Chapter 3: The Bribe

Elijah was dreaming of escape. 

He was out of breath, running for his very life through 
a dark forest in the middle of the night. His mother 
and little brother were with him, and together they 
were using the stars and full moon to guide them North. 
He could hear the blood-curdling howls of the hounds in 
fast pursuit of the three runaways. But his fear didn't 
matter, because at that moment he was FREE. Free from 
his Master's clammy groping hands. Free from the sweaty 
grunts and searing pain every time his Master mounted 
him from behind. Free from the helpless feeling of 
knowing his teenage body was not his own, but rather 
subject to his Master's every whim and perversion. 

He was running, running, running from the yelping of 
the hounds, but large tree branches kept getting in his 
way. One thick branch in particular hung menacingly in 
his way, hitting him in the face and blocking his path 
as he tried to duck beneath it. He cried out for his 
mother and Thad, but they were nowhere to be found. He 
felt like the tree branch was suffocating him........

Elijah jerked awake from his dream with terror in his 
eyes. 

He was still in Master James's bed. The full moon 
pouring through the bedroom windows and the sound of 
coyotes howling in the distance told him it was still 
in the deep of night. 

The tree branch of Elijah's dream was actually his 
Master's rock-hard dick, poking and pushing for an 
entrance into his sleepy mouth. As soon as Elijah woke 
up enough to realize what was happening, he turned his 
head away in disgust. He recalled that only a few hours 
earlier, that same dick had been shoved inside his 
shit-hole. Even though Master James had cleaned it off, 
the thought of putting it in his mouth was anything but 
appetizing. 

Elijah felt his Master grabbing a handful of hair at 
the back of his head, forcing his face to confront the 
veiny monster demanding attention from his tired mouth. 
Elijah knew resistance was futile. Clenching his eyes 
shut in disgust, he reluctantly let his Master's cock 
push past his lips and deep into his mouth. 

James straddled Elijah's face, clutching a clump of 
nappy hair at the back of the boy's head, thus forcing 
his mouth's submission to every urgent thrust. 

James was especially turned on by the spontaneity of 
the act. In the past when he'd woken from sleep with 
midnight cravings, all he could do was splash cold 
water on his cock, or relieve himself with a quick, 
frustrating jerk-off. But tonight, when dreams of 
Elijah's cum-drenched face had awakened James's dick, 
all he had to do was turn to the naked slave-boy 
sleeping beside him for immediate satisfaction. 

James was thrilled by the idea that a boy as innocent 
and beautiful as Elijah had no choice but to serve his 
sexual needs at any time of the night or day. He was 
also beginning to realize his power to destroy the 
slave-boy's innocence, slowly and methodically, orgasm 
by orgasm, until all purity and resistance had been 
irreversibly eradicated. He knew without a doubt that 
this power lay within his reach; it was now only a 
question of the extent to which he'd explore and enjoy 
that power. 

Part of him viewed his newfound power with shame and 
fear. Why on earth would a decent, compassionate man 
like he want to turn a happy, spirited young boy into 
an exploited animal, a hollow shell of a human being? 
But a deeper, darker part of James couldn't resist his 
curiosity to witness firsthand what such a 
transformation would look like, especially if HE were 
the one responsible for the boy's corruption.

Even though James had reached explosive climax just 
hours ago, he couldn't believe how good it felt to 
plunge his dick into Elijah's half-asleep mouth. The 
sight of the boy's tightly shut eyes and facial 
grimaces under the moonlight only intensified his 
mounting pleasure. With his left hand, James rubbed 
Elijah's forehead, cheeks, and chin, savoring the 
smoothness of the boy's brown skin. With his right 
hand, he enjoyed the feel of Elijah's wooly, disheveled 
hair clutched in his fingers. 

He forced Elijah's face into his crotch, stabbing his 
cock deeper and deeper into the boy's helpless mouth. 
Every time his dick hit the back of Elijah's throat, 
James could hear moans, gasps, and cries of protest 
coming from the boy's mouth, creating a rhythmic 
accompaniment to every thrust. If James happened to 
slam his dick into the boy's mouth with extra violence, 
these sounds would be punctuated with a rise in volume, 
gagging noises, or increased sense of panic in Elijah's 
gasps for air. Rather than awaken James's latent 
compassion, however, these sounds only further enflamed 
James's lust. 

Elijah tried in vain to make his mind and spirit leave 
his body until the assault was over. He tried to 
imagine himself fishing with Thad and Moses, or 
listening to the stories his father used to tell him 
and his little brother. Rather than relieve his 
anguish, however, these attempts only intensified his 
pain and sense of shame. Wherever his father was, 
Elijah hoped he was still alive so that he couldn't 
look down and see his eldest son with the Master's cock 
stuffed in his mouth, like a hog roasting on a spit at 
Christmastime. 

Elijah no longer felt the same fear for his life that 
he'd experienced during his first oral assault two days 
earlier. He knew his Master's dick could choke him, but 
not to the point of actual suffocation. This time 
around, Elijah knew the thrusting attack would 
eventually be over. 

It was still hell on earth while it lasted, though. The 
Master's dick tasted salty and clammy, and shot bolts 
of pain throughout his body every time it stabbed the 
insides of his cheeks or the back of his throat. Since 
he hadn't had anything to drink for several hours, 
Elijah's lips and mouth were parched, forcing him to 
strain to produce more saliva before the Master noticed 
anything was wrong. 

James noticed that it was taking him longer to climax 
this time. Too bad for the boy, he thought to himself. 

The extra time allowed James to throw back his head, 
close his eyes, and relish every stroke of the boy's 
hot tongue against his shaft; every suction of Elijah's 
thick Negro lips as his own cock slurped in and out of 
their nearly-virgin opening; every glimpse by moonlight 
of the boy's angry, panicked eyes when they'd open wide 
after a particularly brutal thrust. 

Every few minutes, James took his dick out of Elijah's 
mouth and smacked its hardness against the boy's chin, 
lips, cheeks, and forehead. He liked wiping a trail of 
precum from the boy's ear, down his neck, across his 
Adam's apple, and up to his other ear, a mark of 
degradation on the caramel-skinned slave-boy. It only 
took seconds of such playfulness, however, before 
James's dick would miss the wet tightness of Elijah's 
mouth and dive back into its warm resting-place.

The suction of Elijah's stiff lips and awkward 
wriggling of his tongue soon had another stream of hot 
semen surging from deep within James's balls to the 
head of his dick. Having already released a load of cum 
into Elijah's ass two nights before, and having 
splattered his face with hot juices just a few hours 
earlier, James now felt an urgent desire to unleash his 
orgasm in the slave-boy's unsuspecting mouth. He 
tightened his grip on the back of Elijah's head and 
thrust his cock deep into the boy's throat, holding it 
there as he pumped stream after stream of steamy liquid 
down the boy's esophagus. 

Elijah's body fought to free itself as he felt the 
sudden explosion of runny fluid in the back of his 
throat, but James's strong hands held him firmly in 
place. The older white man's cum had a pungent odor and 
sour taste, and Elijah's throat gagged to refuse it 
entrance into the boy's healthy young body. Choking and 
sputtering, Elijah felt his mouth filling with the hot, 
bitter fluid until it ran out the corners of his mouth, 
down his chin, and into a puddle on his naked brown 
chest. 

"Swallow it!" James hissed in frustration.

Elijah squeezed his eyes shut and tried desperately to 
open his throat to the slimy, disgusting liquid. Some 
of it oozed into his throat and he gulped it down 
hurriedly.

"Listen, boy," James warned sternly. "Don't let this 
happen again. Next time you'll know what's coming, and 
you'd better swallow every drop. Like this..." 

James scooped up gobs of cum from Elijah's chin, neck, 
and chest, then shoved them into the boy's slobbery 
mouth. 

"Lick my fingers clean," James ordered, enjoying the 
thrill of mastery over the visibly repulsed boy. 

Elijah resentfully licked the white gooey fluid off the 
older white man's fingers, doing everything within his 
power to avoid puking from the acrid taste. He almost 
preferred having his Master's spunk shot deep into his 
bowels; at least that way he wouldn't be forced to see, 
smell, or taste it.

Even after Elijah had licked his fingers thoroughly 
clean, James continued to probe the boy's warm mouth 
with his fingers. James got a sadistic thrill from 
looking down at Elijah's clenched eyes while he grabbed 
the boy's tongue and rubbed his fingers along the 
ridges of small white teeth. James even poked his index 
finger into the back of Elijah's throat, just to hear 
his raspy adolescent gagging one more time. 

His body spent from its second orgasm of the evening, 
James's sadism soon gave way to resumed tenderness. He 
pulled the boy into a close embrace facing him. In that 
position, he gently stroked Elijah's wildly matted hair 
and kissed the boy's sore mouth. His tongue explored 
all the places his fingers had just fondled, and he 
sucked on Elijah's cute little tongue. 

James sensed the tension in Elijah's body. He knew the 
boy wasn't reciprocating his tenderness, but by that 
point he didn't care. Elijah was his PROPERTY, after 
all, and existed solely to feed his sexual appetites 
and keep his loneliness at bay. He could keep him a 
sexual prisoner like this for weeks, months, even YEARS 
at a time. 

James's kissing became slower and clumsier, until 
eventually he fell asleep in mid-kiss. 

Elijah waited until his Master was safely asleep, then 
squirmed out of his embrace to face the opposite wall. 
His esophagus still burned from the tangy taste of his 
Master's juices, and his body felt dirty from the 
sticky cum still caked on his face and chest. But as 
miserable as he felt, Elijah was relieved to have his 
ordeal over with, for another few hours at least.

Next thing he knew, Elijah was being shaken awake by a 
bony white hand on his shoulder. His eyes shot open and 
he tried to remember where he was. 

"Wake up, my little black beauty," James said kindly, 
but the words made Elijah cringe. James was wearing 
pants and sitting on the edge of the bed. He was 
holding a wide metal tray that carried several plates 
of steaming, delicious-smelling food and a glass 
pitcher filled with an orange liquid.

"Time for breakfast, Elijah," James explained, nudging 
the boy awake. "Becky must think I have a monstrous 
appetite this morning," he laughed, winking at Elijah. 
James wanted Elijah to forget his sexual brutality 
during these moments of quiet intimacy, but Elijah only 
nodded with a far-away look in his eyes. 

James moved to sit with his back against the bed's 
headboard, the tray resting on his lap, and motioned 
for Elijah to sit up beside him. The boy sleepily moved 
into place beside his cheerful Master, wiping his eyes 
and looking down at the food laid before him. There 
were hot flaky biscuits drenched in melted butter and 
strawberry jam; slices of crispy bacon; two bowls of 
steaming oatmeal; and chunks of freshly cut watermelon. 

Elijah's eyes opened wide in wonder at the feast in 
front of him. James smiled, realizing this was probably 
the first decent meal of the teenage boy's life. 

"Eat all you want," James encouraged. "I can even ask 
for more if you'd like. Poor Becky might think I've 
lost my mind, but she'll cook up more if I ask." 

Elijah stared at the food in shock. His pride urged him 
to refuse his Master's kindness, but his growling 
stomach insisted otherwise. Elijah's bony ribcage 
wasn't just the look of awkward adolescence; it was 
also a sign of severe under-nourishment. Master Walt 
had never let his slaves starve, but he certainly 
wasn't generous with food rations. Other than 
Christmastime, Elijah's diet consisted primarily of 
cornbread, gruel (basically mashed corn), fried 
potatoes, boiled greens, and fish if he and his buddies 
were lucky enough to catch some. With the exception of 
the occasional rabbit or squirrel, meat was a rare 
delicacy, and fruit was even scarcer. Even with the 
food Elijah was accustomed to, portions were small and 
never fully satisfied his hunger. Elijah knew that 
white folks in the big house lived better than their 
slaves, but he'd never imagined prosperity quite like 
this. The temptation to sample such wealth was too 
strong. Elijah reached forward, grabbed one of the warm 
biscuits, and then greedily crammed it into his hungry 
mouth. 

"There you go," James said, laughing sympathetically at 
the boy's raw display of hunger. He watched in 
amusement as Elijah devoured his breakfast like a 
madman, shoveling food into his mouth faster than his 
skinny arms could reach for it. 

"Easy now, Elijah," James warned, still chuckling. 
"Don't make yourself sick! It's not going anywhere, so 
take your time." 

He reached out and took his own bite of biscuit, 
watching Elijah out of the corner of his eye. 

"Most slaves would kill to be in your place right now," 
James explained. He wasn't sure if it was true, but it 
hit the persuasive note he was aiming for. Elijah 
continued inhaling his breakfast, seemingly indifferent 
to his Master's words.

"I know you're probably not fond of the........things I 
make you do when we're together," James continued. "But 
you'll see that being my personal slave has its 
advantages. No other slaves get to sleep on such a soft 
bed, for example, or wake up to such a feast. Besides, 
I think I've treated you with more kindness than the 
overseers probably treat your mother in the fields." 

Elijah didn't look up, but resented the Master 
mentioning his mother so casually. He focused on the 
pleasant sensations of breakfast, and tried to ignore 
his Master's annoying rambling. 

James poured Elijah a glass of orange juice. The boy 
stared at it curiously, then gulped it down greedily. 
It was his first taste of orange juice; water was the 
only liquid he'd ever drank with breakfast. He liked 
its sweet, cool taste, and it helped wash from his 
mouth the smell of morning breath and aftertaste of 
swallowed cum.

"Refreshing, isn't it?" James asked, smiling and 
stroking the boy's greasy, nappy head. "What I'm trying 
to tell you, Elijah, is that if you continue trying to 
make ME happy, I'll do my best to make sure that YOU'RE 
happy too. I have to confess, I'm already growing quite 
fond of you." 

Elijah wanted to spit his food in his Master's face and 
tell him the way to make him TRULY happy would be to 
send him back to his mother and little brother, and 
never make him do another disgusting thing with him 
ever again. But he remembered the Master's threats from 
two nights before, and knew his fate as a slave-boy was 
to submit to suffering without challenge or complaint. 

"Thank you, Massuh James," Elijah mumbled with his 
mouth full of bacon. "This breakfast's real good, 
Massuh. I know you'se been kind to me, Massuh James." 
He remembered his mother's advice, telling his Master 
everything he wanted to hear. 

James got goose bumps at the sound of the teenage boy's 
raspy, grateful voice. His dick also twitched at the 
sight of Elijah's brown naked body, covered in crumbs 
and remnants of dried cum from the previous night's 
adventures. 

Even the sight of Elijah EATING was arousing to James. 
He enjoyed watching the eager gulps of his slave-boy's 
Adam's apple, imagining the food being swallowed deep 
into the boy's insides where it would be digested into 
a part of the boy's beauty, sweat, energy, and shit. He 
knew it was crazy, but part of him envied the food's 
contact with the most intimate and unreachable parts of 
the boy's breathtaking body. 

Swept up in a moment of impulsive passion, James took 
Elijah's cheeks in both hands, interrupting his 
breakfast and pulling him close for a deep, tender 
kiss. He licked the crumbs off the boy's fleshy Negro 
lips, sucking tenderly at Elijah's half-open mouth 
still full of half-chewed food. 

Elijah rolled his eyes back to look at the ceiling, 
frustrated with his Master's interruption of his 
breakfast. He watched in silent protest as James moved 
the breakfast tray to the floor, stood to remove his 
pants, and climbed back beside him, smothering his face 
with aggressive kisses. 

"Damn," Elijah thought sourly. "He ain't even gonna let 
me finish eatin' before he takes his way with me 
again." 

"You can finish your breakfast later," James assured 
him breathlessly, caught up in his growing frenzy of 
lust. "Now it's time for you to EARN it."

He pulled Elijah down into a horizontal position on his 
back, and covered the slave-boy's scrawny naked body 
with his own nude, pale, middle-aged flesh. 

He grabbed Elijah's face in both hands and devoured it 
with his mouth, relishing the smell and taste of sleepy 
boy. He nuzzled the boy's neck and grinded his dick 
against his legs while Elijah stared at the ceiling 
above him in boredom and despair. 

This moment of passion, begun with a flash of tender 
foreplay, quickly turned into something urgent and 
animalistic. James's dick was already fully hard and 
poking hungrily around the warm crevices of the boy's 
thighs and buttocks. He felt a greedy, overwhelming 
desire to fuck the boy quickly and without mercy. He 
had watched Elijah's breakfast slide eagerly down his 
throat, and now he longed to feel the boy's insides 
again before they became polluted from digestion. 

James shoved Elijah's legs into the air and pushed the 
boy's knees against his chest. Elijah's ass tensed in 
anticipation of its second violation in several hours, 
its third in the boy's entire young life. 

James leaned across the bed and reached down to the 
abandoned breakfast tray on the floor. He scooped up a 
glob of melting butter from one of the dishes, returned 
to his position between his slave-boy's spread legs, 
and smeared it all around Elijah's dark, wrinkled 
asshole. The boy's asshole tightened at first touch, 
then loosened slightly, then tightened again, panting 
in dread of the assault just seconds away. 

James pushed one, then two of his butter-drenched 
fingers into Elijah's resistant asshole, watching the 
boy wince in pain as he did so. This was a new and 
interesting sensation, he thought, the feel of his 
FINGERS exploring the boy's forbidden insides. He loved 
the panicked grip of the boy's asshole as it fought 
fiercely to expel the unwanted intruders. He savored 
the silky, slimy feel of the boy's rectum as his 
fingers wriggled their way deeper and deeper. He smiled 
as he watched the boy gasp in protest, then cover his 
face with his right arm in frustration and 
embarrassment. 

James removed his fingers, but just before he started 
to wipe them on the bed-sheets, he had a wicked impulse 
to make Elijah lick them clean. The idea of the boy 
being forced to taste the melted butter mixed with the 
slime from his rectum was surprisingly and sadistically 
exciting to James. Without warning or permission, James 
shoved his gooey fingers into Elijah's horrified mouth. 

"Lick them clean!" James ordered, enjoying his command 
over the boy. 

Elijah started to choke, but had no choice but to suck 
his own slimy insides off his Master's fingers. He 
longed for another drink of orange juice to rinse out 
the nasty taste and musky smell of James's fingers. 

James nearly climaxed right then, just watching 
Elijah's expressions of surprise and disgust. 

He knew it was time to fuck the boy's warm, greasy 
asshole - briefly but brutally. He placed his eager 
cock against the boy's tight opening, then fully 
entered the boy in one forceful thrust. 

Elijah screamed in protest so loudly that James worried 
for a second that Mr. Potter, Becky, or Abel would come 
running to see who'd been murdered. James smothered the 
boy's screams with his right hand, pressing down on the 
boy's face as he used his dick as a battering ram to 
open Elijah's tight entryway. The warm melted butter 
intensified the normal pleasures of ass-fucking, and 
allowed James's dick to sink deeper into Elijah's guts 
than on his first two fuckings. 

With a threatening look, James removed his hand from 
Elijah's mouth. Elijah substituted his screams of agony 
with quick, guttural gasps of pain that accompanied 
every thrust. Every gasp was paired with a clenching-
shut of the boy's eyes in misery and endurance. These 
sights and sounds provided physical proof of James's 
power over Elijah, inspiring him to slam his adult body 
into the boy's scrawny frame with even greater 
intensity.

It only took a dozen brutal thrusts into his slave-
boy's lanky brown body before James felt a weaker but 
still-powerful orgasm building up within him. He leaned 
down and smothered Elijah's cries by shoving his tongue 
into the boy's gaping mouth, tasting sweet remnants of 
biscuits and bacon mixed with the fouler taste of 
butter and ass-juices. He lunged his body deeper and 
deeper into Elijah, thrilled by the feeling of the 
boy's sprawled legs and feet wrapped around his back. 
Finally, James buried his head into the sweaty nape of 
Elijah's neck and focused all his energy on the orgasm 
to come. He whispered Elijah's name over and over in 
his slave-boy's ear, grunting in defeated ecstasy as he 
heaved his body into Elijah's one final time, emptying 
what was left of his body's semen supply deep into his 
slave-boy's waiting bowels. 

He lay atop Elijah's body, his softening dick still 
inside the boy's butter-greased ass, sweating and 
panting for breath, for what felt like hours to 
Elijah's restless body. 

Finally Elijah worked up the nerve to ask hesitantly, 
"Can I finish eatin' now, Massuh James?" 

James lifted his head up to look down at his shy, 
scared slave-boy. He chuckled at the boy's simple 
request, uttered with such simplicity and candor. His 
chuckle turned into long, convulsive laughter atop 
Elijah's frail, confused body. Still laughing 
uncontrollably, James rolled off the boy and onto his 
back. He reached down to the floor, lifted up the tray, 
and put it on Elijah's lap, laughing the entire time. 

Now he was laughing at far more than Elijah's nervous 
request. He was laughing at the irony and absurdity of 
life. He was laughing at the fact that barely two weeks 
earlier he'd been a Northern virgin prude, scared of 
sex and judgmental toward slavery, and here he was, 
naked and sweaty and laughing after fucking the hell 
out of a scared, innocent 14-year-old Negro slave - for 
the THIRD time in two days. He was laughing at how far 
he'd fallen, and wondering how far he still had to 
fall. 

And it was in that exact moment that James Stampley 
surrendered himself to his folly, wherever it might 
lead him. 

***

James's encounters with Elijah fell into a pleasantly 
predictable routine for the next five days. 

Using an old stopwatch James had given him and taught 
him how to use, Elijah snuck up to his Master's bedroom 
every night at nine o'clock. James was usually lonely 
and horny following the absence of his favorite slave-
boy, and typically tore off Elijah's clothes before the 
boy had the chance to utter a greeting. 

James then enjoyed a couple hours of groping, licking, 
sucking, and fucking, collapsing at the end of his 
climax into a deep but temporary sleep, suffocating the 
small boy in his arms. 

If Elijah was lucky, James slept soundly until morning. 
Most nights, however, James woke up around two or three 
in the morning to push his cock into his sleeping 
slave-boy's mouth, or poke its reddish head against the 
boy's tiny asshole, usually still wet and squishy from 
an ass-fucking just a few hours earlier. 

Elijah's favorite part of the routine - in fact, the 
only part of the routine from which he derived any 
satisfaction whatsoever - was breakfast. The 
deliciousness of Becky's cooking was only slightly less 
amazing to the deprived slave-boy than the apparent 
limitlessness of its supply. 

Breakfast was usually followed by another sexual act. 
This was then followed by another few hours of sleep as 
the morning sun warmed the naked sleeping bodies of 
Master and slave. 

Around noon, James fetched lunch for himself and 
Elijah, every bit as plentiful and tasty as breakfast. 

In the afternoons, James frequently became talkative 
and emotional. Depleted of all sexual drive by this 
point, he usually began to feel guilty for the 
preceding hours' abuses. So in those final afternoon 
hours, James treated Elijah with extra kindness, asking 
the boy countless questions about his life. Elijah 
usually answered in reluctant mumbling at first, but 
grew more eager and talkative as the afternoon wore on. 
Regardless of the unpleasant circumstances, Elijah was 
a normal teenage boy and loved to talk about himself, 
especially to an eager adult listener. 

Who was his best friend? ("Thad, I reckon, then Lil 
Rooster"). 

What was his favorite food? ("Probably Mama's catfish, 
but Miss Becky's biscuits is a close second"). 

What were his biggest fears? (Lightning and 
Rattlesnakes). 

What did he remember about his father? (his deep voice, 
the exciting adventure stories he used to tell him and 
Thad, the strange scar across his cheek, the prayer he 
always used to say before supper, the way he snored at 
night after a long day in the fields, the first time he 
showed Elijah how to fish, their subsequent father-son 
fishing trips every Sunday afternoon). 

Sometimes as he listened to Elijah's cute ramblings, 
James felt an overwhelming sense of remorse for the 
pain he'd caused the young boy's body and spirit. He 
longed to restore the boy's virginity. He wanted to 
write up manumission papers and send Elijah, his 
mother, and little brother off to safety and freedom in 
the North. He felt a need to apologize for all the 
ugly, brutal things he'd said or done to the boy in the 
past week. 

But a deeper, darker need had now taken hold of James's 
mind, a need to POSSESS the boy COMPLETELY - flesh, 
mind, and spirit. Elijah's precocious stories only made 
this need more urgent and uncompromising. 

Around 2:30 p.m. each day, James gave Elijah permission 
to leave, and the boy dashed off with a hurried, "See 
ya tomorrow, Massuh James." James then lay in bed for 
another fifteen minutes, dizzy and delirious from the 
memories of the previous night and day. He felt as if 
he were stumbling through a dream; everything seemed 
strangely, blissfully surreal. Sometimes he even 
wondered if he wasn't falling in love with Elijah. 

James always snapped himself out of these afternoon 
daydreams by remembering that Abel could walk in the 
room at any time after three o'clock. He stripped the 
soiled bed-sheets and left them in a pile for Abel to 
collect later. After this, James grabbed a clean set of 
clothes and headed downstairs for a hot bath. 

He stumbled his way through dinner in a daze, sometimes 
snapping out of it long enough to admire the shape of 
Abel's muscular teenage ass pressing against the house-
boy's silk slacks. 

After dinner, he walked to the main road and back, 
stretching his stiff muscles after lounging in bed for 
hours. Then he suffered through another hour or two of 
Mr. Potter's dirty stories and crude humor, impatient 
to put out his cigar and return to his bedroom to await 
the return of his special slave-boy. 

Elijah's routine was very different. 

After consuming large meals to which his starved body 
was unaccustomed, not to mention being pumped full of 
his Master's cum, Elijah's first stop was always one of 
the five outhouses on the southern border of the slave 
quarters. After emptying his bowels, Elijah snuck 
through the woods to a private spot he'd found in the 
creek where the other children never swam or fished. 
There he soaked himself in the warm creek water until 
the smells, sweat, and crusty cum from his Master was 
completely washed off. As soon as he felt like his 
body, especially his asshole, was thoroughly clean and 
prepared for the coming night's ravishing, Elijah snuck 
back home and crawled wearily into bed. 

He no longer played with the other children, even when 
Thad begged or bribed him with tales of exciting new 
games or lucky fishing holes. He rarely slept, but 
instead stared blankly at the cabin walls, resigned to 
his depressing fate as the Master's "personal slave." 

Phoebe tried to cheer him up when she'd get home from 
the fields, singing one of his favorite songs or frying 
up a catfish Thad had caught. Sometimes these efforts 
brought a smile to Elijah's face, at other times just a 
distracted, mumbled "Thanks, Mama." 

Deep down he treasured these few hours with his mother 
and little brother, but even in these private moments 
Elijah felt haunted by Master James's presence. He 
could only get caught up in a game with Thad, or one of 
his mother's stories, for ten, maybe fifteen minutes 
before awful visions of the perverted acts he'd been 
forced to perform just hours before would plague his 
restless young mind. Even in these moments of so-called 
"freedom," the reality of his new life weighed him 
down. He longed to be a normal, clueless boy like Thad 
again, but he didn't know if or how such a return to 
innocence would ever be possible. 

Usually in the middle of a competitive game, Elijah 
looked at the rusty stopwatch in his pocket and 
realized it was close to nine o'clock. With an apology 
to Thad and sad glance at his mother, Elijah hugged 
them goodbye and returned to the Big House for another 
night of submission to the depraved acts demanded by 
Master James. 

Elijah was surprised at how quickly he got used to 
Master James's disgusting uses for his young body. His 
shock and defiance on his first night with the new 
Master now seemed like part of another lifetime. He 
certainly didn't LIKE the things he was forced to do - 
in fact, he still found most of them quite painful and 
revolting - but he had learned how to comply, sullenly 
but silently. Gross behavior like tongue-kissing, 
sucking dick, or taking cock up his shit-hole - 
activities he never knew EXISTED, let alone imagined 
himself actually DOING, just one week ago - now seemed 
like things he'd been doing all his life, things he 
could do in his sleep if he had to. He knew resistance 
would only cause he and his family more suffering, so 
he simply closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and 
endured his Master's affections as long as they lasted. 

Sometimes the nightmare lasted for what seemed like 
hours, until his jaw-muscles ached and his asshole felt 
like it had been torn to shreds. At other times his 
Master's groping was mercifully, almost laughably 
short, the grunts and thrusts coming to an abrupt end 
after only two or three sweaty minutes. 

Elijah still cringed inside every time his Master 
pulled out his red veiny dick and pushed it against his 
lips, but his mouth slowly adjusted to the unnatural 
feeling of having a big penis shoved into it. He 
gradually learned how to relax his jaws and throat to 
allow for better access and avoid gagging. He figured 
out how he could use his right hand at the base of the 
dick so that he wouldn't have to take as much of it 
into his mouth. He got into the habit of spitting and 
slobbering as much as possible, causing less friction 
against his lips and mouth, and making the inevitable 
later entry into his asshole less painful. He learned 
how to balance long, deep suction with short, quick 
bobs up and down, or licking up and down the shaft, 
allowing for the chance to breathe in between the heavy 
sucking. And, most difficult of all, he finally reached 
the point where he could swallow all of his Master's 
dick-juices without choking. 

Elijah still hated the feeling of having a dick crammed 
into his shit-hole, but it no longer hurt as intensely 
as it had the first couple times. It still shamed and 
disgusted him every time Master James mounted him from 
behind. He wasn't sure why, but he felt like normal 
boys didn't take dicks up the butt the way Sophy took 
Jacob's dick that afternoon in the barn. He couldn't 
imagine his father, or Jacob, or Lil Rooster allowing 
another man's privates to be shoved up inside them. 

But at least now the pain wasn't as severe, and he knew 
what to expect. The first time the dick pushed past his 
asshole always hurt the worst, but after a few 
excruciatingly painful thrusts, the burning was 
replaced by a dull, steady sensation. The only feeling 
he could compare it to was taking a huge shit over and 
over and over again. He was embarrassed to admit it to 
himself, but a couple times he was even surprised to 
feel PLEASURE from his Master's thrusting, making his 
own dangling six inches twitch and harden. It usually 
only lasted a few seconds before Master James shifted 
positions in a way that replaced the brief pleasure 
with the more familiar feeling of pain and violation. 
Each time Elijah swore he must be imagining things. 

After being fucked a dozen or more times, Elijah's 
asshole began to loosen and accommodate his Master's 
cock more quickly and easily. It retained its firm 
grip, but gradually became more flexible and 
cooperative. Elijah also discovered that if he pushed 
real hard, as if he was taking a shit, his asshole 
would receive its intruder with less pain and 
difficulty.

James never dreamed a man could have so much sex on a 
regular basis, and he loved every minute of it. 

He became addicted to the idea of sex without the 
seduction and self-consciousness that surely would have 
accompanied it if he'd been pursuing another white man 
or free Negro in the North. That kind of sex demanded 
time and effort, but as a slave-owner he could take 
pleasure from Elijah's young body at any time of the 
night or day, with just a word or look. And the true 
beauty of it was that he never had to consider Elijah's 
feelings, or worry about the quality of his own sexual 
performance. He could be as quick, clumsy, or 
adventurous as he wished, and he knew his young slave-
boy couldn't say a word in judgment or protest.

Sometimes James preferred the simple and familiar, 
settling for a quick-thrusting blowjob or doggy-style 
fuck. At other times he became more imaginative, 
exploring and degrading his Negro slave's body in new 
and exciting ways. 

Sometimes he'd bend Elijah over with the boy's elbows 
leaning on the windowsill, and fuck him aggressively as 
Elijah watched his pickaninny friends playing in the 
distance. 

Sometimes he was content just to fuck Elijah with his 
fingers, intently watching the boy's pained facial 
expressions as he shoved one, two, then three, and one 
time even FOUR, fingers into the boy's stretched 
asshole. He loved feeling the silky warm squishiness of 
the boy's insides, and seeing the boy's resentment when 
forced to lick his fingers clean afterwards. 

His favorite position, however, was simple. He liked to 
sit with his back against the bed's headboard and make 
Elijah lie flat on his stomach between his legs and 
worship his Master's cock and balls with his mouth. 
This allowed James to watch Elijah's clumsy, half-
hearted blowjobs, but also have a full view of the 
boy's plump upturned buttocks. Sometimes he would lean 
down to smack, grab, or knead the boy's fleshy mounds 
with his hands. Before long one or two fingers found 
their way to the sweaty crevice of Elijah's ass-crack, 
exploring its hidden treasure in anticipation of the 
more brutal plundering to come.

Sometimes James was slow and tender in his lovemaking, 
entering Elijah with gradual strokes as he 
affectionately nibbled on the boy's ears or neck. At 
other times he became rough and abusive, devoted to 
causing Elijah as much pain and humiliation as 
possible. In these frenzies of angry lust, James 
shouted insults at Elijah such as "dumb nigger" or 
"dirty pickaninny bastard" as he slammed his raging 
dick into the boy's helpless asshole. 

About a week after his first encounter with Elijah, 
James grew frustrated with Elijah's detached attitude 
toward their times together. James wasn't stupid. He 
saw Elijah grimace every time James pushed his cock in 
the boy's mouth. He felt Elijah's body stiffen, then 
grow limp, every time he climbed on top of him. At 
first this resistance had been an enormous turn-on, 
visible proof of the boy's innocence. But now James was 
becoming impatient and annoyed. 

James was developing a strong attachment to Elijah, but 
he knew deep down that his slave-boy felt nothing 
positive toward him in return. He realized Elijah was 
only in his arms each night thanks to an unfair and 
inhumane culture that legally and socially categorized 
Negroes as nothing more than livestock. James knew that 
if given the choice, Elijah would gladly leave and 
never see his Master again. 

The fear of whippings or worse forced Elijah to 
surrender to his Master's desires, but James realized 
that FEAR as a motivator could only find limited 
success. Fear alone could never make Elijah love him, 
or come to his bed with enthusiasm. As things currently 
stood, Elijah would never be more than a limp rag-doll 
to soak up his cum.

One evening during his post-dinner walk, James came up 
with a thrilling idea. 

Perhaps it was time to explore a new aspect of his 
recently discovered power as slave-master. He'd 
witnessed the results of FEAR on his slave-boy's 
behavior, but why not try out HOPE instead? REWARD 
rather than PUNISHMENT? A devious strategy began to 
form in his mind. 

When Elijah came to his room that night, James ordered 
him to sit on the edge of the bed. Elijah looked 
startled; usually he was already half-naked and covered 
in his Master's saliva by this point. James paced back 
and forth, searching for the right words. 

"I want to talk with you about something very serious, 
Elijah," James began. "It's about your father." 

Elijah looked up with surprise and concern. 

"Yes, Massuh?" he asked, trying to conceal the 
curiosity in his voice.

"Well, Elijah, I've been thinking," James continued, 
pulling up a chair to sit across from the boy. "You've 
told me a lot of stories about your father lately, and 
it's clear you love and miss him very much." 

Elijah nodded uncomfortably, staring at the ground. 
None of his nights with Master James had begun this 
way.

"I guess what I'm trying to say," James pushed ahead, 
"is that I feel bad about what my Uncle Walt did to 
your family, and I want to make it up to you." 

Elijah looked up, his brow wrinkled in confusion. 
"I... I don't understand, Massuh James."

"What I'm trying to say," James explained softly, 
taking the boy's hands in his own, "is that I'm going 
to do my best to get your father back." 

Elijah's eyes widened in surprise. He tried to remain 
calm, but his heart was already doing somersaults. 
"I'se confused, Massuh James." 

"I can't promise anything," James clarified. "But I'll 
do everything within my power to bring your father 
back. I'll write to the attorney and slave-trader who 
handled your father's sale, and see if I can track down 
who he was sold to. If I'm able to find out that much, 
I'll offer good money to buy him back. Double his real 
value, if it comes to that."

James wasn't sure how sincere his promises actually 
were, but he certainly had the wealth and resources to 
keep them. He could worry about that later. Right now 
all that mattered was making Elijah believe him.

Elijah stared at his Master, stunned and confused. He 
tried to fight back the tears welling up in his eyes. 
After four years, he'd nearly given up hope of ever 
seeing his father again, but now, without warning or 
reason, his new Master was rekindling hope in his 
heart. It was too strange and good to be true. Why 
would his Master want to reunite his family? Perhaps he 
was a kind man after all, in spite of the forced sex 
and occasional angry words. 

Elijah worked up the nerve to express his doubt. 
"But.... why you wanna do that, Massuh James?"

"I told you, Elijah," James explained. "I want to fix 
my Uncle's mistake. I really do care about you, Elijah. 
I want to make you happy. Bringing your father back 
WILL make you happy, won't it?"

Hope crept into Elijah's suspicious eyes. His mother 
had always taught him never to trust anything from a 
white person's mouth, but Master James sounded so kind 
and sincere. Maybe there would be some happiness in his 
future after all. 

"Oh, yes, Massuh James!" Elijah said, betraying his 
optimism. "That makes me real happy."

"I'm glad to hear that, Elijah," James said. "I'll do 
everything I possibly can to find him and bring him 
back.... but I'm going to need you to do your part." 

Elijah furrowed his brow. 

"My part, Massuh?" He didn't see what he could possibly 
do to aid the search for his father.

"Yes, YOUR part," James explained. "From now on, I want 
you to show me some ENTHUSIASM in our.... times 
together." 

Elijah's heart sank, and his face fell to the floor. He 
knew it was too good to be true. He should have known a 
white man wouldn't do nothing good for a Negro without 
wanting something in return. 

"Inthoos.... enthooshiazm, Massuh James?" Elijah 
asked, struggling to pronounce the Master's big word. 

"In other words," James continued, "I want you to 
PRETEND that you like what we do together, even if you 
don't. If you want me to do everything within MY power 
to make YOU happy, I expect YOU to do everything within 
YOUR power to make ME happy, do you understand? That's 
only fair, isn't it?"

James blushed at his shameless emotional manipulation 
of the helpless boy, but his dick twitched at the 
thought that his plan might actually work. 

Elijah wanted to cry. It was already all he could do to 
suck his Master's dick without gagging, or take his 
Master's dick up his ass without crying. He didn't 
think he had it in him to pretend that he actually 
LIKED it. 

Maybe his Master's promise was a trick, but what if it 
wasn't? What if his father's safe and joyful return 
really WAS up to him? Wouldn't it be foolish not to at 
least TRY? He already let Master James use his body 
three, four, sometimes five times a day - how much 
harder could it be to smile and moan in fake pleasure 
while he was doing it? 

"I... I reckon that's fair, Massuh James," Elijah 
mumbled. 

James smiled, relieved his plan was working.

"Listen carefully, Elijah," James replied sternly. "I 
want you to act like you LOVE everything I make you do. 
No arguments and no frowns, you hear? If you fail to 
put on a convincing show, you can kiss goodbye all 
hopes of ever seeing your father again."

"Yes, Massuh James, I'll try my best," Elijah said, 
trying to muster up some eagerness in his voice. 

"Well, then, get started, boy," James commanded, eager 
to see the results of his new experiment. "Take off my 
clothes and show me how a good little nigger-boy sucks 
dick." 

James tried not to laugh when Elijah first began 
fumbling with the buttons on his shirt. The boy seemed 
more scared and hasty than eager and willing, but James 
found himself amused with the boy's first attempts. It 
was clear Elijah had the right idea. 

As Elijah clumsily tried to take off his shirt, James 
pushed the boy away, stood up, and pulled off all of 
his own clothes. I can at least spare him the ordeal of 
undressing me, James thought with a chuckle. 

Now completely naked, James lay down on his back, on 
the bed. Elijah jumped up and quickly stripped out of 
his own clothes, then climbed on top of his naked 
Master. 

James was thrilled when Elijah pressed his thick Negro 
lips against his own and awkwardly tried parting them 
with his tongue. James had always initiated the 
kissing, and Elijah had always done little more than 
open his mouth and stiffly receive his Master's tongue. 
But now he was licking at his Master's mouth like a 
kitten lapping up milk. There was still a stiffness to 
his actions, to be sure, but it was obvious the boy was 
making an effort.

Elijah tried his best to imitate the way Master James 
usually treated him in these situations. He covered 
James's lips with his own, slurping at them awkwardly. 
He swirled his tongue clumsily around the inside of the 
man's mouth. He did his best to act as if he liked it, 
even humming in pleasure as he'd heard Master James do 
so many times while engaged in the same activity. 

Elijah moved his lips to his Master's neck, kissing and 
licking his way stiffly down James's body until his 
mouth was against the man's red, throbbing cock. Taking 
a deep breath, Elijah swallowed it in one huge gulp, 
choking from the over-eagerness of his first attempt. 
Elijah refused to give up, diving back down on his 
Master's dick with another full gulp. Taking the base 
in his right hand and spitting a wet gob of saliva on 
the tip of the dick, Elijah rapidly sucked up and down, 
up and down, quickly getting his Master's dick slick 
and hot with his spit and warm breath. 

Elijah's sucking had never been so intense. There was 
no need for James to grab the back of the boy's head or 
hump his face, for this time Elijah was doing an 
extraordinary job on his own. The boy even moaned as he 
eagerly sucked up and down. James knew Elijah was 
performing, acting purely out of self-interest, but 
that was part of the erotic thrill. For James, the 
excitement lay in his power to make Elijah perform 
degrading acts and pretend like he enjoyed them. 

James felt a sadistic compulsion to test the limits of 
Elijah's cooperation. 

Placing his hands beneath his own head and grinning 
broadly, James taunted, "You like sucking your Master's 
white cock, nigger?" 

Elijah winced, but hoped James hadn't noticed. He was 
already doing his best. Why couldn't his Master just 
leave him alone? But Elijah was desperate to earn his 
father's return, and a powerful incentive such as the 
one James placed before Elijah could compel one to do 
almost anything - especially a poor teenage slave boy 
with so few hopes for the future. 

Elijah pulled his mouth off his Master's dick, a stream 
of saliva running down his chin. He looked up and gave 
James the widest, most convincing smile he could 
muster. 

"Oh, yes, Massuh, your thing taste real good, Massuh. 
Better than Becky's biscuits." 

James laughed at the boy's corny creativity. "So your 
pickaninny mouth likes white dick, huh, boy?!? Better 
than fried chicken? Better than WATERMELON?!?"

Elijah cringed but played along. "Oh, yessuh, Massuh 
James, I sho likes the taste of your dick. More than 
anything, Massuh, more than watermelon!" 

He resumed his animated sucking as if to prove his 
point. When he felt like he could hardly breathe, he'd 
take long licks up and down the shaft of James's dick, 
moaning in pleasure like he was tasting Christmas 
candy. 

"Lick my balls!" James commanded, enjoying the boy's 
enthusiastic servility more than any of the preceding 
week's pleasures.

Elijah obeyed, burying his nose against James's large 
balls reeking of sweat and semen. He closed his eyes in 
disgust, but pretended like he was enjoying a delicious 
meal. 

James closed his eyes in ecstasy at the feel of 
Elijah's nervous warm breath on his balls. 

"That's right, nigger," James barked, putting on a 
performance of his own. "This will teach you your 
proper place in the world. Nigger lips and nigger 
tongue were made for the white man's balls. What are 
you, boy?!?"

Elijah was confused by the question. 

"A slave, Massuh?" Elijah answered, hoping it was the 
expected reply. 

"I want to hear you tell me what you ARE!" James 
demanded.

"I'se a... I'se just a nigger, I 'spose, Massuh," 
Elijah replied sullenly, still lapping at his Master's 
balls. 

"You're damn right you're a nigger, but what KIND of 
nigger?!?" James taunted. He realized with more 
amusement than guilt how much he was beginning to sound 
like Mr. Potter.

Elijah wanted to cry, but kept a silly grin on his 
face. 

"I'se just a dumb, dirty nigger," he confessed. 

"A dumb, dirty nigger who likes to lick white men's 
balls!" James added. 

"You'se right, Massuh James," Elijah agreed. 

"Say it!" James ordered. 

"I'se a dumb, dirty nigger who likes to lick white 
men's balls, cuz they sho do taste good, Massuh James," 
Elijah declared, sucking his Master's balls into his 
mouth. 

Caught up in his sadistic frenzy, James decided to 
present Elijah with the ultimate test of his feigned 
enthusiasm.

"Lick my asshole!" James barked. 

Elijah clenched his eyes shut in disbelief and disgust. 
He remembered how good it felt when James had done that 
to him several days earlier, but the idea of actually 
licking another person's shit-hole was repulsive. It 
was the place where farts and shit came out. He thought 
of the foul odors of the slave quarter outhouses. 

Not this, he thought to himself. Anything but this. 

"Please, Massuh," Elijah begged. "I'se doin' my best to 
make you happy, but please don't make me do that! I'll 
do anything you wants me to, anything but that."

James was annoyed at having the illusion of enthusiasm 
disrupted. 

"Do you want to see your father again or not?!?" he 
growled. "You heard what I said - lick my ass, nigger!"

Elijah knew he had no choice but to cooperate. Wanting 
to get it over with as soon as possible, he moved his 
tongue lower until it nervously poked at the older 
white man's pink wrinkled asshole. Elijah was surprised 
that it was pink instead of brown. He was also 
surprised to find that his Master's ass smelled no 
worse than a mixture of sweat and soap. Still, it was a 
gross thing to do, and he tried his hardest to put from 
his mind what it was he was actually doing - kneeling 
between his Master's legs and licking the older white 
man's asshole like it was the most natural thing in the 
world!

"Come on, nigger, you can do better than that," James 
insisted. "Eat my ass like it's corn-on-the-cob, boy!"

Elijah tried to ratchet up his energy level. He lapped 
at his Master's asshole with deep, long strokes of his 
tongue, followed by quick, awkward pokes at the center 
of his Master's pucker. After more of James's scolding, 
he began biting and slurping on it as his Master had 
done a few days before. He spit on the winking asshole 
and spread the saliva around with his tongue. He even 
tried to push his small red tongue deeper into his 
Master's ass - something he never in a million years 
thought he could ever be made to do! 

The sight, sounds, and sensations of Elijah eagerly 
slurping on a grown man's asshole for the very first 
time was too much for James's aroused body. With barely 
a warning, his dick shot streams of white cum into the 
air, splattering down onto Elijah's hair, eyes, nose, 
lips, and chin. 

Realizing what was happening, Elijah dutifully moved to 
drink the final few spurts of semen from his Master's 
dick. With no coaxing from James, he also began licking 
the cum from around his lips, even scooping some up off 
his forehead and feeding it to himself. 

"Taste good, nigger?" James asked, laughing at the 
boy's cum-drenched face. 

"Sho do, Massuh James. Your stuff taste better than 
mine, Massuh," Elijah lied. 

"Come here, boy. Lay on top of me," James instructed. 

Elijah sprawled his naked brown body across his Master, 
the sweat of their stomachs sticking together. 

"You did a real good job, Elijah," James said in a 
kinder tone of voice, stroking the back of Elijah's 
tangled nappy hair. "Keep it up and you'll be seeing 
your father in no time." 

***

The charade continued for three more days. 

Elijah devoured his Master's dick like a rabid dog. He 
smiled and nodded and verbally agreed with the most 
offensive insults. He begged his Master to fuck his 
tight nigger ass, and moaned in exaggerated pleasure no 
matter how much his rectum was burning in pain. At 
night he lay awake imagining what the reunion with his 
father would be like, and in those moments all the 
day's degradations seemed worth it. 

Despite his best efforts, Elijah's performance as the 
eager, willing slave boy wasn't flawless. He was a 
sensitive teenage boy, after all, and even the most 
jaded adults have trouble concealing their true 
feelings every waking moment. James occasionally caught 
flashes of defiance in Elijah's eyes, or winces of pain 
or disgust. 

The novelty of his latest experiment began to wear off, 
and James realized there was no power or threat within 
the slave-master's reach that could compel a slave to 
reciprocate feelings of lust or love. A slave could be 
raped, whipped, degraded, manipulated, sold, and even 
killed, but could never be forced to love. 

Rather than help him see the futility of his behavior, 
Elijah's rejection only made James feel powerless, then 
angry and resentful as a result of that powerlessness. 

One morning James awoke from his sleep to the sound of 
sniffling. He opened his eyes to see Elijah resting in 
a fetal position on the far side of the bed, facing the 
bedroom windows that overlooked the slave quarters. It 
was obvious the boy had been crying. 

"What's wrong, boy?" James asked coldly. The tears 
might have inspired sympathy just a few days earlier, 
but now they merely provoked annoyance. 

"Nothin', Massuh," Elijah said quietly. "Just a bad 
dream, I reckon." 

James knew the boy was lying and wanted to hear the 
truth, regardless of how it might hurt his fragile ego. 

"Go ahead, Elijah, you can tell me what's the matter," 
he said in as kind a voice as he could muster.

Elijah hesitated. 

"I 'spose I just miss my little brother," he mumbled. 
"This the best time to fish, so I reckon that's what 
put my mind to it." 

James felt a pang of jealousy, then anger. Suddenly he 
was struck with a tempting idea. Turning it over in his 
mind, temptation quickly evolved into full-fledged 
obsession.

"If you miss your little brother so much," James said 
hurriedly, before his conscience could scare him away 
from the idea that had taken shape in his mind, "then I 
think it's about time I invite him to join in on our 
fun."

Elijah felt dread stabbing at his stomach. He cringed 
to think that his own careless words had planted such 
an idea in James's mind.

Elijah tried to sound calm and collected: "Oh, no, 
Massuh, he probably busy with the other boys anyway. 
I'll be okay, Massuh James, don't worry about me. I'se 
ungrateful to say such a thing, Massuh."

But James was already past the point of no return: "No, 
I think I've made up my mind, Elijah. You've told me so 
much about your little brother, it's only fair I meet 
him, right? Besides, I'm sure he'd love to see what HE 
could do to bring his father back again, wouldn't he?" 

Elijah shuddered at the creepy sound of his Master's 
voice. How could he have been so naïve as to think his 
little brother was safe from the Master's weird 
cravings? Was he so cocky that he thought the Master 
would never desire other slave boys, including Thad? 
But Thad was only ten years old! Surely the Master 
wouldn't force a CHILD to do such nasty things? 

Elijah turned over and faced Master James, staring 
directly in the man's eyes for what felt like the very 
first time.

"Please, Massuh James," Elijah pleaded, a stray tear 
running down his face. "Don't do nothin' to Thad! He my 
only brother, Massuh, and he just a little boy. I been 
the man since Daddy got sold away, but Thad.... Thad 
ain't never had to be a man, he only ten, he ain't 
ready for the stuff a man like me can do. I'll do 
ANYTHING you want, Massuh James, ANYTHING.... just 
please don't do nothin' to my little brother!" 

"Oh, I have no plans to HURT him," James replied with a 
devilish grin. "I just want to meet him, see if he's as 
handsome as you. Show him what the two of us been up to 
for the past week. You don't want to keep secrets from 
your baby brother, now do you?" 

James was enjoying this sadistic high. If Elijah 
wouldn't love him willingly, James would possess the 
boy in the only other way possible - through shame and 
forced obedience. James knew that even if he didn't lay 
a hand on Thad, having his little brother as a witness 
to his rape would humiliate Elijah for life.  

Elijah was sobbing now. It was the first time James had 
seen him break down and cry since their first encounter 
over a week ago. 

"Why are you doing this?" Elijah kept sobbing over and 
over. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Don't be so melodramatic," James shrugged. "What I'm 
doing to you is far kinder than anything you'd feel 
under the overseers' whips in the fields." 

James was actually beginning to believe his own 
justifications for the ways he was hurting Elijah. 

"Besides," he continued. "I'm going to reunite you with 
your father, remember?!?" 

Elijah sniffled, remembering the only glimmer of hope 
in his bleak adolescent life. 

Was the potential reunion with his father worth the 
steep price of introducing his little brother to the 
Master's brutality? Could he trust Master James's word? 
His father could be dead, and Master James might 
already know it. But was that a gamble he was willing 
to make? Even if it was only a faint possibility, was 
it a chance he could turn his back on? 

Besides, Elijah reasoned with himself, if Master James 
truly wants Thad, he'll take him with or without his 
cooperation. And if his little brother's corruption was 
inescapable, wouldn't it be better for him to be 
present? Wouldn't Thad need his stronger older brother 
to coach and comfort him through the nightmare? 

"It's your choice," James stated matter-of-factly. 
"Bring your brother to my room in one hour, or you'll 
never see your father again." 

Elijah wiped his tears with the back of his hand. He 
knew he had no choice but to obey his Master's orders. 

"Yes, Massuh James," Elijah said softly. "I'll... I 
mean we'll be here in one hour." 

Without another word, Elijah climbed out of bed, threw 
on his clothes, looked at the rusty stopwatch in his 
pocket, and ran from the Big House toward the slave 
quarters.
