A NICE LITTLE BUSINESS By Tommy Joe yawned and put down his newspaper to check his side mirror. Parked just round the corner on a small country lane, the edge of the mirror gave him a good view of at least two hundred yards behind his van. He checked his watch. The secondary school must have finished by now. His mouth felt dry. This was always the most dangerous part. Despite all his experience, his careful preparations, attention to detail and various contingency plans in place, he knew the risk he was taking. It wasn't as if he needed the money. He had enough hidden away in offshore accounts and Swiss vaults to keep him in luxury for the rest of his life. So why was he doing it? Okay, he enjoyed what he did and keeping his clients happy. He shrugged. Maybe he just enjoyed it too much. He thought about the news item he'd just heard on the radio. Two young boys missing for nearly a year, just found by police living rough in a warehouse in south London, drunk and heavily drugged. The amount of hard drugs found in their possession suggested they'd been part of one of the many gangs in the area, though police stressed this couldn't be sure, especially given their very young age. Joe had laughed. As usual, he'd had a lot of help from his clients in arranging that. By the time they managed to get any sort of coherent story out of the kids, the police would no doubt find most of it hard to believe. He saw something in the mirror and squinted. He was coming! Please let him be alone! If the kid was walking home with a friend, it would ruin everything. Joe took a deep breath. How long had he prepared this? Probably three or four weeks? Days and days driving round, watching the kids leaving their schools, noting who went where, the shortcuts they took, suitable places to park, alternative routes out of the area, even the locations of local police stations. Carefully examining each boy who made it to his so called short list, crossing off those too young or too old, who didn't possess that certain feminine look, pert bottom and that little cheeky and innocent expression that was so much in demand. The boy was getting closer. Joe breathed a sigh of relief. This was the one he'd chosen. Yes, that was definitely him, and he was alone. Let's hope he'd chosen well. *** Dominic kicked a stone and watched it fly into the ditch at the side of the road. He looked through the trees on his right. He'd made a den in there a few weeks ago. Maybe call on Trevor when he got home and go over there again. Better go quickly though, before Mummy checked his satchel and saw the comments from his Maths teacher. He'd probably get another slap on the bum for that and a long lecture. He sniffed and wiped his nose on his sleeve. What a day! Two months into his first year at secondary school. Why did they give so much homework? He turned the corner and grinned. A van was at the side of the road, its back doors open, a man in white clothes and checked apron standing and looking down at a pile of bread and cakes that had fallen out. The man turned, saw Dominic and shook his head, laughing. A sign embroidered on the front of his apron read 'Millfield Bakery'. "Give us a hand will you?" he said, starting to pile the bread back into a large plastic crate. "There'll be a few quid in it for you." Dominic nodded shyly and started to pick up the cakes. His Dad hadn't given him any pocket money this week. A few pounds would be great! Joe shut one of the doors and pulled the other open as wide as he could. "Just slide the crate right to the end." For a second, Dominic wondered why on earth the man hadn't left both doors open. Wouldn't it be easier? He lifted the crate and put it in the back. "Best to get right in and push it to the back" said Joe, picking up more loaves. "You'll see a little hook it clips on." He watched the young schoolboy start to climb up into the van and licked his lips. So far, so good. The boy's school blazer rode up and Joe saw the boy's black trousers stretched tight over a large pert bottom. Hmm, that looked so good! The boy looked back at Joe. "I can't see any clip." Joe swallowed. Shit he'd chosen well this time! The kid was probably between eleven and thirteen, not exactly podgy, but replete with just the right amount of puppy fat, fair curly hair and twinkling light brown eyes. "Hang on a tick, I'll show you." Dominic looked at the corner of the van, searching for somewhere to clip on the crate and felt it shake as the man jumped in. He saw the man's hand reach under an old blanket. Okay, it was under there. He hadn't seen. Now to. Something touched his shoulder. There was a crackling sound and then a wave of pain hit him. He opened his mouth but no sound came. Large hands caught him as he fell. A sickly smell in his nostrils. Couldn't breath, couldn't. Darkness. The drive to one of his safe houses took three hours. The van, all bakery insignia and false number plates removed, was parked in the double garage. Joe yawned. How long had he rented this place? Must be four years now. Of course he paid over double the normal rent, but at least the landlord left him alone and never asked for any papers. Not that it would have mattered anyway. Joe was very proud of his collection of forged documents! Sliding the sleeping boy carefully to the doors of the van, he jumped down. He felt the boy's pulse and slapped his face lightly. The electric stun gun was a doddle, but the chloroform was always a bit hit and miss. Good, still well under. Should be good for another hour or so, then give him a bit more when he looked like waking up. What time was it? Seven o'clock. Okay, so home about nine. He took a sandwich from his pocket and crammed it in his mouth. Bugger, he'd been hungry! Finally able to have a better look at the boy, Joe chuckled and brushed the boy's curly hair away from his eyes. Wow, he really was a pretty one! He opened the brown school satchel the boy had carried over his shoulder and quickly looked through the books inside. Terrible handwriting! So the boy's name was Dominic Sanders and he was twelve years old. Joe frowned. Quite young looking for his age. Hmm, so what about 'down there'? He undid the boy's trousers and pulled the zip down. He laughed. Action Man underpants! They looked funny! He eased the front of the pants down and slid his other hand in, pulling the boy's genitals into view. He whistled. Not bad, not bad at all! One thing he couldn't stand was ugly, funny shaped cocks on young boys. Dominic had quite a nice little cock, though a lot of foreskin at the end, as usual. Not to worry though. He ran his hand carefully over the boy's penis and testicles. Fantastic! Oh great! Although mostly smooth, he could feel a few soft hairs here and there. Perfect! The boy was already in puberty. That always made things much easier and kept the clients happy. Over the years it had become clear which boys were most in demand by his clients. It wasn't easy, but he'd become quite skilled at spotting likely candidates. A boy that hadn't reached puberty at all would still attract clients, but the real money earners were those whose sexual awakening had already commenced, yet still possessed the looks of an innocent preteen. He zipped the boy's trousers back up and picked him up. Shit he was heavy! A few yards away stood an old range rover and he placed the boy in the back. Joe straightened up, yawned and stretched. Two more hours and he'd be home. He'd stop briefly at the hotel halfway, with free wifi, download the encrypted messages from his clients, get the boy to bed, have a few beers, then an early night for him too! After all, tomorrow was going to be quite a busy day! *** His head hurt and he felt sick. Dominic rolled over and pulled the bed sheets up to his head. They felt different. It took him a few seconds to realize that something was wrong. Not his bed! The light in the corner? Where.? His heart beating faster, he sat up and looked around. Like a hospital. All white. He had to pee! Not just pee but. The light in the corner was actually from another room and he arrived in the small bathroom just in time. Having peed for what seemed ages, he suddenly fell to his knees and vomited violently into the toilet. For what seemed like years, he crouched there, his head throbbing and waves of nausea wracking his young body. Finally, he hauled himself up to the basin and drank eagerly from the tap until finally dragging himself back to the small low bed and falling asleep. It was all a bad dream of course. Any second now and the dream would end and he'd be in his usual bed, his mummy waking him up for school, the smell of toast downstairs, the silly squeals of his young sister as she tried to beat him to the bathroom. But the voice of his mummy never came. He turned over on his right side and screwed his eyes up tight. What a dream! Dim memories of the day before suddenly resurfaced. Then his stomach. He was hungry! Dream or no dream, he was really hungry! He opened his eyes and saw a strange ceiling. The bed felt warm and comfortable, but it wasn't his own! Oh, and his pyjamas were.? He slid his hand down under the sheets and felt his willy. Like all young boys, he gripped it tightly as though reassuring himself that all was well. But.. No pyjamas! But. He ran his hand over his tummy. He was wearing something. A teashirt? Reality hit him hard and he sat up, looking around him. The white room resembled a hospital ward and he expected a nurse to enter at any second. A plastic beaker of orange juice stood on a table next to the bed and he drained it in one go. He blinked and tried to remember. "Mummy?" He couldn't hear a thing. "Daddy? Mummy? Mummy?" He started to cry. What had happened? He remembered walking back from school, helping a man get some bread into his van and..? "Mummy!!" "Hello?" He looked round the room again, wiping tears from his eyes. Apart from the bed and the small table, there was nothing else. No windows, no furniture, nothing. Near one corner was a door. He got out of bed and tried the handle. It wouldn't budge. "Hello? Mummy? Anyone?" He went in the bathroom to pee and remembered throwing up. Had the man done something to him? He'd felt so sick before! Now he felt hungry. Very hungry. He looked around the bathroom, then the main room. Nothing! Where were his clothes? He couldn't remember getting undressed and the teashirt wasn't his. He felt it. Thick white cotton, a bit tight though, and too short. Where on earth were his clothes? He saw something under the bed and crouched down. A pair of brown leather sandals. They definitely weren't his, but they fitted him perfectly. "Hello! Please! Anyone?" He tried the door again, then sat on the bed, head in his hands, sobbing loudly. What was going on? What had happened? He wanted to go home! Please! Suddenly he became aware of something round his neck. He felt it with his fingertips. A thin plastic sort of collar, but with something like wire inside. He tried to find the clasp but couldn't. What was it? How to get it off? "I wouldn't do that if I were you!" He jumped with fright and looked round at the door. He hadn't heard the man open it. The same man as he'd seen at the van, he was sure. Joe smiled. "Whatever you do, don't try to take it off. Could be very dangerous!" He looked at the terrified boy and chuckled. "Hello Dominic. I hope you slept well. Here, you better eat this." Joe handed him a small plate of bread, ham and cheese and placed another large beaker of juice on the table. He squinted at the other one. Yes, the boy had drunk everything. Good! The drugs should calm his stomach and take the edge off his fear. Oh yes, had to keep them quiet! "Who are you?" asked Dominic, his voice trembling. Tears ran down his cheeks as he thrust a large piece of cheese in his mouth. "Can I go home? How do you know who I am? Where's mummy? Is she coming for me?" Joe sighed and sat down on the bed next to Dominic. He gave him a quick hug and kissed his head, laughing at the way the boy froze. The aroma emanating from his young sweaty body was intoxicating. Shit, what a cutie! "I'm going to be honest with you Dominic. Yes, you will go home, and that's a promise, but not for a little while yet." He saw the look of dismay and despair in the boy's eyes. Of course, he wouldn't be going home for at least six months, but the boy didn't have to know that yet! "You see Dominic, we're running a sort of training exercise here and about three weeks ago we picked you to be one of the students. It's a bit complicated and I'm not going to go into too many details." The boy was eating slowly, his eyes on the floor in front of him, trying to take it all in. "But.but nobody said anything." Dominic felt a glimmer of hope. Was this all something to do with the school? Perhaps Mummy and Daddy had forgotten and. Joe guessed what he was thinking. "Nobody knows you're here Dominic. Nobody! It used to be a huge cellar underneath an old house. Then we converted it into a sort of secret place. Like a house underground." He stood up and looked down at the small boy, a sudden feeling of pity for the poor lad. "Look Dominic, you may as well face the truth. You're here whether you like it or not. I know it's going to take some time for it to sink in and you're going to have plenty of crying to get out of your system." Dominic looked at him through a sea of tears. What had he just said? He couldn't go home?? "But..but what course? What's a training course? I don't want to do a course. Why." "The course will last between two and three weeks, or possibly longer or shorter depending on how hard you work. There's another boy already started, Jeremy. He's been here two days now. When the course finishes, you'll be assessed by examiners and awarded grades." He chuckled at the description of his clients. Examiners? Oh that was good! "Then, after the assessments, you'll be allowed to go home." Dominic wiped his eyes and shook his head. "But . but why? I mean, what." Joe leant against the wall and grinned. "The course? Oh well, basically you'll be learning how to be a nice little pleasure boy." "What's one of those?" Dominic asked in a winy voice. He blinked and wiped his nose on his arm. "A pleasure boy?" Joe licked his lips and tried not to laugh. "Well, it's a boy who makes men very happy. Very happy indeed!" He looked at his watch. "Anyway, it's already ten o'clock." He pointed to the plate. "I want every scrap eaten and the plate washed up in the bathroom. I'll be back in exactly one hour and we can get started, okay?" The man turned to go. "B..but I.. I mean." Joe turned. "What?" "I can't find my clothes." "The only clothes you need are those you're wearing" said Joe patiently. The temperature here is quite high and you only need a teashirt. "But I don't have any. any underpants or trousers." Dominic blushed. Joe saw how the boy was sitting, legs together, the plate covering his groin. "They're not allowed during the course" he explained quietly. "You wear a teashirt, and only a teashirt. Now then." He suddenly banged his forehead with his hand. Shit, almost forgot! He looked at Dominic sitting on the bed, a picture of misery. Poor kid suddenly looked a lot younger than his twelve years. "Before I leave, I have to explain about the discipline here." He had the boy's full attention. "I'm a great believer in corporal punishment and you'll be experiencing a great deal of it during the course. To be honest though, it's not a real punishment because it actually forms part of the course itself." Dominic looked confused. "What's colporal punishment?" His high pitched voice shook. "Corporal punishment" Joe corrected him, laughing. "It means like when boys are spanked and caned, that sort of thing. They used to do it a lot when I was at school. Unfortunately they're not allowed to use it any more." Dominic understood. His Dad had often talked about the famous 'six of the best' when he was at school. His Dad almost never spanked him, but he often felt his mother's hand on his backside. "However, the real punishments are far more severe" continued Joe. He pointed to a long metallic object hanging from his belt. "This is an electric stun gun. The pain is excruciating! So be warned!" He paused and fingered a small remote control in his pocket. "The collar you're wearing is a small version of the stun gun. So if you ever refuse to come when I call, I can operate it from here." He showed the scared boy the small orange controller. "Of course, if I ever have to do this, you'll get an extra dose afterwards!" He looked to see if the boy had understood. It had taken him months to get the collars just right and he was proud of his handiwork. The series of tiny lithium batteries and transformer inside the plastic sleeve were only sufficient for about three or four shocks before they'd need replacing, but this was quite enough. Two tiny pieces of wire less than a millimeter long protruded from the plastic just behind the boy's neck. "I'm sorry Dominic, but for your own good, you have to see exactly how it feels. Bear in mind though that the collar isn't as painful as the real thing! Put the plate on the table!" Dominic did as he was told. What did he mean? How could a collar do anything? Why couldn't he go home? Please! The room seemed to explode in light and a wave of pure agony gripped his young body. Every nerve seemed to be on fire. He tried to scream, to plead with the man, but couldn't. Joe watched the boy slide off the bed and fall to the ground, limbs twitching uncontrollably, his face screwed up in pain. "Remember what it feels like! Just remember!" The door clicked shut. From deep within his agony, Dominic heard the sound of a bolt being pulled across. It was two hours, not one, until Dominic heard the door being opened again. Joe entered, another plastic cup of juice in his hand. He grunted with satisfaction. The kid still looked terrified, but the tears had stopped. He sniffed the air. Obviously the boy needed a proper shower! Never mind. Dominic was sat in the same place, on the edge of the bed. He saw the man looking at him and reddened, covering his groin with his hands. "Here, drink this!" He gave him the cup and held out some pills in the other hand. "Take these as well. They'll make you feel better." Dominic took the pills, his hand shaking and swallowed them, taking noisy gulps of the juice. Joe chuckled. Obviously the boy wasn't going to risk another demonstration of the collar! He saw the last pill go down and grinned. The daily drug regime was an important part of the training. Yes, one of them was a Kids multi mineral and vitamin pill, but the others consisted of various weak anti- depressant and sedative type drugs designed to keep the kids calm as well as a small dose of cialis and viagra, a combination that Joe had long discovered ideal for giving young boys the most amazing erections. He looked at his watch. The viagra usually started working after about twenty minutes. The cialis took a bit longer, but lasted the whole day. "Well, I guess you really need a good shower, hmm, but maybe we can go and meet Jeremy first and see how he's getting on." Joe tousled the boy's hair and took the empty cup from him and placed it on the table. "Come on then!" He smiled and offered his hand. He saw Dominic hesitate for a fraction of a second, then stand and take his hand. The cool air wafting over his legs suddenly reminded the boy of his predicament and he stuck his hand in his crotch, his face going bright red. "No Dominic! Your other hand by your side please." He blushed an even deeper shade of red and moved his hand. Joe took him out of the room and down a corridor to a large strong looking door. Fiddling about with a combination padlock, he swung it open and led the boy through, carefully locking it after him. Round a corner and another similar door. Down some steps and suddenly the walls looked cleaner and the floor polished. "Just through here and.." Joe pressed a few buttons above the handle and swung it open. "Come on!" He pushed the boy gently in front of him, admiring his smooth white thighs and firm young buttocks, flared out and accentuated by the tight teashirt. Shit, the kid had a nice bum! A perfect half moon! He felt his cock straining in his trousers and groaned with frustration. Control yourself! He sighed. Randy sod! Dominic walked round the corner into a large living room. No windows, but rugs, pictures, television, furniture and large couches and armchairs made it look comfortable. "Through there!" He felt the man's hand on his shoulder and walked straight on, through another door into a hallway. "What did I tell you about your hands?" Dominic swallowed nervously and moved his hands away from his groin. "Sorry, I." "You use sir when you speak to me" said Joe quietly. "Yes .yes sir..sorry sir." "Touch your toes!" Dominic bit his lip and a tear ran down his cheek. Please ... He saw the look in the man's eyes and bent over. The sight of the boy presenting his large juicy bottom made Joe feel suddenly very hot. Oh fuck, look at that! He ran his hand lightly over the boy's right buttock and gave it a light slap. "Right, now don't do it again. Come on!" Dominic straightened up, the look on his face making Joe laugh. "Don't worry. It's your first day. But they get a lot harder from now on!" "Anyway, this is our bedroom." he said, opening a door. "With en suite bathroom of course." He laughed. He felt like a hotel porter. Dominic went inside. The room was enormous, a large king-sized bed at one end and thick white rugs strewn around. Mirrors decorated most of the walls and there seemed to be security cameras in each corner. He followed the man to the other rooms, a second bathroom and bedroom, small kitchen, storerooms and doors that the man didn't open. Joe nodded at one of them. That one's the Dungeon room" he explained, a thin smile on his face. "I hope you never have to see what's inside!" The next room made Dominic stare with surprise. It looked like an old classroom from some of the programmes he'd seen on television. Two small wooden desks faced a raised platform on which stood a larger desk - the schoolmaster's. Old books on shelves, a globe, blackboard, chalk. He looked around himself in amazement. The far end seemed to be full of lights and video cameras. "Hmm, some of the examiners like to make films" said Joe, grinning. "You know, about schoolboys in the olden days. They have to be as real as possible." The last door was at the end of the corridor. Dominic could hear music and something else, like running or something. Joe pushed it open and the boy's eyes widened. This was the largest room yet! It appeared to be half gym, half living room, exercise machines, tables and cupboards along the walls, a small bed, chairs, cameras on tripods, another door on the right leading to what looked like another bathroom and what appeared to be another room further ahead. The music was coming from a computer on one of the tables. The running noise was from a large electronic treadmill upon which a boy was running fast, panting loudly. Dominic saw the boy was dressed exactly as himself, nothing but a teashirt and sandals. The boy turned his head and looked at him for a second in astonishment, but didn't stop running. Dominic judged him to be about the same age as himself, maybe slightly younger. The boy's arms and legs glistened with sweat. It wasn't this however that caught Dominic's attention. In contrast to the boy's smooth lily white legs, his bottom was bright red! He squinted and saw faint dark lines running across both buttocks. What on earth? Joe walked to a table on the opposite wall and pointed to a computer and documents strewn about. "This is where the course is organized. The day is divided into different time slots and the computer displays the assignment for each slot." He ran his finger down the edge of the screen. "A lot of the assignments have to explained quite carefully, so it will say which folder and file to click on. It's all very straightforward." Joe looked at Jeremy on the treadmill and then back at the computer, pointing at the time displayed. "Another five minutes and he'll be finished." "You see Dominic, the course is designed for two boys, but Jeremy's been on his own for two days." He laughed. "Usually, I only come here in the evening to assess your progress. I'm a busy man, so you won't see me for most of the time, and to be quite frank, the course is quite self-explanatory." He waved to the end of the room and they walked through a small archway into what seemed like a dim annex dominated by what looked like an elaborate workbench, a wide padded surface with a series of wooden slats on adjustable metal supports. "This is the punishment bench" explained Joe, enjoying the look of shock on the boy's face. "As you can see, it's plenty wide enough for two!" He laughed. "Not just for everyday corporal punishments like spankings and things like that" he added quickly. "I don't count those as real punishments because they're part of the course. I use this mostly for caning your bottoms and occasionally for a dose of this" He tapped the long thin metal device in his belt. "You've already felt how the collar feels and as I explained, the collar isn't as powerful as this. Not only that, the electricity works differently depending on where it's applied." He licked his lips. "If it's applied close to a muscle or a bone, like where your collar is for example, the pain goes through your whole body." He ran his finger down the stun gun and tapped the end. "But if it's applied to a soft fleshy part of the body, then all the electricity doesn't travel as far and all the pain gets concentrated in just that one place! I'm afraid to say that Jeremy had a dose yesterday morning and two doses the day before! This morning he was lucky and got away with just a caning. You know something? I think that Jeremy's going to be a very good little boy today!" They heard a ringing noise from the computer. "Well, the first morning exercise session is over" said Joe, clapping his hands. "Come on!" Jeremy was standing next to the treadmill, hands on his knees, face red from exertion. He saw the man coming and stood up straight, hands by his sides, glancing nervously first at Joe, then at Dominic. Joe laughed and quickly checked the reading on the treadmill. "Oh well done! Just over ten miles!" He gave Dominic a hug. "This is Dominic, twelve years old, like you, and ready to start the course." Dominic gazed at the exhausted boy wondering if he'd seen him before. No, not from his school. Jeremy stared at him, his short dark brown straight hair contrasting completely with Dominic's blond curls. They were about the same height, though Jeremy had less puppy fat clinging to him. Dominic's eyes ran down over the boy's teashirt to his groin area. He blushed but stared for a few seconds. Why was his willy so red at the end? It looked sore and. In the first year of puberty, apart from the usual childish experiments with masturbation that all young boys perform under the bedclothes, Dominic had still not paid a great deal to how his little manhood actually looked. Nevertheless, it was obvious that Jeremy had a thicker one than him and the bit at the end wasn't all covered with skin like his was. Joe chuckled and put his arm round Jeremy's shoulders. To Dominic's surprise, the boy turned his head and let the man kiss him on the lips. "Ouch, that still looks sore" said Joe, looking down at the boy's penis. "I hadn't realized just how tight your foreskin was." Dominic watched in horror as the man reached down and took the boy's penis gently in his hand. This was sick! Feelings of revulsion gave way to astonishment. Almost immediately, Jeremy's penis started to stiffen, like a snake raising its head, it rose slowly up till it was horizontal. "Hmm, after your shower, put plenty of cream from the brown tube on it" said Joe, examining the tip closely. "It'll be fine in a few hours." He gave Jeremy another hug. "Oh, and use plenty of jelly next time you wank, okay?" Jeremy nodded. "Yes sir." Dominic stared. What had the man said? "Talking of which" Joe kissed Jeremy's cheek. "Morning specimen?" He tousled the boy's hair and raised his eyebrows. Jeremy ran to the bathroom and returned with a small but wide transparent plastic flask with a red screw-on lid. Joe held it up to the light and sighed. "Not much is there!" He showed the flask to Dominic who squinted and saw about four drops of a whitish liquid on the bottom and sides. "During the course, you have to masturbate at least four times a day" he explained, watching Dominic's face. He laughed. "I mean 'wank'! Come on Dominic, don't pretend! All boys play with themselves. I'm sure you do as well!" Dominic felt his cheeks burning. Nobody had ever mentioned such a private thing before. Even his best friend had never talked about it! He hadn't even realized what was happening till about four months ago. He'd known for years that it felt nice when he played with his thing, but had always stopped when the tingling got too intense and had fallen asleep almost immediately, barely noticing the wet patches on his pyjamas the next morning. But the temptation had been too great. A few more seconds of tingling and a few more of pure ecstasy. The resulting sticky mess on his fingers had worried him at first but he dimly remembered something about this from sex education at school and consequently, made sure to take extra tissues with him to bed. Joe examined the flask again and shook his head. "Try harder next time Jeremy! This isn't enough. Understand?" "Yes sir. Sorry sir." Dominic saw a look of pure terror on the boy's eyes. Joe sighed, trying not to laugh. He knew full well that the poor kid had very little control over how much he spurted, but it was fun making him try. "You see Dominic, when I arrive in the evening, you show me three flasks to prove that you've completed the assignments" he explained. "Then you perform a fourth time in front of me and I assess you." He nodded down at Jeremy's penis, already slowly becoming softer. "Jeremy arrived with quite a tight foreskin that couldn't be pulled back very easily, so we have to make it looser to get through the course." He shrugged. No reason why he should explain. Just that most of his clients preferred it like that. "I think we tried a bit too hard yesterday, so you better be a bit gentle when you wank him later!" Dominic blinked. What had he said? But how.. Joe saw the look of surprise and shook his head. "Sorry, I should have explained. Normally, it's absolutely forbidden for a boy to touch his own penis without permission except for obvious things like going to the toilet. I had to make an exception while Jeremy here was on his own, but now you're together, well." He winked at Dominic and grinned at Jeremy. "I'm sure you'll soon get the hang of it. Besides, everything's written very clearly in the assignments over there." He nodded towards the computer. "Just go to the folder mentioned and click on the file it tells you to." He licked his lips. "I think you'll find the instructions quite graphic enough!" He gazed at Dominic enjoying the confused, scared look in his eyes. "Well Dominic, are you going to be a good boy or.." He patted the nasty looking stun gun. "Do I have to give you a little reminder?" Dominic felt his skin crawl. IHe nodded. "Yes sir, I'll. I'll be good sir." "Glad to hear it!" Joe reached out and took Dominic's penis gently between his thumb and forefinger. The boy froze with terror, not breathing. He felt he was going to be sick. So dirty! So. "Hmm, yes, you are learning!" said Joe, raising his eyebrows. "Excellent!" He rolled the tip of the boy's small penis back and forth. "When I did this to Jeremy two days ago, he ran to the bathroom and tried to lock the door". Joe chuckled, remembering the incident. "Poor old Jeremy learnt two things very quickly. That the bathroom door can't be locked and that having two thousand volts applied to your balls is not a very nice experience! Isn't that right Jeremy?" The boy nodded, his face white. He didn't want to remember that! "Yes sir." "Good!" He looked at Dominic's face and smiled. "Hey Dominic, I do believe you're getting an erection. Does this mean we have to get married?" He laughed at his joke and watched the boy's penis as it slowly lengthened. Dominic looked down, confused and embarrassed. This was disgusting. Why was his willy going hard? Why.? The man's fingers teased the tip and he shuddered as a familiar tingling shot out from his glans. "I'm pleased to say Dominic, that you're not going to have the same problem as young Jeremy here." He carefully eased Dominic's foreskin back up and over the ridge of his small blue glans. "It's not very tight at all, just that your foreskin is quite long and your penis very small when it's soft." Dominic felt a mixture of disgust, embarrassment and.. His penis was sticking out horizontally and the nice things the man's fingers were doing made him breathe faster. A tinny electronic alarm sounded on Joe's watch and he released the boy's semi- erect cock and groaned. "Oh shit, I have to go. Business beckons!" He tousled Dominic's hair and kissed him, then Jeremy. "Okay boys, I've reset the assignments." He nodded at Jeremy. "Jeremy understands. So in fact Jeremy will be repeating some of the second day and you'll be skipping the first day, okay Dominic?" He looked at the computer. "Written assignments to be placed in a neat pile there, and the confession list on top - if you need one!" he laughed. "He pointed at the small cameras in each corner of the ceiling. "I'll be keeping an eye on you, so no cheating" he said jokingly. "Okay, be good!" The boys heard first one, then two doors open and close. Dominic's mouth felt dry. "What's a confession list?" he asked shyly. Jeremy took a deep breath. "It's a list of all the things you think you did wrong or you think you didn't do properly, that sort of thing" he answered after a pause. "It's so he knows we're being honest and so if we tell him before he finds out, he might not. you know.might not be so angry and won't punish you as much." "Oh." "It's really important" said Jeremy, sounding scared and remembering the last few days. "Really important!" A loud buzzing suddenly reverberated around the room making Dominic jump. Jeremy ran over to the computer. "Usually we're allowed five minutes to read the instructions" he said, scanning the words that had appeared. Dominic saw him shake his head. "Oh, not again!" "What?" "Pain threshold, day two!" Jeremy's hands instinctively rubbed his bottom. "Why so soon. Not fair!" Dominic looked at the image on the screen, not understanding. "What's pain threshold mean?" "You'll find out." He read the words again. "Thirty each, nice and slow, change over when you hear the signal." He pointed to a small bed near the wall. "Quickly!" Dominic watched nervously while the boy pulled the bed away from the wall. "Come on! Help me!" Between the bed and the wall lay a huge cylindrical pillow that reminded Dominic of the pillow his parents kept at the top of the bed for decoration. But this one was bigger and much heavier. He helped Jeremy lift it onto the bed. Why put right in the middle though? He looked at Jeremy, confused. "You first, come on!" "What?" Dominic started to feel scared. "On the bed! Get over the pillow! Legs one side, arms the other!" The sound of a bell emanated from the computer. Jeremy looked close to tears. "We're already late. Quickly!" Dominic draped himself over the large pillow and saw some black Velcro straps attached to the middle. "What?" "Like this!" Jeremy was already pulling the straps, attaching one pair to Dominic's legs, just above the knees, the others to his arms. "No! What are you doing?" Dominic started to panic. "I don't want to do it! I don't want.." "We've got to!" Jeremy almost screamed. "If we put it on the confession list that we were late starting, he'll probably let us off, but if he checks the video and sees us wasting time, then." He swallowed nervously. "As long as we're honest, the worse he'll do is give us the cane, but if he thinks we're cheating, he'll use that. that thing!" He stopped, not wanting to remember. "Where d'you think I got these marks on my bum from? I got the cane this morning !" Dominic felt the straps pulled tight and started to cry. This wasn't happening! "Let me get off..please!" Jeremy ran to a cupboard a few feet away and opened the door. At the top hung a long row of paddles, each with a number written on the handle, ranging from what looked like cheap table tennis bats to larger and heavier implements. "Paddle number two! This one!" He took one of the smaller paddles out and gripped it tight, then ran back to Dominic. "Stick your bum out!" "What?" "It's the rule! Stick it out!" Jeremy glanced at the security camera closest to him and bit his lip. The man would see he was trying, surely? Dominic rested his tummy on the large pillow and thrust his buttocks out. 'SLAP' "Oww! Stop it! That hurt!" He grabbed the bedsheet and felt tears dropping from his eyes. "I doesn't hurt that much!" Jeremy counted to ten and slapped the paddle down as hard as he could on Dominic's left buttock, ignoring the yelp of pain. "This is a really light one. You should see the others!" "Oww, not so hard!" sobbed Dominic, another slap making him wriggle. "Why so hard? Owwww!" "Cos that's the rule!" Jeremy continued the slaps, taking care to ensure that he covered all of Dominic's large bottom. "We have to hit as hard as we can!" Dominic shook his head, hardly able to believe what was happening. "After the initial shock, his bottom seemed to have got used to the slaps and although each one was painful, they were just about bearable. Soon his backside was glowing, as though next to a powerful electric fire. "Only another five!" A bell sounded and Jeremy swung the paddle faster, hoping the man wouldn't mind if the last ones were applied a bit faster. Best to write it on the confession list though, just in case! "Right, change! Quickly!" He undid the straps holding Dominic onto the pillow and pulled him up. "Come on, now me! Don't worry about doing the straps! Quickly!" Dominic found himself standing with the paddle in his hand, while Jeremy lay across the pillow, bottom thrust up. "I.I..what..?" "Thirty slaps, really hard, count to ten between each one!" Jeremy shouted, an edge of panic in his voice. "Do it!" He glanced round angrily. Stupid idiot! He'd get them both into trouble! He'd already had a dose of this paddle earlier that morning and he doubted that Dominic could hit him harder than the man had. Dominic wiped his eyes and looked first at the paddle, then at Jeremy's bottom, thrust upwards almost obscenely as if begging for him to start. Now he had the paddle in his hands, he could see that it was actually a rather thin and light piece of plastic. Much lighter than he'd realized. SLAP SLAP SLAP "No! Count to ten! Not so fast!" "Sorry!" Dominic counted, the glow in his own buttocks starting to fade. The slaps came more slowly, Dominic bringing his hand above his head to put as much force into it as he could. Why wasn't Jeremy making any noise? Already used to it after only two days? Between the boy's thighs, he could see the back of his scrotum peeping at him and he shivered, wondering if he'd looked like this as well. Just so rude! Yet.interesting? The buzzer sounded and Dominic continued until the thirtieth slap. Crikey, his bum was so red! "Right, now we have to put the paddle back and push the bed back against the wall!" cried Jeremy, rolling off the pillow. The boys rearranged the bed and Jeremy looked anxiously at the computer screen, his buttocks throbbing. What now? "Oh, great, a ten minute break, then.." He glanced at Dominic and blushed. "then we have to . you know.then a shower and then lunchtime" "What?" Jeremy avoided his eyes. "We have to wank each other and. you know..collect the stuff, like he showed you!" He shivered. The man had made him do it himself. The thought of another boy doing it to him was sick!" It says here, play file two in folder one." He clicked on the folder and Dominic saw the screen fill with small icons, all numbered. Jeremy clicked on the second and a windows movie player opened. They gazed at it wide eyed, recognizing the room where they were. Two young boys, one about the same age as themselves, the other slightly younger looking were in front of a low table, an open plastic flask placed on top. The older boy stood upright, hands on his head, legs apart while the younger boy knelt to one side, his hands teasing his friend's privates. The camera moved closer and they heard giggling. Dominic felt sick. How could they enjoy it? The little boy's hands was moving all over the place, tickling the other's testicles and teasing the tip of his penis. Occasionally he'd use his other hand to caress the boy's bottom, fingers delving into the deep cleft between his buttocks. Within seconds, the boy was sporting an erection and the small boy laughed and started rubbing the tip, sliding the foreskin back and forth, faster and faster. There was a gasp from the other boy, "quick!" and drops of semen flew into the flask the small boy now held ready. A few seconds passed and they watched as every drop was coaxed out. The scene ended with the small boy popping the tip of his friend's now exhausted willy in his mouth for a second, then kissing it. "My turn now!" they heard him say. Dominic looked down, embarrassed. "We. we don't really have to.we don't.. do we?" "Don't be stupid! What d'you think?" A sudden recollection of being over the punishment bench, the man. that metal thing.. just there. the pain!! "If we don't, we both get punished!" Without a word, Jeremy brought two empty flasks, noting with surprise that they already had their names written on. He placed them on the same small table they'd seen in the film and swallowed, unsure of how to proceed. "I..I'll do you first if you want" he said quietly. Dominic felt cold. He nodded, his throat suddenly very dry and legs shaking. Perhaps if he shut his eyes.? He put his hands on his head and opened his legs a bit wider. This was not happening! Suddenly, fingers all over his balls! He gasped and tried to stay still. It tickled! Now all over the insides of his thighs, then his balls again. A finger tracing lines on his bottom, then between his cheeks and. He felt a finger touch his bumhole and yelped. Then suddenly they were all over his willy. His willy was.! He couldn't believe it! It was already sticking up! Jeremy watched with amazement as the small willy in his hand slowly hardened and felt the bulbous head pushing its way through the folds of skin as if seeking air. Despite his own disgust at being made to do such a dirty thing, he couldn't help feel a certain amount of excitement. Why was Dominic's willy so fast to respond? He gently slid the foreskin over the glans and immediately felt it stiffen even more. The musky, sweaty aroma emanating from the boy's private parts seemed to enhance, not diminish his excitement and he put his head a bit closer. The foreskin was moving freely now and he moved it back and forth along the boy's rock hard manhood, his other hand delving between firm sweaty thighs, teasing the back of his scrotum, moving up between his buttocks, pushing against a tight hot little bumhole and. "Ohh, I think..I ..ooooh.!" Jeremy blinked and grabbed the flask, holding it in front of the gasping boy, just in time, as a few drops of semen landed on the sides. Dominic's legs shook as a powerful orgasm wracked his young body and he tensed his buttocks, conscious of a deeper, more intense feeling coming from somewhere inside his bum. The mist cleared and he watched as if half asleep as the boy squeezed another drop from him. "Wow, that was quite fast" said Jeremy, screwing the red lid on the flask. He remembered the first time, two days ago, the man making him wank himself while he stood and watched. That had been horrible! He sighed and held the end of Dominic's penis again, making the boy jump. Blushing slightly, he slid his lips over the glans just for a second before kissing the end. Without a word, they changed places, Jeremy trying to avoid looking at Dominic, embarrassed at what he'd just done. "Didn't the man say to use a cream or jelly or something?" Dominic asked, suddenly remembering. Jeremy groaned. "I forgot. Yes, it's called KY. In the bathroom." Dominic returned with the tube and Jeremy suddenly felt small fingers on his young willy, massaging the cream gently into the sore skin at the tip. His mouth opened wide and he held his breath. Oh this was..! Dominic stared. Jeremy's willy had reacted to his touch as if suddenly woken from a deep sleep and was already going hard. The skin at the end looked so sore! He Put some more of the strange jelly on his fingers and slowly moved Jeremy's foreskin back and forth on his glans. The boy's penis immediately lengthened some more and rose up till the tip was pointing almost vertically. Dominic watched with amazement as it lengthened even more and for a second felt a twinge of envy. Despite Dominic's tender massaging, the boy's foreskin refused to slip over the ridge of his glans. Should he try and push it back harder or.? Jeremy suddenly felt a small hand caress his balls and the dam burst. "Ah! Ah!" It took a second or so for Dominic to realize what was happening and he fumbled with the flask on the table, his other hand tightly gripping the boy's throbbing penis. Two drops of semen hit the back of his hand and he squealed. Two more he managed to get on the sides of the flask, a third right at the bottom. Putting the flask back on the table, he looked up and saw that Jeremy had his eyes closed and was breathing heavily, moaning quietly. He licked his lips, grimaced and put the boy's penis in his mouth for a few seconds. Yuck! It tasted horrible! He remembered the instructions and kissed the tip, noting how it was still quite hard. His own had gone down almost immediately. Jeremy's seemed to want to have more! Slowly Jeremy came back down to earth. "Did. did you get it all?" he asked, anxiously. "All of it?" Dominic nodded. Why was he so worried. "Yes, I think so. Look!" He held up the flask and wiped his hand on his teashirt. "Got some on my hand. Ugh!" Jeremy looked at the flask, then Dominic. "Why didn't you put it in the flask?" he asked, his voice louder. "You wasted some! Why didn't you get it all?" Dominic looked at him, confused. "But there is some. Look!" He held up the flask again. Jeremy groaned and looked close to tears. Okay, it was partly his fault. He hadn't explained. "The man's really strict about this" he said, sinking to his knees. "He checks every flask carefully and said that all the stuff.. you know, the stuff .. that comes out, has to go inside. He calls it Boy juice. We have to try and make a bit more come out every day and if he thinks we're not trying, we get a Ipecial punishment." He shivered. He had no idea what the man meant, but guessed it would be something awful. "We're not allowed to waste or lose any at all! If any does get spilt, we're supposed to lick it up straight away!" Dominic looked at the back of his hand, then at his teashirt. He quickly glanced at the camera in the corner and felt his heart sink. "B..but if we say sorry, you know, in that confession list thing. That'll be alright, won't it? If we tell the truth I mean, you know." Jeremy shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know. We can try." He shook his head. "But I'm pretty sure we'll get the cane for this!" Dominic looked at him uneasily, remembering the marks on Jeremy's bottom. "What? When he comes back?" "No, tomorrow morning. He's always friendly in the evening. Punishments are always the next day, just before he leaves." "Does it hurt a lot?" "Depends which cane he uses and how angry he is. So far, I've had it every day! I got six strokes this morning and it really stung!" He paused. "Better the cane though than. you know. the electric thing!" He looked sick. "That's a hundred times worse!" "Why d'you get the cane?" Jeremy blushed. "Cos I didn't try hard enough to please him last night and this morning!" He shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it. You'll see." Dominic picked up the flasks. "Shall I put these back in the bathroom?" "Yeah." Jeremy stood up. His tummy rumbled. So hungry! Dominic ran back. "What does he do with the flasks?" he asked. "Throw them away?" "No." Jeremy shook his head. "We have to wash them and use them again tomorrow." "What, when he's looked at them?" "Not right away." Jeremy shuddered. "He says that boy juice is special and can't be wasted. He says it's good for you. He'll check to see how much we've made, then we have to lick it all from his fingers." Dominic screwed his face up. "Ugh! No way! I'm not doing that!" "Oh yeah, sure!" said Jeremy sarcastically. "You have to do it! Then you have to say thank you and look like you mean it, or.." He took a deep breath. "Look Dominic, you have to do everything he says! I mean everything! If you don't, or even if you don't do it fast enough, he calls it disobedience and you get punished with that. that electric thing." He bit his lip and Dominic saw tears in his eyes. "I don't want another one of those! I can't even think about it!" Dominic looked puzzled. "But he wouldn't punish you as well, I mean, if it was me who." Jeremy nodded. "He told me that we work as a team, or something like that. It doesn't matter whose fault something is. Both boys get the same punishment - always! No exceptions!" His tummy rumbled again and he jumped up. "Come on! Shower, then we're allowed to eat!" They showered together and Jeremy showed where the clean teashirts were kept. "We change after every shower" he explained. "Oh, and you have to wash everywhere!" He looked embarrassed. "I mean right up your bum as well. You know, inside your.your hole!" Drying themselves as fast as possible, Dominic waited while Jeremy squeezed some white cream out of a brown tube and spread it carefully over his sore foreskin, eyes widening in surprise as his friend's penis immediately started to rise. Jeremy shook his head and blushed slightly. "Always does that!" he said, embarrassed. They ran to the kitchen and Dominic got a quick lesson in how to use the microwave. It appeared that the simple cheese and ham sandwiches stored in the large freezer were all labeled with numbers and preparation took only a few minutes. "Keep listening for the computer!" said Jeremy, as they finished. "We usually get about an hour break I think, but you never know!" They threw away the paper plates and cups, wiped the table and checked the sink. "He sometimes checks the kitchen" explained Jeremy, looking around him. "He said we have to keep everything perfectly clean and tidy." He scanned the table and other surfaces. Even one small crumb could result in a punishment. After three days, he had a good idea of how the man's mind worked. He wasn't sure, but the man might see it as 'disobedience'! He shivered. Dominic followed him back to the large room. "I saw like a nice living room when I came here" he said. "With a television. Are we allowed to watch it?" "Yeah, but only when we've finished everything and the computer says so" replied Jeremy. "There's no real programmes or anything, but loads of DVDs. We have to be there when he comes back. You'll see." He looked at the screen. "We've got another five minutes, so if you need the loo, better go now!" Dominic shook his head. "No, it's okay." "Well, just remember that when you go for.. you know..a number two." His face reddened. ".. you have to use the bidet and wash yourself really well afterwards. I mean 'really' well!" "What's a bidet?" "That thing next to the shower that looks like a toilet. You sit on it and wash your bum. There's a long thing there with soft foam that looks a bit looks like a bottle washer. You have to . to stick it up as far as you can and wash yourself, then wash the thing and dry it. Do it properly. He checks!" Jeremy shuddered and watched the screen. "The minute countdown's starting" he said. "Look!" Dominic saw the numbers and looked around him. "There's no clock though" he said. "Not on the computer or in the room. How do we know what time it is?" Jeremy thought for a second. It was true. He had no idea of the time. "Dunno. I suppose it's lunchtime, so must be about one or two o'clock." He looked at the screen. The assignments immediately after lunch break were usually easy ones. Please, not another running exercise! They read the words that suddenly appeared. "Twenty minute assignment, folder two, file three" said Jeremy. He clicked on the file and they watched a video with the same two boys as before kissing and stroking each other. Dominic felt sick. "This is disgusting!" After about a minute, he watched as the smaller boy started walking around the other one, kissing and stroking his chest and back. He reached the buttocks and covered them with kisses. To Dominic's amazement and disgust, the camera zoomed in as the lad pulled the buttocks apart and appeared to be thrusting his tongue deep between them, low appreciative moans emanating from his friend. The boy turned and the kisses continued, each thigh, then higher till he reached the genitals. The taller boy already had a rock hard erection and sighed with pleasure as his balls were licked and kissed, till finally reaching the obvious goal, his friend engulfed the throbbing penis in his mouth, moving his head back and forth for a few seconds, then releasing it. "My turn" they heard him giggle. The video ended and the loud buzzer sounded. "I. I'll do you first" said Jeremy, a note of panic in his voice. He put his mouth close to Dominic's ear. "Just do it, okay? It's not that bad!" He put his arms round Dominic and kissed his cheeks, then his mouth. "Let's do this really well" he whispered. "Keep him happy!" Trying to copy what he'd seen in the film, he continued kissing Dominic everywhere, hoping it was more or less the same as in the film. He reached Dominic's bottom and pulled the boy's firm buttocks apart with his fingers, flicking the puckered dark hole with his tongue. Dominic jumped as if stung. The feeling had been so.. He shook his head. Disgusting! Yes, disgusting. But.. He took a deep breath and felt Jeremy swivel round to his front. The small hands running over him had made him tense up at first but he was finally starting to calm down. He kept his eyes firmly shut, not wanting to see what Jeremy was doing. Soft lips were all over his small testicles and he yelped as a frisson of electricity seemed to zap through him. Then suddenly a hot mouth engulfing his willy. He felt his legs shake slightly and put his hands on Jeremy's head, as if to keep him there. A tongue teased the tip and he moaned quietly with pleasure. A bell sounded. It was over. As if in a dream, they changed roles, avoiding eye contact, embarrassed at what they were doing. Jeremy stood still as Dominic copied what he'd just done, his mind trying to make sense of the strange feelings running through him, fear, disgust, yet something else. It hadn't been that bad, had it? "Ohh! Ohh!" He moved his legs further apart allowing Dominic more access to his balls. The feeling was just.! Now his cock was in the boy's mouth and he looked down in astonishment as Dominic bobbed his head back and forth, making small grunting noises. Oh this felt nice! So nice! A familiar tingling was growing in intensity and he suddenly realized what was going to happen. No! Mustn't! Please let the buzzer sound! Please! The loud buzzing sound from the computer made him jump and he pulled his pulsating manhood from Dominic's mouth and sank to his knees. Another few seconds and ..! What would the man have said if.? He shivered and felt his willy shrinking rapidly. "Five minute break" he said, seeing the words appear on the screen. He shook his head and took a deep breath. Dominic sat on the floor cross-legged. He had a good idea of what had nearly happened and looked at the floor, his face red. "I didn't make it sore, did I?" he asked shyly. "Sorry." Jeremy looked puzzled for a second, then grinned and looked down at his willy. "No, it's alright." He paused. "Anyway, that cream helped a lot I think." "It's quite big as well" said Dominic, looking at his own shriveled specimen. "Well, bigger than mine anyway." Jeremy shrugged. "Wait till you see the man's! His is really long!" Dominic looked at him in surprise. "He showed you his willy? Disgusting! Why?" For a few seconds, his new friend gazed at him as if seeing him for the first time. "Why d'you think?" he replied, drily. The penny dropped and Dominic's mouth opened wide. Not one of the brightest boys in class, he had never caught on very fast. "B..but.. I mean, what.what d'you have to do?" He suddenly felt quite sick. "You'll see" said Jeremy quietly. He shut his eyes for a few seconds, trying not to think about his first night there. "Just do exactly what he says! Exactly!" He shuddered. "He calls his.you know.his stuff Man juice, you know, like ours is Boy juice but..but there's loads of it and.." He wiped his mouth and grimaced. "You have to swallow it really fast before more comes, and pretend to like it and then say thank you afterwards. He says we're very lucky to have his Man juice every day!" Jeremy shook his head slowly. "Just do it Dominic! Oh and definitely be careful not to miss any, even a drop! He's really strict about that!" Dominic felt light headed. He really couldn't believe all this. It wasn't happening. "Oh no!" Jeremy was looking at the screen. "Thirty minutes exercise" he read out loud. "Treadmill ten miles or bicycle 20 miles." He pointed to the exercise machines along the wall "You do the treadmill. I already did it this morning!" Dominic ran over to the machine and Jeremy showed him how it worked. "Really easy. Start here, increase speed and so on. Just watch the number of miles here and keep an eye on the time." The next thirty minutes were silent save for the whirring of plastic and metal, and the loud panting of two exhausted boys. A buzzer sounded and they ran back to the computer, bodies covered in sweat, Jeremy quickly checking that Dominic had managed the full ten miles. "Looks okay" he said, pointing at the readings. "He always checks!" The words on the screen meant nothing to him. "Insertion of BP number one, followed by twenty minute rest period. BP number one on top shelf of cupboard." He followed the instructions on the screen and clicked on the file. Their eyes widened with astonishment. The video showed two boys running to the cupboard, which Jeremy recognized immediately, and returning with strange looking carrot shaped objects with one end flat and wider than the rest. One boy quickly ran to the bathroom and brought the tube of slippery jelly they'd used earlier. The camera zoomed in close as the giggling boys inserted their buttplugs, leaving nothing to the imagination, and Dominic shook his head in disgust. "I don't believe it! That is just so.. Ugh! Why are they doing that? It's.!" Jeremy took a deep breath. "Yeah, but at least it doesn't look too difficult and. and we do get a rest period afterwards!" He ran to the cupboard. "Bring that jelly stuff!" he shouted back. The cupboard was one of the tallest and he'd never looked in it before. The top two shelves were filled with neat lines of rubber buttplugs, each one identified with a number etched into the base. The ones he sought were on the left and he reached up on tiptoe to take them. He looked at the rest of them in horror. There appeared to be ten sizes in all and the largest, the number tens, were at least three times bigger than the ones in his hand! The rest of the cupboard was full of weird objects that he didn't recognize. The next few minutes passed in silence, occasionally punctuated by short grunts of discomfort as the boys copied what they'd seen on the computer, Dominic having to try three times before he successfully managed to push the plug inside him. They looked at each other, embarrassed, and Dominic felt a tear run down his cheek. "It feels horrible! Why do we have to do it though?" Jeremy shrugged. "We just do it, that's all. Maybe the man just wants to test us. Dunno." He checked the instructions on the screen. "Says we have to walk around to get used to them and take them out after twenty minutes. Come on!" They walked slowly around, glancing quickly at the security cameras. Jeremy wasn't sure if the man was watching them but he'd learned over two days not to take any chances. The twenty minutes were soon up. The buzzer sounded and words appeared on the screen. "Remove, wash and dry the plugs" read Dominic. "At last!" Removing them turned out to be almost as strange an experience as inserting the things and Dominic screwed his face up as he slowly pulled it out. "Ugh, awful!" Quickly washing and drying them in the bathroom, Jeremy returned them to the cupboard. "What's next?" he shouted at Dominic, already watching the computer. "Something about measurements" said Dominic, squinting at the screen. "Fill in form A, answering all questions very carefully in best handwriting" he read. "All equipment required will be found in the drawers next to the bed. Time allowed 40 minutes. Marks awarded for accuracy and neatness. A score of less than nine out of ten will result in six strokes of the cane!" Jeremy looked in the pile of paper on the table and found the forms. "Come on!" The forms were straightforward. Grabbing a pen each, the boys filled in their names, date of birth, addresses, schools and similar information required. "Write really neatly!" warned Jeremy. "We both get punished, remember!" The next questions were concerning weight and height and they found the scales and tape measure in one of the drawers. "I'll measure you twice" said Jeremy, making his friend stand against the wall. "We have to be sure!" Other questions followed, waist, chest, shoe size, even inside leg measurements, with clear illustrations depicting exactly how to perform them. Turning over the page, Jeremy blushed and pointed at the drawings next to the questions that illustrated exactly how to perform the task. . "Penis measurements. Smallest length when soft. Maximum length when hard" he read. "At maximum length, the foreskin must be pulled right back or the test will automatically be failed." His heart dropped. "But the man knows I'm trying" he said miserably. "it's not my fault it's so tight!" Dominic shrugged and waited while Jeremy fumbled about with the tape measure, jumping slightly ashis tiny manhood was measured. "One and three quarter inches" said Jeremy, writing it down carefully on the paper. "And I'm..." He quickly held the tape measure along his own willy, "two and a half inches." He looked at Dominic. "D'you want to check?" "No, it's alright" Dominic looked away, embarrassed. Why did they have to do this. Why? "Well I suppose we have to measure them.. you know.. hard..so.." He looked at his penis and bit his lip. "But I don't know if I can .you know.pull the skin all the way back. It feels horrible!" It suddenly dawned on Dominic that if Jeremy failed, then he would too! "Oh come on! I'll get that jelly stuff. You have to do it!" He brought the tube of KY and spread some over his own little willy before handing it to Jeremy. "Come on, put lots on!" He blushed and looked away while his friend did the same. Dominic felt his friend's small fingers on his balls and froze for a few seconds before doing the same to Jeremy, caressing first his testicles, then his penis. He felt himself going hard almost immediately and frowned. It was weird. Why did their willies always react so quickly? Jeremy's was already rock hard and was almost vertical! He took a deep breath. Yes, what they were doing was so disgusting and sick. but he couldn't deny the amazing feeling and familiar tingling that slowly grew stronger and stronger. He flinched slightly as his foreskin was gently pulled back and started doing the same to Jeremy, sliding the tight skin over the ridge of his swollen glans. Jeremy screwed his face up and tried not to wriggle as sensitive bluey skin that had never seen light before was suddenly revealed. This felt so awful! It was only the other, nicer feelings from the other things the fingers were doing that made it bearable. He opened his eyes and looked first at Dominic's willy, then his own. "I.. think that's it, isn't it?" Dominic nodded and watched as Jeremy quickly measured himself, placing the metal end of the tape measure against his scrotum and running it along the underside of his erection. "Five and a half inches" he said. "Here check it!" He handed the tape measure to Dominic and looked away as his friend repeated the measurement. "I make it five and three quarters." Dominic swallowed. "I think it went a bit longer when I was measuring it." "Yeah, okay." Jeremy wrote down the figures quickly. "Come on, now you!" Dominic gasped as Jeremy's fingers resumed their teasing and felt the room swaying. Oh this was so.! His willy felt like it wanted to. He grabbed the tape and measured himself. "Er.I make it five inches..I think." "Okay, let's check." Jeremy took the tape and felt Dominic flinch as he ran the tape measure along his willy. "No, it's five and a quarter" he said after a few seconds." He shrugged. "See, not a big difference between yours and mine!" Dominic watched as the figures were written on the sheet. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it again. Yes, there was only a half inch difference in length but Jeremy's was quite a bit thicker than his! He saw Jeremy reading the next few lines. He looked shocked. "No! That's not fair! Why? Just not fair!" He showed Dominic what was written. "Look what it says here! 'A maximum length of less than six inches will result in three strokes of the cane.' But why? It's not our fault. We're only twelve. We're not grown ups!" He looked close to tears. "We can't make them longer than they are!" Dominic scanned the text anxiously. "What if we write it on the confession list thing? I mean.." Jeremy sniffed and wiped a tear from his eye. "We can try, I suppose." Seeing that they still had a few minutes, Jeremy grabbed the confession list he knew would be next to the computer and started writing. He showed the list to Dominic. "Is that everything so far?" "Yeah, think so." He read the list again. Had they forgotten anything? The buzzer sounded and Jeremy groaned. "Another pain threshold test! Paddle number three, twenty slaps." He felt his bottom. "At least it's only twenty, and not thirty. Come on then!" Following the buzzer at the end of twenty minutes, the boys were dismayed that there was no break offered them. Dominic examined the screen, hands rubbing his bright red buttocks. A series of pictures on the screen showed them the bending and stretching exercises they had to do with a reminder that the entire thirty minute assignment was being filmed for assessment. Although he had no idea of the time, Jeremy guessed what would be next. The computer screen proved him to be correct and he fetched the plastic flasks to collect their next specimens. Dominic paid particular attention to catching every drop this time but was mortified to find that he himself only managed to put two small drops in the bottom of the flask. "It's your first day, so it'll probably be okay" said Jeremy, examining Dominic's miniscule contribution. "The man said that the more we do it, the more boy juice we make. A shower followed and a change into clean teashirts. They heard the buzzer and rushed back to the computer. "We've got to watch a video" said Jeremy, kneeling on the floor. "Probably the same as yesterday. We're supposed to watch it twice, then go to the living room and do the same when he arrives." Dominic watched in silence, mesmerized by the way the boys in the film behaved, their happy laughter, giggling and the way they teased the man on the couch. The scene changed and he watched in disgust as the man made them perform and.Ugh! The final scene was the worst and he felt the colour drain from his cheeks. "That's just so. so horrible!" he said, looking at Jeremy, mouth wide open. "So sick!" Jeremy blushed and then shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, but better this than getting that electric thing used on you! Look, don't think. Just do it! Whatever he says! Most of the stuff he makes you do is disgusting, but at least it doesn't hurt." He looked at his friend nervously. "Please Dominic! You don't want a dose of that thing, believe me! Remember that if you get it, I get it as well!" They watched the film again, as per instructions, then went along the corridor to the large living room. Jeremy scrabbled about for a few seconds in a box full of DVDs and pulled one out. "Tom and Jerry?" Dominic nodded and sat on the large white leather couch. "Yeah, okay." The DVD started and Jeremy sat next to Dominic, reminding him to keep his knees apart like the boys in the film. "I don't know when he'll arrive" he whispered anxiously. "Better do exactly like in the film. You know. keep our things hard and." Dominic nodded his mouth dry. He felt Jeremy's fingers on his penis and gasped. A few seconds later he slid his arm through his friend's and did the same. The boys in the film had both had erections when the man had arrived. They were on the fourth cartoon when they heard the sound of doors being unlocked. "Remember! Just like in the film!" said Jeremy, a look of terror on his face. "Try to look really happy!" The man walked in and stopped at the sight of the two boys on the couch. He clapped his hands in delight. "Oh you beautiful things!" Jeremy jumped up and ran to him, Dominic following, trying hard not to show his fear. He felt his heart beating faster. "Hello sir" said Jeremy, flinging his arms round the man. He lifted his face and Dominic watched in disgust as they kissed, their lips and tongues entwined. The man turned to him and did the same, Dominic trying hard to pretend it wasn't happening. "So how have you been?" asked Joe, sitting on the couch. He held their hands and examined them as they stood meekly to attention in front of him. "We've been very good sir, haven't we Dominic?" said Jeremy, cheekily. "Honestly sir!" "Please to hear it." Joe let go of their hands and teased their erections. Dominic gasped and Joe laughed. "I bet you've been keeping these busy, haven't you?" he said, grinning. "Perhaps you can show me all your specimens now, hmm? Go and get them!" The boys rushed out and returned in less than thirty seconds, carrying the plastic flasks. Joe raised his eyebrows. "Where's third one Dominic?" he asked, pretending to be puzzled. "You should have three specimens each." Dominic felt ice cold. "I.I don't know sir. I mean.I think I wasn't here at the beginning sir.. I mean when Jeremy did the first one sir and." He looked down, confused. Joe tried not to laugh. How he enjoyed teasing them! "The rules are quite clear Dominic! Officially, this counts as disobedience and I think you know what that means!" He saw the look of terror on their faces and shrugged. "I agree that you started late today, but rules are rules." Jeremy looked close to tears and Joe laughed. "But since it's your first day here, I'm willing to give you a chance and let you off with a spanking. Okay?" Dominic looked at the ground, unsure of what to say. Jeremy nodded his head enthusiastically. "Yes please sir. Thank you sir! I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again sir!" Joe held up his hand and laughed. "okay, okay. Come on then Dominic, get that naughty bottom of yours over my lap!" He pulled the young boy gently over his lap. "Hmm, what a nice bum you have!" Dominic felt strong hand prising his buttocks apart and flinched as a fingertip prodded his hole. "Tight as a duck's arse" said Joe, laughing. "Not to worry though. The buttplugs will srt that out! Okay Dominic, keep still and not a sound!" A hard slap reverberated round the room and Dominic grit his teeth, a tear running down his cheek. Owww! Joe slapped slowly and methodically, working from the top down to the boy's thighs, spanking each buttock in turn. He grunted with satisfaction as the boy remained silent. Yes, he'd definitely chosen well! The boy was not only obedient, but had plenty of willpower. "Okay, now you Jeremy!" He lifted Dominic off his lap and waited while Jeremy draped himself across his knees. Dominic clutched his sore bottom and sobbed quietly as the man spanked Jeremy for a few minutes, occasionally pausing to stroke the boy's thighs. "Right, I think that's enough." Joe lifted the boy up and nodded at Dominic. I'll let you both have five minutes to get me another sample while I pour myself a drink." He stood up and walked to a cabinet against the wall. "Better hurry!" The boys ran out and Joe poured himself a whisky and removed the DVD from the television. He yawned and checked the time. What a day! Another five clients wanting to make bookings and asking for details of the boys. Randy bastards! The sound of small feet from the corridor and the boys ran in the room, Dominic carrying a flask. Joe chuckled. From the redness of the boy's penis, Jeremy had not been too gentle! "Good boys. Flask on the table with the others. That's right.. Now then, let's have a look." Joe sat in the middle of the couch and picked up the flasks with Dominic's name on. The boys knelt on the floor in front of the man and watched as he opened the flasks and examined each one carefully, shaking his head. "Okay for the first day I suppose, but I expect a bit more than this tomorrow" he said at last. He used two fingers to scoop up as much of the sticky fluid as he could find and offered one to Jeremy, smiling as the boy sucked it greedily. "Thank you sir." "Now you!" Dominic closed his eyes and forced himself to suck the man's finger. "I.er thank you sir" he said quietly. Joe turned his attention to the other flasks and whistled softly. "I expected more than this Jeremy" he said, shaking his head. "I assume you mentioned it on the confession list?" Jeremy nodded quickly. "Yes sir, and I'm very sorry sir. We.. we had a little accident sir and we. Dominic spilt some sir and he didn't know. I mean." "Well I look forward to reading your full explanation later" said Joe in a friendly tone. "If I'm satisfied, I may reduce the number of strokes from six to three. In any case, one of the assignments tomorrow will help you make a lot more." He paused, thinking of the prostate massage exercises on the computer. "Anyway, here you are!" The boys licked the semen from his fingers and thanked him again. Joe grinned. "Good boys. Right, go and wash the flasks and leave them to dry. While I'm reading your confession list and checking your written assignment, you can go and have something to eat. I'm sure you're hungry by now." He yawned again and smiled. "Then maybe we should all have an early night, hmm?" *** A small light shone from the ensuite bathroom, providing just enough to provide illumination for anyone wishing to make their way there during the night. Dominic woke and opened his eyes. Where was he? Why was the bed different and what was... Reality suddenly returned and he curled up into a little ball, hoping to block out the memories. Too late. The tears started and he hugged his knees wishing to be anywhere but where he was at that moment. A strange feeling in his bottom! Ugh, that awful thing he'd had to put in again. A buttplug? Why? This one was a bit bigger than the first one. Awful things! He froze. The man's leg was touching him. Please don't let him wake! Please! What time was it? He needed to pee. Pee quite badly in fact. But what if he woke the man? He bit his lip, trying to control his full bladder and keep his sobbing quiet. Why him? What did this horrible man want? He tried to block out the memories of the previous evening but couldn't. They'd tried so hard to behave like the boys in the film, sitting with the man on the couch watching thirty minutes of a DVD the man had found. It had been very similar to the films on the computer and Dominic had kept his eyes shut for most of it, wondering why the man liked it so much. Those two boys...playing with each other like that.. Disgusting! The man occasionally kissed him, his rough hand stroking each boy in turn, laughing as his fingers slid deep between their buttocks. Dominic shuddered. Why was the man so interested in their bottoms? Then the order to produce their fourth and last specimen of the day. Unlike the previous sessions, they'd been allowed to masturbate themselves, standing side by side while the man watched, his hands ready to catch the few drops they managed to produce. Made to lick the man's hands, they'd then found themselves across his lap again, and spanked for taking too long! Then the order to shower and go to bed. There had been a strange look in the man's eyes. In the shower, Jeremy had whispered warnings about what to do and Dominic had felt his stomach turn. No teashirts were worn after their shower. In the bedroom, he'd copied his friend and jumped into bed, pulling the sheets right up to his chin. They'd heard the man singing in the ensuite bathroom and it had been almost ten minutes before he came out, switching off the light and yawning. Like the boys, the man had been completely naked and Dominic's eyes had widened in horror as the man slid into the bed between them. For a minute or so, the man had simply pulled the boys close, kissing and fondling them, his hands exploring every inch of their young tender bodies. He stopped and pulled the bedclothes to one side. Dominic felt a large hand grab his and slowly move it lower over the man's body. He held his breath, heart beating faster. The man's penis was sticking up and he was made to grip it tightly. So big! So very big! Joe had laughed and kissed him. "So Dominic, you saw the film with Jeremy and you know exactly what to do. Get your head down there. You as well Jeremy!" He'd helped Dominic to change position and had ran his fingers over their soft pert bottoms. "Okay boys, nice and slow! I'll give your bums a good squeeze when I want to come. Dominic, it's your turn tonight, so make sure you swallow every single drop!" A pause. "Better try really hard to make me happy, boys, or you're going to be over that punishment bench tomorrow for a very long time!" Joe had closed his eyes and left them to it, moaning with pleasure as the boys teased him with their tongues and lips. He felt them change position, one teasing his balls while the other's mouth engulfed the tip of his throbbing penis. Dominic felt sick. The man's hairs were in his mouth and nose. This was so horrible! He saw Jeremy glance at him, a warning look in his eyes. They changed places and he took the swollen glans into his mouth as far as he could. This wasn't happening, please! A large finger pushed hard against his anus and he felt it enter inside a few inches. He squealed and almost jumped away but stopped himself in time. The hand squeezed his buttock hard and he saw Jeremy nod his head. "Keep it in your mouth till he's finished!" he whispered. Dominic felt tears in his eyes. What did he have to do exactly? The man was going to.? It all happened very fast. A loud moan and the back of his mouth was suddenly full of something. He swallowed and another load replaced it, followed by more. He tried to swallow more but it seemed to stick in his throat. He started to panic. He couldn't breath! Another try and he managed to get it down just as more filled his mouth. Slowly he felt the man's penis start to soften. Was it over? Was it? He lay still, not daring to move, sobbing quietly. The man had sighed and grunted sleepily. "Oh that was nice, Dominic. Very very nice! You can stop now. Not bad at all for a first attempt. You really are a natural little cocksucker, you know!" Dominic had felt the man's exhausted cock leave his mouth and sniffed, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Yes sir. I mean.thank you sir." The man had turned over and then remembered something. "Oh forgot! The buttplugs. You sleep with the number twos tonight, okay? Go and put them in!" That had been the last thing the man had said to them before yawning and falling asleep. Now he was snoring gently, his knees touching Dominic. Could he risk it? Perhaps if he was really quiet and. He slowly uncurled and slid out of bed, then tiptoed to the bathroom. Two minutes later, he returned to the bed and quietly slid back between the sheets. He saw the man looking at him and froze with terror. "I can't remember you asking permission to go to the toilet" said Joe after a brief pause. Dominic looked confused. "I'm sorry.I didn't know sir.Please, I.." "You didn't flush the toilet. Why?" "I.I didn't want to wake you and." He started crying. "Please.. I'm sorry.I." Joe grunted, then laughed. The poor kid was terrified. He looked at his watch and yawned. Another two hours. "Okay, okay, stop crying!" He pulled the scared boy to him and kissed his wet nose. Shit, he was so cute! "It's okay. I understand." Dominic felt the man's hands all over him, stroking and caressing. He shivered and tried to stop crying. He felt something touching his thigh and froze. The man's thing was rock hard and rubbing against him. Joe sighed and held the boy's head against his chest. "You know Dominic, the best thing you can do now is to get your head down there and help me go back to sleep. If you do it as well as before, I may just forget about this, okay? Now then." He pushed the boy's head very gently under the sheets, leaving him in no doubt as to what was required. Small hands were suddenly all over his balls and he closed his eyes in ecstasy. A hot little mouth engulfed his cock and he exhaled slowly, savouring every second. A tongue teased his glans. Oh shit! That was so fucking good! He opened one eye and patted the boy's bottom. Oh yes, this one was definitely a natural! A few hours later, Joe was roused from his slumber by the annoying alarm from his watch. He woke the boys and sent them out of the room back to the main room. "You've got about thirty minutes" he reminded them as they left. "Breakfast, take your pills, first specimen of the day, then buttplugs out and shower, so better get a move on!" He paused and looked at Jeremy. "You know what to do when you hear the buzzer, Jeremy. I'll be using the number two again today. Make sure it's ready and that you're both in position!" In the kitchen, they crammed a few sandwiches into their mouths and drained a few mugs of water. Dominic looked at Jeremy and blushed. He knew what was next! Having lost some of his initial embarrassment, he found it easier than expected and was relieved to see four drops of his semen on the bottom of the flask, with Jeremy producing slightly more. "It's always more in the morning" explained Jeremy, screwing the top of the flask on. They showered and each donned a clean teashirt. A buzzer sounded and Dominic saw his friend's face suddenly look pale. He remembered. The punishment bench? A cane? What would it feel like? Like being spanked? His heart was beating fast as they went to the annex room. Jeremy opened a cupboard and Dominic saw a row of thin canes on hooks. "Number two. This is what he used yesterday" said Jeremy, taking it out. He placed it on a table a few yards away from the large bench, shivering with apprehension. "Get on quickly!" he ordered. "Kneel on this part, like this, and bend over this padded bit." He suddenly turned and lowered his voice. "It really stings, but whatever you do, don't say anything when he canes you. He doesn't like it. If you say anything, he starts from the beginning again!" Dominic felt his tears starting and tried to do as Jeremy was doing. The elaborate bench was more than wide enough for both of them and he leant over and put his tummy on the padded section that sloped downwards. The height of the section supporting their knees, combined with the angle of the padded section left an observer in no doubt as to which part of their anatomy was to be dealt with. A succession of metal rings and strong leather straps with Velcro fastenings allowed thighs, ankles, arms and even the waist to be easily secured to the bench if so desired. Jeremy heard Dominic's sobs and tried hard not to start himself. A knot of fear was growing inside him, but not about the caning. He was pretty sure that they hadn't done anything to deserve the electric thing, but you could never tell with this man. How many strokes would they get? They'd written plenty in the confession list and that should help. Shouldn't it? The man had explained about that. At the very worst, he'd only give them half of what they deserved and usually nothing at all if he thought they were trying hard. Joe entered the annex and stopped for a second, enjoying the view. Oh boy, what a sight! Two perfect bottoms sticking up, as if begging for him to get started! "Good boys" he said softly, walking up behind them. "Legs a bit further apart please.. Come on Jeremy, more!" Dominic felt the man's hand tease his scrotum and he squealed. "Now then.." Joe picked up the cane and swished it a few times through the air. "I'm not going to waste any more time. Quite frankly, I'm not very happy about your progress yesterday. You were too slow and made too many mistakes. I want to see an improved effort from now on, is that clear?" Jeremy raised his head. "Yes sir, sorry sir". "Dominic?" "Sorry sir. I mean yes sir..I.." "Good boys. So what I've decided is this. Because of your honesty in the confession list, I've reduced the number of strokes to nine!" He heard a short gasp from Jeremy and smiled. "However, since this will be Dominic's first caning, I'm giving only six now and you'll receive another three strokes tonight when I arrive. So when I walk into the living room I want to see the cane . number three I think.all ready for me to use. Is that clear Jeremy?" "Yes sir." "Good, now we can begin." He flicked the cane lightly across Dominic's bottom. "Remember to stay in position and don't say a word!" There was a sharp swishing sound and the crack of the first stroke reverberated round the room. "Owwww! Owww!" Dominic burst into tears and grabbed the end of the bench, his knuckles white. Another crack and loud intake of breath told him that the man was alternating between him and Jeremy. Hardly had he managed to get his breath back when the second stroke landed and he squealed and wriggled his buttocks as if to waft air over them. Tears fell off his cheeks onto the thick padding. He grit his teeth and prayed that it would all be over. The cane descended again and again, Dominic not even aware which stroke it was. His bottom felt like a red hot poker had seared it. Despite this, once he'd got over the initial shock of the sting imparted by the first two strokes, he discovered that it was just about bearable, though only just! Joe wiped his brow and looked at the red lines covering the two large bottoms in front of him. "Excellent Dominic. I'm really proud of you!" he said, putting the cane away. "You took it better than I thought you would." He chuckled to himself and took some tubes from the shelf. Great! At this rate, he could start inviting one or two clients in a week or so! "I have to put this on the marks" he explained, carefully spreading cream on the weals. "This cream stops the skin from bruising, and this one takes the pain away." Jeremy turned his head to look at his friend and tried to smile. He'd been scared that Dominic would start pleading with the man. That would have earned them both extra! "Okay boys, we're almost done here, I think." Dominic saw Jeremy's hands start to shake. "Unfortunately, there's one small disciplinary matter we have to take care of before we finish." Dominic heard Jeremy starting to cry. What on earth.? "You see boys, all of your assignments were very well explained. The instructions really are very simple. So when I see a simple instruction completely ignored, I cannot allow such a blatant act of disobedience to go unpunished." Joe paused. He was enjoying himself. Yes, he could overlook it, but to be honest, it was good for the boys to experience this at least every few days. "The incident to which I'm referring is the pain threshold assignment. I'm sure you remember. It was so simple, yet twice, you failed to use the restraints while being paddled. Do not let it happen again!" Dominic vaguely remembered. Jeremy had said not to bother. They were in such a hurry! But. He heard Jeremy's sobs getting louder and started to panic. There was a soft clicking sound and he felt Jeremy rise an inch off the bench, a high pitched animal-like scream renting the air. He turned his head. "Please sir, please..I." The feeling of water being sprinkled between his thighs, something cold and metallic, then. Something like a large metal vice squashing his hips together, dragging the lower part of his tummy down and squeezing everything into a small knot. Sharp knives skewered the top of his legs and forced them up to where his intestines were being turned inside out. The skin on his inner thighs were being forced through tiny sharp metal rings, pulling the flesh off his bones. He opened his mouth but heard only a strange whine. The pain was off the scale. This was the end! Darkness fell. *** "Wake up! Dominic, please!" A hand was shaking him. He opened his eyes. This wasn't real. He was dead! "Dominic, please! I just heard the warning bell. The buzzer's going to sound any second now. Come on!" Jeremy swam into focus. He was standing. Dominic started to cry. What.? "I can't get up" he said, sobbing louder. "You can see what he did!" Was Jeremy so thick? "Look!" Jeremy tried to stay calm. "Look Dominic, you just fainted for a minute, that's all. It's always like this the first time. It feels worse than it is. You'll be a bit numb for an hour or so, but then it'll be okay. But we have to go and see what the assignment is, or we'll get it again tomorrow! Now get up!!" He pulled Dominic's arm and dragged him off the bench. Dominic screamed and put his hands on his hips, expecting to feel nothing but flesh, blood and bones sticking out. Nothing! He looked down. His skin looked perfectly normal. "But. but it felt." "Yeah I know" said Jeremy, shuddering. "Depends where he does it and what setting he puts it on. Come on!" He ran to the computer, Dominic following slowly, still checking himself. He looked around him. How long would he have to stay here? Why was the man doing this? Jeremy was pointing to the treadmill and shouting. The tears fell faster. Please let it all stop!
