CHAPTER THREE
The warden stared at Ace in exasperation as he was brought in. He knew what the man wanted. It seemed it was all he wanted there days. The idiot had really begun to irritate him these past few months with the same request and he didn't have time or patience to indulge him. At times like this he regretted letting the bastard supply him.
The enormous man stood before him, his face a mask of controlled anger and nervous impatience. Funny how it elated Warden Cutler that this huge, frightening man was a fly to him. He loved the power he held in this place; he lived for it. This place, his work, was the best thing that ever happened to him. Thinking about it always made his day. It never got old.
Ace did not dare sit in any of the plush chairs that lined the large office; all the drugs in the world wouldn't allow him that favour, not in Warden Cutler's world. He just stood there, legs wobbling in his need to move.
"What do you want Ace?" The swivel chair creaked a little, literally crying out under his three hundred pound weight, as the warden relaxed back into it.
"Warden," he rasped, "its been ages since you said you were going to let me have a go at Jamie. I've waited β"
"I told you that because I was working on it. I still am. You need to have some patience. It's not like you're going anywhere."
"But if you just let me do this my way, I would simply corner him and do my thing. You wouldn't need to be involved at all, no connection. Wouldn't that be better?"
They had gone over this about a million times. "Keep in mind that leaving him alone until I say so is in your best interest. I said..." the warden spoke slowly with emphasis, "...I will deal with it. I have my own plans for him as you well know and that actually has nothing to do with you. So you will leave him the hell alone until I am done with him. Is that understood?"
Ace growled, his tight fists showing how hard he was trying to control his anger. He was not used to discussing things; he simply took what he wanted. It angered him that he had to do what Warden Cutler said, but he knew the warden was dangerous. God knows the bastard should have been an inmate along with him, not the head of the prison for all the things he had seen him do. "But you know it'll be much easier my way, Warden."
The warden slammed his fist hard on his desk, smirking to himself as the huge man jumped visibly. "This is not a negotiation Grimes. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what I am capable of. Don't you dare think for a minute that you are special because I let your filthy ass enter my presence."
"Warden, I give you the best stuff because you agreed to let me do what Iβ"
"Hey, just stop right there! I don't care what you supply me. You will not dictate what I do or don't do. I'm god here. Understand? You're not going to get anything out of me by pulling that. Just be glad I decided to include you," the warden warned angrily. "I am almost done with my plans, final confirmation comes today and then we'll be ready to go. You come in here and waste my time again and you'll have no part in it. Remember that."
Ace looked suspicious; the warden wasn't really trustworthy. He knew this well from experience. But then again, that had not involved hurting someone. This might be different. If not he would be taking matters in his own hands. He had just about had enough of waiting, warden or not.
"And I'll get Jamie?"
Warden Cutler stared at him for a while. He nodded. "All to yourself."
* * * *
Jamie dreaded the general areas all the time: he gymnasium, the dining area, the field, the exercise yard, basically anywhere that Rhys would be as well. He continued to avoid Rhys, preferring not to speak to him at all over the next couple of weeks. He could not bring himself to deal with the whole situation so he just pushed it as far from his mind as he could. He could deal with this ache for now and he would for as long as he was able, maybe until he got out of here. He couldn't deal with the reality of that ache. It was too much.
As the days went into weeks and kept going, Rhys slowly got sick of his behaviour and decided to confront Jamie in the laundry room where he knew he worked most of the time. He was there all right, working on his own in the large warm room. He was standing by the large rumbling washing machines and dryers, taking out dry towels from one of them and folding them painstakingly to put away for use through the next week.
Rhys could not help looking him over in admiration and recalling every inch of that beautiful, tiny body. He wanted to grab him and hold him forever. Jamie turned and jumped in surprise when he saw Rhys standing there and staring at him as if in a trance. He hadn't heard him enter since the machines were booming around him. Jamie went red as he saw who it was and the longing in his green eyes. It frightened the hell out of him, especially as his heart seemed to flutter.
"We need to talk, Tiny. About us..."
It felt like forever since he had heard that voice. God, it seemed to send fire roaring through his veins. However, he very rudely told Rhys he most certainly didn't want to talk to him. Not to be deterred this time, Rhys followed him as he walked round picking up and putting away towels and bedding and checking the washing machines.
"Why can't we just talk... nothing has to happen. We can just be friends Jamie."
"But we are friends... aren't we?" A washing machine door was shut. Well, slammed.
"Careful..."Rhys muttered, continuing, "You know we aren't, Tiny. You leave a room every time I come in. You don't even bother to say hello to me. You keep pushing me away."
"I'm not pushing you away Rhys, it's just... I'm not gay." Rhys winced at this. Jamie didn't notice for his back was to him. "It's hard to deal with... this is not my life! I am not gay."
"Are you telling me that or are you telling yourself? Are you trying to convince yourself by any chance? Hoping against hope maybe?"
"I am not gay Rhys!"
"The question is not whether you are gay... It is whether you want me orβ"
"I am not gay."
"So you wish that night had never happened?"
"Yes I do!" Jamie groaned. "I wish I never got that stupid PR job. I wish I had taken the second job offer I had. I wish I had never set foot in this shit hole. I wish so many things that I've lost count!"
"Come on, you're not done yet... finish it."
"What do you mean?"
"You wish you had never met me."
"I didn't say that."
"You as good as said it out loud Tiny. You probably wish it had been Ace instead."
"I didn't say that Rhys. How can you say that to me?" Jamie bristled, "Ace, of all people. Are you kidding me right now?"
"With Ace you wouldn't be worried about him being all over you all the time and making a fool of himself as I'm doing right now. Checking up on you, thinking about you..."
The small man winced at those words. He didn't think Rhys was making a fool of himself at all. But he dared not tell him that deep inside he thought pouring his heart out like this was sweet. Rhys already had too much power over him. He couldn't give him more.
"You wouldn't be attracted to him the way you are to me. You wouldn't be worried about what happened between us that night. You wouldn't be wondering if it was more than sex."
"You said it was just sex Rhys. That's what you told me that night! You kept saying that!"
"You think I don't know that? You think I haven't asked myself that a million times?" Rhys was feeling so overwhelmed. Jamie was blaming him for not keeping his word that it was just sex, something to be forgotten. He blamed himself. He had thought it would be forgettable. He was so damned wrong.
"I'm afraid I can't say that anymore. Not if I'm facing reality. That night was nothing I ever imagined possible. Not in my entire life. I'm still reeling from it Jamie. I need to know. So was it?"
"Was it what?" Jamie was in a bit of a daze with all the emotions bubbling around them.
"Was it just sex for you?"
"I'm not gay Rhys," he said again, his voice without any conviction.
