“I think my brother Saad arranged it. He hates me because I’m gay. I’m not allowed to be gay in my country.”
“Have they raped you?” Tag whispered.
Ahsan gave a small nod. “Lincoln’s not supposed to do anything sexual to me but he does. Norbury usually has me in his bed, or sleeping on the floor at the foot of his bed, when he’s up here. Maybe he wants two of us.” His eyes flooded with tears. “He might tell you to fuck me on all fours like a dog. Just do it. Do whatever they say. They’ll punish us both if you don’t. And if…they tell me to…”
“Whatever you need to do, do it,” Tag told him and squeezed his fingers.
The door opened and Lincoln came in. “Both awake. Good. Out of bed. Use the bathroom.”
Tag followed Ahsan. Delaney would come and there’d be a way out of this. That’s what would keep Tag going.
Tag did his best to behave, but he had another meltdown when the mask was put on. Being told he’d have to wear it longer than Ahsan as a punishment just made him more frantic. Tag honestly thought he was going to die. No amount of praise and petting made this right. Tag hated Lincoln, who kept stroking their cocks, playing with their butt plugs and their balls, edging them to the point of pain but not letting them come. Tag wondered if they’d been given Viagra because he didn’t understand why he was getting hard when it was the last thing he wanted. When Tag had tried to rub himself off against a couch, he’d been put in a cock cage, his poor semi-hard cock stuffed into a space that was too small and he promised himself he was going to get even with Lincoln.
After lunch, they were allowed in the pool and stripped of everything. The bliss of that freedom almost blew his mind. The water was warm and Tag sank below the surface. For just a few moments, he allowed himself to relax, let his worries sink to the bottom. Delaney would come and everything would turn out right. And if he didn’t come, Tag would run as fast and as long as he could. And he’d take Ahsan with him.
They had five minutes of swimming in peace before Lincoln got in with them. Naked. Tag worried about that. He was the worst swimmer of the three of them, and when Lincoln went after Ahsan, Tag couldn’t get there quick enough to stop Lincoln messing with him. But when he did get there, he clung to Lincoln’s back and yanked him away from Ahsan, almost drowning himself in the process. He wanted to drown Lincoln, actually wondered if he could do it, if he had it in him, but he wasn’t strong enough, and in the end, it was Lincoln who had to drag him to the surface and back to the shallow end so Tag could stand up.
“Dickhead.” Lincoln held him by the neck. “Guess who’s going to be sleeping in the headgear tonight?”
“I’m fucking not.” Tag gritted his teeth.
He went wild then, lashing out, kicking and Ahsan joined in. Even two of them were no match for a guy of Lincoln’s strength.
Lincoln lifted Ahsan out of the water. “Stay there unless you want to wear the headgear all night too.” He turned to Tag. “If you can get to the other end before me, I’ll reconsider. I’ll give you a start.”
Tag began to swim up the pool, but the moment Lincoln overtook him, he swam to the side and climbed out. He and Ahsan stood shivering together when Norbury walked in. Ahsan dropped onto his knees and after he touched Tag’s calf, Tag did the same. Lincoln climbed out of the pool, grabbed a towel and walked down to them.
“Having fun?” Norbury asked.
“Yes,” Ahsan said as Tag said, “No.”
Tag ignored Ahsan’s warning touch.
“Lincoln was hurting Ahsan and there was no reason. I tried to stop him. He didn’t like that.”
Lincoln stared at him as if he could kill him. But others were looking forward to doing that and what more could he do that was worse than putting that hood on Tag’s head?
“The pups are bonding.” Norbury smiled at them, then at Lincoln.
“Yes, sir. The training is going well.”
Shit.Tag had thought Norbury would be angry and he wasn’t.
“Put them back in their puppy gear. The guests will be arriving shortly.”
Once Norbury had gone, Lincoln smacked Tag around the head. “If you cause me trouble, I’ll cause trouble for you. Both of you get dry.”
Lincoln dressed, then put the headgear on Tag first before he did anything else.
“Not such a smart mouth now,” he sneered. “Learn to behave or you’ll be sorry.”
Tag fought for control of his body, made himself breathe slowly. He hadn’t died before. He wasn’t going to die now. Not yet anyway. His heart was buoyed by the thought that Delaney might be there soon.
“Perfect behaviour or you’ll be whipped,” Lincoln said.
He pushed Tag to his knees and Ahsan dropped down beside him. They crawled up the stairs and Lincoln attached leads to their collars.
“Let’s go outside.”
