We finally reached the gym. Kenny was laying on a gym equipment.

"Are we ready?" Reyan growled, waking up Kenny.

"Yes. Let's start from warming up."

"We already did." I blurted pressing my legs with my hands to relax the muscles. Both of them broke into laughter.

"ok ok. No more jokes." Reyan left to do his own exercises as Kenny started training me. Occasionally, I sneaked a peek at the topless man doing pull ups drenched in sweat a few meters away from us.

After an hour.

"We're done. You might have sore muscles tonight. " Kenny said wiping off the sweat dripping on his neck. Finishing off his sets, Reyan came to us.

"Come let's go." He said pointing at me. I couldn't help but think of about the five miles jog to return home.

"Can we get a vehicle to take us home? Please have some mercy my lord."

"No" Reyan said without a hinge of resentment.

"Why would you need a vehicle to go next door?" Kenny asked puzzled by our conversation.

"Next door? We ran 5 miles to get here."

Again they broke into laughter. Then Kenny walked up to the back door of the gym.

"Come." Said Reyan. His expression as stern as always. I followed them. When Kenny opened the door I saw the backyard of Reyan's house. I just ran five miles to reach the gym next door. Reyan took me on a different alley that pointed back to his home and eventually the gym. I felt like a fool.

We went in and I walked holding the walls for support. Seeing me walk slowly Reyan lifted me on his shoulders and took me to my room. "No. I'm fine. Put me down, I can walk."

"We don't have all day to reach your room." He growled.

He put me on my bed and brought an ice bag to ease my muscles. I stared at his pretty eyes that carefully sat under the eyelids while his hands gently eased the muscle pain.

"You like what you are seeing?" Reyan said catching me staring at him.

"haa ?" I was frozen for a while and then I continued "n.. no. Aren't you a narcissist. Why would I like you. I already have someone I like.". Receiving no response from him, I continued "He is not like you. He is gentle, charming and treats me well."

"Riad is gentle?" puzzled by his response, I wondered how did he know the person I've liked is Riad and if he knew anything about Riad. He then continued "Only the girls in his bed would know that, don't they?" with an evil grin.

I clenched my jaws after hearing what he said. But he was true. Riad did date a lot of girls while I listened to him talk about his each girlfriend. Suddenly the thoughts of Riad clouded my mind. I forgot about the man in front of me. Repelling me from my thoughts, Reyan pushed me laying me on my bed, placing his palm underneath my head and pressing his body onto mine. Both our sweating bodies pressed against each other creeped up heat between us. This man who always treats my wounds, saves me when I drown myself, fires his employee for slapping me has been growing on me recently.

"Are you thinking about him?" Reyan growled. "In my presence you are not allowed to think of another man.". A drop of his sweat fell on my lips. This was my limit of resistance. Holding the back of his neck with my hand, I lifted my head a little and reached his lips with mine. At first he didn't kiss me back. Disappointed, I retreated.

"If you are doing it, do it right." He growled. Pinching my chin with his other hand, that opened my mouth, he kissed me passionately, exploring every corner of my mouth with his tongue. Closing my eyes, I traced my hands to his chest, the shirt still damp from his sweat. I clenched my fists as I grabbed his shirt when he intensified the movement of his mouth. I didn't want this to end. It seemed like I was again on the beach laying in his arms as he hugged me tightly. He reached his hand to my waist, slowly sliding beneath it.

Suddenly his phone rang. He jerked off immediately. Picking up his phone he walked away. I woke up coming back to reality, processing what I just did and was about to do. I lost my first kiss to Reyan, my abductor, a potential criminal. I snapped out of dreamland and went to shower. According to the schedule, there was swimming training after this, which is supposed to be carried out by Reyan. Thinking about the awkwardness, I stepped out of the shower in a robe.

Reyan walked in hastily, and as soon as he saw me, he turned around. Crossing my hands over my robe I said in a lower tone "Why didn't you knock? I'll be out in a few minutes. Show me where you've kept the swimwear."

"Today there is no swimming training. A slight change in schedule. I'll train you tonight."

"Only for today?"

"Everyday. Get changed into your casual clothes and take rest. I'll call you when breakfast is ready."

He stormed out after saying his part. I then got changed to the corsage and slept. At half past seven, I walked down and saw Reyan serving food on the table. I never asked him to cook food for me. He took that responsibility to feed me since the first day.

"You are awake? I was about to call you."

I didn't say a word. I quietly sat on a chair and started digging in. I ate two whole bowls of rice and two boiled eggs. This was the maximum I ate in my whole life till now. Once I was done I washed the plates while he was still eating. I poured myself a glass of warm milk and sat back.

"I have to talk to you about something." Reyan said chewing the food in his mouth.

"Oh. Shoot."

"I'm not sorry about what happened today. I don't regret." He affirmed, staring into my eyes without blinking.

"oh okay." I didnt know how to respond. Does he mean he is interested in me, or that I don't mean anything to him for him to regret about what he has done.

"That's it? You don't have anything to say?"

"No." I lied. I had so much to say - 'ask', to be precise.

"Okay. I'll be home at eight at the latest. The wifi password is scribbled on a paper underneath the keyboard. Don't try anything funny. The system is connected to mine."

"Okay. Thanks."

Once he left I rushed upstairs and powered off the computer. A sense of relief crept into me as I typed down the wifi password. At first I check for background running application. But there seemed to be none. I then logged into my email and saw a mail from reyanAlves34@gmail.com . I quickly opened it up. He sent me a new schedule, with minor changes. With a text "If you are bored after the morning workout, you can do housework. You cannot live here for free after all." This didn't make any difference because I did them anyways throughout the day.
