“He testified against Ray in court along with two of the other boys. I couldn’t. I was too scared. I remember Chris sitting in the witness chair hate written all over his face. I had never seen that much hate on him. No fear, just hate. He told the judge everything that Ray had done to us and when he was finished he stepped down from the witness stand and walked straight out of the courtroom. He didn’t even stay to see if Ray was convicted or what kind of sentence he got. He just walked the fuck out. And he never mentioned it again. We never talked about it. Not to this day. But I know he forgave me cause that’s how Chris is. I love him for that. What happened never broke him like it broke me. Nothing ever scares him. Me? Everything scares me.”

Owen
Ben comes into my office with some news. The man never waits for Sarah to announce him he just barges in. He asks Sarah if I’m with someone and if she says no he just walks right past her and into my office. Pisses her off but he says it’s one of the perks of being my bestie. That’s what he calls it “my bestie.” Like we’re in back in high school.
Anyway the news is that Lair is having a play party next Friday night and he and Liam want to know if I’m interested in going. “You know I’m not into public play Ben so what would be the point.” I tell him.
“And you know that just because it’s a play party doesn’t mean you have to play Owen. You’ve been to these things before. Most of the people are just there to socialize and maybe catch a hot scene or two. Come on Owen we haven’t been out in a while.”
“Aren’t you’re taking Aaron?”
“Of course I am. I hardly go anywhere without him but it would be nice if you and Liam and the boys were there too.”
“We’ll see” I told him.
On his way out he said over his shoulder “Scene dress only Owen.”
“I know Ben. I said we’ll see.”
I couldn’t decide whether to go or not. I had seen all Lair had to offer dozens of times but then I decided it might be interesting for Christopher to see some of the scenes. I had never taken him to a play party before.
But first I had to explain what a play party is. “It’s a social gathering for people in the lifestyle Christopher. It’s like a regular party with refreshments and such. The only difference is that if a Dom and sub want to play or do a scene they can do it right there and everyone can watch. You’ve seen the stuff that they have there right? And it gives people a chance to dress in their leathers and stuff and show off since its scene clothing only.”
“I don’t have any scene clothing Sir. I don’t even know what scene clothing is”
“It’s sort of a costume that shows other people what you are. Wear a pair of those ripped up jeans that you have that are more holes than denim, your docs, no shirt and no underwear. You’ll be fine. “
Chris wanted to go. He wanted to go so badly that he talked about nothing else for the rest of the week.
On Friday I made sure my boy was dressed properly. I didn’t want to present him in leather just yet. That’s not the image I want him to portray. I had him dress in his tightest jeans and ripped a few extra holes in them including one right below his ass to make it obvious that he had on no underwear. No shirt and his docs. I put leather cuffs around his wrists, braided his hair for him and stood back to check my work. My boy was going to be the hottest sub at the party. He had that sexy skinny androgynous look to him that he hated but I thought was sexy as hell. There was just a hint of golden hair on his chest which trailed down his belly and into his skin tight pants. I had him leave the top button and just a little of his zipper open and voila. Sexy for days. Everyone was going to want what was mine.
When I finished with him I had him wait while I got dressed. “I won’t be long” I told him. And I wasn’t long. Not much to do. I put product in my hair to give it some shine. I wasn’t wearing underwear either under my tight leather pants and I had my own boots that I was wearing. No shirt, I wanted to show my muscled chest. I picked up the leash which I intended to attach to Christophers collar and stepped out into the living room. Christophers mouth dropped open when he saw me which was what I was going for and he said “Whoa. I am going to have the hottest Dom at that party. You look amazing Sir.” He had never seen me in my leathers before.
At the back door to Lair was the regular door man dressed in street clothes. I showed him our membership cards, he opened the door and we made our way up the stairs. We could hear music and voices coming from the room upstairs. I stopped on the stairs leashed my boy and went in to find Liam and Ben. They weren’t hard to find. They usually took tables near the front of the room so we saw them as soon as we walked in. Actually we found Liam, Alex, Lucas and Aaron. Ben was nowhere to be found. I found out that Ben was off socializing somewhere after telling Aaron to find him if there were any scenes that looked interesting. Alex grinned when he saw what Chris was wearing. Chris did a quick turn to show off the many holes in his jeans. “Fuck, Chris you’re going to have all the Doms sniffing around you.” “You don’t look so bad yourself” Chris said to Alex. Alex was wearing leather pants and his own doc martens and of course no shirt and a collar and leash.
There were tables and chairs set up in the middle of the large sunken room. The edge of the room was the play area. It was surrounded by rails and accessed by two steps up. The area from the rails to the walls was similar to a stage with play equipment available for anyones use. A few doors were set into the walls which provided entrances into private rooms for those that didn’t wish to do public scenes and there were toys hanging on the walls for those who did not bring their own. Large mirrors covered part of the wall and a few large waist high consoles were set in front of the mirrors and held yet more toys inside of the drawers. Two of the doors led to rooms marked ‘aftercare’ and held refrigerators with bottled water, a sink, a cot, a couple chairs and a large cabinet with blankets pillows towels and first aid kits in case of an emergency. Lair provided everything one might need for bdsm play. Lists of rules hung everywhere lest anyone forget.
Liam leaned over when he saw Chris and said in my ear. “Looks like you’ve got yourself a keeper Owen.” I knew Chris could hear me so I said sarcastically. “Yeah, I just might keep him.”
Ben finally returned and said “it’s about time you showed up. You missed Robert showing off his new sub and damn don’t you look hot. Let’s walk around and see who’s here. Come on Liam. The boys will be fine by themselves.” We walked around stopping every now and then to talk to some of the people there and to watch a few of the scenes. There was nothing too edgy and a couple dungeon masters were available to make sure that no one broke any of the rules.
Ben asked me how Christopher and I were doing and Liam expressed an interest also. “We’re doing fine. No serious problems.” And then Ben brought up Tris again. “Is he as good as Tristan was.” For some reason that question got under my skin. I was so sick of them bringing up Tristan that I said “Well let’s just see if he is.” And I started back to our table. “It was just an innocent question Owen.” Liam called after me. Knowing Ben had pissed me off.
“Now what are you going to do Owen” Ben asked following me back.
“I’m going to show the both of you whether he is as good as Tristan once and for all and then I don’t want to hear anymore from either of you about Tris.”
When I got back to the table Alex, Christopher and Lucas were deep in conversation about a scene that they had just watched. I grabbed Chris by the arm and pulled him to his feet. He startled not knowing what he had done.
“Go to the locker room boy, and get out of those jeans. When you come back I want you bare ass except for those boots you have on and the collar around your neck. Put your jeans in a locker and bring me the key.”
I’ll give it to the boy. He wasn’t used to being bare ass in public except the time when he was auctioned but he didn’t ask any questions. All he did was give me a look to show me he was up for the challenge and start f
or the locker room. I called his name and he turned back. “And remember who you belong to boy” I said. He responded with “ Yes Sir” and he was gone.
“What are you about to do to him Owen? He’s too new for you to be playing with him in public”.
“He’ll be fine Ben. You wanted to know if he’s as good as Tristan was so I’m about to show you.”
I could hear Alex and Lucas talking. They couldn’t believe I was about to play with Chris in public. Liam hushed them. “Christopher belongs to Sir Owen and he can do whatever he pleases with him.” But he turned to me and said: “Are you sure about this Owen?”
“I’m sure Liam and he has a safe word if he needs it. And as you said. He is mine to do with as I please.” I said looking him in the eye.
Chris came back into the room walking gracefully like a huge cat. He held his head high as if he had been doing this all his life. And god was he beautiful wearing nothing but a collar, cuffs and his untied boots. He had unbraided his hair so that it fell free down one side of his face past his shoulders. He had no idea what I had in mind to do to him but he walked up to me dropped to his knees lowered his head and handed me the key to the locker. He was stunning. He knelt in perfect position waiting to see what I had in mind. I had no idea how he felt inside but he looked perfectly calm his head down hair covering his face…waiting.
I handed the key to Alex and said “Come with me boy.” to Chris. He didn’t say a word just rose gracefully and followed me up the stairs to the mirrored wall at the side of the room. I asked Liam if I could borrow Lucas to help me because he would be able to get the things that I needed without any problem since he was familiar with the club. He followed us up the stairs to one of the long waist high consoles against the wall.
“Are you going to use the restraints on him Sir” Lucas asked.
“No Lucas. He doesn’t need to be restrained. It’s neither a kink of mine nor of his.”
I had Christopher lean with his hands on the cabinet. “Spread your legs and plant your feet boy” I said to him. Christopher knew what position I wanted and leaned on his hands his head down and his ass out. He did that side to side movement that always got to me, lifting one foot slightly off the floor and then the other before planting his feet. The lean muscles in his body rippled all the way to his shoulders when he did it and it looked damn good. I knew he was doing it for me so I could admire what was mine. I don’t know where he learned it but it was damn sexy.
“Get me a crop, a medium sized paddle and a cane” I said to Lucas.
Lucas went away and came back with what I asked for. He handed me the crop already knowing what I wanted to start with, which is why I asked for him specifically to help me. He knew in what order I would want him to hand me the instruments because of his experience. I could have asked for Aaron but Aaron was not in sub mode tonight. He was in boyfriend mode for the night.
I trailed the back of my fingers from Christophers neck to the base of his spine and he let out a moan. I started easily with the crop teasing my boys ass. He squirmed a little until I told him to still himself.
In the mirror I could see Ben in a chair turned towards us leaning forward with his elbows on his knees watching. Liam sat next to him more relaxed but still paying close attention. Alex knelt on a cushion beside Liam worry showing on his face and Aaron sat in a chair beside Ben shirtless and a look of hunger on his face. I turned my attention back to my boy.
“How does that feel boy?” I asked Christopher as crop sounded against his flesh.
“Good Sir. Thank you Sir” my boy said. I teased his ass and the back of his legs with the instrument watching the nerves under his skin jump with every touch.
I could see in the mirror a crowd forming around the table Ben and Liam were sitting at but now I needed all my attention to be on Christopher. Nothing and no one existed other than he and I and I know nothing existed for him but me and the burn on his ass and his thighs. He lowered his head letting the sensations take him. His hair fell forward and now I could no longer see his face but I could see every breath that he took, hear every gasp from his mouth. It was as if I had become hypersensitive to every sound that he made. Every movement of his body.
I put out my hand and exchanged the crop for the paddle and again started out lightly striking his ass, then running my hands over the flesh that I had just struck.
“Still good boy?” I asked Christopher. “Yes Sir, Can I have more Sir?”
I ran my hand from his neck to the bottom of his spine again and a shudder passed through his body. I began striking him harder on the fleshy part of his ass. His head was still lowered and his hair still covered the side of his face. A light sheen of sweat was beginning to cover his naked body. I struck him again and he moaned and moved his head from side to side. When I struck him again a hiss came from his mouth and “Thank you Sir, more Sir.” Each time I stuck him he jerked and asked for more. I don’t know how many times I struck him with the paddle before I handed it to Lucas in exchange for the cane but he accepted each strike and asked for more.
This would be my first time using a cane on him. “How are you boy? I’m good Sir. More please.”
The crowd murmured behind us and the dungeon master held up his hand for me to pause and stepped up to Chris leaned in and spoke to him in a low voice. Chris lifted his head and nodded at whatever the man said to him while I waited. The man spoke again and Chris shook his head his hair swinging to the side and the man moved away. I’m sure the man was asking Chris if he was ok and if he needed to use his safe word but yes my boy was fine. No he didn’t need to use his safe word. He knew he was already safe. I had him. The man nodded letting me know I could continue. I struck the upper part of Chris’ thighs with the cane and his head came up and then dropped back down responding to the unfamiliar feel of the cane against his flesh. His hands were curled into fists on the surface in front of him. He did his side to side movement took a couple deep breaths and replanted his booted feet. I struck the back of his thighs and reached to grab his hair to drag his head up so I could see his face in the mirror. His teeth were gritted and his eyes closed but he opened his eyes and met mine in the mirror and nodded his head.
“Who owns you boy” I said. He sighed out. “You….do…Sir.” before I let go of his hair and allowed his head to drop down again. I struck him again on the fleshy part of his ass and he made an ahhhhh sound before saying “more please Sir”. I looked in the mirror and I could see the concentration on the faces of the crowd watching us. It was as if they were in a trance. Ben was leaning farther forward in his chair. Liam was leaning towards Alex saying something into his ear. A look of distress was on Alex’ face. I could only assume that he was reassuring Alex that his friend was ok. I had forgotten about Alex but I had no time to worry about him now. My mind was on my boy.
“Tell me what you want boy.” “More Sir. Please more.” and I struck him again at the back of his thighs. He raised his head and shook the hair from his eyes and lowered it again. Sweat soaked his hair and rolled down his face before falling and pooling on the piece of furniture that he was holding to. My boy was having trouble standing. He was tired and beginning to go into sub space which I didn’t want so I decided he had had enough.
Five more boy. Stay with me and count them off” I said as I struck him. “One Sir. Thank you Sir. Two Sir. Thank you Sir.
His legs gave out at five and he slid to one knee one arm on the console to keep him from falling. I handed the cane to Lucas and stepped forward to catch him in my arms and help him stand and he said into my ear, “Thank you Sir.” I heard applause as I helped him out of the room. He walked leaning on me to a side room which was used for aftercare and I helped him lay down on a cot.
Liam, Ben, Alex, Aaron and Lucas all crowded in behind us. As a rule no one would have entered the room under the circumstances but they were all friends and concerned for both my well-being and especially Christophers so I allowed it. Christopher was panting but able to get out
“Was I good Sir?” “Yes, Christopher you were very good.”
Alex handed me a cloth which he had dampened and wrung out at the sink and watched worriedly as I wiped the sweat from my boys body. There had been no tears during the whole session and his cock was thick against the side of his leg. My boy loved pain. Lucas handed me a bottle of water from the small fridge in the room and I made Christopher sit up and drink the whole bottle. I asked Alex to get my boys jeans from the locker and I asked everyone else to give us some privacy. “
“What would you like Christopher?” I asked “Do you want to nap a bit? The party is still going on and there’s time for you to close your eyes for a while.”
“Sir if it’s alright with you I would like to go home.” And then “I need you. “I knew exactly what he meant. My cock was testing the confines of my leather. His pain brought that out in both of us. If this wasn’t a public place I would have been all over him.
“Fine Christopher. Alex is bringing your jeans and he’ll stay with you until I come back. I have to speak to Ben and Liam and then I’ll be back for you. Alex can help you with your pants if you need him to.”
I went out to find Ben and Liam. They were sitting at the table discussing Christopher no doubt.
“So did that prove to you two what I have?” I said as I sat down.
“Shit Owen. I thought you were going to kill the boy.”
“I know what he can take Ben and he has a safe word. I don’t do anything more to him than he can take.”
“Well you certainly had everyone’s attention.”
“Yes I know” I told them. “Now are we finished with the Tristan conversation?” I looked from Ben to Liam. I was sick of hearing about Tristan and how I needed to replace him. Hopefully I had proven to them that Tris was in the past.
