Carlos left the bathroom already dressed. Alberto was sitting on the sofa where they had done everything, typing something on his phone. When he noticed Carlos leaving, he put his phone on the sofa, took his drink from the table, and walked up to Carlos. "Will you come with me?" Alberto asked. Carlos shook his head, still feeling embarrassed about everything that had happened.
"Thank you, but it's already late. I think it's better for me to go back to my room and get some sleep," Carlos replied. Alberto raised an eyebrow, approaching Carlos. "Aren't you going to sleep here?" Carlos looked away before answering, "It's better not to. I move a lot in bed, and I might accidentally bump into your wound."
Alberto smiled, knowing it was an excuse to not sleep there. He didn't insist because he figured Carlos might be shy or embarrassed about what happened. "Alright, goodnight," Alberto said, pulling Carlos's chin to make him look at him and giving him a tender kiss. Carlos smiled at him and left the room.
Carlos entered his room and threw himself onto the bed, burying his face in the pillow. He couldn't believe he had done that with Alberto. Since when did he give himself to someone so quickly? It took weeks after he started dating Lucas for them to have their first intimate encounter, and now it hadn't even been a week since he had met Alberto, and this had already happened.
He straightened up on the bed and continued thinking about what had happened, putting his hand to his lips as he remembered the kisses and touches on his body. Every time he recalled the sensation, he felt butterflies in his stomach.
"Damn it, focus Carlos, don't act like a love-struck teenager," he muttered to himself. He needed to regain control of his life as quickly as possible.
Alberto looked at the door that had just closed, taking a deep breath and running his hand through his hair. He walked back to the sofa where he had shared those moments with Carlos. His lips lifted into a smile as he looked at it, just thinking about the expressions Carlos made when stimulated by his touch made him hard again. He remembered Carlos's scent and even managed to climax just from watching him experience pleasure.
Shaking his head, he realized this had never happened before. He felt so much pleasure from giving pleasure to Carlos that he climaxed without even needing stimulation. Hearing his moans and feeling him was stimulation enough. He never felt like this even when he first met Pablo. It was something new for him.
He walked towards the window, looking at the dark horizon. "I can't let you drift away from me anymore. I need you, Carlos," he spoke, sighing.
He had to find a way to end Andrey to keep Carlos safe, so he could enjoy the company of that man to the fullest.
The day was already bright when Carlos woke up, taking a while to fall back asleep lost in his thoughts. He went downstairs to have breakfast, wondering how he would react when he saw Alberto. Bruno was in the kitchen talking to some maids, and everyone stopped talking when they saw Carlos.
"Good morning, sir. Would you like to have breakfast now?" one of the women took the initiative to greet him.
"Good morning, yes, I'll have it now. Did Alberto already wake up?" Carlos asked, but this time it was Bruno who answered.
"Yes, he left early with Paulo. He had some things to take care of, but he left something for you," Bruno said, leaving the kitchen to retrieve something.
The younger woman seemed a little flushed and asked, "Do you want me to show you where the dining room is?"
Carlos didn't want to have breakfast alone. "Do you mind if I have breakfast here?"
The two women were surprised that he wanted to have breakfast there. "No, feel free. Wherever you want, sir."
Carlos sat down, and the two women went to fetch the things that were in the other room. While waiting, Bruno came back with some bags for him.
"Here, these are the clothes Alberto arranged for you, since you didn't have time to get anything yesterday," Bruno said. Carlos took a quick look inside the bags; there were t-shirts, shirts, pants, underwear, and some other things. Carlos rolled his eyes at Alberto's extravagance.
The women set the table, and Carlos thanked them before looking back at Bruno. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
Bruno raised an eyebrow in response, "Yes, I had coffee with Alberto earlier."
Carlos nodded, motioning with his head, "Well, sit down and keep me company. We can talk while I have my coffee," Carlos said with a smile, making Bruno feel a bit awkward.
Bruno sat down and poured himself a cup of coffee, joining Carlos. "Do you think I can go back home?" he asked.
Bruno scratched his head before answering, "Honestly, I don't think it's convenient to go back now. Andrey might still be watching, waiting for you to return there."
Carlos pondered for a moment and continued, "So, Alberto intends to keep me here?"
"Here would be the best option. We have a security system, not to mention that the entire property is guarded. You would be safer here," Bruno explained.
Carlos took a deep breath, considering what was said. He realized he would be safer there, but he would also have to see Alberto every day. This thought made him nervous, so he tried to change the subject.
"But I need to go home. All my things are there—my phone, documents, clothes," Carlos insisted.
"Alberto assumed you would want to go to your house, so we have men guarding the place. I'll check if everything's alright there and let you know. Alberto asked me to accompany you if you wanted to go there and he wasn't here," Bruno responded.
Finishing his coffee, Carlos contemplated how he would handle going to the hospital. If he arrived with security guards, it would raise suspicions, but he couldn't go alone either.
Carlos thanked Bruno for the coffee and got up, grabbing his bags. The two women had smirks on their faces as they watched Carlos walk away. Bruno noticed this, shook his head, and smiled. Carlos was indeed very attractive and caught the attention of both women and men. Bruno followed him, and Carlos stopped at the stairs.
"I'll take a shower and then come down. If everything's fine at my house, we can go there," Carlos said.
Bruno nodded and made a call on his phone. Carlos went to his room and laid out the items Alberto had left for him on the bed. Everything was of good taste and the right size. He would have to thank Alberto for all of it, but he didn't feel comfortable having someone provide him with all these things. He wasn't used to someone taking care of him in that way; he had always had to work hard to get what he wanted.
Carlos lost his parents at a young age and was an only child, so he ended up alone. He had to force himself to grow up and be independent, which led to his need for control. He thought that by being in control, nothing would go wrong in his life. But on the other hand, this wasn't always beneficial. Carlos missed out on many things because he didn't deviate from his plans. Today, as he reflected, he realized that he might have been happier if he had let things happen without so much planning.
While thinking about all these things, Carlos finished his shower and changed into a more casual outfit provided by Alberto. He wasn't going to work today since the director had given him the day off to rest, but he needed to think about what he would do tomorrow and in the coming days. He looked at himself in the mirror—the bruise on his face was almost gone thanks to the compresses he had applied, and the bandage on his arm was slightly visible under his sleeve, but it wasn't a problem.
Carlos went downstairs, and Bruno was waiting for him. "No sign of anyone watching or trying to enter the house. We can go," Bruno informed him.
Carlos smiled and they headed towards the car. Bruno opened the back door for Carlos, but it all felt too much for him. Carlos looked at Bruno seriously and said, "I'm not the owner of this house, and you're not my chauffeur. You don't have to treat me with so much gentleness; it makes me uncomfortable. I'll sit in the front."
Closing the door, Carlos left Bruno speechless. "Do you want to drive, or should I?" Carlos asked, making Bruno snap out of it.
"I'll drive, just as a precaution," Bruno replied, moving to the other side of the car. Carlos sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt. Bruno started the car, and they left the property.
"Sir, the doctor's car has left the property. Yes, we will inform you of his destination," a car parked nearby followed Carlos' car.
