Owned by the Bastard

Chapter 6

Magnus helped Nyx freshen up. He can't believe he is bathing his helper naked. No. Not totally because he is still wearing his...damn..sexy boyleg underwear.

Nyx made a fake cough when he caught Magnus staring at him without blinking.

"Sir, can you just prepare my towel and clothes instead of staring at me. I feel cold already..." Nyx pouted. He can't believe that his perverted employer is so obvious.

"Ah, yes. Sorry...I'll prepare now." Magnus answered and turned his back with his face flushed red.

Nyx grinned to see how embarrassed his employer was. He can tell it from his ear tips even if he doesn't see his face.

After putting on his clothes he doesn't know where they came from as soon as he is comfortable. Nyx eats the congee by himself and he gives a thumbs up to his employer who is just watching him eat.

"Hmmm, sir, so good.." Nyx said.

"Really?" Magnus smiles wide as he gains a super thumb up from his secret bunny boss.

Yes, you are so good." Nyx said.

"Thank you.." Magnus blushed a bit. He is not used to receiving compliments.

It's just two in the afternoon and Nyx keeps yawning but he is not sleepy actually, he is just feeling bored.

Magnus noticed that Nyx is feeling well now after eating congee and medicine.

Nyx wanted to stay in the servant's quarter but Magnus insisted on letting him rest in his bed.

"Nyx, treat this day as your day off okay," Magnus said, assuring he will not feel awkward.

"Oh, thank you sir..but I feel bored doing nothing. Besides, I feel better now." Nyx pouted.

"What do you want to do then.."

"Sir, we are almost out of supply in the kitchen, can we buy from the supermarket?" Nyx remembers that he was lacking some ingredients when preparing dinner last night.

"That's a good idea but do you think you can manage to walk and stand for an hour?"

"Yes sir, it is better if my body is moving than doing nothing," he complained.

"Alright, then. Let's go." He said as he approved his request.

Nyx excitedly gets off the bed and quickly runs to his room to get his sling bag.

Magnus suddenly remembers to get Nyx's mobile number just in case they need to be separated while marketing.

"Nyx, may I know your mobile number?" Magnus asked.

"I'm sorry sir. I don't have a mobile.." he shyly answered.

"Ha? How do you survive without a mobile?"

"It's not necessary at all, I don't have someone to talk to anyway. I sold it long ago."

"I see." Magnus didn't say anything at all.

Inside the supermarket. As they stroll in the vegetable area, Magnus speaks and asks Nyx.

"Nyx, what breakfast do you want to have tomorrow?" Magnus asked while checking the items.

"I want one big mushroom with two eggs."

"Ha?"

"Yes sir, I want sliced king oyster mushroom, fried with two scrambled eggs, and add some truffles on it. Ahh, so good." He said as if he could smell and taste them.

Magnus just stares at his helper who is imagining how good the breakfast would be.

"Then I'll eat yours too."

"What? Say it again sir." Nyx's eyes widened as he asked.

"I mean, I will eat the same serving and portion as yours." Magnus rephrased.

"Oh...got it, sir, so let's select a perfect mushroom then," Nyx said.

"Do you know how?" Magnus is not convinced.

"Of course sir, just by the touch and holding it good and proper, you can feel if the king oyster mushroom is of good quality," Nyx explained.

As they reach the organic mushroom section, Nyx makes a demo and explains it to Magnus like an expert.

"Choose mushrooms that are neither too moist nor too dry. The cap should be as intact as possible. The younger the oyster mushroom, the more tender it will be, and the less it will shrivel up when cooked. Oyster mushrooms should be firm, not slimy and plump, with no wrinkles." Nyx smiles after explaining while holding a piece of large size King Oyster mushroom.

Magnus can't help but gulp his saliva. The way Nyx holds the mushroom, the way he touches the cap with his thumb, and the way his hand presses and clenches the whole mushroom as he inspected it bring Magnus to another dimension.

"Here, hold it, sir, you can try." Nyx takes Magnus's hand and lets him open his palm and place it gently. Magnus is blushing as he notices some people are watching them. They were entertained by how Nyx explained to his boss how to select a good quality mushroom.

Magnus's hand trembles and feels the cold mushroom. Because he is so tense and nervous for some crazy reason in his mind, he held the mushroom tight and it was damaged and broken.

"Sir, not like that!" Nyx was shocked as if something had crashed...in his thoughts.

Nyx takes the broken mushroom and puts it in their basket, he has no choice but to buy it too.

Magnus just watches him select and place a few pieces in their basket.

Nyx speaks as they walk.

"Sir, our garden is spacious, we can grow mushrooms there."

"No need. Even inside the room, you can easily grow a mushroom anytime."

"What time sir?" Nyx asked.

"What do you mean what time?" Magnus gets confused.

"I mean how long it grows."

"It doesn't take long. I mean, just two to three weeks and it will grow.

"How many inches sir," Nyx asked again.

Magnus is losing his sanity from the questions he can't understand why he is giving a different meaning to it.

Nyx...please...oh god.

"In three weeks, how long it will be, how many inches it will grow," Nyx repeats it and Magnus just heaves a sigh.

"Maybe five to six inches, I'm not sure. It depends." Magnus said.

"Then I want to grow a mushroom in your room."

"Which room?"

"One of the rooms in your house sir."

"Errr, today?"

"Yes, sir."

"I want to grow a mushroom by my own hands," Nyx said excitedly.

"Let's buy some substrate and materials needed."

"Sir, maybe next time," Nyx said when they reached the Dairy Section.

"What else do you want to prepare? Is there anything you desire to eat or drink?"

"I want to eat milk pudding too."

"Do you know how to make it?"

"Yes sir. Do you want to learn sir?"

"Yes, please teach me too."

"It's easy sir, and you will love preparing it." Nyx excitedly said and picked a box of full cream milk.

He saw unsweetened plain gelatin and white sugar in the kitchen so he didn't buy it at all.

Finally, the two finished the marketing and went home. Magnus carries some heavy things while Nyx is just holding a bag of king oyster mushrooms and a box of milk. He is excited to make a milk pudding for their dessert after dinner.

"Sir, what do you want to have for dinner?" Nyx glances at Magnus who is unpacking the groceries and placing them one by one in the fridge and some in the cupboard.

Nyx is busy preparing the utensils and ingredients they need for making the milk pudding.

When Magnus finished arranging the things, he washed his hands and stood next to Nyx, and listened carefully to his instruction on how to make a milk pudding.

"I don't like gelatin, can we make it without it?" Magnus asked.

"Sure sir, let's start then."

Magnus quickly learns the process and he is quite nervous about the outcome later.

They prepare the dinner too and cook together like a newly married couple. Nyx is cutting the spring onion when he accidentally hits his finger with the knife.

"Ouch!" Nyx quivers in pain.

"Hey, Nyx. Be careful." Magnus quickly grabs his hand and stares at the finger that fortunately, slices on the skin and not the meat so it didn't bleed.

"Nyx, don't rush okay, we are not going anywhere." Magnus rubs Nyx's index finger.

Nyx pouted and just nod.

When the food is ready, they arrange the dining table perfectly like they are going to have a candlelight dinner.

After setting the table, Nyx suddenly realized why they are setting the table for two.

Nyx halted while staring at the table. Magnus noticed him and smiled.

"Nyx, from now on, we will eat together at this dining table, we will...yeah, that's right. Let's eat together, is that okay?" Magnus asked while staring at Nyx.

Nyx suddenly remembers his happy family eating together at one dining table. Now that he is an orphan, he is still thankful. He has an employer who is kind-hearted and treats him as a family.

"Nyx, there's one thing I want to ask.." Magnus walks closer to Nyx and holds his shoulders.

"What is it, sir?" Nyx's body froze waiting for his employer to speak again.

"Can you stop calling me sir?"

"Huh?" Nyx stares at Magnus in curiosity.

"Just call me Magnus or any pet name you want to call me," Magnus said with brows furrowed.

"Why?" Nyx asked in an almost whisper voice. His heartbeat suddenly becomes fast and loud.

"Because I wanted to.." Magnus answered in a whisper too.

Their faces are inches apart, their breath is fanning on their faces. Magnus gulped as he leaned closer. Before he touches his lips to Nyx's, a sound of an overflowed boiling water

drip to the burner stove and create smoke.

The two were shocked. Nyx quickly removes the cover of the soup.

"Whew!"

"I'm sorry, I forgot to lower the fire."

The two smile at each other while blushing.

Finally, the food is ready and the two start to dig in. Nyx is too quiet and thinking of something.

"Sir..." Nyx said.

"Nyx, I told you already..." Magnus wanted to protest.

"No. I want to call you Sir. From now on, that is your pet name for me. Is that ok Sir?"

"What the hell, Nyx? You are such an i***t bunny..." Magnus murmured as to why so many pet names, why is it, Sir?

"I can hear you, Sir. What did you call me?" Nyx places his chopsticks on its holder and looks at Magnus while showing his bunny teeth.

"I said, bunny, you are my cute bunny." Nyx blushed hearing the word cute and lowered his head.

Magnus lifts Nyx's chin by his index finger and asks.

"Why is the cute bunny afraid of a dog?"

"I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid..." Nyx explained.

"Where? May I see?" Magnus asks innocently but Nyx feels embarrassed.

"Huh!? No way!" Nyx pouted as he couldn't tell where exactly the dog bit him.

Magnus chuckles as if he had the idea where he was bitten by the dog.

"Sir?! I will not eat anymore.." Nyx sulks when Magnus starts to tease him looking at his bottom.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry...I won't tease you at all." Magnus holds his laugh. Silence means yes, he knew it. Nyx was bitten in his bum maybe.

After eating dinner, the two clean up the kitchen and dining table. Nyx was about to enter his room to rest but Magnus called him.

"Nyx..from now on, you will sleep in my room and that's an order.

"What?!" Nyx's eyes widened.

"Yes, you already sleep there, so no big difference. Why? Are you afraid of me? What if you dream of the dog again?" Magnus scares him.

Nyx just nods hearing the dog.

"Serve the milk pudding to the living room for us, I will wait for you there, thanks." Magnus suddenly ordered with a serious face.

Nyx gets confused as his employer quickly changes his mood.

Nyx places two cups of milk pudding on a separate plate and smiles.

It looks perfect and delicious. As he carries the tray, the milk pudding keeps wiggling and Nyx is distracted, almost tripping his foot.

He slowly walks to the living room and places the tray on the center table. Nyx picks the plate and is about to give it to Magnus but his hand trembles, it shakes, and has a hard time balancing the milk pudding.

Before it reaches Magnus's hand, Nyx's hands shake and the milk pudding drops to Magnus's black shorts.

It spilled in between Magnus's closed legs trying not to spill it on the couch.

"Nyx...quick!"

"I'm sorry Sir, please let me clean it." Nyx places back the plate and quickly pulls a ply of tissue and subconsciously wipes and picks by his hand the milk pudding in Magnus's trousers.

"Aaahh! Nyx! What are you doing?" Magnus was shocked when Nyx grabbed not only the milk pudding by his hand but also his sleeping mushroom. Because of the touch, the mushroom grows silently under the garment.

Nyx halted when he felt the soft milk pudding, but his focus wasn't there. His face turns red when he feels Magnus's mushroom grow as he cleans it.

"Stop, stop!" Magnus said and slowly stood lifting the part of his trouser with spilled milk pudding, leaving him as he walked upstairs.

Nyx laughed so hard watching his employer in such an awkward scenario.

Nyx waited patiently for Magnus to go down and start to scoop the milk pudding slowly. While watching TV, Nyx is busy licking the spoon as he likes the sweet taste stick on it.

He didn't notice that Magnus was already standing beside him and made a fake cough.

"Can I take my share?" Magnus said in a deep voice.

Nyx moves and taps the couch asking Magnus to sit beside him. Magnus obeyed and without notice, Nyx shoves a spoon of milk pudding in his mouth. Because it was unexpected, Magnus spilled some on his jaw, and the white droplet stick on the skin.

For some unknown reason, Nyx suddenly leans closer and licks Magnus's jaw, and cleans the spilled milk pudding by his mouth. Nyx himself was shocked by his action.

Magnus, who was restraining himself for an hour, did not hold back at all. He grabs the plate from Nyx's hand and places it back on the tray.

As soon as he sits beside Nyx, he quickly grabs his waist and holds the back of his head, and ravishes Nyx's lips.
