The brown eyed man smiled at Kevin, and said "My name is Ailin", then ruffled the hair of the blue eyed man and continued "And this is Leannan, though he usually prefers to be called Lennon." Leannan grinned and said "You're choice, Kevin, I'll answer to either." Kevin grinned back, then leaned over to give Leannan a hug, followed by another hug for Ailin. "Pleased to meet you" Kevin chuckled, who was then suddenly grabbed by Kai, who yelled "Hey, what about my hug?" and then hugged the boy, followed by a tickling. Kevin started to laugh again, pulling away, and Ailin intervened, saying "Now, Kai, we promised we'd give him a rest. Let the poor boy finish recovering from the last attack, as he'll need all the energy he can muster for the next one." Ailin shot an ever so slightly menacing look at Kevin, who simply stared back wide-eyed with a worried look on his face. Ailin's expression softened, and he said "Do not fear, boy, we would never hurt you. Remember Michael's words." Kevin lightly nodded, but still looked a bit worried, as he'd thought the first tickling was already quite tormenting enough. He wasn't too keen about a second round, but he knew he didn't have much of a choice. Ailin patted Kevin's knee, saying "Anyhow, I'm sure you have a lot of questions that you're looking for the answers to. We'll do our best to answer what we can, but understand that some of those answers may have to come later." Kevin nodded, his head swimming with many questions, some of which he was sure would be in the "answers to come later" category. He decided to start with some he was sure would not be. "Do all of you live here together?" he asked. Leannan spoke up first, saying "Yes, we do. Michael is the head of the household, so to speak. Ailin and Kai answer to him, and I answer to him as well as to Ailin." Kevin gave a confused look, and said "Answer to? I don't understand." Kai smiled, realizing it might take some explaining to the poor boy, and said "Have you heard of the term BDSM, Kevin?" Kevin replied "Yes, I have heard of it"; he wanted to say more about the fact that he'd seen the various magazines on the subject in his local sex store and that they excited him in a way he didn't quite understand, but he'd never been brave enough to purchase one. Kai continued, "Well, here in the household, Michael is the dominant, or 'master', so to speak, and Ailin and myself are his submissives. Ailin is also dominant with Leannan, who is his submissive." Kevin furrowed his eyebrows, and asked "Does that make you slaves, then?" Ailin shook his head, and said "No, Kevin, we don't consider ourselves as such. Michael wishes us to explore our full potential as individuals, and I wish the same for Leannan. There is no desire at this point for any of us to be slaves." He paused, then looked intently at Kevin and said "I suspect that's not what you desire yourself, either." Kevin hesitated, then broke eye contact with Ailin and looked down, muttering "I don't know what I want. I don't understand these feelings. Nothing seems to make sense to me now." Ailin reached over and with his hand gently lifted Kevin's head, staring again into the boy's eyes, saying "I know, Kevin. It's very confusing to you at the moment, but Michael and the rest of us are here to help you understand. There's no need to be afraid." Kevin reached out and grabbed Ailin's other hand, holding onto it tightly. Ailin smiled and gave Kevin's hand a gentle squeeze of reassurance. Kevin returned the smile and asked "Will I need to remain in here for much longer?" Leannan spoke up and said "You'll be allowed out of the room soon, Kevin. Have patience." "I'll try" Kevin responded, "but I'm afraid to be left alone again." Kai reached over and hugged Kevin, saying "You're never alone, Kevin. We'll always be with you, even when we're miles away." Kevin simply nodded and held onto Kai while keeping his hand locked with Ailin's hand. Leannan reached over and ran his hand over Kevin's head, messing up his hair. "Silly boy" he said, grinning. Kevin and the others laughed, and suddenly Kevin felt a bit better about his situation. He still had questions, however. As Kai released Kevin from the hug, Kevin looked at the other men and asked "So am I going through some kind of training right now?" Ailin nodded, and replied "Yes, you could say that. We're helping you get acclimated to your new life, as Michael requires obedience from his boys." Kevin then slowly asked "Does this mean I might be punished as well?" Ailin simply smiled and turned to Leannan, who gave a look of slight discomfort and said "Yes, there could be, if you disobeyed or did something to displease Michael." Giving a sidelong glance towards Ailin, he continued "My suggestion would be to try not to get into trouble." Kevin looked worried but Leannan reassured him, saying "Don't worry, Michael would never hurt you... at least, well, how do I put this..." Kevin simply said "I guess that's where the 'SM' part of the BDSM comes in." Leannan laughed, and replied "Yes, though that part can be very pleasureable as well, and I suspect Michael will introduce you to it soon enough." These last words caused Kevin to squirm a bit, making the others grin and chuckle. Kai said "Oh yes, there's plenty in store for you", and ran his fingers over Kevin's nipples, making them erect, then giving them a hard squeeze. Kevin let out a small gasp, but realized he was quite hard at the moment. It seemed he certainly did find a certain amount of pleasure in the pain. He continued to moan softly until Kai let go of his nipples. Kevin noted the glint in Kai's eyes, and laughed, saying "Why do I get the feeling you're the troublemaker around here?" Kai feigned an innocent look, and said "Who, me? Never!" He then gave a big grin, and Kevin just shook his head and said, "Yep, you're the one." The smile on Kevin's face soon disappeared, as he now realized he wanted to ask the questions that may not get an answer. He looked up at the others, paused for a moment, then asked "How did you know I would be alone on that road where you found me?" An uneasy look came over the men, and Ailin quietly answered "Michael's been watching you for some time. You were pretty consistent about when you went on your walks, and how far you went into the woods." Kevin was taken aback; he had no idea he was being followed on his walks. Startled, he said "I had no idea anyone was watching me." Turning away from the men for a moment with a sad look in his eyes, he whispered "I didn't think anyone would care." Holding back the tears, he turned back to the men and asked the one question he knew they would probably not answer, at least not now. Kevin asked "Why me?" There was a long silence as the men exchanged glances. Kevin sat there, quietly waiting for some response. He could tell by the look on the other's faces that they were holding back. Ailin finally sighed, and said "I think... I think Michael needs to answer you on that. I'm afraid we can't say any more. I'm sorry." Kevin gave a small smile, and replied "That's okay, I understand." His smile widened a bit, and he then said "I suspect I might be waiting a while for the answer, however." Ailin grinned and nodded, saying "Probably. But we'll leave that up to Michael." With that the room went silent again, as Kevin pondered over all that had been said so far. He had a better idea of the situation he was in, but he was still in the dark as to why they had chosen him, and he searched his mind for some possible reason. He didn't recognize any of the men from his past, at least he didn't believe so. He couldn't overcome a sense of familiarity, though. After a few minutes he gave up, and sighed. "I'm sure it will come to me in time" he thought to himself. Kai noted the look of frustration on Kevin's face, and decided it was time to liven things up a bit. Without any warning, he suddenly leapt onto Kevin, screaming "Tickle attack!" and furiously started to tickle Kevin. Ailin and Leannan quickly joined in, and Kevin was once again at their mercy. The men were far more intent on working on Kevin's sensitive areas this time around, and Kevin was soon gasping for air with tears streaming down his face as he tried to beg them to stop. The men began to take turns holding Kevin down while the other two worked on him, making it impossible for Kevin to get away while their fingers danced all over his body. They tickled him much longer this time, and Kevin thought he was going to go insane. His throat was raw from the laughter, and he was unable to say anything anymore. Exhausted and unable to fight back, he prayed it would end soon; as it was, there seemed to be no end in sight. Through his torment Kevin noticed that he was on the edge of coming. His cock was throbbing and felt like it was going to explode. Kevin became desperate... he had to come! He cursed the chastity jock, but even with it off he probably wouldn't be able to get at his cock anyways, as the men weren't slowing down with the tickling. Just as Kevin thought he would pass out, Michael entered the room and in a commanding voice shouted "Stop!" Kai, Ailin and Leannan immediately pulled away from Kevin, who managed to utter a hoarse "Thank God!" as he struggled to catch his breath. He body was aching all over and his cock was fighting against its prison, trying to break free. Kevin was feeling sensory overload; his body continued to shake even though the tickling had stopped. Michael swiftly came over to the bed and pulled the poor boy into his arms, holding him and softly speaking to him to calm him down. Kai and the others climbed off the bed, standing away from it to give Michael and Kevin some space. After a few minutes Kevin had stopped shaking and was breathing normally again, his eyes closed as he rested in Michael's arms. Michael continued to soothe the boy, but he couldn't help breaking a smile as he looked at the others, who smiled back. The strain on the jock had not gone unnoticed. Michael reached down, stroking Kevin's inner thighs slowly, then moving closer to his covered crotch area. Kevin's breathing increased a bit, and his eyes shot open, now looking directly into Michael's eyes. The gaze never wavered as Michael put his hand directly onto the leather pouch of the jock, pushing down gently and slowly moving the cod piece around. Kevin whimpered, and Michael quietly asked "What is it, boy?" Kevin whispered "Please, Sir... please let me come." Keeping his eyes locked on Kevin, Michael said "I'm not sure I should, boy. How badly do you want it?" "Very badly, Sir" Kevin said, his eyes now pleading with Michael. There was a short pause, then Michael asked "What would you do for that chance to come, boy?" Kevin replied "Anything, Sir. I'll do anything for you." Michael raised an eyebrow, asking "Are you sure, boy? Think carefully on this." Kevin paused a moment, swallowing hard, then said "Yes, Sir. I am sure." Michael's stare became more intense as he asked "Very well, then. What I ask is this: do you give yourself completely to me, boy, body and soul? Will you allow yourself to belong to me?" Michael's steel grey eyes bore into Kevin, who remained silent. Michael could see the struggle in the boy's face as Kevin fought to make a decision. A few tense moments passed as the room remained quiet. Finally Kevin teared up, closed his eyes, and quietly said "Yes, Sir" as he began to tremble slightly. His rational mind was telling him that he was crazy to agree to such a thing, but he was feeling quite the opposite, and for the first time in a very long time, Kevin listened to his feelings, though he still didn't understand them. He let the tears roll down his cheeks as he said "I give myself to you, Sir, unconditionally." Kevin almost couldn't believe what he'd just said, but he knew he meant it. Michael quietly breathed a sigh of relief; he had hoped Kevin would say yes. He pulled Kevin into a tighter embrace, kissing him on the forehead, and softly said "Good boy." Michael produced a key and unlocked the leather pouch from the jock, pulling it open. Kevin's cock sprang up, and Michael gently removed the catheter. The boy's member was dripping with pre-come. Kai quietly stepped over, handing Michael a bottle of lube. Michael took the bottle and gave Kevin's cock a generous amount, then placed the bottle down and began to slowly massage the boy's throbbing member. As he stroked away, he lifted Kevin's body up slightly and gave the boy a long, deep kiss. Kevin moaned softly, and wrapped his arms around Michael, pulling himself even closer and kissed Michael passionately. Michael started to stroke Kevin faster, and Kevin could feel himself nearing orgasm. As Kevin was on the verge of shooting, Michael slowed down slightly, just enough to keep Kevin on the edge for a while longer. Kevin tightened his embrace and kissed Michael deeper, desperate for relief. Time seemed to stand still as he waited for Michael to bring him over the edge. Michael finally gave Kevin his wish, and once again increased the speed of his stroking as well as focusing a bit more on the tip of Kevin's cock. Kevin tensed and shot a long arc of come that sailed several feet in the air, landing on the floor at the base of the bed. Michael continued to stroke the boy's cock while continuing to kiss him. Kevin groaned loudly at the overwhelming sensation of still being stroked after coming, the tip of his cock now very sensitive. Michael drained the boy of every last drop of come, then finally stopped and lay Kevin gently down on the bed. Kevin was gasping for air, as the orgasm had been one of the most mindshattering ones he'd ever had. As he caught his breath, he looked up at Michael and smiled. Michael returned the smile and asked "Feel better, boy?" Kevin replied "Yes, Sir", which then was unexpectedly followed by "I love you, Sir." The other men seemed a bit surprised by this, but Michael simply continued to smile as he stroked the boy's hair, saying "I love you too, boy." (To be continued...)
