My mouth was filled with warm, throbbing cock-flesh, but my gaze was trained on Sparkle-Eyes. I wasn't staring at him really; it was more surreptitious glances now and again.
He was sitting a few feet away watching me suck his men's cocks with a bemused expression on his face, a wistful look in his eyes.
That he was going to miss me when he handed me over to the Drug Lord was obvious; but there was something else going on inside him, too.
He had grown fond of me; he'd become attentive and shown great concern for my comfort and well-being-dare I say he loved me? I know how odd that sounds, to say a ruthless Taliban soldier suddenly developed feelings for his enemy is ridiculous, but nonetheless, that is how it felt to me.
Once I'd finally coaxed an orgasm from the last of his five soldiers, Sparkle-Eyes beckoned me to him.
Instead of crawling on my knees or all-fours in a subservient manner, I stood and walked to where he was sitting on a boulder; staring into his eyes the whole time.
I didn't break my gaze when I dropped to my knees either; I was determined to not look away until he did. His hands were at his side, his robe still covering his obvious erection.
I raised his garment and freed his throbbing member; my hand found his balls and gently held them; I grasped his steel-hard shaft then slid my lips over his swollen cockhead and took him into my mouth.
Our eyes remained locked together. I angled his shaft downward while I slowly bobbed my head back-and-forth; all the while gazing into his sparkling, brown eyes.
His large, calloused hand stroked my hair and face. He began mumbling below his breath. His voice was soft and tender, but, of course, I didn't understand a word he was saying.
I chose to believe he was whispering 'terms of endearment' in my ear.
His hot and hard penis pulsated and throbbed in my mouth. I quickened my pace. His hips began to thrust forward ever-so-slightly. I watched the joy and pleasure dancing in the dark brown of his eyes.
He suddenly threw his head back, and grunted "OHHH."
His eyes closed and broke our loving trance. I shifted my attention to his cock.
His body stiffened—he was completely still for a nanosecond-then he jerked and bucked and wildly thrust his exploding cock deeper into my mouth.
"OOOOHHHHHHHHH-UUUGGGHHHHHHHH-ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
The language of orgasm is universal.
I had become very good at not allowing cum to escape my mouth. His discharge seemed unusually thick and creamy; I swore I detected the slightest flavor of the snake-meat we'd had for dinner the previous evening.
I was standing, using my tongue to clean my lips and the roof of my mouth clean. Two soldiers came to wrap my face and head with the scarves; Sparkle-Eyes took them and said something to the men. The purpose of the scarves still eluded me. The men returned to the well-traveled gravel road and walked away from us.
When they'd rounded a bend and were out of sight, Sparkle-Eyes suddenly took me in his arms, held my head then kissed me full on the lips. I was so surprised I coughed.
He pulled his face away, allowed me to take a deep breath then kissed me again. I hugged him and returned his kiss.
We gazed into each other's eyes; not a single word was said.
I didn't know what heartbreak looked like, but it had to be close to what I was seeing in his eyes.
He slowly wrapped my head with the scarves, carefully placing the tiny slits over my nose and eyes.
We began walking. Well behind the soldiers, his hand found mine. We held hands and walked in-step towards the buildings, still far-off in the distance, where I would discover whatever fate the future held for me.
The early afternoon sun beat down on us. I was sweating and gasping for air inside my cocoon of heavy fabric. My mind wandered; I wanted to think of anything besides my current plight.
The Taliban belief system concerning sex disturbed me. Their religion strictly forbade homosexuality, even so far as condemning men to death, if caught in the act. Yet, amazingly, all of the soldiers I'd encountered in my captivity, showed no reluctance when it came to sexually using myself and Eddy and Georgie for their enjoyment.
Sergeant Rick had told stories of an Afghani tradition called 'Man-Love Thursday'-when men would find a willing male partner and relieve their pent-up lusts and desires.
I remembered the words of Rafsjani, an important Afghani man in the village near our camp. When asked, he gave us the Taliban rationale for their behavior.
"Gentlemen, we all know the male sex drive is nonstop-never-ending...we also know that women are 'unclean,' meant only for childbirth-to provide a man offspring to carry on his family bloodline...it is a biological necessity for men to release their semen, we are all born this way...and since women besides wives are off-limit-where better to relieve oneself than inside a snug-fitting bottom of a pretty young man-the ancient Greeks knew this...we have a saying in my country: 'Women are for procreation—men are for recreation.'"
Someone argued: "But your religion prohibits homosexuality-how in the world can you justify this behavior?"
With a look of astonishment on his face, Rafsjani replied, "A man is homosexual if he falls in love with another man...sex has nothing to do with it!"
Rafsjani was a wise, village elder, he was rumored to be an agent for the CIA. None of us laughed at his statement, or even questioned him.
Anyway, I had grown tired of the vagaries and inconsistencies of religious teachings long ago...his hypocritical answer didn't surprise me in the least.
Sparkle-Eyes suddenly dropped my hand. I looked up and saw a tall, brick tower just ahead of us. It had to be forty-feet high, and there was a man on top looking down on us.
A guard tower, I concluded. I saw three others as I scanned the property. The buildings were all brick and mortar. They appeared to be very, very old.
We followed the road as it swung wide of the guard tower. Trees and bushes still blocked my fill view of the buildings.
Ahead was a clearing, and I could see another bend in the road. Suddenly, the fragrant air from the poppy fields almost bowled me over; thick and stifling; I struggled for oxygen thru the tiny slits in the scarves.
We were now out of the trees; I saw nothing but field after field of red poppies. The road cut a swath between one field and another. When I looked left I finally saw the buildings. We were still a half-mile away, but I was able to sense the enormity of the complex; it was more like a compound.
