    magnetized air with him. Jabez dropped the towel, slipped into his pants, and scooped
    up the rest of his clothes, but before he left the room, he turned to Andreas once more.
    “By the way, the answer is „men.‟”

    “What?”
    “The other night you asked which I prefer.”
    “Oh.” He swallowed, and his mind raced as he tried to decide if it was an
    invitation or merely a comment. Deciphering this man was like picking his way
    through a minefield. “Good to know.”
    The door closed behind Jabez, and Andreas blew out a long breath. He was as hot
    as if he‟d been soaking in the spa again. He tossed aside his towel and dived back into
    the pool.

    Chapter Four

    Jabez closed his eyes but couldn‟t sleep. The bed was soft, and the expensive
    sheets were like air against his skin, but the drugs had worn off and with them his
    weariness. He‟d always bounced back quickly from injuries, and with the private
    doctor‟s miracle treatment, he almost felt 100 percent better.
    He wasn‟t tired and didn‟t want to be lying in this bed alone, not when he knew
    Andreas was in another part of the house lusting after him too. He had no doubt his
    new “master” was hot for him. It was clear in his hungry gaze and the way his body
    tensed every time he looked at Jabez. Sex between them would happen eventually. Why
    not sooner?
    Cursing, he opened his eyes and stared at the block of sunlight coming in the
    window. What the hell was wrong with him? He‟d wanted to be left alone, made it
    clear he didn‟t want to be a sex toy, practically taunted Andreas about his reasons for
    bringing him here. Now sex with Andreas was the one thing he craved.
    Jabez launched his body from the bed, his ribs aching at the sudden movement.
    He crossed the room to look out the window at the patch of garden below. He needed
    to be out there walking along the paths, burning off some of his pent-up energy.
    Andreas strolled into view. The man‟s glossy black curls shone in the sun. The
    curve of his neck, the way his shirt hung loose over his lean torso, his sexy walk, all
    riveted Jabez‟s attention. He wanted to touch him, to comb his fingers through the silky
    hair and stroke his hands over that tight body.
    When Andreas had emerged from the pool, sleek and wet, Jabez‟s cock had risen
    beneath the towel around his middle. But instead of getting out of there fast, he‟d come
    on strong, making that stupid comment about his eyes and practically offering himself
    to the man. Was that really what he wanted, the instant pleasure of hot sex? Maybe
    there was a better way to use the attraction between them to his advantage, make

    Andreas crave him so much he‟d give him money and gifts—legal swag, not stolen for
    once, a stake to use in the future when he was back on his own once more.
    On the other hand, Andreas might tire of his new hobby soon and sell Jabez back
    to the fight club, so maybe it would be better to steal everything he could lay his hands
    on and get out of here fast.
    As he pondered his options, Andreas disappeared from his view around a clump
    of bushes. Jabez considered going down to the garden to find him but decided it was
    better to keep some distance between them until he decided how to play this situation.
    He turned from the window.
    Sitting in a chair, he flipped on the mass-media-viewer set into one wall and
    scanned through the music, vids, and library of books he didn‟t know how to read. He
    finally settled on a show about dog breeding. He snorted at the crazy amounts of
    money rich people put into their pets, but watched the vid until the very end.
    When it was over, he went to take a shower in a bathroom so white and clean, he
    felt dirtier than ever just from walking into it. The mineral bath had soothed his aching
    muscles like the doctor promised, but left scum on his skin. The shower jets‟ stinging
    spray washed away the mineral salts while the heat
