Jake's POV
I sit still in my cage, praying to God that I will get sold today. It won't happen though, I'm too old. Suddenly, Master Xander walks in. Oh Lord Jesus help me. He drags me out of the canine cage and throws me to the floor. I feel my entire body ache.
"Wash up. The auction starts in ten minutes." He says heartlessly and then leaves the room. I go to the small restroom and start up a shower. Unlike most, my shower consists of freezing cold water and no washing materials. I get out and dry myself with a worn towel. I wait patiently for Master Xander to walk back in. When he does, he grabs me by the collar of my tattered shirt and drags me to auction room. I bite down on my lip to make sure I don't make a sound. I'm brought up to the small stage and listen quietly as the bidder begins listing my details. Then, begins the worst part.
"3 million dollars sold to Mister Matthew Devince!" The bidder says. My heart leaps with joy but I continue studying the wood grains. I feel my collar get tugged again and Xander is dragging me back to my old room.
"I'll miss you, Kitty~" Xander whispers in my ear. I shudder and I am faced with my new master. Lord, he is gorgeous. His piercing green eyes stare into my soft blue ones. We then leave and Master Matthew leads me to a fancy looking car.
"Get in." He states bluntly. His voice is very smooth and deep.
"Y-Yes, Sir," I whisper and get into the lush vehicle.
"So, what's your name?" He asks me.
Matthew's POV
I ask the beautiful boy his name. His eyes widen with fear.
"Your name?" I ask him again, my voice softening.
"I-It's J-Jake." He says, obviously not used to kindness. Adorable.
"Okay, Jake. How old are you?" I ask him softly, not wanting to frighten him. He reminds me of a fawn in the forest.
"Twenty-one, I think. I haven't had a birthday since I was about five." He whispers. Oh, this poor boy.
"Alright. So, what was your job for Xander if you don't mind me asking." I say to him. Based on the look on his face, I triggered something. Suddenly he breaks down into tears. I feel my heart almost stop.
"I-I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" He says, tears streaming down his adorable face. I can't stand seeing him this way.
"It's okay, Jake. I'm not going to hurt you." I say, rubbing his back.
"Y-You won't?" He asks, looking up at me with gorgeous eyes.
"No. I only bought you so you were out of that hell hole and able to live your life the right way." I explain to the boy.
"T-Thank you..." He whispers. The Limo stops and I take him to his new home for the time being.
Jake stares, wide-eyed. So cute. I walk him in and to his room.
Jake's POV
Master walks me into his lush home. He walks me to a large blue accented room.
"Is t-this for me?" I ask him. He nods and smiles. His smile is so pretty.
"I put some clothes in the wardrobe for you. We will get more when we need to, okay?" He says to me. I smile and nod.
"Thank you, Sir," I say to him.
"Call me Matthew or Matt." He says and then leaves. I lay down on my new bed and instantly fall asleep for what feels like the first time in forever.
A/n: That's the first chapter.
