Adam swung the wooden spear with momentum, using his core as a way to propel the sharpened tip against the hay circle. Abigail shouted orders after orders, watching him with piercing eyes. She was amazed with how fast the knight was learning. Or he should be called a warrior, or a spearman now, as he had chosen to surrender his sword for a spear. It had been a few days since they had started to train together. Abigail had started by showing Adam the basics, and the man was nearly done learning them by now. She wouldn't say it was perfect, but it was better than not knowing anything.

Sweat ran down Adam's forehead, making him frown as some of it got into his eyes. He didn't dare close them though, nor stop. He knew it would only make Abigail upset. He licked his lips, tasting the salt on them. His muscles were burning, and his arms felt like cement. His legs seemed to have fused with the ground, but he wouldn't stop.

He couldn't stop.

If he wanted to be stronger, if he wanted to help others, if he wanted to be able to stand on equal footing with Evan, he couldn't stop. He wouldn't allow himself to.

Adam let out a shout as the wood of the spear pierced the red circle in the middle of the hay bundle, making it enter all the way until the socket.

"We are done for the day, you can rest. You are ready for some practical learning, meaning you will start heading into dungeons starting tomorrow. We will alternate the training between theoretical learning and practical one for the next few weeks, until you master all the basic moves perfectly. You can leave now." Abigail said, turning her back to Adam and walking away without a second glance.

Erwin was, after all, waiting for her at home.

Adam's knees shook and he crumbled to the floor, gasping heavily for breath. Abigail's way of teaching was absolutely monstrous, but he didn't regret agreeing to her offer. He wanted to get stronger, faster.

"Master, are you alright?" Evan asked with a concerned tone, coming toward Adam with a towel in his hand and a gourd. At first, both of them hadn't understood Abigail's request of asking for the slave's body. Then, Erwin had explained that he needed some strong muscles to lift the boxes he had in the backstore.

The following days had been pretty redundant. In the morning, Adam went to train with Abigail until late at night, while Evan spent all his days with Erwin in his store. He would then come see Adam as he trained, before bringing him a towel and a gourd like now. They would both head to their inn, not sharing a word, get ready for bed and then sleep. It was an understatement to say that the atmosphere had been heavy. It was unsupportable.

However, neither were willing to relent first.

Adam was struggling with his emotions and thus didn't realize the awkward relationship he had with Evan, while the slave felt too offended by his master's attitude to tackle the topic.

Adam took the objects handed to him and mumbled a thank you, keeping his face down to avoid Evan's probing gaze. The deep brown eyes had been too menacing lately to look into them. Evan frowned, before clenching his fists.

He had had enough. Tonight, they would talk.

Both men walked into the inn and headed toward their chamber. Adam took the lead, while Evan lagged behind, looking at his master's back as he went up the stairs. His muscled bottom stretched the pants deliciously.

Inside the room, Adam immediately went to take a shower. Evan took a place on the bed and pondered over the way to bring up the subject occupying his mind for the last few days. He had so many things to say, but he wasn't one accustomed to using words. He preferred using actions. In the present case, he didn't think it would work.

Evan's head turned sharply toward the bathroom when Adam opened the door. The slave gulped as steam enveloped the warrior's body, making his skin appear smooth and shiny. Water droplets slid down the muscles and only a short towel was placed dangerously low on Adam's hips. Evan's eyes stared at Adam's bulging chest as the latter messily dried his hair with a towel, making the muscles pop out even more.

As the warrior walked in front of him with his hips swaying, heading toward the nightstand where his hairbrush was placed, Evan finally couldn't hold back and quickly snatched Adam's waist. His arms went around the middle of Adam's body and he used pure force to throw the startled man on the bed.

Adam bounced on the mattress and tried to stabilize himself with his hands. A shadow passed before his eyes clenched shut, making him open them wide. His breath was cut off when he fell face to face with a staring Evan. The slave caged his master with his giant body, putting his hands on both sides of the warrior on the bed. Adam sat on his spot and shivered as Evan's knee came up between his two legs, making them open slightly wider to accommodate the giant man. The fabric of the leather pants rubbed against his naked skin.

Adam quickly pressed on the towel at his waist as he realized it was getting dangerously high, nearly showing his private parts.

"Don't be shy, I want to see." Evan said in his deep baritone voice, sending tremors down Adam's spine. The man looked completely gobsmacked at the brown-haired giant, wondering just what kind of mosquitoes had bitten him. Evan took the man's wrists in his hands before Adam could react and slammed them above the warrior's head, making it so that Adam was completely at his mercy, his whole body tensed as it was stretched. The slave crawled between his master's legs, making them open without a chance to resist. Adam's chest rose and fell violently, not sure if he liked the way he was completely under the man's control.

Evan finally stopped when his chest reached Adam's, the front of his shirt caressing the man's naked skin with each up and down of it. His hot breath sprawled on Adam's face as they stared at each other in the eyes. The warrior could see the solid want in the giant's brown pupils, silently commending submission from him.

He felt like he could give the man what he wanted.

Hey dear readers, it's starting to get spicy!

How do you think it will end? With Adam's cherry busted or Evan's eye?
