Chapter 73
“Later tonight, there will be a more substantial snack in the kitchen when we get home.”
They sat down at one end of the long dining table to a light dinner of a pasta salad with steamed vegetables in a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Following the salad, Maria served a melon melody with raspberry sherbet.
“If I call for the Cobra, Maria makes a light dinner, because she knows I’ll be at the club. I don’t believe I could ever be ashamed of you, baby. I called Cisco earlier, he and Harris both agreed if I were careful, we could begin as soon as we arrive at home. You will prepare your body and dress in the clothing I lay out for you. If you have any questions, ask them now, after I go over the rules. You may not speak to anyone other than Jim Boy or Reed and then only with my permission. You will be in complete submission from the time we leave the house this evening. You may not speak to me. If I wish you to do me a service, I will tell you or signal to you what I need. Take your clues from Jim. He is a good teacher.
“If there is an emergency, or you absolutely need to leave my side at any time during the evening, you are to place two fingers on my sleeve and wait for my attention. If I don’t grant you my attention, you will continue kneeling with your forehead almost touching the floor and your arms crossed and lay upon your chest. Your ass will barely touch your heels. This position is not comfortable. There must be at least an eighth of an inch space between your head and the carpeting at all times, and your ass may never actually rest on your heels, only hover above them.
The distance between your heels and your ass should be no more than six inches.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“When you walk, you are to be one and a half steps behind me at a forty-five degree angle from my right shoulder. You must follow me without falling out of step.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“You say, yes, baby, but can you do these things? They require extensive muscle control and training. You have been unable to train for over a year.”
“There are some things you never forget, Sir, like riding a bike.”
Bear smiled, but covered it with a cough. There is the sassy, mischievous boy I crave like a drug. She didn’t ruin him with her careless and brutal remarks thisafternoon. If she weren’t his mother, I’d string her up for what she did to him.
“All right, Brian, you win. We will go to Indiscreet tonight.
However, you must be aware that if you do not pass this test, I will forever ban you from my sight. As I agreed, your mother will be cared for in perpetuity. I will pay your current bill and have a small sum of money sent to you at the Trenton Marriott. It will enable you to make a decent start in another state. Although it was not part of the original agreement, I will make a few calls to those men I know who head the firms where you refused employment. I will explain your circumstances have changed and you are at liberty to accept their offer.
“I will also give you my highest endorsement, but nothing more, boy. If you insist on doing this tonight, this may be my last opportunity to…” Bear grabbed Brian and kissed him with all of his pent up passion, frustration, and rage against the fates who brought him to this crossroad too damn soon. Brian kissed him back with all the love and passion in his soul.
“Open the door, boy. Go upstairs and prepare yourself for me.” Brian looked at his lover one more time, then bowed his head in silent salute and left for the library.
Bear picked up the cell. “Jim Boy, I need you to arrange something for me tonight, with Reed’s permission, of course.”
Bear proceeded to outline in detail what he wanted done.

Brian came down the stair in a skirt like toga, his chest covered in a short vest. The hem of the toga hit just above the middle of his thighs. Under the toga, he wore a wrapped loincloth. This, Bear said in the note he left Brian, was so no one but he would have easy access and it would give Brian time to get away if it was necessary. The toga was made of fine white muslin trimmed with golden thread. The Scottish thistle entwined with the Irish shamrock all along the neck of the open vest and the hem of the pleated skirt. He wore golden sandals with ties circling up to his knees. Underneath the tuxedo he donned, Bear felt himself getting rock hard despite the cock ring he wore.
