The slave trader, cloaked, with a hood covering his head, led the way in the predawn darkness up the dock and into the streets of the Greek island of Mykonos at the eastern edge of the Mykonos harbor port. Behind him was a burly yacht crewman with a blanketed bundle bent over a shoulder. Another crewman followed, a machine pistol in hand, his eyes looking everywhere at once for possible trouble. Two others followed, burdened under the weight of a large, collapsed cage.
They reached the edge of the village streets without attracting attention or alarm. Two blocks up from the waterfront, on a narrow, cobblestoned street, a door at the top of the stairs into a stone row house was open, with a large-framed, burly, back-lighted man standing in the doorway, scanning the street.
The Greek artist Damien Drako had been on the lookout for them. He stood aside as the procession entered his house. He waved the hooded slave trader and the man with the bundle over his shoulder to a living room and the two men carrying the cage up more stairs and to a room behind his painting studio. The man with the machine pistol remained standing in the foyer just inside the door.
"Let me see him," Drako said in an excited voice, and the man carrying the blanket-covered body, set the young, naked man down on his feet the floor and whipped away the blanket.
Drako sucked in air. "He's perfect. Absolutely perfect."
Trent stood diffidently before him, his wrists and ankles shacked in golden chains. His tussled, now-black hair was shyly on display as he had his head turned to the floor.
Drako walked around Trent, running his hands over the smooth, completely shavedāother than the head hairābody. Moving in front of Trent, Drako cupped the young man's balls with one hand, breathing heavily again as he felt Trent's cock hardening at the touch. He lifted Trent's face with the other hand and starred into the young man's pale, blue eyes.
"Are you going to fuck me? I need someone to fuck me," Trent murmured dreamily.
"He's beautiful. Simply magnificent," Drako said.
"And he's all yours until you're done with him. We'll return for the body. Within a week is the agreement. The transaction has cleared the bank."
"He seems so docile."
"You will be able to handle himself yourself as long as you give him these drugs every four hours. You have a week's supply. You won't need more. He's trained to the cage, is unable to speak above a mumble, and he promises to be a satyrist. It's been everything we could do in recent months to keep him from having sex with every man who comes close to him. There's every reason to believe that, once initiated, he'll beg for it constantly. And he will be completely submissive. He is a virgināas you can see a frustrated virgināas ordered, trained to this one-time service since he was a child. He has been brought to the brink so often, and reacted to it so well, that he is ready and will be willing. We have brought him to the point that he wants it so bad the first time that he'll give you no trouble whatsoever. The deal, you will recall, is for him to be erased by end of the week."
"I'm aware of this. I've done this before."
Which, of course, was the crux of the operation. Drako was active in the slave trade in the Mediterranean and was becoming dangerously so, his last purchase having been the son of a very powerful man in the United States, who had to pay dearly to get his sonāquite damagedāback from a Yemeni sheik and was pressuring to have Drako's activities curtailed. The father had the right connections in the U.S. government to command attention and response.
"He will be a perfect model," Drako said. The irony was that yet another very powerful man in the United States was paying top dollar for a collection of photos, paintings, and DVDs of a young Greek man being taken for the first time by an older Greek manāDrako himself. The operation was a double sting. Drako was to be caught in the act, from purchase of a slave through much of the image production, and the buyer in the States would then be arrested some way into the rolling delivery of images. This second sting was of even more importance to the intelligence agency than the first one was. The images buyer in the States was much more of a nuisance to the Agency in his support of factors trying to curtail intelligence activities than Drako's activities were.
"It's not our concern what you are using him for," the hooded man answered, "just that he never becomes a problem for us."
"Agreed. But he's so beautiful that it seems a waste." Drako sighed deeply and then changed the subject. "Provenance?"
"Canadian, we think." Maurice, as the hooded man answered. "Taken as a child in a pirate attack on his family yacht."
"Name?"
"Just call him Slave. That's all we've ever called him and it's what he identifies as. You, as his master, can demand anything of him and he will comply. He has no other purpose in life than to do the bidding of a master. And he's ripe for the fuck."
"Pirated by your organization, I take it?" Drako asked.
Maurice didn't answer that. "The only thing you need to know," he said instead, "is that he has been conditioned to be completely submissive, we've taken him to the point of knowing he will want to be fucked by a man, and as long as you continue with the drug regimen, he will be completely in your control. You won't have to worry about him mouthing back to you. He can do little more than mumble."
"The price is very high," Drako said, as the two who had struggled with the collapsed cage came down the stairs and signaled that the set-up work was done.
"As are the costs of the services," Maurice answered.
As if to test the claim of docility, Drako moved his lips to Slave's lips, which opened readily to his kiss. Drako felt a jolt of response in the young man's dick he still had in his hand and the wetness of precum on the piss slit. "Please fuck me, daddy," Slave murmured.
