and the lights finally went on, illuminating a minimalistic interior, with pale tiles underneath their feet and a large built-in closet on the right.
    Jason’s lips parted, and then spread into a small smile. The dog looked so similar to Ratso, his old pit bull. The poor thing would probably be still alive if it wasn’t for Jason’s father. Instead, Ratso was commemorated as a stylized tattoo on Jason’s chest, along with the motto Jason learned to be true in life. Fight or die .
    Hyde walked up to him, with the dog leaning toward Jason. Its big eyes were wide with curiosity as it loudly sniffed the newcomer. “Heidi likes you.”
    Jason gasped, and took a step back. He could bet this was a trick to see his vulnerable side. His hands itched to pet the cute muzzle, but the last thing he needed was a reminder of Ratso. Heidi even had the blue eyes his dog had had.
    “I… I don’t like dogs,” Jason muttered awkwardly.
    Hyde scowled at him and kissed the top of Heidi’s head before gently placing her on the floor. “Good girl. Bed.”
    It took some convincing, but the dog eventually disappeared in one of the open rooms.
    “At least you don’t eat them,” concluded Hyde, leading him through the pristinely clean house.
    “Or do I?” Jason dared a joke, but wasn’t sure if it came out funny or creepy. He didn’t like the disapproving look he got from Hyde before, so he hoped to make up for the bad impression. He shouldn’t care, but he still did. He loved how intensely Hyde’s gaze had penetrated him when Jason blew him. In that moment in time, Hyde had been focused on him and him only.
    “You don’t. She’d maul you first.”
    At the very end of the corridor, Hyde walked through a door, entering an average-sized room with somewhat aged furniture and pictures of birds on the walls. “That’s where you’re gonna sleep,” he said, closing the door behind them. “The bathroom is right there.” He nodded toward a doorless entryway.
    Jason suddenly felt tenser than when he was awaiting a dart to his ass. Hyde seemed so relaxed, yet his presence took up the whole room and swallowed Jason as well. “It’s… nice.”
    “Thanks. Most of what you see here came from my old home,” Hyde said absentmindedly before nodding at Jason. “Now take off that shirt. You’re not showing my son that picture tomorrow.”
    Jason had almost forgotten about the crotch drawn on his back. Almost. “You wanna throw a few more before it’s gone?” he grumbled as he took off his T-shirt. To think that this disastrous night began with him not wanting to get humiliated in front of Hyde. Tough luck.
    “I had to give them something. Would you rather they cut you with that carving knife?” asked Hyde, switching on the light in the bathroom. “That was quite impressive, by the way. Not a single groan,” he said, looking up at Jason, with a small smile curving his mouth.
    Pride swelled up in Jason’s chest at the thought that he managed to excite Hyde. “Maybe my nerve endings got fucked after the shock.” He went into the bathroom, more out of his depth than he ever was in the ring.
    “You’re fucking modest. I’m not sure if I like it or not,” said Hyde, following him to a white-and-blue bathroom with a small bathtub in the corner.
    “And you’re full of yourself, so there’s balance in the room.” Jason clenched his fists. He was standing in front of the hottest guy on the planet with a pussy drawn on his back. This was not an ideal scenario.
    Hyde grinned and gave the tub a friendly kick. “Go on, hop in. I’ll get that porn off you.”
    Jason hesitated for the longest moment, but took off the sweatpants. He couldn’t wait to get his aching feet into warm water. Besides, Hyde had seen him naked already. “Why are you so friendly all of a sudden?” Jason sat in the tub, with his back to Hyde.
    Hyde snorted and switched on the water. Jason tensed when cool droplets sprayed his skin, but moments later, Hyde
