16. Sixteen

Carlos

I takea seat closest to the pool. I have no choice, but to sit close to others. It may come off as suspicious if I don't anyway. I hold conversations with some of the men nearby, trying not to make the disgust I feel apparent on my face.

I"ve had to bite my tongue more than once when the man on the right side of me repeatedly slaps the boy in his lap until his nose bleeds. The red-headed boy yelps and tries hard to hold back his tears. "What did I say, boy?" the larger man with a head full of gray hair says while his hand cracks against the boy"s cheek again. The kid couldn't be older than seventeen.

"I'm not allowed to cry, and I must take what my Master is willing to give me without any complaint."

"That"s a good boy. Now wipe those tears away and show me your best smile."

The boy forces the corners of his lips to curve up with his jaw drawing tight, making it apparent how painful it is.

"There, that's better." The man runs his fingers through the boy"s thick red hair, suddenly being gentle. "See what happens when you do as you"re told? You're rewarded with sweet pets from your Master. I love giving my boy sweet pets when he earns them."

I sit up in my chair, trying to focus my eyes on the water splashing in front of me.

"I'm Stephen, you look like a first timer. Are you?" the man asks from beside me.

I nod, still staring ahead. "Yeah. I've been to a few others before, but never in this area. I thought it was time for some new scenery and I haven't had a boy in a long time. Feels like ages. I'm usually always on the go these days, but things are starting to settle down a bit. It's taken me a while to replace my last one. I was quite fond of him. Too bad he didn't last past a year. But I may have found the perfect replacement," I say, pulling Joey"s head back by tugging on his collar. "I figured I'd grab a few extras too in case this one didn't work out. If all goes right with this one, I could always use the others at one of my clubs. My customers usually prefer it when I have a large selection."

"I see, well If you're planning on taking that one home with you, you better act fast and be willing to pay enough money to outbid Cornel."

"Cornel?"

He points at the man from earlier who nearly had me ripping his head from his body the moment he put his hands on Joey. "Ah, Mr. Williams. I'm not worried. Men like him are usually all talk."

"I sure hope you're right. I know what it's like to have your eyes set on something special only to have it ripped away. It's happened to me more than once. Then I found this beauty and was willing to empty my whole account if it meant getting to bring him back home with me. I finally have a use for that new dungeon I had put in months ago."

His laughter sends a chill down my spine. I want a reason to break away from our conversation and sigh in relief when it's interrupted by a server wearing nothing more than a small pair of red shorts. "Can I get you two gentleman anything?"

"I'll take your best tequila on ice and a cup of water for my pet."

"All right, I'll go ahead and get those for you and for you, Mr. Shoeman?"

"I'm fine, my boy is all I need right now. He knows just how to give me the best buzz."

"Very well. I'll be back with your drinks shortly, Mr. Masters."

"Ah, so you're the infamous Mr. Masters," a sharp voice says from behind me. "You have made quite the impression in such a short amount of time."

"What can I say, I guess I'm an impressionable guy." I turn around meeting the eyes of a tall, slender man with piercing blue eyes. "I guess I'll be the judge of that. I hope you are enjoying your stay," the man says, taking the empty chair on the other side of Joey. He stares down at him, smiling in satisfaction. "From the looks of it, I"d say you are."

"You'd be right and this one right here has made sure of that. I'm quite fond of him and am very interested in making you an offer. I'm assuming you"re the man in charge of this place?"

"For this one here? And you would guess right. You can call me Ivan."

"Yes. I was under the impression every boy here is up for sale for the right price."

He nods, placing a hand under his chin. "You would be right. The only problem is Mr. Williams already made me an offer fifteen minutes ago."

"Are you saying it's an already done deal?"

"Nothing is ever set in stone until a contract is signed and I receive the money in my hand. So far neither has happened so I am open to higher offers."

"I'll offer 10k above his asking price then."

The man smiles and stares between me and Joey. "Never did I think this one would bring so much attention. I guess he was worth all the trouble after all. If you are willing to bring me money within the next hour, then he is yours unless Mr. Williams decides to beat your offer and get me the money first."

"You don't make things easy, do you?"

He laughs and it doesn't meet his eyes. "Nothing good ever comes easy, and from one businessman to another, I think you can understand why I handle things the way I do. You know what they say, time is money."

"You'll have your money within ten minutes. Just tell me where to wire it." He plucks out his phone and I pull out the one I usually use for business. I click on the app for an alias bank account I'd opened up recently under my new name and wire the money to his account when he shows the amount I owe.

Ivan snaps his fingers and a man appears beside him with a paper in hand. I sign the contract with a firm hand, not wanting to let my nerves show. Things could still go wrong, and I won"t be able to breathe until I am back up in the air on that plane I came here on. "That is quite a lot of money for one new toy."

"I agree, but I have a feeling you'll be able to get plenty of use out of this one," he says, lifting up Joey"s face with his fingers. Easy, Carlos. You are so close to getting out of here, don"t blow it now.

I clear my throat, nudging toward the device around Joey's ankle. "You have your money and the contract has been signed. I think it's time you removed your bracelet from my new property."

He chuckles. "Of course. You sure are a man who knows what he wants, and I admire that in a person. Someone who is straight to the point. I know a successful businessman when I see one. I do hope you can let yourself relax tonight. Maybe show the rest of us how happy you are with your purchase. No need to keep being shy. You are among friends after all. In fact I think it would make the rest of the guests more comfortable to see you enjoy yourself the way they have. Prove the rumors wrong."

"And what rumors would those be?"

"That you're an undercover cop. Are you, Brian?"

I laugh, running my fingers over my beard. "If I was, I"d be doing a pretty shitty job so far and I've yet to meet a cop who could drop the amount of money I've been spending or who could afford an $8,000 dollar suit." I am now thankful for Gabriel and Isaiah's expensive taste when I had normally sneered at it.

The man stands up, straightening his own expensive suit. "I guess we'll know all in good time, won't we? If I don't get the chance to speak to you the rest of the night, I'll see you at tomorrow"s auction."

I turn toward Joey, wishing he could see my apologetic eyes. "Why don't you sit in my lap, pet? It will be much more comfy than the hard concrete."

Joey slips his bottom lip between his teeth. "Yes, Master."

"That's still ‘sir' to you, boy. You have yet to earn a higher title. Maybe you can show me tonight how deserving of it you are."

He nods and I tug on the leash, yanking him toward me. He falls against my chair and I guide him over my lap. Suddenly a few eyes are on us and the man sitting next to me is no longer focused on his boy.

"Time to prove yourself, pet. How about you show these men how lucky I am, huh? Show me you are worth your price." I slide my hand up his gown, running my fingers up the side of his body. He arches his back, rocking his hips forward. "That's a good boy, show me how much you want it. Get my cock out for me." I yank down his blind fold, needing to be lost in those amber eyes to help me forget about where we are.

He undoes my belt and yanks down my zipper. He pulls out my cock, giving it a few long strokes and slides over my lap, covering me with his gown. No one has to see what is actually happening underneath the material. It's all about creating an illusion. There's a reason I chose the silk material over the see through fabric. I grab my cock and rest it on the inside of his thigh. It stiffens the moment it touches his soft skin. "Look at me, boy. Such a pretty thing you are."

I place my hands on his hips, moving his body up and down until he is able to mimic the rhythm on his own. My cock squeezes between his thigh and erection. "That's it. Show me how good you can make me feel. Take all of me like I know you can. Be the good hole I know you can be. That's all you are right now. My little cum slut."

His gaze holds onto mine, never tearing away as he continues pretending to slide down my cock. Heat pulls in my gut when the friction is too much and has my cock throbbing. This shouldn't feel so good. This isn't even real, but I"m so caught in this moment with Joey, I"m struggling to come back to reality. With heat glazed eyes, heavy pants slip from his lips. I can tell he"s caught up in the moment with me when he buries his face in my jacket, tugging on the material with his teeth.

Guilt tugs at my chest and I replay Isaiah"s words in my head. Do whatever you need to do to get you both out of there. Whatever it takes.

I wrap my fingers around Joey"s neck, applying light, pulsing pressure slightly below his jawline as his body convulses above mine. His eyes roll in the back of his head and he releases a soft whimper. The wetness in his panties doesn"t go unnoticed. With my balls drawing tight, I shoot my cum over his hip bone, and I loosen my hand around his neck, stroking the bottom of his chin with my thumb.

"You did so good for me," I say with shaking words. "It's okay, I got you boy. I think you've earned a few cuddles." I pull him into my arms, reaching underneath his gown to tuck myself back in my pants, not worrying about the mess. "Such a good boy. Rest now."

My gaze circles around the room slowly and everyone is now back to what they were doing before. Some are talking and laughing, some are fucking, and others are busy giving pleasure to undeserving men. The man who was beside me earlier is now gone and his chair is empty. The only pair of eyes on us are Ivan's and his lips are formed into a pleased grin. Ivan is still watching when I rub Joey's neck with my cum covered fingers and use my other hand to rub circles down his back. I whisper in his ear. "You did good, Joey. It's almost over. We are almost out of here."

He closes his eyes, burying his face into my shoulder. I lift Joey in my arms while I get to my feet and carry him toward the exit. Before I can reach the double doors, someone jumps in our way.

Cornel's eyes are burning with fury. "Where the fuck do you think you're going, you thief?"

"That's none of your damn business. The only way it would be stealing is if he was already purchased and the deal was complete, which it wasn't. Maybe next time make sure you"re faster." I move around him, pushing my way through the doors.

He yells behind me. "This isn't over, Masters! You may fool everyone else here, but you don't fool me."

I keep walking with a smile on my face, pretending not to hear him. He's right. It isn't over, but when it is, it won't matter what he believes. He will be dead with the rest of his friends, because it doesn't matter how quick these men think they are, I'm always faster.
