Chapter Seventeen

Things changed. The subtle differences in the way Liam looked at him, spoke to him and touched him made Tye uneasy. He wondered if Liam didn’t want him anymore now he’d grown up. He wished he knew how old he was. He guessed he was twenty, but when he asked Liam, the answer was always the same—eleven.

Not to be wanted was something to rejoice in, yet something to fear. Not just because rejection might lead to Tye’s demise, but because Liam might take another child. It was only the amount of time Liam spent with him that made Tye believe he’d not already taken another boy to play with.

Tye longed, and yet didn’t long, to be sick enough to require a doctor, but he was never ill. He lived in a concrete bubble. He wished he had enough willpower to starve himself. Liam never gave him enough to eat and Tye knew that in keeping him hungry, it kept him eating.

But Tye craved revenge more than death. Revenge kept him breathing, kept dragging him back to be warmed by flickers of hope when he believed all hope had gone.

He thought he’d go mad. How could anyone go through this and stay sane?

One day everything changed.

Tye woke in a different room. One with windows and furniture. He lay on a large, comfortable bed facing a wall of glass that looked out over the sea. He blinked against the brightness even though it was a cloudy day. A dream. If he closed his eyes, it would be gone, but he was afraid to close his eyes in case it did disappear. The sea. The sky. The call of a gull. The faint hum of traffic. The sound of water.

He tried to sit up and couldn’t. His arms and legs were leaden. His head ached. His throat was sore and parched. His jaw hurt. Tye slid his hand over his chest and felt the sticky residue of come. The dull ache in his backside told him he’d been fucked hard.

He turned his head when he heard a door open and a naked stranger walked out of a bathroom. Tye began to shake. The guy was tall and narrow shouldered with straight, dark hair and olive skin. He looked foreign.

The man crawled into bed and stroked Tye’s face. “My beautiful boy with those beautiful green eyes.”

How could he have been fucked and not remember? What drug had Liam given him? Tye saw an opportunity and took it.

He mustered enough strength to lean over and kiss the guy’s stubbled cheek. “Can…stay?” The words sounded strange coming from his mouth. Had he made sense?

But after sex in bed and sex in the shower, after Tye had given the best performance of his life, he fell asleep and woke back in hell, not even sure any of it had ever happened. But the name Jasim convinced him otherwise. Too unusual for him to have made up.
