Chapter 13:


Slave auction days at the "House of Malik" are always frenetic and cause
Malik much concern; the principal one being the slaves who are to be sold.

Without doubt, there is no surlier creature than a slave who knows he is
scheduled to mount the auction block within a few hours. He can be more
difficult and obstinate than even the most cantankerous, flea ridden,
desert caravan camel that must be whipped by his handler to get it to its
feet.

And so it is with the slaves! They have to beaten into obedience and
although Malik doesn't like to see his slaves heavily marked as they step
up onto the block, he nevertheless accepts the odd stripe or two on a
slave's naked ass or shoulders as inevitable - and in some ways even
desirable.

Long experienced in successfully marketing his livestock - and there is no
more successful slave-trader than Malik - has demonstrated to him that the
buyer is quite prepared to accept the odd superficial stripe of the cane or
the strap on a slave's body as he inspects the merchandize.  Indeed,
Malik's keen observation over many years has convinced him that a buyer
likes to see a slave so marked.  At times too numerous for him to recall,
Malik has watched as a buyer used a fingertip to almost lovingly trace
along a welt raised by a cane or a strap in what resembles a gentle caress.
Perhaps, at these times, the would-be buyer is fantasizing about adding his
own marks to the slave's body.

Malik does understand this position and has some sympathy with it. He
personally believes a few punishment marks enhance a slave's appearance
when being shown to a prospective buyer. What better way of demonstrating
to the buyer that the slave is property to be used, abused and punished at
his owner's discretion than to see the results of previous chastisements.

Why, only the day before yesterday, he'd looked down on his friend, Anwar's
new slave as he crouched at the feet of Prince Omar. Of necessity, the
slave, Matthew, had felt the cane and the quirt as he was put through his
paces before the prince and, earlier in the day, when he'd been presented
to the African father and son who'd shown so much interest in him and the
Irish slave with the unusual name of Finbar.

As the slave knelt with his striped ass pointing to the heavens, Prince
Omar couldn't contain himself. He leant forward in his chair - to the
consternation of his two body slaves who worried that his overburdened body
could topple forward - and leered at the slave. The old lecher had
salivated at the sight of the slave's naked ass and he'd licked his lips
lasciviously as he contemplated brutally beating it with one of his
ornately carved, wooden paddles.

Rumours are whispered about Prince Omar's impotence and his infamous, black
proxy, Gansu who always stands in his place after Prince Omar has
sadistically beaten the slave. He is the butt of many crude and lewd jokes
but only a fool would peddle these publicly and those who do are dealt with
harshly. After all, Maluchistan is an absolute monarchy and any disrespect
to the reigning king or members of his family are viewed as treasonable and
harshly punished.  Forget that and you pay the price for your carelessness.

And so, while Malik is well aware of Prince Omar's "deficiency" - after
all, he has seen it fail to manifest itself many times as the prince
examines a potential purchase - he wisely keeps a still tongue in his head
least it be plucked out as has happened to those foolish enough to give
voice to the rumours.

There is much to be done to prepare the slaves and make them ready for the
viewing area. Indeed preparations for today's showing and auction began
yesterday when the slaves were fed early in the morning and given a
purgative to empty their bowels. After that, they received no more solids
and were given only water to drink.

Malik is most fastidious in this. One thing he abhors is the possibility of
a nervous slave voiding his bowels on the viewing platform. No, it's far
better that the slave abstain from eating, even if he does suffer hunger
pangs, rather than to disgrace himself in front of Malik's esteemed
clients.

The rest of yesterday was spent preparing the slaves for today's public
viewings. The slave-handlers worked tirelessly to crop heads, smooth shave
bodies, pare and buff finger and toe nails and to enhance the slaves'
overall appearances and thus their marketability. After they'd finished,
Malik minutely inspected the slaves. He is very "hands-on" and leaves
nothing to chance. Each slave was inspected individually to see there were
no stray hairs to mar the smoothness of his nude body. Really, nothing
detracts from a slave's overall appearance as much as a stray hair under
the arms or in the ass-crack.

Then each slave was fitted with a special, made-to-order, stainless steel
collar and matching cock ring; each artistically engraved with the logo
"House of Malik" in delicate, cursive lettering. Although the collars and
cock rings are expensive - these are especially made for him by a skilled,
metal working artisan in the Souq - Malik considers the prime quality of
his merchandize merits this goodwill gesture to his esteemed clients. And
the collars and rings do enhance the slaves as they stand on the viewing
platform and later as they step up on to the auction-block. Malik considers
that the collars emphasize a slave's abject servitude while the cock rings
re-enforce his absolute slavery to the buyers.

When Malik was completely satisfied with their appearance, each slave's
body was given a light coating of display oil to enhance his physique and
to highlight his musculature. Then the slaves were returned to their pens
to rest for the morrow, their public displaying and finally the auction.

Malik is personally supervising all aspects of today's operations and there
is much to be done. As is customary on sale-days, he is liverish and
bad-tempered and his household slaves bear the brunt of his bad humour.
The wretched slaves have come to dread sale days as much as Malik looks
forward to them. For Malik there is the chance of ingratiating himself with
his wealthy clients and the prospect of much profit to be made by day's
end.

However, for his household slaves, they must abjectly endure his verbal and
physical abuse.  Malik will flail about him with a cane of a short leather
whip - whichever is at hand - and woe betide any unfortunate slave who
incurs his wrath.

Today, the apprehensive house slaves are busy in the viewing area set aside
for the purchasers and laying out refreshments for them to enjoy as they
peruse the animals on display or debate among themselves the merits of a
particular slave.

Malik is a traditionalist and eschews the modern practise of displaying his
livestock in showrooms that glitter and shine with chrome and gilt.  He is
well aware that some of his competitors have gone to great expense to do so
and he is sometimes urged by his friends to keep pace and modernize his
establishment. However, he has resisted all such urgings and maintains the
status quo.

The "House of Malik" has stood virtually unchanged in the same location for
several centuries and to Malik's thinking it has admirably stood the test
of time. It's true that his establishment reflects its medieval origins and
lacks the glamour and sparkle of the newer slave emporiums to be found in
the more salubrious areas of the city. But the "House of Malik" has things
they seriously lack and these are "gravitas and atmosphere" with which his
family's slave-trading has imbued it. One has only to walk through the
solid wooden gates opening from the street into the courtyard of his
premises and immediately you feel the difference between Malik's
traditional slave-market and his newer competitors' faux slave emporiums.

Here, at the "House of Malik", the very ambience lends itself to the
successful display and marketing of slaves; it suggests to the visitor that
this is, in every sense, a real slave-market.  The venerable walls of the
courtyards have re-echoed with the sad whisperings and entreaties to be set
free; the ancient, clay bricks have reverberated with the sound of leather
striking naked flesh and of the anguished cries of the countless, suffering
slaves who have passed through over the centuries.

The walls of the slave pens are covered with the names of those luckless
victims who have recorded their names there in the vain hope that someone
will eventually find them. More poignant are the sad messages of those who
have abandoned hope and recorded their last goodbyes to family and loved
ones.  All who have passed through these pens have left something of their
essence behind in their fear induced sweating as they waited for their turn
on the auction-block. The cobblestone floors have been worn shining-smooth
by the shuffling of their shackled, naked feet moving under the overseers'
whips from the pens to the display podiums and ultimately up onto the
auction-block.

And today is market day! Malik has thirty-one prime, male slaves chained to
the viewing podium and soon the first of his esteemed clients will be
arriving to inspect them and hopefully to bid for them.  On auction days,
Malik usually offers thirty slaves for sale; over the years he has found
this to be the optimum number to work with. Today however, that number has
increased to thirty-one; the additional slave being Anwar's new slave,
Matthew. Malik does this as a special favour to his old friend who is
anxious that his slave be sold before he returns to London tomorrow.

Today's offering has much to commend itself to the discerning buyer. The
slaves, as Malik has noted, are a superb collection ranging through the
whole spectrum of hair colouring. There are flaxen haired beauties from the
Slavic regions, tow-haired blonds from Northern Europe and the decadent
West and olive skinned slaves with the blackest of black hair from the
Mediterranean area. Why, there is even one with smooth, milky white skin
and flaming red hair. Of course, slaves such as this aren't suited to
outdoor labour as the sun speckles their hides with unsightly
blemishes. Such slaves are suited only to the bedchamber or to serve in the
household. Nevertheless, the red-haired slave will attract strong bidding
as he stands on the auction-block.

The slaves range in age from a mere stripling of some seventeen or eighteen
years through to those aged in their mid -twenties.  Malik considers this
age range to be the optimum one and he considers any slave over twenty-five
as "mature" and not offering the buyer good value for money.

Malik has a few minutes to spare and is inspecting the slaves shackled into
position on the viewing platform. The slaves' oiled torsos glisten
sensually in the diffused sunlight filtering down through the stout
timbered rafters and the walls and arches of the ancient courtyard provide
an evocative backdrop to their naked forms. Mostly the slaves stand
placidly as they await the arrival of the buyers but boredom causes them to
fidget and rattle their chains. Their movements accentuate their superb
physiques and bring into play the rippling and flexing of their hard,
well-defined muscles. Altogether, the slaves make a most agreeable sight
and Malik is well pleased with today's offerings.

And like cattle chewing the cud, the slaves munch on sprigs of freshly
picked mint to sweeten their breath as the buyers examine the soundness of
their teeth and the health of their tongues.

Each slave has his lot number painted onto the podium at his feet and,
additionally, it is marked on his right pectoral and left flank. That way
the slave's lot number is always visible to the buyer no matter at what
angle the slave is viewed.

As Malik walks slowly along the line of slaves he is gratified. Today's
offering includes Mustapha's six waiters and Anwar's new slave. And
additionally, there is his Spanish slave, Miguel whom he has decided to
sell.

In a way, he regrets parting with Miguel who has served him well as both a
house slave and a bed-buck.  He was always a delight to fuck with his
tight, eager hole and unceasing willingness to please.  Malik hasn't any
complaints about Miguel's abilities to serve but the slave is at the peak
of condition and after a year's slavery, he is ready to sell. Malik knows
from experience that Miguel will sell well and return him a handsome
profit.  And he knows Miguel will more than please the most discerning of
new masters.

Malik stands in front of Miguel who is offered for sale as lot 14 and
surveys him for one last time. The slave stands with his legs apart - which
displays his generous genitalia to perfection - his muscular body held
erect and his head bowed in humility. Of course, he is buck naked and
without his customary loincloth which is as it should be.  Like all animals
offered for sale, slaves should be displayed "au naturel" and with nothing
hidden from the prospective buyers. His clients expect no less!

However, Malik has a preference to clothe his house-slaves in minimalist
loincloths. It's not that he is prudish nor is it done for any moralistic
reasons. Indeed, Malik enjoys looking upon the naked bodies of his
slaves. But he is of the opinion that loincloths lend an air of mystery to
a slave. A small cloth covering a slave's ass and genitals whets the
appetite and inflames the imagination. One can salivate most erotically at
what lies hidden behind those small scraps of flimsy material.

Standing next in line to Miguel is lot 15, Anwar's golden-haired slave,
Matthew.  Both slaves are opposites of one another; Miguel's olive
complexion and black hair show his Mediterranean origins whereas the other
slave is more Germanic in appearance.  Nevertheless, they complement each
other beautifully. What a winning combination they'd make for the
discerning buyer. They are a stunning pair of slaves; a glorious rarity for
the genuine connoisseur of magnificent, male slave-flesh!

The fact that Matthew stands next to Miguel isn't by mere chance. No
indeed, it was cunningly planned by Malik who unerringly knows how to
display his slaves to full advantage on sale day. He'd recognized the
potential these two slaves had to engender the erotic interest of the
buyers. Seen together, Miguel and Matthew are superb. The genuine
connoisseur would recognize that fact and would find it hard to choose
between the two. Hopefully, the buyer, unable to decide which slave to buy,
would loosen his purse-strings and bid for both slaves. This is the clever
ploy that the ever canny Malik often employs and most times it works to his
monetary advantage.

Anwar's slave is a superb animal with all the lines of a true
thoroughbred. Tall, long-limbed and muscular, this slave will excite the
most jaded buyer. And how superb he looks fitted with his new slave collar
and cock ring. As the slave nervously fidgets on his podium, both collar
and cock ring glint in the filtered sunlight and add to his overall
allure. The neck collar certainly suits the new slave but it is the
cock-ring that does most to enhance his appearance. The ring has the
desired effect of bundling up the slave's cock and balls into a tight
package and showing them to perfection. The slave is massively aroused and
his circumcised cock points in the direction of where Malik is standing.

Like Miguel, the slave, Matthew stands with his legs apart and his head
bowed. But his nervousness is more evident in the quickened rise and fall
of his heaving chest and the fluttering of his abdominal muscles.  Yet
despite this, the slave is massively aroused almost as though he is
enjoying the new experience of being displayed so publicly. And most
delightfully, a slender, silver thread of his precum hangs precariously
from his piss-slit.

What was it that Anwar had said about this slave?

Ah yes! It was that Matthew was a born slave who craved slavery as much as
life itself. Well, the slave is to be granted his wish. Within a few hours,
his new owner will lead him from this place to his new home and into
lifelong slavery.

Malik wonders who'll be the successful bidder for this slave. Will it be
the African father and son? Or will it be Prince Omar. In a way, Malik
hopes that it will be the Africans who buy Matthew rather than the odious
prince. The slave's beauty is such that it should be savoured like the
rarest of wines with him lying on a silken covered rutting couch and not
quaffed as a raw, newly brewed beer with Matthew doubled over the prince's
ornate wooden paddling bench.

Still why should he be concerned with who buys the slave. After he is sold,
the slave will be of no interest to Malik and who buys him of no
consequence to him. Such is the nature of chattel slavery.  Slaves are
simply commodities to be bought, sold and used at the whim of their
masters.

Malik looks at the lot number written on the slave's chest and ass and
notes that he will be offered immediately after his own slave,
Miguel. He'll enjoy watching as these two slaves are sold and he will
follow the bidding wars they'll engender with great interest as his
auctioneer entices the buyers to part with their cash.

Malik glances at his watch and notes that the arrival of the first of his
clients is imminent. He takes his leave of the slaves and hurries to the
entrance courtyard to be on hand to personally welcome the first of his
clients.  Malik wonders who that will be.

                                                             >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Slave Matthew:

I'm shackled to the viewing podium next to the slave I know as Miguel; this
is the same Miguel who'd been used by my Master and Malik to entice me into
my slavery. Like Miguel, I stand naked with my feet apart and my head bowed
in humility - we'd been ordered to do so by an overseer - and our bodies
have been lightly coated with scented oil to display our physiques to
better advantage. I have a very new collar fastened around my neck which
tells the buyers that I am a product of the "House of Malik".

More humiliatingly, my genitals are imprisoned in a cock ring that
perfectly matches my neck collar and thrusts my cock and balls forward in
an obscene display for the buyers, who are yet to arrive. Despite the fear
of my unknown future, I am mightily aroused and leaking profusely.

Many times in the past, in my wild erotic fantasies, I had imagined
standing in a similar position as my present one while I was inspected and
sold to an Arab master. Today, fantasy gives way to reality and imagination
becomes fact. However, there is now one change in my desire to be an owned
slave. I now hope my Masters will be the African father and son who'd
inspected me two days ago rather than the Arab, Prince Omar.

The prince had repulsed me with his toadlike grotesqueness and his all too
obvious cruelty and now I live in fear that I could, by day's end, be owned
by him. The thought of such an appalling prospect fills me with dismay and,
if that happens, my erotic dreams of slavery will become nightmares of
cruel reality. And because a slave doesn't control his destiny, I pray to
whatever gods or fates decide the future of a slave and ask that this not
happen to me.

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning when I'd been given my
last meal of solids and purged.  Consequently, my bowels are empty but
hunger gnaws at my stomach causing it to squirm and rumble.  However,
whether this is purely from hunger or possibly fear is
debateable. Similarly, I was denied water overnight and my bladder is also
empty. So there is no risk of me disgracing myself in front of the
buyers. The same is true of all my fellow slaves.

The overseers continually give us sprigs of fresh mint to chew as we stand
and wait for the buyers. This is to sweeten our breath as our teeth and
mouths are inspected by anyone interested in bidding for us.  The taste of
the mint is most refreshing and the chewing of it also helps to ease my
thirst.

We are under the strict supervision of six burly overseers and all carry
thin, rattan canes or whips to use on any surly or uncooperative
slave. Three supervisors have taken up positions in front of the viewing
platform while the other three slowly prowl along our line at the rear.
The eagle-eyed overseers are looking for any breaches of slave etiquette on
our part and we have been warned of the dire consequences of offending the
buyers whom we have been ordered to respectfully address as "Master" in
anticipation of them owning us.

Whenever a buyer shows an interest in us, we are under orders to willingly
respond to that buyer's demands and to fully cooperate with him. In fact,
we are warned to put on a "happy face" and show the buyer that we genuinely
appreciate his interest in us. And further, the buyers' commands - no
matter how humiliating or degrading they may seem to us - must be obeyed
instantly and without any show of resentment.

Along with the other slaves, I was instructed in the correct procedures I
must adopt on the viewing platform.  Whenever a buyer pauses in front of
me, I must immediately stand at full display with my hands on top of my
head, my feet apart and with my hips thrust forward to obscenely display my
cinched cock and balls. My actions must be seen by the buyer as an unspoken
invitation to him to inspect me.

"Master, come and look at me. Please inspect me, Master!"

And when we aren't actually under inspection, we are to adopt the "at rest"
or modified display position with our feet apart, our hands clasped behind
our backs and resting on our asses. Additionally, we must stand with our
heads bowed to show our humility and as a sign of our total submission.

Even though my head is bowed and my eyes downcast, I'm aware that Malik
stands before me. Is he perusing me or thinking about parting with his
slave Miguel? What are his thoughts? Is he thinking about the uncertain
futures that await us or is he calculating the profit that he'll make on us
when we are sold. I'm not privy to his thoughts but somehow I think they'd
be mostly concerned with the latter.

Suddenly, Malik hurries away and we are left alone to await the arrival of
the buyers and, with them, our ultimate destinies. Silence reigns in the
courtyard and it is broken only by the rattling of our chains and the
sinister swishing of the overseers' rattan canes which cower us into
submission. But my inner silence is broken by the wild, erratic beating of
my heart, the ear deafening pounding of blood racing through my veins and
my loud, rapid breathing as I struggle to replenish my depleted lungs.

Surely this is the lull before the storm!

                                                             >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Malik waits as one of his slaves ushers the first of today's clients into
his presence. Only it isn't a buyer but rather a seller, his friend Anwar
who has arrived early to inspect his slave, Matthew before he goes on
public display.

Evidently keen to see his slave, Anwar graciously declines Malik's
invitation to partake of refreshments and asks instead to be taken directly
to the courtyard where Matthew is shackled to the podium.  Malik apologizes
profusely that he can't personally escort Anwar to where the slaves are on
display because, out of courtesy, he must be on hand to greet his clients
as they arrive. Anwar tells Malik that he understands and will find his own
way to the display courtyard.

Malik's sense of hospitality doesn't allow him to accept this and he
insists that Anwar be taken to see his slave. Impatiently he loudly claps
his hands to summon a slave forward from where he'd been unobtrusively
waiting with several other slaves until their service is required by their
Master.

The slave hurries forward and falls to his knees in front of his
Master. Anwar looks down at the slave and sees several very recent and
angry red stripes on his back and shoulders. These had been put there
earlier this morning by a very liverish Malik.

Impatiently, a still bad-tempted Malik lashes out with his foot and
peevishly kicks the slave's ass as he orders him to.

"You insolent dog! Crawl to the feet of the Lord Anwar and pay him the
respect due to him and then escort him to the display yard."

Hastily, the slave, fearful of incurring his Master's further wrath, crawls
to Anwar and grovels at his feet as Anwar speaks with Malik.

"And tell me old friend, how is my slave, Matthew faring? Well, I trust!"

"Anwar, he's truly magnificent! I have just this moment left him and you'll
be most pleased with the way he presents himself. I am sure that his sale
will be keenly contested and one of the highlights of the day.  But go see
for yourself. My worthless slave will show you the way and stay with you
should you require his services. Should you desire refreshments just order
him to fetch them to you. And if he displeases you then tell me and I'll
have the worthless Franj cur soundly whipped."

"If the slave offends me I will indeed draw his offence to your attention
for retribution. But now Malik, with your permission, I ask that he take me
to see my slave."

With another well-placed kick to the ass, Malik orders his slave to his
feet and tells him to escort "Lord Anwar" to the viewing yard. As Anwar and
the slave disappear into the inner recesses of the slave- market, another
slave approaches Malik, kneels at his feet and announces the arrival of his
first clients for the day.

Adopting a more pleasant disposition than he'd shown towards his slaves,
Malik hurries forward to greet them and to welcome them to his humble
market and to offer them refreshments before they too follow Anwar into the
viewing yard.

He is delighted to welcome Ahmedu Hadi and his son Abdel back to his
establishment. Quite obviously, they intend to follow through on their
intention to bid for the slaves Matthew and Finbar.  And dare he hope that
his own slave, Miguel will attract their attention enough for them to also
enter a bid for him.

                                                                >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Slave Matthew:

With my eyes downcast in the attitude of humility and respect for my
betters, I'm aware that someone is standing in front of me and
instinctively I sense that it is my Master, Anwar. I can't explain how I
know it is him; just put it down to my sixth sense. And he confirms his
presence when he addresses me.

"Good morning, Matt! Your day of destiny has finally dawned. Today, you
become the slave you've always longed to be in every sense of the word. By
day's end you'll be owned property; the slave of a new Master."

Of course, I am already owned property as I belong to Anwar. But that was
only ever meant to be a temporary situation. Despite my pleadings with him
to take me back to London to live and serve as his slave alongside of Sven,
he'd always told me that wasn't an option and that my future slavery would
be in the hands of another Master.  I'm not sure how to respond to Anwar's
greeting. After all, the overseers - and one hovers close by with his cane
at the ready - had specifically warned us against speaking to a buyer until
we are given permission to speak or to reply to questions put to us.

Then, Anwar disdainfully gives me his permission to speak.

"You may greet your Master, slave! And raise your head so that I may gaze
into your eyes as you do so."

I lift my eyes and look towards Anwar as I humbly greet him.

"Good morning, Master!"

"Indeed it is a very good morning, Matt! And the day promises to be most
rewarding for both of us.  Today will be the culmination of all your erotic
fantasies and you'll be granted your lifelong wish to become a true
slave. I, of course, will be the richer for that with the price I receive
for you. I must say, Malik has excelled himself in presenting you for
sale. You are indeed a fine slave and I am almost tempted to keep you and
take you back to London to serve with my slave, Sven."

Anwar's words give me some slight hope and I plead with him.

"Please, Master! Keep me and take me back to London with you. I swear that
I will serve you faithfully and obediently."

"Ah, slave if only I could trust you! But as I have said before, Matt,
that's not possible. It would be most unwise of me to return you to where
you are so well-known and could be recognized by your former friends or
business associates. No, your future lies elsewhere with a new Master. And
from what my friend Malik tells me that future could be in West Africa or
even here within our own royal family. But before I take my leave of you I
wanted to view you for one last time. Turn slowly to the left so that I can
view you in profile and from the rear."

I do as Anwar instructs and turn slowly to my left. As I stand in profile
he orders me to "stop" before commanding me to "continue".  I have my back
to him and I'm not aware that he has been joined by the first of today's
buyers. As they greet Anwar, my heart skips a beat for I recognize the
voices as belonging to Ahmedu Hadi and his son, Abdel. It is Ahmedu who
speaks first.

"That's his best angle wouldn't you agree? The slave has a most shapely ass
that just begs to be fucked.  Are you interested in buying him? If so, then
we are in competition with one another."

"No not at all!" You have nothing to worry about from me bidding against
you. Although I expect there'll be others who will. I hope so - you see,
he's my slave and I'm selling him before I return to London tomorrow."

"Ahh, so you are the one that Malik told me about. It was you who lured the
unsuspecting, young lawyer from London and had him enslaved.  I
congratulate you on your initiative in doing so.  And he suspected nothing
was amiss?"

"No, it was all too simple. All it took was a bit of pretence at friendship
and false flattery that pandered to his ego and he was easily hooked. But
then he is very na¾Ãe and easily led. Add in the fact that he'd
always fantasized about being a slave and he was ripe for the taking. But
tell me, what is your interest in my slave? Should you buy him what awaits
him?"

"He'll return with us to our home in Africa and serve in our household as a
pleasure slave. And there will be times when he'll be called upon to serve
as a "hospitality" slave to my visiting business associates.  That is his
immediate future but ultimately he'll be sent to work on one of my
plantations in the interior.  I have a high turnover of pleasure slaves;
usually they serve as such for two to three years and then I replace them
with newer stock. I also have my eye on another slave who we inspected with
this one the other day. But now lot fourteen has also caught my
eye. Standing alongside your slave he presents very well. I could well
include him in my bidding."

"And what about the other slave we just looked at, Dad?"

"Ahh, what impetuosity my son, Abdel shows!"  Ahmedu laughs. "He is smitten
by a very young slave - a mere stripling - who he believes shows great
potential for the future. Abdel fancies him as his personal body slave."

"This young slave is on show?"

"Yes, I believe he is numbered as lot nine. Is that not so, Abdel?"

"Yes Dad! That's right!"

"Then I must check out this slave and see what it is that appeals to your
son.  I will do so as I leave which I must now do.  I still have much to do
before my return to London. However, I will return later to watch as Matt
stands on the auction-block. I wish you luck as you bid for my slave and if
you are successful in buying him, I wish you good fortune. May the slave
serve you faithfully and well for many years to come?"

"Rest assured that he will! Should he become my slave then he'll need to
perform to the highest standards within my household or he'll be sent to
one of my plantations to work out his days under the whips of my
overseers."

"Ah, you see what the future could possibly hold in store for you Matt;
labouring under the whip as a common field-slave. I wonder if, in those
erotic moments as you fantasized about being a slave, it ever occurred to
you that this could be your fate. Or did you only ever see yourself serving
a Master as his pleasure slave?"

Anwar's words strike a chord. It's true that I'd always fantasized about a
benign form of slavery where I would serve as a sex slave to an
appreciative Master. It had never crossed my fevered mind that there were
worse types of slavery than the one I imagined for myself.  Ahmedu Hadi has
just stated my ultimate fate should he buy me. After a period of service as
a pleasure slave I will end my days toiling on one of his vast plantations.

Suddenly, I am very afraid. My foolish notion of story-book slavery has
been turned on its head and I now see that real slavery isn't at all as I
had always imagined it to be. The awful realization of the fate that
possibly awaits me is overwhelming and I feel the hopelessness of my
situation.

Tearfully, I plead with Anwar to set me free or to at least take me back to
London to serve as his slave and I promise that I will be a loyal and
devoted slave to him. Disdainfully, he ignores my pleas and as he takes his
leave of Ahmedu and Abdel, I throw myself at his feet and embrace his
ankles as I continue to beg for his mercy. As I grovel before him, I'm
unaware of the embarrassment he feels and I don't see the slight nod of his
head to an overseer to intervene.

Unaware of my Master's silent call to the overseer for help, I am taken by
surprise as a whip cuts diagonally across my back and ass. Momentarily, I
feel nothing but then, as the pain explodes within my consciousness, I hear
the overseer's angry shout.

"STAND UP, YOU MISERABLE DOG! GET TO YOUR FEET, NOW!!!!"

Once more, I feel the whip's cruel cut across my shoulders and it serves
its purpose.  Anxious to avoid more pain, I hastily scramble to my feet and
assume the display position. As I do so. Anwar turns and walks away from me
without a backwards glance or a word of farewell. Such is the fickleness of
his feigned friendship towards me and the next time I see my Master, it
will be from the auction-block as he watches while I am sold.

"That was foolish of you Matt!" Ahmedu admonishes me not unkindly. "Did you
really think your Master would set you free after all his efforts to entice
you here? I'm afraid there'll be no freedom for you. You will remain a
slave for the rest of your life and it is in your own interests that you
resign yourself to the inevitability of your fate. Now let's have an end to
your histrionics; they'll gain you nothing other than further cuts of the
overseer's whip."

As I struggle to regain my composure, Ahmedu and Abdel turn their attention
to Miguel. The father steps forward and minutely examines the Spanish
slave's body before ordering him to

"Bend and spread!"

I watch as Miguel shuffles into position and presents his ass for
inspection. Ahmedu takes his time and soothingly strokes the slave's back
before slowly running an exploratory finger down the deep cleft between his
smooth, olive skinned buttocks to his anus. Ahmedu playfully tickles the
puckering sphincter to excite it and then, when the Miguel is relaxed, he
thrusts his finger deep within the slave's ass.

"How is he, Dad?" Abdel asks eagerly.  "Is his ass tight?"

"It's as tight as a drum, son!" Ahmedu laughs. "Quite obviously it's been
well used and well trained by the slave's Master."

"How do you know that, Dad?"

"Simply by the way the slave's ass is gripping my finger and the squeezing
it. Obviously, he's well used to milking an eager cock."

Ahmedu's thrusting finger continues to excite the slave; I hear his soft
sigh of pleasure and see the trembling in his legs as Ahmedu reaches
between his thighs and cradles his balls in the cup of his free
hand. Ahmedu displays the expertize of a true connoisseur of prime, male
flesh as he rolls each ball between his fingers and thumb before gently
tugging down on the slave's scrotum and stretching it out between his
legs. Abdel watches his father's actions with growing interest as evidenced
by the suggestive bulge in the front of his tailored shorts.

"Hey Dad, you seem to have a handful!! The slave looks to have a good pair
of gonads."

"Indeed they are, Abdel. They are most impressive. Now let's see if his
cock matches his balls."

Ahmedu withdraws his finger and playfully slaps Miguel's buttocks and
orders him to.

"Stand and face the front!"

I watch as Miguel obediently assumes the full display position. His thick,
heavily veined cock is rock solid hard and protrudes from his groin at a
slightly elevated angle while a pearl like drop of his precum glistens
suggestively at his piss-slit. By comparison I am now limp-dicked;
something Abdel is quick to notice and draw to his father's attention.

"Dad, the other slave isn't putting on much of a show is he?"

"I put that down to his nerves! Unlike this slave, Matthew has never been
sold and naturally he is very much 'on edge'. It's natural for a new slave
to be concerned for his future as he waits to be sold.  Anyway, we know
what he's capable of from our recent inspections of him and the Irish
slave. Certainly he enthusiastically rose to the occasion then and he
didn't disappoint us."

Ahmedu now turns his attention to Miguel's cock. He uses his hand to
encircle the slave's rampant erection and begins to slowly masturbate
him. Miguel makes soft appreciative noises as he arches his body backwards
and thrusts his groin forward as an invitation for Ahmedu to continue.

A few buyers have entered the viewing area and some are attracted by the
African's inspection of Miguel and stop to watch. They stand in a small
group and talk among themselves as Miguel appreciatively responds to
Ahmedu's stimulation. As the Spanish slave synchronizes the forward thrusts
of his hips to the movement of Ahmedu's hand, they nod appreciatively and
comment that "the slave responds well to the touch of a Master's hand" or
that "he has a powerful thrust". I hear one favourable comment of how "the
slave's delectable ass cheeks tighten nicely with each thrust of the hips."

Any doubts I have that these buyers see slaves as anything other than sex
objects are rudely dispelled.

More buyers have joined the group to watch and, as yet, they show no
interest in me. Therefore, I am free to study these men who have come to
bid for the right to buy and own us. I am surprised at the eclectic mix;
for some reason the buyers in my fantasies had always been Arab. But this
isn't so in the House of Malik!

It's true there are Arabs present in the group - their dress indicates this
- but others are dressed in smart casual western garb while still others
are expensively dressed in business suits much like Ahmedu Hadi.  And they
aren't confined to any one particular racial grouping. Among them are
Africans, Asians and Caucasians. Their accents tell me they are from a wide
variety of countries and I overhear one expensively dressed black man
commenting favourably about Miguel and his accent tells me he is from New
York City.

Ahmedu ignores his impromptu audience as he further tests the vigour of
Miguel's erection. It seems he is oblivious to their presence and he
confines his comments to his son.

"Abdel, I'm impressed with this slave and I'm tempted to bid for him. But I
have one further test to make before I make my final decision."

"What's that Dad? What's the test?"

"I want to see if his mouth is as good as his ass and his cock. You just
commented on Matthew's limp dick. Let's see if this slave can correct that
situation."

Ahmedu turns to Miguel and commands him to.

"Kneel slave and bring your fellow slave to full erection! Show me how
proficient you are with your mouth and tongue."

Miguel quickly drops to his knees. Hampered by the shackles that restrict
his movements, he shuffles awkwardly towards me until his face is just
inches from my groin. Momentarily, he looks up at me and slyly smiles. Then
he places a hand on each of my hips and turns me around so that my ass is
level with his face. Somehow I know what is to follow and I am overcome
with embarrassment. His hands part my buttocks to their fullest extent and
I wait for the inevitable. I feel the Spaniard's hot breath on my ass
cheeks as a precursor to his tongue exploring the crevasse dividing
them. While I ready my body for Miguel's ministrations, I also steel myself
- as best as I can - for the inevitable crude comments and rude laughter of
the watching buyers which I know must surely follow.

As I wait on Miguel, the seconds pass slowly and each seems like a
minute. He snuggles his face into my thighs as his mouth hungrily searches
for my testicles. I feel his hot breath scorching my skin and then, as he
takes one of my balls into the warm, moist enclosure of his mouth, I feel a
familiar stirring in my loins; Miguel has barely begun but already I am
responding positively to his stimulus. It's obvious the slave is expert at
giving oral pleasure and as he suckles each of my balls in turn, I hear the
snickering laughter of one of our audience of interested buyers. But I no
longer care!

I abandon myself to Miguel's stimulation and the pleasurable sensations
enveloping me. Although I'm aware of their presence, the watching buyers no
longer bother me.

Miguel now uses his tongue to explore further. I feel its moist, warm tip
flicking at my very sensitive perineum and I am reduced to a quivering mass
of over stimulated nerve endings. Slowly and with deliberate delicacy he
moves his tongue from my perineum to my anus. And the tip of his tongue -
just like Eros's arrowhead - finds its willing target in my puckering
sphincter.

Miguel tries to drive his tongue ever deeper into me and with each
flickering attempt I am driven wilder; I cry out my acceptance and
eagerness for him to continue. Involuntarily, I thrust my hungry ass back
against his face silently begging for more.

Then suddenly Ahmedu orders him to.

"Stop! Take his cock into your mouth."

Once more, Miguel places his hands on my hips and turns me to face him. He
needs no second bidding and takes the tip of my semi-tumescent cock into
the warm embrace of his mouth. At first he suckles my cock much like a
hungry calf feeds at its mother's teat and again demonstrates his sexual
prowess. The tip of his tongue licks at my piss-slit and it is almost too
much to bear. My legs shake and my knees buckle and I reach out and take
hold of his ears in a firm grasp to steady myself. I hear my soft,
appreciative moaning as wave after wave of sensual pleasure washes over me.

I arch my back and thrust my hips forward as I try to force more of myself
into his mouth. Momentarily, my fellow slave gags and I feel the tightening
of his muscles as they try to repel my invading cock. But he is well
trained at giving pleasure and I feel the quick relaxation of those muscles
and the opening up of his throat allowing more of me into him. I look down
at him and watch the rhythmic bobbing of his head timing the movement of
his lips as they slide up and down the hard shaft of my cock.

As Miguel's mouth and throat continue to "milk" me, I feel a wonderful
churning in my balls which serves as a precursor to my impending
ejaculation. Already I have fired several warning salvos into Miguel's
mouth and I am almost at the point of no return. I brace myself for a
cataclysmic ejaculation into the mouth of the slave kneeling before me but
I am denied the opportunity as Ahmedu Hadi orders us to.

"STOP! Stand and both of you face me in the display position."

Quickly Miguel scrambles to his feet and stands alongside of me in the full
display position.  Surreptitiously, I sneak a sideways glance towards
Miguel and see that he is massively aroused. His erection matches the
intensity of my own and our two cocks point outwards toward the watching
buyers. And like me, a silver thread of his pre cum hangs from the eye of
his cock. Obviously our little tableau has pleased the buyers and they
reward us with a spontaneous round of applause.

Ahmedu stands with his back to his audience and takes hold of our cocks -
one in either hand - as he compares our erections and gauges their
rigidity. Speaking softly to his son so that those watching don't hear his
comments, he tells Abdel.

"Both slaves are very pleasing to the eye and to the touch! The thickness
and hardness of the Spaniard's cock is the equal of Matthew's and we will
bid for him. Naturally, he's been a slave longer than Matthew and therefore
he is more talented. But that will work in our favour; with his experience
as a pleasure slave I can immediately use him to entertain my business
associates."

Ahmedu's words fill be with both hope and some little concern. The hope is
that he will successfully bid for me but my concern is that he now finds
Miguel a better buy than Finbar. I worry that I am soon to be parted from
my new Irish friend. But Abdel's question to his father allays my concern
about Fin's future.  And their following conversation confirms that there's
every chance that Finbar will be bought and I won't be parted from him.

"You'll still bid for the Irish slave, won't you Dad?" There's a just a
hint of anxiety in Abdel's voice.  "You're still interested in buying him,
aren't you?"

"Of course, son!" Ahmedu re-assures Abdel. "I most certainly will bid for
him. We came to buy two slaves and it would seem I am now to bid for four."

"Which four Dad? There are these two and the Irish slave. Which is the
fourth slave?"

"Why, the young slave who caught your eye earlier. I watched your cursory
examination of him and you seemed most smitten by his charms. Isn't that
so, Abdel?"

"Yes Dad! I liked the look of him and thought how good it would to own him
and train him as my personal body-slave. But it was just wishful thinking
on my part."

"Ahh, sometimes if you wish hard enough, wishes do come true, Abdel. I
think he'd make a worthy addition to our household. He has an interesting
background too. He was enslaved just days ago and delivered here to be
sold."

"How do you know that about him, Dad?"

"While you were busily engrossed in fingering him, I asked an overseer for
details of his background He's seventeen - still a boy really - and he's
French-Canadian. His name is Jeremie.

"I like his name, Dad! It sounds exotic. Although it's too pretentious a
name for a slave. I suppose it could be shortened back to Jerry or even
Jem.  But then you are allowing Matthew to keep his full name.  How did he
become enslaved, Dad? Do you know?"

"The overseer told me he was picked up by slavers at a holiday resort on
the Costa del Sol where he was vacationing with his parents and younger
siblings. He was observed swimming and sunbathing at a secluded beach by a
spotter who considered Jeremie to be a suitable candidate for slavery. I
guess it was a simple matter to wait until he was on his own and to snatch
him and spirit him away."

"But how would the slavers cover up his mysterious disappearance?"

"I'm not familiar with how the slave recruiters operate, Abdel. But in
J£"£Îie's case I understand he was the only one on the beach and
the slavers arranged his clothing and personal effects in such a way that
it appeared he'd gone swimming on his own and went missing. No doubt the
local authorities assumed he'd drowned."

"He was unlucky, Dad! He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In a
way, you can feel sorry for him."

"Yes I believe you can pity his plight. However it's irreversible and he's
now a slave for life. And he'll make a most admirable slave for some
discerning Master. And Abdel, you may well be that Master."

"Do you think so Dad? Are you going to bid for him?"

"I'll give it my best shot, son. And it won't be for want of trying.  But I
expect stiff opposition as there'll be others who wish to own him. His
youth will be his main selling point and he is quite handsome and his body
holds great promise."

"So Dad, you'll be bidding for four slaves?"

"That's correct, Abdel. I'll be bidding for these two, the Irish slave and
the younger one, J£"£Îie."

"When we fly home tonight we could well be taking four new slaves with us."

"Indeed son! In all probability there'll be four new slaves on our jet as
we fly out tonight.  And speaking of the Irish slave, we should move on and
inspect him. I've finished my inspection of these two. All that remains now
is to wait until they mount the auction block and bid for them. And after
we've examined the Irishman, we could, if you like, double back and subject
J£"£Îie to a closer, more intimate inspection. What do you say?"

"Please Dad! Now that I know you intend to bid for him I'd like to check
him out more thoroughly."

"I thought you might." Ahmedu laughs at his son's eagerness.  "This time
you can finger him in the knowledge that he could soon be my gift to you."

I watch as father and son walk away leaving Miguel and me for the other
buyers. As I look after Ahmedu and Abdel my earnest hope is that I will
belong to them at day's end. My thoughts distract me and I don't notice an
elderly, Asian buyer in an expensive business suit waiting impatiently to
inspect me. Nor do I see two of Malik's overseers approaching until it's
too late. Viciously, they use their canes to force me to my knees and with
my nose to the ground.

They apologize profusely for my inattention and bad manners and hover
nearby in the background should they again be needed.

The Asian buyer orders me to my feet and tells me to stand in the full
display position.

I am now ready for another inspection; it is the second for the day and
just another of the many that are to follow before the auction bell rings.
