I didn’t have to encourage him to sharethat time. It was like the dam was slowly starting to break. “Austin hated it,but he listened when I said I could handle it. The kids I knew in the systemgot fucked around constantly and I knew I could do anything if I could stay inthe prep school.”
He’d have probably been a shoo-in for ascholarship to college, and meeting the right people would only make thingseasier in the long run. I could see how a very determined Bradley would havemade that tradeoff. But it made me almost physically sick to imagine what hewould’ve been living through.
“It wasn’t bad. I got good meals at school,and between classes and clubs, I got to stay there nearly all day.” He smiledfaintly. “I made Austin join the chess club because then I got to stay late onFridays too.”
That was difficult to imagine.
“He hated it, but he did it for me.” Asclouds started to brew around him once more, I flicked the tip of his cockagain.
The look on his face was somewhere betweenecstasy and anguish, but the shiver that ran through him said it was exactlywhat he needed. “Your attention needs to be on your Master, not the past,omega.”
Gratitude flashed across his face for asplit second before it was gone. “Yes, Master. I’m sorry.”
I gave him a very regal nod before strokingover the tip of his dick again, a gentle reminder about what would happen if hewas naughty. “That’s better.”
He continued, unprompted that time. “LaterI found out that Tanner was jealous about all the time we were spendingtogether. But at that point I just ignored him as much as I could even thoughAustin kept shoving us together.”
I bet an angry, confused Bradley hadn’tliked that at all.
When he took a long, slow breath I knew Iwouldn’t like the next part, but he stayed in the moment with me so I didn’ttease his cock. “Austin let me handle things until the dick broke my arm.”
Shit.
“What did Austin do?” My voice stayedperfectly neutral. I was going to deserve an award for my acting.
Bradley actually smiled. “He flattenedhim.”
Since that could mean literally orfiguratively with Austin, I gave him a faint smile and nodded.
Bradley’s grin widened. “I don’t know howhe did it or how much Tanner helped, but the next day cops found a trunk fullof serious drugs in the back of the dick’s old beater. He’s still in jail. Iknow I should feel bad about that, but I don’t.”
His voice had a challenging tone that Icouldn’t put up with. Flicking the leather against his balls, I shook my head.“Is that how you talk to your Master?”
His body bowed and he whimpered, but theprecum that beaded on the head of his cock showed just how much he loved it.“I…I’m sorry, Master.”
“Continue.” I was mostly a law and orderkind of guy, but I’d hung out with enough vigilante types to agree that thedick had gotten what he had coming to him.
“Within days I was allowed to live in thedorms even though I was supposed to be a day student.” As a reward for his goodbehavior, I trailed the crop up to his nipples and started teasing them againas I made the plug pulse slowly.
He moaned quietly as the pleasure rolledthrough him. “Austin made me put the rest of my stuff in one of his guest rooms,and when I couldn’t stay in the dorm, I would go to his house.”
Bradley snorted, smiling even wider. “Hisparents were gone so much I’d been living there for two summers before theyrealized I had a bedroom there.”
I had to fight back the urge to laugh, butI kept up the pleasurable strokes as another reward.
“He told Tanner everything that hadhappened at some point because he relaxed around me.” Bradley’s eyes clearedand he looked up at me, unsure of what I would say.
“Is that when you started exploring thingstogether?” My change in topic had him blinking up at me.
I wasn’t in any position to judge what hadhappened and I wasn’t even going to pretend to. But based on everything he’dsaid, and everything he hadn’t, there had been a few other importantdiscoveries going on around that time.
Bradley was quiet for a few seconds beforehe nodded. “Yes, just little things at first and more as we got comfortablewith each other.”
He swallowed as his gaze dropped, but hecontinued so I did my best not to distract him. “Austin got the bright idea totry a paddle he’d managed to order online somehow and he talked us into tryingit on each other.”
One day we were going to have thisconversation again when I could make all kinds of dirty comments, but for thetime being, I just watched quietly as Bradley confessed everything that was onhis mind.
“None of us knew how to use it, but we werehaving fun until it was my turn to paddle Austin.” His breath hitched and Ireached out to stroke his head.
