Chapter 55. Dancing and chatting and slaves are taken home.
Phil and Doug join the dancing with their dates, and then a few other guys from the swim team join in along with Peter/tyler and the newly re-united Gus/calvin. Tommy, dylan and their parents break up and head to the table to get some supper. The food is exquisite, but you would probably know more about sexual matters at this point, so I'll leave them all enjoying the reception while we tune in the other couples who have slithered their way into this story, ensuring that it is going to get longer and longer unless I figure out a way to wean them all away. So anyway, Michael and the slave he names aspin are watching the dancing. A couple of Michael's friends pop by, a gay couple who work for Roberts, inc., names Austin and Philip. "I'm surprised to see other gay couples here," says Michael.
"We got invited because we work for their father," Austin explains.
"Gee, I also didn't know you two were together. Are congratulations in order?"
"Help! I've been captured and enslaved against my will," faux cries Philip, and they all end up laughing.
"Have you guys met the grooms ever?"
"No we haven't. Wanna introduce us?"
"I'll be happy to," says Michael who turns to Aspin and says "stay! When we get home later I'm going to flog you from your neck to your knees so I can learn how you react to different parts of your body being whipped. Think about that if you get bored." Michael runs his hand through aspin's hair (which causes the old sub to gasp with pleasure). He gets up and brings the Phillip and Austin over to the table where the new grooms are seated.
"Hey, Tommy, guess what? Your father has no problem hiring gay employees!" They all laugh over that. "These guys work for your Dad and got invited through the corporation." Austin extends his hand. "Austin. Congratulations to both of you." and then he turns and gestures towards Philip, "and this is my slave Philip." Tommy gets a kick out of that and dylan blushes as Tommy introduces him as "the star of my dungeon." Michael really enjoys that and guffaws. What a classy way to let Austin and Philip know they're sympatico.
Tommy says to Michael, "Cuz, please get their contact information. We'll have to plan something when we get back from our honeymoon."
"Where are you going?" asks Austin.
"The Big Apple: New York City," replies Tommy.
Philip gets excited. "Oh, Oh, don't you dare miss "pork night" at Zeller's. It's wild and if one of you is naked, you both get in for free!" Austin gives Philip a dirty look. Philip drops his head and mumbles "sorry."
"Why haven't you ever told me about this before," asks Austin. "And how many times were you there naked, slut?"
"It was only once and I was there with my best friend who was pretending to be my Dom so I could be naked," explains Philip.
"And how was it?" asks his Master.
"If I told you, you'd probably be dragging me there every week," says Philip slyly.
"You'll tell me before the night is over, boy," says Austin, ominously.
Philip just lowers his head and stays silent.
"Philip, Sir, would it be okay if I had a conversation with your boy?" asks dylan, really wanting to find out more about pork night to decide if he'd want to go there. Philip gives permission. Both boys thank him as they walk away together. dylan takes him into that private room they had to speak with him. Meanwhile, Tommy takes advantage of the situation by having some private time with Austin as well.
"So please tell me more about what it was like there when you were stripped. Do you think Tommy and I would have a good time?" asks dylan.
"Hard to say, dylan. When I was there I was a single slut with my buddy. I had no restrictions and no one to answer for. I got used, heavy and hard, by several people, some together, some separate. Intense humiliation. Rough body work, especially my balls. Fingers up my hole roughly with no lube. Kicked around and made to crawl across the floor while two guys chased me with their straps."
"that all sounds very hot but it wouldn't fly with Tommy, I think. We'll have to talk about it and I'll tell him about what happened to you. Shit, I could really go for something like that but I don't think my husband would allow anyone to touch me in any way," explains dylan.
"Well isn't he your Master as well as your husband?" asks Philip?
"Yes, but . . . we really don't live like that except for a few special times. And we keep switching from one mode to another. But one thing is always true no matter what: Tommy is extremely protective of me and always has been. And I have to admit that I love it. I always feel so safe. So if Tommy doesn't think that scene at pork night would be safe for me, or if it becomes unsafe at some point in the evening, he'll wrap me in his leather arms and spirit me away."
"Wow," reacts Philip. "I don't know if I can say the same thing about Master---and he is always Master to me. I know I'm going to be punished later for bursting out talking about Zeller's as if I were nothing but a regular guy. Master Austin is training a lot of that regular shit out of me."
"Is that okay for you?" asks dylan.
"It's actually a major turn-on, surrendering the right to act like a regular guy. I love it when Master breaks me to something."
"Can you give me an example, Philip?"
"Let me think . . . oh, this is a big one and I blew it tonight. It's a question of starting to join in a conversation as if we've just a bunch of regular guys. I've gotten a lot better about it, but obviously I still need more training. Master has an interesting theory about that."
"Can you explain," asks Dylan.
"Philip thinks for a minute . . . that when a slave is trained it's no longer a matter for discipline or punishment. The desired behavior must become instinctive in a slave. This takes a lot of time. At least that's what he says. Not sure if I'll get to that point with anything yet."
dylan says "I think it's good that you realize you still have a long way to go. That is good motivation. But tell me, are you two always in your roles or do you relax things from time to time and act normally. Well, not normally, but you know what I'm thinking."
"dylan, you think of it as a form of roleplay because that's how it works out for you two. We don't role play. Austin is a Master. I am a slave. That is the way it is. That is the way we live," explains Philip.
"Kind of blows my mind. My sub-ness is nothing at all as well-developed as yours."
"It's better not to compare, dylan, if I could make a suggestion. They're all just different situations, unique to the identities of each individual couple," explains Philip.
At this point, dylan realizes that Philip might become some sort of mentor for him. "Thank you for explaining all that to me, Philip. Would it be all right if I had further questions to talk with you again?"
"That depends on Master's decision, but I'd certainly be willing. Speak to Tommy about it. That might help."
. . .
MEANWHILE, let's find out what Austin and Tommy have to say to each other.
"I admire the way your boy always seems so relaxed around you," notes Austin.
"safe is the word we use. Yes, things to tend to be relaxed most of the time. However, at any particular moment I could change the nature of our relationship to a point where dylan might be as restricted as what you're trying to do with your slave," explains Tommy. "But it is a very fluid thing between us, sometimes it almost seems like we switch modes after every sentence, but it's a hell of a lot of fun for us. However, if at any moment I wanted things formal, my will prevails."
"What you have is a lot more complex in many ways than our bond," says Austin. "I am always Master. The boy is always slave. That never shifts in any way whatsoever."
"Does the slave have any way to give input or share a reaction to what is happening?" I find it important for me to know what's going on in dylan's mind, although most of the time now, I can pretty well read him."
Austin takes some time to think. "I would have to say that the input would be non-verbal. In fact, that's for sure. That's very easy when it comes to punishment or any kind of pain. But as far as other matters, questions of behavior or custom or reacting to any other kinds of decisions, I'm really not sure."
"You don't give the slave some safe space to talk?" asks Tommy.
"No. Not yet, anyway. And we do not work with each other on the job. That would be hideously complicated if we had to do that. But as far as our lifestyle goes, I do what I think best. My pleasure is the constant goal. The slave obeys, and adapts, and learns if in no other way than as the result of punishment."
"I don't know. That seems too demeaning for me. I couldn't treat dylan like that."
"But dylan isn't your slave the way Philip is mine. Philip needs to be treated like a slave. That's just the way he's made. I'm sure some shrinks would have a field day with the whole concept, but actually it's none of their business. What we do works for us, just as what you and your new husband do works for you."
"I'll bet you anything," chuckles Tommy.
"Bet me what?"
"I'll bet you that dylan is going to ask if we could ever watch the two of you in action."
"Just come to the club we go to some time and you'll get to see that. I enjoy showing off the power I have over my slave to others," boasts Austin. "If the two of you weren't off for your honeymoon, I'd let you sit in and see what I'm going to do to punish my slave for jumping into the conversation the way it did. Not only that, but this slave has never ever mentioned what goes on at Zeller's to me in the past, or that it's been there getting worked over. There's going to be reckoning for that tonight. You might even get to hear some of its screams in New York tonight."
"Wow. That was a big no-no, eh?"
"Absolutely. And it knows better. The excitement overcame its usual conditioning. Slaves, the way I see it, do not voluntarily take part in a conversation between their betters."
"But dylan is a sub too."
"that doesn't matter. I continually work to help the slave understand that it is on the absolute bottom of the totem pole when it comes to things like that."
"Interesting. Very interesting. It will give me a lot to think about. Meanwhile, let's go get the boys before they cook up something we might not agree with," says Tommy, shaking Austin's hand and then heading off to find his husband.
Tommy tries to rescue the sub. "Hey, Philip, thanks so much for the info. We do want to go to some kinky places a couple nights. What night is 'pork night'?
"It used to be Wednesdays, but just check when you get there. The entire NYC gay scene is on line," replies Austin.
"So Michael, who's that guy you're with?" asks dylan.
"It's a long story," answers Mike. "The short of it is that he had a Master for a long time who died and has been single since. Can only find scene players. I think I'm gonna give it a shot, even thought he's a lot older than me."
"Good for you," says dylan. "My husband is older than me and it's worked out fine."
Tommy gently pats him the back of the head. "Yea. A whole five months older. And damn, it's tough keeping this kid in line."
"Well good luck, Michael. I hope something works out. Poor guy, having his Master die so young." dylan is all heart.
"It's different. I don't have to do any extensive training. Just sit back and enjoy whatever I want. Nothing serious yet. Just some hot fun," explains Michael. "Speaking of which, I'd better get back to him. Not sure he knows anyone here."
When Michael goes back to his table, aspin is deep in conversation with a much older gentleman who appears to be a member of Corporate. As soon as Michael approaches, the man introduces himself. "Jason Compline," he says, "I knew this . . . .he looks around . . . . . slave for a great many years. It's nice to see someone taking an interest in it. I was around when it was just a frisky pup pulling at its Master's leash. A lot history has gone by."
"I'll definitely want to get in touch with you, says Michael."
"this pup should have my number in its phone . . . . or is that not allowed?"
"Still have my phone, Sir," answers aspin.
"um, I believe the Sir was speaking to me, not to you, brat!" says Michael, and again aspin lowers its head.
"You know," says Jason in an attempt to keep aspin out of trouble, "I've always found it nearly impossible to observe any sort of protocol at social events such as these."
"True," says Michael, "but there are still certain basic behaviors that I would have expected from a trained slave. I guess, however, that more training will be needed. It will begin tonight at my whipping post."
"More training is always needed," says Jason. "I wish you well, Michael. It's nice to see that not everyone is hungering after barely legal twinks these days. As time goes by, it's getting more and more difficult to work with those types of boys. They have no ingrained sense of respect for authority. Last time I agreed to work with a 19yo blond-haired twink, cute as hell, for a friend of mine who had to be away on business. I went to the house, the boy answered naked . . .so far, so good . . . . I took it to the bedroom and said, `I'm going to fuck you. Get up on the bed on your tummy,' and the kid gave me attitude and cursed me out. Not worth the trouble. But maybe it's because I'm getting so old."
"I've had my share of difficult situations as well, Jason. It's not just your age. The problem these days is that its all too theatrical. A lot of young bucks want to "play" slave but don't have the drive to be trained how to "become" slave. No patience. No realistic sense of what they can actually handle and what is just a crazy masturbation fantasy. I tell you, Jason, our friend Tommy is a master craftsman at being a Master. Okay, sure, they've been friends since they were practically toddlers, but Tommy is the perfect Master, so much so that sometimes, dylan doesn't even realize how expertly he's been trained. He's a total slave to Tommy but Tommy doesn't always use those words so there's no real pressure. It's just what is. Hard to describe, but I have tremendous respect for him and wish I could have as much class as he has."
"Michael, that's an admirable thing to say. I certainly wish you well as you spend time with . . .um . . ..aspin?" "that's right," says Michael. "I just hope it goes well. I suspect it will be a refreshing difference for you. And if it doesn't work out for any reason, please contact me before casting the boy off to the side. I might just have to take it for myself after all. I've thought about it in the past but figure that we have too much history to make it work, but if it doesn't work out with you, I'll gladly take over. If nothing else, at least I can deal adequate punishment for its failure."
Jason is turning aspin on so much at this point that the slave is actually beginning to feel like it should turn from Michael and offer itself to Jason. But it's learned over the years not to simply follow feelings without thinking. It's committed to staying here with Michael for the time being. He's determined. He won't give up. Ultimately, it's Michael's choice whether or not to take this specimen home from the slave market. Nonetheless, its mind is blown. aspin never realized that Jason would even consider taking him as his slave.
After Jason leaves the table, Michael says to aspin, "let's go. I've spoken to the boys. I'm aching to beat an old slave tonight, to see what it can handle." Without a word, aspin gets up from the table and follows Michael out to the car. As soon as Michael heads away from the club he says to aspin "strip. Now. Fold the clothes nicely. I want you crawling from the car into the house. I want you a little dirty while I whip you."
BACK TO THE WEDDING RECEPTION
Thomas has heard a lot about Phil and Doug and what supportive friends they are to "the boys." He makes it a point to introduce himself and get to know them a bit. He certainly has an ulterior motive: he's always looking for young talent but beyond that, he firmly believes that decent young men can go far no matter what former training they've had. It's men like Phil and Doug that Thomas likes to have in his organization. They're both incoming seniors like "the boys," so he makes a mental note to himself to keep an eye on them over the coming year. He's already thinking of some way to organize a relaxed social event—a dinner, perhaps---to continue observing them in social situations. It's ironic: he places a lot of importance on these matters and yet, the son he adores, his precious dylan, is at his worst in such settings. But Thomas has a place in mind for dylan, a place where he can enjoy using his gifts but also a place where he'll feel safe and not put under any undue pressure. It will all work out.
Peter/tyler are seated at the same table as Tony/markus and Gus/calvin, so they're all having a very good time and are interested in hearing the others' stories as they get better acquainted. Gus knows Peter and, in fact, has seen him in action at the club more than once, so he knows that tyler must be under rigid discipline most of the time although he seems very relaxed and natural here at the reception. Peter must have ordered it. Gus watches calvin and the way he interacts with the other two subs and is pleased to see that he seems to be adequately self-possessed. He's interested in finding out how calvin responds to the lash, so to speak, but this isn't his highest priority. He and Calvin only lived together for two years before Gus went his own way. He remembers how painful it was to want to fuck Calvin at the time, but Calvin was only in high school and probably only barely aware he was gay. No. Far better to wait around and see how things might work out. It was sheer coincidence that he and Calvin ended up together this time but he was damn well going to do everything he could to make this relationship succeed. He so wants Calvin naked and at his feet, even here at the reception. Interestingly enough, about 45 minutes into the dancing part of the reception, Peter decides to leave and so Gus sees this as a perfect opportunity for them to make their way home as well.
PETER
"I'm both pleased and disappointed right now," says Peter as he drives away from the club. Pleased at the way you handled yourself tonight, slave, but also disappointed that now I don't have any reason to punish you." tyler thinks this strange. Since when has Peter needed a reason? But then Peter says exactly what he was thinking: "I don't need a reason to beat you, slave, I know, but not tonight. I have six friends from the club coming over at 10:30 and they're going to have some fun with you. As soon as we get home I want you to strip and clean out your ass because I want to fuck you before my buddies show up. Be quick about it, but be thorough. You'll be licking my cock clean after I pull it out of your ass, so you'd better make sure you're good and clean."
"Yes, Master." tyler wonders what the `entertainment' is going to be.
GUS
"I know we're brothers, calvin, but that's not how I want to think of you and you of me."
"I'm not sure what you mean, Gus."
"I'll put it bluntly and I hope you can handle it because if you can't we're going to have a problem: I want to think of you as a slave I just bought off the market and I want you to think of me as your "Master." Only as "Master." Do you understand, slave?"
"Yes, Master," replies Calvin and from his tone of voice Gus realizes that he has no reason at all to doubt that this will work out just fine.
They get lost in their private conversation. "You're a fine cocksucker, boy, although I do have to break past your gag reflex. I want you to know that I'm not into burns, permanent marks, or anything involving shit. Other than that, I might some day try everything else so you damn well better tell me right here right now if there are things that are unnegotiable limits for you."
"Master, I've wanted this for a very long time. The fact that it turns out that you are my Master makes it even more wonderful. Please take me and train me to be the kind of slave you want, Master, no matter what that might be. I have my safe word, but I want to surrender to you, Master. I want to be whatever you want me to be, Master. I don't have much experience, Master, but I need to be a well-trained slaveboy. You will be the one to introduce me to spanking and whipping, Master. I've never had any of that yet."
"You will definitely taste my lash, slave, and you have to trust your Master that he will be able to work with your tolerances before trying to expand them. All good Masters do that, otherwise they wouldn't have any slaves to slap around. So you have nothing to worry about that, slave. What you should worry about is how you will get used to being naked all the time even when I have guests, and how you will hardly ever get higher off the floor than when you're kneeling up. I prefer you close to the ground, slave, to show how low you are in the hierarchy of human beings---you who I will see as much less than a human being. Inferior to all, Calvin, keep that in mind and cultivate that frame of mind and you'll do fine. If you get uppity, or show any trace of resistance to my wishes, then things will turn ugly for you. Ugly and painful. Your are meant to be subjugated. You are meant to be crushed under the boots of superior beings. You are meant to lick spilled piss off my floors as well as cum and spit. Get used to running that faggot tongue over my floors and over my body and you'll do fine in the beginning."
"Thank you, Master, for coaching this slave about what it can expect."
"All that being said, let's get out of here. I'm eager to bring you down, boy."
And so they too leave.
AT THE RECEPTION
Meanwhile, Tommy and dylan, let by Thomas, are making the rounds among Thomas' business associates, all of whom are happy to meet them in person and congratulate them for the beautiful way they had expressed their love for one another. "That's what we all need," says Margaret Boylston, Thomas' CFO, "demonstrations of love that transcend the judgments so many in our society wish to heap upon people who are different than them. You've both taught me a lot today and I'll be forever grateful to you for the way you've touched my heart." Each of them gives her a hand to hold and she glows with admiration and then turns to introduce them to the other people seated at her table. Through her they get to meet some of the most responsible people in the corporation. Their warm congratulations bring joy to their hearts. Tommy meets Barry Middleton, the director of his internship and they make arrangements to get together once the couple returns from their honeymoon. Dylan spends a few minutes talking with Edgar Royce, the director of the "human resources" division, to whom he'll be reporting when they return from New York.
PETER
Peter had invited seven of his kinkiest sleaziest friends to come to his place for what he is calling a slavebaptism for tyler. He told tyler it would happen, but tyler wasn't really sure he'd find a way to pull it off, as hot as the idea might seem. "Some day I'm going to see you naked on the ground and covered in cum, spit and piss. It will be a time to remember."
"you can do anything you want to me, Master. Anything that will help bring me lower," tyler's said a number of times to Peter, so this is nothing new. In fact, it was probably said mindlessly as the proper response all of Peter's ideas. Nonetheless, it's true. That is part of what's driving tyler down the hole leading to total slavery. His only fear is that Peter will one day want to give him to a different Master because he's grown tired of this slave. As it stands, Peter told him that he was going to advertise him on MastCat, which stands for "Masters' Catalogue."
There's always a rejoinder saying that this is nothing more than fantasizing by men who enjoy the theme. However, there are some very real situations being played out on it. A slave is put up for bidding on a zoom-type platform, and Peter actually knows the guy who bought it because he immediately took the slave and locked it in solitary confinement for 72 hours to help it transition into a new existence. Peter hasn't yet found out how things turned out. It is also quite clear that a great many slaves were offered for temporary "terms of service" to anyone interested. All of these offers are arranged face-to-face by the owner and buyer and of course, the owner has the final say as to whether or not his slave will be given to a Master who wants to rent it.
Peter tried it once, but the meeting between him and the slave's owner did not go well. The owner wasn't allowing any corporal punishment in this arrangement, so Peter lost interest and backed away. The owner suggested that Peter put this preference of his into his own profile in order to avoid any more disappointments over that issue. Peter hasn't had any other involvement, but obviously it is something that will probably be part of tyler's life as soon as he feels the boy is ready for it. A lot of times the idea is hot but then it's not something one could actually do. He'll make absolutely sure that there are no surprises, and he'll insist that the slave's safe words be respected if they are used. He got this idea from one of the older members of his college fraternity. "The guy renting your property must be told that if the slave uses a safe word, it will have to justify it to its Master and punishment for needlessly using it will be severe." Damn! It's all been figured out.
