Ch. 206..210: Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion Chapter 206-210

Chapter 206: Unexpected Little Gift

"Hayden?" I called out questioningly.

The door opened but no one walked in. Who opened the door just now?

Usually no one would open my door without knocking except for Hayden. I stared curiously at the door as if waiting for something to happen. There was a brief moment of silence while nothing happened, and I debated with myself if I should get up and check. Hopefully, no one was playing a silly prank on me.

I called out Hayden’ name once more, and once again, I didn’t receive any type of reply. By this time, my curiosity had completely taken over and I decided to stand up from my seat and approach the open door. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect so I was extra shocked when suddenly something ran in through the doorway.

It all happened so fast that I wasn’t sure what had just run inside at first until I looked down and found a small fluffy puppy standing right at my feet.

How did this little guy get here?

The adorable little thing stood at my feet and stared up at me with round puppy eyes. This was probably why people called this look ’puppy eyes’. The puppy continued staring up at me before it got closer and began licking my ankle. It’s warm and wet tongue lapping at my ankle and feet, making me feel slightly ticklish. This little guy is so cute, I thought as I bent down to get a closer look at him.

I wasn’t a dog fanatic or anything but if I wasn’t wrong, judging from this little guy’s appearance. Puffy roundish body, short legs, light brown and white fur and very long upstanding ears.

"You’re a corgi, aren’t you?" I asked with a bright smile.

The puppy barked softly a few times as if to answer my question and I reached out my hand and started petting its head. Its fur is so soft, and I felt immediately happier just stroking it. The puppy wagged its short tail frantically as it danced around in front of me. The little guy seemed so excited, and I found myself laughing carefreely.

I’ve seen photos of puppies like this on social media quite a lot based on the trends, but I didn’t have a lot of experience interacting with real puppies like this.

Wait…that’s not the issue right now. Why is there a puppy here? Whose puppy is it anyways?

"How did you get here? Where’s your owner?" I asked the puppy before I started to feel quite dumb.

Why am I asking the puppy? He probably had no idea what was going on and even if he did, he couldn’t speak and tell me all about it.

"You’re its new owner,"

I turned at the unexpected reply to my question. My eyes widened when I saw Hayden leaning against the doorframe with his eyes on me. When did he get there and how long has he been watching me?

"Umm…what do you mean by that?" I asked to confirm if I understood things correctly.

"It’s as I said. That puppy is yours now…unless you don’t want him," Hayden replied casually.

"You bought this puppy…for me?" I asked, still not quite sure if I understood the situation correctly.

It was just so sudden, Hayden never mentioned anything about getting a puppy or anything along those lines. On top of that, it just felt very weird to see something so small, cute, and fluffy around someone as intimidating as Hayden. I glanced over at him with an uncertain look on my face as I wondered what he had planned.

"Of course, I did. Did you think the puppy would appear out of thin air or something?" Hayden replied sarcastically.

That wasn’t what I meant at all…

I looked down at the puppy that was now licking my fingers busily. I wondered if it was hungry or if it just wanted to play. Without knowing it, I had started smiling as I lifted the small puppy into my hands and cradled it in my arms like a baby. It’s so adorable and soft. The puppy seemed to like the attention that it was receiving.

I could feel Hayden’s eyes on me as I walked the puppy over towards the sofa. Hayden approached me after I sat down on the sofa with the small puppy on my lap. The sofa shifted a little under his weight when he sat down next to me. He leaned over and stared down at the puppy on my lap. At that exact moment, the puppy whimpered like it was scared or in pain.

"Don’t stare at it so much. I think it’s scared of you…" I said as I quickly petted the poor thing.

Hayden’s brows knitted together, and a scowl graced his angelic features. It seemed like my warning only made him more irritated than before.

"This dog probably doesn’t like me or something. It barked all the time when it was in the car with me and when I tried to touch it, it almost bit my fingers off. Dangerous little thing…" Hayden complained accusingly.

"Really? He seems sweet and very docile. Are you sure that you didn’t do anything to it that it didn’t like?" I asked, not quite convinced at what Hayden was saying.

"You’re blaming me? I knew it, I shouldn’t have believed Luka when he told me to get a puppy…this is all a big shitty mistake…" Hayden muttered as the aura around him darkened miserably.

He turned to stare back at the puppy and the poor thing whinnied in fear while a shiver ran through my body. I hugged the puppy close to my chest as if to shied it from danger. That stare was so scary. Is this what they called a death stare? I could feel so much murderous intent in that light blue gaze…

"Not at all. I’m very happy that you bought me a puppy. It was just…a little unexpected. Oh, but it’s completely fine. It’s a…super pleasant surprise. I am very happy, and I really appreciate all that you’ve done.

Thank you so much, Hayden!" I quickly expressed my joy before he turned the poor puppy to pulp.

 

Chapter 207: Because You Were Lonely

Hayden eyes widened in surprise at my words and his expression seemed to soften. It was like the sun started to shine through the dark stormy clouds and then the dark grey clouds started to disperse. His eyes glanced over at the puppy on my lap once more before he grinned while I prayed that the puppy’s life would be spared.

"If you say so…" Hayden muttered.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The puppy was a surprising gift for sure, but it wasn’t like I disliked it. I’ve been feeling quite lonely being in the mansion all alone during the day so having this little guy with me might not be a bad thing after all. Now that I think about it, I’ve been assuming that it’s a male. Is it even a male?

The fastest way to find out is just to check. I lifted the puppy up in front of my face to check out its gender. It’s still so young and so small so it wasn’t hard to lift up. I wondered how big it’ll get. I should spend some time tonight doing some research on the breed. Did Hayden buy any dog food or toys for it?

"What are you doing?" Hayden asked and I could feel that he was watching me.

"Seeing if it’s a girl or a boy," I replied.

"It’s a boy. I wanted to get you a girl but he’s the only one available right now…" Hayden replied.

"There’s nothing bad about having a male dog. I’m honestly neutral between the two sexes," I said before flashing Hayden a smile.

"I don’t know…" Hayden muttered, unconvinced.

It seemed like he wasn’t thrilled with having a male puppy.

"You don’t like male dogs?" I asked curiously.

"I don’t know. It just feels…weird to have…never mind that," Hayden said before he turned away from me.

I wondered what he was trying to say but I decided not to push him. It probably wasn’t anything important anyways. Plus, even if he doesn’t like the puppy now, I’m sure that Hayden will start to like this little guy soon enough. How can anyone not like him, he’s so fluffy, soft and cute!

"You should give it a name," Hayden said matter-of-factly.

"You’re right. Hmm…" I replied in agreement.

I’ve never had a pet before. My parents just didn’t allow it although I’ve always wanted a pet of some kind. They thought that dogs and cats were too much bother for us to take care of and they were too convinced that I would be too irresponsible to take care of it. In the end, it was better that I didn’t have a pet.

Thing were rough enough when I lost my parents without me having to take care of another life.

This was a completely new experience for me, and I never thought that coming up with a name for a pet would be so difficult. What should I name him? He’s such a cute little guy…

I glanced over at Hayden and an idea started to form in my head.

"What about Little Hayden?" I suggested with a smile.

"That’s…a very bad name," Hayden said as his eyes narrowed at me.

It was clear that he didn’t like the name and he didn’t think that it was funny either.

"Huh? Why? I think it’s so cute!" I said excitedly.

Regardless of what he thought, I still thought that my idea wasn’t bad. The name was cute too.

"I don’t like it. Pick something else," Hayden said irritated.

"No, I’m going to name him Little Hayden," I stated firmly as I patted the puppy’s head fondly.

His fur is so soft. It feels so wonderful that I could feel my soul melting into mush. This must be called puppy power.

"Why did you have to include my name into its name?" Hayden asked with a scornful look.

"Why not?" I asked cluelessly.

I had no idea why he was so against it. Shouldn’t he like it that his name was included?

"When you call me…he’ll come running…" Hayden muttered darkly.

Well, now that he mentioned it, I guess that might be true but is that a problem?

"I’ll think of you when I look at him…" I said with a sweet smile.

Hayden stared at me wordlessly as he seemed to consider my words.

"So…why did you buy me a puppy?" I asked in wonder.

"You told me that you were lonely during the day...so I asked Luka if he had any ideas. He told me that getting you a dog for a companion might be a good solution so that’s what I did…" Hayden replied stiffly.

I guess I did tell him something like that. It wasn’t like I expected him to do anything about it and I didn’t think that he would take my word to heart like this. I looked down at the cheerful puppy on my lap as I realized how much Hayden had been thinking about me.

Probably because he couldn’t fulfill my ultimate wish of going back outside to live a normal life, he was finding ways to help make my life in this mansion more bearable and less boring.

"I see. Thank you…for thinking of me," I thanked him.

"It’s nothing. If you like him then it’s all good. If he gets too naughty or if you decide that you don’t want him anymore, just let me know…" Hayden said.

I wondered for a split of a second what he meant by that but then I decided that I didn’t want to find out.

"I’m sure that he’ll behave and be a good boy. So, let’s keep him here with us," I quickly insisted.

Poor Little Hayden, why do I keep feeling that your life is in danger right now?

"Oh, I almost forgot. I was so excited about Little Hayden that it slipped my mind. Have you had dinner? The food is probably all cold by now, but the maids can heat it up," I said in slight panic.

"I’m not hungry. It’s ok…" Hayden murmured.

"Really? I think you should eat properly. You always make sure that I eat my meals so you should do the same, don’t you think? Talking about food, has Little Hayden eaten? Did you buy dog food for him?" I asked rapidly.

"Are you worried about me or the dog? I got him food, don’t worry…" Hayden replied followed by a long sigh of exhaustion.

"Really? Great. Let’s feed him!" I cried out cheerfully.

 

Chapter 208: An Evening Well Spent

To my pleasant surprise, Hayden bought a lot of stuff for Little Hayden. I’m starting to call the puppy Little Hayden now, but it was clear that Hayden still hated the idea and the name. It might be weird if two ’Haydens’ turn up when I call for him. Also, it might be weird for Hayden to say his own name as part of the dog’s name when he calls for it.

Well, if things don’t work out, I can always think of a new name.

The maids brought in all the stuff that Hayden got for the dog, and I had to admit that he had a habit of over-buying everything. There was so much stuff that I felt stupid worrying about the lack of dog food. There was dog food, dry and wet, and other things that would spoil Little Hayden rotten.

A dog bed, chew toys, plush toys, various dog snacks, many collars in different colors, dog clothes, dog shoes, leashes, a stroller, shampoo and so many other things that I didn’t bother to go through anymore. I closed the large brown box and decided to deal with everything when I had the time.

It was getting late and after Little Hayden had eaten his full of food and some snacks, he began drifting off to a peaceful sleep right there on the floor. I laid out his bed on the floor close to the sofa and lifted his small body onto his bed. It’s probably a good idea to train him where he should sleep early on so that he could get used to it.

"He’s finally asleep…" Hayden whispered as if afraid that he would wake the little puppy.

I looked over at Hayden before offering him a smile. Despite what he says, I could feel that Hayden probably had a soft spot for animals. Recalling our time together at the tiger conservatory when we played with the tiger cubs brought back really good memories and feelings. He was gentle to the animals back then too.

"I guess I should thank Luka the next time that I see him for giving you this genius idea of getting me a dog. I’m sure that I’ll be a lot less lonely with him around and I’ll probably be busy dealing with his mischief and struggling to toilet train him…" I said with a laugh.

"I’ll let him know that you send your thanks," Hayden replied with a nod.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. The website is completed now, and I managed to add in the commission form that we talked about. Want to have a look?" I suggested with a proud smile.

"Show me," he said.

Hayden’s eyes were on the output of my hard work as I showed him the completed website and the form that thankfully worked. He seemed to be thinking of something as he scrolled through images of my past artworks that I have added to showcase my portfolio on the website.

"What do you think? Does it look ok?" I asked as I bit my lower lip anxiously.

"It looks great. We’ll go with this for now," Hayden replied before he patted the top of my head.

I smiled a little at him as I tried to keep myself from blushing at his compliment. It was rare for him to compliment anything that I do so I guess I felt more than a little happy. Now that the website was up and running, I wondered what I should do next so that my career wouldn’t be put on hold while I am stuck holed up in this place.

"Great then. I guess I’ll work on some painting tomorrow. Maybe I’ll paint some flowers in the garden around the mansion. I saw many beautiful flowers the last time I went there…" I said thoughtfully as I planned my next move.

"Sounds like a good plan. I’m just relieved that you got the website up and running in time," Hayden said sounding satisfied.

"In time for?" I asked, catching on to his words.

He did just say something about me making it in time, didn’t he?

"Nothing. Just enjoy your time with…Little Hayden…" Hayden said with much hesitation around the dog’s new name.

I couldn’t stop myself and I burst out laughing at how funny he sounded. Hayden looked like he hated the name so much but the look of discomfort he showed when he said the puppy’s new name was so hilarious. I covered my mouth with my hand as I tried to stop laughing at him before I start pissing him off, but it was difficult for me to stop giggling.

Surprisingly, Hayden didn’t get mad and with that the question that I had asked him earlier slipped from my mind. After recovering from my slightly embarrassing outburst of laughter, I remembered that I haven’t told Hayden about my exciting tour around his mansion with Auntie.

"This mansion is much bigger than I thought. I went on a tour around the mansion today with Auntie by the way. She’s a really talented tour guide and I really had fun. She took me around everywhere and she also showed me your wing of the mansion," I reported enthusiastically.

"And?" Hayden said, prompting me to go on with my exciting little story.

"I thought that the interior style in your wing is very impressive. Modern but luxurious. Like a modern five-star hotel. I really like it, honestly," I said before smiling up at him.

Hayden’s clear blue eyes watched me intently as I spoke animatedly about the different rooms in his wing that Auntie showed me.

"She showed me where your bedroom was too…but she didn’t open the door so I couldn’t steal a look inside," I muttered in slight disappointment.

She also showed me where Harvey’s wing was. Well, she told me about it after she caught me staring at it in wonder. Auntie didn’t take me in there though and I knew that Hayden had told me too that it was off limits. I looked up into Hayden’s face and found that he was focused on listening to what I was telling him. Should I ask him about Harvey’s wing?

 

Chapter 209: An Invitation to His Bedroom

Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to ask about it, but it just felt like there was something worth knowing about it. Maybe it was just my own curiosity playing tricks with my brain, but I was itching to know more about it. It did occur to me that the more people say that something is off limits, it just makes me want to know more about it. We all get interested in forbidden things, don’t we?

"Auntie also showed me Harvey’s wing. I mean, she showed me where it was…" I said before ending with a mumble.

At the mention of Harvey’s wing, Hayden’s expression became cold and unreadable instantly. The cheerful atmosphere around us turned awkward and strained at the sudden change of Hayden’s mood.

"Don’t worry. She just told me where it was after we exited your wing of the mansion. We didn’t go in or anything like that…" I quickly explained.

"I see…" Hayden said curtly.

I gulped as my eyes shifted nervously around and I started to feel uncomfortable. It was evident that Hayden didn’t want to talk or hear about this topic anymore.

"It’s late. You should shower and go to bed. You have work early tomorrow again, right?" I suggested, trying to change the topic of our conversation.

Hayden turned to face me before he slowly lifted his hand and started stroking my hair. He lifted a strand of my hair between his fingers as his blue eyes held mine. The way he was staring deeply into my eyes made my heart beat faster and my chest tightened up a little.

"Do you want to see it?" Hayden asked in a seductive voice.

"See…what?" I asked softly, not quite following.

Hayden smiled before leaning down until his face was very close to my ear.

"My bedroom…" he whispered right into my ear.

My heart skipped a beat at his suggestive words, and I felt heat rush to my face as I blushed madly. What does he expect me to say to that?

Hayden stood up and looked at my upturned face as he waited for my answer. Is he really going to make me say it? If I tell him that I wanted to see his bedroom, then isn’t that like I’m asking for him to…

"Umm…I…" I whispered softly as I hesitated to speak or meet his intense gaze.

Hayden laughed a little at me and my apparent embarrassment. His hand reached out and took mine into his much larger one.

"Too embarrassed to say it? Let’s go…" Hayden said as his hand tightened a little around mine.

"Hayden…" I called his name a little shyly.

He began leading me out of the room when I realized that Little Hayden was still sleeping on his bed. Can we really just leave him here all alone?

"Wait. What about Little Hayden…?" I asked.

I mean, can we just leave a little puppy to sleep here all alone? He’s new here and is probably not yet used to the place. Suddenly, I felt very worried about him and leaving him alone.

Hayden rolled his eyes at me before sending a menacing stare in the direction of Little Hayden, who was still sleeping peacefully on his little bed.

"I’ll get Auntie to babysit him, ok?" Hayden suggested.

"Ok…" I murmured.

"Good. Now, come with me," Hayden said before tugging on my arm firmly.

Once we were outside the room, Hayden typed in a text on his phone, and I assumed that he was sending a message so that someone would come and keep Little Hayden company. After he was done, Hayden started walking along the empty hallway in the direction leading to his wing of the mansion. I followed after him silently while looking down at where our hands were joined.

I remembered that I felt cheerful and excited when I walked these hallways along with Auntie earlier when she showed me around the mansion. Now that I was walking along the same hallway with Hayden, I felt very different. A mixture of anxiousness, nervousness, and strange waves of excitement filled me.

This was the first time that Hayden had invited me to his bedroom, and I had to try my best not to read too much into it.

Undeniably, I wanted to know more about Hayden and the more he showed me of his private life, the closer I felt like I had gotten to him. The walk to his bedroom was a slightly long one due to the vast size of the mansion and my emotions started taking over me with every step that I took forward.

When we reached the fork in the path, my eyes unconsciously glanced over at the path leading to Harvey’s wing of the mansion.

"This way," Hayden said firmly as he pulled me after him into his wing of the mansion.

The hallway was dimly lit with orange light from the lamp on the walls. Apart from that, the hallway was silent and empty. That made sense since I bet no one else came to this part of the mansion except for Hayden, Auntie, and the maids. I wondered if he felt lonely sometimes living in such a large place all on his own.

It wasn’t long after we entered this section of the mansion that we arrived in front of a large pair of doors. It was much darker than the last time that I was here during the day, but this was undoubtedly the doors to Hayden’s bedroom. I gulped as I stood behind him in front of the doors.

"This is my bedroom," Hayden said passively.

I didn’t know what to say so I just nodded as I started getting even more nervous than before. Hayden pushed the door opened firmly and my body froze in place.

"Come in," Hayden said emotionlessly.

Without waiting for me to response to his invitation, Hayden’s arm circled my waist before he pushed me gently into the room. The large door closed with a loud thud behind me, and I jumped in slight fright. The room was dark, and I couldn’t make out much until Hayden switched on the lights. I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light before it widened at the sight before me.

Where’s the bed?

 

Chapter 210: The Prey and the Chaser

That was the first question that entered my mind as I stood in the middle of a very large room that resembled more of a living room than a bedroom. I wondered how many living rooms a guy needs to have in his life. Unlike the other rooms in the mansion, this room had many touches of Hayden. There were photos of him and his family.

Looking around, I could see photos of him, the boss and his brother, Harvey.

The room was furnished in the modern luxury style of tones of grey and black. It was a very masculine room, but it still looked very comfortable. Hayden paced around leisurely in the room, and I could tell that he felt very relaxed and at home in here. I walked towards a shelf with many photo frames to see more of his photographs.

A specific photo caught my eye and instinctively, I reached a hand out and touched the picture frame. The photo showed two boys sitting together, both looking a little awkward. The blond boy must be…

"Is this boy you?" I asked Hayden.

He looked at me before heading in my direction. Hayden stood next to me as he looked at the photo of the boys on the shelf.

"Yes, that’s me…" he replied flatly.

Hayden looked so cute when he was a boy. His blond hair was a little lighter than it is now, but his eyes were the same beautiful blue. I could see that his skin had always been so fine and even back then, he resembled a little angel. If he was any prettier or if his hair was any longer, he would have looked exactly like a sweet little girl. Hayden really is pretty.

My eyes shifted to focus on the dark-haired boy sitting next to the young Hayden in the photo. If this boy is Hayden, then this must be…

"Is this boy Ethan?" I asked softly.

"Yes…" Hayden replied grimly.

I smiled a little at the cuteness of the boys in the photos. Who would have thought that they would grow up to be so different, and sadly, on opposing sides. Hayden still kept the photo of them so maybe deep down he still felt like he had some connection to Ethan. That was purely just my guess because I didn’t dare to ask him about it.

"Enough looking around. Let’s shower," Hayden said at the same time that his arms circled my waist.

"Wait…" I protested without much effect.

Swiftly, Hayden hurled me up into his arms and carried me off. I called his name softly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. With long strides, Hayden carried me towards a door that led us to the bathroom. He’s not going to make me shower with him, right?

"Let’s shower together. It’s been a long while since we’ve done this," Hayden said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Wait…I…you can shower first. I’ll go after…" I quickly protested.

"Why? Are you feeling shy again?" He asked with a chuckled.

Hayden placed me back on my feet in the ultra-large bathroom. We could play a game of catch in a bathroom of this size. The bathroom had an empty area that I guessed was for dressing up. There was a large bath and a jacuzzi. On the other side there was a large shower area.

No matter how I looked at it, it was like this place was built for a group of people to shower together rather than just one person.

"What are you doing?" I cried out a little too loudly as I jumped away from Hayden’s invading hands.

His hands started pulling on my clothes and I quickly jumped away with my arms folding protectively over my heaving chest. Hayden looked at me with an amused look on his face as he approached me. Instinctively, I took a few steps back away from him as a mischievous spark took over his light blue eyes.

My back hit the cold tiled wall behind me with a small thud and I suddenly felt like a very cornered prey. Hayden eyes looked at me hungrily and I could sense his raw desire. I knew something along these lines was going to happen if I came with him to his bedroom, but I didn’t think that it would happen so fast, and we haven’t even reached his bedroom yet.

"Hayden…" I whispered his name breathlessly.

My voice echoed magnificently in the enclosed space of the bathroom. Hayden took a few steps to completely close the distance between us until he was standing right in front of me. He’s so close and the eyes that looked down at me swirled with lust and desire.

"You like being chased, don’t you? We’re a good match, I don’t mind doing the chasing…" Hayden said, and his hands started ripping away at my clothes.

"Hayden!" I cried out his name in shock.

There was a loud tearing sound as his strong hands tore my shirt to shreds and pulled it completely off my body without bothering with the small buttons that ran down the front of it. His hands were on the button of my pants before he yanked my pants off my hips.

"Turn around…" He commanded in a low whisper as his hands turned me around towards the wall.

His hand eased my pants off me and I felt it sliding down my legs. I didn’t have to do anything at all, he lifted my body up and kicked my pants away from my feet. Standing there in his arms in nothing more than my underwear, I felt very exposed and vulnerable. I could feel the heat of his body against my back as he leaned close to me and pressed me up against the bathroom wall.

My breath quickened and I whimpered his name weakly when Hayden began sucking on the side of my neck. Although I wasn’t panting that loudly, the sound sounded much louder as it echoed in the bathroom. Hayden’s wet tongue traced a line along the length of my neck while his hand started caressing the curves of my body.

I felt the heat of his hand stroking my back seductively before dipping lower to stroke my ass through my panties in circular motions.
