Subject: Pool Table and My Balls Chapter 36

The silence in the car is deafening until his phone rings, and I about jump
out of my seat, making me realize how tense I am. I can only hear his side
of the conversation. "Hey... Yeah, we're almost there now... okay... Ross,
Jesse and Cory are with us... yep." He closes his phone. Glancing at me
sideways he says to me, "Tough break for you. That was Craig. It seems
everyone you pissed off this weekend will be in the same place at the same
time." I don't say anything.

We all pull up at the same time and find Craig waiting with the garage
open. Steven doesn't pull in, leaving the car in the driveway. Ross and
Cory pull their motorcycles into the garage and Jesse parks next to us. I
follow Steven and Jesse into the garage joining the others already there
uncertain of what might happen next.

Jesse talks first, "Okay. Bring me up to speed. All of you are in sync with
whatever is going on and I'm not, so fill me in."

Steven doesn't answer him directly. He snaps his fingers and points to the
floor. I kneel before them and put my hands behind my neck. I fight back
the humiliation I'm feeling. Steven looks directly at Jesse who still looks
a bit confused. Still holding his gaze on Jesse he snaps his fingers again,
and points to the floor between his legs. I crawl to him and put my
forehead on the floor between his feet and clasp my hands behind my
back. I'm as uncomfortable with my emotions as I am physically. He asks
Jesse, "Do you get it now?" Jesse half nods and half shakes his head,
knowing, but not quite believing. Steven pulls his belt off his pants and
folds it in half. He lands a solid crack across my ass with each word he
says, "It's ... simple ... anything ... I ... want ... I ... get." The last crack
is especially hard. I control myself and stay quiet. I knew I'd be punished
but wasn't prepared for the emotional intensity. Stepping back in front of
me he pulls his dick out, "Suck." I can't help but to glance at Jesse as I
suck down Steven's dick. He's standing there with his arms crossed looking
really intrigued with what's going on. I'm relieved that he's not freaking
out. I suck Steven's cock just a short time when he pulls my head back by
my hair holding me just inches from his dick. A squirt of piss lands
directly into my face. "Open." Oh fuck! I open my mouth and he shoots
another squirt of his piss directly into my mouth. I glance around at all
of them. Cory and Ross seem amused. I'm not surprised at that. Jesse seems
more than amused, he seems interested, very interested.

 "Let's move this down to the basement," is Steven's suggestion. I walk in
the middle of them as we go downstairs. My eyes pop open and my jaw drops
to the floor when I see the dungeon space that's been created. I can see
from their reactions that Jesse is the only one of them who hasn't seen it
already. He looks around quickly taking it all in. I'm almost afraid to
look.

They all make themselves comfortable using whatever is available to sit or
lean on. I stand in the center. "Shirt off." I pull my shirt off and stand
bare-chested in front of them. "Shoes and socks off next." I take them off
while remaining standing. "The wrist restraints are in that closet. Bring
them to me as well as your collar and three clips." I go to the closet and
open it stunned by what I see in it. It is well stocked with all kinds of
restraints as well as a wide assortment of paddles, straps, floggers and
many other implements to inflict pain. My hands are trembling slightly as I
look for and gather what he wants. I bring them to him and drop to my knees
when he points to the floor.

It's embarrassing and humbling as he puts my collar on in front of all of
them. He steps behind me and puts me in the wrist restraints while I hold
my hands behind my head as he does it. He makes me crawl to the center of
the room where there is a simple metal ring screwed into the floor. He uses
one of the clips to fasten my collar to the ring making it where my face is
just about on the floor. He uses the other clips to fasten my wrists to the
same ring. My hands are now under my face so I rest my face on them. My
heart rate jumps when I hear Steven tell them, "Gentlemen, choose your
weapons. It's payback time."

Cory moves first and fast. I can hear the excitement in his voice. "I've
got mine. I'm armed and ready."

"Go at it." Steven gives him permission and within a split second the first
blow lands across my ass. Several more follow quickly. The blows sting a
lot but I've had much worse. Cory yanks down the back of my pants exposing
my bare ass for them to see and hit. I see Cory's pattern. He likes the
playfulness of it all. He's more playful than intense. With him it's more
like sophomoric hazing. It doesn't ease my embarrassment of having my ass
hanging out. I've never understood why it is so much more embarrassing to
have my pants yanked down than to take them off myself.

Ross steps up next. He lands five serious blows with the paddle. It hurts
like a mother fucker. Ross is more serious about it than Cory. He's more
down to business about it, more detached. I stay as still and quiet as
possible but can't help crying out a bit.

Cory encourages him, "Oh fuck yeah! Hit him good. Redden up that ass of
his." Ross lands several more good ones and I squirm about looking for some
relief. Cory teases me, "Don't pussy out. Take it like a man. Make your
brothers proud of you." I wonder what planet he found his logic on. The
others laugh at his humor. I don't get it.

Ross tells Jesse, "Your turn, bro."

I feel Jesse's hand lay on my ass. Even his touch is hard and
threatening. I can feel the heat trapped between my flesh and his palm. I'm
mortified that he's touching my ass like that. The first slap is hard and
stinging. He takes strong hold of my flesh as he hits it. He holds his hand
on my hot spot and then pulls back and wails it down again in the same
spot. He does it several times in the same spot and I can't help but sob
out in pain and embarrassment. He moves to the other cheek and does the
whole thing again. Then center. He lays his hand just above my balls. I
quietly beg him not to... the slap is hard and punishing. I dread the next
one and he makes me wait for it. I can't stop myself from trembling and
asking him to go easier on me. I'm pissed at myself because all of a sudden
I'm acting like some stupid kid again. The second one is hard and
punishing, as are the next several. My ass is on fire.

He turns to Steven, "Show me what you've got. It's pretty obvious you're
way beyond spankings."

"Are you sure you want to know?" Steven asks him with concern.

Jesse looks at Cory who shifts his eyes downward and looks away
uncomfortably. Talking directly to Cory he asks him, "Did you tell them?"

He shakes his head no in response. "I figured it's for you to tell more
than me. I just told Steven that you'd be in with all this."

We're all totally confused and look between Jesse and Cory for some
explanation. Jesse speaks up, "Okay, it's like this, sometimes late at
night Cory and I will hit the leather bars and pick out some willing
subbie-boi to beat on and mouth fuck. We've been doing it since college. It
was an easy way to get a blow job from a willing and capable mouth." He
looks a little contrite and concerned that he might be offending
us. Steven's look of amusement eases the tension.

Ross is serious when he asks Jesse. "Once again I find myself asking, which
team are you playing for?"

"I'm straight, bro, but you gotta admit these boys suck some wicked good
dick and beating on them is just an added kick." Jesse doesn't look nearly
as uncomfortable as Cory.

Ross continues the questioning with Cory, "and what's your part in all
this?"

"I already told you I'm into the bondage and S & M thing. It's like pay
backs. It ain't easy being number ten out of eleven. I was always getting
beat on and razed. This is my way of getting even. Tie em up, beat on em a
bit, humiliate and humble-em, then fuck-em. Job done." He ruffles my hair,
"It's just extra special when I get to do it to him."

Ross is sharp and caught something in what Cory said, "You said
fuck-em. You meant mouth fuck-em right? Are you butt fucking-em too?" Cory
shifts his weight and shrugs his shoulders. He and I might be the only two
in the room that know the answer to that question. He doesn't answer.

Steven looks at Craig, "and you, what's your story?"

Craig smiles, "I think Cory hit it pretty close. I like the whole
domination thing. It's a kick to dominate and control another man, do what
you want to him, make him suffer, and then take what you want from him. I
gotta tell ya, man, I like it. I like it a lot."

Steven asks him, "straight"?

"I'll let you know." Craig winks and everyone just accepts his answer.

The attention turns to Ross. Jesse prompts him, "and you"?

"Same shit, different day. I like the feeling of power and superiority."

Steven breaks the mood, "In case anyone is wondering, I'm gay and so is the
faggot, so, let's string him up and have some fun with him."

I guess they don't realize that I would obediently allow them to do what
they want. Instead, they work together to restrain me, as if I would try to
escape them if I could. The force they use is unnecessary, but I know it's
overpowering me that they enjoy so I put up enough of a fight to make it
fun for them. I get a couple of good shots in to make it interesting but I
can't possibly overcome the five of them, although Steven is only watching
and supervising as necessary. They leave my pants on and it dawns on me, if
they're straight they have very little interest in what's in my pants. They
fasten my ankles into the leather straps of a spreader bar. Attaching the
spreader bar to the chains of a hoist, they lift me upside down. They
secure my wrists into another spreader bar and secure it to the ring in the
floor. They lift me up further until I am stretched tight and spread
eagled. I get adjusted to hanging upside down. I've been hung this way
before and both Steven and I know I can take it for some time.

They look me over intently and with great interest. I can't look them in
the eye. I keep switching between being turned on and excited by what's
happening to being embarrassed that it's happening with them. When the
scene is over they're all still going to be in my life. I remind myself
that they're into it or they wouldn't be here, but it always feels like I
have more to be humiliated and embarrassed about than they do.

>From this position I watch Steven go to the closet and choose a
flogger. He dangles it across my chest and lets it brush across my face
showing me the strands are thick and heavy. I resist holding my breath as
he steps behind me, but my breath catches when I realize the others have
stepped in front of me to watch. The first shot of the flogger lands in a
downward motion between my legs. The feeling is a blunt, stinging feeling
deadened only slightly by my pants. He lands several more the same way and
it's only my pride that keeps me from crying out. He reads me well and
slashes it across my ass rather than down on my perineum. He does it that
way a bunch of times before slamming it downward again. The ends of the
frays catch the bottom of my ball sac and I do cry out this time. The next
several slashes are across the back of my thighs ending in another really
hard one on my perineum. I cry out again. They visibly grow more
comfortable with what's happening as they develop more confidence in what
Steven is doing.

Steven steps in front of me and flogs the front of my thighs. He does my
legs really hard and moves upward toward my pelvis. A deep gasp escapes me
as he lands a downward stroke between my legs landing with a thud to my
balls. The others cringe, but laugh, amused by it.

Using a circular stroke he lets the frays of the flogger scrape across my
bare stomach causing a real stinging feeling. I feel the heat rising and
know my stomach is turning pink. I tighten my stomach muscles and am caught
totally unaware when the flogger smacks down between my legs again. I yell
out, "Oh Fuck!" when it happens.

He lands another one and reminds me, "That's `Oh fuck Sir' to you boy."
They laugh at his comment.

He circles me using the circular stroke and makes my whole upper torso feel
like it's on fire. His occasional strokes between my legs catch me
unprepared every time. I pick up my head to see the pink and red streaks
all over my body. He stops for a minute. Picking up a set of nipple clamps
attached by a chain he brings them to the others so they can see them. I
just suck it up and take the biting pain it causes when he attaches them to
my nipples. I squirm when the ends of the flogger hit the clamp on my left
nipple. He does it three times and on the fourth time the flogger rips the
clamp off. I scream out. He does the other one the exact same way. He puts
them on again. He also puts similar clamps around my navel this time. He
uses the same pattern to knock the ones off my nipples and then to knock
the ones off around my navel. He puts them all on again, plus he adds some
to my underarms. It hurts like hell when he knocks them all off again. He
does it a bunch of times adding more and more each time. I try to be stoic
and take it but I can't help some squealing and squirming. They're
commenting on his skill and not even thinking about how much it hurts me.

He grabs my raging hard cock in his hand and pulls me forward by it. I see
the amazement on Ross and Jesse's face as they notice I'm hard for the
first time. The look is very different on Craig and Cory's face because
they'd been aware of my erection the whole time. Even in my predicament I
find this very interesting.

Steven gets my full attention back when he comes toward me carrying several
zippers. I look at the number of clothespins on each cord and dread what's
coming. He slowly attaches each clothespin on the cord to the skin running
up my arm onto my sides. He does each side. He picks up a rubber rod that
looks like a car antenna and whacks each clothespin. It makes me aware of
how much it's going to hurt. Using the antenna, he systematically hits each
clothespin hard enough to knock it off. Oh fuck, it hurts. He puts them
back. He also puts another zipper across each of my nipples. I sob softly.

He hands the rod to Cory. Cory goes to work on one of my nipples. He's
sloppy and unskilled and it takes him a number of whacks until he knocks
them all off. It hurts like a mother fucker. He hands it to Craig when he's
done. He goes to work on my other nipple. It's red and raw by the time he's
done. I try to suck it up and take it as quietly as I can.

He hands it to Jesse. In one hard swipe he rips half the clothespins down
one side. I scream out. He stands there grinning until I recover and does
the same thing again ripping off the rest in one final swipe. Ross does it
the exact same way and I scream out with both strikes.

Steven puts them all back on me as I sob softly. He talks to the others,
"Okay gentlemen, on the count of three yank them all off at once. One quick
pull and they're off in a split second. One, two, three!"

I scream as they all pull them off at once. The pain is shocking as it
surges through my body all at once. I struggle and pull against my
restraints but Steven holds me tight so I can't hurt myself. It takes only
several seconds until the pain starts to subside but it seems to take
forever. I get pissed when I realize they're all high fiving and
congratulating each other as if they did something special. I'm the one who
took it all. What the fuck do they think is so great about what they did?

"Well gentlemen, has he suffered enough?" Steven asks them.

"Not nearly." Jesse answers simultaneously as Ross says, "Nope."

Cory jumps to my rescue, "We can fucken hurt him anytime. I'm ready to get
my dick sucked so let's put it to him." He's already stepping in front of
me and opening his pants. Steven bends down and unclips my wrists from the
spreader bar and brushes his lips lightly across mine as he does it. That's
all I need from him to be okay. He hoists me up further to crotch level and
I'm looking directly at Cory's cock and balls staring me in the face. I
instinctively lean in to suck him off but Steven grabs my hair from the
back and pulls me away from his dick.

He tells Cory, "He's too anxious. He wants it too bad. Turn around." Cory
looks confused. "Turn around man, make him eat your ass first. Don't spoil
him." I feel the color rush into my face from embarrassment. Cory turns
around and drops his pants. He takes a step back to get his crack closer to
me and I lean into his crack and slide my tongue up along it. Steven grabs
me by the back of my head again and pushes me all the way in and tells me,
"Get your fucking tongue up his ass! Lick his ass out. Work at it." The
embarrassment is horrible but Cory has a sweet ass. It's perfectly smooth
without a blemish on his perfect skin. His cheeks are firm but meaty. His
pucker is silky. I lick out his ass aggressively.

Ross interrupts, "Damn Cory, you have no shame. Giving your ass up in front
of all of us like that."

Jesse tells him, "Fuck that way of thinking. I've been making him kiss my
ass whenever I got the chance. This is a golden opportunity the way I see
it." Jesse steps right up and drops his pants. "My turn." He spins me away
from Cory and backs his ass right into my face. Steven pushes my face right
in.

Jesse has a man's ass. It's pungent and hairy. His ass is hard and
muscular. The impact of what I'm doing is much stronger than it was with
Cory. Everything with Cory is playful, Jesse isn't playing. I rub my tongue
all around his hole and then try to work it up inside of him.

He turns quickly and smacks my stomach, "No fucken way fag boy. Nothing
goes up my ass. That was your punishment, not mine. Suck my cock faggot."
He pushes his dick into my mouth. It's thick and meaty with a well defined
head and big piss slit. His pubes are bushy and coarse. I put my hands on
his hips and pull him all the way in, deep-throating him right down until
his ball bag is plastered against my nose. I use his hips as leverage and
ride his dick in and out of my mouth. This is so much easier hanging free
and upside down. I think he's taken back at how good it feels as he moans
and leans in.

I keep at it a bit until Craig pulls me off Jesse's dick and spins me in
his direction. He says, "Now it's getting interesting. Suck mine like
that!" He slides his dick in. I suck him with the same enthusiasm as I
sucked Jesse.

"Me next." Cory takes his turn fucking my mouth. "Oh fuck yeah! This boy
was made to suck dick!" He holds my shoulders and slides me back and forth
over his dick. I really like sucking him. The three of them pass me around
between them for a while.

Steven takes charge, "Let's lower him down so we can ride tandem. He has
two holes, let's use them both." They move a table over and lower my torso
until I'm resting on the table with my head hanging backward over the
edge. My ass is lowered until it is crotch level.  My arms are stretched
out and secured to the table. I look around at all of them knowing I'm
about to get fucked at both ends in front of them all. "I'm fucking his
ass, I don't care who fucks what. Just take your turn and choose a hole."
He pulls my pants down far enough to expose my ass, but leaves my cock and
balls trapped in them. He pops his cock head inside my asshole and
mercifully gives me time to adjust before sliding it all the way into me.

Jesse takes his place riding my mouth. He presses his hands down hard on my
chest as he fucks my face. Steven watches Jesse intently as he fucks my ass
slow and steady. The two of them are riding me pretty good. I feel Jesse's
cock swelling in my mouth telling me he's getting close. He unleashes a
huge load in my mouth and I swallow and lick frantically so I don't miss a
drop. Steven pulls me into him by my hips and pushes in hard and deep. He
pulls out and pushes in quick and I feel him tense as he shoots his load up
my ass.

Cory looks at Craig. "Rock, paper, scissors, best out of three." They
quickly play it out with Craig winning. He takes my ass. He pushes right
in. Cory claims my mouth. The two of them fuck me. Cory's cock is as sweet
as his ass. I really get into sucking him. Craig's fucking me smooth and
steady. I get lost in it until Cory pulls out and shoots his load all over
my face. He squeezes out every drop. He uses his finger to scoop some up
and puts it in my mouth. I suck his finger clean. This is enough to send
Craig over the edge and he pulls out and spills his load all over my cock
and balls. I'm soaked in cum at both ends. It's really endearing that they
both thank me but somehow it just adds to my humiliation.

All the attention turns to Ross. Ross looks around at everyone. He jumps up
on the table and stands straddling my stomach. He slowly opens his pants
and just as slowly pulls out his cock and balls. He tucks his underwear
under his balls and slowly strokes his dick stretching it out. Holding it,
and taking aim, he pisses up my chest. "Open your mouth little brother. I
need to rinse you out before I'll fuck your face. I don't do sloppy
seconds, or thirds." I pick up my head and open my mouth. His aim is
good. His stream is strong and hot. I swallow some of it. "Now I didn't say
you had to swallow it. That was your idea you fucking little pig." Jumping
down from the table, he grabs the hoist and pulls me back up until I'm
hanging with my face in his crotch. "Get to work cocksucker. I'm not going
to do your job for you."

I take hold of his hips and move myself back and forth letting his cock
slide into and out of my mouth. I feel his piss dripping off my body. I
work his cock with all I've got, and I've got a lot. I work his dick like a
pro and bring him to the brink of orgasm. I back off but he grabs the back
of my head by my hair and shoves his cock down my throat. He works me back
and forth on his dick. He fires his first rope of cum into my mouth and
then pulls out shooting the rest on my face.

"You're a fucking mess again." He taunts me as he steps back and puts
himself away.

Cory pushes him out of the way, "You're not the only one with a hose." He
pisses all over me as I hang upside down. I protect my eyes as best I can
because I know how piss burns. Steven lowers me down to the ground as Cory
continues pissing on me. I'm on the ground by the time he's done and the
others step up. They all piss on me at once. I'm soaked and lying in a
puddle by the time they're done.

They're all satisfied and in a good mood. Steven unfastens my ankles,
"Clean up this mess and yourself. Then meet us upstairs."

Cory asks him, "Doesn't he get to cum?"

"No." Steven answers.

Cory persists, "Doesn't seem fair."

"I don't have to be fair. That's why I'm the Master and he's the slave."

Cory looks at me, "Sorry bro. At least I tried." He follows the rest of
them up the stairs as I begin cleaning up. I finish cleaning up and spend
some time trying to figure out what I'm supposed to wear. I usually have to
be naked but Steven has kept me dressed, at least with my pants on, all
night. I pull on a pair of underwear and head up to join them. I find them
in the living room.

They're all in their jeans and nothing else. Steven gives me a one word
command, "kneel." I kneel before them in the center of the room. I clasp my
hands behind my head. He continues, "Respect, obedience, discipline,
suffering, submission, and service. Any questions?"

"No, Sir." I look down humiliated.

"Show us." He doesn't say anything else or give any other directions. I
fucking hate this! It's so much less humiliating to follow orders or be
forced to do something humiliating than to have to do it on my own. Dammit!
I take a deep breath. I crawl to each one of them and kiss each of their
feet to show respect and submission.

Steven throws a butt plug on the floor in front of me. I look at him
pleading him not to make me do this. "Use your spit for lube and shove it
up your ass." They all laugh. I suck the plug, pushing it far enough down
my throat to get the heavy spit from my throat. I pull my underwear down in
the back and bend over. I put the butt plug at the entrance to my hole, and
push. I cringe at the pain but push it all the way in. "Now go stand in the
corner by the television, bend over, and grab your ankles. Stay like that
until I say you can move." With my ass facing them, I bend over and grab my
own ankles. This leaves me looking at them from between my legs and upside
down. This is so fucking humiliating and uncomfortable as hell. They keep
me like that the whole time as they bullshit with each other and then watch
the fucking news. I'm so miserable.

"Okay shithead," Steven addresses me, "Cory thinks you should get to cum so
I'm going to let you just so everyone can see what a sick fuck you
are. Stay in that position and jerk off. You can't move until you cum. If
you don't cum in five minutes I'm going to get my belt and beat your ass
red. Trust me; you don't want that to happen."

I use my right hand holding onto my ankle with me left hand. I jerk off
furiously as they make jokes and tease me. I think about how they punished
me and how I had to get them off. I think about how humiliating, degrading,
and embarrassing it all is. I think about what a loser I must look like to
them with a dildo up my ass, bent over, and jerking off in front of
them. I'm so turned on by it all that I shoot my load in just two or three
minutes.

Steven tells them, "I told you he was a sick fuck. I could never even get
hard, let alone cum, in such a sick and humiliating way, but he does it all
the time. I told you guys he not only likes and needs this shit, he really
gets off on it. Now watch, he'll lick it all up." I take that as my queue
and bend over and lick my own jizz off the floor.

Ross says, "He's always eaten his own cum."

Jesse adds, "Yeah, but now he eats everybody else's too." They all laugh
again.

Finally, they're about ready for bed. They follow me outside to watch me
squat to piss laughing hysterically at my embarrassment.

Steven takes me up to bed by making me crawl beside him. Once we're alone
he says, "Fuck, this just keeps getting better and better. We've got just
about everyone in on it; our friends, my brother, some of your brothers,
your boss, the guys at the club, and now we have a full dungeon in the
basement. You fucking get it at every turn from just about everyone and all
you can do is bend over and take it. It's so fucking hot! I love it! Suck
me off and you can jerk off again while you're doing it." I get us both off
again with an intense orgasm and fall asleep exhausted.

I wake up in the morning with a sense of disbelief and dread. I have no
idea how this is going to continue to play out. Steven rolls over and
gathers me in his arms and spoons me. He kisses my neck and asks me, "You
okay?"

"Yeah, I guess. I have to face them, don't I?" I snuggle in tighter.

"Yep." He's never very talkative in the morning. I sigh in
resignation. "It'll be fine. They're probably more embarrassed than you
are."

"How do you figure?" I ask curiosly.

"I don't know, it sounded good and I was trying to make you feel better."
He hugs me tightly. Oddly enough I do feel better. "Get moving. I'll go
make breakfast. Put something on. We have to respect the breeders. Good
call with the underwear last night. I'm sorry I didn't think of it."

I get up and pull on a pair of sweat pants. I open the door and walk right
into Cory. He says, "I was waiting for you." Without saying anything else
he walks outside with me. I look at him. He pulls his dick out and starts
to pee. "I figured it would make it easier for you."

"I have to squat." I remind him.

"Sorry bro, but this is as far as I go." I squat down next to him, pull my
pants down, and lean forward on all fours to pee without getting my pants
wet. I know he was trying to help but this is actually more embarrassing. I
turn around to see the others watching. I just finish peeing. What else can
I do?

We all gather for breakfast. The conversation is normal through most of
it. Toward the end Ross speaks up. "We've been talking... we want to
play. Last night was fun and we want more. Is that okay?"

Steven and I look at each other and we both know each other's answer. We
both nod.

Looking at me Ross says, "We're brothers, nothing fucks that up. No matter
what we do to you you've got to know that."

I nod my head fully confident in what he's saying.

Ross continues, "The more secure you are the further we can go."

"I know how this works." I assure him and everyone else. They all nod as if
we just made a family pact.

Jesse asks, "How close did we get to your limits last night?"

I answer somewhat embarrassed, "Not even close." Steven's smile is full of
pride, Cory and Craig chuckle, and Ross and Jesse nod at each other as if
they were just affirmed in their thinking.

Steven asks, "So we're all in?" They all agree. "The game just took a whole
new turn. I hope you're up to it, boy." I hope I am is all I can think.
