***Chapter 5: A rival steps in ***

Josh leant against the steering wheel of his car; it had been a week since Amber had told him about Andrew. A whole week Josh and Amber had

searched for him and now Josh sat outside his friend’s apartment, hoping with all his strength that Andrew would appear. A tap at the window made

him jump, turning he looked into the face of an older man, with slat and pepper hair. Josh rolled his window down, hoping the man could tell him

about Andrew.

‘Sorry I didn’t mean to make you jump.’

Josh smiled, ‘No problem. Do you happen-‘

Josh froze as the man raised the gun to his head; the warm air in the car seemed to freeze. The man motioned for Josh to get out of the car and

follow him, Josh didn’t argue. The man indicated a large black car; Josh stared at it the back door was wide open as if waiting for him. Glancing at

the man with the gun Josh climbed into the car, a man sat opposite him. As the door slammed shut the man raised his head, ‘Hello Josh, we’ve

been looking for you.’

Andrew stared at the bedroom door which had been locked again, he had tried to ‘escape’ again and this was his punishment. Andrew hated being

locked away, he wanted to go out, even for five minutes he tried to make a deal with Christian but so far... the lock clicked and Andrew jumped off

the bed. Christian stood in the doorway, his black suit trousers showed the tight muscles of his thighs, his naked chest made Andrew’s breath hitch

in his throat.

Christian smiled at him Andrew turned his face away sharply not want Christian to see the blush that spread across his face. Andrew jumped as

Christian’s finger ran through his hair lo9oking up he saw Christian’s pained eyes staring down at him.

‘Do you want to go out Drew?’

Andrew nodded mutely; the pain in Christian’s eyes seemed to take hold of his heart, his eyes fluttered shut as Christian’s hand moved to cup his

chin. A warm passionate kiss stole the breath from Andrew, he groaned as Christian’s tongue demanded entrance to his mouth. Andrew opened his

mouth letting Christian’s tongue explore and deepen the kiss.

Christian moved forward forcing Andrew back on the bed, he could never get over the incredible warmth of Andrew’s sweet, delicate mouth.

Christian let one hand trail down Andrew’s chest, enjoying the way the boy trembled, the other hand slid into his pocket and a smile played on his

lips. Christian knew if he let Andrew out the boy would try to run away but he wouldn’t let that happen, Drew belonged to him and him alone.

Andrew’s eyes snapped open as a click sounded and something cold settled over his neck, his eyes locked on Christian who had stood and was

staring at him. Reaching up Andrew touched the cool leather around his neck, slowly he trace it until he found a tag...Christian had placed a collar

on him.

‘What the Hell? Christian! Take it off!’

Andrew turned as Christian’s strong arms wrapped around his waist and he was pulled into the strong firm chest, he tried to struggle out of the grip

but Christian just chuckled.

‘It’s to stop you running away, my pet. Besides it looks cute on you.’

‘Take it off! Or I swear I’ll-‘

Andrew didn’t know what happened but suddenly his arms had been pinned above his head and Christian’s arm had snaked possessively around his

waist.

‘You forget you’re place Andrew-You belong to me!’

Andrew gasped as Christian’s teeth bit into his shoulder, he tried to twist out of Christian’s grip but he could escape, tears slid down his cheeks.

Christian released him and let him drop to the floor and turned to walk out of the room, at the door he stopped and turned back, ‘get cleaned up,

and I’ll take you outside.’

Andrew stepped out into the bright sunlight for the first time in a week a smile tugged at his lips as he felt the suns warmth seep into his skin, for

just a moment he forgot everything just happy to enjoy the warmth. Christian’s arm slid around his shoulders pulling him close to the other, ‘You

look beautiful like that.’

Andrew blushed and opened his mouth to answer when a screech of car tires and the world seemed to slow. Andrew saw the windows of the car

open and a man lean out the car; he felt Christian’s body tackle him to the ground then the pop pop pop. Andrew lifted his head and saw the doors

of the car open, he struggled out from under Christian’s weight, his hand slipped in something wet, Andrew raised his hand to his face and felt is

body freeze at the sight of the blood coating it.

‘Christian!’ Andrew shook Christian and cried out his name as rough hands grabbed him, ‘No! Christian! Christian!’ Andrew kicked at the men as he

was lifted from the ground and flung into the back of the car. He scrambled, his fingers closed around the door handle as a hand appear from

behind him the cruel fingers tangled into his hair, yanking his head back painfully.

‘Good night.’

Andrew felt a moment of confusion before his head was slammed into the window and his world turned black.

***

Andrew was rudely awaked as cold water was thrown over him, he sat up quickly and his stomach lurched and his vision swam. His head pounded

and all he could hear was a ringing in his ears, forcing his eyes open Andrew noticed that there where two other men in the room, evil grins on their

faces. Andrew forced himself to his feet and focused on both the other men. The first was about the same height as him with deep blue eyes and a

piecing in his bottom lip, the other man was taller and older then Andrew but there was something about both men that frightened Andrew.

Andrew stepped back as the older man closed the space between them, a smirk appear on his face.

‘So you are Christian’s little toy? You where the boy who fucked up my plans?’

Andrew didn’t know how to answer, the stranger hit him hard across the face and Andrew saw stars.

‘Answer me you little shit!’

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about!’

Andrew was shoved hard into the stone wall, a knife touched his throat.

‘You were the kid who jumped in front of the car.’

Andrew swallowed fear paralyzed him; the blade traced a thin burning line across his neck.

‘Yes.’

The man nodded and then leant closer, Andrew could smell old cigarette smoke on the man’s breathe.

‘Is he fucking you?’

Andrew turned his head away, the blade pressed against his neck again. He felt the blood begin to trickle down his neck.

‘Mr Jackson, I said the boy was not to be harmed.’

The blade eased from his throat but Andrew couldn’t stop his body from shaking. The voice had come from somewhere behind him, he tried to turn

but ‘Mr Jackson’ grabbed his chin forcing his face forward.

‘I believe you where asked a question Andrew, it is rude not to answer.’

Andrew didn’t know the owner of the voice but something about the way the words where spoken. They where cold, calm, quite but the most

frightening thing to Andrew was that they held an unexplainable excitement. Mr Jackson released Andrew chin, the punch that caught Andrew’s jaw

made him see stars and the world spin.

‘The answers please Andrew.’

Andrew spat the blood that filled his mouth on the floor; he flinched as Mr Jackson raised his fist again, ‘yes.’ The word was barely a whisper but he

heard the man behind him touched his hair.

‘Good boy. Mr Jackson, if you would.’

Andrew didn’t have time to wonder what Mr Jackson would do, as the bigger man started to rain down punches on Andrew body. The pain from the

blows was overwhelming, Andrew tried to beg, scream for him to stop but nothing worked. Soon Andrew felt the ringing in his head stop and the

whole world turned black for the second time.

Thomas looked down at the boy, he was small and scrawny but there was something about him, leaning down Thomas slid his finger in between the

collar and Andrew’s pale neck. So this one is getting to you Christian? All the more reason to do this to him.

‘What do you want us to do with him boss?’

Thomas smiled and ran his thumb over the boys slightly parted lips before bring it back to his mouth and licking it, the boy tasted like Christian,

excitement ran through Thomas’ body.

‘Finish it the way I told you, and then dump him near the house.’

Thomas turned and started to walk away, ‘What about the other boy?’

Thomas smiled and turned back to Mr Jackson, ‘show him his options. Let’s see what he really cares about...’

Andrew felt cold, his whole body hurt and his head pounded making him feel sick, and he opened his eyes and tried to clear his head. He was laid

on something cold and hard and the world was dark, he pushed himself up slowly and then paused. Looking around a chocked sob escaped his lips.

Andrew was in the park, completely alone and free.
