Magnus Hale
He crouches down, washing my thighs, moving down to my feet, and
cleaning between my toes with the same absurd attention. Then, he
moves up again, lathering my cock without any sexual intent–just
zeal, just care.
When he finishes the front, he turns me around. His hands travel
slowly down my back, then my buttocks, and there he is even more
careful. I feel him delicately remove the sperm that was inside me,
but without a trace of lust.
As soon as he finishes soaping me up, I step under the water, letting
the foam slide down my body as I rinse off. I take the soap from his
hand and see his eyes go so wide they look like they’re going to pop
out.
“You don’t need to clean me, love,” his voice comes out low, almost
pleading. “I like taking care of you, so…”
“Be quiet,” I interrupt him firmly.
He obeys instantly, closing his mouth and lowering his gaze. I take a

deep breath and begin to scrub his shoulder, sliding slowly down to
his chest, his stomach, and then his thighs. I crouch down until I
reach his feet, washing between his toes with the same care he
showed me.
When I stand back up, I realize his entire body is shaking. It’s so
intense that I can hear his heartbeat–loud and hurried, as if my every
touch is too much for him to handle.
“You take care of me… and I take care of you, Adrian,” I say in a
serene tone. “It’s that simple.”
I turn him around and wash his back, then his buttocks, and finally, I
turn him back to face me. Calmly, I rub his face, tracing every feature
as if I were memorizing him. He steps under the water and rinses
quickly but immediately pulls me into a tight hug, his face pressed
against my chest.
“This can only be a dream,” his breathless voice barely sustains the
words. “I never imagined you’d take the initiative… not in sex, and
not now, taking care of me like this. It has to be a dream.”
I roll my eyes and let out a huff, even with a slight smile hidden away.
I return the embrace, squeezing him back.
“It’s not a dream, Adrian. It’s real. Now let’s dry off and lie down. I’m

exhausted.”
He just nods, but not before kissing my chest affectionately. I turn off
the shower, and he grabs the towel to dry me, every movement loaded
with care and a silly happiness plastered across his face. Then it’s my
turn to dry him, and I do it with the same patience.
I don’t feel like wearing anything. I just pull him by the hand toward
the bed. I lie down and bring him with me, nesting his cheek against
my chest. I feel his heart race even faster against my skin–so fast it’s
almost funny.
“This kid is going to die of a heart attack just because I decided to
take the lead,” I think to myself before closing my eyes.
I feel the soft touch of his lips on my cheek, a simple kiss, but one
loaded with devotion.
“Goodnight, love. Sleep well,” he says in a low, serene tone.
He hugs me tightly, as if he’s afraid to let go, and pulls the sheet over us. I breathe deeply, feeling the warmth of his body against mine, and
press a kiss to his still–damp hair.
“Goodnight, Adrian. You sleep well too.”

I close my eyes again and let sleep envelop me, cradled by his embrace, by the frantic beat of his heart, and by the strange but
comforting sense of peace he gives me.
I still can’t believe I didn’t mind being the submissive one… that, in
fact, it was good. Very good. The feeling of him dominating me was
too intense, almost addictive. And to make matters worse, I admitted to myself–if only to myself–that Adrian is beautiful when he loses
control.
This kid has already found a way into my heart, even if I try to deny
- it. I can say I like his presence, his insane care, and this twisted way
he wants to protect me from everything.
It’s strange, but at the same time… I feel comfortable. Who would have thought that one day I’d be like this with him? Me, of all people,
who wanted to kill him for deceiving me, for taking my power.
Now I find myself curious… I’m curious to know how I’ll react when-
not “if,” but “when“-I fall in love with Adrian. The idea scares me, but
it fascinates me too.
I already like his presence; I like the way he looks at me.
What will become of me when I truly love him?
