Chapter 26. Knight in Shining Armor
From the moment Adam agreed to marry Alex, everything happened so fast-all the events that came after were a messy, confusing blur. Adam felt like he was watching his own life unfold in front of a TV screen and he could not do anything to rewrite his own role. He felt so helpless.
In hindsight, Adam thought he could have stuck to his guns and fought the system to prove his innocence but instead he became a weakling and sold himself out to the highest bidder. If Kim Allen knew, she would probably be smiling smugly that her assessment of him was true; he had broken his promise to Kris to save himself the very first chance he got-another reason to be added to the long list of why he did not deserve to be with Kris anymore. He felt totally wretched.
After reluctantly signing the marriage contract, Alex whisked him away from the police station and he simply followed as if in a trance. Alex’s intentions and motives for getting him out of that dire situation were still unclear to him. For better or worse, his life was already tied to Alex seeing as how he was completely indebted to him.
When the door of the car shut them off from the outside world, Adam’s mind automatically shut down with it, refusing to make him think clearly, which was a welcome respite from his already tormented mind.
Whether it was from fear, anxiety, hunger, trauma, sheer exhaustion, or a combination of all, he couldn’t stop himself from shaking. He quickly wrapped his arms around his body to hide the violent tremors that would surely not go unnoticed to Alex’s scrutinizing eyes.
He cringed when Alex held him close. In spite of himself, Adam felt his body slowly relaxing within the embrace. He had been desperately longing for a warm, reassuring touch-that any comfort freely given in whatever form or from whatever source would be welcomed. It was like water offered to a man dying of thirst, and Adam wallowed in it, even if he would be damned regardless.
They stopped first at an upmarket café. Adam felt a little better when his stomach was finally filled with warm, rich food. Next, they made a one stop shop at an expensive store where Alex bought him an assortment of clothing and everything else he thought Adam needed.
Adam just went along blindly, too tired to argue, or to protest, or to even care. For numerous instances, he would have fallen down from extreme lassitude if Alex had not been holding him up.
In a sudden brief moment of awareness, he wondered if he was actually in a far worse mental state than he would be willing to admit for feeling a certain kind of gratefulness for the warm presence of Alex’s strong hands-the hands that had previously hurt him and had violently snatched away the only thing that mattered to him-these same hands were suddenly offering him gentle, warm support. To Adam nothing made sense anymore.
He must have dozed off because he could not remember getting back in the car, until it had stopped in front of the mansion. “We’re home.” Alex announced.
Adam winced at the reference to the word home, but assented nonetheless; his mind was simply not capable of processing anything that would involve more thinking, just yet. As they were going deeper into the house, the climb upstairs became awfully familiar. Beads of perspiration started to gather on his forehead and his heart started pounding rapidly; it was palpable in the large but quiet room.
You have to calm yourself down. This was your choice. You brought yourself here. No one forced you. He heard a voice inside his head say. It was either prison or a life with Alex, right? He felt himself relaxed a bit, but it was only momentary. The sight of the master bedroom, especially the bed where he had been recently tied down, brought back unforgiving flashes of images that had been haunting his sleep for the past days and they were dangerously triggering an onset of a major panic attack.
He was starting to hyperventilate. He hurriedly shut his eyes tight to push all the ugly memories back into the deep recesses of his mind and keep them from creeping back into his consciousness. With his eyes closed, he was not prepared when he Alex’s hand touched his arm. He flinched in panic with a sudden unexpected force and staggered backward to a corner in the room like a trapped wounded animal.
“Hey, Adam, it’s okay.” Alex slowly approached him, “Calm down, I won’t hurt you. You’re not in jail anymore, you’re here with me. You’re safe.” Alex saw pure terror in Adam’s eyes. He continued to speak softly to pacify him, “Adam, baby, it’s me, Alex. I’m here, you’re not alone. Come here, baby.”
I’m not alone. Adam repeated the words to himself and when he saw Alex’s outstretched arms, he walked grudgingly toward them hoping they would help him fill the deep chasm and emptiness that had taken a hold of his heart.
Alex wrapped his solid arms around him and felt Adam’s tensed muscles underneath his hands that were rubbing his back. “You’re very tired. You need to take a quick shower so you could relax.”
Adam simply obeyed without question, knowing it would be much easier than to oppose. He went quietly into the shower and let the hot water run down his body praying that it will also wash all his cares away. He took more time in the shower than necessary, trying to postpone the inevitable moment when Alex would suddenly decide to demand for his right as his husband.
In his chaotic state of mind-that could hardly comprehend how he could cringe at the slightest touch from Alex yet also find comfort from it-he realized that he did not bring clean clothes with him to the bathroom, leaving him with no available option to cover his nakedness other than the robe hanging on the rack. Clearly, the robe was a better option than to go out of the bathroom naked. Adam quickly put on the robe to stop his body from shivering and slowly walked out into the bedroom watching his shaky feet take very slow careful steps to avoid tripping over each other.
When Alex saw Adam looking very vulnerable wrapped only in his bathrobe with his wet unruly hair partially covering his downcast eyes and flushed face, his initial resolve to leave him untouched tonight and let him rest to regain his strength was immediately thrown out of the garbage.
Alex was readily drawn to the delectable image in front of him. It was preposterous not to take advantage of what was obviously being given freely and what was already rightfully his. Although that wasn’t entirely true, was it?-Especially looking at how Adam’s body was shuddering in trepidation, it would take a lot more convincing to make him participate willingly. And he did not really want to traumatize Adam even more than he already was, so he restrained himself and guided him slowly toward the massive bed.
They sat on the edge of the bed. With Adam so close, Alex could breathe in his intoxicating fresh smell. Adam’s fears were unmistakably tangible in the way his rosy lips were trembling. Adam quickly bit his lower lip to stop it from quivering. He stuck his tongue out to moisten his lips that were becoming painfully dry from his nervousness.
The innocent action added more sinful thoughts to Alex’s mind. What was driving him crazy was how Adam was oblivious to how he was sexually affecting him. First, he came out of the shower room barely dressed looking like a barefoot nymph, and then he seduced him with those erotic lips. What normal human being could resist these temptations? They both needed a distraction and fast.
“I’ll get something to warm you up. You’re shaking like a leaf.” Alex unfurled his blanket and wrapped Adam with it.
Adam watched him turn on the DVD and play a random movie before returning with two glasses filled with some form of liquid.
“Drink this up. It will make you feel a lot better.” Alex handed him a glass of wine while quickly downing his own.
Despite feeling wary, Adam took a slow sip of the wine just to soothe his dry throat and was relieved to find a distraction with the movie. The intermittent sips unexpectedly turned into frequent gulps as his body relaxed and warmed up to the comforting buzz of alcohol in his system. Feeling lightheaded, Adam did not realize he was already swigging until his glass was empty.
After Alex filled his glass for the second time, Adam mindlessly turned the bottom up and emptied all its content into his stomach.
The blanket that used to be clutched tightly around Adam fell down unheeded and the empty glass slid off his hands to make a soft thud on the carpeted floor. Adam lay down on the bed, savored the soft feel of the sheets caressing his skin, and reveled in the sudden warmth radiating throughout his body after going for days feeling cold and empty.
Adam allowed his mind and whole body to relax and surrender to the false sense of happiness and the short-lived comfort the alcohol provided. He just wanted to sleep peacefully without being awoken in the middle of the night screaming in terror. Through his half-closed eyes, Adam saw Alex run his eyes up and down the length of his body and he shivered.
Alex lay down beside him and gently brushed Adam’s cheeks with the back of his hands. When Adam did not move away, Alex lowered his head and kissed Adam’s lips while his hand went up and down his side. Adam’s drowsy mind welcomed both the warm moist tender lips and the heat of the strong hand that parted his robe and settled on his lower abdomen. Adam closed his eyes to revel in the pleasure of the gentle caresses.
When Adam opened his eyes, it was Kris’s handsome face that he saw and he parted his lips and returned Alex’s kiss passionately.
The moans that escaped from Adam’s lips were like electric shocks that went straight to Alex’s groin. His hand grew bolder and moved down between Adam’s legs to hold his growing erection.
Kris… Kris… Adam felt dizzy with want. He threw his head back to allow Alex’s hungry mouth to ravish his neck. He gasped in pleasure when the hot mouth covered his tender nipples. He grabbed Alex’s hair gently as he deliciously licked his nipples until they were both erect and swollen with yearning.
Adam’s body was writhing with desire when Alex swallowed his erection and pulled him in and out of his mouth. His hands were still entangled in Alex’s hair when he looked down between his legs to find Alex’s head bobbing up and down eagerly to take his entire length in his throat. Adam thrust his hips to go deeper and the sensation of his head being squeezed brought him to an explosive orgasm that made him unconsciously scream Kris’s name.
After coming down from his wonderful climax Adam was exhausted and ready to pass out. But before he fully lost consciousness, he felt cold fingers penetrated him and he tensed all over. When he opened his eyes, the last vision he saw before he totally blacked out was Alex climbing on top of him.
Alex did not miss the name that slipped out of Adam’s lips when he reached the peak of his arousal. He felt a little disappointed but it did not really bother him. After all, he thought, Adam is now completely mine. With that thought, he penetrated Adam and pounded into the boy’s beautiful body. Alex lifted Adam’s legs to bury himself even deeper inside and fucked him until he squeezed out all his juice, and deposited it inside Adam. He dropped on the bed beside his beautiful husband and felt totally satisfied from that powerful release.
Alex mentally reminded himself to give Ryan his bonus for skilfully setting up the bait that captured his most prized possession. He carefully removed Adam’s robe to leave him completely naked. He marvelled at the otherworldly beauty that was lying on his bed. He could not believe that such beauty existed, innocent and erotic at the same time. Alex dropped a light kiss on Adam’s lips and wrapped him possessively in his arms.
“You’re mine, Adam,” Alex whispered before giving in to exhaustion. He finally slept with Adam in his arms feeling happy and totally sated.
