“Such a sweet thing. Why Los Angeles?”
“I couldn’t stay in Reno anymore. It made me too sad. So I thought it might be fun to go somewhere completely different. I also figured I’d find a job easier in a big city.” He shrugged. “Even though I didn’t like the first one, I never would’ve met Master Ned if I hadn’t taken it, so it ended up being a good thing after all.”
“That’s what I like about you, darling. You have a cheery outlook and that’s how I live my life.” Roddy made a scowling face as if he was starring in a silent film melodrama. “I don’t have the time or patience for fellows who see nothing but the bleak side of things.”
Laughter tumbled from Colin’s lips. Roddy was wonderful.
He gazed into Colin’s eyes as he spoke. “I’m going to learn everything there is to know about being a Master and you can be my submissive. Would you like that?”
Colin gasped. He was afraid to hope, so he pinched himself. “Ow!”
Roddy sputtered out laughter. “What was that for?”
“I needed to make sure I wasn’t dreaming before I answered.”
“Are you awake then?” Roddy winked.
Colin grinned. “Yes, Sir. I am. And my answer is yes. I’d like that very much.”
“Me too, darling. I’m sorry I can’t kiss you properly right now, but let me hold you close.”
Roddy gathered him onto his lap and it was warm and good. Colin placed little kisses on Roddy’s face since Roddy couldn’t kiss him. But Roddy caressed his arms and back, then ran his palm up Colin’s chest until he cupped his cheek.
“We should go have that photograph taken, they’ll be waiting for us.”
Colin didn’t want to tear his eyes away from Roddy, he wanted the moment to last forever. But if he was going to be a good submissive, serve his Master well, he had to obey.
“Yes, Sir. Whatever you say.”
Roddy stroked his cheek, first with his palm then the back of his hand. “Oh, yes. I’m going to love it here at Hampton Road with you by my side, sweet Colin.”
Chapter Five
Roddy grasped Colin’s hand as he happily trotted alongside him. Colin had originally tried to walk to heel the way he had when they’d gone up the stairs, but Roddy wasn’t a Master yet. And even if he was, if he was in charge of their relationship, maybe he wanted his submissive to hold his hand and walk next to him. The idea that he could be openly affectionate with another man without being inside a speakeasy filled with drunken revelry was such a thrill.
“It’s just around the corner.”
He doubted Colin understood how important Roddy’s observation of him had been, how much it meant to have someone as naturally cheerful as Colin was as his partner. He hadn’t thought of settling down before for many reasons. That had been one of them. Most of the men he met were sour, cynical. He understood that a lot of it came out of the frustration of being forced to conform to society’s dictates, but Roddy refused to let his whole life be held hostage to the unenlightened ways of the world.
Roddy glanced down at Colin, an easy smile on his lips. He’d also never thought to find anyone so pretty and perfect. Someone as sweet as Colin who wanted nothing more than to give himself over to Roddy’s wishes and needs. That alone was worth settling down for. He wanted to keep the darling Colin forever. His father had always taught him not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Colin was the best gift any man could ever hope for.
They stopped in front of an imposing mahogany door and Colin knocked. Despite how little he was, he wasn’t timid, and Roddy liked that quite a bit too. The door opened and the man Roddy knew as Javier gestured for them to enter.
Once inside, the first thing he noticed was the large camera set on top of the wooden tripod. A round metal flash lamp lay on a table next to it, and the entire bed had been set up to appear as if they’d been having an enthusiastic tumble. The pillows were plentiful and askew, the bedclothes rumpled.
“Well, Javier, you’re in charge. Tell us what you’d like us to do.”
Colin’s grasp had tightened, and Roddy knew that as brave as he was trying to be, Colin was still quite scared.
“The main thing, Sir, is that I need at least a couple photographs where you’re both naked, intimately touching and where your faces can be clearly seen.”
“Ah, that makes sense.”
Colin trembled and Roddy wished Javier didn’t have to be there with them. It wasn’t an issue for him personally. He’d enjoyed a few good parties at University where he’d frolicked with several men all at once—it was why he’d been booted out—but it was different for his darling Colin.
He leaned down and whispered to him so that what he said was private. “I’ll go first. Then, if you’d like, you can take your clothes off facing me and you won’t have to show anything until right when he takes the picture. Sound good?”
Colin nodded with enthusiasm then whispered back. “You’re going to be the best Master anyone’s ever seen at Hampton Road or anywhere.”
Roddy stroked Colin’s head, warmth filling him. “So sweet. Let’s not keep him waiting though, all right?”
“All right, Sir.”
Sir. Very nice.
Every time Colin said it to him, he stiffened a bit. He’d been referred to as ‘sir’ before, but in the context in which Colin meant the honorific, it was so much more delicious.
Roddy swiftly removed his clothing, then after draping it over a nearby side chair, he climbed onto the bed, settling himself against the cushions. His shaft was already semi-hard.
Once Colin is next to me…
Full arousal wouldn’t be an issue, of that he was sure. Colin stared openly at Roddy’s nude body as if hypnotized. Roddy smiled and nodded, silently encouraging Colin to disrobe. After pressing his lips together, a small frown on his brow as if steeling himself for what he was about to do, Colin turned his back to Javier then slid his suspenders off. Colin took a breath, not able to meet his eyes as he fumbled with the buttons to his shirt.
“Psst. Colin.”
Colin peered up at him, his fingers stilling. “Yes, Sir?”
“Would you give me the honor of doing that for you?”
“Oh. Oh, that would be wonderful. Thank you.”
Roddy gestured for Colin to move closer and he rushed to him. It reassured Roddy to know that Colin wasn’t frightened of him, only the newness of the experience. It was Roddy’s goal to make every new interaction between them as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. He’d take care of his submissive the same way Colin said he wanted to take care of him.
Roddy scooted up, getting into a more upright position so he could get to Colin easier. He tugged on Colin’s shirt, freeing it from the waistband of his trousers. Then he popped the buttons of Colin’s pants, the soft, silken wool telling him that either Colin’s grandmother had been well off enough to give him fine clothing or that the kind men of Hampton Road had made certain Colin didn’t want for anything. After hearing the story about the men from the bank, though, he was betting on the latter.
As soon as Colin’s trousers dropped to the floor, Roddy was delighted to see his hardened length tenting the silk boxers underneath.
He’s not that scared.
“May I see now?” He gazed up at Colin, in love with the red staining his cheeks. He had such pretty, pale skin. The marks Roddy wished to leave on his ass would be magnificent.
“Yes, Sir. You can have whatever you want from me.”
Roddy’s erection picked up a pulse as it hardened completely. Colin was such a treasure. He slipped his fingers under the elastic of the underwear, then stretched the waistband away from Colin’s middle to carefully pull them down. The sight of Colin’s slender, rosy-tipped shaft caused his balls to tighten, hugging his body as he fought the urge to take himself in hand.
He glanced up at Colin again. His poor darling was blushing so heavily, Roddy thought he might faint.
“Well now, look at how lovely you are! I’m a
very lucky man.”
Colin’s face lit up as he grinned. “Really?”
“Very beautiful.”
Colin leaned in, bringing his voice to a whisper again. “Can a man be beautiful?”
“Why yes, darling, they most certainly can. I’ve seen many beautiful men, but none as beautiful as you.”
“Oh…” Colin’s hands fluttered and he played with the loose tail of his open shirt. “Thank you. You’re very beautiful to me too. I was thinking that earlier, but I didn’t want you to think I was calling you a girl.”
Laughter burst out of Roddy, but he tempered it at the somewhat pained expression radiating at him from Colin.
“I’m only laughing because you make me so happy. Thank you. I’m glad you think so.” He opened his arms. “Now take off your shoes and the rest of your clothes so I can have you next to me.”
Colin smiled again as he went about the task of divesting himself of his garments, and Roddy was relieved that he hadn’t hurt his sweet darling’s feelings. He glanced over at Javier, who supported himself with one hand as he leaned against the table holding the case and flash for the camera. His other hand was on his hip and his eyebrows were arched, a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.
“We’re just about ready, won’t be much longer now.” Roddy grinned as much as he could with his injured lip.
Javier shook his head. “No hurry, Sir. Whenever you’re both comfortable.”
He dipped his chin in acknowledgment. Javier’s gaze drifted to Colin, who was folding his clothes neatly, and Roddy could see the fondness there, a crinkling at the corners of Javier’s eyes. Roddy could tell that Javier was being sensitive to Colin’s trepidation. More than ever, he was curious about Colin’s circumstances at the club. He wasn’t anyone’s submissive. So was he merely training? Did he have another job? Did he work at Hampton Road?
“Okay, Sir. I-I’m ready.”
Roddy patted the red satin sheets. “So am I.”
His first few steps were hesitant but then he lunged forward and jumped onto the bed and into Roddy’s arms.
Colin gasped. “Oh! You’re so warm.”
Colin cuddled up to him, placing his palm flat on Roddy’s chest. Roddy curled an arm around his back and tugged him closer until Colin’s heated length was smashed against Roddy’s hip. Colin whimpered.
“I… That feels…it’s so…”
Colin’s eyes were wide, his mouth in the shape of an ‘o’. Roddy smiled at him as he caressed Colin’s cheek with the hand not embracing him. He wanted to kiss Colin properly. He wanted them to be alone.
He’d almost forgotten Javier was with them until he spoke. “Sir? If you wouldn’t mind positioning yourself so that I can see your member as well as your face?”
“Like this?”
Roddy angled his body so he looked completely forward, his back supported by the numerous pillows. He still held Colin flush to his side.
“Yes, Sir. That’s perfect. Could you have your boy lie back against your extended arm in the same position?”
Roddy peered down at Colin. He appeared lost in his head, his hand still pressed possessively to Roddy’s chest, his cheek resting against Roddy’s shoulder.
“Come on then, darling.”
Roddy guided Colin into place the way Javier had requested, Colin not even attempting to resist.
“Does this work, or do you need more?”
If they stayed the way they were, it would simply be a picture of two nude men with their arms around each other. There was nothing particularly salacious about it.
“If you could put your hand around Colin’s cock, then—”
Colin jerked, crying out as his seed erupted over Roddy’s fingers.
Colin’s scent was heavenly, and without a thought, Roddy licked Colin’s jizz off his hand. “Mmm. Yes. Perfect.”
“Oh no! I’m sorry!”
Roddy pressed his sore lips against Colin’s temple as he squeezed him tightly. He’d give anything to be able to kiss him fully at that moment. He was sure Colin had never been touched by another man before, so it was an important event in his new boy’s life.
“Shh. No apologies needed.”
“But I ruined it. I’m sorry, Sir, but you felt so good. I’ve never…” He covered his face with his hand.
Roddy whispered into Colin’s ear. “I can fix this. Just lie back and let me take care of you.”
“Oh. I…okay.”
Colin did as he was told, and Roddy glanced over at Javier. “Are you ready with the flash?”
“I am, Sir. But you’ll have to be still.”
Roddy let out an easy laugh. “Oh, I know. We struggled with it all the time when my father’s winning horses wouldn’t behave for the cameras.” He gazed up at Colin, who rested against the cushions. “You’ll stay hard for me, won’t you darling? That’s your very first order.”
Colin nodded, eyes rounded, lips parted. “Yes, Sir. I’ll do my best.”
“I know you will.”
He winked at Colin, then lowered his head to Colin’s groin and his semi-erect shaft. Roddy licked at him, lapping up his cum, cleaning his sac with his tongue before sucking the tip of his hardening cock into his mouth. Colin let out a keening cry as he clutched at the sheets. Roddy kept his lips clamped around Colin’s stiff flesh, ignoring the fresh sting, then turned to the camera.
“Perfect, Sir! Hold still please and keep your eyes open.”
Spit dribbled from the sides of Roddy’s mouth as Javier dropped the flash powder into the lamp’s trough. A second later, a blinding light burst in the room and tears formed as he fought the urge to screw his eyes shut. Once the photograph had been taken, Roddy closed his eyes, intent on tasting the velvety skin stretched over Colin’s stone hard cock.
“Oh! Sir!”
Colin grabbed Roddy’s hair, his legs restless, heels slipping on the smooth sheets. Roddy sucked him down until the tip of Colin’s shaft bumped the back of his throat. Another flash popped, bright enough that he could see it from behind his lids, the acrid smell of the flash powder filling the room. He buried his nose in Colin’s soft curls, inhaling his boy in to chase away the unpleasant chemical scent.
Roddy ran his hand up Colin’s torso until he found one of the tiny nipples he’d hungered for when Colin had first removed his shirt. One scrape of his thumbnail across the pebbled nub and Colin arched, spraying more seed into his mouth. Soon, he would taste Colin’s ass, prepare him to accept Roddy’s cock for the first time.
Make him mine.
“Mmm.” He hummed around Colin’s softening member, Colin jerking and twitching, little sighs falling from his lips.
The click of the door shutting reminded him that Javier had been in the room with them. He reluctantly pulled off Colin’s delectable flesh to glance over his shoulder. The camera was gone and they were alone. They were supposed to go to the library to meet with Saul and the other men so he could go over the rules then sign them. But if he didn’t spend before he met with them, his thoughts would be too muddled for him to focus.
First, he had his darling to attend to. Roddy pulled a very melted boy to his side.
“Oh, Sir. Thank you.”
Colin shivered against him as he ran his fingers through the hairs on Roddy’s chest. His soft attentions only made Roddy leak that much more, so he wrapped his fist around his own dick. Colin shot upright.
“No!”
Roddy stilled his hand, his heart thumping in his chest from the shock of Colin’s outburst.
He reached for Colin, pulling him back down. “Now, now. What’s got you so riled up?”
“I should be doing that for you, taking care of you.”
Colin’s voice was so plaintive it made Roddy’s heart ache. Roddy rolled on his side then framed Colin’s face with his hands.
“If you’re not ready, that’s all right, darling. I wasn’t expecting you to touch me yet.”
Colin furrowed his brow. “But you want me to, right?”r />
“Want? I’d love for you to! However, that doesn’t mean I’ll make you do it.”
“You won’t be making me. I’ve been waiting for a long time to have my own man to please, and here you are. And touching is something I’m really good at. I do it to myself all the time.”
Roddy cleared his throat, working extra hard not to laugh. He wouldn’t make Colin feel bad for all the money in the world. “Well, then I’m most definitely looking forward to it.” Roddy lay flat on his back again, extending his arms out from his side, palms up. “I’m all yours, darling.”
Colin gave him a quick kiss on his cheek then scooted down closer to Roddy’s groin. Colin reached for him then paused, glancing around the room.
“What is it?”
“Oh, I was just thinking. There’s this oil I use that they keep here at the club, I have some in my room. I was wondering if they had any in here, but I wouldn’t know where it was.”
“Well, I believe it would be okay for you to use what’s leaking out of me, maybe spit in your palm too?”
Colin nodded, his expression serious as he seemed to ponder his best course of action. “Oh. I know. Do you think it would be all right if I licked you the way you did me? That would help, I think.”
Roddy groaned. “Oh my, yes. That would help a lot.”
“I probably won’t be able to do exactly what you did.” Colin blushed as he ducked his head a bit. “You were so marvelous. You’ll have to teach me the swallowing thing, but I’m sure I can lick you just fine.”
He’s going to be the death of me if he doesn’t do something soon.
“Yes. I’m sure you can too. Please, darling? I’m in dire need.”
If Colin kept talking the way he was, he’d end up coming the moment Colin touched him anyway. Roddy gasped as Colin wrapped his fingers around his straining erection, then gently lapped at the tip. Too gently. Colin gripped him tighter, stroking him with sure movements, using his lips and tongue to pleasure him as he moved his hand up and down his length. Roddy was right there, right at the edge.
