The drive back to Auckland was a good time to relax as Eric drove while I
sat back and looked at his smooth fluid movements.  I still preferred a car
with manual gear shift, it kept you alert and allowed you to have the true
feeling of driving and not just steering like the automatics do. The
numbness in my left hand still bothered me at times and the loss of 50% of
the strength in that hand was a frustration when trying to do something as
simple as open the screw top on lid of a fruit jar.  Eric had almost
frowned at me one time not long after leaving hospital when a particular
jar was giving me trouble and ended up in a shattering mess on the wall of
the kitchen, Eric had come over to me and with his inate sense of need,
wrapped his arms around me, laying his head on my chest and let the tears
flow on my behalf then with a small kiss went and cleaned up the mess
without a word.

I had begun to spend a little time each morning trying to strengthen my
right hand and wrist to make up for the loss on the left and slowly
developed other ways of doing things so that my little dove would never
have to see what anger I was really capable of. I had never let him see my
darker side and had spent years training myself to not get angry with
anyone or any situation which was hard for someone as volatile as I was
when younger.

Eric glowed with confidence and sense of duty when driving me around, I had
sent him to a good driving school and then to an advanced training class to
learn about evasion tactics when in a bad situation on the roads,
especially in Auckland where the driving was, to say the least, bloody
terrible. He had worked hard and had passed both courses with top marks and
when he came home at the end of driving classes with his brand new licsence
in his hand he went to "Penitence" and offered it to me with both hands
raised.

"What's this boy?"

"Master, I offer you this as a sign that I will never let harm come to you
while we are in your car."

"Thank you boy, from now on you will do all the driving, for every error I
see when you are in control of the car you will recieve ten strokes of the
strega, agreed?"

"Yes Master."

"Good, then come here my little dove, congratulations, I'm really proud of
you getting such good marks, I know I'm going to be safe in your hands."

Eric rose and leaned into my open arms with a huge smile as I lifted my
lips and kissed him, pulling him in close, feeling again that warmth that
had never left him as he snuggled against me.

When we had arrived home last night, Eric, as usual pulled up at the front
door to let me out before taking the car to the garage to park and then
entered through the connecting door to the kitchen where I was getting a
drink to relax with. I looked at Eric as he came in and apart from the fact
that I knew he was now closing in on his seventeenth year he still looked
like the same boy I had seen that first day.

"What would you like for your birthday this year Eric?"

"Can I have anything I want James?"

I thought for a little and then decided,'what the hell' he deserved
anything he wanted this time.

"Yes Eric as long as it's under $10,000.00."

"Can I do the Fifth Mythra?"

"What?"

"I want to do the Fifth Mythra, James."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"But...but, well hell I was going to do that for you next month as it is."

"I would really like to do it for my birthday James, it sort of ....well,
would mark a special time for me."

"Well kiddo if that's what you want then that's what you shall have."

This was going to be fun, the Fifth Mythra in my lounge for his birthday? I
don't think so. we had two months before his birthday so I had plenty of
time to do this one right for him, he wanted a day to remember then that's
what he was going to get.

For the next week a spent a lot of time on the telephone when he was at
school or out shopping for us, the people around the area had got used to
seeing Eric with his restraints on and although there was some pretty nasty
stuff at the begining they all now accepted that it was his life and the
way he wanted to be, many of the younger teens would stop him and ask him
about his strange life with me and he would always answer them with openess
and honesty, in a way he became their own local celebrity.

The older people who at first were the most voiciferous against him were
now making comments about how polite and helpful he always was when meeting
them in the street.

"James, that boy is such a delight, so polite and helpful."

"James, how the hell do you do it, I should give you my kids, they could do
with a touch like yours."

"Hey Jim, that boys a beaut, want mine for a week?"

It was just after coming out of hospital that the community spirit of the
50's and 60's returned to our area, the number of visitors coming and
asking what they could do to help kept Eric busy answering the door for
hours, all of this was due mainly to Erics attitude with others outside
when in public.

My little dove wants the Fifth Mythra for his birthday then he was going to
have one he would never forget. The first calls were to Greg, Nigel,
Richard, Brian and Cameron, they all laughed at my suggestion and said to
leave it to them and they would set everything up for me so he didn't catch
on to what it was all about.

Last night when we had returned home he became the most pasionate I'd ever
seen him, it was a long night for an old man but my boy glowed with love
this morning, even though he was moving with a little tenderness in his
butt.

I sat out on the veranda looking over the bay as he put my coffee on the
table beside me and then with a peck on the cheek and a wriggle of the
butt, he picked up his bag and took off for school. Two more weeks and they
had the mid year break for three weeks, I sat there for a while watching
the grey clouds gather over the city across the bay and then a light went
on in my head.

'Three weeks, Hmm, yes just enough time if I can find the people I wanted,
time to make plans.'

I went through to the computer and opened up my internet connection and
search engine, time to start looking for old friends.  Two hours later and
I had three names and although some of the news they told me was not the
best, they all agreed to do what they could for me and would make the
arrangements.

If everything worked out Eric was going to see a different side of me and
it would hopefully let him see that even a Founder had to start somewhere
and it was for that reason I was able to love him as I did.

Lunch time arrived and as he had done ever since he joined me, he was home
at 12.10pm for lunch, giving me his report of the mornings activities, this
had become in some ways a highlight of my day, his report was like a
military tribunal report and then at the end he would smile and scrunch
into me for his midday kiss.

After lunch was over and the kitchen clean he would gather up his bag and
be off again with a parting peck on the lips, even though it was like a
routine I never tired of it and he seemed the same, the blush and smile as
he left again told me that inside he was still the same young teen that had
arrived on my foor step two odd years ago.

For the next week I was busy making arrangements and looking after my boy
as he should be looked after and when the weekend finally came around I
called cameron and invited him and his boy to join us for a cruise in the
launch for the two days.  They arrived promtply at 8.00am on saturday
morning and after the usual formalities were over we were pulling away from
the jetty and heading out to the gulf and then on to Great Barrier Island.

Once out of the harbour I handed the helm over to Eric and Cameron got his
boy to bring two coffee's to the aft deck where we sat and watched the wake
as the two boys ran the boat from the flying bridge.Although I wasn't
really in the mood for fishing to day I did want to be out on the water
just feeling the salt spray in my face and the freshness of the breeze in
my greying hair.

Eric had become as fanatical about fishing as I usually was so he and
Camerons boy would do some fishing for our dinner and Cameron and myself
would just lazy around and be waited on.

"Well Cam, what you doinf for the school hollidays with your boy?"

"Not much James, damn office came up with an urgent contract so I'll be
working for most of it."

"Hmm, you still in that pokey two bedroom flat?"

"Yeah, we're both sort of settled there, I know I could get something
better for us, but, well it's close to work and the boy's happy."

"Feel like a break for a couple of weeks?"

"Ahhh, what you got in mind, I remember how you did things you know?"

(Chuckle)"Yes I suppose you do, keep this quiet, I'm taking Eric to Aussie
next week to meet some of my old Conclave and hopefully my old master, he's
in his eighties now but I'd like to see him before he left us."

"So Eric knows nothing about this?"

"Nothing, I wanted to know if you'd look after the house while we're away?"

"Hell yes, not a problem at all and the boy will love it so close to the
beach."

"Great, I'll leave the back room open for you in case you get the urge to
try it from the other side." (Chuckle)

"There now, I knew what it was I've always wanted to do."

"Whats that Cam?"

"Be on the right side in that bloody room of yours." (Laughter)

"Oh come on Cam, you loved every minute of it"

"True, but you did more to my mind than you ever did to my skin."

"Name of the game Bud."

"You never told me much about your first Master, what was he like?"

"Hmmm, well Kristos was a small man, about 5'5" and about 140 pounds, he
did more with the sheer power and strength of his mind than he ever did
with any equipment."

"So thats where you got it from?"

"Most of it but compared to what he could do I'm a real pussy cat."

"Well if you're a pussy cat I'm glad I didn't meet him."

"He was one of a kind Cam, I saw him one time put the fear of god into a
6'4" cop when we got pulled over on the road, he only said, while looking
up at the cop with what I called his 'no mess' look,"you don't even want to
do this", the cop went pale and just said to be more careful and let us go,
Kristos never said a word he just got in the car and drove away."

"Quite a guy then."

"Yes Cam, and you know what?"

"What?"

"Well i've been a Master for a lot of years and you know even today I miss
him so much at times, he just had 'The Way' with him, I can't imagine how
Eric will react when he meets him."

"You know damn well James, Eric will make you proud of him."

"Yes I know he wil, I never doubt that for a moment, but Kristos does have
a way of bringing people undone very quickly."

"Well good luck and don't worry about the house, We'll look after it."

"Thanks Cam, now about more coffee."

Cameron called out over the noise of the throbbing diesels.

"Boy, more coffee."

"Yes Master."

We both sat back with our own thoughts and watched the water pass by as
Eric held us on a steady course for the Island.  It was good to sit back
and watch the two boys laughing and joking as they fished for our supper
while Cameron and I sat and lazed away the day watching the sun sink behind
the cumulus clouds to the west. We had anchored in a small bay in the lee
of the Island and would stay there the night and listen to the water
lapping on the side of the boat as we made ourselves comfortable with our
boys beside us, it was the only way top spend free time, peace and
tranquility surroubded us as we cuddled our boys into us and waited for
night fall to come and the new moon to push its way over the top of Great
Barrier.

Erics last week of school was drawing to a close and on thursday night I
told him that tomorrow he was to come home and change into his best
restraints and long brown leather pants, boots and a white shirt under his
brown vest.

"You will 'Present' yourself to me at exactly 5.30, is that clear boy?"

"Yes Master"

"Ok my little dove lets go get some rest, and tonight you will be in your
own room, second star tonight, ok?"

"Yes James."

"Ok lets go, night little one."

"Night big one." (Giggle)

Eric was of course now fully aware of the cameras throughout the house and
even though I very rarely used them he was never sure if they were on or
not. Tonight his bedroom one would be on and as I undressed I watched him
changing his butt plug and then putting on his ear plugs and blindfold,
even testing them to make sure they were fitted properly. Eric then lay
down on the bed on his stomach and stretched out his arms and legs and with
what appeared to be a big sigh relaxed into sleep, it still amazed me that
he could nod off in amatter of seconds and be deep asleep within minutes.

Yes Kristos had been one of a kind as a Master but my little dove was
definately one of a kind as a Submissive, I waited for an hour and then
rose to go into his room. Once in Erics room I reached down and gave the
plug a good twist, his butt lifted a few inches but his ankles and hands
never moved from the position he had placed them in. I pushed the plug
further in until it was almost disappearing completely, then eased off and
watched as it slid back to its normal position.

Erics breathing remained constant and shallow as he slept on, only the
lifting of his beautiful golden globes gave any reaction to my stimulation,
I turned and left the room as his front rested again on the bed. To this
day I don't know how he did it, reguardless of what I did to him short of
going to something heavy, he would sleep on and only his bodies reflexes
would signal any notice.

At 3.00 am I woke and went back into his room and began to place size five
clamps along the inside of his thighs, a small sleep filled grunt came from
each attaching but he stayed asleep and sighed again with a peaceful smile
on his face.

At 5.00 am I went bacl to remove the clamps and saw that he was wide awake
and smiling still in perfect position and waiting for me to come to him.

"Sleep well kiddo?"

"Hmmmmmmm, yes, can I stay here all day like this?"

"Not in your wildest dreams my boy."

I reached down and unceremoniously pulled the clamps off him, when the last
of the dozen clamps was off he looked up at me still with a broad smile and
a look of askance.

"Ok kiddo skeedaddle and get cleaned up after you have my coffee ready."

"Love you."

The redness of clamps still bright on his inner thighs gave him a cute look
as he bounced off the bed and ran into the kitchen for my coffee.

When he returned home after his last day of school I purposely waited in my
room until he went to his and began the ritual of cleaning and dressing,
while he was busy I took the two cases down to the lounge and sat to wait
for him, the cases were now in the car and cameron would be here soon to
take us to the airport.

I must have closed my eyes for a little because when i opened them there
was a vision of such beauty standing at 'Present" before me I almost
gasped. I had seen Eric dressed many times but today he seemed like
something out of the Mythra paintings as he stood there waiting for me.

As my eyes took in his youthful beauty a looked down his length noting that
he was now nearly perfectly proportioned, chest about 34" wiast 27" and
those slim hips were only 31"s, the bulges in the arms of his white shirt
told me he had on his wrist restraints and his gold arm band, at his waist
was the impression under his shirt of his belt and the ankle cuffs showed
just slightly at the bottom of his pants legs but just above the top of his
brown boots. On the floor beside him was his chest harness, as I hadn't
told him to wear it he had brought it down in case I changed my mind, that
I wasn't about to do.

"Return your harness to your room boy and come back here."

"Yes Master."

Eric picked up the harness and was back just as Cameron rang the door
bell. Eric went to the door and opened it for Cameron and after his formal
greeting brought him into the lounge.

As Eric was still at 'Present' Camerons boy immediately went to 'Penitence'
and waited.

"Damn James, what have you done to that boy, he looks fantastic."

"Yes not to bad at all Cam, you ready?"

"Yep lets get you on the road."

A puzzled look came over Erics face as we made to leave the house.

"Ok Eric lets go, you can relax now, let Cameron drive and you get in the
back with his boy."

The two boys piled in the back and I joined cameron in the front as he
started the car and drove out and turned down the road to the airport. I
checked my inside coat pocket for the tickets and passports and then sat
back and let Cameron take us for the check in.

As we truned off the motorway at Manukau and turned down Wiri Station Road
toward the Western Motorway Erics puzzled expression became more obvious
but he knew better than to ask the question that was trying to burst
through. At last as we turned off to the airport his look changed a little
but still had some confusion on it.

"We're going to Australia for two weeks Eric, thought you might like a
holliday away from the house for a while."

The biggest and happiest beaming smile came over his face as he settled
back into the seat and got a dreamy look on his face, if he had known the
reason for going it might have made him pause and think a bit.

Once all the booking in and luggage checks had been done Eric and I went to
the waiting louge fpor our flight to be called and when it came through we
bvoarded our plane and the holliday began.

Although Eric had flown with me before it was on much shorter trips and his
enthusiasm showed through with the way he was nervously moving around and
fidgetted in his seat.

"Want me to lock you up Eric?"

"Eh...uh...uhm..oh sory James, I'm just a bit nervous is all."

"I can lock you if you like?" (Chuckle)

"In here?"

His voice still held the nervous edge to it as he didn't quite know if I
would or not.

"No problems if thats what you need to keep still for a bit."

Eric would of course willingly allowed himself to be locked up if I made it
an order so I just smiled at him and gave his ribs a nudge.

"Just funning with you Eric, you settle down how you like, it's ok."

Eric gave me his biggest grin and settled back into the chair as the
engines whined their way up to full rev's and we began to move forward for
take off. Within in secinds the rumble of rubber on the tarmac disappeared
as the plane soared into the air carrying us toward a new adventure for my
little dove. Even my stomach began to tic nervously as I thought of meeting
again with the one man that did more for me in my younger days than any
other. Deep inside my head I could still see him standing there in front of
me as he smiled his hard smile at me on the first day with him, that smile
and the look he had on his face had never faded from my memory in all the
years that had gone by.
