Master (MxB) novel Chapter 18

Corey's POV

"Will you just fucking stop, Randy! I'm fine, what part of that don't you get?" The shouting outside our bedroom door woke me up with a start and I shot up quickly to see what was happening.

"Shh baby, it's okay." I heard Hayden's sleep roughened voice and I looked down at him. He still looked half asleep as he peered up at me through his lashes. Flashes of last night went through my mind and I felt my cheeks heat up in a furious blush as I quickly lay back down again, cuddling into him and hiding my heated face against his chest.

I felt his chuckle vibrate through him and I lightly smacked him on his stomach, only to feel his abdomen tighten under my hand and causing more naughty thoughts to make their way into my mind.

Hayden pulled me closer just as the door barged open, revealing a very irritated Timmy and a slightly pissed off Randy right behind him. I tried to pull away from Hayden, but he wouldn't allow me, so I just gave up and looked at the two people who barged in.

"Good morning to you two as well. Waking up to you shouting at each other early in the morning is just what I needed." Hayden grumbled sarcastically, looking pointedly at his friend, who didn't even look remotely ashamed or concerned about being overheard.

Timmy huffed and shot a glare at Randy, before stomping to Hayden's side of the bed. "I just need to check on your wound, then I will be out of your hair." He demanded and I saw Randy clench his jaw, while crossing his arms over his chest. I had a feeling Randy didn't like the way Timmy was talking to Hayden, which I could understand to an extent. I've read all about the respect between Dom's and Submissives, but Randy couldn't do or say anything about it, because Timmy wasn't his Sub.

I almost giggled out loud when Timmy noticed Randy's stance and huffed again, before turning back to Hayden. "I apologize for seeming a bit rude, please can I have a look at your wound?" He asked in a softer tone and I saw Randy's slight nod of approval before he turned and walked out the room.

I watched the doctor while Hayden was trying to wiggle out of the pants and expose his injured leg, without exposing his other bits. I saw his shoulders droop and he caught his bottom lip between his teeth. His eyes looked a bit glossy, but he quickly blinked and as soon as Hayden exposed his thigh, Timmy immediately concentrated on that.

While the doctor was checking on Hayden's leg, I sat back and thought about how I could maybe help Timmy. I waited for him to wrap Hayden's leg again, before putting my plan into motion. "Um...Hayden, do you think I could talk to Timmy alone? I have a personal health question for him and it's a bit embarrassing." I told him, trying to look as innocent as possible.

He seemed a bit confused at first, but then seemed to catch on, so he quickly pulled him pants back on under the covers, before he got up, kissed my forehead and limped over to the bathroom.

As soon as the door was shut, Timmy crossed his arms and looked at me expectantly. Looks like he didn't buy my act either, damn. "Spit it out Corey, what did you really want to talk about?" He asked me quietly.

I looked down at my hands, not sure how to start this conversation. 'Um..are you okay? You look really stressed and angry with Randy. I know I'm young, and I might not be able to help, but sometimes just talking about a problem can help." I blurted out and I flushed bright red, hoping I didn't make myself look like an idiot.

I heard him breath out loudly, before I felt the mattress move. "It's okay Corey and yes, I am a bit angry with Randy, I suppose. He just doesn't know when to mind his own damn business." He grumbled and I let out a small chuckle at his disgruntled tone.

"I think he might actually see you as his business though." I told him as I looked up and saw the small sparkle in his eyes, before it dimmed just as quickly.

"Well, that crazy Sadist will just have to get over it and find someone else to worry about. I'm not his concern and I am perfectly fine." He mumbled and went to get up, but I grabbed his hand, stopping him. He looked at me, his eyes questioning.

"Don't do that, please. You are pushing people away from you and I don't know or understand your reasons, but please, I am here for you. Any time you need to talk, I am just a call away. If you need Randy to back off, I can talk to Hayden to talk to his friend. Randy will listen to Hayden. I told him earnestly and I saw the light sheen of tears in his eyes again.

"You are truly a remarkable young man Corey. After everything you have been through, you are still so sweet and kind to the people around you. I will think about what you said and I'll get back to you. Who knows, maybe it's time for me to start living life again. As for that brute, if you can get your man to have him back off a bit, that would be great, or I swear, I am going to kick him where it hurts the most." I laughed as he pulled me closer and hugged me, whispering a thank you in my ears as I hugged him tightly.

Hayden walked out of the bathroom at that moment, wearing just a towel and my mind got completely sidetracked as I stared at him. Timmy pulled back, looked at my flushed face, before looking in the direction I was staring, before looking back at me with a smirk. "I will just leave you now, because there is no way I'm going to get any further conversation out of you with that in your line of sight." He chuckled as he got off the bed and went out the room.

I was still staring at Hayden as he went about getting his clothes out of a bag, before dropping his towel. I let out a small squeak of embarrassment as I clapped my hands over my eyes, and I heard him chuckle, causing me to feel flushed once again. I swear, my face was going to melt off at this rate.

After a bit of fabric rustling, I felt warm hands over my own and pulled them away from my face, looking up at Hayden. He smiled down at me, before leaning down and dropping a small kiss on the tip of my nose. "Too cute." He mumbled as he stood back up, and grabbed my hands in his and pulled me up too.

"Come on baby, let's get some food into you, then I need to get hold of the security team at home and see if they know anything more. Greg called early this morning to say he had some news, but he didn't want to say anything on the phone. He's meeting us here at eleven." Hayden rambled all of this off as he grabbed my bag, took some clothing out and pulled me towards the bathroom. He gently shoved me inside and gave me the clothing. "Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the room."

I hurriedly took a quick shower, brushed my hair and teeth and then got dressed in the skinny jeans and black button-up shirt. I left the bathroom, saw Hayden patiently waiting on the bed he had already made and I pulled on some shoes, before turning and smiling at him. I walked over and gave him a hug as he got up and he tightly wrapped his arms around me.

"You need to maybe speak to Randy. I know he likes Timmy, but he is being a bit forceful and that will just scare the doctor away from him. He needs a more subtle approach, maybe a bit more gentle." I asked as I leaned back and looked up at him.

"Is that what you guys were talking about while I was in the shower?" He asked and at my nod, he sighed. "I'll talk to him, but Randy is a very blunt and straightforward person and subtlety is definitely not his strong point. But I will talk to him and hopefully get through to him. Timmy needs him just as much as he needs Timmy, so I really hope they can get everything sorted out."

"Thank you."I giggled and jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist, while he spread his hands out over my backside. He smiled and gave me a quick kiss on the lips, before carrying me out of the room, while I rested my head on his shoulder.

We walked like that, all the way to the kitchen, where I shyly peeked at Randy, who was standing behind the stove, cooking us breakfast. "Where did the doctor go?" Hayden asked him and I saw the big guy's shoulders slightly slump, before he straightened himself out and glared at his friend.
