53 They want to burn me alive

Teddy was breathing heavily. He closed the fridge and turned to look at Logan, who was standing behind him. He was staring at Teddy with intense eyes, smirking while biting his lower lip. Teddy held his pants tightly. Logan noticed. "Why? Don't you want me to help you out?" he asked.

"No, it's not like that, sir; it's just that we're not in the right place to do that. I'm shy," Teddy said, blushing and stuttering while staring in the opposite direction, avoiding eye contact.

Logan smirked as he touched Teddy's chin in a playful manner. "What do you mean we're not in the right place, huh?. It seems like that little brain of yours is filled with dirty thoughts."

Teddy immediately got back to his senses and realized that he had been tricked. "You said you wanted to help me out," he said while stuttering,staring at Logan.

"Yes, I did say that I wanted to help you cook something that we can eat since we both are hungry," Logan said, hitting Teddy's head jokingly. Teddy was so embarrassed that he misunderstood Logan's intentions. He pushed Logan away and opened the fridge again. On the other hand, Logan was enjoying teasing him; he was laughing while walking to the table to take a seat. He sat on the chair and took a banana that was placed in the fruit basket.

"So have you decided whether you want me to help you out or not?" he asked while peeling a banana.

"Lier! He never wanted to help me cook; he just wanted to confuse me so that I would embarrass myself in front of him," he said in his thoughts. 

"No I'll be okay just tell me what you want to eat and I'll prepare it for you", Teddy said, taking a sneak peek at Logan.

Logan was looking at Teddy intensely. He licked the banana from the bottom to the top while staring at Teddy. He then took a small bite. "I'm not a picky person; just make me anything; as long as it's made by you, I'll eat it," he responded.

Teddy was so shy and didn't know what to do. He was still embarrassed by the fact that he misunderstood Logan. Now he was not sure whether Logan was intentionally seducing him or if it was still one of his wild imaginations. His heart was beating faster while he was looking at Logan's lips.

His knees became weak, and his body was getting hot. While he was still looking at Logan, who was chowing a banana, He suddenly realized that he was dangerously falling for him more and more each day. "You have beautiful lips that make me want to suck them," Teddy said while looking at Logan's lips.

Logan almost choked because he didn't see that coming. "What did you say?" He asked, widening his eyes while wiping his mouth.

Teddy suddenly realized that he just said that out loud. He couldn't stay in the same room with Logan anymore; he was so embarrassed that it felt like he was standing in front of him naked. He rushed to their bedroom and locked himself there, forgetting that he was hungry. Logan smirked as he went to the fridge to prepare something to eat.

He ate his food, prepared something for Teddy, and took it to their room. All the workers in the house were shocked; it was their first time seeing their boss lively; it felt like they were watching a different person. A person who was always serious without showing any expressions on his face was smiling widely and caring for a cup of food for someone else.

When he got to their room he tried to open the door but he realized that it was locked. He knew that Teddy was dying of embarrassment which made him to stifle a laughter. He wanted to tease him more but he then remembered that if he did he would spend a couple of hours being locked outside of the room and that wouldn't be good for him because he values his pride more once he let Teddy mistreat him the people around the house will call him weak. So he decided to pull his mafia card.

"If you don't want to die you better open this door right now, I don't have the whole day to play one of your stupid games", Logan said with a serious voice.

There was no response…

"I'm going to count to three! One, two, thr… .. "

Teddy opened the door. He was disappointed by Logan's sudden reaction, he only hoped that Logan was going to beg him to open up the door but instead he forced his way in as he always does. The reality kicked in. He suddenly remembered that he was not supposed to get mad in the first place as there is no serious relationship between them.

Logan entered with a cray of food. "Eat this food we're going to your place to take your notebooks".

Teddy didn't say anything he ate his food in silence. While he was doing so Logan went to the closet to change his clothes. Teddy finished eating his food. He also went to the closet to change his clothes to prepare for their trip.When he got there he found Logan shirtless. He was lost in thoughts that he forgot that Logan went in first.

When he got in, Logan raised his eyebrows while looking at Teddy. Teddy's jaws dropped as he stared at Logan's shirtless body. "His body is getting more muscled each day, is he working out", he thought as he made his way towards Logan.

When he got towards Logan. He touched his body with his tiny cold hands, swallowing his saliva. "Are you working out", he asked as he kept staring and touching Logan's nipples.

Logan pushed Teddy away which he almost caused Teddy to fall.

"Who gave you the right to touch my body without permission. Do you have a death wish", Logan shouted, staring at Teddy angrily.

"I can't believe that I shamelessly did that. Why am I suddenly becoming sexual attracted to this rude man. It seems like I lost my self respect", Teddy thought.

"I'm sorry sir please forgive me for my rude behavior", Teddy said, staring at the floor.

"instead of whoring around you should get ready I don't have the whole day I have to prepare for my tonight's meeting", he said, buttoning up his t-shirt while walking out from the closet.

Teddy felt so ashamed with what he just did but the thing that hurt him the most was because Logan just called him a whore. He couldn't understand his mixed emotions towards Logan which was driving him crazy. No matter how much he got hurt by him, he can't stop getting attracted to him.

Teddy finished dressing up. They both went to the car which was drove off by one of Logan's body guards. Teddy gave them his location. In their way they were all quite. Teddy kept looking in the window not realizing that Logan was staring at him. They finally arrived in Alex and Logan's jaw dropped. "Were you staring in a place like this? "he asked.

Teddy didn't respond, he got out of the car and walked to his house while he was lost in thoughts. "In these couple of days I forgot the life I was living. I forgot that I have a friend and that I haven't paid my debts. Logan was right, breathing the air of luxury homes made me to forget that I'm just a sex slave",he said in thoughts.

Logan noticed that Teddy was lost in thoughts so he didn't want to disturb him instead he walked behind him, covering his nose with a white cloth. When they got in the house. The debts collectors were about to burn Teddy's shack.

"We're just wasting ours time. burning this place won't change the fact that that stupid boy ran with our money", the other man said.

Teddy finally arrived towards his house while he was lost in thoughts. When he stared from a distance he noticed that some of the debts collectors were standing in front of his house. He immediately turned around to run when he noticed that Logan was walking behind him. "Sir didn't you stay in your car? ",he asked, widening his eyes.

"No I didn't.Why are you feeling nervous and why are you going back?

"It's nothing sir",he said, clearing his throat.

"Then if it's nothing let's go, I don't have the whole day",Logan said rising his eyebrows while covering his nose with a white cloth.

"I can't backdown now even if I want to I have to face those debt collectors and embarrass my self more in front of Sir", Teddy said in thoughts.

"Sir please wait for me here I'll be quick, my place is more disgusting I don't think that you can survive there judging by the way you've covered your mouth",Teddy said, looking at Logan.

Logan didn't said anything instead he nodded. Teddy went to his place. When he got there he didn't even have time to greet. The neighbors were already shouting.

 "The owner of this place is right here",the other person shouted.

"Instead of burning the shack burn him instead cause once you burn his shack our shacks will also be affected" ,the other one shouted.

"Yes they should burn him, we can't die for his sins! "

"He is even new in this place we don't know him!"

"He must die! "

The people were all angry that Teddy's problems were going to affect them. They wanted him to die instead. On the other hand, Teddy was sweating, breathing heavily, and didn't know what to do. He knew that once he opened his mouth to ask for forgiveness, he wouldn't be forgiven; instead, he would be making people more angry than they already are.

"So you decided to to come out of hiding. I hope that you came with our money. Give us",the other man said walking towards Teddy while putting his hands inside his pocket.

Teddy didn't said anything instead he was breathing heavily.

"Don't tell me you don't have it",the other man said, while lifting his eyebrows.

"Don't waste your time boys, You can see this pussy doesn't have money"

"The community gave us the permission we should burn him and film a video I'm sure that boss will love it"

The tears started falling on Teddy's face. "I can't die like this, God help me",he said in thoughts.

"No, we're not going to burn him, but we'll sell him," the other man said.

"You know damn well that our boss enjoys watching others in pain, so we're not going to sell him; we'll burn him alive. Who knows, maybe that will make the boss give us a raise"

"Why are you guys arguing right now? Didn't we agree the first time that we'd sell the boy?" 

The four men were arguing about what they should do to the boy. The community didn't care about what they decided to do; all they wanted was for their shacks to be safe because they knew that once the debt collectors burned Teddy's shacks, they'd all suffer since their shacks were too close to one another. 

Their arguments were getting too intense. Teddy was in the middle of them and didn't know what to do. All he wanted was to escape from his cruel reality and go to a place where no one knew him. The debt collectors were about to fight one another until they heard a voice behind them. 

If you want to die, I dare you to burn or sell that boy! "he shouted.
