The Contract
Ethan Marshall Winthrop III climbed out of the pool. "You lose again Van Saint. You should just give up and stay in your lane -- as a fucking loser."
Parker Van Saint replied "Fuck you, asshole. You were just lucky."
Ethan just laughed, reached down and grabbed his cock and balls through his speedos, "You haven't got what it takes to fuck me. But if you ever want to know what a real man feels like, just let me know." He turned and strutted back to the locker room.
Parker Van Saint slammed his hand down on the surface of the pool, splashing water with a loud slap. "Goddamn it" he screamed. Once again he had been bested by Ethan – the story of his life. He and Ethan had known each other after meeting in first grade at their very expensive and exclusive private school. And, in all their endeavors, Parker always ended up second best, no matter how hard he tried. To say that the two men disliked each other would be an understatement. Parker hated Ethan and took every opportunity he could to try and embarrass and humiliate him.
Ethan for his part, thought that Parker was an asshole and returned his dislike. Because both were from families in the upper crust of society, they were always having to be seen at the same events and affairs. But no matter how hard he tried, Parker could never seem to best Ethan at any athletic event or even with developing friends and getting girls. Ethan somehow always managed to come out on top.
Parker heaved himself out of the pool. He was wearing a navy speedo which did accent his cock and balls as the speedos were a little too small. That was the one area where the two men were about equal, at least when soft. Unknown to Parker, Ethan's soft 6-inch cock only grew to about 7inches when stimulated. Parker's, on the other hand, grew to 8 inches long and very thick around hanging over his pendulous balls. It was the one area where Parker could win, but they had not seen each other naked and hard or heard anything to the difference. He headed toward the locker room.
As Ethan was changing he looked in the full-length mirror and smiled at what he saw. What he saw was a man with a classically handsome face, dark black hair and a chiseled body. He made many people swoon. He stood 6'1" and weighed 230 pounds, all muscles and cut. He had dark hair on his chest which dwindled to a treasure tail and down into his crotch. He had a 6" cock when soft and 7" long when hard. He had a pair of low hanging balls.
"Looking good stud", he replied as he dressed and exited the locker room. As he passed Van Saint in the hallway he threw his hand out and slapped him in the nuts. "Later loser".
"Fuck off," Parker yelled as he cupped his nuts. He then entered the locker room to change. He stood 6 feet tall and weighed in at 220 pounds. He was muscular but not nearly as cut at Ethan. Not because of lack of trying, but just one other area where he wasn't quite up to Ethan. Where Ethan had dark hair, Parker was blonde. As such his body hair was not as noticeable unless he had a deep summer tan.
Ethan Marshall Winthrop III stepped out of the shower and toweled off. He realized that he was running late to see his lawyer and he had to hurry to get dressed. As he did so, he thought back to the beginning of the academic year.
It was almost nine months ago that he walked into his freshman dorm room. As was the family custom, he was staying in one of the original dorms and not in the newer modern "has every convenience" dorms. This custom was to show the "lesser" classes", most on scholarships, that he was not "above" them. A lie that everyone knew. It was an "old fashion" dorm in which each room had a sink, but the toilet and showers were down the hall. The roommates slept on pull out beds that left little room for walking. He walked in as an alpha jock used to getting what he wanted when he wanted it. He didn't take no for an answer.
He was surprised, disappointed, and disgusted when he realized that his roommate, Sam Jones was just the opposite. He stood 5'3" tall, weighed 115 pounds, and looked like the typical nerd. He almost shrank upon meeting Ethan. To Ethan, the only upside was that he wasn't going to have any problems with his roommate. The other upside was that Parker was in a different dorm.
Ethan had dressed this morning in a silk polo shirt, sports coat, and khaki pants that had cost $500.00 dollars alone. He walked into the building, which sat on Billionaire's row in the financial district, for his appointment with the lawyer. The offices of Princeton, Preston, Payne and associates, also informally known as the Pees, sat on the 30th floor and had a 360-degree view of the surrounding buildings and lake. Ethan walked over to a private elevator, inserted the code he had been texted that morning. The elevator opened immediately and he walked in. The walls were burnished brass, a very expensive painting of the lake hung on one wall and the carpet was plush and rich.
Ethan had no need to push any buttons as the elevator only made two stops – the lobby and the penthouse. When the elevator opened, he stepped out into a private vestibule made of marble and very expensive furnishings. He was met by a tanned young man with penetrating blue eyes and black hair. He was extremely handsome. He was wearing a tuxedo.
"Good morning, Mr. Winthrop. Mr. Preston is just finishing with a client and will be with you in one moment. In the meantime, can I get you a glass of champagne or something else to drink?"
"No thank you Todd, I am fine."
As they were talking, Todd was escorting him through a private door and into the interior of the offices. He was taken down a short hallway and then entered into a waiting room with a gorgeous view of the lake. He sat on a chair worth more than most people's car.
"He will be ready in just a moment and I will come out to get you, Sir."
"Thank you, Todd, and I keep telling you that you don't have to call me Sir."
"Mr. Preston would not approve, Sir."
Ethan knew that was going to be Todd's response, but loved to taunt him. He would never allow Todd to call him anything but sir.
Ethan just laughed and said, "I'm sure he wouldn't."
Less than a minute later Todd appeared and said, "Mr. Preston will see you now, Sir."
He was then escorted into the inner office which screamed expensive. The office, like the waiting room, had a magnificent view of the lake from the wall of windows.
"Ethan, how good to see you," Emerson Preston said as he stood from his chair. He was dressed in a silk shirt, silk tie and a bespoke suit that Ethan guessed cost 5-6 thousand dollars. He was only in his early thirty's but had already risen to the level of named partner.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" he asked as he shook Ethan's hand.
"I need you to review a contract for me, but first I have a question for you?" Todd replied as he sat in the upholstered guest chair.
"And what would that be?"
"How would you respond if you felt that the contract was not fair to me, on general terms, but I indicated that I was aware of that and wanted the contract to be executed and enforced anyway."
"Well, I would have to read the contract and then discuss it with you. If I found that it was not in your best interest, I would indicate that, but you are an adult and can sign what you wish. I would, of course, ask for a release from you so that you couldn't later place blame on me or the firm if things went south."
Ethan placed a manila folder on the desk and did it over. "Perfect. I would like you to review this contract and make suggestions for it. Once you start reading it, you will understand my question. But make no doubts about it, I want this contract to be executed and if you aren't willing to do so, I will find someone else. But I trust you to do the right thing."
"Now you have me intrigued and that isn't something that usually happens."
"Correct things that aren't correct. Also, anything that you feel should be added to improve the contract, add it. And that means even new terms if needed."
"I will get on it right away."
"Thank you, Mr. Preston," Ethan said as he stood. Emerson got a slightly confused look on his face as Ethan usually referred to him by his first name.
Todd appeared as if by magic and escorted Ethan back to the elevator. In the waiting room, Ethan passed Parker Van Saint, his greatest rival who always came in second best.
"Van Saint. I see you are once again waiting for your betters to get done so you can get your turn," Ethan crowed.
"Fuck you, Winthrop. The only thing you are better at than me at is being an asshole."
Ethan just laughed. "Hey, well let's see. I was the starting quarterback, I was the valedictorian, I got the head cheerleader, I beat your ass at swimming yesterday, which is supposed to be your specialty, etc., etc. And you got second pickings every other time as well. " Ethan then walked into the elevator.
When Todd turned to escort Parker into the office, the look Parker was giving to the closing elevator could only be described as one of pure hate and malevolence.
Once the doors opened into the lobby, Ethan exited the building. He had massive butterflies in his stomach and, for a brief moment, some concern about if he had done the right thing. But then he re-assured himself that he had.
Mr. Preston had read only a few lines before his eyebrows went up and he whistled a low whistle. "Ethan my boy. Who would have suspected it? And I'm sure that I will have some good suggestions to make to improve it." He then reached down and adjusted his hardening cock. He might just have to take Todd out to lunch today after all.

Mr. Preston realized that there was a problem with the contract so he drew up a separate agreement to supplement the contract, as well as some other papers.
Ethan Marshall Winthrop III, agrees that on May 1 he will begin to effectuate the purpose of the referenced contract by:
Being responsible for the packing and transporting of Master Js possessions to the new condominium.
Arranging for the final bills of the Master Js to be presented to them.
Any other activities that need to be done to effectuate the contract on its start time and date.
Agreeing to any reasonable requests from the Master Js.
Mr. Preston also drew up a release of liability form to relieve him from any issues relating to helping to implement this contract.
He drew up a release such that he could discuss the contract and any of its terms with the Master Js with the knowledge of Ethan.
The final paper he drew up would be a surprise for Ethan.
One week later.
"Hello, this is Ethan."
"Hi Ethan, this Mr. Preston. I have finished reviewing the contract and would like to review it with you."
"Su..Sure. Any major problems?"
"Nah, some minor adjustments and some suggested new terms, which I think you agree improves the contract and its purpose."
"Okay, when would you like to meet?"
"I can set it up for anytime. However, I would also like to invite Mr. James, Mr. Jones and Mr. Jenson to the meeting. That way we can eliminate some of the back and forth if we are all there together."
Ethan paused as he considered this. He knew that if he agreed, the new relationship would be on its way. He also knew it would be somewhat embarrassing for him.
"You there Ethan?"
"Oh, sorry Mr. Preston, just doing some thinking but yes that will fine. Do you want me to invite them??"
"Yes. Let's meet tomorrow at 1:00 at the office."
"Yeah, I'll, I mean we'll see you there."
The following day the four entered the building. Marc, Sam and Brad, casually dressed, were amazed at the building as they had never seen anything so opulent. They were somewhat intimidated by it. Ethan had chosen to wear some of his most expensive clothes. His appearance screamed "In Command."
When they walked into the elevator, the guard noticed that Ethan entered last behind his guests.
When the elevator opened on the top floor, Todd was waiting to meet them.
"Welcome Mr. Jones, Mr. James and Mr. Jenson to the offices of Princeton, Preston, Payne and associates. I am Todd Roberts and I will be taking you to Mr. Preston. While you are here if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. Hello Ethan."
Ethan instantly noticed the change in attitude from Todd as he wasn't as subservient as usual, but didn't have time to say anything as they were immediately taken to Mr. Preston's office.
As Todd opened the door, he announced "Mr. Preston, here are Mr. Jones, Mr. James, Mr. Jenson and Ethan to discuss the contract."
Mr. Preston walked across the office to greet them. As he did so he noticed the contrast between Ethan and the other three. They couldn't be more different in the clothes they wore, their demeanor and their attitude. The tallest of the three was only 5'6" tall and weighed at most 140. While they were short, they did appear to be in shape. Two looked like skaters and one looked like a typical nerd.
"Welcome Gentlemen. I am Emerson Preston, please call me Emerson. It is a pleasure to meet you."
He shook hands with each of the three. He ignored Ethan.
"Let's go over here and get comfortable."
He led the group over to a sitting area where there were four plush overstuffed chairs and one rigid back, cheap waiting room chair. He directed Ethan to the rigid backed chair, and the other three into the plush chairs. Ethan had immediately noted the change in atmosphere from Todd and was now seeing in from Mr. Preston. He felt his cock starting to engorge as he sat down.
"Gentleman, can Todd get you champagne or something to drink."
Sam spoke up, "Do you have any beer?"
"Of course. We have a very nice craft beer that is specially made for our clients that I think you would like." Mr. Preston then nodded at Todd.
Todd returned very shortly with four cold glasses of beer which he handed out. He gave Ethan a glass of warm tap water. The three Master Js smirked as they realized that Ethan was already being marginalized – and by people employed by him. This was getting good.
"First off, you must realize that I am the lawyer for Ethan so I have to look out for his best interests. I will go over the changes that I think should be incorporated, but I would recommend each of you have a lawyer, not the same one, look the contract over."
"I don't know any lawyers and not sure some would take this," Sam replied. The other two just nodded.
"That's okay. I am going to recommend three lawyers for you who will be more than happy to look over the contract for you. Now, I know that you are just college students, so Ethan will pay the lawyer's fee." He then looked at Ethan and asked "correct?"
"That would be correct," Ethan replied. Mr. Preston just stared at Ethan until he added "Sir."
The lawyer just smirked. "Now this fee arrangement will only cover the contract review..."
"Make it a permanent retainer agreement to cover any of their legal fees, Sir" Ethan interrupted.
Emerson just smirked. "Okay, we will add that to the contract.."
"No, a separate agreement. Actually, three separate agreements one for each of the Master Js. That way it will survive this contract. Sir."
Everyone in the room, other than Ethan just smiled when they heard Ethan refer to them as Master Js, even though the contract had not gone into effect.
"Sir, Make it a 10-year contract with the first 10-year renewal solely at the option of each Master J. Any future extension would have to have my agreement."
"That can be done easily enough." Emerson had Todd come into the office. He gave him an agreement he had on his desk and asked that it be made into three contracts ready to sign within the hour.
"Yes, sir," Todd replied.
Emerson handed out a copy of the contract to each of the people in the room.
"I will now briefly discuss the additions that I have recommended be made. All of these addendums are to further effectuate the intent that I see in the contract. If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know. Are you ready to begin?" he asked but looking only at the three young men in front of him.
They agreed and he began. As he reviewed the contract, he answered any and all questions. While the Master Js had some questions, Ethan remained silent until they got to the part about the $50.00 debit card.
"I think that should be reduced to $25.00 dollars, Sir", Ethan intoned.
"Well looks like Loser over there is finally figuring out his true place in the world," Brad laughed.
"Are we all in agreement then?" the lawyer asked.
When everyone agreed he continued to review the remainder of the contract. When discussing the gaming allowance of $200 a month, the Master Js indicated some concern that this amount was too low.
Listening to the concerns Ethan interrupted and stated "Increase it to $2000 a month, Mr. Preston".
Sam spoke up, "that should cover it. Oh, and by the way Ethan, if this contract were in effect that would have been a demerit for interrupting."
Ethan turned a little red, looked down at the floor and said, "Yes, Sir. I am sorry Sir"
"Any other concerns?," Emerson asked looking at each of the Master Js.
Seeing no comment, Ethan intoned "May I speak, Masters?" He looked at Master S as he asked this.
"You may, Loser" replied Sam.
Ethan then stated "I think that the contract should be changed to allow you, Mr. Preston, to discuss the contract with the Master Js without my knowledge or involvement, if you feel that is in the best interest of myself and the agreement."
Emerson nodded. "That is probably a good idea and I will make that change."
Once they had finished, Preston made the necessary changes and gave everyone a new copy of the agreement.
He then had everyone sign the lawyer fee agreements.
"I took the liberty of setting up appointments for each of you with your new lawyer. I guarantee that they are top notch lawyers who will have no problems reviewing this type of contract. Now, even though Ethan is paying, the lawyers are YOUR lawyers and will be looking out for your best interests. They will submit the bills to my office and I will have them paid. Any other questions?"
There being no other questions, Emerson summoned Todd and asked him to escort everyone out of the room except for Ethan.
Once the room was cleared, Emerson asked Ethan "Was that satisfactory for you?"
Ethan answered, while not looking the lawyer in the eye, "Yes, sir it was. I think you grasp the situation well. When my family finds out about this, will there be a problem?"
"For you legally, no. Socially, probably. As for me, maybe. Your father isn't going to be happy. But I think that he may be able to be brought around. But remember, I am your lawyer not his. Now I have some documents that I need you to sign. The first is your satisfaction with this meeting and your stated intent that enforcement of the agreement is what you want and is your best interests. The next is a release of liability form absolving me of any liability in the terms of this contract. The next is a release allowing me to discuss this contract with the Master Js at any time with or without your knowledge or presence."
He then called Todd in to witness the signatures.
Ethan noticed the use of the term "Master Js". He took the agreements, read them and signed them.
"There is one final agreement. This one...well it is perfectly self-explanatory". Ethan began reading the agreement, stopped and looked up at Emerson with a stunned look.
"Seriously?", he asked. "I'm not sure about this."
"It is, of course, your choice, but I feel that it would be best. And it is in agreement with the terms of the contract. This could be your `signing' gift for your new Masters."
While Ethan still looked uncertain, Mr. Preston said "Look it is your choice. But this makes the most sense. If you are trying to hedge your bets, then maybe you should rethink this entire thing.
Ethan then hesitantly signed it. When Todd witnessed the signature, he just chuckled.
"I need you to verbalize that you intend for this to occur,' Preston said when he noticed Ethan's hesitance.
Ethan stood silent for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, Sir. This what I want to happen."
"Okay, Todd you may escort Ethan out."
"This way, Ethan," Todd said with obvious disdain in his voice.
Ethan blushed red as he got up and followed Todd out of the office. He was surprised when they walked past the private elevator and to another door. Todd opened it and gestured inside. When Ethan stepped in he noticed that it was the stairs.
Ethan turned and looked at Todd who whispered, "I feel that this would be more appropriate way for you to exit the building, don't you?"
Ethan realized that this was what his life was going to be like. He started to have some second thoughts. But to Todd he said, "Yes, Sir you are correct. Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Roberts. I will see you later, Sir." He then turned and began the long trek down 30 flights of stairs.
