Part 22 - Castlehyde Estate

 

A whirlwind of activity took place in the coming weeks, Moham had Harry and Conrad meet with his tailor who made custom wedding suits for them. Conrad met with Harry's family and his brother Alfie agreed to be his best man likewise Charlie was to be Conrad's. The best news Conrad received was his grandparents were also coming over after some persuasion by his mother Jodie, they were not overly happy about Conrad marrying a man but for the sake of their grandson and partly through being instructed by Jodie they would attend. Harry and Conrad walked through Kensington having visited Conrad's auntie and cousin Max, who was delighted to see Harry again. They slowly walked towards the coffee shop and meet up with Dexter to invite him to the wedding. Adam would be in tow since he had been looking after Dexter and keeping a close eye on him supporting him as a friend. Adam had also offered him a job at the office in Alton on the instruction of Moham and Simon with Carrington's agreement. Dexter was unsure about taking the job since it was a long train journey but Adam insisted and offered him lodging at his house on Hibiscus drive. He accepted on the condition that if he didn't like it he could leave which made Adam laugh. On the plus side it meant being closer to Conrad and Harry, they had become good friends apart from the sex aspect. Adam had let slip they were marrying and this was adding to Dexter's indecisiveness, the thought that this could lead to the end of their sexual antics played on his mind. Happy that at least he had a get out plan to use if needed he was looking forward to seeing them. Conrad he found very enticing to fuck and Harry, well he made Dexter laugh, he only had to open his mouth and mutter a few words before Harry just crumbled to his knees in orgasm at his voice and got so aroused when Dexter spoke dirty whilst banging his cute arse. Adam placed the coffee down in front of Dexter who was looking a little anxious when Conrad and Harry burst in to the coffee shop laughing and chatting. Conrad and Harry sat down and Dexter could already see Harry lost in sexual thought making him laugh loudly. Dexter agreed to attend the wedding then informed them he would be lodging with Adam and Jamal working at the office. Harry just sat there with a grin so big on his face and in a trance like state until Adam poked him in the side.

"He won't be working with you that is for sure!" Adam exclaimed bringing Harry back in the room.
Harry chuckled "Keep him well away from me" he said to Adam with his gazed fixed on Dexter.
"You don't mind me living so close?" Dexter asked looking at Conrad and Harry.
Conrad chuckled "Not at all, means I can get a break from keeping him sexually happy".
Harry shot Conrad a look and opened his mouth "I am not that bad" he protested.
Conrad, Dexter and Adam all replied in unison "Yes you are!" then burst out laughing.

By the time they left Dexter felt the decision was right, a decent job and he could finally get a bank account that his parents didn't know about so he could get his £50k at last. And the bonus of Conrad and Harry on tap so to speak.

Simon had managed to slip away for three days to visit Sean and persuaded him and the studio he was under contract with to release him for four days to attend the wedding. All he told Sean was that Conrad and Harry were marrying and he wanted Sean to attend as his plus one, he didn't need asking twice and saw this a big step forward in them becoming a couple. Simon brought the ticket for him before leaving San Fran explaining he would make all the arrangements, all Sean had to do was get on the plane.

Charlie came out of the morning meeting with Dave and the rest of the team. The ship had developed a bearing shaft problem with the main engine and required fixing over a two week period and everyone apart from the engineers had been granted two weeks shore leave. They were also due to return to Portsmouth a day earlier than planned, this meant Charlie could get back home on Thursday before the rest of his family arrived.

The Wednesday before the wedding Conrad was laid on the sofa in Moham's suite at the Mandarin Oriental, a plate on food on his stomach that he was munching through making the most of Moham's hospitality after his walk through Hyde Park. Harry had moved out of the apartment Moham had give him and was renting it out already, he was finalising some work with Moham before coming back to the hotel and heading back to Hampshire. Dressed only in his underwear Conrad turned his head towards the opening door with Moham and Harry entering the room, both rolled their eyes laughing at the sight of a very chilled out Conrad. After a quick kiss Harry went off for a shower and Conrad sat up patting the seat next to him indicating for Moham to sit down.

Conrad put his plate down "I want to know Moham. Joshua where is he?" he asked looking at him.
Moham sat back contemplating for a moment "You really want to know?" he asked glancing at Conrad.
"Yes" Conrad replied, "Well at least that he is still alive" he tried to make light of it.
Moham smirked "What do you take me for Conrad?" he asked, "Second thoughts don't answer that".
"He is alive and well" Moham followed up, "Just out of everyone's way".
"Where though?" Conrad asked sitting back on the sofa eating a chip, "Want one?" he asked.
"No" Moham replied laughing, "He is in Ireland on a country estate" he confirmed.
Conrad was sceptical about his answer "Really?" he asked emphasising the word.
"Yes, truthfully" Moham replied, "he is in the hands of a therapist".
Conrad looked at him a little unconvinced "Can I at least see him, know he is alive" he pleaded.
Moham looked perplexed for a moment "Okay let me see if I can sort it out with Tanner".

He wasn't wrong, Joshua had spent several months on the estate now. Under the strong influence of a wealthy American man called Tanner, he loved training racing horses in the US but got bored of it, now he had found a new love in training the unruly Joshua. Locked in this bedroom until he started behaving, stopped shouting and trying to assault the two men assigned to look after him but failing miserably and unable to coordinate his body. Joshua had no idea where he was and all he could see was countryside that went on as far as the eye could see. Losing count of how many days had passed and unable to think clearly in any capacity he was still confused by how he ended up here. Having received a message from Moham that took Tanner by surprise, he walked in behind the two burly guards and looked around the room.

"You need to clean your room then I will come back and talk to you" Tanner said turning to leave.
"Fuck you, you can't keep me here" Joshua called after him angrily.
Tanner looked over his shoulder "No dinner for him" he said to Aaron the blond guard.
"You can't do this" Joshua screamed at Tanner falling on deaf ears as the door closed and locked.

Tanner smirked walking along the hallway to the sweeping staircase that lead to the lower floor of the estate house. At 45 Tanner was tall and lanky with dark long hair tied in a pony tail, he had settled down in Ireland after buying the estate for the privacy and attended several of Simon's parties. He knew Moham and Simon well through contacts and Moham knew that Tanner was looking for a new project so sent him Joshua as a present. Joshua sat back on the bed fuming, he could smell himself having not washed in some form of a cloudy protest since waking up here. Joshua guessing he must have been here over a month since he had no recollection, the drug being put in his food knocked him out after breakfast and again after dinner. He knew he was being drugged to keep him quiet with no idea where it was in the food, it was either eat or go hungry. He looked over at his breakfast that was untouched and got off the bed walking towards the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror, there was no denying that even he saw a very disturbed person looking back at him. Conrad had been the only person he really felt some deep connection with, his desire to own and control Conrad lead to him behaving like this. He thought about Charlie and how good a friend he had been, there was heavy regret around what he tried to do with Conrad. In some way he was sure that had he gone down a different loving route he would be in a happy relationship with Conrad. The bruises had faded and his nose had almost fixed itself, still he experienced a little pain every now and then. Worst, he was unable to figure out who the guy was that brought him down so quickly having never seen him before. The anger had subsided in him and he just wanted his freedom, his confinement both lonely and painful to endure day after day, in many ways it was worse than when he was in prison for a few months before released without further charge due to lack of plausible evidence. Both of the men who appeared to be guarding him never spoke a word and only appeared when they unlocked the door to deliver food. Tanner sent a response to Moham inviting him over the following day but not to expect too much since his project was still uncooperative and hadn't been let out of his room. Joshua rubbed his hand between his crotch the smell immediately assaulting his nostrils almost making him gag, climbing in to the shower he cleaned himself up having a shave at the same time and removing the beard completely. His hair was longer than usual but he liked it along with his freshly shaven face, he smiled at the sexy man reflected back in the mirror drying himself off. It took a few seconds to to realise that he could actually concentrate and move without bumbling around. Opting to drink a glass of water from the tap, he flushed the breakfast down the toilet and walked back in to the bedroom tidying up as he went and making his bed. By late afternoon he was hungry and sat on the chair by the window he was looking out over the countryside and the deep shadows being cast clouds floating overhead. He felt fine and for the first time he could think and register everything more clearly since arriving here. Not eating breakfast had proved that his food was being drugged and keeping him in a confused and bewildered state. The door unlocked and Aaron walked in whilst Sven stood at the door, he stopped for a moment looking around the cleaned room and the figure sat in the chair. Aaron had to double take to make sure it was actually him at first, he walked over and picked up the breakfast tray looking at the plate then glancing over to Joshua. He knew immediately by the traces of food leading to the edge of the plate that Joshua had thrown it away, a glass of half drunk water was by the chair.

"I didn't eat it if that is what you want to know" Joshua said staring out of the window.
Aaron turned to leave, "I know you are drugging me, stop it please" Joshua pleaded.

Aaron walked out a small feeling of pity crossing over him and also a weakness of desire seeing the freshly shaved young guy sat there naked with his body vying for attention. Sven walked behind Aaron smirking thinking to himself how long Aaron would be able to hold off before he crept in to the room to have sex with Joshua. Both of them were loyal to Tanner, Sven even more so being his personal body guard and often sleeping with Tanner. Aaron walked outside to the stables where Tanner was returning from his morning ride.

"He didn't eat breakfast and is fully compos mentis" Aaron said holding the reigns.
Tanner dismounted his horse and nodded. "Cleaned his room and showered" Aaron informed him.
"Good, progress at least" Tanner replied smiling.
Aaron handed the horse over to the stable guy "You want me to give him dinner?" he asked.
"Don't know yet, I need to talk to him first" Tanner replied looking curiously at Aaron.
Aaron walked with Tanner back to the estate house, "You still want him drugged?" he asked.
"Just at night and see how we go" Tanner replied and stopped walking, "You in to him?".
Aaron smiled embarrassingly "He shaved the beard off" he said changing the subject.
Tanner laughed patting Aaron's shoulder "I know a deflection when I get one" he said.
Tanner continued walking "Be careful" he said in a warning tone, "he might be playing us".
"Was he really as bad as Moham said?" Aaron asked glancing at Tanner.
Tanner nodded "Apparently so, very aggressive and manipulative" he explained.
"Moham and the young lad are coming over tomorrow" Tanner went on to say.
Aaron stopped walking "Why on earth would he want to see him?" he asked sounding shocked.
"He wants to make sure Joshua is alive" Tanner replied chuckling.
Aaron smiled "Strange" he replied, "I have the urge to rape him" he said looking at Tanner.
Tanner laughed "I thought you had put that part of your life behind you?" he asked.
"I have" Aaron replied, "Can't resist a cute sexy young lad though" he said smirking.
Tanner shook his head grinning "After tomorrow, go carefully Aaron".

There was a very murky past to Aaron and at 28 years old he had finally sorted himself out becoming a completely reformed character. He grew up in the UK before the family moved to the US not far from where Tanner lived in. He soon developed a jock style body from playing sports and weight training during his high school years. Today he was solidly built sporting a tree trunk of a body with copious muscles and was fast on his feet. With short cropped blond hair and deep blue eyes that matched his olive complexion set against attractive and finely chiselled facial features it made him quite the eye pleaser. Around town he had inadvertently made friends and found himself deeply involved in a gang. Most of the gang appeared to be blond and blue eyed and wore stickers indicating their superior tendencies. Their goal was to spread their perfect seed and bring the Aryan race to the forefront. Male or female was of no relevance every person had to be bred at one point. As strange as it all seemed to the young 19 year old Aaron he found a twisted desire especially preying on young gay guys who were easy targets. Most thought it was just rough sex but to Aaron it was raping and breeding them with his superior seed. Disturbed and impressionable he dropped out of college seduced in to this dark world that became his life and focus. Arrested several times on rape charges, he always had the message exchanges to show the police that clearly indicated consented sex and the charges could never stick. His one mistake was trying to pick on Sven who was two years older and working for Tanner's parents at the stud farm. Tanner a trained psychologist was making a fortune of his own being the one person in demand by the wealthy and celebrities, the type of people who had to have a therapist otherwise they were considered boring. Aaron had found his way out with Tanner's help and started working on the stud farm striking a friendship up with Sven and Tanner. Aaron for the most part behaved quite normally but his still loved to force himself occasionally on young guys. Reaching the house Tanner, Sven and Aaron went up to Joshua's room checking his location in the room before unlocking the door. Tanner and Aaron walked inside whilst Sven stayed outside and locked the door. Tanner pulled up a chair and sat opposite Joshua and Sven looked on standing behind Joshua.

"How are you feeling Joshua?" Tanner asked looking him in the eye.
Joshua stared back "You can't keep me here" he replied.
Tanner smiled "I don't intend to, you need help and that is what I want to do, help you".
"You can start by letting me go" Joshua replied his gazed fixed on Tanner.
Tanner leaned forward "You want to talk about why you need Conrad?".
"No" Joshua replied, "You can stop drugging me". Tanner smiled again at him sitting back.
It was a carefully elected silence by Tanner before he spoke "Talk and you get more freedom".
Tanner stood up "I will know if your deceiving me Joshua, lets talk tomorrow" he said.
"Fuck right off" Joshua said quite calmly to Tanner leaving the room.
Tanner turned "No Joshua, I will fix you make you a better person".

With that Tanner and Aaron were gone leaving Joshua alone in his room again. During the afternoon he had searched the room and found his wallet but no phone, they had clearly taken it so he couldn't call for help. But then who would he call he thought to himself, it was the few hours he sat there afterwards before realising how lonely his life was and he had no one to call on for help. Aaron appeared just before 7pm and brought Joshua dinner, placing it down without a word and walking back towards the door.

"Are you not allowed to talk to me?" Joshua asked looking at the steak, vegetables and mashed potato.
Aaron turned "Eat your dinner" he said looking at Joshua.
Joshua studied him carefully quietly aroused by him "have you drugged it?" he asked.
Aaron smirked "Eat and find out" he replied leaving the room and Sven locking the door.

Joshua couldn't help but grin watching him leave, focusing back on his dinner he picked the fork up and toyed with the mashed potato smelling it. If it was drugged then that was the ideal place to hide it but it looked perfectly normal. Joshua ate the lot considering he was hungry then took another shower, drying himself of he managed to make it to the bed before collapsing in a tranquil state and falling fast asleep.

Conrad sat on the bed whilst Harry paced around the room in anger, he understood that Conrad needed to see that Joshua was alive and was upset and angry that he chose to do it a few days before their wedding. Conrad pleading with Harry to calm and stressing that Joshua meant nothing to him and it was something he needed to do to be at peace. Despite his anger Harry finally relented and sat on the bed next to him, Conrad put his arm around Harry telling him that he was the only true love in his life. Conrad slept uneasy that night, running through the timings to make sure he could be back home early afternoon since Charlie and his parents would be arriving. He knew that when Charlie found out he too would be angry with him. By morning Moham arrived in the helicopter just after 9am. Harry escorted Conrad to the helipad asking one more time if he was sure it was the right thing to do. Simon arrived home immediately making his way to the helipad just as it lifted off and disappeared over the trees finding Harry standing there in his shorts watching.

"You are home" Harry said startled by his presence.
Simon smiled "What is going on?" he asked.
"Conrad" Harry replied looking at him, "He has to see that Joshua is alive for some reason".
Simon put his arm around Harry "Joshua is alive, he is in Ireland under lock and key".
Harry nodded "How was your trip, fucking secretive I know that much" he said nudging Simon.
Simon laughed "Sexually satisfying" he replied, "Come on I need a coffee".

They walked back to the manor with Harry bombarding him with questions about his trip.

Joshua was woken but the sound of Aaron placing his breakfast on the table by the window, he was in bed and the last thing he remembered was collapsing at the foot of the bed falling asleep. Someone had come in during the night and put Joshua to bed and removed the damp towel putting it back in the bathroom.

Joshua rubbed his head "You fucking drugged me again" he said angrily.
Aaron smirked and walked over to him keeping a distance "I had to put you to bed as well".
Joshua sat up "Did you fondle me, are you a [banned word] fucker?" he spoke sarcastically.
Aaron nodded over to his breakfast "Don't worry it is not drugged" he said.
"Like I believe you" Joshua responded, "I won't know until I collapse again".
"If you behave I will take you out for a walk later" Aaron said walking to the door.

Before Joshua could say anything he was gone and locked clicked in place. Joshua sat in the chair and looked at the breakfast, unsure if he could trust anything that was being said to him he dug in and sat waiting. Almost half an hour had passed without any drowsiness or his body relaxing, the door unlocked then opened with Tanner walking in carrying two cups of coffee, Aaron removed the tray and Tanner sat down putting the cups on the table.

"Are you in the mood to talk Joshua?" Tanner asked inviting him to drink, "Chose either one".
Joshua figured that neither was of them was drugged "What do you want to talk about the weather?".
Tanner chuckled "If you want to" he replied with his soothing soft hypnotic voice.
"Or how about where am I?" Joshua asked not being fooled by the stupid tone this guy used.
"You are on my estate as my guest and patient" Tanner replied sipping his coffee.
"Patient?" Joshua asked looking at him confused, "Fucking dick head".
Tanner chuckled "I am going to rehabilitate you Joshua, bring you back in to society".
Joshua sat back in his chair "Why?" he asked, "Come on tell me why?".
Tanner sat back staring at him "You are fucked up Joshua and I am going to help".

The tirade of verbal abuse and questions continued for an hour before Joshua found he was getting no where and kept answering Tanner's questions rather than getting responses to his own. Aaron came back in the room and nodded at Tanner who got up and told him they would continue their conversation this afternoon. He gave Joshua a stark warning to behave or he would be drugged up constantly until he learnt some respect. 

Conrad opened the door as soon as the helicopter touched down and vomited, he could cope with the twenty minute ride to London but it had had been just under two hours and he felt horrific motion sickness. Conrad wiped he eyes and turned to Moham who was laughing hard.

"So much for eating breakfast this morning" Conrad said, "Where are we?" he asked.
"Castlehyde house in Ireland" Moham replied waiting for Conrad to stop heaving.
Conrad looked up "Guess the owner has a bit of money" he said standing up.
Tanner came walking over "Looks like the young man needs some ginger beer" he said laughing.

After some quick introductions they walked up to the house and took a seat in the drawing room overlooking the front aspect of the gardens leading down to the Blackwater river. Tanner gave Moham a brief update on Joshua and Conrad became a lot more relaxed knowing a little history about Tanner knowing he might be able to do some good with him.

Aaron walked in the bedroom "We will take you outside for a walk" he said to Joshua.
Sven remained quiet standing at the door "Don't try anything" Aaron warned.

Joshua was cuffed to Aaron with one hand and the other cuffed to Sven. They walked down the sweeping staircase in to the entrance hall and outside in to the fresh air. Purposely they walked Joshua past the drawing room window slowly where Conrad could get a glimpse of him.

Conrad nodded "Okay lets go" he said feeling sick again, "I have seen enough".
Moham looked at Conrad "Tanner will help him" he reaffirmed to Conrad.
"Sorry" Conrad said quietly then looked at Moham, "Sorry for doubting you".
Moham smiled "Tanner here is really good, all his troubled patients stay here initially".
Conrad smiled at Tanner. "How is Adam?" Tanner asked Moham.
"Really good Tan" Moham replied, "In fact he got engaged to Conrad's friend".
Tanner smiled "Excellent, so glad he has found love and happiness at last".

Tanner watched the helicopter lift off and bank out over the river. Joshua heard the noise from his room and looked out the window seeing the helicopter with no idea how close he had been to Conrad. When Tanner returned in the afternoon to talk he was less than cooperative demanding to have his phone back and refusing to answer any questions. He got more and more annoyed the way Tanner would sit and watch him like a lab rat, he knew he was being assessed and it riled him even more. Aaron turned up just before 7pm with his dinner, Joshua noticed the mashed potato again and was beginning to suspect that was where the drug was being mixed in.

"Eat up like a good boy" Aaron joked moving away from Joshua.
"You scared of me?" Joshua asked noticing his movement.
Aaron laughed "Certainly not, I just don't trust myself being close to you" he replied.
Joshua walked towards him "Why is that?" he asked smirking, "Want to fuck with me?".
Aaron stood his ground staring at him "I wouldn't pass up an opportunity" he said.
Joshua beckoned him closer with his hand "Come on then".
Aaron laughed and walked towards the door "I have a tendency to rape guys like you" he warned.

Joshua laughed watching the door close and lock, he went over to his dinner and scooped the mashed potato up off the plate then flushed it down the toilet. After an hour he was satisfied that he had not ingested any more drugs, stripping naked he went to bed and laid on his side watching the sun setting from his window. He could hear the door unlock and pretended to be asleep, he could sense Aaron's closeness then heard the tray being picked up.

"He is out" Aaron said to Sven at the door.
"Okay" Sven replied, "How long do you want?" he asked.
"Thirty minutes but don't do go to far away" Aaron replied undoing his shirt.
"Take your radio in with you" Sven said handing it to him.

Sven locked the door leaving whilst Aaron took his trousers and underwear off then walked over to the bed. Joshua breathed quietly keeping his eyes closed and trying not to react. Climbing under the covers Aaron pulled Joshua over laying him flat on his stomach and shifting his body on top pinning the young guy under him. Joshua was fighting to keep his eyes closed and desperately wanted to laugh, but his senses overloaded feeling the muscular body mounting him and pressing against his own body. He was not a small man either and seemed to have a pretty hefty hard cock that was rubbing against his arse. Aaron moved Joshua's arms so they were able to be safely pinned in case he woke up and tried to fight back, wriggling his arse and lifting his hips up to get his cock in position 'Told you I would rape you' he said kissing the back of Joshua neck. Joshua closed his eyes tightly bracing himself knowing this was going to be hurt. Trying to prepare himself he struggled to stifle the cry as the pain shot through his body. Aaron rammed his cock in deep and started fucking and biting Joshua's neck moaning and gasping driving his cock in hard with each thrust. Joshua breathed out hard and released a painful moan. The fight in him gone and so aroused and horny feeling the muscles of Aaron clasping around his body pinning him to the bed. He made feeble gestures of protest with his hand, a gesture he thought someone would do whilst they were drugged up hoping it would suffice. The combined force and acute accuracy of Aaron's fucking constantly hitting his prostate made him want to cry out badly. Instead he allowed himself to make small moans and move his head a little allowing Aaron to fuck him continuously until he could feel the beginning of the orgasm. Aaron shifted his body weight down to his hips and grabbed hold of Joshua's arms tightly. He grunted very loudly raising his chest up and gripping Joshua's arms even more tightly. 'Breed you my with perfect Aryan seed' he said chuckling then slamming his pelvis down hard and grinding. His seed released in long ribbons firing out in tune with the pulses in his cock that sent electrical tingles through Joshua's body. Joshua afforded himself a little smile enjoying the orgasm from the man on top of him. His body finally collapsing on top with his arse grinding away, he kissed Joshua's neck 'Perfect' he said licking around his neck and then up along the side of his face. Slowly Aaron pulled his cock out and rolled over to sit on the side of the bed to compose himself.

Aaron felt the bed move and was about to look around before his body was hauled back roughly. An arm swiftly crushing his neck and he had no time to react. Within seconds he blacked out. Joshua rolled Aaron's limp body over on his stomach then climbed on top rubbing his cock he leant forward and pushed with all his might laughing at how the body never flinched. He knew he wouldn't have long and in no way could he hold this guy down when he became conscious again. Slamming his cock in hard and fast to get it warmed warmed up he used his arms placing them across the shoulders of Aaron hoping it would keep him pinned down long enough. It was like a bang in his head as the blood pumped around becoming conscious again, he became aware of the sharp pulsing pain in his arse. Snapping his eyes open and gasping for breath he realised his predicament and tried to wriggle free. Joshua had his legs pinned and entwinned with his keeping them apart 'Fuck, get off me' Aaron said panicking. Joshua laughed 'My turn to rape you and pump you full of my perfect toxic seed' he said sneering and laughing in a nasty way. It took a moment for Aaron to understand and he pushed up with all his might managing to get a few inches off bed before being slapped back down and Joshua delivering harder thrusts that came in rapid succession. Aaron felt the elbows digging in to his back from the force of him being held down 'Not poz' he cried out 'get off' he pleaded. Joshua laughed and continued thrusting his precum already oozing and coating the inside the Aaron's arse 'You will be when I have finished' he sneered biting Aaron's neck with purpose and jabbing his cock hard a couple of times. For good measure Joshua bit Aaron's neck sucking hard on the flesh and leaving a bright red love bite, the body wriggling under him was just so intoxicating he had to cum. Joshua felt his balls tingling as the arse under him kept wriggle to get free, he grunted and pushed up hard feeling the orgasm in his body spiralling out of control releasing his toxic seed in flashes of pulses up his cock 'Fucking pozzing you bitch' he said menacingly pushing his arms down harder to keep Aaron from moving 'Yeah!, fuck, pozzing your arse' each delivery followed by another hard jab of his cock. Aaron's body pushing up and fighting to get free but Joshua had him pinned to the bed, Aaron partly moaned in pain staring ahead closing his eyes tightly every time Joshua ground his cock deep 'Getting it in nice and deep'. He heard the clinking of the key and knew the other person was about to appear, for good measure Joshua quickly bit the nail of his middle finger so it was sharp and jagged, then whipping his cock out he pushed the finger in the moist warm hole scratching and scraping digging deep. Aaron screamed 'Fuck no' his body bucking wildly. Joshua pushed his finger in again repeatedly then pulled it out smeared with blood 'I fucking got you' he said pushing his cock back in and jabbing hard several times and wiping his bloodied finger across Aaron's cheek. The bedroom door flew open and Sven came running across the room yanking Joshua off Aaron. 'Fucking think you can rape me!' Joshua shouted angrily with arrogance at Aaron, he loomed forwards and belted Joshua hard across the face 'Stop it' Sven said pushing Aaron away.

Aaron picked up his clothes a trickle of bright pink fluid slowly snaked its way down the inside of his leg, looking visibly shocked he left the room. Joshua sat on the bed laughing as the door closed and the locked click in place. Sven had no idea what really went on before he opened the door.

"Did he make you bleed?" Sven asked looking at Aaron's face.
"Don't say anything to Tanner" Aaron said before wiping his cheek.
Sven shrugged "How are you going to explain his bruised face?" he replied.
"I thought he was out, must have thrown the potatoes away" Aaron said dashing off.

Aaron returned to his room and wiped his arse, the toilet paper bloodied from his torn arse, he flushed it away and sat on the bed in anger retrieving his laptop to to search the internet to see what he needed to do or if it was too late. He closed the laptop realising he only had Joshua's word, what if he was playing him again and wasn't poz at all, after all he had no medication or even asked for any and certainly looked normal. His cock sat thick and hard dripping pre-cum, laying back on the bed and admitting to himself that he was pretty attracted to Joshua, definitely an improvement on his last casual fuck who couldn't take it rough. Each time Aaron went in to the room with food Joshua sat there with a complacent arrogant look on his face, he was beginning to enjoy this game with Aaron, as he turned to leave Joshua would call out to him 'Thank you my bitch'. Without fail Aaron would turn his head and say the same thing 'Eat your dinner then I can rape you' laughing he would disappear with Sven locking the door. It was enough to worry Joshua slightly and he would sit there looking at his dinner. His only safe bet was to eat breakfast since he knew he would have Tanner sit and talk to him a couple of times during the day. Under the anger and resentment at being held captive here he was beginning to enjoy the hunting game with Aaron. He seemed to go around perfectly unaware that Joshua had infected him.

I know you like to tie up all loose ends in a story but that one was a real surprise 🙂 I think there's still a bit of mileage in that story line. Can't wait to read more.

Part 23 - The Hooded Figure

 

Returning home Conrad went straight to his house where his parents, grandparents and Charlie had all arrived. Despite throwing up again when they landed at the manor he shut down the queasiness happy to see his parents and unable to control his tears. What had only been a few months felt like years and once Conrad and his mother had stopped crying he told them that Simon was hosting a dinner for them all at the manor. Harry stood at the bottom of the path nervous as hell and his feet stuck to the pavement unable to carry him forward. He could do with his parents and brother being here right now for support, his attention was drawn to the front door opening and Charlie standing there looking at him. A huge sigh of relief appeared on his face seeing a familiar face, Charlie walked along the path to Harry and picked him up swinging him around in his arms happy to see him. His worry was unfounded and he charmed the pants off Conrad's parents, despite his father being a little cautious at first until he saw how much Charlie liked Harry and acted like they had been brothers for years. The grandparents still somewhat perplexed by it all took longer to come around and still looked on it as unnatural, they couldn't deny how happy Harry made Conrad. 

Adam and Jamal were staying clean of the manor tonight and helping Dexter move in. At precisely 6pm Harry's parents and brother arrived at the manor and escorted in to the lounge where cocktails were being served hosted by Simon, Conrad and his family arrived at a few minutes. The uneasiness of the meeting soon vanished with the cocktails helping to pave the way and a more relaxed atmosphere developed before dinner. Simon as always keen to catch up with Charlie and his exploits since leaving were talking loudly and laughing, Harry's brother Alfie spent most of the evening with his brother and Conrad whilst the parents and grandparents took to sitting outside in the warm evening chatting away like old friends. As the evening drew to a close Conrad's parents insisted Harry's family stay with them the Saturday night to save them having to drive back to London. Conrad flopped on to the sofa next to Harry clearly shattered from his wild day, he knew Harry still had a bone of contention he was holding on to about him visiting Joshua.

Conrad glanced at him "How long are you going to hold on to this?" he asked.
Harry grinned "As long as I need to" he replied, "Are you going to tell me?" he asked.
"Nothing to tell Harry" Conrad replied kissing him, "I saw him for a few seconds then left".
Harry looked at him "Did you talk to him?".
"Nope, he didn't even know I was there, saw him and then we left" Conrad replied.
"So is he being held prisoner?" Harry asked wanting to know more.
"Not sure, the guy who has him is a therapist of some sort" Conrad replied.
Harry put his arm around Conrad "Well I hope he can therapise him, make him normal".
Conrad laughed and looked at Harry "Bed time and I need to sex you" he said standing up.
Harry stood "You think everything will be alright this weekend with Carrington being here?".
Conrad took Harry's hand "Ah you mean with Charlie?" he asked. Harry nodded.
Conrad shrugged his shoulders "Charlie doesn't know he is coming".
"Awkward" Harry replied slipping his hand down Conrad's shorts and fingering his hole.
Conrad slapped his hand "Wait, god you are so inpatient" he said giggling.
Harry pulled him around shoving his tongue deep in to Conrad's mouth kissing him "Love you".
Conrad pushed him away and ran off "Show me you do" he said laughing and running up the stairs.

At Heathrow Sean's flight arrived a few minutes before Carrington's, Sean was through straight away with only carry on bag and met by Felix who was holding a sign up with his name on. When asked where they were off to Felix informed him they would be heading to Hampshire then waved seeing Carrington come through the doors. A brief recollection took place between Sean and Carrington having seen each other at the manor. This gave Sean some idea of where they were heading for the weekend. Settling in the back of the limo they chatted a little with Carrington being evasive of any probing questions. Simon greeted them both at the door and Carrington went up to shower whilst Sean stood there looking at him.

"What the fuck Simon?" Sean said looking shocked and angry, "You own this place?" he asked.
Simon nodded "Let's walk in the garden" he suggested.
Sean grabbed Simon's hand abruptly "You have a lot of explaining to do" he said.
"Don't take this the wrong way Sean, I protect my privacy as much as possible" Simon informed him.
Sean looked at him "Okay, but why?" he asked, "So you have a bit of money?".
Simon smiled "That is one way of looking at it, although I am not hung up over it".
"So let me guess, this is about my porn career?" Sean asked stopping by the pool.
Simon nodded "It is, that is if you are serious about me" he said trying to assess any response.
"I am serious about us" Sean replied, "You know I can't do anything about the films out there".
"I know" Simon replied walking off again, "Would you be happy giving it up though?" he asked.
"Of course, I want out of it but the money is easy and the sex is good, sometimes" Sean replied chuckling.
Simon smiled. "Figured the Arab guy must be rolling in it having a suite at that hotel" Sean said.
"What about all the cute guys that hang around here?" Sean asked catching up to Simon.
"Conrad is like a son to me, I guess I have sort of adopted him by default" Simon said laughing.
Sean chuckled "So the other one that is always rushing around is his boyfriend?" he asked.
"Yes, they are getting married this weekend. And Carrington works with me" Simon informed him.
Simon stopped and looked at Sean "You know Dexter is moving here after the wedding".
"What?" Sean asked looking shocked.
"He has a job in Alton and is going to lodge with Adam and Jamal" Simon said trying to explain.
Sean stood there shaking his head "This is so much to keep track of" he replied laughing.
Simon turned to look at the manor. "Did I hit the jackpot with you?" Sean asked looking at him.
Simon laughed "Kind of" he replied, "I won't give you money or expensive things" he warned.
"Scrooge" Sean said chuckling, "I don't care Simon, just want you" he replied kissing him.
"There is just one other thing" Simon started saying.
"Is this the bombshell?" Sean asked interrupting him.
Simon smiled "No, just don't be surprised if Conrad or Harry pounce on you" he said.
Sean raised an eyebrow "And if they do?" he asked.
"Tread carefully they are both ruthless sex machines, ask Carrington" he replied laughing.
Sean nervously laughed "Are you serious, I mean it is not going to affect us?" he asked.
"God no, Conrad still creeps in to bed with me every now and then" Simon replied casually.
Sean smiled "I quite fancy banging Carrington" he confessed making Simon laugh.
"Good luck there" Simon replied patting his hand, "Carrington likes young tender meat".

Sean laughed and took Simon's hand walking back up to the manor for breakfast.

Conrad and Harry bolted down the stairs bursting in to the dining room and smothering Carrington hearing he had arrived. Harry still getting dressed for his first proper day in the office with Adam was buzzing with excitement and too busy to think about eating so grabbed a coffee. Simon entered the dining room with Sean and Conrad looked over at them and nodded with the biggest grin on his face. Before Conrad had time to speak Harry and Carrington both kissed him then left to meet Adam and head off. Jamal walked across to the manor and into the dining room seeing Sean sat there he nodded and said morning then grabbed a coffee sitting down next to Conrad.

"No change?" Simon asked looking at Jamal's fed up expression.
Jamal looked up "Father doesn't want me in the house. Apparently I disgrace the family".
Simon looked at him carefully "And you, how are you feeling Jam?" he asked.
"Yeah I am alright, I have Adam and he is keeping me sane" he replied smiling.
Conrad sat there watching him "You have us Jam, anything you need just ask" he offered.
Sean watched Jamal knowingly "I went through a similar thing, my father only nods to me" he said.
"It is even worse because of my career" Sean added, "Just be patient with him".

Jamal knew the words were heart felt and meaningful from Conrad and Sean, he was glad that he had this group of seemingly growing friends who would be there to support him. After breakfast Jamal was going to help with the marquee that was being set up for the wedding down by the makeshift helipad leaving Conrad to spend the day with his family. They decided to head out to Alton as Conrad's parents wanted to buy some things that were not readily available in Australia. Conrad and Charlie having a lot of fun when their mother picked something up and grandmother was over her shoulder telling her she couldn't import that into Australia. They quickly got bored and said they would meet them outside by the car and walked out of the supermarket.

"Charlie" Conrad said catching his brother up, "I need to tell you Carrington is here".
Charlie looked at him "So" he replied finding his heart beating faster.
Conrad shrugged "Thought you should know" he replied, "Asks after you every time he is here".
Charlie smirked "He will get over me" he said leaning back against the car expressionless.

The news had strangely excited him and his mind started imagining Carrington running over and hugging him pouring his emotions and expressing his love for Charlie. He blinked hearing the noise from the rest of the family returning, shaking thoughts of Carrington out of his head he got in to the SUV. Returning home everyone except Conrad and Charlie went to bed sleeping off the jetlag, the boys headed over to the manor for a swim and see how Jamal was doing. By some miracle Charlie didn't see Carrington that Friday, instead he had to sit with his parents explaining what had happened with Serena. The more he talked about her the more his mind wandered over to the manor where Carrington was. Conrad arrived with Harry and they set off for dinner at the local pub where they had enjoyed many joyous family meals growing up. Eddie and Jody complaining that Conrad and Harry had refused any wedding presents since they had no idea what they wanted. Harry continued charming the pants off the grandparents and it was having results since they started to take an interest in his life, family and job.

The late June sunshine bathed the gardens as all the guests assembled, Carrington was already in the marquee with Jamal and Adam grabbing a sneaky glass of wine before the wedding commenced. The whole thing was kept very simple, Conrad and Harry would walk down together behind their families and their brothers at their side. Opting to start at midday to get it over with and let their hair down, the guests all stood as the Flower Waltz from the Nutcracker played, it was Jack's favourite piece of classical music and Conrad had to stop himself from trying to ballet dance down the aisle. He loved this piece of music and would often twirl around the greenhouse when Jack played it, Jack would go in to hysterics before composing himself then calling Conrad a poofter and raping him. Conrad had an overwhelming feeling that Jack was here watching over him again. He felt Harry squeeze his hand tighter, he glanced at Harry who looked up and smiled like he was feeling it as well. Charlie confused watching them had no idea what they were thinking and shook his head smiling over at Alfie. Charlies face forwards again and his eye caught a glimpse of Carrington who was watching Conrad and Harry standing next to Simon and Moham. He felt a streak of sadness or anger, he couldn't be sure, the American did not even look or acknowledge him and turned away when Conrad and Harry reached the official. All through the quick ceremony he kept taking quick glances at Carrington, nothing, not even a sneaky glance from him. Charlie couldn't explain what was going on in his head, there was frustration definitely and it was getting to him. Instead Charlie focused back to his brother and handed over the ring the an applause rang out. Charlie had be so consumed by Carrington that he missed most the ceremony and everyone was coming up congratulating them, champagned corks popped and the caterers began circulating with drinks. Charlie looked around but Carrington was out of view.

A glass popped in front of him "How are you Charlie?" Carrington asked.
Charlie took the glass "Fine" he replied trying to hide his annoyance, "Thanks".
He turned to face Carrington. "And how is the navy thing?" Carrington asked.
"Fine" Charlie replied being cool and distant not wanting to arouse any suspicion.
Carrington looked at his glass "Sorry I must go an talk to Moham" he said excusing himself.

Charlie sipped his champagne watching Carrington and unable to make him out or what just happened, underneath he knew he was to blame with his lame conversation tactics. Why oh why did it hurt him so much to be treated like this by him?. Charlie looked around the room and found Simon standing by Moham and Carrington, he was looking directly at Charlie drinking champagne with a school teacher look like he was telling Charlie off without words at his behaviour. Charlie had to look away and saw Alfie trying to get his attention, he smiled and walked over joining him. Carrington watched him for most of the day, one part of him could see Charlie was trying to be normal around his family, the other saw the unmistakable glances he would sneakily take. It left Carrington with an empty feeling and that he needed to move on and forget about him. The rest of the day was a celebration with just the right amount of people and Simon spared no expense as his wedding present to Conrad and Harry providing amazing food and champagne. With the evening drawing on Conrad and Harry were a little drunk and laid on the grass together giggling having a few minutes alone staring up at the sky and the reddish tinge from the setting sun.

"He was watching" Harry mumbled. Conrad let a tear trickle down from the corner of his eye.
"I know" Conrad replied sniffing. "Watching over us Harry" he said fighting tears of happiness.
Harry pulled Conrad in to a hug holding him tight "He made it happen. I love you Con".
"Love you Harry" Conrad replied, Harry wiped the tears from Conrad's cheek and kissed him.
"Jack loves a good party" Adam said sitting down beside them.
Harry and Conrad looked at him, "You feel him here?" Conrad asked.
Adam nodded "God yes, I think he has achieved what he needed to" he said smiling.
"And here is someone fighting against all odds" Adam said nodding at Charlie approaching them.
Adam chuckled "Drunk but open like a book" he said.
Charlie plonked himself down clearly drowning his sorrows "I got you brother drunk" he said.
Harry giggled "Is he dancing naked yet, he usually does when he is drunk".
Adam slipped a piece of paper in to Charlie's pocket "Oi" Charlie slapped his hand.
"Get over yourself" Adam replied laughing, "It is just a bit of paper".
Charlie waved his hand in the air "Whatever" he said laughing.
Charlie sat up "I wanted to kiss the bride but I don't know who it is" he said then laughed.

Conrad and Harry pounced on Charlie fighting with him as whistles echoed from the marquee and Harry heard his mother shouting at Alfie, laughing he grabbed Conrad and Charlie telling them to get a move on as Alfie must be at the naked dance stage. Entering the tent sure enough Alfie had his underwear on but was dancing on a table evading his mother who was trying to get him down. Simon and Carrington had grabbed chairs and were sat at the front enjoying the show and throwing money at him. Harry walked up to his mother 'chill out' he said kissing her on the cheek and grabbing a chair and watching the show. Charlie managed to get the video on his phone and filmed him. 

Jamal stood by Charlie giggling "Don't forget I still have the one of you and Carrington".
Charlie grinned and leaned in to whisper "Fuck off, I will kill you if you show it" he said.
Almost by accident or was it, Charlie kissed Jamal on the cheek "Slut" Jamal said grinning.
Charlie laughed "You love it" he replied turning back to Alfie who was thrusting his hips.
"Is he gay?" Jamal asked looking at Charlie.
Charlie shrugged "How the fuck would I know" he replied, "Good dancer though".
Harry's father put his arm on Charlie's shoulder "I know it was you" he said chuckling.
"Sorry" Charlie replied, "I didn't know he would end up doing this" he explained.
Harry's father laughed "I should get him dance lessons" he said.

Alfie was eventually persuaded by Charlie to get down to the boos of the crowd. With his arm around Charlie they walked over to the bar to get him some water, with Alfie exclaiming to anyone who would listen that he loved his new brother of his brother-in-law. Guests were departing and Charlie almost carrying Alfie to the house were last to leave, he had a look around but Carrington had gone already. Conrad and Harry flopped on to the bed sobered up and exhausted, everyone had stayed at the party for nearly 10 hours, even all the guests were exhausted as they left. Conrad looked at Harry and they both sprang off the bed running down the hallway and bursting in to the bedroom. The figure in the bed sat up not quite having got to sleep.

"What do you want?" Carrington asked, "I have an early flight".
"Our wedding present" Harry replied closing the door.
"Oh fuck" Carrington complained laying back down grinning, "Get in bed then".
Conrad knelt on the bed "What happened between you and Charlie?" he asked.
"Absolutely nothing" Carrington replied, "There is nothing there" his voice echoing how he felt.
"Rubbish" Conrad replied, "You two are nuts for each other, Charlie just needs pushing over the fence".
Carrington looked at Conrad "Are you getting in to bed then?" he asked.

Conrad laid in bed watching the the incredible scene of Carrington's muscled body moving with elegance and ease as he slowly fucked Harry, a sight he never got bored of seeing. Only lasting 20 minutes before he pulled out and roughly pulled Conrad on to his back, legs quickly up over his shoulders driving his cock in. His eyes fixed on Conrad's face watching his changing expressions, deliberately taking his time and getting deep in to Conrad's arse, the erotic moans hitting his ears. Carrington smiled, his mind playing tricks and he could only see Charlie's face pinned under him. It triggered his orgasm delivering rapid thrusts 'Oh Charlie' he mumbled stretching his body upwards to get maximum penetration, his balls squashing against Conrad's arse. Electrical jolts of pleasure pushing deeper and deeper until he felt tapping on his arse bringing him back down. Looking down he saw a strange expression on Conrad's face and pulled back slightly. Glancing to his left he saw the same confused expression on Harry's face.

"What's the matter?" Carrington asked catching his breath. Harry looked at Conrad.
Conrad stroked Carrington's face "You called me Charlie" he said staring up at him.
"Did I?" Carrington replied, "Sorry slip of the tongue".
Conrad didn't know what to say. "You really fancy him don't you?" Harry asked after a silence.
Carrington gently pulled his cock out kneeling on the bed "Yes. I know it will never happen".
Conrad knelt up and kissed him "I wish we could make him see that" he said affectionately.
Carrington smiled "He knows, suppose a man is not what he is after. Fact!" he said.

Conrad pulled Carrington down and lifted the duvet over them. Carrington smiled, the best part of having sex with these two was sleeping with afterwards, one either side of him and he soon fell asleep. By 7am Carrington kissed Conrad and Harry and left for the airport. Charlie was using the bathroom and returned to his bedroom seeing the limousine coming out of the gates, he put a hand on the window pane and watched it passing beneath him, following it down the drive to the gates then turning on to the main road. Charlie picked up his trousers off the bedroom floor and diligently went through the pockets before putting them in the laundry basket. His fingers touching the small piece of paper that he pulled out and opened. The slip of paper just contained one line '3785 N Stratford Road, Buckhead, Atlanta' it took a moment to realise he had been slipped Carrington's address by Adam. He folded the piece of paper and put it on the bedside table thinking nothing more of it. He was still angry at Carrington, for what though he was unsure now. Quietly he showered and dressed sneaking out to the manor before anyone else got up, the house was busy with all his and Harry's family staying over. Walking up the pavement his head muddled with thoughts around Carrington and how 3 months ago the guy had so nearly seduced him, so lost in those strange memories he wore a wide grin on his face walking in to the kitchen just before 8am. Beth greeted him and poured him a coffee and Charlie sat down chatting away to her, mostly about Alfie's dancing what other guests got up to.

Charlie cleverly swerved the conversation "Nice of Carrington to come over for the wedding".
Beth stopped laying bacon on a baking tray to look at him "Yes, he has left already".
"What?" Charlie asked then corrected himself, "Oh he has left already?".
"Yes, Felix drove him at 7am to the airport" Beth replied, "Did you manage to catch up with him?".
Charlie looked at his coffee "Not really it was way to busy".
Beth nodded "Definitely wasn't himself when the wedding started" she informed him.
"Oh, in what way?" Charlie asked trying to keep the conversation light.
"Not sure" Beth said holding a sausage, "Something put him on edge for the rest of the day".
Charlie nodded slowly. "You staying for breakfast?" Beth asked.
"Hmm?" Charlie looked up miles away in thought, "Oh yes thank you".
"Half an hour before it is ready Charlie" Beth said putting the tray in the oven.
Charlie smiled "I will go and annoy the newly weds" he said jumping up.

Charlie opened the door to the bedroom to find them fast asleep, he crept in and laid on the bed causing Harry to stir and wake up. Raising his head he smiled and patted the bed next to him. Charlie crawled up and laid next to Harry.

"Did you sleep well?" Charlie asked.
"Just got back to our room about an hour a go" Harry said sleepily.
Charlie looked at him "Where have you been then?" he asked curiously.
Harry smiled "Getting our wedding present from Carrington" he said, Conrad let out a loud snore.
Charlie was quite amused at this "I guess it was a good present then" he remarked.
Harry turned on his side moving closer to Charlie "Yes but he still has eyes for one person".
Charlie turned his head towards Harry "Fuck off" he said quietly.
Harry shrugged "Face it Charlie, you are a heart breaker" he said quietly giggling.
Harry rolled on to his back "I thought you and Alfie were going to get it on" he said grinning.
Charlie leaned over Harry "What gave you that impression?" he asked looking worried.
"You were inseparable yesterday, Alfie really likes you" Harry said teasingly.
"Your crackers but then I always knew you were from when you accosted me in London" he replied.
Harry smiled "Yeah, but I got the best outcome from it, anyway Alfie is straight".
Charlie smirked "I don't care, he is much nicer than you and fun to hang about with".
"Yeah, yeah" Harry replied looking at Charlie, "So how about it then?" he said grinning.
Charlie looked at him confused. "I want to kiss my brother-in-law" Harry said looking serious.
Charlie chuckled putting his hand over his mouth "See, you are crackers".

Harry smiled licking his lips then puckered up. Charlie just looked at him and found his lips touching Harry's sharing a brief but very nice kiss before he pulled away.

"Dirty fuckers" Conrad said turning over, "Hands off my husband Charlie" he said rubbing his eyes.
Harry chuckled "Tastes the same as you" he said to Conrad.
Conrad smiled "Of course he does we are identical" he replied pinching Harry's nipple.
"You okay Chaz?" Conrad asked. Charlie nodded then Harry rolled on top of him.
"Get off you pervert" Charlie said laughing.
Harry smiled and looked at Conrad "Imagine a foursome with Charlie and Alfie" he said.
Conrad laughed "That is sick Harry" he replied, "But yeah I could go for that!".
"Would love to see your twin fuck you" Harry said receiving a slap from Charlie.
"I can't believe you two" Charlie said pushing Harry off him and unable to stop laughing.
Harry kneeled up on the bed "Carrington is the only one who can tame you" he said to Charlie.
"Give it up Harry" Charlie said feeling himself blush a little, "I'm going for breakfast".

Charlie hopped off the bed and left the room and Harry's giggling, it did nothing to help Charlie and his now ever impending predicament and doubt. Sunday lunchtime they spent as a family having lunch, Harry's family left for London then early evening Conrad, Charlie and Harry all went up to the airport to see off the last few family members who were flying back to Australia. Conrad and Harry promising they would fly over later in the year to see them. Charlie was looking at the flight information screens and saw several flight flashing red with final boarding, one a flight to Atlanta. Was it in his head that everything just kept reminding him of Carrington today? Back home and alone in the house he fired up his laptop spending an hour browsing before closing it and going to bed. He had received an email from Dave telling him that repairs were going to take 2 weeks and given a date when to report back for duty. All night long Charlie kept waking up and at 5am he got up and opened the laptop again. He checked the weather forecast and it showed heavy rain and storms forecasted, definitely waterproof weather he said to himself. Unsure even why he was thinking this way, his email pinged receiving his confirmation. By mid morning he was on the train heading to London, frightened about what could happen later that day it was one the craziest things he had ever got himself in to.

Charlie woke confused and trying to compute that it was only 4pm in the afternoon, fastening his seat belt he looked out of the window at the dark clouds shrouding them, jerking side to side until the aircraft escaped the last dark cloud and the rumbling of the landing gear being extended vibrated up through his feet. By the time he arrived at the address it was already 6.30pm, nervously he walked in to the reception and was pointed to an elevator up to the eighth floor. Brightly illuminated against the dark clouds and slightly wet, Charlie went to the the reception desk on this floor.

"Hi, can I see Carrington please?" Charlie asked nervously.
Evelina looked at him "I am sorry he is not around" she replied.
Jose walked behind the desk handing Evelina envelopes looking at Charlie "Signed" he said.
Charlie distracted by the way Jose was looking at him, "Where can I find him?" Charlie asked.
"I am sorry unless you have an appointment Carrington won't be returning" Evelina informed him.
"Sorry" Jose said still looking at Charlie, "Are you after Carrington?" he asked.
Charlie looked at the strange way he was looking at him "Yes, I just arrived from the UK" Charlie replied.
Jose tapped his chin staring at him "Are you Charlie?" he asked.
Charlie looked surprised. "Yes" he finally managed to reply.
"Come and dry off" Jose said coming round and escorting Charlie to his office.
Jose took his coat and hung it up "You want a coffee or something?" he asked.
"Coffee would be nice, thanks" Charlie said.
Jose smiled "You came all the way from England to find Carrington?" he asked pouring coffee.
Charlie nodded. "You are the reason Carrington has been so moody" Jose said handing him a mug.
"Me?" Charlie asked.
"Yes" Jose replied sitting down, "He came back to work today even worse".
Charlie looked at Jose "I wasn't exactly friendly to him at the weekend".
"So what has changed?" Jose asked studying him carefully, "I mean you came all this way".
Charlie shrugged "I have no idea what I am doing or why I am here" he confessed confusing himself.
"Carrington has gone to the gym in Buckhead then he will be going home" Jose informed him.
"Listen" Jose said, "I will take you to his home but call me if you need somewhere to stay".

Jose gave Charlie his mobile number and waited until he was dry then drove him to Buckhead and the address that was on the slip of paper Adam had put in his pocket. Jose could tell Charlie was a wreck when the car pulled up the long swerving driveway up to the house. 

He checked his watch "He should be finished and will be here shortly" Jose said.
"Thanks" Charlie said unbuckling the seat belt, "Appreciate what you have done".
"Hey, call if things don't go well and you need somewhere to stay" Jose reminded him.
Charlie nervously smiled "I will, thank you" he replied getting out of the car.

Charlie pulled the hood up of his coat and stood under the small overlap by the front door feeling nauseous and tired form his journey, the rain splattering against him from the gusts of wind. Jose drove out on to the road then stopped and sent a message to Carrington 'Dropped a package off at your front door, it is fragile and needs your attention, get home quickly'. Carrington looked at the message thinking Jose had lost the plot and got in to his car to head home. The intensity of the rain increased and a flash of lightning burnt through the sky followed by the low rumbling of thunder. 10 minutes later Carrington turned on to the driveway, the storm had moved in quickly settling over Buckhead the lashing rain illuminated by lightning then drowned out by the thunder.

Taking the long curve up the gentle slope he saw a dark hooded figure briefly illuminated by lightning waiting at his front door.
