Chapter 49: Chapter 49

After Nicholas left, Zeno walked up the stairs, he reached the front of his door and paused. He stared at Sebastian’s door for a while, debating if he should go in or not.

He wanted to go to Sebastian and find out what was bothering him, but he didn’t know if he was allowed to go to him based on their contract or if Sebastian was the only one allowed to come to him whenever he wanted.

He raised his hand to Sebastian’s door handle, holding it but not twisting it.

Zeno knew he shouldn’t be bothered by Sebastian’s attitude. It was none of his business. Whatever he had going on in his life should be none of his business, but there he was, contemplating on whether or not he should go into the room, just because he felt troubled the whole damn day as he thought about Sebastian’s mood.

He suddenly shook his head and slowly retrieved his hand.

He shouldn’t be doing this. It seemed like he was pushing his boundaries. Sebastian had clearly stated in his terms that he should never meddle in his personal affairs, and what he wanted to do right now, was meddling in his affairs.

Zeno decided to leave.

However, before he could turn away from the door, Sebastian’s door was pulled open, causing Zeno to freeze and snap his head up at Sebastian, who was standing in front of the door.

Their eyes locked, silence reigning between them as they seemed to be lost in each other’s eyes.

Sebastian had gone up to his room the moment he left the kitchen, he was so angry, angry at himself and Zeno.

He was angry at Zeno for being the cause of his unidentified emotional imbalance, and he was angry at himself for allowing himself to get affected by Zeno.

He had been watching Zeno and Nicholas from the security camera in his room and the longer he watched, the higher his anger level went.

He saw the way Nicholas tried his best to make Zeno comfortable around him, and he saw the way Zeno was politely responding to everything Nicholas said, opposite of how he was with him.

With him, Zeno was always ready to defy him and was never polite; what could Nicholas do that he couldn’t do? He was richer than Nicholas too, so why was Zeno choosing the other guy?

As he stared into Zeno’s eyes, he felt all his tied-up emotions take over his whole body.

He suddenly recalled all those things that had triggered his emotional turmoil, starting from their time in the bathroom when he felt that overwhelming sense of possession over Zeno, to the time when Zeno went to VIbez Media and met that fucking Abbey and finally, Nicholas decided to add to his troubles that evening.

He felt like punching Zeno’s face which he would have easily done before, but now, he only stared at his face, noticing how tired yet beautiful he looked.

Zeno felt pinned down by Sebastian’s strong gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to look away from his magneting grey eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Sebastian was the first to break the silence, his voice cold and detached.

Zeno slowly blinked, looking away from Sebastian as he suddenly realized that he’d been caught.

"Um..." He scratched the back of his head, "I just wanted to check up on you?" Zeno replied, returning his eyes to Sebastian’s.

Sebastian scoffed, leaning against the side of his door, "Check up on me? Why not check up on Nicholas, or maybe, Abbey, Zeno?" He narrowed his dark eyes at Zeno.

Zeno sighed; he wasn’t ready for this right now; he was just caring for his boss and just needed his boss to be nice for once.

He looked into Sebastian’s eyes, ignored his hateful glare, and slowly moved closer to him, stopping right in front of him and wrapping his arms around Sebastian’s waist.

"How are you, Sebastian?" He asked softly.

Sebastian was shocked. He never expected this kind of behavior from Zeno. He felt speechless. He had thought Zeno was going to give him some smart reply, anything, but this. He felt his Will and anger fall away with Zeno’s touch.

But he wasn’t going to yield, he didn’t need his care.

"Get your hands off me, Zeno," Sebastian warned darkly.

Zeno sighed, "I’m just trying to be human, Sebastian. Can’t we be normal with each other for once?" Zeno asked, his arms still holding Sebastian tightly.

Sebastian scoffed. "Normal? Like you were with Abbey and Nicholas?" He questioned lowly, staring into Zeno’s eyes.

Zeno narrowed his eyes, tilting his head to look at him.

"Wait...are you-"

"Get your hands off me, and always know your place!" Sebastian pushed Zeno away roughly.

Zeno staggered back, his back slamming against his door.

He gritted his teeth and stared back at Sebastian, his eyes questioning him quietly.

Sebastian moved fast and grabbed Zeno’s collar, pushing back against the door.

"Now, let me remind you, Zeno. Don’t ever think you have the right to me just because we’re fucking. Don’t pretend to care about me either, you’re not my boyfriend," He warned darkly.

Zeno was silently listening to him. Sebastian’s words weren’t supposed to hurt him, but they did; they cut him deep.

He placed his hand over Sebastian’s own that was holding his collar. "I know I’m not your boyfriend. But my care was genuine; we don’t really have to be hard on ourselves all the time," Zeno slowly raised his hand to Sebastian’s face.

He didn’t know why, but he had the strong urge to make Sebastian forget all his worries, he didn’t like him sulking.

Sebastian was breathing harshly in anger; Zeno’s persistent, caring attitude was pissing him off. He slowly released Zeno’s collar and suddenly smirked down at him.

"Answer me honestly, Zeno," Sebastian spoke, his voice mellowed.

Zeno nodded, straightening himself so he properly looked into Sebastian’s eyes.

"Do you love me?" Sebastian asked slowly, his eyes not leaving Zeno’s face.

Zeno blinked in disbelief, he took a second to comprehend what he’d just been asked. Then slowly, he removed his hands from Sebastian’s face, stepping back.

"I-I... you said it yourself, we’re just...we just have a contract," Zeno stammered, his heart hammering against his chest.

Sebastian chuckled, "Good thing you know. Now," he lowered his head beside Zeno’s ear.

"Stop acting like you do..." he moved away from Zeno, "You’re only allowed to speak informally to me when we’re making lo... fucking," Sebastian reminded sternly, cursing himself for what he was about to say.

Zeno sighed tiredly and nodded. He understood that Sebastian was just inhuman, he was incapable of being nice.

In the end, he still didn’t succeed in finding out what was worrying with Sebastian. He almost thought he was jealous about his kiss with Abbey and his interaction with Nicholas, but he was wrong; Sebastian would never be jealous of him; after all, one was only jealous over something or someone they loved.

Love was not a word that was suitable for either of them.

"Good night, Boss," Zeno nodded politely and turned to his door, unlocking it and slowly pushing the door open, he entered the room without looking back at Sebastian.

"Fucking dumb," he heard Sebastian mutter the moment the door closed.

Zeno sighed and leaned his back to the door.

"What did I think I was doing?" He whispered to himself.

Somehow, he had let his guilt of kissing Abbey lead him to think that he was the reason Sebastian was angry, but he suddenly recalled that Sebastian’s mood turned sour immediately after their shower.

He shook his head and headed straight into the shower. As he showered, he forced his mind not to recall what had happened in there with Sebastian.

After he came out, he quickly got under covers wearing only loose shorts, he wanted to force himself to sleep, but that night, Zeno was exceptionally horny.

He sat up, staring at his door and thinking about going out to find Sebastian and invite him into his room, but he didn’t.

He knew Sebastian’s mood wasn’t right for that right now.

"Fuck..." Zeno muttered, feeling his dick tenting in his shorts.

He leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes. He decided to stop punishing himself; his mind was his, and he could do whatever he wanted on his mind, and no one would question him.

He took a deep breath and started to imagine that Sebastian was in the bed with him, kissing and touching in the right places.

As he thought about Sebastian’s naked and sexy body, he slowly slid his hand into his shorts and started to stroke his cock up and down.

However, he doesn’t get to the fifth stroke when his phone suddenly rings, distorting his well-thought-out scene.

"Damn, who the fuck is it?" He murmured and used his free hand to pick up his phone.

Seeing who it was, he suddenly decided to answer it, maybe that’s exactly what he needed now.

"Hello, Abbey?" He answered quietly.

"Hi, Zeno...um, I’m going to send you a video...is that okay with you?" Abbey’s voice sounded very soft as she spoke through the phone.

Zeno already had an idea about the kind of video she was talking about, and was he going to accept it?

"Yes, Abbey, you can," He accepted it.

Abbey giggled softly before ending the call.

In the next second, Zeno received a video clip from Abbey.

And just like he had suspected, the video showed Abbey, sitting at the edge of her bed with a transparent g-string.

Zeno felt like turning the video off, but he wanted to see if he could still get off with a girl.

He started to stroke himself as he watched the video.

Abbey used her middle finger to pull her G-string out of the way, then she slowly started to finger her pussy.

That sight was enough to get any man knotting; rather, Zeno felt his mood dwindling; he tried to close his eyes and listen to her loud moans, but still, he couldn’t get off.

He stared at her breasts as they bounced up and down, still...nothing.

He was about to turn off the phone when his door burst open.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Sebastian’s voice boomed angrily.
