The Ties That Bind
By Waddie Greywolf

Postscript ~ Little Beau Peep


Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles
Whilst the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in it's sleep
Come away oh human child
To the waters and the wild
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand
W. B. Yeats


When we were taking over the shop and forming our corporation, one of my stipulations in putting up the money was Dad Jake would be taken in as an equal partner. Everyone agreed, plus I agreed to foot the bill for operating expenses for the first six months. When we called him in the office to tell him, he thought we were going to fire him because we wouldn’t need him any more. I razzed his ass mercilessly about not having faith in his boy. He cried when we told him he would be an equal partner. He stood to make twice as much money as he did in the past. Our announcement couldn't have come at a better time, he needed it as Anita gave birth to their seventh child, a beautiful boy, about a year and a half before. She was in poor health and wasn't responding to treatment.

The child was named Samuel Beaureguard Red Feather Raggazzi. We jokingly called him Little Red Sambeau, but he came to be known as Little Beau. Over the years his brothers and sisters started calling him ‘Little Beau Peep.’ As often happens, a silly nickname will stick. He was good natured about it even when the adults started calling him ‘Peeps.’ So he was known as ‘Little Beau’ or ‘Peeps.’ The Dungeon Master Big Jim, Master Earl, Chief, and I were his Godfathers. We attended his Baptism. Master Earl was on patrol on his motorcycle and stopped by the Catholic Church on his afternoon coffee break to attend the service. He was wearing his handsome LAPD uniform.

The attending Priest didn’t know what to think. “Now, let me see if I understand this,” the priest said and paused for a minute to muse to himself, “this boy child will have four Godfathers; one’s a giant, one’s an Indian Chief, one’s a Los Angeles Police Officer, and the fourth is a Vietnam war hero and body builder?” the Priest asked laughing and added, “Lucky Little boy, he must be very special,” he allowed. We assured him he was.

Anita was already going through menopause when she got pregnant. Every physician they consulted advised against having the baby. They told her she must abort. It was just too risky. Being a good Catholic, she wouldn’t hear of it. There were complications, and she never fully recovered. She remained ill and in poor health until she died two years later. Dad Jake never married again. He and I continued to carry on with each other once or twice a month in a small apartment at the back of the shop Chief and I fixed up for emergency sleep-overs in Silverlake. My master knew, if I worked late, chances were Dad Jake was going to tear off a piece of my ass. Master Earl never got upset or tried to stop me from giving Jake comfort. He considered Jake a part of my extended family and included him in a lot of things at the house. Jake loved my master and was grateful to him for his graciousness and generosity.

Jake was left with seven kids and no wife. Master Earl, Chief, the Dungeon Master, and even Master Jeb helped out as much as we could. Our entire biker family helped Jake out at one time or another. He finally hired a lady in the neighborhood to take care of the two smallest ones and his sister helped as much as she could. His oldest daughter graduated high school and was still living at home. She took over a lot of responsibilities.

After Master Earl’s death and my head was finally retrieved from my ass, I became the Dungeon Master’s property and we lived together for a number of years on Mt. Washington. It wasn’t far from Dad Jake’s and we were all the time taking the kids somewhere to give him a break. Chief and I would go over a couple of times a week and help out with laundry, cooking, and cleaning. If he and the Dungeon Master had any slaves in training they were taken along for “Community Service Work.” At least that’s what we told them. No one ever complained. Everyone was glad to help out. Anything that needed to be done we tried to do to help. The Ragazzi kids began to think of the Mt. Washington clan as family. We practically raised those kids.

The favorite of everyone was the baby of the family, Little Beau. He quickly learned who Chief, Big Jim, Earl, and I were and our relationship to him as his Godfathers. He became the family mascot of the Mt. Washington clan. He was riding on a Harley before he could walk. Half his clothes and toys were on the mountain. Any of the family who came to visit always brought a gift or toy for Little Beau.

Little Beau was our constant companion and helper. He could get us to do anything by batting his big brown eyes. He looked a lot like his mother. Peeps was even tempered and loved everybody. He was almost too pretty too be a little boy, but he exuded a masculinity that was as powerful as his old man’s. He grew the prettiest long eye lashes that curled up like someone used a curler on them and he got teased unmercifully in school; however, he was so quick witted, good natured, and laid back he never took offense. He was soon one of the most popular kids in his school.

I loved him from the minute I laid eyes on him as a baby. I knew he would be special. I also knew, by the time he was five years old, he was going to grow up gay. I talked to Jake and asked him if he was showing Little Beau enough attention. I warned him all the signs were there. He must do something. He was the only one who could show him the masculine love that baby needed. I preached to him until he’d get so angry he’d shake his fist at me and curse in Italian. I’d yell back at him, “Well, if you didn’t want us to care for Peeps you shouldn’t have made us his Godfathers, but you did, we are, so live with it,” I'd shout at him. He’d think about it for a while then we’d break up laughing at the absurdity of it all. Maybe little Beau was genetically meant to be gay, who knows? Jake tried but he just had real problems showing the child affection because he secretly blamed Little Beau for Anita’s death. The kid knew it, too. He weren't no dummy. He had a brain up in lights.

Little Beau attached himself to us. He slowly grew apart from his father but loved him deeply. He just didn’t know how to get his dad to love him. He couldn’t. It wasn't his fault. He tried everything in his power to gain his old man's love. As he grew into young manhood he developed the body of a young God; dark, swarthy olive complexion, a face by Michelangelo, and like his old man, he boasted a sizable member between his legs. He was one of the most popular kids in his high school. The girls adored him, and so did the boys. He could do no wrong. He wanted to be good at sports and begged Chief and I teach him how to play ball. He was forever hounding us to play catch with him with a baseball or a football. He got to be pretty good. He was on the team in high school and Chief, Big Jim, and I never missed a game.

We had to physically drag Jake to a game. He didn’t want to go. He just didn’t care. Little Beau was crushed. He work and played hard, and got really good so his dad would be proud of him. He was a better athlete than any of his brothers. We would brag about a play he made, Peeps would be beaming from the praise and his dad would shoot him down. “It was okay, but your brother could have done better," he'd tossed of thoughtlessly. Jake could be thoughtlessly mean spirited and heartless sometimes. The truth of the matter was, his brother couldn’t have done better. I chewed that old man’s ass out until he couldn’t believe some of the words that came out of his adopted son’s mouth. I told him I was ashamed to call him my dad anymore. He got the message, especially after I cut off sex with him.

I finally told Little Beau to give up. If his dad was to come around he would, but I insisted Peeps must let go for his own sake. By the time, he got to secondary school, we offered him a place to live on the mountain with us. He thought about it, thanked us graciously, but couldn't bring himself to leave his old man. The kid even went so far as to try to take the place of a wife for Jake. He learned to cook and had dinner waiting for his dad every evening he was in high school.

He washed his dad’s clothes, folded them, put them away. He saw me taking care of my master's boots and asked me to teach him how. He kept all of his dad's boots clean and polished. He washed and waxed his dad’s truck every week. He mowed the lawn, did yard clean-up, fixed, painted and generally ran the house. His dad never even offered him an allowance. His Godfathers slipped him money on the side. I gave him money. Chief gave him money. Big Jim gave him money. Each time he would faithfully tell us, “But Beau, Big Jim and Chief have already given me money.”

"Damn, it, Peeps! Keep a' you mouth shut, caro mio, and take it,” I admonished him in my best Godfather imitation. I’d stuff it in his pocket. It always got me a hug and a kiss. He graduated from high school second in his class of four hundred students. His dad announced he wasn't going to the graduation. Chief, the Dungeon Master, and I told him if he wanted to live to see the sun rise the next day, there would be no argument, he would get dressed appropriately, and be ready at the appointed time. We would personally escort him to make sure he attended, if we had to tie him to a chair and throw his big wop-ass, chair and all, in the back of my master's truck.

Jake was smart enough to know when we meant business, but what really convinced him was the anger Chief radiated toward him. He never saw Godfather Chief really angry before. With no emotion, Chief asked Jake if he ever saw pictures of a man who was scalped? "It ain't pretty, Jake," he said. Later Jake told me he never wanted to see Chief angry again either. He was scared to death that big Indian was going to scalp him if he didn’t do as we told him. I would have handed Chief the knife.

We took Little Beau to a lot of the family gatherings over the years. He knew the score and had no problem throwing his clothes off with me, Charlie, Blaine, the eunuchs, Will, and Button. (he loved Button) All the family knew and loved him. We don’t know how they found out, but there was a contingency of about fifty bad-ass bikers attended his graduation who stood and yelled for him when he walked across the stage to get his diploma. His dad was impressed these guys thought enough of his kid to come to his graduation. Little Beau was thrilled beyond words they came and were carrying him around on their shoulders afterwards. It did a lot for his image among his peers as well. His classmates were impressed.

* * * * * * *
Several years after his graduation we sold the house on Mt. Washington and bought a huge estate in San Diego County with several houses and big garages with apartments over them. Little Beau was still living with his dad and playing housewife. His dad took him for granted. Little Beau helped us move and was around us a lot that month. He always insisted he had to be home for his dad to take care of him. He did spend several nights away with us in San Diego with his dad’s permission. Here he was twenty-one and still asking his dad’s permission for every move he made. He never complained. He just graciously accepted it was his lot while living in his father's house.

That weekend I asked him what he wanted to do with his life. He told me he wanted to go to college to become a veterinarian, but his dad said it would be too expensive. We knew Jake put four of the kids through college with no sweat. They weren’t half as intelligent or bright as Little Beau. They didn’t make near the grades Beau made in high school. Jake was making damn good money from the shop.

We were approached by a larger firm to buy us out at a huge profit so we decided to sell. Everyone could retire in comfort from what we got. Jake ended up with enough to be comfortable the rest of his life but wouldn’t agree to put the kid through college. Partner or no, I was about ready to write Jake off. I was angry. Chief was angry. The Dungeon Master was livid. I asked one question of them both and before I could get it out of my mouth, they yelled an answer in unison.

“What if we...?”

 “Yes!” they exclaimed in reply.

We simply moved Little Beau in with us and told his father he would be attending U.S.C. (San Diego) in the fall for Veterinary Medicine. If he wanted to see him he would have to come down. Jake didn’t seem to care one way or the other. Except now, he was alone. Once in a while we’d get a phone call from Jake in an evening to see how we were doing, but he would never ask a word about Little Beau. We didn't let his incurious behavior put us off, we would tell him about Little Beau; he was doing well and making top grades. We were so proud of him. Jake never once asked to speak to the boy. Little Beau finished his freshman year at the top of his class, and we couldn’t have been happier.

We bought him a small car, and he loved it. He was beginning to have sex with guys and wanted to know if we would. We told him we didn’t think it would be a good idea because we were his Godfathers and so close to his old man, but we had no problem with him finding someone else in the family. God help us, he picked old Sarge to fall in love with as a Master/mentor. Wouldn’t you know? Titus and Button welcomed him into the family. That dirty old man, Sarge, taught the kid about good sex. How to give it, and how to take it. He taught him well, and I’ll have to give the old fart his due, no one could have done it better than Sarge.

I spent many a wonderful, happy evening riding his cock calling him every name that came to my head to get him to fuck me harder. He never let me down. Then he’d have me trade places with him. He’d get into the sling, and I’d slam my old cock into him as hard as I could. Sarge would tell me I could come up his butt, but if I didn’t get him off the second time when I shot, he was going to cut my dick and balls off. I never failed him either. I told everyone I had no doubt that filthy old pervert would do exactly what he said he was going to do to me so I had to bust his ass to make sure he got what he needed. Then, we’d both roar with laughter. We laughed for years together about our bonding and the sex games we played. Then one night he passed away in his sleep. No one in our family expected it.

God, I loved that old man. Sarge was like a second dad to me. I cried more at his funeral than I did my Masters. Why? Because I learned to let go; how to get it out. I had to. I didn't have another choice. My love, Big Beryl, wasn’t around any more to take me to the barn to use his twelve-foot black-snake whip on my ass to take my mind off my misery so I could start living again. In memory of one of the finest men I ever knew or played with, Sarge was a man among men. I miss him today with all my heart, and I can’t stop the tears as I write this. Under that gruff, mean, foul mouthed, facade beat the heart of one of the kindest, gentlest, caring, giving men I ever had the pleasure to know.

I accompanied Little Beau to Los Angeles to visit his father the end of his freshman year at U.C.S.D. His grades were tops in his class. I left him with his dad and went to visit friends. Bull and Charlie were moving to the San Diego area to be nearer to us. I spent several days with them helping pack and and several with Sam and Doctor Yoshie. I had a good time. I called Jake’s house and Little Beau answered. He was reserved, and said he was ready for me to pick him up. I drove by and Jake was all over me hugging and kissing me. He said he was so glad to see me again. I noticed as we left Jake never tried to hug Little Beau, give him a kiss, or tell him ‘goodbye.’ I just figured they said their ‘goodbyes’ before I got there.

Little Beau got into the truck and quietly closed the door to wait for me. It was a quiet, introspective ride back to San Diego. I wanted to reach out to him, but I didn’t know how. I decided to let things be and be there if he needed me. Just beyond San Clemente, near the nuclear reactors, Little Beau kept looking at the ocean with his face turned away from me. It was getting dark, but I could occasionally see his face reflected in the window. There were tears running down his cheeks, but he didn’t want me to see he was crying. I pulled off into a rest area near the San Onofre Beach. I got out, used the head, and came back to the truck. I went to the passenger side and told him to get out, we were going to take a walk. He looked like a seventy-five year old man who had the burdens of the world on his little shoulders.

I made him take his boots off. I took mine off, and we threw them behind the seat. We walked down to the ocean and hand in hand we walked along the beach in the sand with water coming up to our feet every now and then. He wouldn’t talk. A full moon was rising and we were walking far away from the few on the beach. I knew the child, the boy, the young man walking beside me so well he could’ve been my own son. In many ways, I felt he was. I certainly wished he was my progeny. My heart ached for him, but I didn’t know what to do. What could I say to him? I was his dad's part-time sex-slave for years. Jake freely gave me the love Peeps needed for himself but never got.  

I’ve always been told to follow my heart. I grabbed him, pulled him to me, and kissed him hard with a tender, lingering kiss. At first he was shocked and a bit surprised. He stiffened but then relaxed and allowed himself to flow into his Godfather. He knew I understood without saying a word. It opened the flood gates on both sides of the damn. His and mine. We were reduced to holding each other and letting it all come out. Our tears mingled with the same salinity as the ocean waters that washed against our bare feet. I gently let him go and held him at arms length to speak to him.

“Peeps, I don’t care what happened. I don’t wanna’ know. I’d probably go back and kick the worthless old bastard’s ass, but one thing you have to know is you have a large family, natural and extended, who love and care about you. I ain't just talking about your Godfathers but your brother’s and sister’s too. There ain’t a week goes by we don’t get a call from one or all of them wanting to know how you’re doing and if they can help in any way. Hell, they’ve been down here to visit us and you more’n they have your old man. I am and always will be your number one fan and cheering section. I am, after all, your Godfather. Chief is number two and the Dungeon Master is number three. Sarge is a close runner up,” I said. He laughed. He looped his elbow through mine and we walked some more down the beach.

“Nothing happened, Beau,” Peeps said quietly, “absolutely nothing. If he was mad at me about something it would have been all right, but there was nothing.” He broke into tears as we walked. “I cleaned the house. I fixed breakfast, lunch, and dinner for him. I washed his clothes. I cleaned and shined his boots. I washed, vacuumed, and waxed his truck. I cleaned up the yard. I washed, dried, and folded his clothes, but he didn’t thank me for anything. Never said I did a good job or even a bad one. He just doesn’t love me, Beau, and I have always tried hard to win his love. I guess I just realized this weekend, I can’t do it any more, Beau. I just don't wanna' try no more,” he said. He was devastated. I was too. I couldn’t imagine what had come over the man. He wasn't the Dad Jake I knew and loved all those years. To do this to his own flesh and blood was totally unacceptable. Why didn’t he just tell the kid to fuck off, I don’t want to be bothered by you anymore. It would be kinder than what he was doing to him. By completely ignoring Peeps, in essence, Jake was cutting the kids balls off.

“What did he do while you were there, Beau?” I asked.

“Nothing but watch television. He never talked to me. Never said more than a handful of words. He grunted several times and farted twice. Even when we ate, he never asked how I was doing in school. Nothing. Just got up, put his plate in the sink and went back to his T.V.  I tried to talk to him several times, but he hushed me up telling me he wanted to see what was on T.V. I gave up. I went and found something else to clean. That was my vacation with my dad, Beau.” He kind of giggled a disappointed little laugh. “I don’t know what I expected. He never has paid any attention to me,” Peeps lamented, “but like a fool I kept trying. I keep telling myself, one day soon, he will wake up and love me, but I'm afraid he's waited too long,” Peeps said.

“Look, I told you to stop trying. Next time don’t “do” for him. Just sit and make him nervous. Just be strong and sit there until you get a reaction, then go from there. Beat him at his own sick game. I’ve known your dad a Hell of a lot longer than you, and I know what pulls his strings.”

“Beau? Why does my dad love you so much? He brightens up every time you come around. He’s never done that for me. Did you and my dad have a ‘thing’ at one time?” he asked.

“By ‘thing,’ do you mean sex?” I asked in reply.

“Yes, sir,” Peeps replied.

“We’ll, I’m too damn mad at your dad to protect him any longer, and you know me so well you’d know in a minute if I lied to you; besides you’re old enough you deserve to know truth. Yes, we did. For many years, I was your dad's part-time slave. We never crossed the barrier between gay and straight. He was a straight master who liked to use and be serviced by a male slave. While we loved each other deeply, we approached it from different perspectives. Didn't matter none. What mattered was we meet in the middle, and it worked for us. I serviced your dad two to three times a week up until Master Earl was killed. My master knew about Jake and our bond and accepted your dad as part of our family. I won’t lie to you, Peeps, ‘cause I’ve come to love you more than I ever loved your dad and that was a powerful lot at one time.  

"There was a small, single apartment at the back of the shop which hadn’t been used for years. Sam originally fixed it up for Yoshie to hide in when he first escaped Breed years ago. Chief and I fixed it up, ‘cause it had an outside entry, and we could use it if we got stuck in Hollywood for the night. Or Chief could use it if he didn’t want to bring a trick back to Mt. Washington, he could take him there. We painted, redid the floor and made it comfortable. We put an air conditioning unit for comfort and redid the bath to make it nice. Someone could have lived there. After I showed it to your dad, he and I started to use it after work when our schedules allowed. Maybe twice a week, sometimes three, I took care of him all those years. I haven’t been with him since you were in junior high school, and I saw what he was doing to you. I’m sorry Beau, but I love you deeply and just couldn’t have sex with Jake while I watched him reject you,” I said.

“I never knew. Now it makes things more clear. I would’ve never guessed you and my dad...” he couldn't finish.

“Don’t hate me, Darlin,’ I couldn’t stand that. It would break my heart, I love you so much,” I said. I held him tightly in my arms.

“I don’t, Beau, but it does tell me something. He’s still in love with you, and I’m just an echo of that love. I killed his wife and then I destroyed your love for him. No wonder he hates me,” he said and started crying again.

“I promise you, Peeps, I’ll make it up to you somehow,” I said to him.

“You already have, Beau. Look what you’re doing for me. You guys are so kind and giving. I can’t even look at something I might like or one of you will buy it for me. No young man could ask for better Godfathers, but you’re more like three big brothers. Hell, I love you guys like I could never love my old man. You guys were always there if I needed anything or a shoulder to cry on. I didn’t realize until I was older how many weekends you guys gave up to see to my happiness. You guys became my dads. I wanted dad to love me. I wanted to love him, but it’s hard when you get nothing in return, Beau,” he said through his tears. I held him as he cried some more. “Tell me, Beau?” He looked at me with those killer brown eyes of his. “If you had sex with my old man, why won’t you ‘get down’ with me?” he asked. He was right. He mentally grabbed me by the gonads. If I really loved him as I claimed, why was I denying him what he probably needed from me?

“Would it help if we were intimate?” I asked softly and stole a kiss from him.

“I need to be loved this evening. I need love from someone, and I’d rather it be you than any person on this Earth,” he said.

“You know what, Tiger? I need you, too,” I replied. We kissed again. I’d never been intimate with Little Beau before that evening, but I felt we both needed it. I stopped and got us a motel room in Carlsbad and called back to Bear Park. (our name for our place) I told my master we were stopping for the night, ‘cause we were tired. Neither wanted to drive any more. There was a show on cable I didn’t want to miss. My master knew me so well by that time he understood from a few well chosen words it was a ‘situation.’

“Ya’ll have fun now, y’hear?” the Dungeon Master said laughing as he hung up the phone. My master knew me too well and understood Peeps needed me. Little Beau and I made love five times that night. He couldn’t get enough, and I couldn’t fill him enough. Sarge is one Hell of a teacher. I bought him a box of those god-awful cigars he loves after that night with Peeps, but never told him why. Little Beau and Big Beau fell in love that night. We bonded, and I knew I would never let anything bad happen to him again as long as I was alive. He slowly became more our son than he was Jake’s. I wasn’t going to let Jake hurt him anymore either.

The end of Little Beau’s Sophomore year came and went. That summer he spent with us or the family. I occasionally had sex with him. The Dungeon Master and Chief began to use him every now and then. He was learning that sex didn’t mean you had to latch on to everyone who made a night of love to you. I don't know who he learned it from. Maybe Sarge? He didn’t learn it from me. I still fall in love with anyone who throws a decent fuck in me. So, I’m weak. Peeps never once mentioned going to see his dad that summer. The phone calls from Jake became more infrequent. The oldest daughter called and said he was miserable because Little Beau didn’t call or come to visit.

“Good, serves him right!” I told her then I laughed. She didn’t want to agree but her giggle told me volumes. Jake’s kids knew what he did to Little Beau and tried to talk with him. They all expressed their disappointment the way their dad treated Little Beau. Then she said, “I think he’s gonna’ drive down to visit Little Beau.” I told her fine, we’d love to see him. He was certainly welcome. Two days later I got a call from Jake asking if he could come down to visit?

“Sure come on down, we got plenty of room. Stay as long as you like,” I said.

I gave him instructions how to get to our place, and he found it with no problem. I was so proud of Little Beau. His dad arrived, but he didn’t run to him as usual. He walked into the room after his dad was there for a while and simply said with no emotion, “Hi, Dad,”and walked on through to the kitchen to get a cold drink. He came back in and asked his dad if he could get him anything.

“No thanks, Son,” Jake replied quietly.

“Okay, fine. You plan on staying for a while?” Peeps asked.

"Yeah, if your Godfathers will let me. I might say the night," Jake replied.

"That's good. Well, have a good time, and it was nice to see you again," Peeps said without nuance, turned, and went back to his room. Jake was visibly shaken. I looked at him with sympathy and just shook my head.

“I need you guy’s help,” Jake said in a low voice. I was afraid of what was coming. I had an ominous feeling, and I couldn’t have been more right.

“Have I totally blown it with Little Beau?” Jake asked quietly.

I wasn’t going to coddle him. “Damn near, Dad. Yeah, I’d say you’ve managed to kill ninety-five percent of any love he had for you, and it’s real hard for any of us to have much sympathy. We warned you for years. Do you remember the arguments you and I got into about showing him love when he was just a toddler? You wouldn’t listen to me. You never heard a word I said. After all, what would a Goddamn queer-faggot know about raising a kid? What were we to do? I wasn’t going to sit by and watch you destroy our Godson. The only Godson, Big Jim, Chief, Master Earl, and I may ever have.”

“You don’t have all the pieces. You don’t know everything,” Jake countered. I didn’t like the sound of that, but I had to know. I let him take the lead. If he wanted to tell us he would. At that point, I really didn't give a damn, and I knew my brothers felt the same. They were as disgusted with him as I was. Sarge was visiting in Little Beau’s room. They were making plans for going to the next family get-together in the desert.

Jake continued, “I blamed him for Angie’s death for years. (Anita Angela was his wife's two first names) I couldn’t look at him when I didn’t see her face. He looks just like her. He has the face of an angel,” Jake said and started crying. I didn’t move to console him. As far as we were concerned it was too little too late. Neither did Chief, Blaine, or the Dungeon Master try to console him. “As time went on, I couldn’t show him love because it was like I wanted to love him like I loved Angie or you, Beau. I wanted to hold him and have sex with him from the time he was in grade school. When he started puberty I caught him jacking off one afternoon. I almost went in to lay down with him to help him. I wanted to hold him and make love to him while he was doing it. I wanted to catch him in my mouth. I know it sounds sick, but I’m being honest here,” Jake was doing a true confession number but none of us were buying it; at least for the moment.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and then I remembered my own dad catching me jacking off to Billy’s picture and asking if he could help. Six degrees separation of probability? Maybe less than that? I suddenly began to see things in a new light. He fell deeply in love with his own son and didn’t know what to do about it. There's no doubt it would produce a major conundrum in someone like Jake. He knew society wouldn’t accept incest. Hell, it has a hard enough time with homosexuality let alone to lust after your own son. He bottled up all this without talking to a soul? He could have talked to me of all people. No, he couldn’t have. He knew how much we loved Little Beau and we took our God-parenting roles seriously.

Jake continued, “When he comes home he acts like a slave to me. I remember you and Chief talking about Will and all the things he used do for you guys. Your descriptions of what a slave should be stuck in my mind, and then I realized I unwittingly turned my own son into a slave without the sex; however, for lack of a better term, it was barren, it was lifeless. It was frightening, because the truth is, I wanted it all with him,” he declared.
 
I looked at Chief and then the Dungeon Master for help. They were staring at the floor and wouldn't look at me. Blaine shrugged his shoulders but didn’t look sympathetic. I was stunned.  What do you say to someone who has asked for your help and thrown you the curve of a life time? Then, I thought, why didn’t you see this coming, Beau? You’ve known that old man for years, but you never figured him to be an uncaring man especially to his own child. Something had to be desperately wrong. Well, there it was staring you in the fucking face. You just found out. Now, what the Hell are you going to tell him?

Jake went on, “He can walk by me and his scent causes me to get erect. Not just a little. I mean a fucking boner hard, Beau, like I used to get with you. He has a scent just like Anita's. How is that possible? He doesn’t use colognes or soap like she used. He doesn’t use deodorant or hair spray like she use to. No talcs or bath powders. No bath oils, nothing. I’ve checked everything. How can a male child have the same damn scent his mother had? Explain it to me if you can?” Jake asked like he was trying to make sense of something he put off far too long.

I didn’t have an answer. I’ve pondered the role of pheromones in sexual attraction for years but found no answers. Except, I noticed of late the same scent from my giant master, Earl used to have just before he wanted sex from me. Now, I can tell when the Dungeon Master requires my services. I don’t even have to ask. I just start taking off anything not going to be used in sex. He asked me one day how I always knew. I told him a slave has ways of knowing those things about his master. That scent is not from an aftershave. It’s a sexual scent. Like my beast is getting ready to go into rut. I can smell it in his urine. About a week ago I passed Chief and got the same scent from him. Blaine was gone for a week visiting with Josh, Zack, and Will in the desert. I pulled Chief aside and asked him, “Your room, twenty minutes? Meet you there?” I asked.

“I’d really appreciate it, Beau,” he replied with kind of an urgent tone to his voice. I was there stripped, clean, and ready for use. He didn’t even say a word. He knew what I was there for and couldn’t get it into me fast enough. He used me as the slave I was intended to be. Damn good, too, I might add. My Yavapai brother could still bring a satisfied smile to this old slave’s face. Later that afternoon I was doing something and humming away while working. My Master passed by me then stopped. “Chief?” he asked.

“Yes, Master,” I replied still working away.

“Fine,” he said and walked on smiling to himself. Now, how did he know? He couldn’t tell me either. Could it be the same? Could it be our bodies produce one or the other pheromones depending on the role we need to play in sex. Is the male of our species capable of producing both? Was Little Beau's psyche controlling his pheromones to duplicate his mother's so he might unwittingly tempt his dad into having sex with him. Flowers have been doing it for eons evolving to imitate the female scent of an insect needed to pollinate the flower; and the male insect, in his attempt to have sex with what he thinks is another female of his species, unwittingly pollinates the plant. Stranger things have been noticed about the human body’s ability to produce scents.

“Dad,” I spoke softly to Jake trying to think, “Are you trying to tell us you feel so strongly drawn to Beau you couldn’t have met a middle ground with your son?” I asked incredulously.

“You know me, Beau, that afternoon I asked if you were free to let me come by your apartment I knew if you let me I was gonna’ fuck the daylights out of you. I couldn’t hold back. I’ve never been able to hold back with you. I would go with you right now if your master let me and you wanted me. Forgive me Jim. Beau, I’ve missed you in the last eight years like you can’t imagine. I’ve even gone to a couple of gay bars looking for a replacement but never left with anyone. I knew to show Little Beau any affection I was going to go too far. I wanted him so bad I just closed up when I was around him,” Jake said.

About that time Sarge walked in to say ‘goodbye.’ He told us he would talk with us before the weekend. I introduced him to Jake and he shook his hand. “Mr Raggazzi, you have one Hell of a fine young man for a son. He’s a good boy. You should be proud of him,” Sarge said firmly. Jake thanked him, and I walked Sarge to the door. I kissed Sarge on the cheek and told him he would never know how much I loved him for what he just said to Little Beau’s dad. I told him I would fill in the details later. I walked back into the living area and told Jake I had to think about this, but in the meantime let’s get him comfortable. Blaine and I needed to get into the kitchen to start dinner. We were on K.P. duty that evening.

“To be perfectly honest with you, Dad, I don’t know what to say," I said, "Am I shocked? No, not really. Does it bother me? Only in the sense that I don’t have an honest answer for you as to how I feel about it. I haven’t had much time to think. Can we just leave everything on hold right now and give me a chance to think? I want to put in a call to Master Wolf for his opinion. He helped me a lot recently, and I want to hear his take on this. Can we get together again after dinner and talk?  We won’t say anything to Little Beau about this and you shouldn’t either until we’ve had a chance to talk among ourselves. Dad, we’re not here to be your judge or jury. You and I should be the last ones to judge anyone. Look at the clandestine love you and I shared for each other all these years.”  

Jake agreed to wait until after dinner to pursue the conversation. I immediately put in a call to Master Wolf and got his slave Zane on the phone. He said he was with a client but would have him give me a call as soon as he was finished. I told him it was somewhat of an emergency. Blaine and I began to cook dinner and Little Beau came to the kitchen with no clothes on to help like he always did. I pulled him aside. “Peeps, do your old Godfather a favor and go put on some clothes since your dad is here, for his benefit,” I asked him quietly. He thought I meant because Jake wasn't used to seeing his kid run around naked in a houseful of grown men. “After he’s gone you can go back to being comfortable,” I consoled him. He started to say something and then stopped. “Yes, Master Beau,” he replied quietly and trudged off to cover himself.

“Was he being a smart-Aleck, Blaine?” I asked.

“Don’t think so, Love. I think he sees you as his Godfather/Master. That kid would jump through flaming hoops for you and never ask why; with good reason, I might add. You’ve never lied to him or told him you were gonna’ do something and didn’t, or ask anything of him that wasn’t for his own good. Shit! Not only him, Darlin,’ I’d jump through them flaming hoops if’n you merely suggested it would be a good idea,” Blaine said and we shared a good laugh at his joke, “You’ve never told me to do anything or asked anything of me unless it was for a damn good reason; in Nam or here. I would trust anything you told me to do in a New York minute,” he added. The phone rang and I went to answer as Blaine began getting dinner on the table.

“Hello, Bear Park, Big Beau speaking,” I said.

“Hey, Beau, you wanted me to call?” Master Waddie asked.

“Yes, Master Wolf, thanks for returning my call. Remember Dad Jake? I spoke to you about him and my ongoing relationship at work for years. Then I stopped it when he began to reject my Godson, his youngest child?” I asked.

“Yes, I remember it well and was a bit amazed as a straight man he jumped the fence for a gay man. Remember, I told you my experience was, it usually was a strong single relationship with a gay man, but he would never venture out to more partners. Exclusivity with one male partner or female is more compatible with straight mentality,” he replied.

“Well, Good Master, there has been a new variable. He just laid it at our feet why he rejected his youngest son all these years,” I said.

“I remember you told me he blamed the boy for his wife’s demise. Is there more? No, wait, lemme' guess. His real rejection of the kid is because he has realigned his sexuality with his son. His son has become his wife and replaced his need for you?” he asked.

“You’re pretty damn sharp, Master Wolf,” I replied.

“That’s why you pay me the big bucks, Slave Beau. There is, by the way, no charge for this conversation,” he said laughing. “It’s far too interesting to sully it with money. You should be charging me for this one,” he said and laughed again.

“Furthermore,” he continued, “The child has done everything he could to win his father’s approval with little results and has gone overboard in his attempts to please; much like a slave would wish to win approval of his master by pleasing him. His dad relates this with his experiences with you being a slave and has subconsciously rejected him more to induce this performance from him, right?” he asked.

“You’re batting a thousand so far, Master Wolf,” I replied.

“Then your question would be...?”

“The boy is our Godson. Our family, here in San Diego, is putting him through college which his father refused to do for him,” I said.

“Of course he did. He didn’t want to lose control of his little slave. College would mean separation, knowledge, developing a more mature self-awareness, a better image of himself complete with a side order of cognitive thinking, logic, and reason. It might mean an end to his power base. To Jake it’s not only threatening, it’s frightening. He’s there to reclaim his slave and re-establish control. He may even ask for your help,” he said.

“Exactly. He’s done precisely that. My question to you is how we should feel about this? Is this incest? Is it psychotic? Should we be indignant and seek to protect the kid? He is our Godson, but he's also an adult. He's going on twenty-two years old. However, we don’t want to see him hurt any more,” I said strongly.

“Well, is it incest? Absolutely. Ain't no doubt about 'tat. But, only if sex occurs. It may be called incestuous feeling, but it isn’t incest until they boogie down. Is it psychotic? Probably not. Should you be indignant?” he asked and paused to laugh, “You’ve had sex with his dad so you live in a glass house. That would be a little like the pot calling the kettle black, and if I know you like I think I do, because of empathy, you’ve allowed the child to seduce you, rendering you incapable of a rational judgment in this situation. I hate to be clever, but what the Hell, you’re the shuttle cock and they’re the players,” he said.

“I don’t think I like the analogy, but I see your point,” I said and laughed.

“Your next step is to lay it at the kid’s feet, but not with his dad present. Don’t even tell him if you can avoid it, while his dad is on your turf. Send his old man back to his domain with hugs, kisses, and promises to consider helping him, but you need more time. Whatever it takes, get him to his home. Meanwhile, don’t alarm the kid but manage somehow to have him sleep over at a friend's tonight. Get him out of the house. Dad is there to cause a confrontation which won’t be wholesome for the boy in the long run. The kid can’t be expected to make a rational decision with his dad offering to hand him the love he never got from him for twenty-two years. Give the kid any lame fucking excuse but get him out of the house. Got that?” Master Waddie asked.

“Yes, sir, sounds like damn good advice to me,” I replied.

“You do that, then you’ll have breathing room and daddy won’t have a reason for staying around if he can’t cause a confrontation. We can talk again. I’m home all night tonight. I’ll be in the office tomorrow. Call anytime and I’ll leave word with my receptionist to put you through immediately. If you need me again tonight call at any hour, and I’ll take your call. Good luck and do let me know how you progress,” he said.

“I will, Master, and thanks,” I replied.

“No problem, good night,” he said.

I hung up the phone and turned to Blaine who just looked at me. “He’s pretty damn sharp,” I said quietly. Blaine nodded his head. “Master Waddie said we needed to get Little Beau out of the house for the evening or for as long as his dad is here, and get Jake back to his place before we talk to Little Beau about it.”

“Smart man. Good advice,” Blaine agreed, “Call Sarge, ask him to come get him. They’re fifteen minutes away. They’ll keep him as long as you need,” Blaine said.

“Good idea,” I said as I dialed Sarge’s number.

“Hey, Button, how you doing, Hon? This is Big Beau,” I said.

“I’m fine, Beau. How’s my Big Bro?” Button asked.

“I’m fine, Sweetheart. I need to speak to your number one master for a moment if I may,” I said.

“Sure, Beau, he’s right here,” Button called Sarge to the phone.

“Hey, Buns, what’s up?” Sarge came on.

“Sarge, we need your help,” I said.

“Name it! You got it, Kid,” he replied.

“We need to get Little Beau out of the house for a while. Maybe tonight and perhaps tomorrow. Could you come get him?” I asked.

“Be right there,” Sarge replied.

“Just let yourself in, go to his room, get him, and leave as quietly as possible,” I said.

“Will do, Sweetheart, be there in ten,” Sarge replied.

“Thanks, Sarge, we owe you. We’ll talk later. I’ll give you a call.”

“Sure, anytime,” Sarge replied. He hung up.

I went to Little Beau’s room and knocked gently. “Come in,” he said.

“Hi, Darlin,’ I want you to do something for me.”

“Anything, Master, you know that,” he replied.

“Peeps, I ain't no master. You must reserve that title for Sarge, Chief, and the Dungeon Master. I know what we shared was me being strong and demanding of you, but it was what you needed at that moment, and I provided it for you because I love you. I'll always be there if you need it again, but I'm just a slave at heart. It's what any good slave would do for someone in distress no matter if he was another like himself. Just call me Beau or Brother, Sweetheart.”

“Okay, Beau, I was only trying to show my respect for you,” he said a little embarrassed.

“I know you were. I know you respect me. I appreciate it, but it ain’t proper right now. Sarge is coming by in a few minutes to get you. I want you to stay over to his place tonight. I want you to just go quietly with him and not bother to come in to tell us goodbye, understand?" I asked.

“Yes, I think so. What’s this all about, Beau?” he asked.

“Will you trust me until tomorrow to answer your question?” I asked in reply.

“I’d trust you forever, Beau. Sure, I’ll go with Sarge. Love to, I may even get to ride that big piece of mad-man military meat again tonight,” he said with a wicked grin.

“I’ll say a prayer for you, Dearheart,” I assured him. We both laughed. “Now don’t come out of your room until Sarge gets here,” I gently ordered.

“I promise, Beau,” he replied.

I hugged him. “I love you, and I’ll call you tomorrow morning.”

“I love you, too, Beau.”

I helped Blaine finish getting dinner on the table. We never used the big dinning room unless we’re entertaining the family for the holidays. We have a table set up in an ante-room off the kitchen that used to be a large walk in pantry. Blaine and I completely redid it to make it into a cozy, kitchen dining area. Plenty of room for everything including a couple of linen storage cabinets. Sarge quietly came by and whisked Little Beau away before I went to Jake’s room and quietly knocked. He came to the door. “Come, Dad, we got dinner on the table,” I said. He followed me down. The Dungeon Master was already seated and stood for Jake. Chief joined us and our next door neighbor, an older, straight man who we befriended and came to know and love us was invited. Blaine sat down and I motioned for Dad Jake to sit next to me.

“Isn’t Little Beau eating?” he asked.

“He went to the movies with a friend and is going to stay over at his house tonight. We fed him and his friend before they left. I reminded him you were here, but he didn’t think you’d care whether he stayed or not. I didn’t say anything, Dad, ‘cause I don't have a clear picture yet about the details. We’ll talk after dinner,” I said. Jake seemed satisfied with my explanation, but he was visibly shaken Little Beau didn’t want to hang around for him. What did he expect? Just because you’re the kid’s parent? Little Beau was, after all, a legal adult. He was twenty-two now. He could drink now and die for his country. Well, he could have done that at eighteen, he just couldn’t have voted as to whether he wanted to go to war or not.

We had a pleasant dinner. Bob our neighbor, a retired railroad worker for Amtrak, engaged Jake in conversation. They held some things in common coming from the same straight mentality. “Well, sir, it was a bit of culture shock living next door to what I thought was gonna’ be the Hell’s Angels,” Bob related to Jake laughing, “Then less and more so when I found out they’s Hell’s Belles instead,” he said. We all laughed at his crude take on our life style. “Then over the years they’s done a lot of nice things for me. A Hell of a lot. Why, two of their buddies cured me of a crippling arthritis the doctors gave up on. Be what they may, masters/slaves, whatever they want’s to be, they's damn good people.

"Good to me anyways, and I’m right proud to have ‘em as neighbors. Took me a while to get used to coming by and several of ‘em walking around in the buff. Hell, now when they invite me to their pool, I think nothing of joining ‘em. They don’t bother me none. They respect me, and I respect them. You say your son is living here with ‘em? That sweet young boy they call ‘Peeps’? If he’s your son you have one Hell of a kid there Mister Jake. He goes out of his way to be good to me and does little chores ‘round my place. Won’t take a nickle for his help. I tried to give him something for his thoughtfulness, but he won't take it. He's well mannered, bright, and intelligent,” old Bob raved on about our Godson. Jake just played with his food and muttered thanks to Bob.

I knew there was a reason we’d been good to that old man all these years. Bob was like part of our extended family. He even called Big Jim, ‘Dungeon Master.’ He loved Chief. Told everybody he had a real, honest to God, Indian Chief living next door to him. We grew to be able to gently kid with him and shared a lot of fun and laugher together. Every now and then he’d bring a ‘sweetie’ by he was dating, but if she got upset he’d dump her. He finally found an outrageous woman who traveled the world who was not the least put off by our lifestyle. Her name was Blanche. She was a terror. A fun terror. Everybody loved Blanche. She insisted Bob get a bike and join the family. They eventually did and were married at one of our family gatherings in the buff. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they finally decided to put their clothes on.

After dinner it took a while for Blaine and me to clean up. Chief and the Dungeon Master helped. I wanted them there for support when I talked with Jake. I already had in mind what I was going to say. Thank God I called Master Wolf. The man was good. He helped defused what might have become a bad situation. We got the idea Jake came to San Diego to pick up Little Beau, demand he give up school and return to Los Angeles with him. Knowing Little Beau the way I do, he just might have done it. He loved his dad that much. He would have considered anything to gain his dad’s love. If I was in the kid's shoes, I don't think I could say no to that old wop of a sex machine. Jake was one of a few men in my life who grew sexier with age. There were more than a few times after I cut him off my gut craved to feel his big cock rooting around in my ass like a hog in a truffle patch.

Fortunately, Little Beau attached himself to two very powerful male figures in our family, Sarge and the Dungeon Master. He was always in Big Jim’s lap with his head on his chest while Big Jim read or talked to us. He’d have his arms around Little Beau holding him. The kid soaked it up. I know how he felt. I got my fair share of the giant’s love with my head on his huge chest. He’s my rock to this day. Don’t care how bad things got, ten minutes in that man’s arms and the world looks a lot brighter. Little Beau was the same with Sarge. Titus and Button were giving enough to let Little Beau have some of their beloved Sarge’s time and love. Besides, they had each other, too.  By this time, Titus pretty much took over being Button’s exclusive master. He reported to Titus first and Sarge second, with Sarge’s approval of course. I knew in my heart Little Beau was going to end up a good master’s slave. He wanted that more than anything.

A good, strong, firm, but loving master would be the perfect replacement for a father who was cold and rejecting. Peeps was wise enough to not kid himself about belonging to Sarge. Sarge became a ‘safe’ harbor for Little Beau. He knew he could give and receive all the love he needed from Sarge and he didn’t have to worry about the complications of a real master/slave relationship. Don’t misunderstand, he accepted Sarge as his master and knew because Sarge was his first master he would always think of him that way. A part of him would always belong to Sarge and a part of Sarge would aways belong to Peeps.

Little Beau showed Sarge the respect he was due and paid homage to Sarge’s boots like any good slave should. He knew in his heart, as we all did, when it came time for Little Beau to go to his own master, Sarge would send him with the greatest love in his heart; however, you could count on Sarge to check out the intended master to the max. As much as I ragged on old Sarge, and he and I went round and round, he was the perfect first master for Little Beau. I will always be grateful to Sarge for that bit of kindness.

What the Hell, that dirty old man was getting a young hot piece of ass regularly. All he had to do was lower his pants, snap his fingers for Little Beau, and the kid was on his cock. Nevertheless, we were grateful for the chemistry between the two. Sarge treated him like a son and Little Beau needed that. When he did well in school, Sarge was the first he’d run to for approval. No one in the family made a bigger fuss over Little Beau’s accomplishments or sang his praises more than Sarge.

* * * * * * *
We moved from the kitchen into the living room. Bob excused himself, thanked us for dinner and left. We were alone with Jake. “I talked with Master Wolf on the phone before dinner, Dad, and he helped clear a couple of things in my mind. What I think we’d like to know is do you want to interrupt Little Beau’s schooling?” I asked.

“If necessary, yes,” he said without hesitation. There was a stunned silence, and I felt everyone in the room physically pull back from him.

I tried not to, but in a quiet, resolute voice I said, “I won’t let that happen, Dad,” his face fell like a house of cards. Jake knew I held the trump card.

“I won’t let it happen, either,” added my master firmly.

Chief raised his hand. “Me either, Jake, that kid’s been hurt enough,” Chief said as fact.

“If I have any say in it at all, it won’t happen, Jake,” Blaine said with conviction.

“He’s my son. He belongs at home with his dad not with you...”

“Perverts, Dad?" I asked. He hung his head knowing I won that round.

“And I suppose what you have in mind is not just a tad on the questionable side? You want what you and I had, only now, you want it with Little Beau, your own son. Just because he’s your son doesn’t white wash the stigma of perversion,” I said.

“That’s not what I meant and you know it,” he said.

“No, you’re wrong. I don’t know you anymore. I did once and would have sworn by your love; however, I ain't sure who you are today. I’m calling in all the debts you owe me right now, Dad, right this very minute, for the sake of your son. You know I don’t want money, but I do demand control in this situation. You gave up control when you started pulling away from Little Beau when he began junior high school. Every man in this room watched it happen,” I said.

“Amen to that,” said the Dungeon Master.

“Who was it who emotionally supported that poor kid all those years? Who was it taught him to play ball? It wasn’t you, Jake. It was his fairy Godfathers. Who was it took him to baseball practice and football practice. We were there, at every fucking game to cheer him on? It wasn’t his dad. Fuck, Jake, we had to rope and hog tie you to get you to his Goddamn graduation. I should have just turned my back and let Chief scalp you. I was so disappointed and pissed at you, I would have held you down while he done the deed,” I said with considerable anger.

“Amen to that, too, Jake,” Chief agreed who just about heard enough.

“I came to ask your help not to get lectured to. I thought you’d understand. You guys of all people,” he accused.

“You’re wrong again, Jake. Your problem is, we understand all too well, and you’re asking us to consider your selfish needs, not Little Beau’s. That’s exactly what you’ve done to him for years. You ain’t shown that kid any love at all because of your misplaced grief and sexual confusion. Now, you sit there and tell me that’s not selfish? Now he’s becoming an adult, you want to demand he come home to become your little slave, but what kind of a master do you think you’d make, Jake? You haven’t done a damn thing to deserve him. You didn’t want him to go to college because, you wanted to keep him under your thumb just like a little slave boy. He was your brightest child. Your crowning achievement as a father, for Christ sake. I would give both nuts and dick to have sired a kid like him,” I said.

“Every man, with or without a cock, in this room is in agreement with that, Jake,” the Dungeon Master said, “Hell, every one of us has become more of a father to Peeps than you ever were. I ain’t said very much, but I’m backing my slave a hundred and ten percent, Jake. I won’t let you do it either without some honest soul searching on your part. Besides that, Little Beau is an adult now, and I won’t let it happen unless I hear it from his mouth he wants it,” Big Jim said to Jake in a voice that nailed his butt to the door. Surprised the Hell out of me, but that was my giant.

“Don’t look at me or Blaine, Jake, you know we feel the same damn way,” Chief added sternly.

“Look, Dad, I’ll give you this, I won’t say no, I won’t help you. There will be stipulations. I want to discuss it with Little Beau away from you. I’m going to see he stays away until after you return to L.A. He’s twenty-two now! We keep telling you that fact but it just don't seem to sink in to your reality!” I exclaimed. Jake looked shocked. He didn’t even remember how old his own son was.

“You don’t have legal control over him anymore. You also don’t have emotional control over him anymore. We do. Call us any name you want, but thank God, he has seen fit to give us that option right now. One stipulation will be he finishes college living here with us. Second, it will be his decision as to how much he wants to see you depending on the outcome of our presenting this news to him. If he’s totally turned off by the idea, I ain't gonna’ lie to you, I’ll see to it he’s protected,” I said.

“We all will, Jake," added Blaine.

Jake hung his head and started to cry. Not one man moved to console him including me. He needed to feel our solidarity. To console him would have shown a weakness in the ranks. “Look, Dad, you know me well enough to know I won’t try to influence his choice. I’ll present the facts and options and that’s it. You better do some praying, and a good deal of major soul searching might be advised. We’ll talk tomorrow before you go back. It won’t look so bad in the morning, I promise,” I said. Jake got himself together and nodded his head.

I walked him back to his room. It was late and I retired to the Bear’s Lair with my master. He held me and kissed me. “I was s'damned proud of you, Beaver, I just wish Earl, Jeb, and Beryl could have been here to hear what you told him,” he said.

“What makes you think they weren’t?” I asked smiling. “You think either of them old men or Master Earl would’ve missed something that good with their baby slave holding court?” I asked with a grin.

We both laughed and then the Dungeon Master, my love, again surprised the Hell out of me. “Go to him, Beau. Give yourself to him,” he said.

I looked at him stunned. “Please, Master, don’t feel like you have to...” I started.

“That ain't a request, Slave, it’s an order. You will obey your master. You must trust the man what own's your ass, Slave,” he demanded and kissed me gently, “And, no holding back from him, either, you understand, Slave?" he asked. "You give him the best you have to offer,” my master said firmly. I knew better than to question him further.

“I will obey, Master, and thank you, sir, for this lesson,” I kissed him again and added, “You’re a much bigger and better man than I am, Master,” I said softly.

“You know that ain’t true, you little shit, now go,” he commanded, turned me around, and patted me on the butt. “Don’t stay the night. You sleep in your master’s arms, not his. Just pleasure him, see to his comfort, give him your love, and return to your master. I’ll be waiting. You may even get a second load up there tonight,” he growled. God, I loved that man.

I went to Dad Jake’s room and knocked gently. Jake came to he door in his underwear. “May I come in, Dad?”

“Sure, Son, come on in,” he opened the door for me.

“My master sent me to you for your pleasure and comfort, sir. I have been ordered to offer myself to you to use in anyway you see fit. Furthermore, I am in agreement with my master’s order and wish to please you, sir. Perhaps, if I hadn’t withdrawn from you eight years ago we wouldn’t be in this position. I still love you, Dad. You loved me all those years ago and know you still do. I can’t turn love on and off any more than you can. Give me your love, Dad, and I’ll give you mine in return,” I offered.

Jake grabbed me and held me tight. I held him equally as tight. He sobbed in my arms and thanked me and my master for allowing me to come to him. I forgot how good Dad Jake felt in my arms. I recalled the love we had for each other all those years and the wonderful outrageous sex we shared time after time. I started getting hard. He laughed. “Your old man can still do it to you, huh, Kid?” he asked.

“You know it, you old frump. I love you so much, Jake. There has to be a happy ending to this. We just have to find it together,” I replied.

“Let’s worry about that later, Slave, you don’t know how bad I need your ass. I may come on entry,” he groaned. I slathered him up real good with my spit. He mounted me from the top with my legs on his broad shoulders and slammed that huge Italian cock as deep as he could into my gut. He heaved twice, sucked in air, and I could feel him filling me with his gizz. It happened just the way he thought it might.

“That was just a warm up, Dad. Relax inside me for a minute, and we’ll do some good-old down home fucking like you like to do. You need to ride your slave-boy for a while,” I said.

He couldn’t get enough. I didn’t think he was ever going to stop fucking me. Finally he started climbing the hill, and I knew he was going get it. I asked his permission to come and he said ‘no,’ save it for my master. I didn’t come but he emptied a second big load up my butt. Jake still had it. 'It'? That undefinable sexual stimulant to my psyche. I could have come in a second, but I learned over the years not to if ordered by the master fucking me. It was a matter of control and my need to become a good slave. Master Jeb was right all along. I was harder on myself than any master’s punishment could have been. I saw it as my master’s right to control my coming.

Master Earl rarely let me come in all those years, but when he did, oh my God, it was like Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, my birthday, the forth of July, Valentine’s Day, Bastille Day, and Ground Hogs Day all rolled into one. He promised he would have me learn to control my ejaculations and he did. It got easier as time went on. I still could come at a moments notice.  Before he was killed he was working on having me come by snapping his fingers and ordering me to. He made me perform several times for select family members to show off his slave. I was able to obey almost every time. Our family members were impressed.

He’d have me stand at parade rest, take hold of my nose chain, pull it tight, snap his fingers and order me to come. He would pull harder on my nose ring, but I knew not to follow. He wanted me to feel the pressure. Sometimes he would reach behind me and press hard on my plug as I pushed back. Pretty soon I couldn’t hold it any more and would shout, “By your command, Master!” I would shout and shoot four or five feet into the air. Now my giant is following that same training and limits my coming. So I wasn’t real sure I’d get to come that evening. As it turned out I didn’t.  He thought I needed to learn a lesson from the evening and coming would be a reward. My master's use of his slave was enough reward for me.

The next morning, Jake was a different man. Everyone, including me, was shocked by his abrupt change of spirit. He was radiant. He talked little about the night’s conversation, but when he did it was with humility and acceptance. He knew Little Beau was in the best of hands and we would do what was right for him. We assured him we would as we waved goodbye to him.

“Well, Beaver...” the Dungeon Master said about to go on with his sentence, but I cut him off.

“Please, Master, don’t say it, I’ll say it for you...my Master knows best. Damn. I’m so sorry, Master, I even questioned you. I feel bad.”

“No problem, you’ll be punished later,” he grinned wickedly.

“You promise?” I asked seriously.

“Of course,” he replied. He couldn’t contain himself any longer and we both broke up in each other’s arms; glad a crisis was averted.

“You know what this means don’t you, Slave?” the Dungeon Master asked.

“I have an idea, but I’d rather hear it from my master,” I replied.

“You’re gonna’ have to start making bi-monthly trips to Los Angeles to pleasure him to protect our Godson. Whatever it takes, with my blessing, none of us want to see that kid hurt more than he already has been. Maybe Jake’ll find someone else while you’re keeping his beast at bay,” he said.  My master grew into a wise and considerate man, and excellent Dungeon Master and a superb master. I was only too proud to serve him. Fuck. Did he punish me good. Woah. My ass ached for three days. I couldn’t stop smiling.

Sarge kept Little Beau that night as well and returned him the next morning. Sarge and Peeps were like two young lovers, whispering and giggling with each other. It was good to see. It was sickening. That wretched old pervert. Sarge was one of a kind. Still wish there were fifty more in the world just like him. When he passed away we thought we were going have to get a casket for Little Beau as well. It was like it was his real dad lying there. In some ways, it was. That young man went through the seventh ring of Hell after Sarge died. Since I’d been through the fire, run from the rain, and saw the light, I knew what to do. I got him up and out before he had a chance to wallow in a quagmire of self-pity, doubt, and depression. I taught him how to grieve. We worked at it. Yes, it’s work. Why do you think they call it grief 'work.' He didn’t grieve alone, I grieved with him. We all did. Sarge left a hole in our family we couldn’t find a plug large enough to fill. It was so like Sarge. We irreverently compared the large hole in our hearts to another hole what no man ever seemed to be able to completely fill, his.

* * * * * * *
After Sarge brought Little Beau back, we set down and talked with him. We asked Sarge to join us because we knew we were going to need him. He and Little Beau bonded pretty tight over the last two years and Little Beau acknowledged Sarge as his master. I carefully explained to them my phone call to Master Wolf, his recommendations, and why we had to get Little Beau out of the house. Sarge immediately took our view and said it was the best thing we could have done under the circumstances. I gave all credit to Master Wolf. “Wise man,” said Sarge. We all agreed. Little Beau was stunned. He sat quietly with Sarge’s big arm around him. He didn’t know what to say or think.

“If you want to stay with Sarge a while longer we have no problem with it, Son,” I told him. “Maybe, it’s better you talk it out with him first.”

“No, Beau, Sarge knows I love and respect him, but I also know, without asking, he’d want me to talk this out with my Godfathers and then with my master. Am I right, Master?” he looked at Sarge for approval.

“You know you’re right, my Sweet Baby-slave, you didn’t even have to ask. You need to talk to your immediate family first and then your old master’s arms will be waiting for you to listen,” Sarge said. Little Beau started crying and told Sarge he loved him, hugged, and kissed him. That’s just what the kid needed was support from those who loved him most. We did, and for all my ragging about Sarge, I knew in my heart he loved Little Beau without measure.

Days went by and Little Beau wouldn’t talk to me. The summer was coming to an end, and I suggested we get away together for a weekend. We planned a ride out to the desert to Master Zack’s and Will’s. He thought that sounded good. He was in good spirits and didn’t seem preoccupied with the news. His other Godfathers accompanied us of course. We took my bike, and he rode buddy with me. He loved the big bikes like I did when I rode behind my master and my giant. He loved wearing his leathers we bought him, and he loved to see me in mine. He thought I was the epitome of a biker dude (as he called me) with my tattoos and body jewelry. He asked me to ride by the side of the Dungeon Master and just a bit behind so he could look at his big boots as he rode his bike. Like Godfather, like Godson. Peeps was going to be as big a boot slave as I was. We’d laugh and giggle when we saw some man with a really hot pair of boots and whispered to each other what we’d do to him if we could.

Master Zack, Will, and Josh were glad to have us visit and we had a wonderful weekend. Peeps slept between the Dungeon Master and me but he still wouldn’t open up to us. I discussed it with Master Zack and Josh while Little Beau and Will were playing in the pool. Josh asked if he could try something. I said sure. I watched Josh pull rabbits out of hats what shouldn’t have rabbits in them to begin with.

Later we were in the big spa together after a wonderful dinner Will and his kitchen helpers cooked. Josh motioned for Little Beau to sit in his lap. Little Beau moved slowly and made himself comfortable just in front of Josh. Master Josh enfolded him with his big arms. Peeps admired and respected Josh greatly. He set in Josh’s lap and the five of us continued our conversation about nothing in particular. Time passed, and I looked over at Little Beau and saw big tears rolling down his cheeks like salt water boulders. He wasn’t actually crying, they were just coming from somewhere deep within. Then I knew, Josh was healing something or at least breaking the log-jam for the flow to start.

Josh wouldn’t let him go even though he asked to be excused. “No, Little One, you need to sit right here for a while longer. That’s a loving order from this master, Son. I'll let you go when you're full,” he said quietly. He held him tight for about another half an hour. Then the dam broke big-time. Josh let him go and Little Beau headed straight for my arms. It all came pouring out; years of pain, rejection, frustration, anger, hurt, disappointment, and everything else one could think of. I held him while he cried his heart out. Zack, Will, Big Jim, Chief, Blaine, and Josh gathered close to put their hands on him for support and comfort. It helped. Little Beau kept saying over and over, “How could he? How could he?” he asked.

“There, there, Baby Beau, the worst part’s over. Healing can begin, thanks to Master Josh. There, there, shhuu...it’s gonna’ be fine. Your Godfathers ain’t gonna’ let nothing happen what ain’t comfortable for you. Master Zack, can Little Beau and I go sit on your rock and watch the Sun go down? I think we need to be alone for a while.”

“Sure, you know where it is. Nice place to be alone. See you guys later,” he said.

I pulled on my leather pants, boots, and vest. I made him pull his on too, because I knew the minute the Sun went down it would start getting chilly. I led him by his hand up the carved out steps, up the side of the huge boulder to the natural ledge, and set him on the bench Zack and Button built many summers ago. I leaned him up against me and put my arms around him to hold him.  

“You have to talk with me, Peeps. You must tell me what you’re thinking. You have to get it out,” I said.

“I’ve been so afraid to tell you how I feel, Beau,” he lamented.

“Why, Sweetheart? There’s nothing you could tell me what’s gonna’ make me love you any less,” I assured him.

“I should listen to my master. Sarge told me the same thing. You sure?” he asked cautiously.

“You have my word,” I replied.

“I want him, Beau. I want my dad for my master. I’ve always wanted him as long as I can remember. When I reached puberty, the very first time I jacked-off I fantasized about him fucking me or me sucking him off, night after night. My bedroom closet’s back wall is the wall to our bathroom at home. I drilled a tiny hole through the wall so I could look through at him naked. I used to sit there playing with myself, watching him jack-off on the toilet, and get mine the same time he did. I used to dream of taking his come and swallowing it. One time he came in a rag and threw it in the dirty clothes hamper. When no one was looking, I took it to my room, and sucked his come out of it. It tasted wonderful, Beau.

"I don’t care how he wants to love me Beau, if that’s the only way I can have my dad’s love, so be it. I need him Beau. I never had his love. Can you imagine me being his slave and taking care of all his needs. Having sex with my dad is the greatest thing I could think of happening to me. I never thought in a million years it might happen. Then this last week, I began to think it just might. I have to see him on my own though. I have to be with him. I have to see if what he’s telling you is true. I don’t fully believe it, yet. Until he takes me in his arms and kisses me, I won’t believe it. I didn’t want to say anything before now because I thought you might get upset and think I’m really sick.”

“Beau?” I asked him, “How could I be upset with you when I’m as guilty in my feelings for you as your dad? I’m your Godfather for Christ sake, and I’ve been making love to you. How much different can it be? Besides, don't you think I know the attraction Jake has. Your old man is one fuck'n hot son of a bitch. Ain't no two ways about it, Son. My master sent me to him the night he came to visit to pleasure him, and he fucked the holy snot out of me, twice!” I exclaimed and rolled my eyes. Little Beau giggled.

“Was he good, Beau?” Peeps asked.

“Dear-heart...your old man still has it. It was our first time together in over eight years. That old hardheaded wop can still send this old slave into outer space without a booster rocket,” I declared. We laughed together. "But the old sum' bitch wouldn't let me shoot my load and then to teach me a lesson, neither would my master when he fucked me later," I moaned. I had Peeps in hysterics.  

“Yeah, Sarge is training me to only come when he gives me permission. He punishes me with his whip when I have an accident and shoot without my master's permission. I never told him I got the control part down pretty good, I come just so's I can have both," he giggled and I agreed with him, "I'm like you, Beau, I need control. Then you understand why I might want him?” Peeps asked.

“Oh, God, yes! I’d be lying if I said no, but is that what you really want, Peeps?" I asked. "There's lots of other good masters out there you could find who wouldn't have the hang-ups Jake might have," I said.

“What harm could it do to try my old man? I never got much affection from him and to pleasure him might be just what the both of us need. I can’t help love him, Beau, he’s my dad for gosh sakes, but to put your mind at rest, I won’t become his slave without his full measure of love. If I see it’s going to be the same old thing, I’ll never fully commit to him. I’m an adult now. My Godfathers have taught me I have choices,” he replied.

“Yes, you do have a choice. You're absolutely right, but I’m not going to let the two of you jump into this. You have two other Godfathers to convince as well, and I promise you, they won’t be as easy or understanding as I am. You and I are looking at Jake from a slave's point of view. Your other Godfathers will look at it as masters and their need to protect you. We can't fault them for that. They're just doing what masters do. If you ask Sarge, I think he will agree. You have other people to think about. What about Sarge? You just gonna’ dump him because your dad snaps his fingers and wants you for his slave boy? I don’t think so. First of all, I think you love that dirty old man too much to do that to him; secondly, I won’t let you do it to a man I cherish, who has been more than good to you. Sarge loves you very much. Then what about school? With three strong willed masters and one brother slave to back me, I won’t allow you go with your dad until after you graduate from Vet school. That may be four or five more years. I’ll allow Jake to visit, date you, stay the night or a weekend, but no permanent living arrangements. After that, if the two of you still want to be master and slave then Jake pays for you to go through three months training like all the other slaves.

"Hey, who am I kidding, here? You’re over twenty-one years old. I can’t really tell you what to do, but if you’re living with us, I expect you to listen to your Godfathers and abide by our wishes. Your Godfathers love you too much to hang school over your head and say, 'Well, you have to do this or no school.' We’d never do that. Even if you go against our wishes, we’ll still see you through school. We love you, and that’s why we’re concerned. Furthermore, I want him to come down to San Diego to live with you. If he wants you bad enough he’ll do it. Start out together on a new turf. Don’t go back into his world. That old house has nothing but bad memories and ghosts in it. Insist he begin to think of you as his slave and not as his son. Stop referring to him as dad and call him Master Jake. You both must start to set aside the fact he’s your parent. He must realize you’re an adult and doing this because it’s your choice and not his due as your dad. Do you understand what I’m saying?” I asked.

“I understand completely, Beau. You’re trying to look out for me and my happiness, and I love you for it. All you guys. You guys watch over me like mother hens, and I want you to know, I appreciate it. I always have. Other than my brothers and sisters my Godfathers are the only source of real love I had in my life. That’s why I didn’t want to disappoint you by telling you this; how I really feel about my dad wanting him to make love to me. I would lie in his arms in a minute. Do you realize he's never held me in his arms in my life, Beau; never even put his arms around me. Do you know what that would mean to me to have him do that?” he asked.

“I think I can, Little One,” I said quietly. Peeps started crying.

“He’s never told me he loved me, Beau,” Peeps said sadly. Then the flood gates opened again.

God, what parents won’t do to their children. Look what mine did to me. They made a family slave out of me at an early age and then just came to expect it of me as time went on. There is no such thing and do-overs. Who among us suffered miserable childhoods and wouldn't love to go back and restructure those years as we felt they should have been. We can't. It’s as simple as that. We have to make the best of what was thrown on our plate. Some folks spend their lives not living but trying to get over their childhood. Some never do. How is it, in comparison to the number of years we spend on this planet less than twenty of those years can have so much influence on us?

Little Bill, Bull and Charlie's boy, had a great childhood compared to Peeps or me. Give me Bull and Charlie as parents any fucking day of the week compared to what Jake did to Little Beau. He really doesn’t deserve the kid, but Peeps is head over heals in love with his own dad. What can any of us say to him: no, this ain’t right? Little Beau is an adult. He can damn well do what he pleases. The most I can do is try to impose restrictions to soften the worlds colliding. If Jake goes along with our concerns and plans for Little Beau without being ‘Bull of the Woods’ demanding, then let them do it. Incest? Maybe, but it’s not very likely they’re going to give birth to an idiot child.

We sat on the bench and watched the Sun go down and the stars come out as I held him in my arms. I felt his anticipation. He finally just gave up on his dad and decided, as so many gay men do, to find a substitute. Now, he had the doors to a new world opened to him and he was eager to cross the threshold. In a sense, having a master is the same as having a strong parental figure in your life. Structured a little differently perhaps, but the roles and results are pretty similar. Some need it more than others. Some only fantasize they need it, but won’t give themselves over to the reality. They just can’t get over their rebellious teenager syndrome. If they only knew, it was the key to passing into a mature, comfortable, giving, sharing, humanistic adulthood. We talked some more and I pointed out to Little Beau he already adequately replaced his dad with Sarge who went out of his way to show him love and appreciation.

I knew I might as well be whistling ‘Dixie’ in a hurricane. He had to try his dad. He was like a moth to a flame. I felt it. I knew it. Who was I to hold him back from the candy dish? Hell, I had it pulled away from me too many times in life to count, and it hurts every time. I told him how satisfied his dad seemed after my master sent me to him and how appreciative and docile he was the next morning. I told him about my master's suggestion I go to Los Angeles twice a month to run interference for him (Little Beau) until he can sort out the mess or until he gets through school. That’s what his family in San Diego was most concerned about. He was doing so well in school. He’s happy with us and Sarge. Why rock the boat. He has the rest of his life to explore that avenue with his dad.

I did get an agreement out of him. He would tell his dad his Godfathers were now his accepted parental figures. He was living under their roof, being supported by them, and he felt obligated to abide by their wishes. He agreed he would tell him the truth about Sarge. That he found a man he felt comfortable calling master who gave him a great deal of unconditional love and was training him to be a good slave. He promised to tell his dad Sarge was supportive and caring and he felt he had obligations to him. Little Beau would make it quite clear he had no intention of dumping Sarge. When we returned to San Diego there was a night letter delivered Saturday evening. It was from Master Wolf:

Dear Beau's (Big & Little),

I've taken the liberty of dictating some thoughts to my secretary in the form of letter concerning father/son homosexual dalliances. (Fancy name for 'gettin' it on.') I’ve had several cases in my experience, and they are not as rare as one might think. Sometime they occur by accident. I had a man in his early forties come to me all upset. He met a young kid of legal age and they fell very much in love. They had been living and cohabiting ( i.e. fucking like snakes) together for several years. Out of the blue he got a letter from his ex-wife who left him shortly after his son was born for no reason he could ascertain. He immediately filed for divorce, and it was granted on grounds of desertion. She disappeared with the boy, remarried, and he never saw or heard a word from her about the child in all these years. He was stunned. She traced him though a mutual friend of their families and sent him a letter through the friend. She was asking his help because the kid ran away from her world, and she hadn't heard anything from or about him in three years. Could he help?  She enclosed a picture.

Well, guess who the picture was of? You guessed it. His little slave. What are the chances? The fickle finger of fate? He came to me because he loved the kid as a mature older man loving a younger learning man. It was sort of a daddy/boy master/slave kinky leather relationship. The kid was eighteen when they met and was now almost twenty-two. While the father felt guilty he also didn't want to give up the relationship. Should he be honest with his son or should he destroy the letter and picture and just keep quiet about it? How would you advise the father if you were his therapist?

I told him absolutely share the letter and the picture with his son. Do it in a wholesome manner. Preface showing him these things with a talk about what he is about to discuss with him in no way alters his feelings toward the boy. He still will be his lover, master and/or big daddy (whatever), and it will probably be even better because of the news. Tell the kid he’s not upset and still loves him very much, probably more now than ever. Not to let this destroy something wonderful they shared together for almost four years.

He did exactly as I told him, and while the kid was visibly shaken, he immediately accepted the fact his father had, indeed, become his lover and master. He didn't choose to give that up either. Since his wife had been such an asshole all those years to keep them apart they decided the father would write her a nice cordial letter telling her he checked all areas he knew to check and he found nothing. The kid, for whatever reason, never wanted to have anything to do with her again. They are still together after eight years and very happy.

While incest occurs far more frequently than anyone would like to admit there are more tolerable forms of it than others. For example, father/son homosexual bondings are tolerated better than father/daughter or brother/sister. Father/son relationships of this nature occurs ten times more frequently among Brits than American. Why? We don't know. Perhaps, they've got tighter bums? Who knows? Also, I would suspect, (not founded in fact) that the number of cases of father/son relationships are higher than any one has ever suspected, but because of their clandestine nature are rarely reported. Hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Master Wolf

Little Beau entered his Junior year at U.C.S.D. and was involved with school, our household, and Sarge. I began bimonthly trips to see Jake and we fucked like two alley cats in heat. He was always so happy to see me and sad to see me go; however, he knew I’d be back in another two weeks so he was satisfied for a while. I talked with him about selling the big house and moving to a smaller one in San Diego. He said he’d think about it.

Master Wolf suggested they begin to date if Jake was interested. He was. He would drive down, stay with us, and date his son. We didn’t care if they went out and got a motel room, but they couldn’t do it at our place. That was Master Wolf’s suggestion as well. Things went well until Sarge got sick and passed away the summer Little Beau finished his junior year. Sarge made him promise on his death bed he would finish school that next year, and he did. Peeps grieved all that summer and well into the school year. He didn’t want to see Jake for a while. I was still traveling up to Los Angeles twice a month. I started going by Amtrak and Jake would pick me up at the local station. I explained why Peeps couldn’t see him for a while. He seemed to understand. He remembered what I went through when my master was killed.

Little Beau went through vet school and slowly began to transfer his love for Sarge to his dad. Jake bought a small place not far from us and began to see more of Peeps. His attitude completely changed. He paid for the last year of Little Beau’s college and vet school. They began to have sex regularly even though Peeps continued to live with us through vet school. That was one graduation we didn’t have to drag Jake to. He was there with us and about twenty-five surviving family members, yelling, and screaming for their boy. Jake let loose the flood gates of love for Little Beau and that was exactly what the kid needed. It was what Jake needed, too.

Little Beau became a successful veterinarian in a small suburb of San Diego. After going through three months of slave training with the Dungeon Master and Chief, Jake made a claim for him, paid for Little Beau’s slave training and rewarded the two trainers handsomely. Jake has made a better master than any of us thought he might. Peeps and his dad have been living happily together for about five years now. Jake bought a big Harley and they come to the limited family functions we have. They’re at our house for dinner, weekends for pool, or we’re at their place several times a month. Sometimes we go on a run somewhere together. We have a lot of fun with Jake and Peeps.  Little Beau seems to have found his bliss and why not? His old man showers the kid with more love than you can imagine; however, Peeps waits on him hand and foot. He loves his master. He has become his total slave. His master loves his little slave.

It’s worked out better than anyone expected. Wouldn’t you know, that horny old goat, Jake, still wants to diddle me every now and then. My Master orders me to do it so I can’t say ‘no.’ Besides, he still can throw the meanest damn fuck into me any man ever has.

That’s where our family is today. The story of Little Beau Peep may upset some. It was a little disconcerting to us at first, but what the Hell, isn’t love by any definition still love? All of life is living, loving, giving, accepting, and loss. Our family has done its fair share of those things but we remain together. Not as many as in the golden years but in some ways a more quality group of men you can count on to be there when you need them. It's been my good fortune to know and love them.
