Comments may be made to Pietar_the_fearless@yahoo.com ***** The sun was really drying out Jared's skin, and he was growing very thirsty, especially since he could hear the stream flowing just a dozen or so yards away. It had been at least an hour since the three boys had left, so Jared guessed it was probably about getting close to time for the girls to return. They would extract some payment from him, but at least he would be free. He heard a noise from the trail, and saw the older two of the three boys returning. "Good, I see you're still here," Mike said, stating the obvious. "I'll bet you'd really like us to untie the ropes, wouldn't you." Jared admitted he would. "Well, maybe we will help you, and maybe we won't." "Stop wasting time Mike, you said you were going to do it, so get on with it" said the other boy." "You've had your turn Trent, just give me a second. Taking my pants off outdoors doesn't excite me like it does you." Jared decided to make a case for getting free. "I know how to do what you want feel even better. I'll do it if you promise to untie at least one of the ropes." Mike seemed to be considering this. "How do you make it better, what do you have to do?" "I'll show you, just get ready. But promise me you'll untie me when we're done." "Okay, I guess." Mike turned his back and undid his pants, turning around and quickly moving up to where Jared was kneeling in the grass. His penis was still flaccid, but Jared took it into his mouth and began to suck and slid, using his tongue as much as he could. Mike's dick began to harden, and then Mike started to rock back and forth in time with Jared's movements. He was too young to cum, but he had the longest orgasm Jared had ever seen. Jared guessed it was the first one Mike had ever had while awake. "Wow, that was really intense. You're right Trent, I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Mike was so happy about his feelings that he didn't even notice he was standing there with his still-hard penis on display. Trent took his turn next. He was already hard when he approached Jared, so it didn't take quite as long, but the response was just as powerful for him as it had been for Mike. When he was done, Jared said "I did my part, now could you untie me like you promised?" Mike untied one foot and Trent started to untie the other but Mike told him to wait. Mike took the rope and tied it to the chain between the handcuffs and ran the other end up and around Jared's throat, pulling it until Jared's arms were pulled up tight against his back. He then let Trent untie the rope on the other foot from the tree, but tied it to Jared's other ankle with about two feet of slack between his legs. Next he found a couple of thin sticks, each approximately 3 feet long, and tied them to the loose ends of the fishing line. Then he closed the pocket knife and dropped it in his pocket. "That ought to keep you from moving too fast. Just like you wanted, you're untied from the tree and free to go." He had a big smile across his face. "Come on, Mike, it isn't necessary to do all that," Trent said. "His hands are cuffed behind him, and he doesn't have any shoes on, so why all the other stuff?" "Because he could have told us from the start he knew how to give a blow job, but he held back. So now this will keep him from being able to hide from anyone or get away. He can go home, but it will be at like 1 mile an hour." Mike and Trent left, not realizing that Jared had one other problem. When his sister kidnapped him early this morning she didn't give him his glasses. His vision close up was fine, but anything 50 yards or so out was blurred, which meant he wouldn't be able to see other people around him until he was close to them. He took a few steps, and realized that he could only take baby steps. And the sticks tied to the line attached to his sack seemed to catch on every tree or rock on the path. He had to back up and kick them free frequently. He was making even worse time than he had made the last time the girls tied him up out here. He still had no idea how he would actually get home, he couldn't very well stroll naked past the 4 blocks of businesses and the 5 blocks of houses between the highway and his house. But he didn't have much choice except to hope that someone friendly would come along and help. He made his way to where he could actually hear cars going by on the county highway, but not see them yet before the help arrived. Jared could see someone running down the path toward him, but couldn't make out who it was until he heard Shawn shout his name. Jared stopped right were he was and watched as Shawn ran towards him. At first he thought Shawn was also naked, but as he got closer Jared could see that he was wearing Speedos. "Man, I'm sorry it took me so long. The girls called me this morning and told me what they had done to you, but they wouldn't tell me where you were until I went to Liz's house first. She told me I could only wear a bathing suit, so I ran back home and put on a pair, but she said they were too large. I finally had to go to Johnson's and buy these before they would tell me where you were. I ran as much of it as I could." While he talked, he pulled a string off from around his neck and used a key on it to unlock the handcuffs. "God, what did they do to you" he said, looking at the fishing line running back to the two sticks. "That wasn't completely them, Roger Davidson's little brother was the one who came up with the idea to slow me down." Jared went ahead and told the entire story. "I told you they wouldn't let me quit" he said at the end. "Just give me another card and I'll sign it" Shawn said, but Jared was already shaking his head. "They know I lost it, and they won't let you sign one without making me do something again." "Okay, let's worry about that later. Right now we need to figure out how we're going to get you home." Shawn paused for a minute. "You don't happen to have a plan do you?" "The only plan I have is you let me borrow the Speedos and I go home. But I promise you, they won't let me leave, which would mean you would be stuck out here naked. So I guess I don't have a plan either." Jared sat down and tried to look at the hooks in his balls. Shawn noticed them for the first time. "They put fish hooks in your sack? Man, they are cruel." "Yeah, it's not the first time, either. They used barbed hooks too, which means I can't get them out without something to cut the ends off with." He stood back up and looked towards the highway. "Now that the handcuffs are off, we could hitchhike. We just say someone stole my suit and our towels." "How could you do that, walk along the side of the road bare naked like that. I'm embarrassed just wearing the Speedos." Jared shrugged his shoulders. "I look at it this way, either we walk home, and 5,000 people see me naked, or we hitchhike and maybe only a few do. Besides, I could stay out of sight in the ditch until someone stops." Shawn was just staring at him. "I don't have a better plan, unless you've come up with one." "I guess if you can do it, I can do it" Shawn said, picking the best path through the grass towards the road. The first car that stopped had a couple of guys from a nearby college in it. When Shawn explained their misfortune, one of the boys opened the back and pulled out a pair of coveralls, tossing them back to where Shawn had told him Jared was. Jared waited until the car he could see was past, then ran out and pulled them on as quickly as he could. He kept the handcuffs out of sight, trying to keep them from banging together. "Thanks, I'll get them back to you somehow, just tell me where" he said as he ran up to the car. "Don't worry about them, they're an old pair that don't fit me anymore. I just had them back there in case I had a breakdown. I don't really need them." They agreed to give Shawn and Jared a ride to Jared's house. He asked them to drop him off at the top of the block instead of his house. "I don't want my mom to see me coming home in a strange car and asking a lot of questions" he said, which was true, but not the only reason he wanted to be dropped off early. As soon as the car drove off, he pulled Shawn to the backyard at a house with a for sale sign in the front yard. Jared started pulling off the coveralls, being careful not to catch the fishing line on anything. "You take these and go home. I can cut through the backyards and get to my house from here without getting caught." "But why not just wear them home?" "Because I'm afraid they might do something to you that would make it a lot harder for you to get home. Besides, I really don't want you to be there when I get home; it's kind of embarrassing. I'll tell you about it later, just go ahead and use these to get home." He handed the coveralls to Shawn, who put them on. "If you're sure this is the best way, I'll say good luck, and thanks; it will be a lot easier to go home in these." They parted, Jared going across the back yard towards his house and Shawn back out to the front. When he got to the backyard of his own house, he sprinted across the lawn and up to the door, but the door was locked. He looked in the window and he could see Ashley and Lois, so he knocked. They looked up at him, but didn't get up. Not sure what to do, he hid behind the garage where there was a little bit of cover. A few minutes later the girls came out and joined him. "Still haven't found your key I take it" Ashley said as natural as she could. "No, I haven't had a chance to look for it yet." "Did you lose the handcuffs too?" He held them out to her, but she didn't take them. "Good thing you didn't lose them, you're renting them from Adam. By the hour." Jared's heart sank. "Still thinking about dropping the pledges?" "Uh, no, I've decided to go ahead and finish them" he said. He couldn't believe they were having a normal conversation like this after everything that had happened. "That's a good idea. Do you know a boy named Scott Vanderville? He called for you today, and said he has something of yours. I think he said something about a wallet, so you might want to call him." Ashley and Lois started to walk away, and Jared got up to follow. When they got to the house, the girls squeezed through quickly and closed the door behind them before Jared could get in. The door was locked. Jared knocked again, and his sister opened it a crack. "Could you let me in please?" he asked. She came out instead, and sat down on the step. "Stand there with your hands above your head until we are done" she told him. Jared looked around, if anyone was looking they couldn't miss seeing him, but he knew she controlled all the cards. "First off, we won't just let you in, but we could be bought. Seventy five dollars would be about right." "I don't have that much money" he said. The girls started to walk away, and Ashley said over her shoulder "Then knock again when you do" but Jared asked them to wait. "Maybe I could earn it somehow." Ashley pretended to consider this. "I'll let you in to use the phone and to eat lunch, but you stay outside the rest of the day. You don't put on any clothes or attempt to cover yourself in any way. And if anyone comes over, you tell them you like to be naked in your backyard. That and $50 and you gain access to the house again." "I only have $25, I gave the rest to you" he said, guessing she already knew that. "Then I will loan you the money. But I charge $5 a week in interest, plus for each week it takes you to repay the loan you give up masturbation unless you first get permission from me, Lisa, Liz, or Lois. That includes wet dreams. If I find any evidence you have cum, it will cost you an extra $15. Do you accept my terms?" Jared did the math quickly. With his normal allowance, it would take him thee weeks to pay it off, assuming there were no extra charges. But he didn't have any choice and he knew it. "I accept your conditions." He went in and looked up the phone number for Scott Vanderville. Scott answered on the second ring, and said he did indeed have Jared's wallet, along with some other stuff too. Jared asked him to bring it to school on Monday, but Scott said "Oh no, what I have you don't want go to school. You come here and we'll work out a reward for me finding your stuff, but if you want to wait until Monday it'll be too late." "Okay then, how about tomorrow" Jared asked. Scott sensed there was a reason why Jared didn't want to see him today. He knew with what he had found in Jared's wallet that putting it off didn't make sense, he should be in a hurry to get it back. "No, I'm busy tomorrow. What are you doing right now?" "Uh, I'm just hanging around in my backyard, but uh," "I'll be right there" Scott said, and then he hung up. Jared knew that yet again he had been set up for an embarrassing failure by his sister. He went back outside to wait for the enviable questions, comments, and deals from Scott. When Scott showed up, his first reaction was typically, he couldn't believe that a boy who was nearly 14 years old was standing around naked in his back yard. He asked the obvious question. "Because I like to play naked sometimes" Jared answered. He was just about to add the fact that he was told he had to answer the question that way when Ashley and Lois came outside and walked past the boys. Scott looked from the girls to Jared and back again, but when Jared ignored the two girls he decided to try and ignore it too. At least now the picture made more sense. Scott waited until the girls had gone on past and were out of hearing range. "I found this in your pants on Friday" he said, holding up Jared's wallet. "So you're the one who took my clothes" Jared said, reaching for the wallet. Scott pulled his hand back. "Not so fast, first my reward." He pulled the $25 out of the wallet. "This will do fine. Next, I want some information. Like, why do you carry this around in your wallet?" He held out a photograph of Jared walking naked down a residential street. Jared knew exactly where the picture had been taken; it was on Elm Street when he was paying off Liz's pledge card. But he had never seen the photograph, let alone put it in his wallet. That could only mean his sister had put it there, which explained why she approved Shawn's plan so rapidly. "Uh, well, I don't want this to get around, but I'm a nudist" Jared said. "Yeah, right! I don't think so, I think that has something to do with these" Scott said, holding up the two pledge cards that Jared had put in his wallet. "I don't think you're a nudist, I think you lost a bet somewhere and this is how you have to pay it off. Am I right?" "Yeah, you're right. And I'm not done yet, either." "And if I'm right, then you really need these two cards back, don't you." "Again, you are correct. I really need those cards." "And your sister is involved in this whole mess?" Jared nodded his head. "I'm going to hang on to these two cards for now. I might have something for you to do for me, but I've get to check with my uncle first. When I know what I want from you, we'll talk about how bad you really need these back." Jared's head was hanging down. Speaking so softly that Scott could hardly hear him, he said "There's a time element involved, I'm really trying to get these done. If you want me to do something, can't we talk about it now?" "No, because what I want I have to discuss with my uncle first. But I'll tell you what, how many more cards like these are out there?" "Three of them, one to the girl next door, one to a boy over by Elm Street, and my sister has one. But my sister will give up the one she has when I've earned the other four, so I actually only have just two to go. Plus the two that you have now." "Okay then; you do what you have to do in order to earn the other two. If I can't do what I want to do by the time you are done, then I'll just have you do something stupid and give you these cards back. Until then, don't worry, I'll protect them. I'll give you this stuff now, but on one condition. You keep that picture right where it is now in your wallet until you have paid me back. I'll keep these two cards until we're all paid up." Scott gave him back his clothing, his wallet, and the house key, keeping only the two pledge cards. After Scott left, Jared went to the garage to get a pair of pliers so he could remove the fish hooks, but his dad's tool box had a lock on it. He grabbed his tackle box, but his pliers weren't in it where they should be. Ashley came in while he was searching something to use. "Looking for something?" she asked, still sounding innocent. "My pliers are missing from my tackle box; I guess you put them somewhere?" "Are you accusing me of stealing them?" she asked. "I just put them away where they are safe, you know, so that nobody can steal them. But I know where the key is." Jared stared at her, but she just stared back. Finally he gave in. 'Where is the key?" "It'll cost you five dollars" she said without moving. Finally Jared nodded his head, and she pulled a key out of her pocket. "If you're sure nobody will steal anything, you don't need to lock it again." The next morning, he got dressed as soon as he finished breakfast. The handcuffs didn't fit in any of his pockets, so he clipped them to a belt loop and got ready to leave. "Are you planning on returning those this morning?" Ashley asked. "Because if you are, you own Adam for 37 hours of rental. We agreed on 75 cents an hour, so that's almost 30 dollars you owe him. If you need to borrow it, I'll loan it to you at the standard rate. Or you can try to work out a deal with Adam. But if you come back to borrow it from me, I may tack on an additional charge." Jared thought about it and decided to take his chances with Adam. "So right now you are at thirty-five dollars you owe me with this week's interest. And while we're on the subject, let's go check your sheets." She led the way into his bed room and pulled back the sheet, inspecting it closely. "Good for you, I don't see any signs you violated our agreement." Jared hurried over to Adam's house before the handcuffs cost him any more. Adam took a piece of paper and figured out how much Jared owned him. "It comes to $27.75" he said, taking the handcuffs from Jared. "Um, I don't have the money. I thought maybe we could work something out." Jared decided he might as well also explain the lost card before Scott called Adam. "You're kidding, you mean we might get to do it all over again?" Jared nodded his head. "That would be so cool if we could. Let's go talk to Kevin and Brad and we'll see what we can work out in exchange for the money. We all shared the cost, so the handcuffs belong to all of us" The group met at the fort, which had Jared worried, but all they did was talk. Kevin made up his mind first. "I'll get you four more of my father's pills, you take one each day you have gym class, which means you'll be hard as a rock in the locker room." That spurred Adam into making up his request. "And on those same days, you don't wear any boxers or underpants to school." Jared explained that the next two gym classes he had to wear underpants as part of another deal. "Okay then," Adam said, "then just for the two gym classes after that." Suddenly Brad's face lit up as he figured out what he wanted for his share of the money. "The community kid's theater is putting on a play next month and we can't find anyone willing to play the lead role, that of Tarzan. You try out for the lead, and I mean really try out, like you want the role. It doesn't matter if you get the role or not, all I want is for you to sincerely try out. There are only a couple of eighth graders involved in the play, its mostly fifth, sixth, and seventh graders, and we want some older kids involved. Jared thought that sounded odd, and asked Brad about it. "How come nobody wants the lead role?" "Because some of the kids think it's a stupid play. That and the fact that Tarzan's costume is just a loin cloth; so only the younger kids are willing to be on stage like that and they want someone bigger to play the lead." "I don't know, this sounds like a lot to do for less than thirty dollars. You guys have taken a lot of money from me in the last few weeks already." "Then you hang on to the handcuffs until you have enough money" Adam said He looked at his watch and added "Oh look, another hour has gone by already. That's another 75 cents." Jared was just ready to accept when Kevin said to his friends "Look, he's right. Maybe we could back off a little." Looking at Jared he said "There's a tryout after school tomorrow. If you get the lead role, then we just give you two pills, one for next Tuesday and one for the following Tuesday. And you just go without underpants on Tuesday of the next week. But if you get the role, you perform in the play, no backing out later." "What if I don't get in the play?" Jared asked. "Then you tried out, and you take the four pills and two days without underwear." It didn't sound much better to Jared, but he didn't want to go back to his sister and try to borrow the money from her. "Okay, I'll show up at tryout and go for the lead role" Jared said. "Remember, you need to really try for it, not just show up and read the lines. I'll give you my copy of the script so that you can start thinking about how you would play the lead role on stage, it will help with the audition." The next day, after Ashley found evidence of a wet dream when she checked Jared's sheet and added fifteen dollars to the amount he owed her. As Jared went through his closet, he realized that his selection of clothes was getting thin. He had lost too many shirts and pants in the last few weeks, and was running out of stuff to wear. He made the best selections he could from what was available and headed off to the bus stop. There were already several kids there when he arrived, and he could see them talking and laughing about something. He guessed it was probably him they were laughing at. As soon as the kids saw him the whoops and hollers increased with the kids making jokes about his standing at attention saluting their bus as they drove by last Friday. Near the end of the day, Roger showed up and handed Jared two pairs of blue briefs. "These are for you to wear tomorrow and Thursday. And don't forget about the dare at the door." Not wanting to be seen walking down the hall carrying underwear, Jared stuffed them into his front pockets, and meet Brad to go to the audition for the play. "The kid's theater is meeting at the elementary school" Brad said. "We can take bus number 83 to get there." They headed out to the bus loading zone and boarded the proper bus. Once at the elementary school, they went to the auditorium and Brad introduced Jared to Mr. Haverty, the director. "He's never acted before, but he's willing to try out for the role of Tarzan," Brad said. Mr. Haverty was in his early twenty's. He looked Jared over and said "I'm sure he'll do fine, even without any experience. We can teach you a lot quickly, and this is not one of our bigger plays, in fact, it's just the sort of play you need if you want to move into the field of acting, although it's intended for the 6 to 12 year old age group." Mr. Haverty started getting everyone quieted down and announced that they had someone to read for the lead role. Jared noticed a couple of forth or fifth graders stare at him with angry looks, he guessed they were hoping for the role. But all of the older boys looked relieved to have someone volunteer. Mr. Haverty asked if Jared was familiar with any parts of the play, and Jared showed him the script Brad had given him. "Oh good then, we'll try reading from page 22, where the hunters have taken Tarzan captive." Jared turned to the proper page while Brad and four other kids, including Brad's brother Gary and Kevin's brother Luke, came up on stage. "Mr. Haverty, I gave my copy of the script to Jared, do you have an extra one that I can read from?" asked Brad. Once everyone was in place and on the right page, the practice began. They worked at it for an hour, and Mr. Haverty provided Jared several tips to make his reading better. At the end, he announced that they now had a Tarzan. With the lead role now filled, Mr. Haverty also announced a few changes. He started calling out names and telling the kids who answered the role they would have. Two of the names he called, Freddy Kraven and Ron Jent, were made hunters. Jared noticed that these were the boys who apparently were hoping for the role Jared had just earned. They practiced for the next two hours before calling it a day. Before leaving, Mr. Haverty took Jared over to a girl who Jared knew from his history class. "This is Lisa Jent, and she does most of our wardrobe work. She'll need to get some measurements from you for your costume. If you could just take your shirt and pants off, this will just take a minute." Jared could feel his face redden. "But, can't she just do it over my clothes? I mean, we're here in front of all these kids, I can't just strip down here." Ron and Freddy had come up to stand with Ron's sister, and were enjoying Jared's discomfort. Lisa was smiling, but Mr. Haverty was not. "But Jared, you do understand when we perform you will be wearing even less then your underpants, don't you? If you can't undress here, then we will have a problem later. I hope you don't need to re-consider the role; you read very well for it." Jared remembered Brad's words from yesterday that if he got the lead he would not back down. They hadn't discussed what would happen if he did, but Jared didn't want to find out the hard way. With his face turning even redder, he started unbuttoning his shirt. "Don't worry too much about it" Lisa said; "I've already seen you naked." When Jared looked shocked she said "That day in gym, when we had the physicals. I was in the girl's class that day. After the show you put on then, standing here in your boxers should be no big deal." Jared could feel his dick starting to come to life as he remembered that day. Hoping he could avoid getting a boner, he quickly removed his pants. The kids who hadn't left suddenly became aware of the new boy standing there in his boxers and gathered around to watch. Lisa grabbed a tape measure and got Jared's waist measurement. She then reached a hand up inside one of his leg openings. She worked past his balls until she could feel the base of Jared's dick, and measured from there to the bottom of his boxers. She could feel his penis growing stiffer, and took several additional measurements that made no sense to Jared. As he became erect, she even reached across took a measurement from one hip to the opposite side of his groin, the cloth measuring tape sliding across his dick. His erection was now clearly visible to the watching kids. Finally she said she had enough, and Jared was free to get dressed again.
