Part XLIV

The guard was right, the lord was one crazy piece of trash and Joel was at his will. Joel's mind went blank. He didn't know what to say right now. How could he turn this situation to his advantage?

"That's an honest expression you are making right now." The lord sat down and covered himself.

"You are smart, you show me fake affection and interest out of fear. You act obediently and submissive because you know I like it. However all that is fake, only the fear on your face is real." The lord touched Joel's face.

Joel didn't know what to say, there was no point denying it. That would only pissed that fucker more.

"The funny thing about it is that I started enjoying all that fake attention you are giving me. What is more I learned I look forward to what you will do next. You keep surprising me. And as much as I like to pretend I don't notice, I realized I want it to be true." The lord lowered his gaze for a moment then took the cup of wine standing on a table next to the bed. After a moment of silence he continued.

"You are just like a stray cat, beautiful but ready to run away at the slightest sign of threat. I want to domesticate and tame you. I want you to get excited when I come back, to lean to my touch. I want to see you getting hard at the bare thought of me. That's what I want. The thought that someone else has touched you before makes me feel uncomfortable, but I will purify your body with mine. Every day we will move a bit further as I want our relationship to develop."

Joel hoped his face didn't reveal any more expression except of fear. The whole idea was simply disgusting. Feelings cannot be forced and Joel hated the bare thought of him making out with the lord.

"So you see, I have fallen for your filthy tricks, you won my pretty one. I even gave up and enjoyed these dirty carnal pleasures you offered." The lord leaned closer and placed a light kiss on Joel's lips. "I will be generous and won't punish you, today. Starting tomorrow we will work harder on our relationship."

The lord laid down and pulled Joel. Joel felt how the lord was hugging him and spooning. Joel knew he won't be able to fall asleep for a long time tonight.

Joel woke up early, last night he was confessed by the lord. Well it was the weirdest confession in his life. He needs to run away, or he will go crazy. He isn't some weak creature, he is young but he was in bad situations before. He is good with knives, excellent at riding and knows how to deal with people. He is here because he allowed the fear to rule upon his actions. Today he will go for a ride with that horse. That horse was the fastest there, Joel knew this breed. As soon as he sits on that horse nobody will be able to stop him.

Joel freed himself from the lord's embrace. He looked at the lord's sleeping face. He had sharp facial features, dark complexion and long silky black hair. He wasn't as well built as the duke but every part of him had muscles. That lord had to practice every day. He sent with one punch a tall man to the ground. Joel was no match. Joel's strength was his agility. First he has to find a knife. He needs that to protect himself.

"Why are you watching me?" The lord said it without opening his eyes. Joel wasn't even surprised.

"You don't look angry when you sleep." He answered simply.

The lord opened his eyes and looked at Joel sitting next to him.

"Serve me just like yesterday, I want to be in the center of your attention every moment of the day. I want you to think about me and only me."

"As you wish." Joel stood up. The whole procedure from yesterday was repeated. Joel dressed in black with those fucking earrings was sitting opposite to lord Morrice.

"I will be busy the whole morning but after lunch I will have time for you."

"My lord, could we go for a ride together? Even a short one." Joel was begging that asshole with his eyes.

"A ride? What will I get in return?" The lord smirked and leaned back into his chair.

Joel stood up, desperate times called for desperate measures. He sat down on the lord's lap and kissed his lips,even liked his lips making the lord open his mouth. Joel closed his eyes and went along. The lord grabbed Joel's head and the kiss became deeper and more fierce. Joel pushed the lord catching his breath. The lord's gaze was dark and full of desire. He kissed Joel's neck before he calmed down.

"You once told me you were a well trained slut. I was thinking about what you were able to do. That moment I decided you will be mine sooner or later so I can enjoy you just like now. Know my kindness, we will go for a ride. You and me. This will be my reward for you." The lord stroked his cheek. Joel leaned to lord's touch.

"Thank you."

"Your behavior makes it hard for me to leave." Joel decided to use this sentence as a hint. He got up from lord's lap.

"I shouldn't stop you my lord, I know you are busy."

Lord Morrice stood up as well.

"I will hurry up to come back as soon as I can." The lord was leaving when Joel grabbed his hand.

"May I ask the kitchen to prepare us something to eat, we could take the food with us and have a picnic?" Joel looked expectantly at the lord.

"Fine, we can do that. You can organize it." The lord leaned and kissed Joel shortly.

Joel was left alone so he went to the bathroom. On his neck there was a nasty hickey. He washed his face, mouth and decided to put his words into action. Time for his grand escape.

The guard, it was a new one, walked with him to the kitchen. Joel didn't know him.

"Where is Fin?" He asked casually.

"Don't know, Fin was taken yesterday evening by Lord's order. I don't know where."

The whole blood drenched from Joel's face.
