Matthew’s Secret

"Are you out of your mind?" Simon whisper yelled. "I wouldn't dream of crossing Damien for a piece of ass."

"You are a pussy yourself Simon. Have you seen the boy? Don't you wanna sink your cock in that bubble butt?" Said Matthew, his face reflecting lust.

It was during night after dinner when Hazel, Matthew and Simon gathered together. Their topic of discussion was Liam.

"I still say we wait, what you are suggesting is not only dangerous but stupid. Why would you want to poke the demon?"

Hazel remained silent, she didn't need to speak as Matthew was already batting for her team. She sensed there was some other ulterior motive behind Matthew's eagerness as he readily agreed to carry out her plan. She secretly agreed with Simon that no pussy was good enough to go against Damien. But Matthew was adamant. She had to find out why Matthew was willing to take such risks. Her shrewd, calculative mind sensed something and she wanted to dig deeper.

Hazel watched Matthew clenched his jaw. "Don't be a chicken Simon. Hazel's plan would work out and Damien will pay. Liam would be ours." He fumed.

Hazel smiled sweetly at Matthew. "I understand you are eager to fuck Liam, but what's with payback to Damien? What did the boss do?"

She watched with satisfaction as colour drained from Matthew's face. Simon was curious too as he too asked Matthew, "what's your deal man? I don't want to get myself into trouble."

"Nothing that concerns you," said Matthew as he stormed off that place leaving a confused Simon and curious Hazel standing.

Dinner was an awkward and silent affair between Damien and Liam that night, each immersed in their own thoughts. Liam couldn't believe himself that he tried to stop Damien. What was more unbelievable that Damien actually refrained himself from killing Adrian. Liam didn't mean to stop Damien, but he was actually scared. He acted on pure impulse by grabbing Damien's sleeve trying to stop him. What if Damien killed him instead in his rage? He shuddered at the thought.

And what was that kiss? It was different from how Damien had kissed him before. It was gentle and soft, more of an assurance than passion and lust. It left Liam confused as his lips still tingled from that kiss. Damien had toned down a little but he was still dominating and overbearing. He expected complete obedience and submission from Liam. So his sudden gentleness left Liam puzzled.

Damien in the meantime was in his own thoughts as he silently ate his dinner. He was absolutely certain that Adrian wouldn't let this go. He knew Adrian had already started plotting on how to get back to him. He got his cruel side from his father. They were both vindictive. Damien knew Adrian wouldn't be able to directly cause him harm. He had the company in his iron-hold. He was already surrounded by guards and Damien trusted Jacob since he had proved his worth many times in the past. His eyes fell on Liam as he silently watched the boy eating dinner in shy small bites. Only way Adrian could get him was through Liam. But Liam wouldn't be venturing outside anytime soon.

Damien was slowly changing his security and already taken measures by appointing Luke. But he needed to be more cautious as he still couldn't find the main culprit behind his surveillance glitch.

Finishing dinner Damien wiped his mouth with the napkin. After the maids cleared their plates. He looked at Liam.

"Come with me," he simply said already getting up. Liam followed him obediently. Reaching the end of the corridor Damien halted in-front of a huge ornately designed wooden door. Two security guards followed him as usual. Even in his own house Damien needed to be on toes until he apprehended the culprit.

Liam watched Damien signalling the guards to open the door of the room in front of them. Damien entered first and crooked his fingers at Liam silently asking him to enter. Liam had only ever been to Damien's room where he was locked up most of the day. He also went to the dining room for his meals only when Damien was with him. Other than that he visited Damien's red room on that cursed night. Confused Liam entered the room following Damien.

Wow, thought Liam surprised. The room was the biggest library he had ever seen. There were racks after racks of books neatly stacked. The room smelled of old and new papers and ink. It was Liam's most favourite smell. He looked at Damien with hopeful eyes, his big brown eyes reflecting questions. He didn't want to misjudge Damien's intentions. Just to be sure he asked, "Ummmm, I … ummm, may I perhaps borrow some books?"

"No I brought you here so that I can fuck you against the book shelves, I enjoy library sex you know," deadpanned Damien rolling his eyes.

Liam's face instantly turned into a deep shade of red. "Of course you may borrow books silly boy. Didn't you say you love reading?" Said Damien amused. The boy's reactions were too predictable. Just a bare minimum teasing and he turns into a ripe tomato.

"Adler will help you to choose what you need" he said pointing at the white haired butler who silently stood behind them. "Do not leave this room till I am back, you understand Liam?" Questioned Damien.

"Yes I understand" said Liam, his face a little brighter, eyes a little shinier. Damien looked at the two guards and gestured one of them to stay put while the other followed him out. As soon as Damien was out of the room he took out his phone and called Jacob.

Jacob answered almost immediately. "Yes sir?"he enquired.

"Arrange a meeting with Mr. Desmond now. You have fifteen minutes" said Damien hanging up the phone heading towards his office.

Jacob came exactly with thirteen minutes twenty seven seconds followed by Luke. The two men walked in and stood silently in-front of Damien's work desk facing the man himself who looked like a king sitting on his throne.

Damien observed Luke silently as if dissecting him piece by piece. His gaze was piercing looking deep into his very soul. Damien had seen men who had been smug and arrogant before, reduced to a nervous puddle in-front of him. But Luke met his Damien's soul piercing gaze with an unwavering gaze of his own. His features relaxed and almost mocking. The two wolves stared at each other eyes challenging as if sizing up their opponents. Damien decided instantly that he liked Luke. At least he was not flinching under his scrutiny. He needed someone strong to guard his treasure.

"From now you are tasked to guard Liam, day and night whenever I am not with him. If there is one scratch on his body, even if he trips on his own you will not live to see the next morning."

"Yes sir." Luke gave a short reply his voice strong and confident.

"Good, You start at 9 tomorrow." Said Damien getting up and already dismissing Jacob and Luke.

When he reached the library he saw Liam engaged in an animated conversation with Adler. While Liam was trying to explain something to Adler arms throwing wildly, cheeks puffed, eyes wild and sparking Adler looked like desperately trying not to laugh.

"What's going on?" Asked Damien amused. He watched Liam's face instantly turned alert, his smile vanishing as he looked down. His face strangely flustered, the tips of his ears turning red.

"Ah, master Liam wanted to read books on werewolves, to be precise love stories between the supernaturals." Said Adler trying to maintain a straight face. "But unfortunately we do not have story books much less romantic books of any kind, master Liam was looking for Mangas.

Damien mirrored Adler's expression, he himself trying not to laugh. "What kind of books do we have then?" He asked, though he knew the answer. He mostly read books on business illustrations, current politics and such. "What is a Manga?" He asked Liam confused.

"A comic book, mostly from Japan." Said Liam shyly keeping the explanation to minimum.

"Hmmm, and you love reading romantic books?" Asked Damien.

"N..no, yyeess" said Liam stammering.

"Follow me" said Damien a true smile lacing his lips as he walked inside the brightly lit room further, followed by a curious Liam and equally confused Adler. They reached almost at the back of the room when Damien halted in-front of a dusty looking shelf. He reached out with his hands and pulled out few books from the top of the shelves. Chaffing with his hands to get rid of the dust settled on the books he offered them to Liam. "They are not your usual mangas, nor do they have magical creatures humping each other but give these a try." He said dropping the books on Liam's outstretched arms.

"Go back to your room, I still have some work to finish." He said.

Liam nodded as usual agreeing to whatever Damien instructed and went back to his, rather Damien's room carrying the books followed by the security.

Later that night when Damien reached his room he saw Liam fast asleep. He was sprawled on the bed sleeping peacefully, one of the books lying open on his chest. Damien trailed his eyes down and licked his lips when he saw Liam's T-shirt had ridden up exposing his smooth soft belly. Damien approached Liam lust burning him like a dormant volcano suddenly awakened. He had given Liam enough time. Tonight he intended to ravish the boy again. He slowly moved the book from his chest and hovered above Liam drinking in the boy's beauty. Tonight was the night to relish Liam again. Tonight he would taste what was his.
