======================================================================

64 Intelligence and perpicacity
-------------------------------

I handed the transcript to Chris.

"Intelligent and perspicacious, that's me," said Tim.

"Odious and smug child.  There's still a whipping to come, remember?"

"There is that, yes," he said, a bit subdued.

We wandered through to the patio, Chris still reading.  I made some
tea.

"So, Tim, you learnt a few things, then, when you were a kid, mm?"

She was brisk, businesslike.

"I guess so.  How to work out what people want.  How to get them to do
what you want, without them knowing.  How to play people off one
against another.  Things like that."

"Are those good things to know?"

"They're useful.  Especially if everyone else is stronger than you.
Especially if most of them are fairly stupid."

"Do you think knowing them makes you a better person?"

"Not really.  You could know them and be pretty nasty."

"Nasty in what way?"

"Mean, cruel, vicious.  Brutal.  What other ways are there to be nasty?"

"How about spiteful?  Gossipy?  Despising other people?  Getting
people to do things for you which you should do yourself?  Generally
treating people as if they didn't matter?  Stirring up trouble just
for the hell of it?"

"Yes, you could know those things and still be nasty in those ways."

"Do you think knowing those things makes you more likely to be nasty
in those ways?"

Tim stared at her.

"Yes," he said, very quietly.

"Do you think being like that would make a person popular?"

"No."  It was a very subdued Tim now.

"That was laying it on hard, Tim," said Chris.  "But you're bright
enough to cope.  But tell me.  If a person turned out nasty in those
ways, if they'd been abused, would you be surprised?"

"No, I wouldn't."

"So whose fault would it be, if that happened?"

"The person who'd abused them, I suppose."

"Right.  Actually, Tim, let me tell you something.  You aren't a nasty
person, not really.  You just think you are."

Tim started to cry quietly.

"You think you are, because so many people, like Charleen and your
abuser, what was his name?  Mike, yes, and those other people told you
you were, because you used your cleverness to defend yourself.  That's
not nasty, Tim, that's self-defence.  Everyone's allowed to do that.
But then they told the school, and it spread, and pretty soon, just a
bit, you start to act up to it.  Am I right?"

"Yes."

"So, what do we do now?"

"I don't know.  I'm disgusting, and it's hopeless."

"You aren't disgusting, Tim, you're funny, and open-hearted, and
generous, and brave.  Also, you really hate cruelty, especially to
helpless and weak people.  All those are good things.  Now, Tim,
you're intelligent.  I'm asking you to see that what you said is
wrong, and all those other people were wrong, and I am right.  Am I
right?"

"You must be.  But it's very difficult to feel it that way."

"So you must come and see me, lots of times, and we'll sort this out.
Okay?"

"Yes, ma'am."

He was smiling at her now, through his tears.  I blessed Chris with
all my heart.

"And what have you done already, to get things straight?"

"I became my Master's slave."

"Yes.  And he'll steer you, and guide you, and when the nasty bits
come out, he'll do something about it, will he?  Is that the idea?"

"Yes.  He's everything.  He's good and strong."

"But?"

"Sometimes, he's too nice, almost.  Sometimes he's, he's not really
strict.  When he should be.  Master, I..."

"Don't worry, Tim.  Say what's needed, okay?  That's an order."

"But Tim, he spent the morning torturing you."

"He's good at that.  He understands all that so well, ma'am, you
wouldn't believe how good he is at it.  It's outside all that, then he
can be almost too nice, he lets me get away with things."

"Like what?"

"Like - like that bug thing.  I knew it must be there.  I didn't look,
but it had to be.  I should have told him, but I didn't.  I thought,
well, I thought our conversations would be more impressive if he
didn't know.  It's like you said, ma'am, I get people to do things.  I
- I manipulate them. But he's my Master.  That was wrong."

"Tim!  Why, you devious little bastard!" I burst out.

They both laughed at me.

"So your Master's got to be a bit stricter with you, hasn't he?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, that's his lesson.  And when you come to see me, I'll set you
lessons, too.  And then two weeks from now, we'll all talk about how
the lessons have gone.  Okay?"

We agreed.


65 Sick and slimy
-----------------

"Now, Tim," she said.  "What did David get out of you this morning?
Tell me.  I can know, can I?"

So Tim told her.  She looked shaken.

"Tim, it's my job to be, well, a bit detached, a bit standoffish when
we're talking like this.  But I want you to know that I feel so sad
for that little boy.  Do you feel sad for him?"

"Yes.  I can now," and he was weeping.

"But before?"

"I tried not to think about it."

"That's not fair, is it?  Not fair to that little crying boy.  He was
only seven, Tim, that's not much more than a baby, is it?"

"No.  It was cruel."

"He needs you to comfort and cuddle him, that little boy, not tell him
to shut up.  Do you understand?"

"Yes, I do now.  But I was just wanting all that, all that whining to
go away..."

"And who is that speaking, Tim?  Who wanted the whining to stop, and
shouted 'Shut up, you whining brat' and stuff like that?  Who was
that?"

There was a long pause.

"Mike.  That was Mike."  He sighed.

"Yes.  How come you're doing what he did?"

The pause went on for a long, long time.  Chris waited patiently.

"I suppose he became part of me, in some ways.  Part of him was in
me."

"Yes.  That's how they work, you know?  They become part of you, and
that's how they manipulate you.  Did your Master help?"

"Oh yes, ma'am, he's helped so much!  In lots of ways, lots and lots.
Not just today, in the basement, other times, every time he fucks me,
and just being around him."

"That's good."  She looked straight at Tim, then hit him with it,
almost brutally.  "When Mike raped you, did you enjoy it?"

Tim screamed.  It was so abrupt, I jumped in my chair.

"NO!!  It was horrible, absolutely horrible!  I hated it, every
single time!"

"You can still enjoy things, with a part of you, even if they're
horrible.  Can't you?  Your body works in these ways, and that's it.
If you rub a man or a boy inside, rub their prostate, they get hard
and it feels nice, even if everything else is horrible.  That's just
the way a male person works."

Tim was weeping again.  Then, after a long pause:

"It's true, I did get hard.  Sometimes.  In fact it was more.  He
always beat me before he, he raped me, so I used to look forward to it
stopping.  But it was a sick feeling.  Sick and slimy."

"Yes.  Thank you, Tim, that can't be easy to say.  You're a brave boy,
do you know that?  Very brave."

"My Master helped me.  He made me talk.  I can talk because he made
me."

"Yes.  And what else did he show you?  I don't know this, he hasn't
told me, but I can guess."

Suddenly Tim smiled.

"He's fucked me four times, now.  Each time was lovely.  He's never
hurt me doing that, not really.  And each time I came.  Just from him
fucking me.  And he was so lovely, always making me feel good, always
caring how I felt."

"So how does that compare to the feelings you got when Mike raped
you?"

There was a pause while this sank in.

"Oh god!  It's - it's just not in the same world.  Just - just, well,
nothing!  No comparison at all."

"See?  You gave Mike nothing, except what he stole.  You gave your
Master everything."

"It's true!  Everything."  He looked at me.  "I give you everything."

I grasped his hand.

"Well, look, Tim, we'll have to talk some more about all this, because
it's very deep, it needs working out.  Not just as you think, but as
you feel.  But it's clear to me that although Mike wanted to harm you,
he hasn't really succeeded much.  In the end, you and your Master are
far, far stronger.  And so much for him."

She made a dismissive gesture.

"Surgery over.  For today."

I looked at her.  She was a revelation.

"Hey," she said, breaking the mood, "Is it really true that Tim comes
every time you guys fuck?  Just from the fucking?"

We laughed, Tim almost hysterically.

"Every time," I said.  "Reliable as clockwork."

"Well, shit.  Some people have all the luck."


66 Punishment detail
--------------------

I showed her to her car.

"Chris, I can't thank you enough."

"Oh, that was just the beginning.  Marking out the territory.  All
very unorthodox, of course, but who cares.  There's lots more work to
do, but don't worry, okay David?  There's nothing that can't be
sorted.  And please, he's not a bird with a broken wing, okay?  Get on
with it, for pete's sake."

She drove off.

When I came back, Tim was standing.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Yes.  Well, I will accept your apology, but there must be some
punishment."

I was determined to carry this through, now.  He winced.

"Are you - are you going to beat me?"

"Beat you?  God, no.  In this household, beating is for fun.  Nothing
like that."

He smiled.

"No.  Go and tidy the dungeon, it's a mess.  Put all the clips into
the box marked FOR AUTOCLAVE, and be careful with them, okay?  Then go
and tidy your room, that's a mess, too.  Then you can hoover this
carpet and dust down the furniture, and clean the patio door windows,
they're filthy.  After that, I'll introduce you to the lawnmower.  And
take your clothes off first."

He gave me an ironic smile, but obeyed.  I read a book and watched him
working.  He didn't seem too disheartened.  I showed him the
lawnmower, how to start it and run it.  It was delightful to watch
him, naked, wrenching it round the corners.  I hadn't forgotten that
he must still be aching from the rack, and it couldn't be easy, but
he still got into it.  He worked hard.  I was impressed.

Finally, he came back to me, grinning.

"All finished, sir."

"Very good, slave.  In that case, I accept your apology.  Do not
attempt to manipulate me again."

"No, sir."

I kissed him.  His response was frantic, desperate, and I held him for
a long time.  Over his shoulder I could see the sun setting.  For a
moment it gave me _Exchange and Balance_.  I was satisfied.

"Okay, kid.  Go and put some clothes on and come and help me with the
supper."

He went and came back happily, and we set to work.

"Chris was really brilliant, wasn't she?  I was expecting her just to
stroke my hand and say 'poor dear', but she didn't at all.  She just
went in there."

"Yup.  It was quite a shock to me, too, I've never seen her at work
before.  But of course, she's a professional.  I suppose it's like a
surgeon, really, you have to cut to cure."

"Will you ring up and make some appointments for me tomorrow?  I need
some more of that."

"Do it yourself.  She may want to speak to you about it.  By the way, in
treatment you can't be forever referring tbings to me.  This is between
you and her, she's your therapist.  Take it that I want you to answer
all her questions, to say what's needed and to work hard at this, okay?"

"Check."

"Come on, let's eat."

We ate in silence for a while.  I gazed in awe at Tim's voraciousness.
We would need to shop again soon.


67 Another introduction
-----------------------

"Okay, Tim, how do you feel?"

"Not bad.  My joints don't hurt any more.  I liked the lawnmowing,
sorry, but I did, and it seemed to tighten things up somehow.  I feel
fine, actually."

"That's good.  Because I'm going to beat you now."

"Oh, god.  Oh, David, I'm - I'm absolutely terrified of this one.
Really."

I held his hand.  He was quivering like a frightened dog.  But we had
to do this.  It was getting in the way.

"Tim.  It will be all right.  Trust me on this.  I'm going to insist,
Tim, because I want you through this one.  Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay.  Go and change into a swimsuit.  We won't be going downstairs."

This calmed him a bit.  I closed all the curtains, then went
downstairs, put the tools I might need in a box, so as not to scare
him, and brought them back up.

He was standing in the middle of the room, wearing the swimsuit he had
on the very first day.  He was not looking happy.  I tried a smile,
but he couldn't manage it.  I went over and kissed him, and he started
to cry.

"Who am I, Tim?"

"David, my Master."

"Have I ever done anything bad for you?"

"Never, absolutely never."

"Then trust me."

He gave me a watery smile.  I sat in an upright chair.

"Strip."

He obeyed.  He was completely soft.

"Come and lie over my knees.  Hands above your head."

He looked at me in surprise.  He hadn't anticipated this, but he
obeyed.

He was stretched over my lap.  He had conquered one fear.  I was as
hard as I could be.  His exquisite arse cheeks, tanned, were before
me, waiting.

I began to spank him, gently, scarcely more than pats, alternating one
cheek and the other, quite slowly.  I put a hand under him and felt
him.  He was still soft, but as I gently felt him, he began to rise.
I speeded up a little, and then some more, and then started to
increase the power, slowly, slowly.  He was still hard, and I was
slowly, gently, jerking him, and my blows grew harder and harder.

Ten minutes.  Now the slaps were loud, stinging, firm.  I was moving
all over his cheeks now, they were red, almost shining, and he was
started to moan as I jerked him, faster and faster.

Fifteen minutes, and he was crying out, tears in his eyes.  Soon I was
spanking him almost as hard as I could, it was hurting me, and I could
feel his precum soaking me, my hand slipping over him demanding,
insisting, and he was bucking and yelling.

Then he tensed hard and came, spurting into my hand, as I continued
the blows with all the strength of my arm.  He screamed and screamed,
rigid as a board over my lap.

I stopped, and he was onto me, hugging and kissing like a maniac.

"So," I said as he finally relaxed in my arms, "Was that so terrible?"

He was sitting on my lap, facing me, his legs round my sides.

"You know," he said with a cheshire cat smile.  "You know."

I licked the tears from his face.  I love moments like this.

"Now do you trust me a bit more?"

"I always trust you.  It's me I don't trust."

I stroked his back.  He purred.  We cuddled for ten minutes, saying
very little.


68 Primal scene
---------------

"Is that all?"  His face, inches from mine, was inscrutable.  I was
looking into the green of his eyes, cool, elvish.  In the back of my
mind, _Blood and Pain_ was beginning to glow, beginning to spin again,
and this time I welcomed it.

"All?  No, kid, you've got a lot more to give me yet."

I put him on his feet.

"Come over here," I said.

"Yes, sir."

I led the way to the Chair.

"This should really be done on the cross," I said, "But I don't think
it would be fair to hang you on that tonight.  So we'll use this."

His smile was silky as he climbed up.  He stretched out his arms and
legs, and I strapped him in.  He gave a voluptuous sigh, and relaxed.
I realised that he was now deeply, deeply into this, almost away by
himself, and all I needed to worry about was giving him what he
wanted.

I stripped myself, then.  Some things you cannot do, except naked.

"Tim," I said quietly, "I'm going to whip you now."

The one I used had a single strand, broad, very light.  It would
scarcely hurt at all.  I moved slowly up from his stomach to his
chest, and flicked his nipples with it.  He moved, as if relaxing into
an eiderdown, and moaned gently.  I worked my way down, down, till I
reached his stone-hard dick and balls, and worked them a little, and
he gave a series of in-drawn hisses.  He was looking at me now.

"Don't be frightened, sir," he said quietly.  "I'm okay.  You can do
more than that."

I switched to a scourge of many broad tails, but still light, and
worked him up and down, down his legs, and lightly on his dick and
balls.  I worked for a long time, getting harder and harder.  He began
to give more and more moans, moving his head, still looking at me, as
I built up, harder and harder.

Then I switched again.  This one had many tails, but heavier.  As I
worked him, he began a high, continuous cry, almost a wail.  For a while
I continued, building up gradually, but striking slowly, deliberately.
His eyes were staring at me, but he was away, far away.  He was
dribbling precum massively, and it flicked in the lamplight as his body
jerked.

I couldn't switch again, not this time.  The whole of his body was red
now, from shoulders to knees, and he was running with sweat, his face
contorted and twitching.  For a moment I hesitated.

Suddenly he stared at me and growled: "Don't stop!  Hit me, dammit!
Hit me!"

So I went on.  I worked his stomach, the flesh of his thighs, and more
lightly his chest, striking faster now, harder.  I was sweating too, the
light was glinting off both our bodies, we were joined by the effort.  I
was so hard, it hurt.  This was the hottest scene I had ever done, the
slightness of his body and the pain were intoxicating me.

The moans were loader and louder, and I saw that he was about to come,
unbelievably, come under the whip.  I took a deep breath and prayed.

"Come now, Tim, come for me now!  Come!  That is an order!"

I struck twice, hard.  He shrieked.  I did it again.  He gave a long,
long scream, and then he came.  So did I.

I released him and carried him to my bed.  He was moaning, crying out,
to himself, or me, or god, I don't know.

"Oh god, oh god, oh heaven, lovely, lovely, oh god, oh god..."

I lay behind him, holding him, stroking his hair and kissing his face
and neck.

"Oh David, David, oh fuck me please, please fuck me..."

I was ready again.  I thrust into him, my dick still slippery with my
own come.  He was as tight as a vice, and boiling hot, and I forced
through his resistance, deep into him.  He gave another shriek and
began to surge against me, jerking and pressing, wailing and moaning.
In no time at all, it seemed, we were both coming again, wildly, both
screaming.

And then at last he began to relax.  I held him, not too tight;  he
was going to be very, very sore.  I had taken him far beyond where I
had intended, and now it was over, I felt a little ashamed.

I needn't have bothered.

He turned over to face me.  Our hands were together, our faces close,
intimate.

"So that's whipping," he whispered.

"Yes.  That was it.  Still frightened?"

"Oh David.  I never guessed - I never guessed - I had no idea what it
was like."

"Still worried by Mike and his belt?"

He started to laugh.  He laughed and laughed;  not hysterically, a
good laugh, full of amusement and fun.

"What a thought.  That poor fool.  If he'd only known.  That was
twenty times harder than he ever did, and there I was, loving it..."

He was still giggling as I drifted off to sleep.


69 And then
-----------

I was awoken by the sun on my face.  I stumbled out of bed, made a cup
of coffee, and brought Tim one.

"Hello," he said, as his eyes opened.  He was smiling.

I offered a small prayer of thanks.

"How do you feel?"

He sat up.  He was red from his shoulders down, and in a few places
bruises were starting to show.  He'd look pretty dramatic in a few
hours.

"Wow," he said, looking down at himself.  "Better wear some clothes
today."

I looked at him carefully.

"Make sure to tell me if there are any problems today," I said.  "You
look okay, but there's a doctor we can see if we have to."

"A doctor?  Wouldn't he..."

"No, no, he's cool.  Come on, let's get up."

We showered together.  I washed him gently, all down his front, round
his legs, everywhere I had struck.  He was very brave.

Then we were sitting at breakfast.  The day was hot again, and I opened
the doors to the patio, to let in the air and the song of the birds.

A quiet day, that was the plan.

"Well," he said, "Was I okay?  Will I do?"

He laughed at me, an exultant, wild sound.

"Tim, you were marvellous.  We went far, far further than I had planned.
And I never dreamt you would actually come like that.  That was so
lovely."

"You should have been me.  By the end I scarcely knew where I was.
The pain just seemed to fade away, it became an incredible feeling, as
if I was coming all over my body, and it got more and more and more
intense, and when I came, I just thought I would explode and die.  Is
it always like that?"

"Only for people like you, love, only for you."

He smiled at me, secretly, utterly happy.

"When can we do it again?"

I laughed.  Behind him, _The Good Regard_ was looking at us, and I
thought I could feel a smile.

"Not for a while.  Just look at you!  If I did it again now, I could cut
you.  No, we'll have to find other things to keep you busy.  But don't
worry.  I have - various things in mind."

He got up to look out of the doors.  I could hear the thrush
challenging the world, and the ducks squabbling in the lake.

"I've got it all, now," he said.  "Fucking, whipping.  Life, love,
everything.  I've got it all back.  There's nothing left of what he
did, nothing at all.  We've won."

His hair was pale, pale straw in the sun.  His eyes were green under
his long lashes.  His face, young, boyish, was turned towards me, as
one foot slightly ahead, he turned into the morning.

He was my boy, my slave, my lover, my companion, my friend, my life.

And he still is.


END.

-

A friend asked me, and what happened then?

Well, they found Tim a place in a college nearby, and he moved to stay
with David.  He got his A levels, went to University.  Now he's a
political scientist.  They say he'll get his professorship before he's
thirty.  And still they wake up together every morning.

David still writes books.  The critics say they're rubbish, but they
sell by the million.  He's become insanely rich.

Mira remarried.  Tim was her witness.  It was a fine day.

Tim and David do some work for Anthony and his people.  It doesn't
make the headlines, it doesn't pay the rent.  But it pays their dues
in more important ways.  They don't forget.

As for me, Jack?  Well, I've never been into teenagers, really.  Okay,
some of them are cute, but there's a barrier, and that's the way it
should be. The people who have made our laws and conventions in these
things, they aren't fools;  some things, some areas, are better left
alone.

But now that this story is finished, and Tim and David begin to recede
into the background of my life, I can't help being just a little bit
in love with both of them.  I hope they do well.

Jack

======================================================================

A few notes in answer to questions
----------------------------------

I added these notes to go with this posting, to answer some of the
questions people have sent me.  Many thanks to everyone who has
written.

More of Tim and David?  Not really.  I think I'll leave them to get on
with their lives.  But there may be more stories about their group,
and Tim and David and some of the others may appear as minor
characters.

Where does it happen?  In southern England.  I can't be more precise.

Is it autobiographical?  No.

Am I a Master?  No.  It's important to say this:  I have no real
experience of BDSM at all.  Some people have been kind enough to say
that I represent that life well and positively.  If so, I'm honoured
and gratified, but I make no claims of great insight into these
things.  This story is fiction.  I have no desire to join the ranks of
the BDSM wannabee gurus.  Please, and this is important:  don't do
anything I say just because I said it.  Find someone who really knows.

Who are Martin and Peter in the real world?  Dunno.  Important people.

Is this the same version I posted to assgm?  More-or-less, yes.  Some
typos have been corrected and a few other small changes have been
made.

What about these mandalas?  I made them up.  I imagined this group of
people who use mandalas to get in touch with the spiritual side of
things, the Kindly Powers, as they say.  I can't draw, so I haven't
tried to draw the mandalas.  Think of them as round designs which make
you feel slightly odd when you look at them.  The version of _The Good
Regard_ in David's house is about a metre square.  Since some people
were interested, here's a list of those that appear in the story, with
some indication of the significance that David's people attach to
them, from the notes I made when I was writing it.

The Good Regard of the Kindly Powers (also called _Good Regard_, _The
Lady_ or _The Queen_): Happiness, good times, hearth and home,
hospitality, nurturing, kindness; also death.  Hung in living rooms,
etc, as a blessing.  Placed on the breasts of dead people.
Principally yellow, russet, orange, green

Accidental Blessings: acceptance, inevitability, creativity, happy
surprises, childbirth, falling in love; also unexpected disaster

Harvest Time (also called _The Blessed_): success after long work,
happiness after long pain, mourning, the end of journeys; also bad
results of misdeeds and omissions.  Principally yellow and other
harvest colours

Exact Endeavour: Skill, attention to detail, exertion, judgment,
music, cleanness, using all ones abilities; also fanaticism,
overbearing pride, loss of love.  Principally different blues and
white

Lurid Desires (also called _The Mad Dance_): wildness, lack of
restraint, sex, drugs, alcohol (especially wine), creative ecstasy,
carnivorous animals; also hatred, violence, war.  Principally yellow
and scarlet

Wise Doubt: care, suspicion, canniness, street smarts, preparing for
problems, doctors and medicine, premonitions; also paranoia, cynicism.
Dark colours

Deep Undertakings (also called _Setting Forth_): starting important
task or journey, duty, civic duties, oaths, intention, ambitions; also
plotting, conspiracy, deceit

Just Revenge: justice, retribution, self-respect, fairness, mercy;
also self-righteousness, hypocrisy, priggishness, disproportionate
anger

Blood and Pain (also called _The Lord_): agony, suffering, self-
sacrifice, redemption, crisis, turning point; also disease, madness
Principally reds and black, looks like a wheel with a rim.  Hung in
dungeons, etc

Exchange and Balance: apology, recompense, forgiveness, fair dealing,
fair trade, legality, traditions; also stuffy respectability,
bureaucracy, meanness

======================================================================
And finally:  After getting this out again to prepare it for this
posting, I find I'm still just as much in love with Tim and David as
before.  Good luck, my friends.

Jack.
