Chapter 119

Sebastian walked back into the living room after pushing Nicholas out; Zeno was standing at the foot of the stairs, waiting for him.

"You okay?" Sebastian asked as he walked toward him.

Zeno nodded.

Sebastian met him and put an arm around his waist.

"Do you think he knows now?" Zeno asked.

Sebastian shook his head, "Nicholas is quite slow. But don't worry, he'll know soon," He picked Zeno in and sniffed his neck.

Zeno nodded, not responding.

"Or, you don't want him to know about us?" Sebastian started going up the stairs, holding Zeno's hand.

"No, it's not that; I do want him to know; it'll make everyone less awkward around each other," Zeno responded.

"Good, then you don't have to feel bad for him, he'll find someone else, not just you," His hand went to Zeno's ass and squeezed it.

Sebastian opened his door and let Zeno walk in first before he did.

Zeno went straight to the bed and sat down. 

Why wouldn't he want Nicholas to know? He wanted everyone to know for God's sake!

He didn't even have the mind to get angry with whatever Sebastian did, he was feeling way too guilty to feel angry.

He loved Sebastian; undoubtedly, losing him would break him for sure, and he might just never get into any other relationship if this one ever ended.

Sebastian was the first person to make him feel like he was really worth loving; his other relationships were with the opposite gender; he had always been caring and giving, but not with Sebastian. He almost felt like if he ever asked Sebastian to transfer all his wealth to him, he would do it in a twinkle of an eye.

He was never going to ask that, but it was just the extent of love he believed Sebastian had for him. And how does he repay him? With blackmail, he stared at Sebastian as he walked around his room, clearing the clothes they had removed earlier from the floor and taking them into their laundry room.

He swore never to hurt him; before thongs would get out of hand, he would have found a way to tell him. His only o stacked was Mr. Orion; if that old man ever found out about him and his son, he'd be dead before he knew it, and not just him, but his Nana too.

Apart from Mr. Orion, he didn't give two shits about anyone knowing about his relationship.

Sebastian walked back into the room and saw the way Zeno was looking at him; he raised a brow at him and walked over to him, standing between his legs, "Hey baby girl, why are you staring at me like that?" Je questioned, palming Zeno's face on his hands.

Zeno shook his head, "I love you," He gave Sebastian a small smile.

Sebastian found himself falling harder for Zeno; how was it possible to keep falling for someone you already loved? 

He lowered his face to Zeno's and kissed him, "I love you, Zeno...try not to be so charming; I might just lose myself falling for you," He pecked his lips and stared at Zeno's blue eyes.

"Cuddle?" Zeno asked, looking innocently at Sebastian.

Sebastian chuckled, "Why not? You're my favorite pillow," He kissed Zeno's forehead and moved away from him.

Zeno raised his legs to the bed as Sebastian got in front of the other side.

"Come here, baby girl," Sebastian tapped the space beside him as he lay on the bed.

Zeno went over to him and lay on his side beside Sebastian.

Sebastian turned to face Zeno, staring at him without saying a word.

Zeno didn't remove his eyes from Sebastian's, he stared back at him and slowly raised his hand to sneak into Sebastian's shirt, caressing his chest.

Sebastian gave him a sexy smirk, his hand found the back of Zeno's neck and gently raised his face to his. He didn't remove his eyes from Zeno as he brought his lips closer to Zeno's, he could feel Zeno's quickened breath on his jaw, causing him to clench his teeth.

He moved his face and covered Zeno's lips with his; he didn't know how else to express what he was feeling inside; he lived Zeno on in a way some people might term unhealthy. 

He was obsessed, head-over-heels, possessive, jealous, and in love with Zeno.

He withdrew his lips and pulled Zeno close to him, "I'm not leaving you alone anymore," He whispered and pulled him close to him, resting Zeno's head on his chest.

Zeno smiled, "Why?" 

"It seems like everyone wants what's mine; I'm keeping you by my side always," Sebastian massaged his head. 

Zeno chuckled, "I don't want you to leave me either," He sighed.

His words were deeper than what Sebastian was talking about, he hoped that when the time came, Sebastian's love for him would be bigger than the damage he would cause.

He lifted his head and stared at Sebastian, "Goodnight, Seb...I love you, never doubt that," he whispered. 

Sebastian smiled, "Someone's being clingy tonight, everything alright, baby?" He questioned, still smiling; he loved this side of Zeno; it made him feel wanted.

Zeno nodded and hugged Sebastian, "It's just love, babe," He said.

Sebastian chuckled, "Goodnight, my love," He kissed the top of Zeno's head and lay his head back on the pillow, shutting his eyes.

***

Zeno was standing in front of the bodyguards' quarter the next morning; Sebastian had asked him to help him inform Andre that he'd be driving them out in half an hour.

He was waiting for Andre to come down and meet him.

"Hey," Andre tapped his shoulder from behind.

Zeno was surprised because Andre had said he was inside the building; how did he end up behind him?

"How'd you get here?" Zeno asked.

Andre smiled, "A secret way, Zeno, or should I call you boss now?" He raised a teasing brow at Zeno.

Zeno glared at him, "Here, get the car ready in half an hour," He pushed a car key into Andre's hand.

"Yes, boss," Andre smirked.

"You're insane," Zeno rolled his eyes and walked past Andre.

"You're one lucky guy, Zeno!" Andre shouted after him.

Zeno turned his head and gave Andre a questioning look; he shook his head at him and walked on, smiling as he turned his face away from him.

He did know what Andre was talking about, but he wasn't about to stand and talk about his relationship with Andre; Andre was out to make him feel embarrassed with his teasing.

He was about to enter the house when the gate opened, and an unrecognized car drove into the compound.

He stopped and stood in front of the door to see who would come out of the cat.

The car parked right in front of the house and the front door opened, and that's when he saw the least person he expected to see.

Rico came out of the driver's side, followed by Ezra from the passenger's side.

He narrowed his eyes at them, waiting for them to wall up to him.

"Good morning, Rico, what brings you here? Hi, Doc," He greeted as they met him.

"Hey, young man, it's good to see you without a bleeding arm," Rixo patted Zeno's shoulder. 

Zeno smiled and nodded at the man.

Ezra went close to Zeno, "He wants to meet Sebastian for a few discussions regarding the club," He held Zeno's arm, "How's your arm?" 

"It's fine, thank you for asking," Sebastian replied as he opened the door and drew Zeno to himself. 

Ezra sighed, "Chill, Sebastian, I'm asking as a doctor, nothing else," He said.

Sebastian simply held Zeno's hand and led him inside the house.

"Suck it up, Son, you'll find someone soon," Rico patted Ezra's shoulder, walked past him and entered the house.

Ezra shook his head and followed them in; maybe it was time he really found someone; he couldn't stand watching Sebastian rubbing it on his face every single opportunity he got.

Inside the house, Sebastian didn't feel like going into his office so he made them sit around the dining.

"What's the problem, Rico? I thought you made me believe you had everything under control?" Sebastian questioned.

He was sitting beside Zeno and the discussion suddenly made Zeno realize that he hadn't asked Sebastian why he didn't tell him that he owned the boxing arena even after finding out that's where he used to work. 

Rico cleared his throat, "I did, but recently, I've had two of my boys leave the club, saying they got a better offer with this club," Rico slid a picture over to Sebastian on the table.

Sebastian picked up the picture and couldn't recognize the building on it. It was a picture of a boxing club that was taken late in the evening, it had no name on it, and he hadn't seen it before 

"When did this happen?" He questioned, sliding the picture over to Zeno.

"The boys left three days ago, and I got this picture from one of them last night when I asked him to show me where he works now," Rico explained.

"I believe you've not seen it too?" Sebastian frowned. 

He already had enough on his plate; fighting a rival wasn't what he wanted to do now; three of his guys were a lot. If he remained quiet, he'd lose more, and he didn't want that.

"No, I don't," Rico replied.

"It's fine; we'll get in touch with the three guys and send someone over to check the place out; we need to know who runs it," Sebastian informed. 

"Um, I think this picture might be a clue, Seb," Zeno, who had been staring at the picture, suddenly spoke up, placing his hand on Sebastian's thigh.

"What did you find out?" Sebastian asked, placing a hand over Zeno's on his thigh.

Ezra saw their hands and sighed; he rolled his eyes at them; he wasn't sure if they were here to find a solution or to watch the couple flirt with each other; he forced his eyes away from them and concentrated on the picture.

"Yeah, here, look," Zeno pointed at a small sign beside the entrance door of the building.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed, "How did I miss that?" Je asked quietly. 

"It's the barcode sign; I don't think this is a coincidence; it could be the same people, and the three guys might just lead us to the main guy," Zeno explained.

Sebastian nodded, looking at Zeno, he felt proud to have him beside him. "Want to go for an adventure?" He asked.

Zeno smiled and nodded, "Eager," Zeno replied.
