A Modest Servant

By Steam Train   ( steam_t2000@yahoo.com )

Chapter 6: No time for being modest

I had loved Raymond but my feelings for Marcus were different. To me
Marcus was a festering desire that I couldn't have, but which I desired
intensely. I could come up with no way of opening an opportunity to
satisfy that desire, until completely out of my control the opportunity
presented itself.

Marcus was to stay back at school this Wednesday after classes finished
and come back to Mr Norris's residence with me so we could complete a
history assignment together. Mr Norris had agreed and Marcus's dad was
picking him up on the way home from work at 6.30pm.

It was during the lunch break when Mr Norris found me sitting with Marcus
eating our lunches. He explained to Marcus that his dad had been called
into a late meeting tonight and had rung up too see if Marcus could stay
the night with Mr Norris and me. He told Marcus he had agreed to his
father's request, but that after we had finished our study together
Marcus was not to interfere with my houseboy duties. He would be free to
watch TV or study as he choose. I had a flush of annoyance at Marcus's
freedom, being able to choose what he would do and not do. No such
freedoms for a servant I seethed to myself.

Marcus sensed my annoyance and sullen disposition and to my surprise
chastised me for non-servant like behaviour. I nearly hit him, the hide
of him to treat me like this. Then I remembered Mrs Blackmoore's words"
don't look back on the past it will only embitter you, look forward and
serve your masters" and I began to calm back down. Marcus was no fool he
could see and feel what I was feeling.

"Good" he said, "You wanted to belt me up just then didn't you"

"No Marcus, No I didn't" I lied but my voice conveyed a sense of panic
I could not disguise.

`Your lying Tom and that's not allowed of a servant either" Marcus
replied.

"Ok, ok, I lied all right. Yes I wanted to belt the crap out of you,
I'm sorry ok. It's just that when Mr Norris gave you the choice of
doing what you wanted tonight whilst I have to do my service, I got
really annoyed. I get no freedom anymore, no choice in what I want or
don't want to do. I hate it Marcus, I hate it ok!"

"Yes Tom I can understand that, but hey it's not my fault, so don't
take it out on me right?"

"Yeah, ok, sorry Marcus" I replied.

"Right but Tom as your friend I owe it to you to make sure you're a
good servant, so I'm going to tell you if you're forgetting your place
ok. Better I tell you than Mr Norris or Mr Lindrum. I'm sure Mr Norris
would rule my actions a reasonable one.

I ended the lunch break that day in a somewhat reduced status to Marcus,
I felt. He had subtly asserted his "free" status over me and I had been
forced to give way. Just how much he had asserted his power over me I was
to find out that night.

Our study session went along as normal and then to my surprise Marcus
assisted me with my chores. Mr Norris chided me for allowing this to
happen and threatened a punishment, but Marcus replied that he had chosen
to do this himself as a friend and that I had not asked or even hinted at
him helping me out. I was grateful for the help and for Marcus taking
full responsibility for his actions, it made me realise how childish I
had been at lunchtime and I apologised to Marcus again when we were alone
working.

Later that night my desires were answered. Mr Norris told Marcus and me
that we should begin preparing for bed. Marcus asked Mr Norris if it
would be a reasonable request of me for me to wash him down in the shower
like his servant at home did every night.

My heart raced when I heard this, my penis instantly tented my track
pants and I turned slightly away so it was not so obvious.

Mr Norris looked taken aback by Marcus's request. As he thought about
the request, I was worried about Marcus asking this of him, as Mr Norris
was a very Christian man and this request could easily end in Marcus
being banned from seeing me. After thinking through the request Mr Norris
calmly said "Yes that sounds reasonable, if that's what your used too
at home then I see no reason why Thomas can't fulfil that service
tonight for you. Thomas go run a shower for Marcus and do as he
instructs, it will be good training for you in a new skill."

I had died and gone to heaven, praise the lord for miracles. Without even
trying my wildest desire was coming true.

Marcus had no spare clothes as he was not originally planning on staying
the night so I got him a spare set of my track pants, tee shirt and
undies and bought them into the bathroom along with my clothes.

After the door was closed I asked Marcus would he like me to undress him.

"Shit no Tom, I'm undressing you first. Come here"

I blushed, and walked over and stood in front of him. Not exactly the way
my fantasy had worked this out but anyways....

Marcus removed my socks, track top, tee and track pants before his
fingers grabbed the rim of my undies and lowered them. For the first time
my hairless, small genitals came into view for Marcus.

"Man your small! I always wondered what you had down there. Your not
very tall and your voice hasn't broken, I guessed you might me still a
little boy, know I know for sure"

Well what can you say when your best friend says that about you?

Well I said "Fuck you!!!!!"

"Oh don't be like that, I really hoped you were still immature Tom, I
wanted you so much to be like that, I find it a real turn on Tom, does my
feelings for you shock you?"

Yes I was shocked but not for the reasons he was thinking. Here I had
been, too shy about raising the subject of anything sexual, and all the
long Marcus was thinking of me as a sexual object.

No time for being a modest servant now I thought, tell him how you feel
whilst the opportunity is there, so I did.

I told him how I had wondered what he would look like naked, how I was
pretty certain I was bi and hoped that he was bi or gay too. How I was
too shy to ask. How I wanted to make love to him. Then I paused and asked
him was he shocked?

He was, I could tell.

"Make love to me Tom, shit man, I was sort of hoping maybe to jerk you
off, but make love to you, you mean ... fuck?"

"Yeah that and other things, but not all now Marcus" I quickly added.
"I have a little experience with sex, I don't think you have had much
at all and truthfully I have never fucked or been fucked so I need to
take my time with that too. If we do that it will be because we both want
it, but not now, ok Marcus".

You could see the look of relief on Marcus's face.

"Great now you can undress me servant" he said with a big smile.
`It's shower time"

Marcus was younger than me having turned 14 soon after I was indentured
in late March, whereas I had turned 15 some months after that in July.
When I stripped him naked I found a much more developed body than my own.
His legs were still hairless though perhaps the first signs of his hairs
growing and darkening were beginning to occur on his lower legs. His
chest was hairless but under his armpits were small patches of short
hair. There was no happy trail but there was a nice thick bush of black
pubic hair surmounting an erect penis that was about five inches long but
still reasonably thin, as most young teen penis's are. Below his penis
his ball sack was hanging but still hairless.

It took all my effort to stop myself hugging his naked body as he stood
there but I kept the thought of Mr Norris being just out in the lounge
room in the back of my mind and ushered Marcus quickly into the shower.
There with the water deadening our voices I whispered into his ear that
he was beautiful and began soaping his body as ordered. Of course I paid
special attention to his nips and arse before soaping up his penis and
balls. A few strokes with my hand and Marcus was groaning so much that I
had to cover his mouth with my other hand. I had thought of giving him a
blowjob but he was too trigger-happy. He shot his load after only a
couple more stokes, masses of cum shooting over my chest and stomach.

I had to grab him at this point as he seemed to momentarily pass out.

It was obviously a totally overwhelming experience for him and I had done
well it seemed. I had after all, been trained, if ever so quickly, back
at the auction house on how to service my masters.

Marcus was not so skilled in returning the favour but it was still his
hand jerking me off and when I shot a small load of near clear cum,
Marcus looked surprised.

"Not as immature as you thought, hey?" I said with some pride.

"No" was his almost speechless reply as he stood looking at my penis.

We couldn't stay in the shower too long because I didn't want to arouse
Mr Norris's suspicions. We dressed and went out into the lounge room
where Mr Norris was watching TV to say goodnight.

"Your dressed Thomas, you know you get inspected after showering, strip
off now" Mr Norris ordered.

How humiliating and it just served to emphasise how different my servants
status was to Marcus's free status. I know I had just had an erotic
naked moment with Marcus but standing naked before him as Mr Norris
inspected my body for cleanliness was something else. I passed the
inspection thank heavens and I was soon dressed again but I could feel
the heat in my blushing cheeks for minutes after Marcus had seen how I
was treated.

Ed showered after us and Marcus made sure he was handy to see Ed's
inspection, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Mr Norris or by Ed.

Half way through the inspection Mr Norris stopped and looking at Marcus
standing in the doorway to our bedroom and said "You like looking at
naked boys Marcus?"

Marcus turned beet red blurted out a quick "No" and turned and hoped
into Ed's bed. I'm sure I saw a smile appear on Mr Norris' face before
I too hoped into bed. Mr Norris had decided that tonight Marcus could
sleep in the room with me and Ed could have the guest room bed.

Ed came into our room to get dressed and quietly said to Marcus, "Here
want a closer look fag?"

"Piss off " Marcus replied.

Ed just chuckled as he pulled on his boxers and tee and repeated as he
walked out "Fag!"

"Ignore him Marcus" I said. "He calls me a fag every second day, it's
like his favourite put down, he means nothing by it".

I think being caught out embarrassed Marcus, still after Mr Norris went
to bed it didn't stop me from creeping over to his bed and snuggling up
to him, he didn't resist. I didn't plan on sleeping with him all night
but the next thing I knew Mr Norris was standing over the bed ordering me
out.

"What the hell do you think you are doing in Marcus's bed/" he yelled
at me.

Before I could answer Marcus answered. "I asked him too sir, I was
missing my bed and asked if he would cuddle me to put me to sleep as I
was restless. Tom was going to ask your opinion on my request but I told
him not to be so stupid, if he woke you up to ask you, I said you would
be mad at both of us sir. I'm sorry if you don't approve, it's all my
doing sir".

Mr Norris looked very sceptical but said that in this case he would
approve of the request retrospectively, however he went on, it was still
my duty to be up and have the breakfast ready. I guess I had in all the
sexual excitement of the night before forgotten to set the alarm. Marcus
could not save me from this mistake.

"Sir sorry Sir, my mistake sir, I forgot to set the alarm sir"

"Obviously Thomas and for a servant that is a bad mistake. Go get the
breakfast ready quickly and I will have Mr Lindrum over here at 7.30 this
morning for your punishment. Your friend here can watch and see what
happens to servants who don't do their duties correctly.

Then turning to Marcus he said "And If I ever catch you lying to me and
I can prove it, young man, it will six of the best on your young hands do
you understand".

Marcus's face turned ash white as he replied "Yes sir"

Mr Norris knew Marcus had lied about why I was in his bed but he left it.
I guess he was going to get his satisfaction anyway over my punishment
for the alarm failure.

After breakfast I tidied up and Ed went over to the headmasters house to
do his morning duties. Marcus helped me again, which enabled me to catch
up the lost time. I was already heavily in his debt and becoming heavily
infatuated with him.

At exactly 7.30am Mr Lindrum knocked on the back door, cane in hand. Mr
Norris showed him into the lounge room and I was pantsed and bent over
the arm of one of the lounge chairs. Marcus sat in another, I guess you
could say getting an armchair view.

I can tell you at that time there was no place for merriment or jokes. Mr
Norris had just informed Mr Lindrum that he was tiring of my attitude and
that I needed to be taught a lesson once and for all, that I was a
servant, not a free boy, so he ordered the maximum punishment, ten
strokes with the cane.

In front of Marcus and Mr Norris I was caned. Never before had I received
this many strokes at one time. After five I was begging it to stop after
eight I collapsed and Mr Norris and Marcus had to hold me in position. I
soiled the carpet when my bowls gave way after the eight strokes as well
and by the tenth stroke I was not capable of standing or screaming, I had
screamed my voice hoarse.

Marcus was asked to take me for a shower to recover and again he
undressed himself and then me and stood with me in the shower. Unlike
last night however neither of us was having any erotic thoughts. Both our
penises were erect. It happens for some reason when your severely caned
and it happens when you watch some one caned. Marcus apologised for his
and assured me it just happened, it wasn't because he enjoyed what
happened to me.

The warm water stung something fierce on my back and I cried out hoarsely
in pain. Marcus held me carefully against his body and we stood there
embracing for ten minutes as I gradually recovered my strength. That was
just how we were still standing when Mr Norris walked in.

Marcus instantly stepped back and covered his genitals. Mr Norris noting
the position he had just found us in asked Marcus to lower his hands.
Blushing profusely Marcus did as he was told exposing his still erect
penis.

"Ten minutes and your still erect, I need to have a very serious talk to
you two boys" Mr Norris said

Changing the topic deliberately he looked at me and asked "How I was".
I tensed, bitter at the caning I had just been given and I think Marcus
sensed I was about to say something I would regret so he spoke up."
He'll be fine sir, sore but he will recover. He's regained a lot of
strength already. Ten minutes more under the shower and he will be ok
I'm sure sir"

Looking at me Mr Norris said "I hope you realise just what a treasure
you have here in Marcus. I am loosing count of the number of times he's
saved your hide already. I saw in your face what you were about to say
Thomas, Marcus stopped you from opening your mouth and you having to
front up again tomorrow for another ten strokes."

When I said nothing he said "You hate me right now don't you?"

When I still said nothing he said "You know the rules of a servant, when
asked a question by their master, now do you hate me Thomas?"

Slowly I replied "Yes sir" with all the bitterness I could muster.
Marco elbowed me in the ribs as a warning.

Ignoring my reaction Mr Norris said "Good I was hoping you did. You have
to learn that your not the privileged spoilt kid you were. When you
accept that your life has changed and you come to realise that your life
here has many positive benefits and could be a lot worse, then hopefully
you will in time come to respect me Thomas. I don't hate you or your
brother. I want you to grow up model citizens and though I personally
don't agree with indentured servitude there is nothing I can do to
prevent it, but I can make it, in this school, a system that benefits its
captives".

"Thomas there is a lot of disquiet within the Parent Association and the
wider parent body of this school about your presence back here as both
students and servants. Many are urging and some are even trying to have
you removed. I don't want to loose you and your brother. I want to
protect you from the worst of the Indentured Servitude system. You must
help me in this by proving to the whole school that you do have human
dignity, that you are not an animal or an item. I need every parent and
student to see that you are fulfilling all the requirements asked of an
Indentured Servant, so they can have no grounds for complaint".

"Maybe you can't be friends with a servant Thomas, but I firmly believe
you can respect a servant's human dignity. You may think after that
caning I just ordered that I don't respect your human dignity, but I
ordered it so that you will remember what it's like to be a servant in
the wider world and so that you will strive to do your best the first
time without question or pause. Learn that lesson and you will be a great
servant Thomas and take that lesson back into your free life after your
fifteen years is up. Already I can see that potential in you, already you
are progressing more than your brother, let this morning be a lesson to
you and Marcus. Don't let human foibles interfere with your duties what
ever they may be". Don't give the bigoted, the uncaring, the prejudiced
a reason to send you away".

With that he turned and on his way out said, "Don't be more than ten
minutes boys, but I will leave the door open this time so I can ensure
that all that is happening is that Marcus is helping sooth the pain".

"I will see you both at Recess in my office about what I observed here
in the shower this morning and I suspect last night. Homosexual acts are
an affront to my Christian beliefs boys, you are not stupid either of
you, you surly knew I would observe your behaviour. I'm really
disappointed in you both and to add to that disappointment I was just
talking to your father, Marcus, when he rang to say he is dropping some
clean clothes around for you to wear this morning. Why Marcus did you lie
to me last night about your servant washing you each night? Better have a
good story boys or there is more punishment on its way and this time for
both of you."

When Mr Norris had gone I looked over at Marcus and said `You lied?
Your servant doesn't wash you each night?"

"We don't even have a servant Thomas" Marcus chuckled.

"Shit were in big trouble then"

"Yeah big shit" replied Marcus, the amusement gone totally out of his
voice.
