Master (MxB) novel Chapter 1

Corey's POV

"Corey, get your ass down here now!" I heard my father's voice thunder up the stairs and I let out a sigh. I really didn't want to deal with him or Mother right now. All I ever got from them was criticism and disappointed looks, just because I didn't live up to their expectations of how I should be.

They wanted me to be big built like Father, unfortunately, I took after Mother at 5'7. They expected me to be a ladies man or 'heartthrob' like Father used to be in high-school, but once again, I failed there too. I had never had a girlfriend and I never will have one. I was gay, although they didn't need to know that. I couldn't even bring myself to think about kissing a girl, never mind actually having sex with own. They also expected me to be some type of sports star like Father used to be, but I was completely useless at sports. I've tried football, soccer, basketball, even lacrosse, but I couldn't even make any of the teams. Father used to be quarterback for his highschool team as well as captain of the basketball team. The only thing I excelled at was academics, but that wasn't good enough for them. They just kept lecturing me and pressuring me about how I was not good enough for the family name and what a disappointment I was to them.

Father was probably getting ready for another lecture on how I need to try harder and push more to be more like him. I honestly wasn't in the mood for this, but I didn't have a choice in the matter. The last time I had refused to go down for one of Father's lectures, he came storming into my room and physically dragged me downstairs by my hair and threw me on the couch. I really didn't want a repeat of that again, so I quickly got up off my bed and headed downstairs to see them sitting side by side on one couch and Father indicated for me to take the one opposite them.

I sat down and waited for it to start. Father looked at me with a slight look of disgust, before he started, but it wasn't the usual thing, like I had expected. "We are hosting a very important Dinner party tomorrow night, here at the house. A very important person is coming, so I want you to be on your best behaviour for it. I'm trying to get a contract for my company to make some of the security tech that his firm makes for the Government. According to rumors, he is looking to partner up with another company to take over some of the smaller Government contracts, due to his current workload. So he has agreed to discuss it with me during tomorrow night's dinner party. I'm being fucking serious Corey, I want you to be on your best behaviour, and please, for once in your miserable fucking life, can you actually act like a fucking man."

I sat there dumbstruck for a few seconds from Father's harsh words towards me, then nodded my head, swallowing the lump that formed in my throat, before nodding. "Of course Father, I won't let you down."I say with a fake smile as I get up off the couch to make my escape, before the tears came.

As I got to the doorway leading out of the lounge, I heard him mumble to Mother, "Damn boy is a let down already, he just better not fuck up, or I swear to God, I will beat him till he toughens up."

With those words echoing in my head, I ran up the stairs to my room, closed and locked the door behind me and threw myself onto the bed, burying my face into my pillow to muffle my sobs. I was never going to be good enough for them. I was too quiet, too girly, too shy, too small. I'm never going to be what they want from me and the thought made me cry even harder. If they had to find out that I was gay, I would definitely end up on the streets. Father wouldn't think twice to throw me out if he thought I was something as disgusting as a faggot. I've heard the derogatory word come from their mouths too many times, to doubt how they felt about the LGBT community. Father might even decide to kill me if he had to find out. He would never accept that his sperm would produce something as filthy as that.

I must have cried myself to sleep eventually, because when I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning and my alarm for school was going off. I switched it off, before rolling off my bed with a groan. I really wasn't in the mood for school today, but at least it was Friday, so I would have a break from my other hell for a few days.

You see, not only was my home life shitty and miserable, but it was the same at school. I was bullied, because of my smaller size and the fact that I was a bit of a nerd and very quiet. The only good thing about school was the fact that the teachers liked me and my best friend was there as well. Tana was the sweetest, most amazing girl I have ever met. She was almost my complete opposite, but we somehow made it work.

She was lesbian, which is what drew us together in the first place and she had no problem telling anyone where to shove their opinions about her. She was beautiful, with long, chocolate brown hair to her waist and bright blue eyes. She was also about my size and she knew how to look good in whatever she wore, which made me a bit jealous to be honest. I never felt like I looked good enough and just went with baggy jeans and t-shirts. The only thing I liked about myself was my very pale blonde hair and light green eyes. Both of which I got from Father, which is all I got from him.

I wasn't out at school and neither was Tana, and because we were always around each other, the other kids thought we were dating, and we didn't deny it at all. It was safer that way for both of us, although the jocks sometimes gave Tana a hard time for having such a loser for a boyfriend. One guy from the football team, Jason, tried to hook up with her once, and started telling her how pathetic and worthless I was and that she should just drop me and go out with him. He told her he would be able to show her a much better time than I ever could. Well, let's just say that her knee connected with his groin so hard, that he was out of school for three days. She warned him to never bad mouth me again or tries to get with her ever again, or she would make sure his dick never functioned ever again.
