The Boys of Colony Theta Ch.03

"Just hang on Danny, I'll be back in a second!!" She said and she ran straight towards the kitchen.

Just as she made it to the kitchen, the front door opened and Eve walked into the room. She took one look at her sister, naked from the waist down, and smiled.

"You just couldn't wait to get poor Danny on the riding bench could you!" Eve said as she placed her briefcase on the floor. It was then that she sensed that something was amiss, "Ginnie? What's wrong?"

"Eve! Come quickly, Danny's choking!!" Virginia cried. She was looking for the sharpest serrated knife she could find.

Eve ran straight into the riding room to find Danny, his head pointing toward the floor on the broken riding bench, desperately struggling against the leather restraints that held him.

"Nnnggghhh!! Gaccckkkhhhh!! Cckkkhhhh!!"

"Hold on Danny!!" Eve said as calmly as she could, "Mistress Eve is here, you're going to be okay." She set about freeing him from the wrist restraints, but then immediately stopped dead in her tracks as she realised that to free him from the restraints too soon would result in more of his weight being supported by the already too-tight collar and strangling him even further.

"GINNIE!!" Eve screamed, "Hurry up!! What the fuck are you doing in there?!?"

Suddenly Virginia appeared behind her brandishing the knife. She wasted no time and started sawing away at the leather underneath the bench where it attached to the wooden surface beneath the padding, it was the only place where she could cut without harming Danny. With relief she noticed that the serrated blade made short work of the collar.

Within a few seconds the collar snapped and Danny's neck was finally free. Colour immediately returned to Danny's face as the blood rushed towards his head. He gasped and coughed as precious air filled his lungs. The sudden blood rush was too much for him however and pretty soon he passed out. Much to Virginia and Eve's relief however, he was still breathing.

The twins released Danny's ankles from the restraints and carefully, they laid him out on the floor. He came around a little but it was clear he was only semi-conscious.

"Help me carry him into the living room." Eve said, "And then you can tell me what the hell happened."

Eve and Virginia picked the delirious Danny up off the floor and got him on his feet. They managed to get the naked semi-conscious boy into the living room where they laid him down on one of the sofas. Eve placed a blanket over Danny and kissed him on his forehead. He opened his eyes and looked her in the eye.

"Shh... Shh... It's okay Danny," Eve said softly as she stroked his hair, "you're safe now. It's all over."

Danny immediately erupted into a flood of tears and violent coughing. Virginia took him in her arms and started sobbing herself.

"I'm sorry Danny, I'm so very, very sorry." Virginia sobbed.

Eventually, Danny calmed down and the two young women left Danny to rest on the sofa. Eve took Virginia to the kitchen and located the first aid kit. Eve started tending to the gash on Virginia's forehead.

"So, you going to tell me what happened or what?" Eve said brusquely towards Virginia as she dabbed the blood away from the wound with a piece of cotton wool.

"Can't I at least go and put some underwear on first?" Virginia replied.

"No!" Eve said sharply, "You nearly killed Danny! I think an explanation is due first."

"I... I don't know what happened." Virginia said tearfully, "I picked Danny up from work on my way home from my office. I'd had a really stressful day and... just watching Danny take his clothes off in front of me... I needed him Eve! I figured there was time for a quick ride, so I told him to get in the riding room and get on the riding bench. I strapped him down as normal and then..."

"I think I can guess the next bit." Eve said.

"Yes, well... anyway, I was just riding him as usual and then he started trying to tell me something."

"What did he try to say?"

"I don't know!" Virginia sobbed, "I told him to shut up! But he kept on and I told him... I told him I would punish him if he didn't keep quiet!" She broke down in tears as she told her sister how she had admonished the poor and helplessly restrained boy.

"Then what happened?"

"It all happened so quickly." Virginia sobbed, "There was a loud creak and then a bang and the next thing I know I'm falling forward and I smacked my head on the floor. I think I lost consciousness for a moment and when I came around I had the most intense pain in my head and when I checked myself I discovered I was bleeding. And then... and then..."

Virginia sobbed profusely.

"I noticed he was... choking."

Just then the front door slammed shut - Rebecca had arrived home. She spied Danny on the sofa, the red mark around his throat, and the two girls in the kitchen. She noticed Virginia was naked from the waist down, in floods of tears and sporting a cut on her forehead.

"What the hell happened here?" She asked.

Rebecca sat herself down and cradled Danny's head in her lap and stroked his hair softly.

"Oh, mother." Virginia said tearfully, "I'm afraid there's been an accident."

She recounted her story to her mother.

Rebecca looked at the red mark across Danny's throat - it looked as though he had been garroted. The still somewhat groggy boy came around to see his mistress's concerned face looking back at him.

"M... My M-Mistress..." Danny croaked.

"Shhh... it's okay Danny, I'm here." Rebecca said softly as she cradled him, "Ginnie told me what happened and she's very sorry."

"M... My Mistress... I... I tried..." Danny said hoarsely.

"Shhh... Don't try to talk Danny, just get some rest, there's a good boy."

She sat and cradled him softly until he drifted off to sleep.

"Eve, give Dr Williams a call - I just want her to give Danny a quick checkup to make sure there isn't any permanent damage." Rebecca said to her daughter, "And she can take a quick look at Ginnie too in case she has a delayed concussion."

"I'm fine mum, really I am." Virginia said, "I'm more concerned about Danny than about my stupid head!"

"All the same," Rebecca said, "I think you should be looked at - it needs a proper dressing on it at the very least."

Dr Elizabeth Williams lived eight floors down from Rebecca's apartment so she was able to come up to examine Danny within minutes of being called. Danny by now had come around to full consciousness and Eve had made him a strong cup of tea that he sipped carefully.

"I think you ought to get him something a bit stronger Eve, he's had a nasty shock. Go and get some brandy from the liquor cabinet." Rebecca said.

"But mum, males aren't allowed to drink alcohol!" Virginia said.

"I think under the circumstances the Enforcers would turn a blind eye in this instance." Rebecca said as Eve took a glass from the liquor cabinet and poured a glass of brandy, "Besides, if they do fine me for allowing him to have alcohol then so be it - I could easily afford the penalty. I'm sure Dr Williams won't say anything to them though."

The Enforcers were members of the enforcement division of the Department of Male Administration and Correction. They were separate from the mainstream police force in that their sole jurisdiction was to ensure that the various rules and regulations that pertained to the ownership and trade of males were adhered to by their owners and that the males themselves obeyed the laws that governed them. One such law was that males were not allowed outside between the hours of 7pm and 7am unless accompanied by a woman. They had the power to fine or imprison those who transgressed the law for many other misdemeanors, such as allowing males to consume alcohol, using non government approved methods of discipline and for gross maltreatment etc.

Eve gave Danny the glass of brandy and he sipped it cautiously, grimacing suddenly as the warmth of the alcohol flooded his mouth and ran down his throat.

The doorbell rang and Eve went to answer it. Moments later she returned with the doctor who followed her to where Danny was laid out on the sofa. Dr Williams set about examining Danny. She began by scanning the microchip embedded in his neck that displayed all his relevant details and his medical records on the screen of her scanner unit. She removed the blanket that covered him and conducted a thorough examination of him noting the red marks around his wrists and ankles and especially around his neck.

"Hmmm... It looks as though the restraints have caused a little bruising to his wrists and ankles." Dr Williams said as she examined Danny, "you should be more careful not to secure him so tightly next time. His neck is also bruised a little but it doesn't look like anything too serious."

She took a tongue depressor and a small pen torch from her bag and instructed Danny to open wide. She placed the depressor on his tongue and peered down his throat.

"Say 'ahh' for me please Danny." She said.

"Ahh." Danny said with some difficulty.

Dr Williams noted the smell of alcohol on his breath.

"Have you allowed him to drink alcohol?" She asked Rebecca who stood alongside.

"Just a drop of brandy," Rebecca replied, "purely for medicinal purposes. I figured he'd had a nasty shock and just needed a little something to calm his nerves."

"Well, I'll say nothing to the Enforcers on this occasion, but try not to make a habit of it okay." Dr Williams said gravely.

"Yes, of course." Rebecca said.

"Right, well I can confidently say they there should be no lasting damage." Dr Williams said as she stood up, "You've had a very lucky escape Danny."

She turned and faced Rebecca and the girls.

"He'll be a little sore for a few days and he may sound a bit hoarse for a little while but he should make a full recovery." She said, "In the meantime I want him to rest up, at least for a day or two, and he is not to be used sexually for at least a week. It might be too traumatic for him to be ridden again too soon. But don't leave it for too long - the best thing would be for him to 'get back in the saddle', so to speak, as soon as possible."

Dr Williams then turned her attention to Virginia, who by then had made herself decent, and examined the wound to her head. To Virginia and her mother's relief there was no need for any stitches and there were no signs of any lasting concussion.

Her work done, Dr Williams said goodbye and returned to her apartment downstairs announcing that she would return the following day to check on Danny.

Rebecca viewed the wreckage of what remained of her riding bench and sighed heavily.

"It belonged to my grandmother you know." She said to her twin daughters, "Handed down over the years. It wasn't a particularly expensive one, but it had sentimental value. I lost my virginity on it, as did my mother before me. Over the years, no fewer than twenty seven males have been ridden on this bench."

"We lost our virginities on it as well." Eve added, "It seems weird to think that it was only a few years ago since you hired, what was his name? Sebastian, from the Maison in town for us to ride for the first time."

It was a common practice for women to hire a boy for her daughters to lose their virginity on as part of their 18th birthday gift. The Maisons - the government sponsored brothels that most towns had at least one of - often hired their boys out for such purposes in return for a fee.

"I'll pay for it to be repaired." Virginia said. By now she had dressed in a bath robe and had a dressing applied to her forehead, "I mean, I was the one that broke it after all."

Rebecca examined the broken legs of the riding bench.

"Nope, it's my fault." Rebecca sighed, "See this?"

She handed the broken leg to Virginia.

"The screws have worked themselves loose over the years - I should've checked them to make sure they were still tight enough." Rebecca said, "I was so excited and preoccupied about getting Danny that I neglected to make sure that it was still safe to use."

"And I'm to blame for strapping him down too tightly." Virginia said.

"We're all to blame in a way." Eve said, "We've been taking Danny too much for granted. Having to serve three mistresses must be hard on him."

"You're right I suppose." Rebecca agreed, "From now on girls, only one of us gets to use Danny each evening. We each get him to ourselves for two nights a week and he can have Sunday nights off. We'll also eat out every Sunday so that Danny can have a whole day without having to serve us. Agreed?"

"Agreed." The twins said in unison.

His three mistresses had put Danny to bed. Eve had switched on his television and he began using various hand gestures to flip through the many channels, trying to find something interesting to watch. He loved documentaries and factual programming, eager as ever to improve his knowledge of the world, and eventually he settled on an interesting film about the ancient Roman city of Pompeii and the volcanic eruption that destroyed it in the year 79AD.

After a while the film was interrupted by a commercial break. Most of the commercials featured males in varying states of undress. There was a strict rule that males were not to be depicted with an erect penis but other than that, nothing was off-limits. Images of nude males were used to sell everything from bathroom products to household appliances, the latest deals from online supermarkets and even online gaming sites. Sex, it seemed, still sold the goods - in the world of advertising, some things never changed.

About halfway through the commercial break, a now familiar advert came on to the screen. It was the commercial that, all those weeks earlier during his first evening in his new home, his mistress Rebecca had switched off in order to protect him from discovering what it was selling and to prevent him from discovering the truth too soon, and resulted in him being banned from watching live TV until after his deflowering.

A smartly dressed woman faded onto the screen and a soft tune played in the background.

"Sisters, we at Kindleton know you want the best for the male in your life so it's only natural that you'd want the very best for both of you when it comes to comfort in the riding room. And what better way to show him your dominance and for him to show his submission than by choosing a Kindleton riding bench!"

The scene changed to show a busy workshop as a group of craftswomen shaved and carved wood and sewed upholstery. The spokeswoman's voice played over the images.

"Here at Kindleton, our riding benches are lovingly constructed by highly skilled craftswomen using only the finest materials and softest upholstery to ensure comfort for your male and that unmistakable feeling of dominance for you."

The scene changed again, this time showing a naked male strapped down on the company's flagship model. The spokeswoman appeared once again behind the helplessly restrained boy and continued to address the camera.

"All our riding benches come with only the finest restraints to help you keep your male pleasingly submissive, right where you want him. Prices start from just 9995 and interest free credit is available across the range. So don't delay, sisters - order a Kindleton today! Come visit us online or at one of our showrooms. Kindleton - when only the best is good enough!"

Danny clicked off the television - he'd had enough of riding benches for one day.

Meeting Mrs. Scottsmore

Four days had passed since the accident and Dr Williams had passed Danny fit to return to work. He normally endured riding the hover-tram with Virginia, as her office and the advertising agency where Danny worked as an intern were only around the corner from each other. Today however, wishing to protect Danny from the unwelcome groping of the women on board the hover-tram, Virginia had ordered a taxi-pod for their journey to work.

As the taxi-pod came to a halt, Virginia held her card against the scanner pad to pay the fare. As soon as the pair disembarked, its door closed automatically and the driverless vehicle whirred off back into the city traffic.

"I'll um... see you later for lunch okay Danny." Virginia said. Since they worked so near to each other, they had got into the habit of taking lunch together at the café across the road from the building where Danny worked.

"Yes, thank you Mistress Ginnie. I'll meet you later." Danny replied.

Virginia kissed him on his cheek and waved him goodbye.

He made his way to his desk where a message waited for him. It said simply 'Welcome back Danny, so pleased to hear that you are okay, please see me when you get in. Mrs. Scottsmore wants you to do something for her - Alison.'

Mrs. Jordan Scottsmore was his boss, the owner of the advertising agency where he worked. It wasn't much of a job really - in this society, males were expected to be domestically and sexually servile first and foremost, so the few males that did make it out into the workforce were only ever assigned the most mundane and menial tasks. Danny's duties mainly consisted of typing up correspondence, filing accounts payments and making tea and coffee. They were basically the jobs that the rest of the female workforce deemed to be beneath them, but Danny loved it - it was just nice to get out of the apartment for three days a week and do something other than housework and... other duties. And to wear clothes of course. Three days was, by law, the maximum time allowed for males to work outside the home. The total workforce of the company totaled over 300, all housed within a single building in the Salford district of Manchester. Only four of the company's employees were male, Danny being the newest.

Alison was the director of finance, and Danny acted as an assistant to her PA. It was Alison's job to run the company's books and oversee the budgets of the various departments within the company. She occupied a large office on the fourth floor of the building that overlooked the old Manchester ship canal.

Danny, made his way to her office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" She called.

Danny entered the spacious office and closed the door behind him.

"Danny, sweetheart - it's so good to see you. I was so worried!" Alison said as she got up from her desk and took Danny in her arms in a warm hug.

Danny reciprocated her embrace, although only through politeness.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she took a step back to appraise his physical condition.

"I'm fine." Danny said, "Thank you for your concern Mistress Alison. And thank you for the flowers you sent me."

"You're welcome Danny, you wouldn't believe how worried I was for you. Well, all of us were worried really."

"You said in your message that Mistress Scottsmore wanted me for something." Danny said.

"Yes, she says you are to go and see her after lunch at half past one."

"Did she mention what it was that she wanted me for?" Danny asked.

"No... although I have a pretty good idea what she wants you for." Alison said, "Now, I expect you'll want to get back to work and take your mind off your accident. I've got the accounts in from the Lasermax Eye Surgery account for their autumn campaign and I need you to collate as much of it as you can into monthly statements. Can you manage that? I'll get Laura to help you if you get stuck."

Laura was Alison's PA - Danny's immediate supervisor.

"Thank you Mistress Alison." Danny said politely, "I'll see how I get on."

Later that day, Danny met Virginia for lunch at the café across the street. A young woman was serving today, it was obviously one of the days when Fabio was not allowed to work. They ordered a cappuccino for Virginia and an Americano for Danny and two cheese and bacon Panini's and sat at a table by the window.
