Shortly after his parents got home his father called him out of his room in a stern voice. "Tell us what happened, and it better be the truth," he said. Jared quickly related the story he had told the police officer. When he finished, his mother said, "Ashley thinks you need a special program she has found on the Internet, but this sounds like idle play to me. Very stupid, but idle. Were there just these two times?" Jared remembered his sister's warning to deny any other episodes. "Yeah, mom, that it. Just twice. And once wasn't even meant for anyone to see me, it was just my friends playing a practical joke. I don't even think anyone saw me, it might not even be one of the events the officer heard about." "Mom, that's not true. Ask him for his wallet," Ashley said. "Why, what does his wallet have to do with this?" their father asked. "He left his wallet on the counter the other day, and I was looking to see if he had change for a five. Ask him for his wallet and you'll see what I mean." His father held out his hand, and Jared reluctantly handed over his wallet. As soon as his father flipped it open, he saw the picture of Jared naked on Elm Street. He showed the picture to his wife, who blushed and turned away. "See dad? It's like I said, he's enjoying the thrill, daring anyone to catch him. And according to what Lois and I found on the web, it will get worse. This time the police are going to let him off, but what about next time?" "But to turn all discipline over to you, including spankings..." their mom started. "Look on page 11, it says the training is most effective if done by a younger sibling. And the spankings are for humiliation only. I read it dad, it clearly says to use the hand or a small brush only, and to stop when he turns red. See here on this page: 'If done properly, bruising will never occur. If a bruise does appear, too much force was used.' I know this sounds weird, but I believe it will work." "I don't know honey, seeing your brother naked, spanking him, it sounds so, well, indecent." "It's supposed to be. According to the studies, he wants the dare, not to get caught. But each event requires a little more, and a little more, and soon it's out of control. The humiliation teaches him." She paused, looking back and forth at her parents, who were looking at each other. "There's a measure of success too. It says that better grades occur nearly all the time. He never gets anything better than a C, try it until the end of the first grading period and see how he does. "Besides, it's not like I'm completely on my own. Jared can always go to you to say when something I did was unfair or cruel. And you can still check on him whenever you want. I'm just worried that if you don't do something soon that he's going to keep on doing it, and I don't want to be known as the 'sister of the pervert' to all the kids in school." Ashley stepped back to the side, leaving Jared to face his parents. His mother looked to his father for a decision. "Look Jared, what Ashley is talking about is removing the door to your room, taking away all your privacy. You would be naked all the time you are home, even if your friends, or her friends, are over. How do you feel about that?" Ashley stood behind their parents where Jared could see her. She was shaking her head back and forth, and holding her palms together in front of her to indicate the response she wanted him to give. "No dad, you can't do that, it isn't right. She can't see me naked, she's my sister. I promise, it was just the three times, I'm not a pervert, it won't happen again." "But she's right, until you get arrested, how would we know? We didn't know about the first three times. Was it really only three times, or were there more?" Ashley was shaking her head up and down, and held up one finger. "There was one other time too I guess," Jared mumbled, staring at the floor. His parents looked at each other, and both nodded their heads. "I'm sorry, Jared, but I think you sister may be on to something here. We're going to try this for the rest of the marking period, if you're grades improve maybe we'll reconsider. Until then, you are to do whatever she tells you, whether you like it or not. But, if you think she has gone too far, you call your mother or me." "What about his allowance dad?" Ashley asked. "He's not supposed to have any freedoms unless I allow it, but if he has money he can go to the movies or stuff." "Good point Ashley. I'll hang onto his allowance while we try this out. Jared, if you need money, you tell your sister and she'll get it from me and give it you. Understand?" "Yes dad" he said, still staring at the floor. He was in debt to his sister, and without his allowance he wouldn't be able to pay her back. And as long as he owed her money, he wasn't allowed to masturbate without her permission. Things had just gotten a lot worse. "Then go remove your clothes, and take your curtains down, then take your door off," his dad said to him. "But I don't think I'm ready to eat meals with him naked," he said to Ashley. "I'd like you to let him dress for that." "I'd planned on it. Sometimes you or mom has company over who wouldn't understand, so I was planning on letting him be dressed whenever he was in your part of the house." "That's a good plan," their father said. "I guess we'll try this for now, but we'll monitor it closely. I'll call the school and let them know about it tomorrow." He turned to his wife and grabbed her hand. "Are you sure you're comfortable with this?" he asked her. "No, I'm not, but you heard him stand right there and lie about it twice. I think we have to try this program. And if he gets good grades, well, that's even better" she answered as they left the old house and headed across the walk to their portion of the house. Ashley walked in to watch her once-again naked brother as he removed the door to his room. "How much do you owe me now?" "Sixty dollars" he answered while removing the last of the curtain rod screws he had just put back in a few hours ago. "No, you're wrong. It's an even one hundred dollars." He turned to look at her, but before he could say anything she added "It went up when you decided you weren't going to earn the pledge cards anymore. Oh, and the interest changed to ten dollars a week. And cumming without permission is now twenty five. Unless you want to go and tell mommy." She waited a second to see if he wanted to comment, and when he didn't she continued. "From now on, you will tell me every time you cum. If I find out you shot without permission and you didn't tell me before I find out myself it will cost you fifty dollars instead of twenty five." Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked out. Saturday morning, Jared had two plans. First, he called Adam's house to see if his mother needed someone to watch Luke and Gary, since he needed some money fast. He was in luck; Luke's mom wanted to go shopping for a few hours and would gladly pay him to come over. They agreed on meeting at noon. Next he went to see Scott Vanderville, who was holding two of Jared's cards ransom in exchange for some devious plot. Scott was in ninth grade at the same school Jared went to. "Did you get the other two cards back yet?" he asked. "No, just one of them. Lois has the last one and she's holding out for something special." "That's okay, I've talked to my uncle and we can go ahead with my plan. Do you have any money?" "No, in fact I owe my sister a ton of money." "Boy, she's really got you by the balls, doesn't she?" Scott said. His comment reminded Jared of the fish hooks the girls had put in his balls. Jared nodded. "Never mind the money for now, I've got an idea, but you're going to have to borrow money from me too." "How much, and what's the interest?" Jared asked, staring at the ground. "Think of it as a card for me and just accept it. It'll be horrible, but not as bad as what you've been through. Can you come somewhere with me now?" Scott took them to a building with the sign "Butch's Tattoo and Body Piercing" on the front. A "Closed" sign was hanging on the door but Jared could see a light on inside. Scott used a key to open the door and let them in. He led Jared inside and locked the door behind him. "You're underage, so my uncle is going to do this while the store is closed." "Do what Scott, I can't get a tattoo, my parents would find out eventually." "No, not a tattoo, although you could get one if you wanted. Naw, he's going to put a 'D' ring in your balls with an ID tag on it. You're about to become my property. And I get to train you." Jared stepped back away from him. "Explain what you mean, especially that part about the ring in my balls, and about training me." "Its nothing really, don't get too excited. The ring is tiny and is behind your balls so even if you're naked most people won't notice it. I could go a lot of different directions, but I think I'll stay real simple, get you to obey a few simple commands like I was training a dog. Here's the deal, if you want the cards back, you agree to this. I'll pay for the ring, and you are mine until you pay me back. I'm only going to humiliate you, not sell you or anything. I might make you clean my room, but nothing like a slave. Think of yourself more as a puppy. And once you've repaid me for my expenses here, then you get the cards. The ring you can keep, or my uncle will remove it. He might even buy it back off you. What do you say; you want the cards, don't you?" "I want the cards, but I'm not sure about this. I don't want nothing put in my balls, can't we do this some other way?" "Its no big deal, it's just a ring, kind of like this" he said, lifting the front of his shirt. He had a small ring attached to the skin around his belly button. "Yours will be just like this only it will have a small ID tag on it. He can numb it for you so it doesn't hurt, but I let him do this without anything, all you feel is just a quick poke. Can't be any worse than a fish hook. Besides, it'll be fun." "Yeah, for you, but you said you were going to humiliate me, so I doubt that I'll have any fun." "Oh, don't worry too much about that. I can't call you a slave or people would get the wrong idea, so instead you'll just be my little puppy." Jared still wasn't sure, but he really did want the cards back. "And after I pay you back its over, we stop pretending? And how much will it cost me?" "The piercing is $40, but because you're like family he'll do it for the same price he charged me, $20. The training ring is another $40. Then there is the pack, which costs $50. I won't charge you for the collar. That's $110. You'll have to come back in four days to make sure there's no infection, and that will cost $10, but I'll pay that for you. So just one hundred and ten dollars, and you can keep the ring if you want when we're done. And I have a plan to make it easy for you to earn some money to pay me back with. It should all be over with in a few weeks." Jared knew it couldn't be that easy, but he had to have those cards. He suddenly had a scary thought, what if he backed out of this and his sister asked him what he was doing to honor the pledges, what would she do then? He began to think this could be a lot better than fish hooks. "Okay, let's do it before I change my mind." Scott took him around back where a small man with black hair and lots of muscle was smoking a cigarette while watching an old show on a small television. "Uncle Tom, this is Jared, the one I told you about. Jared, this is Tom, or Butch as his customers usually call him." "You decided do this?" Jared told him he had. "Then drop your drawers and have a seat on the chair." He pointed to a padded chair with a paper cover just like Jared was used to at the doctor's office. Tom pulled a cart around that contained a big device that said it was a sterilizer, and snapped on a pair of surgeon's gloves. "Let's have a look here," he said, inspecting Jared's balls. "You've already got a hole, have you been trying to do this yourself?" Rather than try to explain it to him, Jared said he had, and Scott helped him out with the lie. "That's why I brought him here as soon as I found out." "He's going to make a good slave if he's willing to try to do this by himself, but that don't excuse bad habits. Too easy to get a nasty bug that way; but these holes do look clean. I'm going to use them instead of poking new ones." He looked up at Jared as he tore open an alcohol swab. "This is going to feel cold, and then I'm going to run the wire through. You probably won't even feel that. I'll pull the ring in with the wire, seal it closed, and we're done. If you want Novocain, I can do it, but it costs extra and it ain't worth it, this don't hurt at all, as you probably discovered already there ain't many pain nerves in the skin of your sack." Jared said, "Just do it, I'm kind of nervous, so get it over with." He lay back into the chair and stared at the ceiling. "That's the way to be, I'll be quick and clean, you just relax." Jared felt the cold from the alcohol, then a small poke. He felt the ring being pulled through, but Tom was right, it didn't hurt. He looked back down just in time to see Tom use a big tool to squeeze a cap over the two ends of the ring. The ring was silvery colored, and had a small tag attached to it. "Do I have to do anything special?" he asked. "It's surgical stainless, so you don't need to take it out. Just clean your balls every day with one of these swabs. It should heal in a day or two." Tom handed Jared a stack of alcohol swabs, and then told Jared to stand up. As soon as he was standing, Butch gently grabbed Jared's balls and tugged them down. Using his free hand, he swung a leather collar around the skin at the top of his sack, using some kind of tool to tighten it down. Jared could feel two sharp prongs poking into his skin. Butch snapped a leash onto the ring, handing the free end to Scott along with the tool. Jared didn't like the idea of a training ring, and Scott hadn't said anything about a leash, but it was probably too late now. Jared tried to see the tag, but he couldn't make out the words. "It says 'Property of Scott Vanderville' to show that you have agreed to this," Scott said. "Don't let the leash scare you, we're just kids so we can't use it hardly anywhere. I just want to see how it feels." He gave a very soft tug on the leash and then said, "Heel, Jared!" Jared was stunned, not expecting anything like this at all. When he didn't step in behind Scott, Scott whipped his end of the leash across Jared's dick, not hard enough to hurt, but enough to sting. Scott repeated the command. This time Jared got up from the chair as soon as Scott gave the tug, which was just a little stronger than before. "Good puppy," he said to Jared. "Before you guys run off to play, you owe me for the ring and the installation. What price did you tell him Scott?" Tom asked. "I said you would do it for one hundred ten, forty for the ring and twenty to put it in, fifty for the training collar and waist band." Tom smiled and said to Scott, "Boy, you are trying to drive me into bankruptcy. You guys are minors, and I'll bet he don't have his mommy's permission. I can't do this for one- ten. Try one-fifty." "That's too much you robber. He's like family to me. He'll pay one-thirty and not a cent more." "Wait a minute," Jared said. "You told me a hundred and ten." "I thought he would do it for that, but he says no. You're still getting a bargain at one hundred thirty. It won't be that much longer until you pay me off." Scott dropped the leash and dug in his wallet for the money. Jared walked over to a mirror to look at how he looked to Scott. "One of the rules is that when the leash is attached you don't wonder around by yourself. I'll have to work on teaching you to stay while we're at school," Scott said, picking up the end of the leash again. "At school! You can't do this at school. I thought you said this was just you and me!" "And slaves, I mean puppies, don't yell back at their masters if they know what's good for them. Say you're sorry and that you'll be a good puppy and I'll forget it this time," Scott said. While talking, Scott had put a belt around Jared's waist and was connecting two wires from the back of the belt to the ball collar. Jared knew he was trapped again. "I'm sorry; I'll be a good dog." "No, you're not a dog yet, that takes a while. You're a puppy. Say you'll be a good one and I'll give you a treat." Jared could feel his ears burning. "I'll be a good puppy. But please don't do this at school." Scott tossed him a dog biscuit. "Here you go puppy, eat this. And I want to see your tail wag while you eat it." At least Tom had gone back to his television show and was ignoring them. Jared took a tentative bite of this biscuit. It was dry, but tasteless. He wiggled his ass back and forth as he ate it while Scott stood there with a big grin. Once the last of the biscuit had been swallowed, Scott took the leash off. "You can get dressed now," he said. While Jared was putting his pants back on, Scott said, "When the leash is on, you're a puppy, and you belong to me. When the leash is not attached, you're Jared. If I put the leash on you and leave, other people have to know you're a puppy, so here are some rules. Make several copies, and keep them in your wallet. If I ask you for one, you'd better have one." He handed a printed paper to Jared. Jared scanned the paper. It said, "If I'm wearing the leash, I am a puppy, and I belong to Scott Vanderville. I only do what my owner tells me to do, and if you get me or my master in trouble, you will pay the consequences. You can remove the leash unless my master has told me to keep it on. Questions can be answered at Butch's Tattoo Shop." "I don't really have to give this to people, do I? "If anyone picks up the leash and I'm not right there, then you have to give them one. A lot of people know my uncle, even some kids at school. It may be embarrassing to give them one, but it should help to keep you out of trouble. Don't be afraid to bring anyone here, my uncle or the rest of the staff will deal with them, kids or adults. And since you belong to me, they will leave you alone. It isn't as bad as it sounds." "What do you have planned for the rest of today? Maybe we can work on some simple commands," Scott said. "I'm supposed to be babysitting in a few minutes." "Well, we'll find some time Monday in school. Like I said, I'm going to get as much humiliation fun out of this as I can. You're not mine permanently like real slave boys; I only have you until you earn the cards and repay the money. But I have to be careful too and make sure an adult doesn't see me training you. Most of them wouldn't understand." "Come with me puppy," he said, leading Jared back by the windows. Jared frowned, but walked along. Scott brought him over by the big glass window that looked out onto the sidewalk and the street beyond. The blinds were closed, but Jared could see the sunlight filtering in. "Drop your pants and boxers, and begin beating off" he said. He snapped the leash back on as soon as Jared's boxers went down. Jared hesitated, but as his dick began to harden, Scott suddenly lifted the blinds, and Jared could see several people walking past. He scrambled, almost falling over his pants, until he was behind a display case. "Puppy, we really need to work on the stay command," Scott said, picking up the leash again. He gave a small tug and headed back over by the window. Jared stayed where he was, and after a few hard pulls that almost pulled Jared over, Scott gave up. He unclipped the leash and put it in his pocket. From another pocket he pulled out a small black controller. Using a tool to open it, he put in some batteries and turned a switch. Jared immediately jumped and yelled more from the surprise than the pain as several quick shocks were administered to the collar on his balls. "You have an E-collar on your sack, it's designed to teach dogs not to bark. It gives six levels of shocks, that one was level 3. I can make it shock you whenever I press the button, or when I release the button." Scott turned a switch inside the controller and then held down the button while he snapped the controller closed. Then he released the button for a second to accent his words. "The windows are tinted, nobody can see in when it's light outside. If you had trusted me and stayed where you were, I would have cut you a break and worked on your training after school. But since you didn't listen, we'll do it in school. Don't forget the instructions. Scott was holding down a button on the remote as he talked. "Go ahead and get dressed, and come and see me when you come back from Adam's house." Once Jared had his pants pulled up, Scott put the remote in his hands. As soon as he released the button, the shocks started again until he closed Jared's thumb over the button. "It's like an electric fence, about 30,000 volts but just a tiny bit of current. It hurts like hell though, don't it. Don't lose the remote, the batteries in the belt will run for about 4 hours." He unlocked the door and held it open till Jared left. As he left the store, Jared walked back to the window. No matter how hard he tried, all he could see was his own reflection; he couldn't see anything inside the store. Jared headed towards Kevin's house, keeping his thumb over the button while trying to keep the device in his pocket out of sight. He arrived a few minutes early, but Kevin's mom thanked him anyway and yelled for Luke. Luke showed up a few seconds later with Gary right behind him. "Come on," he said, pulling on Jared's arm. "My brother said we can play at the fort." They took off at a slow run. Jared realized this would be the first time he had ever gone to the fort with clothes on. He wasn't too sure if he would still be wearing them when he left though. Kevin, Adam, and Brad were all there when they arrived. 'You're early, that's cool. It gives us more time for fun," Adam said. "Wait a minute, I thought this was a real sitting job, not more torture," Jared said. "It is, this is just fun. You don't even have to get undressed except for taking your shirt off. We'll all take a turn, we just thought we'd start with you" Kevin said. "What's that thing you're holding in your pocket?" Luke asked. Jared hesitated. "Come on, we've got a video of you and the password to your web site, don't make us use them. Show us what you're hiding," Adam said. Jared slowly pulled the remote out, keeping his thumb on the button. "What is that, a bomb?" asked Gary, backing away. "No, it's just this thing I have to hold down for a kid named Scott," Jared began, but Brad had come up behind him and grabbed the remote from his hand. "Give me that," he said, and as Jared's thumb slipped off the button the five boys were surprised to see Jared bend over and jump up and down as he yelled "Press the button, press the button." Brad pressed the button for a second and then released it, watching the reaction in Jared. Then he pressed it again. "I think you'd better show us" he said to Jared. Jared undid his pants and dropped them to his ankles, followed by his boxers. Everyone saw the collar around the top of his balls with the two wires on it running to the belt; it wasn't until Gary did a closer inspection that he saw the ring through the back of Jared's sack. "You know, I think we'd like to take your shirt off and get on the board," Brad said, allowing one more zap to emphasize his words. As soon as he was bound, Adam explained the rules. "We're going fishing for information. This time, there's no time limit, when we get bored we stop. But if you make it too easy on us, we'll use the thing Brad is holding. So my advice is to put up with as much of the torture as you can before you answer a question. Kevin started by picking up the ointment. Seeing the sudden look of fear on Jared's face, he said, "Don't worry, we ruled the piss hole as off limits. But your balls aren't. So tell us who Scott Vanderville is, and tell us about the collar and the ring." Jared started to answer, then remembered to resist. Kevin started by letting Luke and Gary tickle him, but Jared was able to keep from giving up until the third time they stopped just long enough to let him catch his breath. As soon as Kevin let them start tickling again, Jared said "Stop, I can't breathe. Scott Vanderville is a kid in school. He took my pants when I threw them out the window, and found two pledge cards in my wallet. One of the cards was the one you guys signed." "That was pretty good, you really made these two boys work for that bit of information. But what about the stuff?" And on it went, the boys learning the story one piece at a time. Jared was holding out pretty well, but once they started using the ointment, he started to break down, especially when they kept putting it on the same spot on his balls time after time. When Jared got to the part about the picture in his wallet, they pulled his wallet from his pants and looked at it. "Is that really you walking naked down the middle of a street in the middle of the day, or was it faked?" Adam asked. Jared told him it was real, knowing that Adam was already plotting something. "I want another picture to put in his wallet, one taken at school" Adam said. "Kevin, that camera can take still photos too, can't it?" "It sure can, no problem at all. I take it we're heading for the school?" "Yeah, I know just where I want the picture taken," Adam said. "But first, let's see if he has anything else interesting to tell us." They went back to learning more of what happened, gradually getting it a piece at a time and then verifying that he told the truth with more torture until they were satisfied they had the whole story. Jared was proud of himself because they never used the shocking device. "You really did great," Brad said, and the others all agreed. "This was the most fun we've had in a long time." He looked at Adam and Kevin and said, "We told him if he made it fun we'd go easy on him." "Yeah, we could even let him torture one of the kids if we had a little more time," Brad said, "but Gary and I need to get home soon." Gary and Luke both looked very relieved at that. "But if we're going to do anything else we had better get started, it's getting late." They untied Jared and let him put on his shorts and shirt and they were off. When they got near the school though, Gary and Luke turned to the right when everyone else turned left. "I thought we were heading to the school," Gary said, and then he suddenly realized his error. "Oh, you meant your school." He sounded disappointed. "Why can't we take two pictures?" asked Brad. "It won't take that long to go to both schools. If we go to the elementary school last we can cut down Apple Lane and still be home before Gary and I are late." With that settled, they headed for the middle school. When they got there, Adam pointed at the sign in front of the school. It was on the grass, just off Patterson Road, which had cars parked on it and occasional traffic. "I don't know about that" said Kevin. "There's a lot of traffic here. If someone sees him and calls the cops, we're all busted." "But we can control it" said Adam. "He takes off everything except his shorts and stands next to the sign. You get the camera ready, and when everything is set we check for traffic and when it's clear we say go. He drops his shorts, you take a picture, and he pulls the shorts back up. We can do it all in fewer than ten seconds." Kevin was considering it, and finally agreed. He found the best place to stand to frame the picture so it would show the sign with Jared leaning on it and the street. He was just about ready when a girl came walking down the sidewalk. "Run up there and tell him to drop his pants as soon as she is even with the sign, and then get out of the picture," Kevin said to Gary, who ran down to where Jared was standing. Jared watched the girl, and as she passed he quickly shed his shorts. He heard two clicks and then Kevin lowered the camera and Jared quickly pulled his pants back up. "It was perfect," Kevin said. "With the perspective it will look like she's still in front of the sign when we took the picture. I took two just to be sure." "Now let's go to my school," Luke said. They set up a shot on the basketball court that had the school in the background. Kevin had Luke take off his shirt, and Gary his shoes and socks. "The theme is that you guys are playing strip horse, and he lost. Jared, I want you to hold both your arms like you were shooting a basketball as I take the picture." Once again, they made sure no traffic was around and set the shot, and Kevin took two more pictures. Then they headed back towards home. When they got close, Adam asked how long Brad and Gary had before they were supposed to be home. Brad looked at his watch and said, "fifteen minutes, but if we're a little late it will be okay. What do you have in mind?" "Well, I don't know about you guys, but my dick is really sore. I was thinking maybe someone here could kiss it and make it feel better." Everyone knew exactly what he meant, and they headed back to the fort as fast as they could. They followed Kevin back to his father's den, when Kevin told Luke to keep an eye out for their mother. He started everything up and quickly downloaded the memory from the camera to the computer. Kevin did a little editing, and then printed the best two pictures on high-quality paper. He handed them to Adam, who nodded his head in approval before showing them to Luke. Adam handed the pictures to Jared and said, "Keep those in your wallet until you earn our card back." "Okay boys, I think its payday," Kevin said, leading the way. His mother was already home, and gave Jared fifty dollars. As soon as they got Jared outside, Adam held out his hand. Jared pulled the money Kevin's mom had given him and handed it over to Adam. "I think we should share this with Luke and Gary too, they worked just as hard as we did this time," Adam said. He opened his wallet and pulled out some ones to replace a ten, and then counted out five stacks of eight dollars each. "One share for each of us," Adam said, handing out the five stacks of money. Luke and Gary were overjoyed to learn that not only did they get a chance to humiliate a big kid, but that they got paid for it too. Adam handed the rest of the money to Jared. "Let's do this again next weekend," he said to Jared. "Come on man, I really need some money. You guys are ripping me off." "Yeah, it sucks to be you. Maybe next time we will let you earn it on the board. The longer you go, the more you can keep. How's that sound?" Jared mumbled something, but then his thumb slipped off the button and the shocks started again until he could press it down. His thumb was getting tired from the pressure. He headed back to Scott's house to see what he had to do there.
