THE END
Pure Evil
Prologue
“I’m putting my trust in you.”
Leather cracked through the air and found taut skin, reddening tanned flesh in an instant. A muffled cry stopped by clenched teeth and masculine pride followed the sound of the impact. Mark twisted in his bonds, crying out as the tall man with the silver temples brought his muscular arm to bear yet again in a ritual they had both come to need.
“You’re going to look after Bobby,” Angelo Vitali intoned cutting another harsh stroke against Mark’s buttocks, red flashing across two red rises. “You’re going to run the operation as I would, without hesitation. Our strength will rest in your hands, understand?”
Mark’s hands clenched into fists, his wrists bound with leather wrapped around his thick forearms several times and attached to opposite posts of the bed. His eyes squeezed shut, their brilliant blue hue hidden by the grimace of pain as the founder of the House of Vitali laid into his lover with all the vicious passion Mark had come to expect and crave from him.
Angelo was dressed impeccably in a suit made for his precise proportions. Black cashmere wool woven tightly over silk lining, shoulders broad, arms long, waist narrow.
Mark did not have the luxury of clothing. This audience with Angelo was undertaken naked, his muscular body flexing under Angelo’s lash. Red stripes ran over his shoulders, his back, his ass, and his thighs. Only his lower back, the location of his kidneys, had been spared Angelo’s affectionate wrath.
“I understand.”
“Yes,” Angelo said. “I think you do.”
He couldn’t see the look of pride on Angelo’s face, but he could hear it in the man’s words. It was no small thing to be entrusted with near total control of the Vitali empire.
Angelo stood with legs spread, head high, shoulders thrown back, the belt wrapped around one hand, the tail of it clasped in the other. He let the end go and whipped it down again, a satisfying CRACK echoing around the palatial bedroom. Not a thing was out of place among the rich mahogany and gold decor, aside from the Egyptian cotton sheets rumpled and sweaty from Mark’s struggles.
“This is your first test,” Angelo said. “Life has been easy for you, Mark, you’ve been living in luxury, spared the harsher decisions. But they will have to be made in my absence. Above all, don’t let Bobby get out of line. Make sure he understands who is in charge. A moment’s insubordination from him belies hours and hours of plotting, do you understand?”
“Yes,” Mark gritted out. “I’ll keep him in line.”
“I’m trusting you, Mark, more than I’ve ever trusted any man.”
“I know.”
The lash landed hard again, punishment accompanying praise. Mark could feel nothing but the sting and the heat, the ache and the swelling. Angelo knew how to give an effective beating. He was never rushed. He took his time. Made an impact. Every single one of the many dozens of welts Mark was wearing right now had been laid with devilish care.
Angelo didn’t ask for submission. He demanded it. If you didn’t want to give it, all the better. He’d hold you down and drag it out of you, leave you screaming and begging to be his.
“What are you Mark?”
The tip of the leather traced a dangerously casual path down the center of Mark’s rear. It was a question with a myriad of potential answers and yet only one right one.
“I’m yours.”
“Yes,” Angelo purred. “You’re mine. An extension of me. I will be gone, but my hand will operate through yours. You know how I operate, Mark. You understand me better than any man in this world.”
“What about Bobby?”
“Bobby understands Bobby,” Angelo purred. “Bobby is an animal. A wild beast. Never mistake him for a man, Mark. If you do that, he will rise up and he will destroy you in a heartbeat.”
A muffled sound in the corner of the room made Mark smile. Bobby wasn’t in his eye line right at that moment, but he could see the young man in his mind’s eye. Naked. Bound. Gagged. Watching.
Angelo didn’t operate in secret. He didn’t talk behind one lover’s back to the other. Bobby was present because he needed to understand what was happening, just like Mark did.
“Are you ready to prove your understanding?”
“Yes,” Mark breathed.
Angelo made a sound which indicated he wasn’t convinced, but could be. He stepped forward and loosened the bonds keeping Mark’s hands in place. As the leather relaxed and then uncoiled from his wrists, Mark pushed up from the bed.
“Show me,” Angelo said, handing the belt to Mark with both hands, a moment of meaning.
Mark took it in both hands too, his head dipping in a reflexive bow. The leather was warm where it had been beating his skin. As he stood, he felt the taut, heated skin complaining at the motion. The pain was bearable however, because it had meaning.
It was tempting to look at Angelo. In any room, Angelo drew all eyes. But he was asking for something else right now. He was asking for Mark to provide leadership none other than the erstwhile terror of Brooklyn, Bobby Vitali. Perfect, sweet, vicious Bobby.
He looked so innocent with those big brown eyes melting above the thick black fabric gag. He wasn’t innocent. He was even more vicious than Angelo.
Mark reached down and picked the younger man up with one arm. Twenty four years old, Bobby was younger, smaller, and physically weaker. None of that would matter if he got the sense he was capable of taking control. Honey Badgers and Tasmanian Devils had nothing on this young man.
Bobby had his hands tied behind his back and his ankles tied as well. He’d been hogtied so it was easy to use the bindings of all four limbs as one easy handle for tossing him around as need be.
“Knife?”
Angelo produced one. A sharp blade was never far away in the Vitali household.
With sure strokes, Mark sliced the ropes binding Bobby’s arms and legs.
“Hold still,” he ordered, grabbing Bobby’s luxurious hair in his fist, he held the man’s head still and ran the back of the blade down his cheek, cutting the gag. Bobby spat it out and gave Mark a smirking look.
“You’re not in charge of me, I don’t give a fuck who says you are.”
“Oh, but I am, boy, and we both know it.” Mark smiled. Bobby had just seen him take a beating, which would have embarrassed most men, but beatings were just part of the day to day activities in their sprawling country mansion home.
Bobby gave him a rebellious stare. This was as much a point of pride for Bobby as it was anything. He didn’t want to be at the bottom of the pecking order. In the outside world he wasn’t the bottom of anything. It was only between Angelo and Mark, he was a contained force for evil.
Mark smiled. God he loved this. Bobby’s rebellion was what made it worth taking him in the first place. He could be such a good boy when he wanted to be - he just so rarely wanted to be. Mark felt himself getting hard, looking at the pale expanses of delicate skin. Bobby’s musculature was softer than his - he didn’t put the effort into working out that Mark did.
“Turn over,” Mark said softly.
Angelo was watching. They could both feel his judgement. Mark saw Bobby’s eyes flicker from his face then go off to the side and focus behind him where Angelo was standing.
“Eyes on me,” Mark said sharply, putting more bass in his voice.
Bobby looked at him, a smirk on his face, as if to say that Mark didn’t really have any control. He was just a proxy for Angelo, that was all. But Mark wasn’t content with that, and it wasn’t true either. It wasn’t Angelo who was hard in that moment. It was him. He wanted to break Bobby in properly - though he had a sense it wouldn’t happen fully now. Once Angelo was gone, they’d have to do this again - and then they’d really see which of the Vitali boys held the power.
“Yes, sir,” Bobby smirked.
“Turn over,” Mark repeated. Having to say it again was already a loss of face. Little shit was making his job a he
ll of a lot harder than it had to be.
“Make me.”
Bobby wanted it rough. He was going to get it rough. Mark grabbed him by the arm and threw him over onto his front, moving over Bobby to pin him on the bed. He could feel the younger man’s body tense beneath him. There was resistance and rebellion as always. Bobby never submitted.
“I’m going to make you do a whole hell of a lot, boy. You’re not going to put so much as a hair out of line, you understand?” With his hand on the back of Bobby’s neck, Mark worked his knees between the thick thighs.
Bobby’s legs spread for him, the hot little bud of his ass winking. Mark’s cock was getting rampantly, painfully hard, but this wasn’t about fucking him. This was about asserting control in the most primal way possible.
Sliding his hand down from Bobby’s neck, Mark clenched both Bobby’s generous buttocks one in each hand, spreading them apart. There was a groan from Bobby, but Mark knew he wasn’t yet doing anything to touch Bobby where it mattered - his rebellious mind.
“You want me here, don’t you?”
He let his finger drift over the soft skin of the inner cheeks of Bobby’s ass.
“No,” Bobby lied. Mark smiled as he heard the little rebellious grin in Bobby’s voice.
“Well, I guess you want the leather instead,” he said, drawing back and cutting a hot lash across the dead center of Bobby’s cheeks.
He knew exactly how it hurt, and at the same time he knew that it didn’t really pain Bobby all that much at all. In the state Bobby was getting into, there wasn’t really pain per se, there was just sensation. Rebellion, fear, desire. They all changed the way a man felt and acted.
Mark repeated the treatment over and over again, working his arm back and forth, using similar motions to the ones Angelo had made when turning the leather on him - but using more force because Bobby’s ass always took a little more getting used to than the average human.
“Okay!”
“Okay what?” Mark punctuated the question with a hard lash, bursting over Bobby’s already deliciously red cheeks.
“Okay I guess you can fuck me.”
Mark snorted and whapped Bobby’s butt again. “You guess I can fuck you? That’s not really good enough.”
He could see Angelo out of the corner of his eye, watching with a smirk. Angelo was so devilishly attractive and so delightfully cunning. He knew what was going on here better than either Bobby or Mark did. He knew this was little more than a ritual display.
Mark had taken Bobby a thousand times before, but Bobby always maintained an edge of assertiveness. Angelo wanted to see that gone before he left. He wanted to see Mark break him.
It was going to take more than a belt to do that.
Mark tossed the leather to the side, and picked up a tool from the bedside drawer. A vibrator with a capacity for high speed vibration, a wand capable of forcing orgasm after orgasm with the devilish little attachment which never failed to find the prostate.
A little lube, and Mark pushed it inside Bobby’s bright red butt. He turned it on and listened with a smile as Bobby started to wail like a girl. That precious internal bud was being stimulated with the force of thousand cocks all fucking him at once.
“Mark!”
He could hear the desperation in Bobby’s voice as his seed was milked out of him, a wet patch appearing under his body as his cock leaked seminal fluid. Mark reached out and grabbed Bobby’s wrists, pinning them behind his back and forcing the younger man down against the bed as he kept the wand vibrating inside.
“Mark! Oh god! Mark!”
Bobby was barely coherent in minutes. This tool was viciously effective and practically brand new.
“You know what I want to hear,” Mark said calmly as another orgasm raced through Bobby’s twitching body.
“You’re in charge! I’m yours! I’m fucking yours! Now let me gooooooooo!”
Mark kept the probe right where it was and glanced over at Angelo. “Good enough?”
“Good enough,” Angelo smiled.
“Good,” Mark smiled back, turning his attention back to the red assed brat in front of him. “Now, I think you’ve got a little cum left, let’s see, shall we Bobby?”
“OOOOOOoooooooOOOOooooo!”
“I’ll take that as a yes.”

“See you tomorrow, Mr Vitali.”
The prosecutor gave Angelo a shit eating grin as they filed out of the court room.
“Tomorrow,” Angelo said, putting on a smile which didn’t quite reach his eyes. Usually the combination of his height, natural gravitas, chiseled Sicilian features and dark eyes which held a world of potential pain for anyone who might dare to cross him would keep a man like the prosecutor from so much as opening his mouth - but his effect was somewhat muted in these halls of justice.
The prosecutor was a cocky little upstart. Oh the things Angelo would have done to him given a few hours of consequence free time and a decently insulated basement. The attorney was a doughy man in his mid-thirties with well bitten fingernails and a perpetual snuffle that indicated a coke habit. Angelo would have broken him of that, and the ability to look him in the eye and smile.
Ordinarily Angelo would have worked his baser impulses out on one of his boys, but that wasn’t an option on this occasion. It had been a very long day and he was not in a good mood.
The FBI were tying Angelo up in a series of petty suits which weren’t going anywhere, but which required his frequent presence in court. Angelo knew this was simply how the game was played and that he was not in any real danger. If they had anything concrete, he would be in jail. Still, being forced to attend court appearances several times a month put a damper on his activities and was a constant stressor in his relationships with Mark and Robert.
Mark was the reason all this was happening. He had been an FBI agent before Angelo corrupted him and was in deep hiding in a secret location. Bobby stayed with him. Mark had a real talent for keeping the younger man in line, even though Angelo had been with Bobby almost twice as long as Mark. Two years and one year respectively, hardly a long time, but long enough in Angelo’s world.
When he thought of them, he felt a yearning in the pit of his stomach, a desire to look into their eyes and see the flashes of love and hate, desire and disgust in their eyes. Being his lover was no straightforward matter. Angelo did not love as other men loved, but that did not mean that he didn’t love at all. He missed his boys and wanted them near.
That was out of the question at the moment. Thanks to the FBI’s endless tying up of the judicial system, Angelo was being forced to live in his New York apartment. It was hardly a hardship by most people’s measure, but Angelo didn’t like staying in the city. Even the nicest apartment was still a concrete box, and the streets were crowded to a point which made every step dangerous. He was a man with enemies, and the city was rife with them. It was a colony of criminality, a place where men lost their souls, minds, and lives on a daily basis. Having a penthouse in Manhattan didn’t change any of the villainy which lay beneath the very thin facade of civilization which most New Yorkers didn’t have time for anyway. You were always two seconds away from a sold ‘fuck you, asshole’, which had its charms on occasion - but not this one.
Angelo preferred the country, where the grounds were open and where surveillance was much more easily undertaken. In some ways, however, the experience was invigorating. He was on his own as he had not been for quite some time. He’d left his small force of armed guards back with Mark and Bobby. They needed protection more than he did, and besides, with cops and feds crawling over him at every corner, having men with guns around would only inevitably complicate the situation.
He couldn’t even have a weapon on him, nothing more deadly than a pen knife anyway - which could be deadly under the right circumstances but still wasn’t ideal.
His car was waiting for him outside the courthouse. Angelo would follow the same routine he’d followed for the last three weeks. Go
back to the apartment, be briefed by overpaid lawyers, eat food which didn’t taste like anything because it was eaten alone, go to bed and repeat the process the next day.
It was the routine that was getting to him. The grinding repetition. He had to give the FBI credit. They’d found a way to make him pay, even if they couldn’t actually pin anything specific on him. Forced into a world of close walls and dry paperwork, Angelo was beginning to go a quiet kind of crazy.
Until the man with the gun stepped out from behind the bathroom stall door.
Angelo had only ducked in to take a quick piss before heading home. He didn’t even really need to go all that badly, it was just something to vary the monotony. That was how far the powerful Vitali had come, reduced to urinating for entertainment purposes.
“Hello, Mr Vitali.”
Angelo found himself looking at the most handsome young man he’d ever seen. He had bright pale blue green eyes which were almost translucent in color. They were stunning. His face was elegantly constructed, with dark stubble across his lower cheeks and jaw. He was a rake, a scoundrel, and a killer. Angelo saw all of that in the creases around this man’s mouth and eyes before he took in the gun clutched in the man’s hand.
Danger had found him. Thank god.
“Hello,” Angelo purred softly, an enigmatic smile spreading over his features. “And who are you?”
“My name is Damien Colt,” the younger man said. “I’ve come to kill you.”
Angelo ran his eyes over the handsome fellow again. He noted the way the man was dressed - jeans and a sport coat. A look which had briefly been popular in the late nineties, when this boy had probably been a boy. He was wearing a hoodie under the coat. Really, his outfit was more offensive than the hold up. Angelo barely dared to look down at the man’s feet… oh, yes. There they were. Skate shoes. Angelo was privately appalled he even knew what a skate shoe was.
