Prologue
"This is Mr.
Thomson, Jackie, the friend I've been seeing. You will treat him with
respect... in every way."
Becky's words
are forthright and sternly condescending, as if addressing an unruly child. And
indeed the form greeting us at the door appears youthful... youthful to the
point that had I not been forewarned I'd be scampering away... perhaps calling
the police.
I've been
apprehensive concerning this moment, despite knowing for a while that it had to
come... if I were to deepen my relationship with the lovely Becky.
Stepbrother
Jackie smiles wanly, stepping back to further open the front door in symbolic
concurrence, then lowering his head and doing this quaint dip, right foot
drawing back, left knee momentarily bending... respect in every way.
As I nod a
quiet hello, Becky smiles in satisfaction, steps inward and grasps the door
handle. With the circumstances, I know to join her inside, suitcase in hand and
allow her to hastily close the door.
"Bit of chill,"
ostensibly explaining the quick timing.
But I know the
rapid movement to veil from neighbors and passers by the bizarre greeting.
Becky removes
her coat, handing her garb to stepbrother Jackie, arms extended, standing in
wait as would a servant. I gaze, assessing, mind addled despite the
expectations.
Jackie is
nude, his only covering slim bands of baby blue nylon at the wrists, ankles and
neck. There is also a mass of steel at the pubes, covering his penis, a locking
ring of steel mashing his entrapped scrotal sac, the bright pink flesh
suggesting the circulation somewhat impeded with the tightness. The uncovered
form is lithe, the slimness of a pubescent girl, and hairless... the unblemished
skin again the presentation that of a girl. With light brown hair tightly drawn
back in a ponytail, the gender obfuscation is absolute.
"We'll have
drinks, Jackie... Cognac... in the upstairs drawing room. Take Mr. Thomson's
suitcase. And perhaps I'll have you put on a stand for him. Would you like
that?"
I place down
the suitcase. As I hand over my coat I see that the notion brings to Jackie an
initial smile... followed by a look of distress. And I understand why.
"Though the
curtains are on the heavy side, we still... ah... take precautions... over the
years."
As Becky leads
to the stairs, I cannot help having thoughts about this encounter...
Dinner with
the Pulchritudinous Becky O'Brien
Having met
Becky O'Brien at a JWW Enterprises office party, celebrating her promotion, our
budding professional friendship became more and more social. Though she became
a department head... at a very young age I might add... operationally there
were few reasons for us to interact. Still, I found reasons and excuses to casually
drop by her office. Becky is in her late twenties, shapely, extremely well
educated, and capable. Yet impressing more is her attention to business, her
focus. Thus spurring her quick rise in the company.
She often
spurned my office small talk... guess my greetings of 'how was your weekend'
and such awkward attempts deemed too unctuous. And finally, I must suppose on a
very busy day when she had not the time to dally, she cut me off, curtly
suggesting she'd be at Joey's, the nearby pub, after work.
It was not an
outright invitation to join her, young women do not initiate things that way.
But I got the message. Stop pestering during the work day
and if you're serious about something then buy a lady a drink.
I did... and
found Becky to be much more open and friendly out of the office.
So a drink or
two at Joey's led to dinner... then another date... and our friendship
blossomed...
"That's a nice
necklace... simple but elegant," out-of-the-office small talk much more
personal.
It's our
second date, a warm evening. I am heartened that Becky removes her suit jacket
to reveal a rather shear white blouse. In being well opened at the neck there
is cleavage, not the type of thing to be exhibited in a stodgy office
environment. The display of a sizable bust on a girl with such a limited waist line is alluring. And in reality, noting the necklace
cloaks my ogling of her breasts, the male mind finding attraction.
"Elegant but
functional," Becky retorts, her smug knowing look suggesting she is aware of my
ruse.
She pauses in
spearing another bite of shrimp cocktail, the index finger of her free hand
hooking the necklace to fully pull from under her blouse.
One would
expect to see a pendant or some memento. Instead there comes into view a key...
a small key. Rather exotic in appearance, the smoothness suggesting wear...
indeed the necklace functional.
"Keeping
something precious locked up?" I pleasantly chide.
"Yes. But not
necessarily precious to me."
Becky releases
the necklace, her smile broadening as she returns her attention to her
appetizer, letting the slim necklace and unlocking shard dangle about in full
view for the remainder of the meal. It's a tease, I realize, sort of daring me
to further inquire.
I decide to
let the matter drop.
There comes a
third date, a Friday evening dinner a week later. We're more comfortable with
each other. I'm rather proud to say I think she finds attraction as well. And
sure enough, in having an after dinner drink at the restaurant bar, the paucity
of patrons fosters direct words.
"We can't go
to my place, Ryan. I don't think you're ready for... ah..."
In my
eagerness I cut her off.
"My apartment
is a quick drive," responding like a horny teenager.
And with her
left hand surreptitiously smoothing along my inner thigh, there is reason to be
horny. In fact I am hardening.
"You're
becoming erect for me," her words blunt, offered so plainly... like commenting
on the weather. "I like firmness in a boy."
And I blush...
like a boy. Her touch is welcomed. But it brings consternation, like how do I
stand from the bar stool and exit to my car with tented trousers.
Becky also
seems to understand my dilemma, hand withdrawing to bring disappointment but an
eventual solution.
"Put aside
your drink, Ryan. No more alcohol. I'll want you to perform for me."
The words
excite. I push my drink away, noting that Becky finishes hers then signals the
bartender for another.
"Such a good
boy, Ryan. You'll need to calm down a bit. And while I'm waiting, I need to
explain some things..."
Becky's
Narrative
Dad died
young. Mom raised me alone... for a few years. She missed having a male about
the house. And in having been brought up in a wealthy family, missed having
servants doing the housework. Her remorse was constantly expressed. She would
apologize to me as I, dutiful daughter, helped out about the house with
cleaning and laundry.
'This shouldn't
be, Becky. But there's either money for servants or money for college... not for
both.'
So in her
mind, there was sacrifice. What Dad left... apparently a good sum... had to be
parceled.
There came a
point when the drudgery... combined with seeing me... her only daughter... in
her mind a budding Princess... labor about the house... brought frustrated
desperation. Someone, I suppose a friend of Mom's, suggested adopting a boy.
And when Mom repeated this suggestion to another friend... a woman whom had immigrated from some eastern European country...
there came a more specific suggestion concerning adoption. And more pointedly
the name of an old institution known for raising incorrigible boys.
But if I
recall the conversation properly... being a girl at the time and serving the
women tea... she used the term 'training'... not raising.
'Times have
changed, Moira. The politics... these formerly secretive communist governments
are open to public scrutiny now. And the politicians are under... well...
pressure to close up places like that. You'll probably find they need to place
a few boys. I'm sure there are some that speak English.'
So Mom
followed up. The internet was nascent at the time. And though there was no
glossy website for this institution, an email address was obtained.
Communication followed. A thick envelope arrived weeks later. My prospective
stepbrother was selected from photos and brief bio info. Mom wanted someone my
age. To obtain one older limited the time he would serve us... so she thought.
And younger brought more need for guidance... though I'm sure that was a
euphemism for correction and discipline.
Well it
happened. It required weeks of time, much paperwork, but surprisingly little
funds, basically the cost of airfare. The institute had to place many boys
before closing its doors as mandated. Therefore money was not an issue.
Weeks before
the flight, a thick padded envelope arrived. I recall how impressively official
it appeared, sent airmail from Europe. I remember Mom opening it and her
disappointment in seeing it contained a notebook written in a foreign language.
She left for
town, dropping the manuscript off at a service. And after translation, Mom
tucked it away along with the equally thick English version. But before hiding
it, from the bold print on the cover, I learned some Bulgarian... that the
words 'Boravene a Voinstveniya
Muzh' meant in English 'Handling the Belligerent Male'.
'You're too
young, Becky', she advised in assuring my eyes would not see the contents.
And indeed, in
sneaking from my bed late at night, I could peek down the stairs and see Mom
reading. She found it to be most instructive... least such was the logical
conclusion in noting her rapt interest.
So the day of
arrival for Mom's newly adopted son approached. I was called to the kitchen...
a mother daughter talk. I feared some transgression had arose. I was thus
heartened when the topic of discussion was my new stepbrother. First Mom
suggested a name. We initially decided on Jack... such transmogrifying to
Jackie when we... let's say... got to know him better.
Then came a
lecture. Essentially Mom encapsulated what she had learned... in the manual...
translated as 'Handling the Belligerent Male'. Curious, I now think of it as an
owner's manual.
Jack...
Jackie... was sent to this institute for orphans by the government after he was
taken into custody. The police had raided a gypsy camp... arresting dozens of
thieves and con artists... perplexed by his relatively light hair and
complexion. He had been stolen... kidnaped... as a toddler... real parents and
place of birth unknown.
What to do.
The gypsies had spent years training him in their rapacious life
style of theft, burglary, lying and cheating. The authoritarian
communist government had neither patience nor programs for reforming
criminals... even those of youthful age. So he was discarded... sent to this
institute where for sure he'd not be engaging in burglarious pursuits... away
from society... and maybe... just maybe... there would come some use for him.
Such was being
undertaken when all of eastern Europe turned to democracy and a government
funded strict institute for incorrigible boys became an embarrassment.
Ryan
Interrupts
"Why would an
orphanage... even for troubled boys... be a source of embarrassment?"
"Methods,
Ryan. The government conveniently looked the other way... the regimen and
protocols at the institute... were... well... rather... unconventional. But
effective. The training was strict. Absolute obedience demanded. And indeed...
there would come a use... for the boys. Again the government looking the other
way... with some officials I am sure finding their convenient nearsightedness
to be lucrative."
"Lucrative?"
"Bribes... in
cash... yet I am sure some were paid in kind... acquiring a servant."
"So these
orphan boys were trained to be servants?"
"Indoctrinated
into servitude. There's a difference. A servant would suggest... guess I would
say a willingness to acquire a specific skill with some degree of limit as to
their role. Like an aspiring butler. At the institute the training was harsh...
no restrictions. Inculcated that they were to be used as desired."
Becky smiles,
her concluding words bringing a dreamily pleasant smile, sipping more wine in
letting her narrative sink inward. In leaving me in thought, her free hand once
again goes to my leg, fingers rubbing my inner thigh, slowly working higher to
renew her palpations. She has indicated that she expects me to perform. A
curious choice of words. And as she again tantalizes, it requires little
imagination concerning the nature of her expectations.
"Fellatio,
Ryan," the blunt word whispered, thankfully imbuing some degree of decorum.
I nod,
repressing a smile of my own, remaining silent in assuming such was not posed
as a question... perhaps an offer?
"All guys like
it, Ryan. And you know the old joke... what are the two things a guy can never
get at home... eggs benedict and a blow job."
Becky giggles,
the professional facade of her office persona completely melting away. And I
join her in smiling, my own decorum remaining reserved as I still do not fully
understand the inference.
Becky finishes
her wine, placing the glass on the bar with a degree of finality and signaling
the bartender for the tab.
"I think it's
time for your place, Ryan. Maybe you'll get some eggs benedict."
Guess I'm
supposed to inquire about the blow job. Yet I refrain. But there's no question
concerning the inference... and no question that all guys enjoy it.
Where's this
leading?
I pay the tab.
Becky suggests leaving my car and she driving.
"Think the
steering wheel will be an impediment for you," nodding to my lap and tented
trousers. "We'll come back and pick up your car... in the morning."
