Jordan in the tall grass
They Are A-OK Ch. 22
When I got back to my apartment late that afternoon I discovered that my unannounced absence from campus had caused a great deal of commotion in the brotherhood.
Where the fuck have you been? Was Kyle s greeting before I even got the front door closed.
Not real sure why I need to explain myself but I had an out of town date Saturday night. What the fuck is the problem anyway? I shot back feeling unusually defensive.
There are several problems lover. First a damn note would have been nice. Your fucking brothers have been searching campus and town for you. There was a suggestion that you might have been abducted. No one could figure why a pledge would leave without telling anyone on the eve of graduation week. Fucking Christ man the council is spiting mad He explained clearly exasperated.
Fuck no one told me there was any reason for me to hang around.
I know there was a surprise ceremony this morning. We showed up to get you at six expecting you to be in bed snoring. Since everyone of your fucking friends in the brotherhood was in on the surprise we had to start checking other people you might be spending the night with. We pissed off a lot of people with early calls who had no idea where you were.
Didn t Colin s little buddy in the AOK office tell him I took out a car? I asked stunned that anything had gotten past the council s gofer.
No he didn t think to inform anyone about a routine loan of a car to a brother and no one thought to ask him about you. As far as anyone knows you haven t fucked him yet.
Well actually I have but anyway why are you so agitated over this?
Because I am worried about the penalty you will have to pay.
Fuck so my ass gets a few welts.. I managed before he cut me off.
Damn I thought you memorized every damn word in those ritual manuals. This is a major offense. You should have known that you were restricted to campus starting at midnight Saturday.
Yeah I do recall that. But I figured that since I was so far ahead of my pledge class I wouldn t have any requirements until mid-week.
Don t explain it to me and I wouldn t try that excuse with the council. Fuck let s go. Anyone who finds you is instructed to deliver you to the council room immediately.
He made a quick call to Colin so he could call off the search and give the council time to assemble. After I took a piss we headed across campus to the house. I was surprised that there was no life in the house when we arrived. As it turned out anyone that was in the house had been sent to round up the searchers. Kyle led me through the eerily quiet mansion to the council meeting room on the third floor. I somehow knew that this visit to the large ceremonial room would be very different from my previous times up there.
The seven council members sat behind the long table at the front of the room. They wore their robes with the hoods up. Their heads were bowed which concealed their faces from view. Of course unlike my first visit to the room by that time I knew them all well. Brock sat in the center seat. As usual Eric and Calvin were seated to his right. Next to them sat the newest council member Randy Aber. He had replaced Ray. On the left side were three seniors Aaron Nelson Joe Fields and Stan Graham. Though the majority of the council were friends and lovers I knew I could not expect special treatment. They would do their duty to the brotherhood even if that included casting out a friend. I stood in the doorway while Colin led Kyle up to the table.
Exulted council Brother Kyle comes before you with urgent business Colin said in a reverent tone. Do I have leave to allow him to speak?
I knew from the formalness of the words and tone that I was in for a serious experience. I also knew that whatever it took I would not flinch or deny the power of the council. Full membership was close and far too important to loose. Brock raised his head. Though he was speaking to Colin I felt as if his eyes were boring into my body.
He may speak Brock said softly.
Colin withdrew and joined me at the doorway.
I bring before you the wayward pledge. He returned to our apartment unaware of his misdeed Kyle said in deferential tones.
I was stunned that Kyle was adding the crime of ignorance of brotherhood rules to my absence. I assumed that he did so to show me that only complete honesty would keep me in the brotherhood.
It is fortunate that you brought him to us so soon. Have you anything more to report? Brock asked in an unusually stern tone.
Only that I deeply regret and fully apologize for his failure as I am sure all of us that were responsible for the pledge do also.
The others may speak for themselves. As for our judgment of you that will wait until we speak with the pledge. Please wait in the ante room.
As Kyle disappeared into the small room behind the main chamber I caught of glimpse of Troy and Dom. I felt sick as I realized that my actions would cause others to be punished as well.
Brother Colin have the pledge bare himself and then bring him before us Brock barked.
I was frightened as I quickly stripped off my clothing in response to the order echoed by Colin. The atmosphere had a somber tone that filled me with dread. The thought that I might actually loose all that had been offered to me weighed heavily upon my thoughts. As soon as I was naked Colin took my arm and led me to the table. The other council members raised their heads and Colin back away into the shadows. I had grown accustomed to being made to stand naked before groups of my brothers. I had been examined fondled poked and prodded in places and ways unimaginable not long before I began my pledge semester. But that day was different. I felt as if they were looking past my exposed flesh to my very soul when they lowered their hoods and stared at me.
Pledge you have been brought before us on very serious charges Brock began solemnly. The council has been conferring all this day on these matters. We are disappointed and saddened that a pledge with your promise has failed the brotherhood in such a serious way.
Though I tried I could not conceal the emotions I felt at the mention of failing the brotherhood. There was no mistaking the meaning of Brock s words. Thankfully he continued as if I had not reacted.
Worse it now comes to our attention that it was not accidental. In fact it seems that you have admitted being unaware of your duties. Is this true pledge?
Sir I was not completely unaware. I allowed the requirement to slip my mind as I have not been given any duties lately. I had in my mind that the next requirement I would need to fulfill would fall on this coming Wednesday. I humbly apologize for my transgression and submit myself to any punishment I need serve as penitence.
John this matter is not as simple as you seem to want to make it Brock said sadly surprising me with the use of my name. Your actions have a wide effect. Failing to meet so important a restriction at this stage is to disregard our most sacred rites. Further you have brought shame upon those responsible for your training your sponsors guides and mentors fail because you fail.
He fell silent as I stood there trying not to squirm. I felt a bit nauseous that not only might I be denied membership in the brotherhood but also my closest friends were going to suffer a loss of prestige. After several minutes of standing there with fourteen eyes boring into me Brock finally spoke again.
Does any of the council have questions for the pledge?
Eric was the first to speak. As he did so I wondered if I ever again would get to see the hawk as I sucked his cubby cock.
Pledge perhaps it would benefit the council to know what was so important that our sacred rules were lost to your memory? He asked in a compassionate sounding tone.
He was offering me a chance to defend myself with an explanation of some important matter I needed to attend. But all I had was the truth which I knew was not reason enough to violate an important rule.
A sexual liaison was all that was involved I said in a voice barely above a whisper.
I thought Joe Fields was going to come over the table as he commented incredulously on my answer. Though almost twenty-three the curly headed stocky wrestler looked like he might still be in high school. His youthful freckled face turned red with apparent anger. I could see that he had balled up his fist and his dark eyes bore into me.
John your reputation is well known. You do not lack for sexual partners. A majority of this assembly including myself have been intimate with you. In addition to those in the brotherhood who have or would like to have sex with you it is no secret that you are popular with the female students here as well. How can it be that you had such a great need for a fuck that you had to leave campus? Please explain so that we may know you have not lied to us!
Until he mentioned it I had barely remembered having sex with Joe. I had been hanging around the frat house with my pledge mates one afternoon when Joe asked me up to his room. Once in his room he simply told me that he wanted to go to bed with me. We got naked made out in his bed for awhile and then sucked each other s cocks. It was unimaginative but fun enough. However it was not something I sought to repeat. I had the feeling for him I was just another mark on his score card. Since he used my first name I used his in return.
Joe it was not an overall lack of sex that precipitated my going off campus for a date. But it was a partner that was not obtainable on campus. My partner was a woman that I met while visiting Adam Donaldson I started hoping the mention of Adam might have a mitigating influence on the outcome. It was an overdue liaison I believe. But there was a reason that my sexual need was higher than usual this weekend. Most of my brothers were occupied with graduation prep or helping my pledge mates complete tasks. As for my popularity with campus women it seems on this particular weekend that all the females that might be readily available for sex were otherwise occupied. Since I had a prior commitment to visit this woman it seemed a better alternative then jerking off or attempting a pickup of a new partner.
And the name of this mystery woman that you claim is a friend of brother Adam? Brother Aaron who was sitting next to Joe asked piping in.
I was not sure how steady a ground I was on when I a respectfully declined to give her name.
Sir I do not believe that it is proper to reveal the indenty of a person who I have been intimate with without their permission.
At that point both Joe and Aaron looked spitting mad. Fortunately Brock interceded.
John your chivalry is admirable and certainly in keeping with the brotherhood s creed. However the keeping of a secret from a brother is unacceptable. You will reveal her name with the assurance that your secret is our secret and the name will not pass these walls.
I could tell from his tone that I had no choice. Maintaining a secret before the council would be the final blow to my chances of membership.
I am sorry to have not responded immediately with a forthright answer. However she is well known I a felt a duty to protect her reputation. My liaison was with Felicity Culbertson.
The surprised look on Brock s face was matched by the faces of the other six council members. It was clear that they all knew her. I wasn t sure if any had bedded her. Though I was sure if they had it was a very different experience than my own. In another minute Brock asked if there were any more questions. No one spoke and he stood up and came around the table. I had expected an immediate judgment but instead found myself with Brock s arm around my shoulder as he led me out into the hall.
John you will wait here while the council deliberates.
What is going to happen to me? I asked feeling desperate.
I do not know. The council is a democratic body. Being president carries great ceremonial honor but little power. The majority decided your fate and I will not comment further.
I am sorry for all of this Brock.
Me too. I am also worried about you beyond brotherhood matters. Felicity is dangerous.
No worries there. I know her secrets.
I hope we have a chance to talk more about her in that case. For now I must leave you.
He returned to the council room and Colin came out. I assumed he was sent to babysit me.
They didn t think I would run away did they? I asked him.
Of course not. Their deliberations are secret even from me. I could have gone anywhere but I thought you might like some company instead of being left alone with your thoughts He replied in what sounded to be a sincere tone.
Thank you that would be nice.
Suddenly I felt odd standing there naked while Colin was fully dressed with no sexual context. His next words didn t exactly ease those feelings.
John if you would like some distraction I want you to know I am very willing to help.
Wow are you suggesting we fuck while we wait? I asked totally surprised.
Um I know sex is probably the last thing on your mind but I know that it clears away everything sometimes. I just thought if you wanted I could suck your cock or whatever.
The idea of having Colin get on his knees and suck me off in the hall while the council debated my fate was both strange and erotic at the same time.
Is that a good idea? Wouldn t they be pissed if they walked in on that?
There is no restriction yet. We are brothers and no one objects to brother s engaging in sexual activity in the house. As for them interrupting us it will be at least an hour before they call you back in.
I still wasn t sure about his offer but my cock was responding positively. He apparently took my semi-erect cock as acceptance of his proposition. He dropped to his knees at my feet. I wanted to tell him no but my baser desires overpowered my conscious mind and silenced my voice. His fingertips grazed my ball sack as he took hold the base of my growing dick with his thumb and forefinger. He kissed my cock head softly as he teased my full balls. I grew harder as he began to bathe my cockhead with his talented tongue. Soon I was covered in his shinny saliva from my cum slit to the base of my throbbing shaft. I bit my fist to stifle my deep moans as he took one of my nuts between his lips. He gently sucked on each of my balls as he nudged my legs further apart.
When the tip of his tongue touched my anal rim his prediction about sex making me forget the proceedings in the next room came almost completely true. While I could not forget that my future was being debated on the other side of the wall the immediate pleasure I was feeling was far out in the forefront. As he sat on the floor between my legs with his tongue stabbing at my sensitive asshole I could see the bulge in his pants just below his slightly pudgy belly. I never really knew why I found his soft middle and love handles so enticing but at that moment I wanted him naked. I was salivating at the thought of getting my lips around his hot cock.
I reached down and pulled him up. He looked confused as he came to his feet. I wiped the expression from his face with a long deep kiss. As our tongues played I unbutton his pants and pushed them down his legs. With my desires obvious he broke the kiss and quickly stripped off his clothes. His beautiful hard cock drew me like a magnet collects steel shavings. I fell to my knees and took his cock in my mouth. All thought of the council and my future disappeared in a haze of sexual desire. I took every bit of his twitching meat into my mouth and throat. I wildy deep throated the hot gofer who did nothing to stifle his erotic moans. I was surprised by how quickly he came as he was usually a very long lasting lover.
I swallowed every drop of the torrent of cum that erupted from his cock. He later told me that he had been on cum restriction which is why he had such a big load. He added that the pleasure I gave him was well worth the punishment Brock would give him when he admitted his failure. As soon as he was finished feeding me his seed we switched positions. I was once again on my feet with him on his knees. He sucked me liked he was possessed. When I came my knees felt so weak that I was sure I would fall to the ground. Somehow I managed to stay on my feet until he drank down every drop I could muster. Then I went to my knees and we kissed sloppily for several minutes. After that he got dressed and told me that he had a job to do.
I was left alone in the hallway for what I guessed to be about another half hour. I was surprised that it was Eric that came to get me instead of Colin. Once I saw the scene in the room he had to practically drag me to the table. Standing at attention at the left side of the council table fully naked were the five members of the brotherhood I was closest too: Kyle Troy Dom Craig and Dante. They stood staring straight ahead motionless.
Pledge the council has decided that before we deal with your punishment you will be required to witness the effect of your actions upon your friends Brock said sternly.
Loosing control I blurted out Please no! They bear no responsibility for my actions. They do not deserve to be punished!
Silence pledge! Brock roared as he stepped up to within a foot of me.
I felt as if fire was shooting from his eyes. My impulse had likely made things worse for both my self and my friends.
John everything you have done since returning to campus has reflected poorly upon you and your mentors. The council is growing convinced that what we thought about you and your future is wrong. We fear that you had has fooled somehow. Now you wish us to absolve those who freely took responsibility for you from their failure? Are you saying that you understand nothing of the brotherhood?
No sir. It is my understanding of the loyalty one has to his brothers that compelled me to impetuously protest my brother s innocence.
Then you must understand why they stand before the council? Your sponsors and mentors Brothers Kyle Troy and Dominic pledged their reputations when they offered you as a pledge. Brother Craig devised and administered the tests that were the proof we took of your worthiness. Brother Dante certified your knowledge. None of them thought to even remind you of your responsibility this weekend.
I understand all of this but still I must insist that the fault is all mine.
I would expect that of you and I think that you will see that your friends accept their own failure as well as you. Now stand silent while the council examines your brothers.
I did as I was told even though I wanted to drop to my knees and beg them to lay all the blame upon me. Troy was the first to be questioned. His inquisitor was Stan Graham a senior I had talked with on occasion but did not know well. He and Aaron were the only members of the council I had not had sex with up to that point. Surprisingly I had not even been in a group situation with Stan. I had at least seen Aaron fuck one of my pledge mates while I was being fucked by another council member.
Brother Troy can you explain why a pledge that you swore was worthy of inclusion in the brotherhood failed to follow such a basic rite? Stan asked in a far too pompous tone.
His failure is my failure. I should have made certain that he was reminded of such an important date Troy said in a much rehearsed sounding manner.
Suddenly I realized that I was watching a scripted ritual. I don t know why but that knowledge comforted me. I was certain that if they were going to kick me out they would not bother giving me an elaborate lesson.
Then you admit to failing the brotherhood?
To my everlasting regret I admit to my failure and offer myself for retribution so that I may learn never to make such an error again.
I almost laughed at the line. It was very unlike Troy.
Bend and place your palms upon the table brother Troy Brock said solemnly.
I steeled myself to watch my friend take punishment he did not deserve because of my actions. But no paddle was produced. Instead Kyle was called forward. After a similar exchange as the one between Troy and Stan this time between Aaron and Kyle my roommate was ordered to take a position next to Troy. In turn each of my friends accepted their failure to a different council member and was told to assume a position bending over the table.
Pledge you have honorable and loyal friends. Each of them in private defended you and now in public they each have acknowledged their failure. Do you wish to say anything to your good and loyal brothers who stand ready to receive punishment that is due to your actions? Brock asked formally.
Brothers I am humbled by your standing by me and beyond grateful for all you have done for me. I regret that I have failed you and placed you in this position. I know in my failure that I dishonor you and all my brothers.
I had summoned the words up from one of the brotherhood texts I had studied. It was not part of a pledge ritual. It was from a recounting of an incident in the early days of the brotherhood. The speaker was the second president of AOK and it was entitled the atonement that saved the brotherhood. I hoped it would save my membership.
Your words are well spoken John. That you have chosen to use words from a text that we do not test pledges on shows that you do hold the lore of the brotherhood dear. We can only hope that you speak the words with as much sincerity as did the first speaker Brock said with an unmistakable hint of joy in his voice.
Do you recall what happened next in the story? Eric who was standing next to Brock asked me.
Yes he asked to be allowed to show his love and respect to the wronged brothers I answered quickly.
I think such a gesture would be appropriate now John Eric added.
Brock nodded his agreement and Eric instructed my friends to stand and turn around. I struggled to recall the exact words of the ritual as I stepped in front of Craig. He gave me a slight smile as encouragement as I knelt before.
My brother it is with shame and humility that I kneel before you. Along with my sorrow over failing you I feel a deep love. I asked your permission to show you my devotion by touching you intimately.
Craig nodded his permission and I bent to the floor and kissed the top of each of his feet. When I rose back up I kissed his thighs and balls. Then I took his soft cock into my mouth and held it for a few seconds. When I released his cock I slid back so he could turn and resume the position. When he was again bent over I spread his ass cheeks and placed a soft kiss on his asshole. I repeated the ritual with the other four. The only difference being that by the time I got to the fourth one Troy his cock was fully erect as was the last one Kyle. When I returned to my place Brock began to speak in a ritualized style.
It is now time for the lesson of punishment to begin. As the marks you receive heal so too will the rift between you and the brotherhood. As your bodies will not be permanently damaged so too your relationship with your brothers will not suffer prolonged disrepair.
His words hung in the air. I wondered what form the punishment would take.
It is now time that the council unfettered themselves to show solidarity with the brothers who are before us.
The council removed their robes. As they wore nothing underneath they stood as naked as my friends and I.
It is proper that we are exposed and vulnerable so that all know that what happens is voluntary and not forced upon anyone. It is the freedom to choose to accept the judgment of the council that makes the brotherhood strong.
The side door opened and Colin entered carry and oblong box. He too was naked.
I deliver unto you the sacred tools used by generations of brothers He said as he set the box upon the council table.
He opened the box and began to lay various things upon the table. As I expected there were a couple of old fashion frat house paddles. There was also a riding crop and something that resembled a cat-o-nine tales. There were other things too but I could not figure their purpose. I soon learned what one of the odd devices did.
Eric took a small box from inside the larger case and went to the five bent over brothers. He took rings from the box which were place around my friends ball sacks. Then a weight was added to each which caused their balls to be pulled down. Though it looked uncomfortable none of them acted as if it was causing great pain. The little slap Eric gave each of their sacks no doubt changed that. Then Aaron took the riding crop from the table. He walked over to me and ran it up the inside of my leg. He didn t stop until the crop was pressed lightly against my balls. My heart was racing when Stan joined us by moving behind me. The feeling was erotic and sexual as opposed to threatening.
Stan pressed his body to mine as he slipped his arms around chest and pressed his palms to my nipples. His height was so well matched to mine that his hardening cock naturally nested in my ass crack. I felt his breath on my neck as he moved his mouth to my ear. Suddenly his fingers dug into my tiny nipples.
Do you see what you have done to your friends pledge? He snarled in my ear.
I took the question as rhetorical and left it unanswered. Aaron pulled the crop across my balls and away from my body. Then he lifted it up to my face. The bizarre scene was as exciting as it was frightening. I felt as if anything could happen. I knew neither I nor my five friends would resist any action the council took. The brotherhood meant too much to all of us.
Those who bring such shame upon their brothers should also know what it is to inflict the pain of retribution Calvin said as he walked up next to Aaron.
I searched my mind for the ritual the line came from. I knew I had read it but it was obviously an obscure rite that had not made a full impression on me. When Calvin grabbed my cock I realized I was fully erect. He squeezed and pulled it as he continued to recite the vaguely familiar words.
The excitement of wielding the instrument already fills you. Laying it upon their exquisite taut asses will send you to places beyond your imagination.
Why was he doing this I thought as I felt Stan press his cock harder into my ass crack. Then he began to dry hump me like a dog might hump an inanimate object. It was not at all sexual it was meant to degrade. But I didn t care what they did to me. It was what Calvin was suggesting I do to my friends that disturbed me.
Well take it pledge. I can see that you desire to wield the power of retribution.
I remembered the passage and instantly knew what my answer must be.
I have no such desire or right my brother. If they need such punishment to set them on the path of redemption within the brotherhood then it must be given by one who is pure of intent.
My three tormentors stepped away and Randy Aber moved in front of me.
Do you question the council and the words of the rite? He asked in his amazing accent.
I do not brother. I question only my own worth and place within the brotherhood.
Randy took my still hard cock in his hand and gently stroked me.
Your worth must certainly be tested again to determine if you still have a place in the brotherhood.
The gentleness of his touch and the sexiness of his voice made me wish we were together for a much different reason. The fun loving French Canadian was showing a side I never imagined he possessed however. It was a side I was not happy to know.
You spoke of intent along with worth. Were you saying that you would see something more in wielding the crop than the delivery of a lesson? Randy continued.
We were off the script and I was not sure how to answer his question. I looked over to my five friends who remained in position seemingly oblivious to the proceedings. Then I looked to Brock whose stern gaze offered no comfort or answers. I returned my attention to Randy who was still gently stroking my cock as he awaited my answer.
I could not deliver punishment to others that is the result of my own actions. Therefore the only thing I could derive from laying the crop or anything to their bare flesh would the erotic thrill associated with the action I answered as honestly as I could.
Randy gave my cock an almost playful tug and stepped away yielding his place to Eric and Joe.
You will not deliver the lesson but you will witness it while sucking my cock Joe said calmly and then ordered me to my knees.
It was clear that he felt no sexual excitement over the proceedings. His cock was completely flaccid and seemed smaller than I remembered. My cock was still hard and throbbing between my legs. My heart was racing and I felt beads of sweat on my forehead. I was actually excited at thought of being made to suck Joe s cock even as Eric took the crop and moved toward my friends. I took the soft dick into my mouth and began to suck it. I had always found sucking on a soft cock a particularly erotic experience. I guess it is the rarity of opportunity that makes it so enticing. Usually by the time you get naked with a guy his cock is hard and ready. It is only those times when you can wake a lover with a blow job or your partner has already had a couple of orgasms that you get the chance to hold a completely soft cock in your mouth.
Joe apparently was different than most guys. He either had tremendous control or was so turned off by the scene that even oral stimulation had no effect on his cock. His member remained flaccid in my mouth as the sound of the crop hitting bare flesh exploded in my ears. I had been positioned so that even with my mouth full of cock I could see the punishment clearly. It was Troy s ass that was being assaulted by Eric. My mentor was far braver and strong willed than I knew. He did not cry out at any of the six firm strokes of the crop. Unintentionally the shock of seeing Troy s ass reddened so cruelly had caused me to stop sucking on Joe s dick.
Don t stop sucking until I tell you to pledge! He demanded and I went back to trying to coax some growth from his dick.
Eric handed the crop to Randy who administered the blows to Dante s ass. I was certain that the sexy sub was enjoying every hard whack even though he cried out as if he hated the experience. By the time the crop was handed off to Aaron and the assault on Dom s very sexy hairy ass was underway Joe s cock had finally begun to grow in my mouth. Dom was not has tough or brave as Troy nor were his cries as plaintive as Dante s had been. I was sweating and working hard to pleasure Joe and his fully erect cock as I watched the crop pass to Calvin. Watching Kyle take his whacks was the hardest of all. Though my sweet friend made no sound I was certain that tears were welling in his eyes. I was well aware that Kyle took no pleasure in either side of physical pain.
When Stan took the crop to Craig s ass it seemed he was delivering much harder hits than the others. I wondered if he knew of Craig s secret submissive nature and wanted to truly punish. Whatever the reason it worked Craig s cries were the loudest and most painful sounding. Oddly as the last of Craig s six hits was delivered Joe s cock erupted in my mouth. He quickly pulled his cock from my mouth as I swallowed the small amount of cum he fed me. His face showed no hint that he had felt any pleasure. I hoped that my friend s punishment was at an end. Each of them bore marks on their ass that would take some weeks to fade. They also had endured having their balls weighted for nearly an hour. I also wondered how much physical punishment I would receive considering what they got because of my actions.
Brothers stand and face the pledge Brock said in his officious tone.
My five friends slowly straightened up and turned to face me. As they did so they had to keep their legs spread due to the devices on their nut sacks. All of their faces were red and their bodies aglow with sweat. I had expected to see a harsh glare of anger in their eyes. But all I saw in their faces was warmth. I wanted them to hate me for what I had caused them to endure. But it was clear that they all still loved me as they had before.
Pledge look upon the faces of your mentors and friends. They all accepted their share of the blame for your failure. I see in their faces that they were proud to do so. I now release them from further correction.
The other council members went to the line and carefully removed the devices from their balls as Brock continued.
Brothers you have well honored the brotherhood by willingly accepting the act of correction. Your honorable action leads me to know that I too must admit my part in the pledges failure. Like you I too call myself his friend. Though I have no official responsibility as one close to him I should have seen the possibility of his failure. As you know and the pledge must learn it is only in admitting our own failures that we learn and grow in the brotherhood.
The room fell silent. I was left to ponder the words I had just heard. I squirmed a bit in place as I contemplated that Brock might actually submit himself for the same punishment that the others had endured. I soon learned that was not the intent of his admission.
Now brothers as you remain responsible for the pledge the council has decided that it will fall upon you to take corrective action upon him.
Dante and Kyle looked horrified at the thought of having to take the crop to my ass. Dom Troy and Craig all had blank expressions as if they were not sure what Brock s words meant. I was almost positive what the words meant and had no problem accepting from them what they had accepted because of me. However I was not voluntarily made to bend over the table. Colin rolled an odd looking piece of furniture to the middle of the room. Calvin and Eric took hold of my arms and led me over to what I can only describe as a medieval torture device.
My head was strapped into place with my face down in an opening. My ankles and wrists were then firmly locked in placed. As I seemed to have an unending erection I was glad of the opening that allowed my cock and balls freedom. That joy was somewhat diminished when a device similar to the ones my friends had worn was attached to my ball sack. Though there wasn t much pain involved it was extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if my balls were being constantly tugged on. That added to the discomfort of having my legs widely spread and the feeling of being hung by my wrists I knew would soon cause pain. Lastly to insure that I could not move at all a wide leather belt was placed just above my waist and around the small of my back. It was cinched unnecessarily tight adding to my discomfort.
I was scared and had to fight the urge to protest and demand my release. I knew that if I did so my request would be granted. However I also knew that I would be immediately escorted out of the house and banned from the brotherhood. All brothers had freedom of choice. But the exercise of that freedom carried consequences. Even knowing that my brothers would soon be inflicting pain upon me and that I might well carry the scars of that day all my life I wanted to be in the brotherhood more at that moment than ever before. I do not know what it would have taken for me to give that up.
Each of you will now give to the pledge the same that was given to you due to his failure Brock continued.
I quickly did the math in my head and shuddered internally at the thought of receiving thirty whacks with the crop. I was certain that even though it would be my friends wielding the crop they would not be able to show mercy. My thoughts were confirmed by Brock s next words.
Remember my brothers you are expected to deliver the punishment as forcefully as it was delivered to you. This shall be a test of your worthiness as well as a corrective action for the pledge.
Though the words were delivered calmly in an even tempered manner it was clear that my friends were being threatened with additional punishment if they did not carry out the task properly. Even though I knew I might carry the scars of the beating for rest of my life I hoped none of them would show the slightest hesitation.
The whacks will be delivered in sequence with each of you taking a turn until all of you have delivered the requisite six whacks. Pledge it is the councils hope that when the sting of thirty whacks tears into your flesh your being will be cleansed and your bond to your brothers cemented. I assure you that we do not do this for pleasure but out of love of the brotherhood and desire to make all of our brother s perfect in their duty.
I could not see Brock s face but could hear what seemed like the tone of man with tears in his eyes. I felt an odd combination of emotions. To be certain there was fear. I had never known the pain I imagined I was about to receive. But it was not the pain alone I feared. I was concerned about how I would react to that pain. I also felt extremely sexually aroused. I wondered if any of my friends also felt that way as I knew I would be aroused if I was wielding the crop. I also felt the complete sense of camaraderie and belonging that the chronicles spoke of and many brothers and told me about. Allowing that crop to hit my ass meant to me that I was without reservation AOK.
Brothers before delivering your first whack you shall speak to your friend. He needs to know that you punish out of love not vengeance. Tell him your feelings so that he may learn more than the sting of correction.
I recalled the ritual Brock was working from and knew I would soon feel the sting he referred to as the time for talk was near an end. I felt a body near mine. Unable to turn I had to wait for a voice to tell me who had been chosen to go first. I had forgotten that everyone in the room was naked until I felt his bare flesh press against me as his hot breath teased the back of my neck.
John you are truly my brother and have been since before you made the pledge. I love you and want only your success Troy said in a strong clear voice.
Though I had no doubt about his sincerity I knew his words were aimed as much at the council as they were me. He felt as great a need for redemption as I did. I wasn t sure inflicting pain upon me and marking my body would provide that redemption to him.
I regret that I failed you as guide. I will not fail in my duty to correct your failure. I do this to make you a better brother out of love for the brotherhood He finished in an almost defiant tone.
He spared no energy when he stepped back and let loose a hard whack to my ass with the crop. I nearly bit my tongue in my effort to remain silent. Troy made no attempt to withhold his gasp that conveyed both exertion and surprise at what he had done. I also heard a few audible sighs. I assumed those were from council members relieved that my close friend had not spared my ass and placed himself in additional jeopardy. Almost as soon as the blow was done another body pressed against mine. Dom rubbed his semi-erect cock against the back of my leg as he spoke.
John I too love you as both brother and dear friend. We have shared a special bond. That bond and touching you so intimately as always raises arousal in me.
Even though my ass stung the idea that he felt arousal merely at being naked with me brought a smile to my face. Oddly I hoped that he might lay the crop even harder to my ass. Since there was no secret in the brotherhood about the connection between Dom and me it was important he prove himself by giving his all.
I say this because I do not wish you to believe that my arousal results from what I must do to help right your course He added with obvious sorrow.
When he kissed the back of my neck I could feel the tears on his cheek. When he laid the crop to my ass I could feel my skin break. I was surprised when I felt his lips on my wound before the next of my friends pressed his body against mine. Craig spoke of his admiration and affection for me before adding his hard whack. Kyle was panting and made no attempt to hide his tears as he spoke to me with his soft fat cock pressed into the crack of my ass.
John I love you and always will. You already know how much I love the brotherhood and respect its laws. It is only that love and respect that enables me to do what I now must.
Though his whack was clearly tempered by his feelings for me I hoped the council would not notice or at least would make allowances for the circumstances. The last to speak to me was Dante. As his smooth athletic body pressed against mine I could feel his trembling. I thought it cruel to make him one of the punishers. I wondered if the council knew of our relationship if they would have inflicted such a punishment on him. While he could mete out unforgiving blows to opponents on the gridiron the idea of taking a crop to the ass of his Dom was certainly an antithesis to Dante s whole being.
He hugged me and whispered I love you Sir please forgive your slave doing his duty to the brotherhood.
Then he leaned out and spoke in the biggest voice he could muster John as the others so well said our wish is to help redeem you so that you may be our brother. As your failure is our failure we shall all suffer this day with you.
The blow he delivered so stunned me that I cried out for the first time. Later after I gave him a rather cruel beating at his insistence he explained that he feared the council would see any lack of intensity as a failure in him. They knew he was submissive and no doubt wanted proof of his worth. However at the time I had no chance to contemplate my subs motives. The rest of the twenty-five whacks came in succession with only a long enough pause between them to exchange the crop and move into position. I did not and still do not know what reaction was expected or desired from me. Nothing was ever said about my wailing and crying during the second half of my beating or the spontaneous ejaculation that occurred in the middle of the ordeal.
Even as agony filled my body and my flesh was torn open each blow made me feel closer to my brothers and more a part of the brotherhood. When the thirtieth whack fell upon my aching cut and bleeding ass an odd calm fell over me. I knew that I was and forever would be a part of the brotherhood. The next hour is today somewhat of a blur. I know that each of my friends loving kissed my badly damaged flesh and left the room. I do not recall the words that the council members said as they offered praise and acknowledgement that I was cleansed. I think it was Brock that removed the weight that I no longer felt hanging from my balls.
I remember Doctor Burton coming in and examining my ass. I even remember the stinging agony of having my wounds cleaned and dressed. I do not remember being unleashed from the device or being helped to Brock s room. I know Colin kissed me and told me that he would always be my servant though I had no idea why he said such a thing. My memory is clearer of later that night. As I lay face down in Brock s bed still naked he gently caressed my back. He also cried as he told me how sorry he was that he was part of such cruelty.
Brock you only did what duty demanded. I hold no ill thoughts toward you or any participants I protested.
I was not sure why but as I tried to explain to him I was glad for the experience. It is what truly made me AOK. It is also made me stronger than I ever imagined I could be. I believe without that day I would never have fulfilled the promise Adam saw in me. It also filled me with a sense of humility that I could not have learned otherwise. Even now when I lay my hand upon another in sexual play it comes to mind and my actions are tempered. It is only for pleasure that I spank never in cruelty. If ever I forget any of this or that day or my bond to my brothers all I need do is touch my fingers to the slightly raised scars I carry with me to remember.
You are amazing John He said after a time. I believe you may be the finest ever to enter the brotherhood. All that will come to you is well deserved.
What do you mean Brock? I asked still dazed from the ordeal and confused by his reference.
It is even more amazing that you do not realize what is happening to you. You have been to Adam s island and seen the extent of his wealth. You must also have seen at least a hint of his power. He was not much different than you when he came to the brotherhood. There are special people who have special destinies. Adam has proven he is one of those people. I know how special he thinks you are and I am sure he will do everything he can to help you realize your destiny. By the way I agree with him.
I was so overwhelmed that I could barely speak to thank him for his praise. I silently vowed to prove myself worthy of his confidence in me. Then we kissed. It started as a tender almost friendly kind of kiss no tongue just softly brushing our lips together. When his tongue touched my lips I happily parted my lips and let him slip his tongue into my mouth. His tongue met mine and soon our tongues were dancing between our open mouths. Due to the condition of my ass I was forced to remain on my belly even as my cock grew hard and pressed into the bed. Brock was snuggled up next to me and I could feel his huge erection pressed into my hip. I felt an incredible closeness that I hoped I would never lose. Unfortunately my very sore ass kept me from shifting into a more intimate position.
I guesstimated that we had been making out for twenty minutes of so when we were interrupted by a knock on the door. Brock jumped up and unashamedly pulled the door wide open with his cock fully erect. I turned to see Adam standing there smiling. He stepped into the room and Brock asked if he wished to be alone with me.
No not at all. I would like to talk to you both. But I think perhaps I am a bit overdressed Adam replied in a cheery tone.
Brock shut the door as Adam began to strip off his clothes. I watched silently as my handsome mentor shed his clothes and revealed his amazing body. I could not help letting my eyes wander over his toned and tanned flesh. There was an odd contrast between Brock s huge erect cock and Adam s completely flaccid member as the pair approached the bed.
So John I understand that there were some issues worked out today Adam said coolly as he sat on the bed next to me while Brock stood by his side.
Yes sir I am sorry to say that I failed to keep a required appointment and needed to experience the ritual of correction I quickly replied.
Even though I do know all the details I am glad you are so forth coming and hope the sincerity I hear is genuine.
Adam I assure you that I am sincere in my acknowledgement of my mistake and the acceptance of the required lesson. I truly appreciate the love my brothers showed me I said truthfully.
He smiled and told me he was glad that I learned so well as he reached over and began fondling Brock s cock.
I have big plans for you and have invested a lot of faith in you. That is why I insisted that you be tested so harshly. That you did not deny your need for correction is a testament to your character John. I am more certain than ever that my faith in you is well placed. I have decided that I want you to work with Brock this summer at my European offices. This will be Brock s second summer with me and I expect you to take full advantage of this opportunity to learn all he can teach you.
I will Adam. Thank you for both your mentorship and the assignment of working with such an amazing man for the summer.
I was about to burst with excitement over the prospect of spending the summer in Europe with Brock. Of course I hoped that Adam would also be a part of my summer. It felt good when Adam leaned down and kissed me on the cheek. By that time he was jerking Brock off in earnest. It was fascinating watching his hand slide up and down that huge cock. So much so that I didn t realize how close Brock was to orgasm or where his dick was pointing. Suddenly his cock began to spew huge spurts of cum onto my face. He stepped even closer as Adam continued to jerk and milk his seed onto me. I wondered how long he had been saving up his load as I lay there with my face covered in his warm sticky cum.
To my surprise when he finished cumming Brock got on his knees and began to lick his cum from my face. Adam looked on smiling and caressing Brock s head as he cleaned me. My own cock was very uncomfortably smashed between my body and the bed when Brock s cleaning turned into a wild passionate kiss. However the kiss didn t last long. Adam pulled Brock s face to his crotch and the frat president took our mentors cock into his mouth. I could do nothing but watch as Brock deep throated Adam s delicious tool. As if it was an afterthought Adam began to gently massage my back making me a small part of the action. Still it was one of the few times in my life that I felt strong jealousy.
I wanted his hot cock in my mouth. I wanted to be the one about to receive his creamy seed. I felt him tense up as his orgasm approached. Brock must have felt it also because I could see that he was increasing his efforts to pleasure Adam. Familiar moans began to fill the room. My own need caused me to begin to hump the mattress as Adam cried out. When Brock had taken all of our mentors cum he let Adam s shrinking cock slip from his mouth. He winked at me as he licked his lips happily. After another minute Adam squeezed my shoulder.
So John are you up to giving me a good fucking or would you prefer to keep humping the mattress? He asked calmly.
Brock remained on his knees as Adam moved so I could slide off the bed. The only way I was going to be able to fuck anyone at that point was standing on my feet with my partner bent over the bed. To my surprise my friends had something else in mind before I got to fuck Adam. I found myself with both of them at my feet. As one licked and sucked my cock the other licked and sucked my balls. They were driving my crazy keeping me close to the edge as they moved their lips and tongues all over my genitals. They made me endure the torture of intense sexual stimulation for what I guessed to be around a half an hour.
At that point Adam abruptly told Brock to prepare his ass. After Brock thoroughly lubed up Adam s rectum he sat on the bed as instructed. Adam bent over placing a hand on either side of Brock. After telling me he was ready for a good hard ride Adam began sucking Brock s big hard cock. Though I would have preferred to be the one getting sucked I wanted to give Adam exactly what he wanted. I moved behind him and guided my cock to his well lubed asshole. He didn t even break rhythm sucking Brock s cock when I pushed my cock into his body. He pushed his ass back capturing my entire shaft. I grabbed his hips as he ground back into me stretching his tight anus wide open.
He stopped sucking Brock s cock just long enough to cry out Come on John fuck me hard!
I immediately complied with his desire. I pulled back until I was barely inside him before slamming back into him. I began to ride him hard each time going ball deep into his rectal cavity. He rocked his body with mine as he continued sucking Brock s cock. The fat meat almost completed muted what I am sure would have been loud moans and gasps. There was nothing to mute my panted moans of bliss as I forcefully pounded his cunt-like asshole. It wasn t long before I felt his rectal walls begin to grip my invading cock. His body started jerking as I was forced to work harder to keep driving my cock in and out of his tightening ass. I was amazed that he was able to keep blowing Brock during the frenzied build up to what turned out to be an almost simultaneous orgasm for us.
I drove deep into him as the first splashes of my cum shot into his body. My fingers dug into his flesh as his ass became a vice holding my spasming cock. I raised my head and roared as I felt his body convulse in orgasm while I was still I the throws of my own climax. When I opened my eyes I saw the scratches I had left on his body and the small puddle of cum on Brock s belly. He had cum also making it a true threesome. Though I couldn t see it I knew that there was a puddle of Adam s cum either on the side of the bed or the floor. When his rectal muscles relaxed and I could pull my cock from his ass I dropped down to my knees.
I kissed his ass passionately as I encouraged him to turn around. He stood and turned to face me putting his half erect puffy cock in my face. I devoured the chubby morsel. He caressed my head as I happily sucked his soft cock. Though he was spent for the moment we were both heavily into the intimacy. I might well have gone on sucking that sweet soft meat for a long while had there not been another knock on the door. This time it was Doc Burton who had come to check on the condition of my ass. After Allan asked the others to give us a few minutes he had me lay on the bed while he removed the bandages.
I guess you are feeling ok John. Seemed like a pretty wild scene I interrupted He said in a put on doctor voice.
I am a fast healer Doc I joked.
Not so fast as you think He snapped back.
As if to emphasize his words he ran his fingers over my abused buttocks.
Fuck! I yelped. Is that really necessary Allan?
Just wanted to make sure you knew that you had a lot of healing to do. I am going to have to make some arrangements regarding your exams this week. You will have to take them standing. We need to come up with some excuse about an accident or something. The true cause might be an issue.
Yeah I guess but as I am sure you know this was deserved.
Honestly John I think it was too damn brutal. But I know the rules and I am glad the council chose this route and you took it so well. It would have been a fucking mistake to kick you out.
Thanks Allan. But I want you to know that in some weird way I think that the whole experience was good for me.
I think we need to have a couple more of our therapy session before you leave for the summer.
Ok with me but I have been confined to the house for the final two weeks of the semester. After that I have to get home so I can see my parents before heading off for my summer internship.
I guess Adam will keep you pretty busy. No problem I have to come by to check on your ass anyway. We can talk while I look at your sexy butt. One thing I want to make sure you have thought about though your ass is going to carry marks for a long time maybe forever He added as he gently put a new bandaged on my ass.
Yeah I kind of figured I was permanently marked I said not adding my thoughts on it being a badge of honor.
I could tell that Allan had some negative thoughts about the beating I was given. I wondered why and how many others he had witnessed. I am not sure what gave me the nerve to ask or why he was so forthright.
A pledge mate of mine screwed up pretty badly and tried to withstand the cleansing He said sadly. Fuck the way he screamed I thought they were killing him.
They made you listen? I asked incredulously.
And watch. Truth is I should have been given the same treatment in my opinion. It was the last year of an experiment with pledge partners. He was mine. The idea was that we helped each other and were responsible for each other.
I think I understand. I read about the experiment when I was studying brotherhood history. What I read made it sound like a total failure.
I never really understood the reasoning behind declaring it a failure. But I do know more guys didn t make it through pledge semester in those five years than any other time. Anyway we were partners and I was supposed to get any punishment he got. Fuck I begged the council to tie me up next to him. I got a couple of whacks with a belt in private and great praise for being such a loyal and true brother. But it wasn t really the council that saved my ass. Billy had insisted that it was all his fault and he wanted to take all the punishment. Thinking it was noble and being very sadistic the council agreed with Billy. Sadly he didn t even make it through his own half of the punishment. He ended up bloodied and scared and still got kicked out.
Wow no shit?
Yeah. I was going to quit too but Billy insisted I not be an idiot and blow my future. His insistence is the only reason I am a doctor John.
Sounds like he was a great friend. Also sounds like he is AOK material to me.
Yeah others thought so too. When Adam became chancellor he offered to reinstate Billy. But things changed too much with time. What the brotherhood might have given him was already lost at that point. He was set in his life wife three kids a house in the burbs with a picket fence and so on.
So no more cock?
Allan laughed in a sad kind of way.
I don t think he has been with a guy since he transferred to a different school the next year. I tried to stay friends through letters and even visit him. But he seemed to want to let it all go.
Was there more to it than just a lost friend? I asked being far too bold in my curiosity.
Hell I know everything about you you may as well know this about me. We were friends since grade school. He was my first love and lover of either sex. It wasn t until we came here that either of us was with anyone else sexually. We went wild once in college both together and separately. Mostly with other guys in groups but occasionally girls were involved. But through all of our wild times we kept our bond with each other. That day in council chamber changed Billy. I hope your experience doesn t change you in the same way.
Don t worry Allan I passed the test. It was a positive for me. I am sorry about your friend but you don t need to worry about me.
Fuck I guess Adam is right. You are on a different plane that most of us. I will see you tomorrow He said and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
I realized that Allan carried a lot of pain from the loss of what he had with Billy. I decided to someday ask him if what he gained from the brotherhood was worth the loss. Adam came back briefly to say goodbye and tell me that he would be back for my graduation to the full brotherhood. After Adam left Brock offered the hospitality of his bed for as much of my two week incarceration as I choose. He also made it clear that I was under no obligation to sleep with. Though the condition of my ass made cuddling nearly impossible as I had to remain on my stomach it felt good having my bear-like friend s body next to me that night as I fell asleep.
