Chapter 7 A Distant Light
Chapter 7: A Distant Light
There were no crowds, no media barrage that normally would suffocate his every public appearance. The many that were to attend the Trade Conference were now being attended, where many more would not, having lost their lives in the attack, which rocked the peaceful lives of Aristia's people.
Riki frowned as he searched Odi's face for a glimmer of hope. “So there’s no news?”
Odi shook his head as Selene replaced Odi’s bandage with a fresh one. He winced, as his body was battered and bruised.
“None yet, but that doesn’t mean anything. As I’ve told the authorities, Iason was attacked and knocked out before he was kidnapped. I’m sure someone will be making a statement soon.”
Odi didn’t know what else to say, he felt responsible for Iason’s attack, questioning if there could have been something more he could have done to prevent Iason’s capture.
Riki now visibly shaking looked at Odi “Who could have done this? I mean, this is a Trade Conference; he’s been to many, why now? Why here? Iason just wanted a vacation; Aristia is supposed to be peaceful!” Riki placed his face in his hands; this was too much for him.
“I don’t know Riki” Odi said softly “There could be a lot of reasons given his position, or none at all. It’s too soon to tell, I’ll be returning to the Capital’s Security Ministry once I’ve seen to all of you; accommodations are being prepared as we speak.”
Riki looked alarmed “I want to be with you Odi, I want to help!”
Odi raised his hand, “I’m sorry Riki, but you need to be kept safe, you are still at risk. No one knows what will happen next.
“What about Katze and the others? What will happen to us?” Riki looked at Odi wanting to do more than just sit around licking his wounds.
“Katze will be here for some time; Daryl and Toma will be released in a few days, Tai was slightly injured but he was taken to the Estate. You will be taken there tonight. Someone will be along soon to pick you up. Please try to be patient Riki, I’m just as upset by all this as you are. Jupiter apparently has demanded Aristia’s full cooperation, she’s dispatched a security detail of Blondie’s lead by Lord Am. It was reported that she was so upset by Iason’s kidnapping that the ground shook and was felt throughout Amoi, frightening everyone.”
Riki didn’t care much for what Jupiter felt “Fuck that wiry old toaster! If she had allowed Iason to travel by himself the way you and Ayuda requested, then this wouldn’t have happened! I hate that bitch, someone should fucking pull the plug!” Riki was so angry he nearly fainted.
Selene was observing Riki from her station and came to his side when she noticed his agitated condition. Riki, you need to rest, if you overdo it, you will be re-admitted. Now I know you don’t want that do you?” Selene gave him a comforting smile. Riki shook his head feeling helpless of course. What could he possibly do to help Odi, much less Iason? He didn’t know anything or anyone in Aristia except those who came with him.
Odi left to look in on Katze, leaving a security detail to watch over Riki. When Odi returned, Riki asked him if he could check in on Daryl and Toma. “They are being transferred up to this wing as we speak. You can see them once they’re settled in their rooms.” Odi then gave him a reassuring smile “We’ll get through this Riki, stay positive.” Riki watched as Odi left the waiting room.
After a while, Riki was able to visit with Daryl and Toma. Daryl had sustained lacerations to his back when the ship was attacked throwing both Toma and him through a glass door in their suite. Toma had suffered a concussion, along with lacerations on his arms.
“Riki!” Daryl exclaimed as he peeked through the door of their room. Toma was having his dressings changed and smiled as Riki entered their room.
“Hey guys, how are you doing?”
Daryl was lying on his stomach “My back hurts, but I’m okay I guess, Toma looks worse than me.”
Toma grumbled “That’s because you landed on me when we were being tossed about in the suite!” Daryl winced as Toma complained.
“Where were you Riki? We were down on the 3rd floor, it was a disaster- all the attendants and Pets were taken there- how did you luck out?”
Riki did his best to smile, but had a really hard time, finally sitting down in one of the chairs in the room. “Riki, how are you doing? That looks like a nasty wound on your head” Daryl whispered when Riki closed his eyes for a moment. “Do you know where Master Iason and Katze are? No one will tell us anything; what happened to the ship?”
Riki looked at the two young men then quietly told them all he knew since he was rescued and brought to the Medical Center and what Odi had found out. Daryl was crying for Katze.
“Riki! I must see him, where is he? How is he doing?”
Riki spoke “Katze is in recovery, he went through hell Daryl, I won’t lie, but they said he will be ok, it will take a while though, they won’t let me see him yet, but Odi did and he said he’s being well taken care of.”
Daryl wasn’t comforted by this at all fearing for his fallen lover. “Oh Katze- he must have been in so much pain.” Daryl quietly sobbed.
Toma was equally shaken by all this; Ayuda had only recently declared his love for him and was fighting his own emotions when he noticed Riki gently trying to console Daryl despite his own anguish.
“Riki, I’m sure Master Iason is okay, you said he and Ayuda were drugged right? That means they meant not to harm them, so maybe they are okay.”
Riki held back tears, but his voice trembled “It does not matter, they took him by force, and knowing Iason, he’s not likely to just sit back and do nothing. Odi said Ayuda was also taken, why would they? He’s just a bodyguard; they left Odi but took Ayuda? It makes no sense.”
At that time, Selene came in followed by a young man dressed in traditional Aristian robes.
“Riki, this is Jathan, he is the head Attendant of Lord Mink’s Estate. He is here for you.”
Riki looked at the young man, who was about 20 years old with light brown hair and amber colored eyes. He was tall with a slender frame. His features were easy on the eyes, giving him a feminine appearance. He was dressed in an elegant floor length wrap made of royal blue silk with a gold colored sash wrapped around the waist. It had a high collar and long sleeves embroidered with gold thread in elegant floral designs. He wore a gold earring on his right ear and a gold ring on one finger with the initials IM engraved on it. He bowed respectfully as he was introduced.
“Sir Riki, I am Jathan from Lord Mink’s Estate. I am honored to meet you, although I hoped it would have been under better circumstances.”
He spoke fluent Amoian which took them all by surprise, but Riki was in no mood for pleasantries.
“Yeah, Odi told me you’d come, but I don’t want to leave my friends, we haven’t exactly had the red carpet treatment so I’m not too thrilled to have to leave them here.”
Jathan wasn’t put off by Riki’s tone and bowing slightly he whispered. “I regret that you were injured Sir Riki, we have all been saddened by the attack upon Lord Mink, he is loved by many people on Aristia, and most admired by his household staff. We are most grieved by his abduction.” Jathan remained with his head lowered as if waiting for permission to look up.
Riki spoke to him “Hey, Jathan was it? Look up, I’m just Lord Mink’s Pet, just call me Riki.”
Jathan slowly rose his gaze “Forgive me, Sir Riki, but you are also admired by many, so, no, I would not dare to take such liberties.”
Riki gave him the slightest hint of a smile making Jathan’s face brighten up. “Sir Riki, I’m to take you to Lord Mink’s Estate as you are the only one able to leave the Medical Center. I will return for Daryl and Toma once they are released from the Medical Center; please accompany me now.”
Riki was about to protest, but Daryl encouraged him to leave. “Riki, we’ll be okay, and we will see you soon, why don’t you go ahead.”
“Yeah, you probably haven’t eaten or slept have you?” Toma spoke putting on a brave front for his sake; though privately, Toma was worried sick for Ayuda.
Riki agreed turning to Daryl and Toma, “Okay, but I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Daryl smiled, “Sure Riki, it’s not like we’re going anywhere.” Daryl said sarcastically. Toma had lost the battle to remain awake and was now asleep thanks to the pain medication he’d received earlier. Riki gave Daryl a slight nod and left with Jathan.
He was escorted by a private detail of Aristian guards. According to Odi, there remained only a few guards from his security detail, as most had been injured or killed by the attack; some were unaccounted for and presumed dead. They were placed in a shuttle which flew over the city, the sun had now set over the large island, and the lights below twinkled like the stars above.
Riki remained quiet most of the way, lost in thoughts over his friends; privately wishing this was all just a dream and that he would soon wake up to find Iason in front of him. Jathan was feeling equally awkward, did his best to make Riki feel at ease.
“Sir Riki, I’m sure your friends will be well taken care of, our medical facilities are the best on Aristia, and your companions are in very capable hands.”
Riki’s thoughts came to a screeching stop “Bloody Hell! Who’s in capable hands? Is Iason in capable hands!? This has been the worst fucking day of my life! Iason is…well he’s gone! And my friends and I were almost killed!” Riki’s voice betrayed both his anguish, and his inner rage.
“I-I’m sorry Sir Riki, I meant only to comfort you, I know my Lord cares for you deeply, as we all do…”
Riki looked at Jathan, his hands were on his lap and he kept wringing the hem of his sash realizing the young man was trying once again to comfort him.
“I’m sorry, it’s been a really bad day and I don’t mean to take it out on you.” Riki tried his best to give him a smile. “But- what do you mean, you all do? I’ve never met any of you before today.”
“Yes- that is true; you’ve never met any of us here on Aristia. But I assure you, Lord Mink’s household has followed his life ever since he first came to Aristia many years ago. When Lord Mink was punished by Jupiter, we learned about you, Sir Riki.”
Riki was dumbfounded “I’m just a mongrel he took as a Pet, I’m no one special.”
Jathan shook his head “No, Sir Riki, you are special, to our Master, and to Aristia.”
As they approached the Estate, Riki was stunned at the size of it. It was located on a private island and although it was already dark, Riki could see the huge pillars that graced the front entrance. The whole Estate was tastefully lit giving it a regal appearance. He could see some of the landscape filled with many plants and trees. Riki guessed it was probably breathtaking in the daytime.
The front entrance was striking with pillars of white granite which had vines covering them with fragrant flowers of many colors. Riki could hear the quiet trickling of the many fountains that lined the garden-like foyer. Riki stepped in and was greeted by the staff which was assembled in traditional Aristian robes similar to Jathan’s, except not as heavily embroidered. Most had light brown hair similar to Jathan and they all wore one gold earring on their right ear, but only Jathan had a gold ring with Iason’s initials on them. It seemed that most were adults and there were several there who were Riki’s age if not younger. They all smiled and bowed as Riki entered, Jathan clapped his hands and they raised their faces.
“Sir Riki, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Lord Mink’s Estate, we hope we can serve you well, in the absence of our Master.”
Riki was stunned, he never thought a mongrel from the slums of Midas would ever be welcomed like royalty to an Estate as opulent as this. Jathan dismissed the staff to go about their duties.
“Sir Riki, it is late and you must be tired, can we get you something to eat? Nurse Selene mentioned you had refused to eat earlier in the day.”
Riki still awed by all the attention, looked at Jathan, he had not eaten since the rescue, and although he was exhausted, he knew he should eat something.
“Yeah, ok. I’m a bit hungry now.”
Jathan smiled “Of course you are, we shall see to it immediately.” Jathan led him to the dining hall where a place had already been set for him. The dinnerware was beautiful Aristian Amber Crystal- Iason’s favorite. A familiar aroma permeated throughout the hall as servers came in with the meal.
Suddenly Tai came rushing out of the kitchen upon hearing that Riki had arrived; he had a bandage on his forehead and on both arms.
“Riki? Oh Riki you are here! Armah be praised! I’ve been worried sick…where is everyone? Are they alright?”
Riki jumped from his chair again feeling faint as he embraced Tai. “Tai! Holy shit you’re alive! Man am I glad to see you!”
Riki was weak, exhaustion showed on his face, but most of all sadness. Tai eased him down onto his chair again.
“Riki, please sit down, you’re about ready to pass out. Here, sip some water and eat a little, you must be famished.” Tai nodded towards Jathan who prompted the servers back to their tasks as they stood around staring at Riki and Tai. Tai motioned to Jathan “Please allow Sir Riki some privacy, have his bath prepared and have a med-kit for his wounds available. He’ll be sleeping in the Master’s bedroom.”
Jathan bowed “As you wish Sir.”
Riki couldn’t help but notice how Tai was addressed “Hey Tai, what’s going on? I thought you were just the chef?” Tai blushed a bit “Well, there will be more time later for all that- right now, we need to get you settled for the night, so eat what you can, and then we’ll get you bathed so you can rest ok?”
Riki’s head was aching; he closed his eyes as he raised a hand to touch the bandage. “Do you have anything for this headache? My head is fucking killing me.”
“Yes, of course.” Tai again nodded to Jathan who left to retrieve some pain medication. “Eat Riki, please.” Riki began to eat a bit when Jathan returned; he had a small blue pill.
“Here Sir Riki, this should help.” Jathan handed him the pill, and a glass of water.
Riki took the pill “What is this?”
“It is an analgesic comprised of medicinal herbs native to Aristia, similar to an Opiate-3.”
Riki frown “That’s it? An O-3? My head feels like it’s about to explode!”
Jathan stared back at him “That is all I dare give you Sir Riki, you sustained a serious head injury, and I would be careless to sedate you completely considering the extent of your injuries.”
Tai smiled at Riki “Go ahead Riki, give it a try, you’ll swear it’s an O-6 believe me, you’ll feel better soon.”
Riki shrugged but went ahead and swallowed the blue pill. He ate very little but enough to satisfy Tai. Tai knew Riki’s lack of appetite was due to exhaustion and concern over Iason. Riki was led to the bath hall and was bathed with the utmost care for his injured body. He felt like a prince, as bittersweet as it was, he wished Iason was the one bathing him. He was dressed in dark silk nightshirt, and taken to the master bedroom.
As he entered the room, he immediately felt the warmth of the fireplace. Next to it was a large cushioned chair and fur rugs tastefully lay around the room. He sat in Iason’s chair and stared at the flames as they flickered and danced in the fireplace. He closed his eyes as the day’s events replayed in his head, he wondered if Iason was truly alright. Next thing he knew he was being laid in Iason’s bed and vaguely remembered hearing a voice say, “Rest Sir Riki, my Lord will return to us soon.”
*~*~*
Riki woke up in Iason’s bed, the pain in his head reminded him of the horror he survived only the day before. Jathan entered with a quiet knock at the door “Sir Riki, how do you feel?” Riki sat up in bed only to flop back down as his body reminded him of the ordeal he endured, by refusing to comply with his desire to move about.
“Bloody Hell! I feel like crap!” Riki loudly moaned his misery. He stared straight up at the ceiling listening to Jathan walk a cross the room towards the windows.
“Nurse Selene requested an update of your condition and to be sure I remind you to take your medication.”
Jathan pulled back the curtains and opened the windows letting fresh air in allowing the scent of the gardens to permeate the room. Next he pulled out a small box from his housecoat and opened it; inside there were little white pills. Jathan poured him a glass of water and held out the box to Riki.
“Nurse Selene sent these by courier, and said you may take these as needed for pain.”
Riki snatched the box from Jathan’s outstretched hand and immediately opened it taking one little pill and popping it into his mouth not bothering to drink any water. Riki’s night was filled with images of Iason injured adrift at sea, he was cold and tired. Riki thought perhaps it was just his exhaustion and worry that brought this on; his mind trying to reconcile his sadness with the absence of Iason.
Jathan noticed Riki’s bandage had bled through overnight “Sir Riki, I need to change your dressing, please stay in bed I’ll return shortly with your breakfast and a med-kit.” Riki touched his head, the pain he felt yesterday was nothing compared to the hell he was feeling today- his ears continued to ring, and there was no escaping it. In his mind, he still pictured Iason floating in a dark empty space; Riki closed his eyes feeling a chill down his spine as he thought of Iason alone or injured.
Jathan returned with a tray of food; everything looked delicious, it seems Tai was trying to cheer him up with all his favorite foods; eggs, bacon, pancakes with syrup and butter, toast, coffee and …orange juice. A sad expression replaced his smile as he looked at the orange juice and thought of Iason who always poured him a glass and insisted he drink it before coffee.
“Sir Riki is everything alright? If you don’t like the food, perhaps…”
Riki shook his head “No, its ok,” Riki whispered, “Tai remembered all my favorite foods- never mind me.” Jathan couldn’t help but feel sad for Riki, he knew the absence of Lord Mink weighed heavily on his mind.
“Sir Riki, is there anything I can do for you?”
Riki drank his juice before he touched any part of his meal. “Is there any word on Iason?”
Jathan shook his head “None Sir Riki”. But Odi mentioned he would visit you this afternoon after he finished with the Security Ministry.”
Riki sat quietly as Jathan removed his dressing and cleaned the wound. “I’m going to apply a topical remedy which will speed up the healing process, unless you prefer Accelerator?”
Riki moved his head away “No! I don’t want that crap on by body- I feel bad enough as it is without more pain added intentionally.” Riki looked up at Jathan “But if you have something that will prevent scarring, I’d appreciate it, Iason doesn’t like scars on my body…” He whispered.
“Of course, this ointment will help” Jathan gently applied the ointment and bandaged Riki’s head noticing the wound over his right eye was rather deep. “Sir Riki, we are preparing a therapeutic bath for you this evening. We have a rather large hot spring beneath the foundation of the Estate, in fact- the Estate was built on one of the largest hot springs on Aristia.
It is well known for its curative powers and rivals the more popular Accelerator; the ointment I’m applying to your wounds is made from minerals from this spring. It has the same results as Accelerator however; it also provides a sensual feeling to the pleasure center of the brain. The soothing warmth from the springs will give you immediate relief. I’ve heard tales from the Elder Class that people sometimes have visions or ‘waking dreams’ while they heal both their physical wounds and the wounds of the heart.”
Jathan finished dressing his wounds when Riki spoke “The hot springs- did Iason ever use them?” Jathan’s eyes lit up “Oh yes! Master Iason was very pleased when he discovered the hot springs. He would soak often while he meditated in privacy”
Riki perked up when he heard that Iason meditated in the hot springs. “Do you know if Iason ever had a waking dream?” Riki pondered.
“I do not know, as I was quite young when Master Iason first became Lord of the Estate. There was however, a Sage, Petros- who is one of the Elder Class here. He taught Lord Iason to meditate in the springs. It was rather exciting to watch Petros, who is one of the eldest, instruct Lord Mink. Petros would tell him about Aristian beliefs, traditions and ancient history; Lord Mink loved all the stories.”
Jathan excused himself to check up on all the preparations “Sir Riki, why don’t you rest for now, I believe you will feel much better after tonight.”
Riki got out of bed and sat in a chair that looked out over the gardens, he wondered if this was how Iason became such an intellectual thinker, not so much from his education at the Academy, but from the meditation skills he learned here.
He wondered if Iason could link up with him if he soaked in this hot springs; theorizing that it’s mystic elements may boost his meditative abilities and perhaps reach Iason. He felt for the first time since the attack- hopeful, and in his mind began to think of all the possibilities. Odi did say Iason was taken, so what did he have to lose? Although no one knew of their secret abilities, Riki came to the conclusion that he would have to reveal this secret to at least two people, Odi and Jathan.
He gazed out the window at the beautiful scenery; the scent of the many flowers in the gardens and the gentle breeze had a calming effect. He wondered how many times Iason might have enjoyed such beauty. He thought about his dream, the images of Iason drifting in a sea of darkness, cold and all alone, was it really a dream? Or had Iason projected the images in his mind. Riki didn’t like that possibility only because it would mean Iason was suffering, and this made his heart ache. “Iason, where are you? I miss you…I am so lonely without you...”
Riki knew he would need to act soon, because he feared Iason could be far away by now; too far for him to reach using their link, after all- they had only linked on Amoi, and in relatively shorter distances than they are now, for all he knew- Iason could be at the edge of the quadrant…or possibly dead. Riki sighed deeply, the ringing in his ears would not go away, and he feared the bump on his head was the cause. He decided to go ahead with his plan and reveal their secret to Odi and Jathan.
*~*~*
Victor continued to monitor Iason’s vitals; he had stimulated Iason’s pleasure center in his mind while mental blocks diverted any and all pain away from his pain receptors. The coma, artificially induced by him, prevented the highly intelligent Blondie from waking up. He felt confident that with Accelerator Iason would heal enough by the time they reached their destination.
By Iason’s body cues and the readouts on the monitors, Victor could tell Iason was having a very pleasant dream. His patient had become sexually aroused and although he couldn’t move, Victor knew somewhere in his mind, Lord Mink was having a pleasant experience. Considering the Blondie’s stunning looks, Victor couldn’t help but envy the object of his pleasure; who was it that could awaken his cock even though he lay in a coma? Victor admired Iason’s charms secretly wishing he could peer into the mind of his patient and view the object of his desire.
Iason’s mind continued to slowly awaken the deeper he delved into his mind's eye. He focused on images of Riki, his smile and how his eyes shined when he was happy. His beautiful body always made his heart flutter and made his blood boil with lust throughout, awakening his cock. He loved to hold Riki in a warm embrace and feel his heart beat against his chest; his lips gently caressing his and his taste…oh…how he loved how his mouth tasted. He could drink from them forever and die content.
Riki would caress him and say his name when they were in the flames of passion
“Iason…”
Riki would whisper as he gazed at him. He thought of the many times he would take his Pet, the many ways and even in anger; naughty is his nature he mused, but he was a tempest of passion- one moment defiant and stubborn and the next- seductive and wickedly pleasant. His mind suddenly focused a recent memory of walking about on the Ios; he had taken Riki shopping in the many stores that lined the food court. They entered a Jewelry store that specialized in body jewelry. He was immediately swarmed by customers and sales clerks alike; making security difficult for Odi and Ayuda.
Once the store owner shooed away the crowd, Iason began to browse, the store owner approached Iason bowing humbly “G- Good day Lord Mink, is there anything in particular you are looking for?”
Iason looked at Riki from head to toe with a sensual grin on his face and said “Yes, I am looking for body jewelry for my Pet; gold and sapphire are the choices I prefer.”
Iason continued to browse as the store owner snapped his fingers and had a handful of attendants bring out the latest fashion in body jewelry. Iason’s eyes lit up when he saw a gold nipple ring with a sapphire stone, next he was shown a pair of ear clasps and a gold necklace with sapphire charms depicting ancient Amoian hieroglyphics that immediately caught his eye “This necklace will do” he pointed to the necklace held by an assistant.
“What do you have for his waist, I want something delicate, not of heavy chain mail.” He glanced at Riki, remembering how he complained of the small metal that pinched his body when he moved about. The owner brought out his measuring tape and measured Riki’s waist as Riki blushed being put on display.
He tugged at Iason’s cloak as the Blondie bent down as Riki whispered, “Master, this is too much.”
Iason smiled at him “No Riki, this is just right, I want to see you in this tonight and nothing else.” Iason caressed his cheek making the heat rise in his cheeks and his cock twitch with a surge of carnal agitation as Iason breathed in his ear. The wonderful scent of his cologne made Riki close his eyes, and his mind swim.
Riki whispered back “You know you’re giving me a hard on.” Riki sheepishly smiled as Iason gazed into his eyes. The attendants had by now shooed away the remaining customers and did not allow anyone to enter while Lord Mink was shopping; which brought a sigh of relief to Odi and Ayuda. Iason next chose a set of arm bracelets worn high and snaked around the arm; they had the same hieroglyphics engraved on each one.
Iason couldn’t help but smile when he pictured Riki in his mind naked and dressed up like a consort of some Royal prince from ancient history. At long last Iason was done, feeling pleased with his purchases privately wanting to strip Riki and dress him in his new jewelry; then taking him there on the spot. However, his lust would have to wait for a more private opportunity.
The store owner was equally pleased having Lord Mink shop in his boutique; having sold some of his more expensive pieces of gold and sapphire jewelry in stock and personally wondered about Lord Mink’s Pet, granted he was an exceptionally handsome Pet, with his dark hair and eyes. But, he was really taken by Lord Mink’s doting manner with his Pet, having heard all the gossip on board regarding the traveling Head of the Syndicate, which was a rare event indeed. This would be a boon to him thinking how impressed customers were to see the great Blondie shop like a regular citizen. This would certainly increase his sales.
Iason couldn’t stop thinking about Riki, clothed with nothing but the body jewelry he just purchased. This brought on a serious stir in his loins and decided to forgo the remaining shopping tour with his Pet and head back to the suite. Riki likewise was relieved, having Iason arouse him in the boutique by his sensual gaze and gentle touch. They seemed to be on the same wavelength as they kept glancing at each other out of the corner of their eye making Iason a bit impatient as they entered the elevator up to their suite.
Once inside, they were greeted by Toma “Welcome back Master, is there anything I can get for you?”
Iason looked at Riki, “Wine Toma.”
Toma bowed as he took Iason’s cloak “Yes Sir, right away.”
Iason removed the Pet chains much to Riki’s relief; and he smiled at Iason’s obvious state. Iason took hold of Riki’s chin and gently kissed his lips “Go to the bedroom and undress.” Riki walked away turning his head over his shoulder and gifting Iason with a drop dead gaze. Toma brought Iason his wine, he instructed that he was not to be disturbed.
Iason made for the Master bedroom and found Riki naked on the bed stroking himself “My Lord Mink, you look happy to see me” Riki raised his eye brows in a suggestive way giving Iason a saucy smile.
Iason’s cock immediately went stiff. “Riki, come here.” Iason placed his arms around Riki and gave him a hard long kiss wanting to devour his Pet. Riki stood on the tip of his toes, as Iason lifted him off the floor, and then gently brought him down.
“Mmm, I want you Pet” Iason kissed his neck and gently bit him making Riki gasp.
“Ooo someone is horny I think?”
Iason gave him a playful swat on his ass then released him “Let’s put on your new jewelry love” Riki smiled and began to remove the gold nipple ring he had on “Allow me Pet” Iason gently removed Riki’s gold nipple ring and carefully inserted the new one immediately bringing a smile to his face. “Yes, that is more like it, I knew this was perfect” Next he place the sapphire studded ear clasps on his ears, each had five small sapphire stones which sparkled when the light hit them.
Riki couldn’t help but smile at Iason’s expressions- he was like a kid dressing a doll admiring it here and there. Iason loved the next piece, it was a long gold chain that wrapped around Riki’s waist and hung loosely near the hollows of is hips. It was lightweight yet sturdy with two delicate sapphire stones on the tip of its length held by gold settings. Finally Iason placed the gold arm bands engraved with ancient Amoian hieroglyphics; he held the necklace in his hand and explained what the symbols .
“Riki, this is an ancient saying found on many of the walls at excavation sites at Menus Quentu it reads
'The Flame will burn one’s hands if held too tight.' It is an old prophesy dating back to the dawn of Amoian Civilization. It simply means that when one’s free will is taken, the flame of freedom will burn in one’s heart. This reminds me of you Riki, and how you have become this flame in my heart. I am both enslaved by you and set free because of my love for you. I could only hope you feel as I do.”
Riki was speechless, he looked at the gold necklace with the engraved symbols and then at Iason “Iason, I feel the same way, I feel more enslaved by my feelings for you, than by the chains I wear, you are also the flame within my heart.” Iason kissed him passionately, once again lifting him up and gently tossing him on the bed.
He undressed and stood near the edge “Pleasure me with your mouth, my love.”
Riki licked his lips suggestively as he sensually crawled towards Iason and sat at the edge of the bed, he gently took Iason’s warm cock in his hands and gazing into Iason’s eyes he slowly sucked on him without a single word tracing the ridge of his engorged cock deliberately with his tongue then took him in his mouth and began to love him slowly.
Iason moaned as he placed his hands on Riki head raking his fingers through the soft hair and gently pulling him towards his body. “That’s right love, just like that” Riki wrapped his hands around Iason’s hips gently kneading his ass and pulling his cheeks apart suggestively as he teased his perineum “Oh, Pet…” Iason began to thrust gently into his mouth, his moans betraying the excited Blondie gave Riki chills as his tongue wickedly teased Iason’s throbbing member.
Riki was hungry for Iason’s warm pulsing cock enjoying each gasp, each moan as they began to rise signaling his impending eruption. Riki then slowly penetrated one finger into Iason’s inner sanctum and then a second slowly thrusting in and out making Iason gasp and lose his control.
“Ah!...Riki…oh Pet…that is perfect!” Riki moaned as Iason began to tremble with his ascent, he grunted with each thrust into Riki’s mouth then pulled out and grabbed Riki by the arms and roughly turned him around. “Oh Pet, I can’t wait!”
Riki who was close to the edge himself didn’t bother to complain, having enjoyed Iason’s cock immensely now just wanted to feel it up his ass feeling his lover’s warmth against him in the most intimate way possible; as Iason penetrated slowly, Riki began to pant, “Oh…Iason….hard…ram it hard!”
Iason pushed to the brink took hold of Riki’s hips digging his fingers in and with almost barbaric force gave Riki what he asked for. “Oh…Pet…you are…going…to …drive me…into madness!”
With that Riki came, “Fucking Jupiter! Uhn…mm... Iason!” Iason heard Riki’s release and ejaculated throwing his head back and sending his hair in a long flowing arc with the force of his release. Then Riki saw a flash of light in his mind’s eye and saw himself standing on the edge of a cliff reaching after Iason who had fallen over “Iason!”
Riki caught his breath as Iason collapsed on his back breathing hard and moaning “Riki…Riki…”
Immediately Riki pushed Iason back onto the bed, their bodies both drenched with sweat. “Iason...are you all right!? Iason!” Riki panicked as Iason's blank expression frightened the little Pet, and as quickly as the flash came it vanished; Iason blinked and found Riki near tears shaking him as he called his name.
“Iason! Are you alright? You were gone for a moment- I flashed and saw you fall off a cliff! What was that all about? You were moaning my name and then I couldn’t wake you!”
Riki had tears in his eyes as Iason looked at him “Riki- I don’t’ know what just happened, I saw the halo and then found myself floating in a sea of darkness, then I heard you call me and I woke up.” Iason gathered Riki in his arms; he was trembling and had a death grip around Iason’s neck. “Now, now Riki, don’t fret, I’m alright see?” Iason held him softly in his arms.
“Iason, what if something happens to you? What if this was a vision or something?”
Iason quietly thought about it but his logical reasoning dismissed it “Now you know that doesn’t really make sense love, we probably stumbled onto some fear you must be feeling, remember how worked up you were before the trip? You may have just tapped into that, if you recall, you had nightmares at the beginning of our trip- remember? You moaned quite a bit, I thought perhaps you were dreaming of me ravishing you” Iason smiled weakly attempting to calm his trembling Pet.
But Riki was not convinced, having seen Iason in peril and not himself. “No- I am awake and I saw you Iason, you were walking in front of me then the ground gave way and you fell out over the cliff, you yelled my name and reached out to me.” Riki’s voice was sad “If it were about my fears, then shouldn’t I have been the focus of my own vision?”
Iason conceded that point to himself, but did not voice it out loud afraid of further upsetting Riki. Since it was Riki who initiated this link, Iason suffered no ill effects. “I’m sure you’ll feel better once we are on solid ground again my love, this whole trip has been very difficult for you, I see that now. Perhaps I should have considered that a bit more before leaving Amoi”
Riki then sat up “I disagree, there is more to his link you and I share, I know this; we have been linking up more often with our meditation sessions and besides, this vision was not about me. I’ve heard some people have had visions after being poisoned with Agetha.”
Iason pulled Riki on top of him “Hush now Pet, let’s not talk about this now, I won’t have you upset after sharing such intimacy together. You look absolutely delightful in your body jewelry; I must insist that you wear it at all times, Iason smiled. I chose gold for it’s purity and sapphire to remind you of my love for you.”
Riki sighed deeply, “I know you want to make me feel better Iason, but I won’t let this go, but yes- I love all the body jewelry, the sapphires do remind me of your eyes.” Riki gently kissed Iason on both eyes then softly kissed his lips. “I do love all your gifts, but you really spent too much on me…I’m just a..”
Iason reached up and kissed his lips, “You’re just my love, my heart, and my life, and there is no price worthy of my love for you Riki.”
Riki stunned by these words fell silent. He looked down at Iason feeling his heart beating loudly in his ears. “Iason, I do love you.”
Iason had never loved anyone like he loved Riki, there was a bond unlike any he had ever experienced. This final thought brought the sedated Blondie a different image in his mind’s eye, one of warmth and solitude of flickering candles and the scent of flowers. There was an ambiance of sensuality and peace. Iason continued to follow this train of thought that seemed to travel into the furthest regions of his mind. He floated there, suspended in a pool of warmth that bathed his body in tranquility. It lit up the darkness he had been floating in- chasing away the shadows that darkened his mind and slowly he began to hear the echoes of a voice that called out his name:
“Iason! Can you hear me? Can you see me?’
Victor’s heart was beating like a drum; he watched as Iason’s cock rose from under the sheet that covered the comatose Blondie, Iason’s face betrayed the emotions he was experiencing during his dream. He parted his lips slightly and his brow raised as his breath increased. Victor was tempted to pull the sheet and help relieve the aroused Blondie himself, but dared not instead, he would just enjoy the show by pleasuring himself. He rose and set the lock on the door.
He walked to Iason’s bed and pulled the sheet off Iason revealing the Blondie in all his glory, his cock erect and throbbing. Victor bit his lip and sat next to Iason’s bed, he tugged on the string that held his trouser flap and then pulled out his cock which was hot and pulsing in his hand.
He looked at Iason’s facial expressions and thought to himself, “What are you enjoying Lord Mink? Who is this someone special that is pleasuring your beautiful cock right now?”
Victor stroked his swollen member as his excitement grew, he dared not touch Lord Mink’s cock, but wondered who it was that made the Blondie’s heart race with passion. He ran his thumb across the tip of his cock which was wet with his own self-pleasuring arts, as Iason was close to his own release; his chest rising and falling; Victor eager with anticipation of his voyeuristic exploits expertly stroked himself and held on to his pending release as Iason suddenly held his breath and then ejaculated; spewing his sex that erupted like a volcano and spilled down his cock.
Victor suddenly arched his back as he relieved himself, stifling his moans to prevent his activity from being discovered. He sat there breathing hard, still holding his spent cock in his hand, now feeling a bit guilty of the pleasure he just enjoyed. He cleaned up and then proceeded to do the same to the now relaxed Blondie.
“I’m a bit jealous of whoever it is that makes you release with so much passion Lord Mink, perhaps I’ll be fortunate and get a glimpse of your pleasure once again.” Victor glanced at all the monitors to see if his vitals were stable, covered Iason once again, and left the room.
*~*~*
Thanx for reading my little story, be kind and give a review *bites nails!*
There were no crowds, no media barrage that normally would suffocate his every public appearance. The many that were to attend the Trade Conference were now being attended, where many more would not, having lost their lives in the attack, which rocked the peaceful lives of Aristia's people.
Riki frowned as he searched Odi's face for a glimmer of hope. “So there’s no news?”
Odi shook his head as Selene replaced Odi’s bandage with a fresh one. He winced, as his body was battered and bruised.
“None yet, but that doesn’t mean anything. As I’ve told the authorities, Iason was attacked and knocked out before he was kidnapped. I’m sure someone will be making a statement soon.”
Odi didn’t know what else to say, he felt responsible for Iason’s attack, questioning if there could have been something more he could have done to prevent Iason’s capture.
Riki now visibly shaking looked at Odi “Who could have done this? I mean, this is a Trade Conference; he’s been to many, why now? Why here? Iason just wanted a vacation; Aristia is supposed to be peaceful!” Riki placed his face in his hands; this was too much for him.
“I don’t know Riki” Odi said softly “There could be a lot of reasons given his position, or none at all. It’s too soon to tell, I’ll be returning to the Capital’s Security Ministry once I’ve seen to all of you; accommodations are being prepared as we speak.”
Riki looked alarmed “I want to be with you Odi, I want to help!”
Odi raised his hand, “I’m sorry Riki, but you need to be kept safe, you are still at risk. No one knows what will happen next.
“What about Katze and the others? What will happen to us?” Riki looked at Odi wanting to do more than just sit around licking his wounds.
“Katze will be here for some time; Daryl and Toma will be released in a few days, Tai was slightly injured but he was taken to the Estate. You will be taken there tonight. Someone will be along soon to pick you up. Please try to be patient Riki, I’m just as upset by all this as you are. Jupiter apparently has demanded Aristia’s full cooperation, she’s dispatched a security detail of Blondie’s lead by Lord Am. It was reported that she was so upset by Iason’s kidnapping that the ground shook and was felt throughout Amoi, frightening everyone.”
Riki didn’t care much for what Jupiter felt “Fuck that wiry old toaster! If she had allowed Iason to travel by himself the way you and Ayuda requested, then this wouldn’t have happened! I hate that bitch, someone should fucking pull the plug!” Riki was so angry he nearly fainted.
Selene was observing Riki from her station and came to his side when she noticed his agitated condition. Riki, you need to rest, if you overdo it, you will be re-admitted. Now I know you don’t want that do you?” Selene gave him a comforting smile. Riki shook his head feeling helpless of course. What could he possibly do to help Odi, much less Iason? He didn’t know anything or anyone in Aristia except those who came with him.
Odi left to look in on Katze, leaving a security detail to watch over Riki. When Odi returned, Riki asked him if he could check in on Daryl and Toma. “They are being transferred up to this wing as we speak. You can see them once they’re settled in their rooms.” Odi then gave him a reassuring smile “We’ll get through this Riki, stay positive.” Riki watched as Odi left the waiting room.
After a while, Riki was able to visit with Daryl and Toma. Daryl had sustained lacerations to his back when the ship was attacked throwing both Toma and him through a glass door in their suite. Toma had suffered a concussion, along with lacerations on his arms.
“Riki!” Daryl exclaimed as he peeked through the door of their room. Toma was having his dressings changed and smiled as Riki entered their room.
“Hey guys, how are you doing?”
Daryl was lying on his stomach “My back hurts, but I’m okay I guess, Toma looks worse than me.”
Toma grumbled “That’s because you landed on me when we were being tossed about in the suite!” Daryl winced as Toma complained.
“Where were you Riki? We were down on the 3rd floor, it was a disaster- all the attendants and Pets were taken there- how did you luck out?”
Riki did his best to smile, but had a really hard time, finally sitting down in one of the chairs in the room. “Riki, how are you doing? That looks like a nasty wound on your head” Daryl whispered when Riki closed his eyes for a moment. “Do you know where Master Iason and Katze are? No one will tell us anything; what happened to the ship?”
Riki looked at the two young men then quietly told them all he knew since he was rescued and brought to the Medical Center and what Odi had found out. Daryl was crying for Katze.
“Riki! I must see him, where is he? How is he doing?”
Riki spoke “Katze is in recovery, he went through hell Daryl, I won’t lie, but they said he will be ok, it will take a while though, they won’t let me see him yet, but Odi did and he said he’s being well taken care of.”
Daryl wasn’t comforted by this at all fearing for his fallen lover. “Oh Katze- he must have been in so much pain.” Daryl quietly sobbed.
Toma was equally shaken by all this; Ayuda had only recently declared his love for him and was fighting his own emotions when he noticed Riki gently trying to console Daryl despite his own anguish.
“Riki, I’m sure Master Iason is okay, you said he and Ayuda were drugged right? That means they meant not to harm them, so maybe they are okay.”
Riki held back tears, but his voice trembled “It does not matter, they took him by force, and knowing Iason, he’s not likely to just sit back and do nothing. Odi said Ayuda was also taken, why would they? He’s just a bodyguard; they left Odi but took Ayuda? It makes no sense.”
At that time, Selene came in followed by a young man dressed in traditional Aristian robes.
“Riki, this is Jathan, he is the head Attendant of Lord Mink’s Estate. He is here for you.”
Riki looked at the young man, who was about 20 years old with light brown hair and amber colored eyes. He was tall with a slender frame. His features were easy on the eyes, giving him a feminine appearance. He was dressed in an elegant floor length wrap made of royal blue silk with a gold colored sash wrapped around the waist. It had a high collar and long sleeves embroidered with gold thread in elegant floral designs. He wore a gold earring on his right ear and a gold ring on one finger with the initials IM engraved on it. He bowed respectfully as he was introduced.
“Sir Riki, I am Jathan from Lord Mink’s Estate. I am honored to meet you, although I hoped it would have been under better circumstances.”
He spoke fluent Amoian which took them all by surprise, but Riki was in no mood for pleasantries.
“Yeah, Odi told me you’d come, but I don’t want to leave my friends, we haven’t exactly had the red carpet treatment so I’m not too thrilled to have to leave them here.”
Jathan wasn’t put off by Riki’s tone and bowing slightly he whispered. “I regret that you were injured Sir Riki, we have all been saddened by the attack upon Lord Mink, he is loved by many people on Aristia, and most admired by his household staff. We are most grieved by his abduction.” Jathan remained with his head lowered as if waiting for permission to look up.
Riki spoke to him “Hey, Jathan was it? Look up, I’m just Lord Mink’s Pet, just call me Riki.”
Jathan slowly rose his gaze “Forgive me, Sir Riki, but you are also admired by many, so, no, I would not dare to take such liberties.”
Riki gave him the slightest hint of a smile making Jathan’s face brighten up. “Sir Riki, I’m to take you to Lord Mink’s Estate as you are the only one able to leave the Medical Center. I will return for Daryl and Toma once they are released from the Medical Center; please accompany me now.”
Riki was about to protest, but Daryl encouraged him to leave. “Riki, we’ll be okay, and we will see you soon, why don’t you go ahead.”
“Yeah, you probably haven’t eaten or slept have you?” Toma spoke putting on a brave front for his sake; though privately, Toma was worried sick for Ayuda.
Riki agreed turning to Daryl and Toma, “Okay, but I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Daryl smiled, “Sure Riki, it’s not like we’re going anywhere.” Daryl said sarcastically. Toma had lost the battle to remain awake and was now asleep thanks to the pain medication he’d received earlier. Riki gave Daryl a slight nod and left with Jathan.
He was escorted by a private detail of Aristian guards. According to Odi, there remained only a few guards from his security detail, as most had been injured or killed by the attack; some were unaccounted for and presumed dead. They were placed in a shuttle which flew over the city, the sun had now set over the large island, and the lights below twinkled like the stars above.
Riki remained quiet most of the way, lost in thoughts over his friends; privately wishing this was all just a dream and that he would soon wake up to find Iason in front of him. Jathan was feeling equally awkward, did his best to make Riki feel at ease.
“Sir Riki, I’m sure your friends will be well taken care of, our medical facilities are the best on Aristia, and your companions are in very capable hands.”
Riki’s thoughts came to a screeching stop “Bloody Hell! Who’s in capable hands? Is Iason in capable hands!? This has been the worst fucking day of my life! Iason is…well he’s gone! And my friends and I were almost killed!” Riki’s voice betrayed both his anguish, and his inner rage.
“I-I’m sorry Sir Riki, I meant only to comfort you, I know my Lord cares for you deeply, as we all do…”
Riki looked at Jathan, his hands were on his lap and he kept wringing the hem of his sash realizing the young man was trying once again to comfort him.
“I’m sorry, it’s been a really bad day and I don’t mean to take it out on you.” Riki tried his best to give him a smile. “But- what do you mean, you all do? I’ve never met any of you before today.”
“Yes- that is true; you’ve never met any of us here on Aristia. But I assure you, Lord Mink’s household has followed his life ever since he first came to Aristia many years ago. When Lord Mink was punished by Jupiter, we learned about you, Sir Riki.”
Riki was dumbfounded “I’m just a mongrel he took as a Pet, I’m no one special.”
Jathan shook his head “No, Sir Riki, you are special, to our Master, and to Aristia.”
As they approached the Estate, Riki was stunned at the size of it. It was located on a private island and although it was already dark, Riki could see the huge pillars that graced the front entrance. The whole Estate was tastefully lit giving it a regal appearance. He could see some of the landscape filled with many plants and trees. Riki guessed it was probably breathtaking in the daytime.
The front entrance was striking with pillars of white granite which had vines covering them with fragrant flowers of many colors. Riki could hear the quiet trickling of the many fountains that lined the garden-like foyer. Riki stepped in and was greeted by the staff which was assembled in traditional Aristian robes similar to Jathan’s, except not as heavily embroidered. Most had light brown hair similar to Jathan and they all wore one gold earring on their right ear, but only Jathan had a gold ring with Iason’s initials on them. It seemed that most were adults and there were several there who were Riki’s age if not younger. They all smiled and bowed as Riki entered, Jathan clapped his hands and they raised their faces.
“Sir Riki, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Lord Mink’s Estate, we hope we can serve you well, in the absence of our Master.”
Riki was stunned, he never thought a mongrel from the slums of Midas would ever be welcomed like royalty to an Estate as opulent as this. Jathan dismissed the staff to go about their duties.
“Sir Riki, it is late and you must be tired, can we get you something to eat? Nurse Selene mentioned you had refused to eat earlier in the day.”
Riki still awed by all the attention, looked at Jathan, he had not eaten since the rescue, and although he was exhausted, he knew he should eat something.
“Yeah, ok. I’m a bit hungry now.”
Jathan smiled “Of course you are, we shall see to it immediately.” Jathan led him to the dining hall where a place had already been set for him. The dinnerware was beautiful Aristian Amber Crystal- Iason’s favorite. A familiar aroma permeated throughout the hall as servers came in with the meal.
Suddenly Tai came rushing out of the kitchen upon hearing that Riki had arrived; he had a bandage on his forehead and on both arms.
“Riki? Oh Riki you are here! Armah be praised! I’ve been worried sick…where is everyone? Are they alright?”
Riki jumped from his chair again feeling faint as he embraced Tai. “Tai! Holy shit you’re alive! Man am I glad to see you!”
Riki was weak, exhaustion showed on his face, but most of all sadness. Tai eased him down onto his chair again.
“Riki, please sit down, you’re about ready to pass out. Here, sip some water and eat a little, you must be famished.” Tai nodded towards Jathan who prompted the servers back to their tasks as they stood around staring at Riki and Tai. Tai motioned to Jathan “Please allow Sir Riki some privacy, have his bath prepared and have a med-kit for his wounds available. He’ll be sleeping in the Master’s bedroom.”
Jathan bowed “As you wish Sir.”
Riki couldn’t help but notice how Tai was addressed “Hey Tai, what’s going on? I thought you were just the chef?” Tai blushed a bit “Well, there will be more time later for all that- right now, we need to get you settled for the night, so eat what you can, and then we’ll get you bathed so you can rest ok?”
Riki’s head was aching; he closed his eyes as he raised a hand to touch the bandage. “Do you have anything for this headache? My head is fucking killing me.”
“Yes, of course.” Tai again nodded to Jathan who left to retrieve some pain medication. “Eat Riki, please.” Riki began to eat a bit when Jathan returned; he had a small blue pill.
“Here Sir Riki, this should help.” Jathan handed him the pill, and a glass of water.
Riki took the pill “What is this?”
“It is an analgesic comprised of medicinal herbs native to Aristia, similar to an Opiate-3.”
Riki frown “That’s it? An O-3? My head feels like it’s about to explode!”
Jathan stared back at him “That is all I dare give you Sir Riki, you sustained a serious head injury, and I would be careless to sedate you completely considering the extent of your injuries.”
Tai smiled at Riki “Go ahead Riki, give it a try, you’ll swear it’s an O-6 believe me, you’ll feel better soon.”
Riki shrugged but went ahead and swallowed the blue pill. He ate very little but enough to satisfy Tai. Tai knew Riki’s lack of appetite was due to exhaustion and concern over Iason. Riki was led to the bath hall and was bathed with the utmost care for his injured body. He felt like a prince, as bittersweet as it was, he wished Iason was the one bathing him. He was dressed in dark silk nightshirt, and taken to the master bedroom.
As he entered the room, he immediately felt the warmth of the fireplace. Next to it was a large cushioned chair and fur rugs tastefully lay around the room. He sat in Iason’s chair and stared at the flames as they flickered and danced in the fireplace. He closed his eyes as the day’s events replayed in his head, he wondered if Iason was truly alright. Next thing he knew he was being laid in Iason’s bed and vaguely remembered hearing a voice say, “Rest Sir Riki, my Lord will return to us soon.”
*~*~*
Riki woke up in Iason’s bed, the pain in his head reminded him of the horror he survived only the day before. Jathan entered with a quiet knock at the door “Sir Riki, how do you feel?” Riki sat up in bed only to flop back down as his body reminded him of the ordeal he endured, by refusing to comply with his desire to move about.
“Bloody Hell! I feel like crap!” Riki loudly moaned his misery. He stared straight up at the ceiling listening to Jathan walk a cross the room towards the windows.
“Nurse Selene requested an update of your condition and to be sure I remind you to take your medication.”
Jathan pulled back the curtains and opened the windows letting fresh air in allowing the scent of the gardens to permeate the room. Next he pulled out a small box from his housecoat and opened it; inside there were little white pills. Jathan poured him a glass of water and held out the box to Riki.
“Nurse Selene sent these by courier, and said you may take these as needed for pain.”
Riki snatched the box from Jathan’s outstretched hand and immediately opened it taking one little pill and popping it into his mouth not bothering to drink any water. Riki’s night was filled with images of Iason injured adrift at sea, he was cold and tired. Riki thought perhaps it was just his exhaustion and worry that brought this on; his mind trying to reconcile his sadness with the absence of Iason.
Jathan noticed Riki’s bandage had bled through overnight “Sir Riki, I need to change your dressing, please stay in bed I’ll return shortly with your breakfast and a med-kit.” Riki touched his head, the pain he felt yesterday was nothing compared to the hell he was feeling today- his ears continued to ring, and there was no escaping it. In his mind, he still pictured Iason floating in a dark empty space; Riki closed his eyes feeling a chill down his spine as he thought of Iason alone or injured.
Jathan returned with a tray of food; everything looked delicious, it seems Tai was trying to cheer him up with all his favorite foods; eggs, bacon, pancakes with syrup and butter, toast, coffee and …orange juice. A sad expression replaced his smile as he looked at the orange juice and thought of Iason who always poured him a glass and insisted he drink it before coffee.
“Sir Riki is everything alright? If you don’t like the food, perhaps…”
Riki shook his head “No, its ok,” Riki whispered, “Tai remembered all my favorite foods- never mind me.” Jathan couldn’t help but feel sad for Riki, he knew the absence of Lord Mink weighed heavily on his mind.
“Sir Riki, is there anything I can do for you?”
Riki drank his juice before he touched any part of his meal. “Is there any word on Iason?”
Jathan shook his head “None Sir Riki”. But Odi mentioned he would visit you this afternoon after he finished with the Security Ministry.”
Riki sat quietly as Jathan removed his dressing and cleaned the wound. “I’m going to apply a topical remedy which will speed up the healing process, unless you prefer Accelerator?”
Riki moved his head away “No! I don’t want that crap on by body- I feel bad enough as it is without more pain added intentionally.” Riki looked up at Jathan “But if you have something that will prevent scarring, I’d appreciate it, Iason doesn’t like scars on my body…” He whispered.
“Of course, this ointment will help” Jathan gently applied the ointment and bandaged Riki’s head noticing the wound over his right eye was rather deep. “Sir Riki, we are preparing a therapeutic bath for you this evening. We have a rather large hot spring beneath the foundation of the Estate, in fact- the Estate was built on one of the largest hot springs on Aristia.
It is well known for its curative powers and rivals the more popular Accelerator; the ointment I’m applying to your wounds is made from minerals from this spring. It has the same results as Accelerator however; it also provides a sensual feeling to the pleasure center of the brain. The soothing warmth from the springs will give you immediate relief. I’ve heard tales from the Elder Class that people sometimes have visions or ‘waking dreams’ while they heal both their physical wounds and the wounds of the heart.”
Jathan finished dressing his wounds when Riki spoke “The hot springs- did Iason ever use them?” Jathan’s eyes lit up “Oh yes! Master Iason was very pleased when he discovered the hot springs. He would soak often while he meditated in privacy”
Riki perked up when he heard that Iason meditated in the hot springs. “Do you know if Iason ever had a waking dream?” Riki pondered.
“I do not know, as I was quite young when Master Iason first became Lord of the Estate. There was however, a Sage, Petros- who is one of the Elder Class here. He taught Lord Iason to meditate in the springs. It was rather exciting to watch Petros, who is one of the eldest, instruct Lord Mink. Petros would tell him about Aristian beliefs, traditions and ancient history; Lord Mink loved all the stories.”
Jathan excused himself to check up on all the preparations “Sir Riki, why don’t you rest for now, I believe you will feel much better after tonight.”
Riki got out of bed and sat in a chair that looked out over the gardens, he wondered if this was how Iason became such an intellectual thinker, not so much from his education at the Academy, but from the meditation skills he learned here.
He wondered if Iason could link up with him if he soaked in this hot springs; theorizing that it’s mystic elements may boost his meditative abilities and perhaps reach Iason. He felt for the first time since the attack- hopeful, and in his mind began to think of all the possibilities. Odi did say Iason was taken, so what did he have to lose? Although no one knew of their secret abilities, Riki came to the conclusion that he would have to reveal this secret to at least two people, Odi and Jathan.
He gazed out the window at the beautiful scenery; the scent of the many flowers in the gardens and the gentle breeze had a calming effect. He wondered how many times Iason might have enjoyed such beauty. He thought about his dream, the images of Iason drifting in a sea of darkness, cold and all alone, was it really a dream? Or had Iason projected the images in his mind. Riki didn’t like that possibility only because it would mean Iason was suffering, and this made his heart ache. “Iason, where are you? I miss you…I am so lonely without you...”
Riki knew he would need to act soon, because he feared Iason could be far away by now; too far for him to reach using their link, after all- they had only linked on Amoi, and in relatively shorter distances than they are now, for all he knew- Iason could be at the edge of the quadrant…or possibly dead. Riki sighed deeply, the ringing in his ears would not go away, and he feared the bump on his head was the cause. He decided to go ahead with his plan and reveal their secret to Odi and Jathan.
*~*~*
Victor continued to monitor Iason’s vitals; he had stimulated Iason’s pleasure center in his mind while mental blocks diverted any and all pain away from his pain receptors. The coma, artificially induced by him, prevented the highly intelligent Blondie from waking up. He felt confident that with Accelerator Iason would heal enough by the time they reached their destination.
By Iason’s body cues and the readouts on the monitors, Victor could tell Iason was having a very pleasant dream. His patient had become sexually aroused and although he couldn’t move, Victor knew somewhere in his mind, Lord Mink was having a pleasant experience. Considering the Blondie’s stunning looks, Victor couldn’t help but envy the object of his pleasure; who was it that could awaken his cock even though he lay in a coma? Victor admired Iason’s charms secretly wishing he could peer into the mind of his patient and view the object of his desire.
Iason’s mind continued to slowly awaken the deeper he delved into his mind's eye. He focused on images of Riki, his smile and how his eyes shined when he was happy. His beautiful body always made his heart flutter and made his blood boil with lust throughout, awakening his cock. He loved to hold Riki in a warm embrace and feel his heart beat against his chest; his lips gently caressing his and his taste…oh…how he loved how his mouth tasted. He could drink from them forever and die content.
Riki would caress him and say his name when they were in the flames of passion
“Iason…”
Riki would whisper as he gazed at him. He thought of the many times he would take his Pet, the many ways and even in anger; naughty is his nature he mused, but he was a tempest of passion- one moment defiant and stubborn and the next- seductive and wickedly pleasant. His mind suddenly focused a recent memory of walking about on the Ios; he had taken Riki shopping in the many stores that lined the food court. They entered a Jewelry store that specialized in body jewelry. He was immediately swarmed by customers and sales clerks alike; making security difficult for Odi and Ayuda.
Once the store owner shooed away the crowd, Iason began to browse, the store owner approached Iason bowing humbly “G- Good day Lord Mink, is there anything in particular you are looking for?”
Iason looked at Riki from head to toe with a sensual grin on his face and said “Yes, I am looking for body jewelry for my Pet; gold and sapphire are the choices I prefer.”
Iason continued to browse as the store owner snapped his fingers and had a handful of attendants bring out the latest fashion in body jewelry. Iason’s eyes lit up when he saw a gold nipple ring with a sapphire stone, next he was shown a pair of ear clasps and a gold necklace with sapphire charms depicting ancient Amoian hieroglyphics that immediately caught his eye “This necklace will do” he pointed to the necklace held by an assistant.
“What do you have for his waist, I want something delicate, not of heavy chain mail.” He glanced at Riki, remembering how he complained of the small metal that pinched his body when he moved about. The owner brought out his measuring tape and measured Riki’s waist as Riki blushed being put on display.
He tugged at Iason’s cloak as the Blondie bent down as Riki whispered, “Master, this is too much.”
Iason smiled at him “No Riki, this is just right, I want to see you in this tonight and nothing else.” Iason caressed his cheek making the heat rise in his cheeks and his cock twitch with a surge of carnal agitation as Iason breathed in his ear. The wonderful scent of his cologne made Riki close his eyes, and his mind swim.
Riki whispered back “You know you’re giving me a hard on.” Riki sheepishly smiled as Iason gazed into his eyes. The attendants had by now shooed away the remaining customers and did not allow anyone to enter while Lord Mink was shopping; which brought a sigh of relief to Odi and Ayuda. Iason next chose a set of arm bracelets worn high and snaked around the arm; they had the same hieroglyphics engraved on each one.
Iason couldn’t help but smile when he pictured Riki in his mind naked and dressed up like a consort of some Royal prince from ancient history. At long last Iason was done, feeling pleased with his purchases privately wanting to strip Riki and dress him in his new jewelry; then taking him there on the spot. However, his lust would have to wait for a more private opportunity.
The store owner was equally pleased having Lord Mink shop in his boutique; having sold some of his more expensive pieces of gold and sapphire jewelry in stock and personally wondered about Lord Mink’s Pet, granted he was an exceptionally handsome Pet, with his dark hair and eyes. But, he was really taken by Lord Mink’s doting manner with his Pet, having heard all the gossip on board regarding the traveling Head of the Syndicate, which was a rare event indeed. This would be a boon to him thinking how impressed customers were to see the great Blondie shop like a regular citizen. This would certainly increase his sales.
Iason couldn’t stop thinking about Riki, clothed with nothing but the body jewelry he just purchased. This brought on a serious stir in his loins and decided to forgo the remaining shopping tour with his Pet and head back to the suite. Riki likewise was relieved, having Iason arouse him in the boutique by his sensual gaze and gentle touch. They seemed to be on the same wavelength as they kept glancing at each other out of the corner of their eye making Iason a bit impatient as they entered the elevator up to their suite.
Once inside, they were greeted by Toma “Welcome back Master, is there anything I can get for you?”
Iason looked at Riki, “Wine Toma.”
Toma bowed as he took Iason’s cloak “Yes Sir, right away.”
Iason removed the Pet chains much to Riki’s relief; and he smiled at Iason’s obvious state. Iason took hold of Riki’s chin and gently kissed his lips “Go to the bedroom and undress.” Riki walked away turning his head over his shoulder and gifting Iason with a drop dead gaze. Toma brought Iason his wine, he instructed that he was not to be disturbed.
Iason made for the Master bedroom and found Riki naked on the bed stroking himself “My Lord Mink, you look happy to see me” Riki raised his eye brows in a suggestive way giving Iason a saucy smile.
Iason’s cock immediately went stiff. “Riki, come here.” Iason placed his arms around Riki and gave him a hard long kiss wanting to devour his Pet. Riki stood on the tip of his toes, as Iason lifted him off the floor, and then gently brought him down.
“Mmm, I want you Pet” Iason kissed his neck and gently bit him making Riki gasp.
“Ooo someone is horny I think?”
Iason gave him a playful swat on his ass then released him “Let’s put on your new jewelry love” Riki smiled and began to remove the gold nipple ring he had on “Allow me Pet” Iason gently removed Riki’s gold nipple ring and carefully inserted the new one immediately bringing a smile to his face. “Yes, that is more like it, I knew this was perfect” Next he place the sapphire studded ear clasps on his ears, each had five small sapphire stones which sparkled when the light hit them.
Riki couldn’t help but smile at Iason’s expressions- he was like a kid dressing a doll admiring it here and there. Iason loved the next piece, it was a long gold chain that wrapped around Riki’s waist and hung loosely near the hollows of is hips. It was lightweight yet sturdy with two delicate sapphire stones on the tip of its length held by gold settings. Finally Iason placed the gold arm bands engraved with ancient Amoian hieroglyphics; he held the necklace in his hand and explained what the symbols .
“Riki, this is an ancient saying found on many of the walls at excavation sites at Menus Quentu it reads
'The Flame will burn one’s hands if held too tight.' It is an old prophesy dating back to the dawn of Amoian Civilization. It simply means that when one’s free will is taken, the flame of freedom will burn in one’s heart. This reminds me of you Riki, and how you have become this flame in my heart. I am both enslaved by you and set free because of my love for you. I could only hope you feel as I do.”
Riki was speechless, he looked at the gold necklace with the engraved symbols and then at Iason “Iason, I feel the same way, I feel more enslaved by my feelings for you, than by the chains I wear, you are also the flame within my heart.” Iason kissed him passionately, once again lifting him up and gently tossing him on the bed.
He undressed and stood near the edge “Pleasure me with your mouth, my love.”
Riki licked his lips suggestively as he sensually crawled towards Iason and sat at the edge of the bed, he gently took Iason’s warm cock in his hands and gazing into Iason’s eyes he slowly sucked on him without a single word tracing the ridge of his engorged cock deliberately with his tongue then took him in his mouth and began to love him slowly.
Iason moaned as he placed his hands on Riki head raking his fingers through the soft hair and gently pulling him towards his body. “That’s right love, just like that” Riki wrapped his hands around Iason’s hips gently kneading his ass and pulling his cheeks apart suggestively as he teased his perineum “Oh, Pet…” Iason began to thrust gently into his mouth, his moans betraying the excited Blondie gave Riki chills as his tongue wickedly teased Iason’s throbbing member.
Riki was hungry for Iason’s warm pulsing cock enjoying each gasp, each moan as they began to rise signaling his impending eruption. Riki then slowly penetrated one finger into Iason’s inner sanctum and then a second slowly thrusting in and out making Iason gasp and lose his control.
“Ah!...Riki…oh Pet…that is perfect!” Riki moaned as Iason began to tremble with his ascent, he grunted with each thrust into Riki’s mouth then pulled out and grabbed Riki by the arms and roughly turned him around. “Oh Pet, I can’t wait!”
Riki who was close to the edge himself didn’t bother to complain, having enjoyed Iason’s cock immensely now just wanted to feel it up his ass feeling his lover’s warmth against him in the most intimate way possible; as Iason penetrated slowly, Riki began to pant, “Oh…Iason….hard…ram it hard!”
Iason pushed to the brink took hold of Riki’s hips digging his fingers in and with almost barbaric force gave Riki what he asked for. “Oh…Pet…you are…going…to …drive me…into madness!”
With that Riki came, “Fucking Jupiter! Uhn…mm... Iason!” Iason heard Riki’s release and ejaculated throwing his head back and sending his hair in a long flowing arc with the force of his release. Then Riki saw a flash of light in his mind’s eye and saw himself standing on the edge of a cliff reaching after Iason who had fallen over “Iason!”
Riki caught his breath as Iason collapsed on his back breathing hard and moaning “Riki…Riki…”
Immediately Riki pushed Iason back onto the bed, their bodies both drenched with sweat. “Iason...are you all right!? Iason!” Riki panicked as Iason's blank expression frightened the little Pet, and as quickly as the flash came it vanished; Iason blinked and found Riki near tears shaking him as he called his name.
“Iason! Are you alright? You were gone for a moment- I flashed and saw you fall off a cliff! What was that all about? You were moaning my name and then I couldn’t wake you!”
Riki had tears in his eyes as Iason looked at him “Riki- I don’t’ know what just happened, I saw the halo and then found myself floating in a sea of darkness, then I heard you call me and I woke up.” Iason gathered Riki in his arms; he was trembling and had a death grip around Iason’s neck. “Now, now Riki, don’t fret, I’m alright see?” Iason held him softly in his arms.
“Iason, what if something happens to you? What if this was a vision or something?”
Iason quietly thought about it but his logical reasoning dismissed it “Now you know that doesn’t really make sense love, we probably stumbled onto some fear you must be feeling, remember how worked up you were before the trip? You may have just tapped into that, if you recall, you had nightmares at the beginning of our trip- remember? You moaned quite a bit, I thought perhaps you were dreaming of me ravishing you” Iason smiled weakly attempting to calm his trembling Pet.
But Riki was not convinced, having seen Iason in peril and not himself. “No- I am awake and I saw you Iason, you were walking in front of me then the ground gave way and you fell out over the cliff, you yelled my name and reached out to me.” Riki’s voice was sad “If it were about my fears, then shouldn’t I have been the focus of my own vision?”
Iason conceded that point to himself, but did not voice it out loud afraid of further upsetting Riki. Since it was Riki who initiated this link, Iason suffered no ill effects. “I’m sure you’ll feel better once we are on solid ground again my love, this whole trip has been very difficult for you, I see that now. Perhaps I should have considered that a bit more before leaving Amoi”
Riki then sat up “I disagree, there is more to his link you and I share, I know this; we have been linking up more often with our meditation sessions and besides, this vision was not about me. I’ve heard some people have had visions after being poisoned with Agetha.”
Iason pulled Riki on top of him “Hush now Pet, let’s not talk about this now, I won’t have you upset after sharing such intimacy together. You look absolutely delightful in your body jewelry; I must insist that you wear it at all times, Iason smiled. I chose gold for it’s purity and sapphire to remind you of my love for you.”
Riki sighed deeply, “I know you want to make me feel better Iason, but I won’t let this go, but yes- I love all the body jewelry, the sapphires do remind me of your eyes.” Riki gently kissed Iason on both eyes then softly kissed his lips. “I do love all your gifts, but you really spent too much on me…I’m just a..”
Iason reached up and kissed his lips, “You’re just my love, my heart, and my life, and there is no price worthy of my love for you Riki.”
Riki stunned by these words fell silent. He looked down at Iason feeling his heart beating loudly in his ears. “Iason, I do love you.”
Iason had never loved anyone like he loved Riki, there was a bond unlike any he had ever experienced. This final thought brought the sedated Blondie a different image in his mind’s eye, one of warmth and solitude of flickering candles and the scent of flowers. There was an ambiance of sensuality and peace. Iason continued to follow this train of thought that seemed to travel into the furthest regions of his mind. He floated there, suspended in a pool of warmth that bathed his body in tranquility. It lit up the darkness he had been floating in- chasing away the shadows that darkened his mind and slowly he began to hear the echoes of a voice that called out his name:
“Iason! Can you hear me? Can you see me?’
Victor’s heart was beating like a drum; he watched as Iason’s cock rose from under the sheet that covered the comatose Blondie, Iason’s face betrayed the emotions he was experiencing during his dream. He parted his lips slightly and his brow raised as his breath increased. Victor was tempted to pull the sheet and help relieve the aroused Blondie himself, but dared not instead, he would just enjoy the show by pleasuring himself. He rose and set the lock on the door.
He walked to Iason’s bed and pulled the sheet off Iason revealing the Blondie in all his glory, his cock erect and throbbing. Victor bit his lip and sat next to Iason’s bed, he tugged on the string that held his trouser flap and then pulled out his cock which was hot and pulsing in his hand.
He looked at Iason’s facial expressions and thought to himself, “What are you enjoying Lord Mink? Who is this someone special that is pleasuring your beautiful cock right now?”
Victor stroked his swollen member as his excitement grew, he dared not touch Lord Mink’s cock, but wondered who it was that made the Blondie’s heart race with passion. He ran his thumb across the tip of his cock which was wet with his own self-pleasuring arts, as Iason was close to his own release; his chest rising and falling; Victor eager with anticipation of his voyeuristic exploits expertly stroked himself and held on to his pending release as Iason suddenly held his breath and then ejaculated; spewing his sex that erupted like a volcano and spilled down his cock.
Victor suddenly arched his back as he relieved himself, stifling his moans to prevent his activity from being discovered. He sat there breathing hard, still holding his spent cock in his hand, now feeling a bit guilty of the pleasure he just enjoyed. He cleaned up and then proceeded to do the same to the now relaxed Blondie.
“I’m a bit jealous of whoever it is that makes you release with so much passion Lord Mink, perhaps I’ll be fortunate and get a glimpse of your pleasure once again.” Victor glanced at all the monitors to see if his vitals were stable, covered Iason once again, and left the room.
