“Are you already dreaming about it?” Jake asked, smiling teasingly.

Noah gripped his collars and with one swift movement, he turned Jake below him as he went on top. He pinned Jake with force and said, “Don’t let your imagination go wild, Your highness and keep your royal ass away from me.”

Jake chuckled and with a force, he moved to resume their previous position when Noah was under him. He pressed him tightly and spoke, “But I don’t mind having your not-so-royal ass.”

Noah gritted his teeth and with a force, he turned to get Jake under him. It was like they were trying to prove who had more strength.

“Thought it’s impossible but if you think it can be then that would be like this- You under me,” Noah said, proving that he was the top.

Jake again moved him under him as the game continued, “I don’t mind. We can take turns.”

Frowning, Noah moved to get him under but there was a light slope and they both slid down while rolling.

Thud!

“Ugh!!”

Jake groaned in pain as he was the one colliding with something while Noah was being protected with his body.

It scared Noah. “Jake, are you alright?” There was a big wood log behind Jake on which his back collided.

“Hmm, I am fine,” Jake said, trying to bear the pain.

“Let me check,” Noah tried to check his back.

“I am fine. First, let’s go back. It will be completely dark in a while,” Jake said and stood up.

Noah agreed and they returned to the villa. Entering the drawing room they saw everyone sitting on the sofa as they heard the voices of talking and laughing.

When the others saw these two, they could not help but be shocked.

“What were you two doing?” Jiang Yang asked, “Were you wrestling in the mud?”

The two had their clothes and faces stained with the damp soil from the woods and even had dried leaves and grass stuck in their hair and on their clothes.

Before Jake and Noah could answer, An Tian spoke, “We have enough room in the home.” His meaning was something else to which others smiled while Jake and Noah remained speechless.

“Brother, we just fell down the slope,” Jake answered.

“To me, it looks like you two happily rolled in the mud,” An Tian countered.

Jake frowned and while Noah said, “I’ll go get clean. Where to go brother Tian.”

“Jake will show you. You can use his room,” An Tian answered and Jake nodded. The two left as they went to Jake’s room.

Noah stood in front of the mirror and saw how he looked, “Damn, I look like a homeless person.”

“I don’t mind,” Jake commented and started unbuttoning his dirty shirt.

“I didn’t ask for your opinion,” Noah said and looked at Jake who had removed his shirt and was ready to go to the washroom.

“Wait,” Noah said.

Jake looked at him to know what.

“There is a wound on your back,” Noah went to him and saw quite a big cut and it was bleeding.

“Must be a small cut. It will be fine. I will take a shower.”

“No. You need to treat it and cover it to not let water touch it. You are bleeding you damn it. Where is the first aid?”

Not like Jake was concerned about that wound but he felt good to see Noah worried for him. “It’s there,” he pointed towards the drawer chest.

Noah brought the first aid box and pulled the chair from the study table, “Sit here.”

Jake sat on the chair facing its low-height backrest and folding his arms over the top of the backrest. Noah kneeled behind him and started treating the wound.

Jake was smiling lightly and called him, “Noah!”

“Hmm?” Noah replied, being focussed on treating the wound.

“Don’t you really feel anything for me?” Jake asked.

Noah paused for a moment as his hand froze which was treating his wound. Jake waited for his answer.

“Of course, I feel,” Noah answered.

Before Jake could even feel happy, he heard Noah again, “I always feel like punching and kicking you.”

Jake smiled at himself as he was wrong to expect to get the right answer from this stubborn guy. “It’s fine as long as you feel something.”

Noah didn’t reply to it and wrapped his wound, “I covered it with a waterproof bandage. You can have a shower with this on but wait for a while as I have just covered it.” He stood up, “Till then I will get a bath.”

Jake nodded as he saw Noah leaving, keeping the first aid box back in the drawer and went into the bathroom to get a shower after he grabbed the towel that Jake had got for himself.

Jake looked at the closed door quietly as he felt his heart was going out of his control. He exhaled and tried to calm his thoughts that were on the verge of going wild upon hearing the sound of water from the shower. Noah must be standing under the shower.

‘Why did I bring him to my room?’ He found it hard to deal with it and then stood up to not think anymore.

Noah was under the shower when he heard the door of the bathroom opening with the click sound of the handle of the door is rotated. Noah paused in shock and looked at the door only to see Jake entering the bathroom.

They never had to put on the lock as it was not the first time they were sharing the room but it was the first time when someone entered the bathroom when another one was showering.

“Jake don’t you know I am having a shower,” Noah felt enraged as he stood facing his back towards Jake inside that glass walled cubical as he was clearly without any of the pieces of clothing.

It didn’t bother Jake and simply removed his pants and underwear as he threw them on the laundry basket and walked toward Noah.
