Aidan woke up smiling. He could barely contain his excitement.
"Why are you so cheerful?" asked his tutor, Mercedes.
"I just have a good feeling," Aidan replied.
Around midday, guests started to leave and Aidan got nervous. Maybe Maddox had forgotten him. He prayed that he hadn't been abandoned.
After his reading lesson, there wasn't much for him to do. He was a slave intended purely for pleasure and had no chores to distract him from his thoughts. He tried to practice writing, but found himself daydreaming about Maddox.
The sun started to sink and Aidan knew that his fears had come true. Maddox had forgotten him. A messenger arrived informing him that Master was ready. Aidan cried for a while. He had wanted to be with Maddox so badly. He wiped his tears away quickly, knowing that he would not please his master that way. It would just be best to forget Maddox and accept his fate.
Master had instructed that Aidan have leather cuffs on his wrists and ankles. He prepared himself and waited for the servant to come fetch him.
The knock on his door came later than he expected and when Aidan opened the door, two large, rough looking men were waiting. They grabbed him and stuffed a gag into his mouth before covering his head with a hood. Aidan struggled for a moment, and then went limp. He didn't really care what they did to him. Maddox hadn't kept his promise. Aidan was worthless. He wished he could just die.

Maddox gazed intensely out the window of his room. He was getting anxious. The men he had hired were professionals that had been loyal to his father, but he was beginning to worry they had turned on him.
He saw three riders in the distance and rode out on his black stallion to meet them. Anger surged through him when he saw the small slave had been tied to a horse, his head covered with a dark hood. At least they had clothed him in a thin tunic.
Maddox paid them without saying a word and lifted Aidan onto his horse. When the kidnappers were gone, Maddox lifted the hood away from Aidan's face. The boy moaned into the cloth gag in his mouth. Maddox removed that too and kissed Aidan's cheek.
"You didn't forget," Aidan whispered, and then he groaned, clutching his side.
"I'm sorry for your discomfort, little one. Things didn't go as I'd planned. You're safe now though."
Maddox carried Aidan inside his fortress and ordered the servants to prepare a bath. He removed the leather cuffs from Aidan's wrists and ankles and stripped off his tunic. Maddox kissed the boy's stomach and Aidan whimpered. Maddox grinned with satisfaction as he removed the collar from Aidan's pale neck. He licked the warm flesh and Aidan started to grind his erection against Maddox.
"Are you going to bite me?" Aidan asked hopefully because he could feel sharp points against his skin.
"Not yet," Maddox said with a chuckle.
He lifted Aidan into the tub of water and the boy watched in awe as Maddox stripped his clothes away. Maddox climbed into the bath with Aidan, who couldn't resist reaching out and trying to encircle his hands around Maddox's girth. His small delicate hand felt very nice, but did not fully encircle Maddox's throbbing cock.
He leaned back in the water and pulled Aidan onto his lap. The boy wriggled with delight and Maddox started to rub his hands over the boy's stomach.
"I'm so happy," Aidan said.
"Show me how happy you are, little one," Maddox whispered.
Aidan started to kiss Maddox eagerly, his small tongue swirling around in Maddox's mouth. He made satisfied little whimpering noises and put his hand on the head of Maddox's cock. Aidan started to kiss Maddox's neck and then moved down to his chest. Maddox put his hand on Aidan's ass and the boy moaned.
The purpose of the bath was forgotten as the two explored each other's bodies. Maddox ran his finger over Aidan's amazingly tight and smooth opening, imagining all the things that he could do. Aidan shivered and sucked at Maddox's nipple. It felt like little sparks of fire went through his body. Maddox finally stood and carried Aidan out of the tub and to his bed.
Aidan nearly purred at the softness of the silk sheets and down stuffed mattress. Maddox was on top of him in an instant, though careful not to rest all of his weight on Aidan. He grabbed Aidan's wrists and lightly pinned them above his head. Maddox started to kiss and lick all over Aidan's body. He sucked at the boy's neck, but did not bite. The boy writhed with pleasure and moaned.
"Make me yours," he pleaded.
Maddox moved away and Aidan whimpered.
