*****
It had been four days since Dan and Ben had shown up at my apartment, followed by my friend Tim. I had seen Tim every day at school and spoken to him. He was getting better in dealing with what happened to him. He seemed less jumpy and far less depressed. I had been worried about him, for obvious reasons. But after all my assurances of his safety and Dan's lack of interest had both turned out to be true, he began to become himself again. I assured him that I was always available if he needed to talk to someone, since we had both agreed not to tell anyone else. But he seemed to want to follow my original advice, to simply go on about his life and try not to think about it.
I knew that I was not in the same boat as Tim. I was pretty sure that Dan wouldn't be paying me anymore visits, after Ben had "claimed" me and told Dan that he was to stay away. I was slightly mollified about Dan not wanting to cross Ben, when Dan had backed down from Ben at my apartment. But I also knew that Ben was going to come back sooner or later. I was at least glad that Ben was either busier than Dan, or that he did not feel the need to rape me quite as much as Dan. Either way, Ben would be back.
I had worried about my own actions last time. But I had justified to myself that I had just been so worked up and stressed out, that when my cock was being stimulated so much that it was my need to cum and not my enjoyment of the situation that caused my behavior. I still felt humiliated and shocked when I thought about what I had said, as Ben had made me ride him. But I kept telling myself that it was an out-of-the-ordinary situation that had caused my strange behavior. I almost believed myself.
I had numerous pro and con arguments with myself, regarding my new situation. I still wasn't totally sure what being claimed actually meant, but I wasn't about to ask either. I kept going back to the biggest pro, that being I would only have to service Ben. I was at least honest enough with myself to admit that I preferred Ben over Dan. That wasn't a big deal. Ben had a lot more going for him than Dan.
Ben never taunted me. He never threatened me. He never rubbed my nose in my situation. It never seemed that Ben went out of his way to cause me pain or humiliation. I could definitely not say any of that about Dan. I was also glad that Ben had a lot less body hair and always seemed to be very clean. I hadn't really examined Ben closely. Why would I want to examine Ben closely? All my observations were just regarding when I had been forced to suck his cock and balls and when he had told me to rim him. I had thought back to all of my other contact with Ben, and I could not remember any body hair. Again though, it's not like I had been looking.
I again warred with myself mentally. So what if I preferred Ben over Dan, it's not like I had a choice in the matter. And yes, being claimed by Ben would apparently keep Dan away. So, of course I should keep Ben happy, if only to ensure my own safety. Ben also didn't have any interest in Tim, but I figured if Dan came around again he might force me to get Tim involved in this again. I had to protect my friend. So once again, I should work to keep Ben happy. I seemed to be good at keeping Ben happy already. Should I try to apply more effort?
I was already taking the initiative with certain things. But I knew what he liked and how he liked it. If I didn't take the initiative, he would only make me do it anyways. Why shouldn't I just go ahead and do it? Why should I fight back or refuse to do what Ben said if he could simply overpower me and use physical force to make me do something? It wasn't my fault that I had grown used to sucking his cock and balls, and rimming him. That was just me adapting to my situation. It's not like I enjoyed doing any of it.
And so what if I came the last time that Ben had me ride his massive cock. That was just because I hadn't cum in a long time, and my cock kept rubbing between the two of us as I moved. I didn't actually seek Ben's permission to let me cum, I just knew it was going to happen against my will and I didn't want him to get mad if I just did it. There is nothing wrong with that. I had not taken any pleasure from anything I had done to Ben or Ben had done to me. I was in a bad situation and I just had to deal with it the best that I could.
This sort of inner argument had been going on ever since that night. I kept coming back to the same truth, I was going to have to what Ben wanted. What I wanted didn't matter. Keeping Ben happy and doing what Ben wanted WAS what mattered. It was as simple as that. I needed to make sure that I didn't make anything worse. I had finally accepted that Ben could and would do with me what he wanted, and that I wouldn't complain. I would go along with it. I had no choice. That seemed to placate me enough to not over analyze my thoughts and actions regarding Ben and our time together.
I had come to think of my school days as a welcome relief. I knew that from my first class until my last, I was safe and able to relax. I was glad that my swim team coach had upped the number our practices from three to five times a week. That gave me an additional two hours each day when I could simply lose myself to the workout and not think about anything else. I usually stayed for some additional time after practice ended, even before all this started. My nights and weekends had me worried though.
I had now been home for an hour and was just relaxing after I had finished my home work and history essay. It was Friday night and I had just decided to take it easy. My nagging fear had so far kept me from wanting to go out and possibly run into Dan or someone other than Ben, from their "club." I had accepted that I looked to Ben as a sort of wall, between me and someone worse. I knew that it was ridiculous, but at least with Ben I knew where I stood. Dan still scared me.
I jumped in surprise, when I heard a knock at my door. I got up and with a sense of foreboding, opened my door. I actually felt myself relax a little when I saw that it was Ben and that he was alone. I knew that this was coming, so I was at least somewhat prepared. Ben smirked when he saw my reaction to him, as he said casually "Hey, what's a cute boy like you doing home alone on a Friday night?"
