the massive windows, with a gorgeous vies of the city. But what made me breathless, wasn't the view of the city. It was the view of Hayden in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs.

"Um...um..sorry, I'll w-wait outside." I stuttered out and I was just about to turn and leave, when his voice stopped me.

"No need for that Corey, we're both guys. I just spilled some coffee on my clothes, so I'm waiting for Kendall to bring me a spare set of clothing. I usually keep extra clothing down the hall, in case of something like this happening, I'm just glad the coffee was already cold." I almost believed his story, till I looked into his eyes. They sparkled with veiled heat and pure mischief. He knew exactly what he was doing. Everything Tana had said was true.

I smiled as there was a knock on the door and I opened it for Kendall. She handed me Hayden's clothing and winked at me.

I looked over at the man who was hell-bent on torturing me. I smiled at him and thought to myself, Well, two can play at your little game Mr Lawson. Game on!

I was going to see just how many buttons I could push on the man in front of me.
