The New boy At Work
He kept pushing me... Flirting with me... Giving me those sly winks and little comments...
And there's only so much a man can take, after all.
Of course that went on all of the time. Working where we did... I won't say where... being around the people that we had to deal with day after day... some of them little more than animals... you learned to develop a kind of twisted sense of humor. The kind of humor that would make so-called "normal" people quite a bit uncomfortable. We messed with each other all of the time, giving each other armor to keep away the shivers. It was our own twisted little coping mechanism.
One of my good friends even came up with a name for the game we played. He called it "Gay Chicken". See if you could out-freak the other guy and make him back down first.
But this... went a little beyond that.
As I said, there's only so much a man can take.
He was a little taller and a little thinner than the ones that usually catch my eye. But he was definitely pretty and I was always a sucker for the pretty ones. He had short brown hair and big wide brown eyes that he didn't let me see often enough for my liking, but there you were. His voice was deeper than his age and size intimated; almost a young country singer kind of voice, but without the prerequisite accent. Not much of an accent, anyway. I couldn't see much of how he was built under those baggy work clothes but what I could see combined with the way he stood and the way he moved I could infer that he was in pretty good shape.
Good enough shape that I would really enjoy getting my hands (and other things) on him.
Mostly I just kept my real thoughts buried deep in my head. If my true wishes and desires were known... Well, I don't think anybody would really be too surprised, but it might make things a little uncomfortable for me. This was, after all, the middle of the bible belt.
But I digress.
His name was Jacob and he was young and pretty and fairly intelligent (which is another big turn on for me) and also fairly cocky, which was going to be his downfall. Every time I tossed a challenge his way he always smiled behind those Walmart sunglasses and said "All right! Bring it on!"
I got a bit of a peek into his psyche one day completely by accident. I'd made a joke and he said "Nobody puts baby in the corner!" I gave him a mock frown, pointed and said "In the corner, young man!" He said "Awww... nuts." Then walked into the corner and stood there until I told him to come back out again. While he was there an image popped into my head of him kneeling in the corner with his hands behind his head and big red hand prints all over that snug little butt. The smile I was wearing when he turned around again made his eyes go a little wide.
The turning point, I think, was when I decided to give him a chance to bow out gracefully. I stepped close enough so he was the only one who could hear and said "If you had half a clue how much of a real pervert I was, you'd be really frightened right now." The boy just smirked at me and said "I really like that in a man."
So I decided it was going to be all out war until he gave in or ran away, whichever (or whoever) came first.
The following day he challenged me again.
I walked into the lobby to get another cup of coffee. Jacob was standing there and saw me come in. With a big smile on his face, he held out his arms to give me a hug. Of course he also saw the boss sitting in his office right there only a few yards away. Did he really think that was going to deter me from grabbing an armful of that sweet little body?
Oh hell no.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tight, then leaned into his ear and growled, deep and low in my throat, letting him know exactly how much I was enjoying that. If the boss hadn't been watching, I'd have also grabbed hold of both of his ass cheeks and given them a squeeze. I think the young man realized that and let go of me pretty quickly and turned away under the pretense of getting something out of his lunchbox.
Reaching up, I pulled down the back of his collar and ran two fingers up and down the nape of his neck, right below the hairline. Leaning close again, I whispered "When you are mine, I'll put my mark on you right there, boy." He stiffened and pulled away, his skin flushed a bright red from his neck up, his ears especially a bright pink as he gasped and stammered.
My pal Lenny let out a loud guffaw at his discomfiture. "I don't know what you just said, but whatever it was it worked! I've never seen him blush like that before!"
I counted that one in the victory column.
A few minutes later when the lad had quit blushing, he came out to the smoking area to hang out before we started shift. I told him "I'll bring you a print-out of what my mark looks like. So you can see it before I have it tattooed on there." All he could say was "I hope you have it done by a professional."
So the following day I did just that. Brought in a little folded piece of paper with three things printed on it. The first was a copy of my mark, the steampunk triskele with a little latin phrase around the outer edge. It said "In totus mores, in totus res, ergo sum Suus." Beneath that I printed the word "Interpret."
On the next line it said "CB-6000. Explain why you would wear it."
The third line said simply "Tell me your safe word."
He folded it back up and stuck in in his pocket. Gave me another inscrutable look through those sunglasses and said "All right."
I was pretty sure when he looked up any single one of those things, that would be the end of it. Especially the CB-6000. Having his stuff locked away in a little plastic tube with someone else holding the key would probably give him a case of the awful never-get-overs. Especially since I was always threatening to be mean to him.
But oh... the thought of that did make me grin...
The following two days were my days off and when I returned for my Monday Jacob was still off for his weekend. Many things had happened in between and the assignment I had given him had slipped my mind. So I was taken unawares the day after that when he walked up and handed me back my piece of paper without a word. I couldn't see his eyes behind those sunglasses, but there was a faint blush high up on his cheeks as he gave it to me. I could see Lenny watching through the corner of his eye and grinning. Being on the fringes of the whole thing had given him a good idea what was going on and he was enjoying the show immensely.
Stepping back from the crowd, I unfolded it and looked. I could see Jacobs scrawl and it took me a moment to read his handwriting.
The first line read: "A search led me to a story. Someone named kitten wearing a mark just like that. Hers read 'In all ways, in all things, I am his.' Is this you?" The word "you" was underlined several times.
The second line read: "Because you would love to tease me with it. But I don't believe you could leave me locked up for very long. I'd probably cry."
The third line read: "Red/Yellow/Green." I smiled. Obviously he had done some research.
Leaning over the end of the table, I got out my pen. Under the question on the first line I wrote: "Yes, it is me. Go back and read the whole story and leave a comment."
Under the second line I wrote: "Yes I would and probably not, but I'd enjoy making you cry."
Under third line I wrote simply: "Good boy."
