Chapter
21
None
of the subsequent third period sessions with Miss Nichols were quite
so dramatic as the first. In fact my life entered a pattern that
remained the same (except for important exceptions) until the end
of the school year.
At
the end of every school day, Elizabeth and I went to Miss Nichols'
office for detention. While Miss Nichols at times was charming during
third period, she was always stern and verbally chastised me during
detention. Elizabeth always used the cane on me, the number was
always forty strokes, though Elizabeth had to report her twenty-four
hour number to Miss Nichols. That report always resulted in the
principal's tongue-lashing of me.
Being
in the same room with Miss Nichols was unnerving for me no matter
how nice she was or verbally unmerciful (I never got used to either).
While she held my shoulder during my whipping I shuffled unsteadily
between pure bliss and pure terror.
Miss
Nichols' eyes could cause me to stop in my tracks, mumble or lose
all control and break into tears. I always felt like she could see
inside me, judge the good and the bad, and that I could hide nothing
from her, not even my thoughts and firmly stifled desire.
At
night when I should have been sleeping I remembered Miss Nichols'
glancing touch and then I imagined what she would look like wearing
less clothing. Never naked. I couldn't imagine Miss Nichols undressed.
She wore black, satin or leather depending on the mood, tight dress
or riding pants with a black silk blouse. I was obsessed. Part love,
part a desire to better understand my foe.
My
time at Sally's wasn't entirely wasted. I saw and heard things.
The girls told me stories or led me on adventures (never outside
the cabin, mind you).
At
home, at nights, I continued to be bound. Elizabeth more often than
not shared Dot's bed rather than mine. She said she was too tired
or was saving me for some unexplained big event.
That
Elizabeth was tired I don't doubt. She worked evenings at Sally's
and whole weekends once I learned how to drive her car. Besides
her work for me, she had to manage my work for her which was less
spontaneous and often required arranging setting and cast.
Elizabeth
and I still loved each other, talked of marriage, once we'd made
enough money. The memo book always showed an astounding debit in
spite of Elizabeth's numbers each day. I had no say in what happened
to the money I made her.
One
bit of unfinished business to be taken care of that week was Elizabeth's
pregnancy. The Sunday I was kidnapped, Sally promised to take care
of everything (her exact words) for fifty dollars. The date for
the procedure was Sunday the following week.
I
must have shrieked when Elizabeth told me fifty dollars because
she instantly went to work to mollify me.
I
said it again. "Fifty dollars?"
"Don't
you like my new dress?" This was on Friday before detention.
Elizabeth had gone shopping again, had a second new dress and bought
a sweater for me.
I
was wearing the sweater, two sizes too small so the wrist openings
were halfway up my arms and the tail three inches above my belt.
It hurt to breathe. Elizabeth had forced me to wear the thing (I
was to wear it every day until the end of the school year) using
tactics that ranged from tears to threats. I was able to withstand
the onslaught for two minutes before caving in utterly.
"It's
a beautiful dress, Elizabeth."
"Aren't
I worth fifty dollars?"
"More
than that." She waited, watching my face, lips parted, arms
holding me tightly. There was a cute smudge on her chin. "You
mean everything to me. It was a shock. That's all."
"Sally
said I can still have babies. We'll just put it off a while until
I'm ready." She neatened my sweater and began to make plans
for the weekend.
The
weekend was more of the same for Elizabeth, much more. We barely
saw each other. Dot worked at Sally's on weekends too but I was
never sure doing what exactly. She had a lettered cabin, took men
like the girls but it wasn't a constant stream.
My
time at Sally's, once things settled down, was spent in B, divided
between treatments (Dot insisted on their continuance), study for
Miss Nichols' third period sessions and customers.
We'll
talk about customers later. The important thing to remember is that
there was very little time for study.
Jasper
taught me how to drive. There were only three lessons since I just
had to know how to start, steer and stop the thing. The car went
from school to Sally's to home. About two miles round trip.
Elizabeth
called me her chauffeur, had Dot sit in the back seat with her.
Both of them had the crudest comments for the males we passed on
our trips. I was often in a state of embarrassment.
I
had to wear a special hat while driving, hold the doors open for
them and do just about everything but click my shoes at attention.
I bought the gas with money borrowed from Dot or Elizabeth (with
interest of course).
All
of this is sounding terrible but it wasn't. Elizabeth was my beacon.
She didn't just light my way, she guided my steps. In her own fashion,
Elizabeth of all the women who used me, excepting my Saturday evenings
with Annie, gave me the most pleasure. All the time I only wished
it were more often, or without the shroud covering me during treatment.
The
sweater was silly but I let her have her little joke because it
marked me as hers. After several weeks of wearing the sweater, the
other students no longer seemed to have time for me which was all
to the better because of Elizabeth's projects for me. I'll go into
those later.
While
I loved Elizabeth more than ever in spite of her being a common
whore, she didn't feel the same way toward me. Looking back I can
see the steps she took to distance herself from me, after I became
as common as she, and would become more common still as time passed.
I
knew something was wrong. I couldn't see the problem or acknowledge
the fact that it was insoluble. I drove myself to love Elizabeth
more, demonstrate my love continually. No wonder she and Dot made
fun of me. I was a fine example of the male species.
The
only person who understands me for who and what I am is Nancy. I'm
triple blessed.
One
incident and then we can proceed to the next chapter where things
pick up pace a bit. This was on the weekend after my ordeal, the
second driving lesson finished on Saturday evening, Jasper took
me back to my cabin.
I
considered Jasper my friend though we weren't close. After the fuss
the girls made over me the previous Sunday none of the men at Sally's
were close. They were friendly and that was it.
Cabin
B had electricity and after Jasper turned on the light, he checked
the stove while I readied myself for the evening.
They'd
installed a heavy chain, held by a ring bolted to the wall with
a shackle at the other end. The shackle went around my ankle. I
could move from the bed to the bedpan and in a semicircle that covered
part of the floor (but not the stove, thus Jasper's ministrations).
I
was naked of course since I would be expected to work also this
evening. The appointments for my labors were on a chair by the bed a blindfold I had to put on before she or they, sometimes it was
several, came in, the ropes to bind me, and the casket to hold the
special tokens Sally had made just for me.
Jasper
finished and said to me before leaving, "Your father is one
of my best friends. I don't think it is fair that you've supplanted
him in Sally's eye. I don't think it is fair that you and your sister
have turned this place upside down."
I
hadn't expected this. Jasper had always been cordial.
"Put
your damned leg out."
I
hung my leg off the bed. Jasper locked the shackle around the ankle,
taking care not touch me.
"I
wouldn't have expected this of a son of Ben's"
The
look of utter disgust on his face was new. I've seen it since on
others; it's always an awkward moment.
He
continued. "I can unlock your chain, you can get dressed, I'll
take you north, south, east or west. I'll even give you money, enough
to take you anywhere."
"I
can't," I said. Partly because of Elizabeth, partly because
of Annie's visit in an hour or so. Partly because of the way Miss
Nichols' nostrils flared when I walked into her office.
Jasper
stood at the door. "You're not a man. You know that. You let
them beat you, fuck you, humiliate you; a man wouldn't let anyone
do that to them."
It
was interesting to watch Jasper. As he talked he rubbed his right
hand on his leg. He was earnest but I wasn't sure how different
I was from him. He loved Sally, would do anything for her, got to
fuck Sally's girls, but barely merited attention from her. He'd
do anything for an hour with her, just talking over a meal or in
her office. I think he was jealous because she spent the night with
me.
"Thank
you," I said.
There
was a knock and Jasper answered. Nel gave him a note.
I
stared in shock. I thought Nel was long gone.
Jasper
read the note, put it in his pocket, and said to me, "If I
cared, I'd feel sorry for you." He left.
Nel
stood in the doorway. "My ass still hurts, motherfucker, fatherfucker,
sisterfucker, brotherfucker, guppy fucker, quick catch the dog,
it gets fucked too." She slammed the door and I heard the lock
click outside.
For
the next hour I worried that Annie would bring Nel with her. She
didn't.
Chapter
22
In
the spring of 1934, when it was warmer outside, Dot or Elizabeth
or both decided that it was time for me to begin working at lunchtime
in the ravine, Elizabeth's former spot.
Elizabeth
had slowly been cutting back in her daytime activities, except for
my treatments, and I wasn't always sure, because of the shroud,
if she was the one there. She made up for what income she missed
in the day at night at Sally's. Often we didn't get home until early
in the morning.
She
still thanked me for what I'd given her, allowing her to be free
with favors. Sally's was the best thing that she had ever experienced
in her whole short life.
I
still wonder what happened to Elizabeth, what she's doing now in
her middle age. I hope she's happy with the choices she made the
choice that set her on the path to be with me, the choice to do
what Dot required in the months we were together, and the choice
in the end to leave me and go her own way.
After
my morning treatment in the carriage barn Elizabeth was the one
to tell me about the change to be instituted. I was exhausted, some
treatments were more tiring than others, and sat while Dot rolled
up the blanket and shroud.
There
were two shrouds now. The old shroud remained in the barn. Dot had
made a new shroud of red muslin and that stayed in Cabin B at Sally's.
She must have had extra time because she'd embroidered in black
letters a single word, "Haven," in the center, just above
the hole. Elizabeth sat next to me, wiped her face with her skirt
hem. She'd had a workout, too. "You amaze me, Charlie,"
she said.
"Don't
give him a swelled head," Dot said over in the corner.
"I
don't know how you hold out."
Dot
said from the doorway, "A couple of kicks at the right moment
helped, didn't they, brother? You two lock up. I'm going to school."
Elizabeth
wiped her crotch with her new skirt. She'd had the skirt for only
a week and the whole hem was crusty and stiff. "Charlie?"
she said.
I
lifted my head, turned to look her in the face. Elizabeth's hair
was waved with spit curls now, she wore a blouse and sweater, the
sweater the same color of mine but it fit better, carried a purse,
everything a young society girl would have except for the crusty
hem, bare ass which she wasn't afraid to show, and breasts that
had gotten much larger and moved freely without a brassiere. I was
a very lucky sixteen-year-old, soon to be seventeen my birthday
was in the end of April.
"I'm
not going to be working in the ravine anymore at lunch, don't need
to. We'll do your treatments then."
There
wasn't anything to object to.
"Some
of the girls at school have heard about you and expressed an interest.
It's only a quarter for five minutes, but that's okay, isn't it?"
Lunch
was half an hour. I wondered which girls.
She
kissed me. "Poor dear. Too tired to talk." She got up
and went to an old workbench covered with clutter. She brought back
a parcel covered with shop paper and tied with string. She handed
it to me. "You take care of this. Dot made another for you
for just at school."
My
eyes would be covered, as usual, so I wouldn't see them. "Okay,"
I said. I'd learned it was best not to question or argue. I was
sore enough after the daily canings.
"Let's
be late for school," Elizabeth said. She stood and removed
her skirt.
"I
don't think we'd better." I watched her.
"Oh
come on. No one will notice." She had her sweater off.
"They
always notice in my case." She was naked in less time than
it takes me to untie my shoes. I could see several bite marks on
her left breast, from last night at Sally's I supposed. She looked
spectacular.
"You
always say that." She reached out her hands. She had sex appeal
oozing from every pore.
"I'm
always right."
You'd
think that as a sixteen-year-old who was getting it all the time,
who no longer even bothered to count how many times total, much
less with who (I often didn't know anyway). You'd think it would
have been easy to say no, get up, and get to school on time.
I
had detention anyway. I think my infractions pleased Miss Nichols
to no end since they reaffirmed her abysmally low opinion of me.
But an opportunity of skin on skin sex with Elizabeth, being able
to see her and not worry about how fast I came, was impossible to
miss. I got my clothes off quickly.
"Lie
down," she said.
I
was hard before my back hit the floor. I heard a rustle of paper,
soon saw Elizabeth stand over me with a black shroud.
"We
can break it in," Elizabeth said. Then she flung it over me
and in a second she settled on my cock, slowly sliding down, giving
a very happy moan. I couldn't see a blessed thing.
Lunchtime
was no better. Dressed, lying on the damp ground, my cock sticking
free of my pants straight in the air. The black shroud went over
me and my world was without sight, solitary and quiet. Elizabeth
had gone off to bring the girls down. I wasn't to see them to protect
their reputations. They couldn't see me to protect mine, or so Elizabeth
said.
Mine
was ruined anyway. I think if Elizabeth hadn't been my constant
companion half the males in town would have gladly slaughtered me
for imagined or real wrongs I'd done them. I saw the looks they
gave me, heard the way they talked behind my back so I could understand
just a few select words. Women weren't like that about Elizabeth.
It was almost as if they appreciated a relief from their husbands'
attentions. It wasn't the same in school for the girls but my presence
tended to prevent catfights in the hall.
I
heard their voices as they came down the hillside; the leaves from
last year were noisy, noisier than them. There were giggles. It
felt like Elizabeth let them each handle me to see that it was real.
I hoped none were virgins.
Most
women, and all the girls today, let out a faint gasp or sigh when
they settle on me. Each was different from that moment on. Some
settled on me and it felt like they did nothing. Others bucked wildly.
I
thought about third period today while they used me. I'd be punished
severely, on the spot here and later elsewhere, if I forgot myself
and was my cock for a few moments and felt what they were doing.
Miss
Nichols recently had begun chatting about her childhood. She'd had
a very strict father and when he wasn't at home, he was a very successful
businessmen, was under the care of a governess who was even stricter
and a disciple of physical discipline.
She
talked about her rare moments outdoors; most of her childhood had
been spent in a very large rambling house. She was uncomfortable
now when outside, never took walks, enjoyed the view from the windows
at school or at her home. Here I perked up for I wanted to know
everything about her home. Where it was, how big it was, if it was
decorated like her office.
The
first one's time was up, the next got on. When the first one had
started there had been laughter and nervous giggles. I knew by now
the mechanics of sex and its purpose. I knew I could accidentally
impregnate these girls, had possibly impregnated Elizabeth. She'd
had three abortions done by Sally.
I
wanted to sleep, tired from last night and all the long nights previous.
Miss
Nichols had me sniff the daffodils in a vase on her desk. From her
yard, she said. I tried to imagine it.
Dad
slept downstairs on the couch after a fight with Mom. The twins
had to shift for themselves. Dad would have been off to Sally's
except she'd given word, somehow, and he knew he wasn't welcome.
He resisted the urge to bust me wide open, enjoyed the beer money
he got every evening, not enough to do damage, enough to keep him
happy. And I expect he'd had Elizabeth. I never asked her, she never
said, I never saw them act together in a manner that would suggest
such a familiarity. My feelings toward Elizabeth had cooled momentarily
but it wasn't hard to come to see sense in the situation.
The
daffodils had no smell that I could tell except for green freshness.
Miss Nichols' odor filled the room in indescribable ways. I think
most noticeable was the scent of her face powder, though when she
wore leather I could smell that.
The
second one sounded familiar and I wondered if it was the girl who
sat next to me at math.
The
third and the fourth were a blur of motion. I had to work hard to
remember where and who I was.
Who
was I? I as the prick women fucked without having to shake the boy's
hand or look him in the eye. I was the shadow of a shape under the
shroud attached to a cock.
Miss
Nichols never touched me when we talked. She still had her moments
of outright disdain, sometimes her anger would flare and I could
see her knuckles turn white and her lips tighten.
My
back felt damp and I wanted to get up when the fourth left me. I
think they helped her off. She was weeping and I could hear voices
as they talked softly a few feet away.
The
fifth settled on me and I knew immediately who it was, but it couldn't
be. She wasn't a student. "Annie?" I said aloud.
The
cunt stroked my cock, gripped it and shook it as the body above
me shook.
"Annie?"
I said louder.
"Not
yet," Elizabeth said above me. I felt a toe prod me.
Everyone
was silent and I could hear the girl's fast breathing as she fucked
my cock. The cloth of her garment swished against the shroud; there
were liquid sounds.
I
heard the class bell ring and people leave as I was fucked. "Elizabeth?"
I said. There was no answer.
I
don't know how long I was fucked. With Elizabeth and Annie and to
a certain extent Sally, I was there when I was fucked. I was taken
places I never expected to visit; the sensations were profound,
enthralling. There was little enticement to come. I stood alone
on a vast beautiful plain, buffeted by a thousand winds. I was rooted
to the spot, mouth open, almost unable to breathe because of joy
and wonder.
I
have no idea how long she went on before she said, "Do it."
It was Annie's voice. Afterwards I learned she'd assumed my lunchtime
sessions, would keep the money for herself.
Miss
Nichols could barely contain her fury during detention.
