53. let the games begin

"My mother was sick" he starts after a pause.

"My father knew she couldn't afford shit" he says anger creeping into his tone. He looks over to me reading my face making sure he hasn't scared me before looking back up at the ceiling.

"I got high on some fucked up shit and found him, confronting him" he says and I can tell he's obviously not proud of it

"This rich fuck wouldn't help and I saw red and blacked out" he says and my heart starts to race

"He says I pulled a gun on him after beating him into the ground then lit his car up" he pauses. "He pressed charges and 2 days later my mother passed" he says and I can hear the pain clear in his voice although he tries to hide it

I crawl across the bed towards him before wrapping my arms around his torso, hugging him tightly.

He doesn't react for a long moment before finally softening his ridged frame, resting his hand down softly on my back.

"I'm sorry" I say sincerely resting my head against his chest.

"Was going to end up there either way" he says after a moment. "I had so much rage back then"

I look up at him and he looks down at me.

"It's why is I work out so much" he says after a moment and I nod. "I could only take so much solitary confinement for fighting, I had to find something else"

"I'm terrified of scaring you" he says honestly and my heart aches for him

"You don't" I say honestly

"Not yet" he says and I feel sad for him, he thinks so negatively of himself

"Go to bed, kid" he says after a moment as he stares down at me

I nod before resting my head down against his chest as he runs his fingers back and forth along my arm and back soothing me.

I wake to Malek pulling my back into his chest as usual making a smile dance across my face.

I turn over onto my back, looking up at him as he rests his head into my neck kissing me.

"I missed you" I say softly and I can feel him smile against my neck.

"Yeah?" He says propping himself up as he looks down at me making me smile

"Yeah" I say before grabbing his hand and sliding it down in between my legs over my underwear as he grins

"I haven't forgot yesterday" he says playfully

"When you wouldn't man up and fuck me as I laid out naked infront of you begging" I say and he lets out a laugh. "I haven't forgot either" I say

"This is going to be a long couple days for you" he says and my face drops

"Couple days?" I say confused

"I warned you" he grins before rolling off the bed?

"Malek" I say and he grins

"Cliff would fuck me" I say and he shoots me a look, knowing I'm joking

"Keep it up and it's a week" he says sliding on a pair of khaki pants

"Malek" I say begging but he just grins.

"I'm going to have to buy a dildo" I say and he lets out a laugh.

"Your going to make this too fun for me" he says and my jaw drops.

He shakes his head amused before walking towards the door in just khakis as the band of his black underwear is visible. Why does he have to look like a model in everything.

I roll my eyes before crawling out of the bed following him in just my long t shirt.

We leave out into the kitchen before sitting at our usual spot around the table. If he's going to toy with me I'm going to make it painful for him.

As people start to enter into the kitchen I rest my hand in his lap, the way he does to me every morning. Sliding it up into his lap when I can finally feel him.

He looks at me with a grin shaking his head in amusement but lets me continue as I try and make him hard.

Everyone eventually makes it out, sitting around and by now I can feel him against my hand through his pants

"Hey" Jesse says sitting down beside me making me flinch but I refuse to move

"Hey" I say greeting her

"I didn't sleep at all last night" She says and I nod agreeing. We watch as Violet sits quietly at the end of the table

"What are we gunna do" I say open ended to Jesse and she nods

I feel Malek softly rest his hand around my wrist but doesn't stop me

"Good morning" Cliff says placing down food infront of us before sitting down

"Morning" I say sitting back in my chair

"How's the pretty boy this morning?" Cliff asks with a grin

"Dealing with a leach" he mumbles under his breath and it makes me smile

"Fine" I say responding to Cliff and he nods

I feel Malek grip my wrist tightly pulling me off him. I look over at him and the corner of his mouth is tilted up in the slightest grin

Breakfast wraps up and Malek takes our dishes to the sink, washing them as I sit down on the couch as Jesse joins me.

"I need to get irresistibly hot" I say and Jesse laughs

"Malek?" She laughs looking off the couch at him in the kitchen

"I have makeup in my room" Willow says from the other side of the couch and a smile grows on my face.

"Yes" I say and she smiles standing up as we follow her

Malek watches me carefully confused as I walk into the hall with Willow and Jesse but doesn't say anything.

We enter into her room and it looks like the rest of them but with small nick nacks laying around making it more hers.

She takes us to a stand up mirror on the floor with makeup in bags around it. We sit down around it as Willow starts to open it up before applying it to my face

"I need something hot to wear" I say and Jesse nods

"Wear that dress Alice gave you" Jesse says and I agree.

I will make him break one way or another.
