Chapter Sixteen

Carlos

I take a 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 forward. “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 while. 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 others 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.
