Subject: Dr. Carnassi's Adventures

CHAPTER SIX- Joey's punishment.


As Joey swung aimlessly in the air, Bubba began to adjust the ropes that
controlled the height and angle of the chair's contents. As Bubba made the
adjustments, Joey was railing on about how he didn't like the idea of
punishment, he had never extended the right to punish, and finished his
rant with, "When I get through suing you and Carnassi, you won't have a pot
to pee in."

"Sue?" Bubba said, "How are you going to sue, white boy? We got a whole
file full of your writing describing your deviant sexual practices,
fantasies, and other kinky shit like that. Are sure you want to even think
about suing anyone?"

It occurred to me that I had filled out the same forms. Before I could
explore that very long, Cedric came over with a glass of "orange juice"
with a straw in it and pushed it under my nose saying, "Drink this. " I
sucked on the straw and quickly downed the concoction, whatever it was; it
sure altered one's sensations. He took a similar glass to Joey.

While Bubba was getting Joey positioned just right, Cedric was busy, too,
setting up the bowl of lube on the warmer, refilling it from a large can in
one of the cabinets. Bubba seemed to have the rig like he wanted it. Joey's
butt was up in the air, his head down, his legs pulled towards his head so
that his butt cheeks were exposed. Turning to the cabinet, he pulled out
the paddle I had seen in the video, a wide plywood affair with holes in it,
mounted on what looked like a tennis or racquetball racket handle.

Bubba then put a cinch around Joey's balls and pulled them up out of his
crotch, cinching the cord tightly and locking it in place with a little
fastening device.


He turned toward Joey and said, "White boy, you are going to pay for
disobeying Dr. Carnassi.  You are going to beg me to stop and then you are
going to beg me to fuck you."

"Fat fucking chance," Joey said with a big sneer on his face.

Bubba drew back his warm and swatted Joey on his buns; "Whack!" it went.

"Ow! That hurt you son of a bitch!" Joey said.

"Whack!"  Another swat, this one seemed to be a little harder.

"Whack!" "Whack!"  "Whack!" Bubba laid it on him and Joey was responding
with a stream of invective, and each time he called Bubba an SOB or used
the "N" word, the swats seemed to get harder.

"All right, that's enough," Joey said, "You've spanked me and probably left
enough physical evidence to convince Dr. Carnassi that you have punished
me" Joey shouted, but it was evident he was in a lot more pain than he was
letting on. He had remained stoically silent through all of the blows to
his butt, so far.

"Whack!" Bubba's pattern was to first swat and then let the swing move away
from him on the force of the blow, then swats again as it rebounded toward
him. Each blow kept Joey swinging in the air. And just when Joey thought he
had the rhythm figured out and would tense up his buttocks before the blow,
Bubba let him pass and then stepped into the stroke and would swat Joey as
he moved toward Cedric on the other end.

It was about the 20th swat that Joey began to make a noise when Bubba
swatted him while he was on the rebound and quickly again when the chair
swung towards him. He repeated this four more times, until Joey was not
just grunting, but now uttering little cries with each blow.

The chair was swinging in a wider and wider arc, a clear indication to me
that the swats were harder and harder. Joey was screaming.

"Stop, stop now, that hurts bad!"

"You don't want me to fuck you, now, white boy? Do you?"

"No!" Joey said.

"Well then you haven't had enough of the paddle," Bubba said as he applied
two more resounding whacks.

As each of those licks hit him, Joey screamed louder and longer.  His butt
was beginning to look bright red.

"Whack!" Another scream.


"Want me to stop?" Bubba asked.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Joey said his voice very unsteady and shaky. In the
meantime, Cedric had slipped his sweat pants off and stood there now naked
from his tank top down to his sneakers.

He was fondling his cock and it looked like a big one that was growing
bigger as he watched Joey swinging in pain.

"Whack!" Joey began to cry.  At first a sniffle accompanied by tears. As
the blows continued, the sniffles turned into sobs and the drops of tears
turned into a stream running down his face.  Cedric changed the strap
holding Joey's head up so that it was now hanging down towards the floor,
the tears streaming down into his hair. He stepped up and put the head of
his now fully erect cock to Joey's lips. It looked to be about nine or ten
inches and fat. Wide from the bulbous head to the base.

"Get away from me you son of a bitch," he screamed at Cedric.

Cedric's voice held a tone of mock disappointment, when he said, "Oh, poor
little baby white boy, you don't want to nurse on my dick?"

"Get away!" Joey screamed through his sobs.

"Whack!" "White boy, you need to nurse on Cedric's dick. You're gonna get
the paddle until you beg him to let you suck his dick."

"Never!" Joey sobbed out as the paddle went "Whack!" again.

"Whack!"

"And you're gonna get the paddle until you beg me to fuck you.

"Whack!"

You better start thinking about what you are going to say ("Whack!") `cause
I don't fuck just any white boy I put in this chair, I have to be convinced
you want it and are going to enjoy.

("Whack!") I've got a big black cock and I don't get it up for just any
body. You gotta have some really special booty."

"Whack!"

Joey's sobs had turned to screams and he was begging Bubba to stop. "Puh,
please don't hit me any more I can't take any more, Please! Please! Please
stop!"

"Whack!"

"Naw, I ain't gonna stop, white boy, I'm gonna hit you ("Whack!") and hit
you ("Whack!") and hit you, ("Whack!") until you beg for Cedric's dick in
your mouth and want me, really, really ("Whack!")  want me to fuck you. Are
you ready for that?"

Joey was silent except for the sup supping sounds of someone who is all
cried out.  Then Bubba gave him another resounding whack on the butt.

"Please! " Joey screamed. It was a long extended sound that made the word
"please" have several syllables.


"Please what?!" Bubba said,

"Please fuck me, Bubba!" Joey shouted and began sobbing again.

"Whack!" "Whack!" "Whack!"

"That's Mr. Bubba or Master, to you, white boy! "

Joey said nothing and then there was another "Whack!"

I could see what he should do, but I was too afraid of what might happen to
me if I said a word.  I kept my mouth shut. I knew I didn't want anything
to do with that paddle.

"Whack!"

Joey screamed out, "Please fuck me, Mr. Bubba!"

"I don't know, white boy, it don't sound like you want me very badly."

"Whack!"

"And what about Cedric, don't you want his dick?"

"Whack!"

"Oh yes," Joey said. "Whack!"

"Ow, what's that for? I said I wanted him."

"Whack!"

"Didn't sound sincere to me, white boy."

"Whack!"

"Try again, white boy."

"Whack!"

Joey was shaking all over at every blow, now. He had pissed all over
himself. He was blubbering and begging Bubba to fuck him, pleading for a
chance to suck Cedric's

dick.

"No, white boy ("Whack!") I can't fuck you, you hurt my feelings, you
called me a son of a bitch and a nigger. ("Whack!") Aren't you sorry for
that?"

"Whack!"

Joey couldn't say enough about how sorry he was. It was hard to understand
most of his words through the sobs and the blubbering.

Bubba was shedding his pants and just pushing the chair to make it swing
towards Cedric who was teasing Joey by offering Joey his dick and letting
the pendulum motion of the chair take away the opportunity to actually make
contact with his erect member.

Joey tried to turn his head away from Cedric's dick.

Bubba was standing there with a semi erect dick in his hand. It was big
right then but it obviously had a lot of growing to do before it was ready
to plunge into Joey's ass.


"Whack!" "White boy, you are, I repeat are, going to suck Cedric's dick.
If you don't, then I'm going to go into the storage room and get that big
bucket of water with all your shit in it from the enemas this evening, and
I'm going to pour it right in your face and down your throat, would you
like that instead?"

That last did it. Joey screamed out and said, "Oh, please don't ... no,
don't get the bucket, don't hit me anymore, let me suck Cedric's dick, fuck
me, do anything you want, but don't pour that filth on me and please,
please, please, just don't hit me anymore.

"Whack!"

That lick did it. Joey lost all control of himself, he pissed all over
himself again. It was obvious he was completely under Bubba's control and
ready to totally subject himself to Bubba's commands. His fear had taken
him over completely. He begged for Cedric's dick, he told Bubba how much he
wanted him to fuck him.

"You want this, white boy," Bubba said, indicating his dick. "It's one big
dick.  Are you sure you want it up your ass?"

Joey couldn't respond with enough "Oh, yes's."

As he adjusted the ropes that controlled the height of Joey's butt,
lowering it so that it was exactly the height of Bubba's cock, he continued
to talk to Joey, "Yes sir, white

boy, you're going to your ass filled with this dick, and I'm looking
forward to getting it all in you and coming in your white ass. I'm going to
fill you up with my jism."

The adjustments complete, Bubba turned to the bowl of lube and rubbed it
all over the head and length of his dick.  With a turn, he stepped toward
Joey and then paused. He adjusted the ropes some more and pulled Joey's
legs wide apart. "Now I can see your little pucker, white boy."

He shoved about half of his monstrous tool into Joey's ass, causing him to
gasp.

"You like that, white boy? Well here's some more." Another thrust and he
was all the way into Joey's ass, his pelvis against Joey's butt.

Cedric loosened the strap that held Joey's head and let it fall completely
back, the action pulled his mouth open and Cedric began to slide his cock
into Joey's mouth as Bubba set up a swinging motion which slid his dick in
and out of Joey's ass. Cedric moved closer and forced more of his dick into
Joey's mouth, nearly half of it was now disappearing and then appearing
with each swing of the chair.

As more of Cedric plunged down Joey's throat, he gagged. On the next swing
of the chair, almost all of Cedric's big tool was down Joey's throat and he
was gagging even more. I could see his stomach muscles contract as the cock
hit his gag spot in his throat. Even though he was bound pretty tight even
at his waist, his body tried to double up in the convulsions that brought
the first of his earlier meal up into his mouth. The vomit was spilling out
of his mouth around Cedric's dick. Cedric quickly moved back to avoid
getting on himself.

Bubba pulled his cock out of Joey's ass and gave him another "Whack!" with
the paddle, saying, "Don't be puking on Cedric's dick! You asked for it
white boy, now swallow the whole thing and let the man enjoy himself."

Joey convulsed again and more of his meal spilled out all over his face,
running down into his eyes and ears.


Cedric lifted his head in his hands to give him a better position, and
said, "Now get all that stuff ouf your mouth, white boy, so I can finish
properly fucking your mouth and throat."

Then he rammed his whole dick down Joey's throat again, producing more
vomiting action although there wasn't much left to come up. Cedric pulled
back looking disgusted and said, "I guess I'll just to half way do the
job."

From then on he was more cautious of how much of his big tool he pushed
into Joey's mouth.

At the other end, Bubba shoved back into Joey's ass, pushing the swing back
and forward while he stood perfectly still letting his dick slide in and
out of Joey's ass while requiring nothing more of himself than using his
arms to move the swing. Cedric took up a stance at Joey's mouth that
allowed the same for him.

I guess Joey began to enjoy it because he moaned softly around Cedric's
cock each time Bubba shoved his dick into his ass, and he was starting to
grow an erection.

"Well lookee there, " Bubba said, "White boy must be enjoying himself,
getting fucked at both ends, look at that puny little prick of his trying
to stand up and watch."

Cedric chuckled and said, "His wife must be awfully disappointed to not get
any more than that. You reckon we ought to go `round and see her too?"

Cedric turned his head towards me and shouted, "Hey, little man."

Now I'm only six foot one, but I have never had anyone call me "little man"
but now it was happening and I was slow to recognize that he was talking to
me.

"Yeah, you. Your lover's got a hard on, you want to come suck him off?"

"I ... I don't know."  I stammered, unsure what I should say.

"You don't know what?" he shouted back.

"I don't know if I want to ..."

"You don't know MR. CEDRIC, sir," he shouted, with great emphasis on the
"Mr.  Cedric" part.

" I guess if you want me to I can, Mr. Cedric" was the best I could manage.

With a huff, he pulled his dick out of Joey's mouth and came over to where
I was chained to the wall and undid my shackles. "Well get your little ass
over there and give his puny little prick some attention."

I quickly made my way to Joey' side and, avoiding looking at his
vomit-covered face, I took his cock in my hand and began to manipulate the
skin up and down. Cedric returned and put his dick back into Joey's mouth
while Bubba kept up his incessant probing of his ass with all twelve inches
of his member.

"Go ahead, give him some head," Cedric said, and I quickly bent over and
took the head of Joey's dick into my mouth. I gave him the tongue action
all around the head that I knew he liked while Bubba's swinging of the
chair plunged Joey's cock in and out of my mouth. It must have been quite a
sight. Joey was laid out flat on his back in the chair, now made into a bed
of sorts, his feet pulled up towards the ceiling with two huge men on
either end of him plunging their monstrous dicks into his body and me
bending over trying to keep his dick in my mouth and he swung back and
forth.

"Now when he comes, little man, you get it out of your mouth and jerk him
off on his stomach, you hear. Don't let one drop of him cum go in your
mouth, I want to see it all right there on his stomach, you understand."
Cedric ordered.

I nodded my head.

"Answer me, little man!"

I pulled off Joey's cock and said, "Yes sir, Mr. Cedric, sir" and went back
to letting his cock run in and out of my mouth, keeping it shallow enough
in my throat to avoid gagging.

All the while, Bubba was talking to Joey, " That sure is a tight little ass
you've got there white boy, you'd think all those dildo's and butt plugs
would have stretched it a little. Yes, sir, nice warm tight ass. I think
I'd like to keep you around here to use as my bitch when I want a break
from all the pussy I get. You ever get any pussy, white boy?"

Joey made no attempt to answer, he was way into sucking Cedric off, and
from the sounds Cedric was making, he was getting close to losing his load
in Joey mouth.

Meanwhile, in my mouth, I could feel Joey's cock getting harder and his cum
string swelling.  Just before he came, I pulled his dick out of my mouth
and, as Cedric had instructed me, jerked him off, letting his cum shoot all
over his chest and abdomen, with the last few drops dribbling down his
shaft and onto my hand.

I stood up, but Cedric barked, "Lick his dick clean, little man. Don't let
any of that cum go to waste." I was getting aroused by all of this sucking
and licking and couldn't hide it.

So I was back down on Joey licking and sucking the last few drops of cum
out of his cock. As it began to soften, I stood up again, just in time to
see Cedric pull his dick out of Joey's mouth and finish his orgasm by
jerking his dick and coming right in Joey's face. Now my poor friend has
dried tears, smelly vomit and cum all over it. He was a mess.

"White boy, you sure don't last too long do you. I'll bet your wife never
does have a chance to get off before you do. Do you ever get her off?"

Joey started to say something, but Bubba shoved his cock into him extra
hard and said, "Shut up you, little pansy! Just `cause you ain't got no
dick to suck, don't mean you can talk."

By this time, Cedric had wiped himself off and had walked over to where I
was standing.  Looking down, her said, "Well look what little man has done,
he had such a good time sucking his lover off, he's grown a real hard on,
too bad it's not man-sized. Say, little man, you want to let your lover
suck you off, I've got his mouth real good and stretched out for you."

I took my cue and walked around to Joey's head, loosed the strap to lower
his head to mouth fucking level and with an apologetic look, put my dick
into his mouth. He clamped down on me and put his tongue to work big
time. Even though he had just come, he seemed to be into the whole idea of
sucking my dick. I was really into the idea of getting off.

"Now when you come, little man, don't be wasting it on his mouth, you pull
out and jerk off in his face just like I did."  Cedric instructed.

Maybe it was the chemicals in the orange juice, or maybe it was the
circumstances, but in only a few strokes in and out of Joey's mouth, I
could tell that I was about to come.  My breath was coming in short gasps
and I was shoving my dick into his mouth even when he was being pulled
toward Bubba. I was straining. I wanted to come so bad, more than I ever
had before, it seemed. Just as I was about to spurt, I pulled out and let
it shoot all over Joey's face. There was so much cum on his face that it,
too, started to run down into his ears and drip onto the floor.

"Not a bad load, little man," Bubba said with a wink. To Joey he said, "Now
you be sure to lick him clean, white boy, just like he did you." I offered
Joey my dick and he licked as much of my shaft as he could, concentrating
on sucking the last drops out of me.

I had suspected before that the "orange juice" must have had some form of
Viagra in it, because we both were getting intense hard on's and we seemed
to recover quickly, but even so, I was amazed to see that Joey's cock was
getting harder by the minute as he sucked on me.

"You got another woody, white boy?" Bubba said, "Damn, all this dick in
your ass sure is making a horny little white boy out of you. What you
reckon we should do about that, do you want your sweetie to suck you off
again? "

As I've said before, after I come, I'm ready to do anything but have more
sexual contact, but I could see that in spite of what I wanted to do, I was
going to suck Joey's cock again.

Cedric was at my side nudging me towards Joey's cock, and stroking his own
massive hard dick, too. Putting his hand on the back of my head, he pushed
me down until I was nose to head with his cock. I reluctantly opened my
mouth and let his hard cock slide into my waiting mouth.

As I bent over to suck Joey, I felt Cedric's hands on my butt cheeks,
spreading them with his thumbs. Then he pulled my butt plug out.

 Without looking, I knew what was coming so I wasn't surprised when I felt
the head of that big tool of his right at the entry point to my bowels. To
make it easier for both of us, I pushed out a little and he slipped right
in. I had expected massive pain, but was surprised at how good it felt to
have a warm living dick in my ass instead of all those hard, artificial
dildos I had been getting ever since we had arrived in this "laboratory." I
guess all that stretching of my asshole by the dildos was what made it so
easy for me to take this massive tool so easily, but it felt great. I
leaned back into it and wiggled a little to try to get the deepest
penetration possible.

"Now that's what I like," Cedric said, "A tight willing ass."

So now I was getting fucked and sucking Joey all at the same time. I
understood how it felt for Joey, except I was bending over instead of lying
on my back swinging back and forth. It was a great feeling, nonetheless.
That was really a surprise because I had just come and usually, no matter
how horny I am, I would be revolted at participating in any sort of sex act
this soon after coming.

Bubba was humping Joey a little now and not swinging him so much. Cedric
was shoving his whole tool in me and I was gasping at the incredibly good
vibes that were surging through my body. I didn't have to look to tell that
I was getting a boner again. Joey's dick was starting to twitch in my mouth
as his string grew larger and his whole cock became more rigid.

Cedric said, "Since you've been such a good boy, little man, and since you
have such a tight willing ass, you can go ahead and swallow your lover's
cum this time."

It was a good thing he said that when he did, because no sooner than he had
finished, Joey was shooting off in my mouth. It wasn't a big load, but I
still got a taste of his salty, tangy love juice. For some strange reason,
it tasted great. I felt wonderful at having pleased Joey twice in such a
short time. I was literally standing by my man.

Cedric was starting to quiver with each stroke, and then I could tell he
was coming right there in my ass. Bare back. I thought I could feel his hot
semen in me, but I wasn't sure.

"Now that was right nice, little man, " he said as he gave me a pat on my
back. " Looks like you took good care of white boy, too."

My attention turned to Bubba. He was covered with sweat, and was grunting
loudly with each stroke. All of a sudden, he froze, his cock buried hilt
deep in Joey. He grunted twice and then pulled his cock out of Joey's ass
and shot one, two, three, four loads onto Joey stomach and cock. As the
last drops were rising to the top of his slit, he took the string of the
lariat he had tied around Joey's bass, and pulled them up so that he could
wipe his cock on his balls.

"Now get down there and lick his balls off, little man, I left you a taste
of my cum there."

I dropped to my knees and licked his balls, getting a taste that was
different but still pleasant in my mouth.

"Ah, that was good, now I'm ready for bed.  Don't you doing anything
disobedient any more tonight, okay white boy? I'm too tired to beat your
ass again. You too little man."

He reached over to the table beside him and picked up a butt plug that was
larger than the one Joey had had before and, lubricating it, popped it back
in his ass. Cedric came over to me with my same butt plug in his hand and
said, "Bend over."

He pushed the freshly lubricated butt plug into me and told me to go sit by
the wall where I had been shackled earlier this evening before the
punishment. He shackled me there and then both he and Bubba turned to
leave.

"Hey, " Joey shouted, "aren't you going to let me down?"

Bubba stopped, turned slowly, walking deliberately back and all the time
saying, "Um um ummm. You sure don't learn quick do you white boy?"

He bent over near Joey's cum and vomit covered face and said, "I ought to
paddle your ass some more, but I'm too lazy to go to the trouble." Then he
slapped Joey's face hard and shouted right in his ear, "You'll get out of
that chair when I am good and fucking ready to let you out!" The he slapped
him repeatedly using only one hand.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes sir, Mr.  Bubba," Joey said, and that was all.

After they had left and we were sure they were gone, Joey let out a long
groan.

"Are you all right? I asked.

"Well as all right as I can be with a butt that's beaten bloody, an ass
that's been fucked by the biggest dick known to mankind, and all this mess
all over me."

"You're butt's not bloody, just real red, although it does look like it is
starting to swell some." I said trying to make him feel better.

 "Well it damn well ought to swell some, after the beating that ni ... er
Bubba applied to it. I'll tell you this, when we get out of here, I am
going to track Carnassi down and sue his ass for everything he has ever
owned. And I might even get Hal, our private investigator to work Bubba
over a little. "

I sounded a lot like big talk now that the bully was gone. I was sure he
could concoct a hell of a lawsuit; I just wasn't sure he wanted to go into
court and prove the damages and explain how he came to be in the position
to get his ass paddled until it swelled up.

I started to tell him some of that when the door burst open and Bubba
entered and said, "White boy, you really are a slow learner. He opened the
cabinet by the wall, pulled out a shelf that had one of those TV sets with
the built in video player and popped in a cassette, and hit play.  "Watch
this, and tell me if you would like to have this in court or on the
Internet or made available to your wife and everyone at your office."

Then Bubba took out the paddle, and jacking Joey's bun up in the air, he
began a methodical paddling, not too hard, just steady. It was only a few
of whacks before Joey was screaming again.

"You gonna sue me or Dr. Carnassi?" Bubba shouted.

"No!" Joey said between sobs.

"You like this don't you white boy?" Bubba asked. He seemed to nod at
Cedric who was standing at the door. Cedric disappeared from my view and
suddenly, the video screen went blank. When that happened, Bubba went to
work in earnest.

"Tell me how much you like it when I paddle you, white boy"

"Whack!" went the paddle.  Whack!" Whack!"

"Oh, yes, I love it. I love it when you paddle me." Joey screamed.

You want me to do it some more, don't you?"

"No!!!" Joey screamed.

Whack!"

"Oh, yes you do, white boy, and now beg me to paddle you some more."
Whack!  Whack!  Whack!

Joey had lost it again, he was ready to do or say anything to keep the
paddle off his ass, so he said what he was being told to say, "Oh, please
Mr. Bubba, please hit me with the paddle again. I'm so sorry I was
disobedient. Please paddle me some more."

Whack!  Whack!

Is that good? Do you like it white boy."

"Oh, yes, I love it. Please don't stop."

I was amazed to see that Joey actually had an erection again. Maybe he was
getting into enjoying pain. I doubted it, but these were extreme
conditions. It was obvious to me that they were taping this, too and when
it was all edited, Joey would have no case at all.

Abruptly, Bubba stopped. Turned and walked out of the room. The video came
back on and we sat there watching the events of the previous hour replayed
right before our eyes.  When we got to the part where I sucked Joey off
twice, I started to get aroused again! It looked so sexy seeing me bending
over Joey sucking his dick while Cedric plowed my ass.

After a while, the tape went blank and then stopped. Sometime after that,
Bubba came back in, hooked up the garden hose and began to spray Joey off,
he even turned the water full force on his face until all the cum and vomit
was gone.

Then he and Cedric unfastened our bonds and we were led back to the bedroom
and locked in.

I turned to Joey and said, "You should assume that everything we say or do
is heard and observed. You should also know, if you already don't, that
every second of your begging Bubba to hit you with the paddle was recorded
and will become a part of their permanent video record. You will not have a
chance of a suit against them unless you want all of that public. I can see
it now on eBay, getting hundreds of dollars per copy. Because I am in that
video, you had better not even think about letting it become public.

Then I said good night, got in bed and pulled the covers over me preparing
to go to sleep.

Joey got in bed and snuggled up beside me and began to cry, saying, "Don't
leave me, I'll be all alone here if you shut me out.

Please don't leave me!!" he screamed. He was hysterical even though I was
trying to calm him with soothing strokes on his face, a few calm words, and
holding him tightly to me.



"Please. I'll never do anything to make them go public with that tape."

I was furious at him, he had gotten us into this, but I couldn't help but
feel sorry for him, beaten butt, and all. I mean he was humiliated to the
point of being a blubbering fool.

I turned to him and patted him on the face, again and said, "Don't worry, I
won't leave you."

Those seemed to be the magic words.

"Oh thank you thank you," he whimpered, then grabbed my hand and kissed
it. He practically groveled.


"Good night" I said, and turned off the lights. Within a few minutes, Joey
was breathing deeply in a fitful sleep. Every few minutes he would twitch
or jump, but his sleep seemed to be uninterrupted.

It took me longer to doze off as I replayed the events of the evening in my
head.  What else could possibly be in store for us? Only the morning would
tell.
