Chapter 20 - Jason's second speech

Jason's life returned to normal that Sunday afternoon, when he 
and Cecilia woke up and he had to return to his room. He got 
cleaned up, and then, without bothering to get dressed, returned 
to his studies. He knew that Ken was due back mid-afternoon and 
that Lisa and Mike would be back late in the evening. He decided 
to help Ken get ready for class the next day, but it was obvious 
that Lisa and Mike would have to make up their studies later in 
the week.

When Ken returned to Huntington Hall from his vacation, he 
decided to get cleaned up and head over to Jason's room. As had 
been normal for him since the beginning of the semester, he 
walked down the hallway to the bathroom naked, in silent protest 
against the university's inadequately small towels. From the 
bathroom he went straight to Jason's room, knowing that Jason 
probably would not be dressed either. 

The two freshmen relaxed for a few minutes as they talked about 
Thanksgiving and gossiped about Mike and Lisa. Jason gave Ken a 
very censored version of what happened in Wisconsin, 
concentrating on the one pleasant part of the trip, the visit to 
his grandmother's condo. The conversation then drifted to the 
more urgent topic of what still needed to be done to get ready 
for finals. Ken went back to his room to pick up his notebooks, 
and returned still completely nude, not bothering to get dressed. 
For the next several hours the two freshmen sat on towels on the 
floor, going over the material covered in the final two weeks of 
classes.

For two college-age men, there was an unusual intimacy between 
Jason and Ken. They had been together constantly throughout the 
semester, ate together, studied together, worked out together, 
had gone streaking together, and had shared a lot about their 
lives with each other in general. They both enjoyed being naked 
and each was happy to have found a friend who also enjoyed being 
naked. Because of their closeness and casual attitude about not 
wearing clothing, they felt perfectly comfortable sitting 
together in the nude. However, from Jason's end at least, the 
relationship was completely platonic.

Ken's interest in Jason was mostly friendship, but it also 
included an element of sexuality. At a time in his life when he 
was struggling to determine what he wanted from his personal 
relationships, Ken found himself somewhat attracted to Jason. He 
enjoyed looking at Jason's body and loved being naked around him. 
He always looked forward to the life drawing classes when Jason 
was modeling and having the opportunity to render his body to 
paper. Had the issue come up, he gladly would have exchanged 
massages with his friend and tried to increase the level of 
physical contact between them. 

Ken was not really sure what he saw in Jason. He was not even 
sure what exactly he would have wanted from his friend, even if 
Jason were gay and available. It was not exactly sex, nor 
romance: but rather intimacy. What was confusing for Ken was 
that, while he was vaguely attracted to Jason, he also was 
vaguely attracted to Lisa. Night after night he fantasized about 
those few minutes he lay naked over her lap, getting his bottom 
spanked while Mike and Jason watched. He totally loved that 
experience and was horribly jealous that Mike had Lisa in his 
life and he didn't.

Once they finished reviewing the study materials for Burnside's 
class the following day, the two freshmen returned to talking 
about their personal lives and about Cecilia in particular. Jason 
was in a pensive mood, and decided to share a bit more about his 
life with his friend. He provided an abbreviated summary of the 
car wreck and the effect it had on him during his final months in 
high school. He then talked about how important Cecilia had 
become in his life and emphasized that she was the reason he had 
enjoyed a successful semester.

As he continued thinking out loud in Ken's presence, Jason 
examined himself and why he had become so committed to submitting 
to Cecilia. He realized that when he was with Cecilia he felt 
safe. The more he submitted to her, the more protected he felt. 
He realized that before he met her, his soul had been full of 
fear: that he had been actually afraid of his own vacillating and 
self-destructive nature. Cecilia was important to him precisely 
because she refused to tolerate those weaknesses. Instead, she 
insisted that, whatever weaknesses he might have in his 
character, he was expected to overcome them.

Jason moved on to talking about his sex life with Cecilia. He 
realized how much he loved striving to please her sexually, 
because when he brought her to orgasm he was rewarding himself by 
making her happy. There was plenty of pleasure in the 
relationship for him as well, because when she granted him 
permission to enter her, she always sought to ensure he had 
excellent orgasms. The detail he enjoyed the most however, was 
going over her lap. When she was spanking him, she was completely 
in control of his emotions and his physical sensations. Jason 
loved receiving a good spanking, which Cecilia always inflicted 
with love, firmness, patience, and the desire to bring him to 
intense sexual pleasure through moderate, but sensuous, pain.

Jason knew that even the belt-whippings had an important role in 
his life. Unlike being spanked by hand, he hated the belt and was 
afraid of it. He also hated crying in front of Cecilia, but 
during a belt-whipping getting him to cry was an important part 
of the punishment. Still, even though he always hated receiving 
the belt at the moment, Jason understood the cruel whippings had 
helped him. He had entered the university consumed with guilt, 
partly because subconsciously he felt that he had not been 
properly punished for his stupidity from the previous year. With 
Cecilia there was no lingering guilt. If he did something wrong 
she punished him right away. The punishments always resolved any 
guilty feelings from a particular offense, because forgiveness 
and redemption were the ultimate goals of any whipping. Just as 
it was important to her that he was forced to cry during the 
whippings, it also was important that when the punishments were 
over, he understood she had forgiven him and still loved him. 
Unlike his parents, it never would occur to Cecilia to continue 
commenting on an offense that she considered resolved.

When Jason finished talking, Ken thought for a few minutes about 
how much his friend had changed that semester. He had a question 
for Jason.

"So, where do you think you're going with Cecilia? What do you 
think's gonna happen between you two?"

"I'm…I guess I'm just gonna have to do whatever she tells me. We 
talked about it last night, and she sorta laid out our 
situation…and that's…what we agreed on."

"…and it doesn't scare you? I mean, just to do what she says?"

"No. It doesn't scare me at all. What scares me is what might 
have happened if I hadn't met her. That's what scares me."

Ken sighed, somewhat envious of his friend. His own character was 
a lot like Jason's, but unfortunately for him there was no 
Cecilia in his life to force him to focus his energies. He 
remained emotionally adrift, completely unsure of his own sexual 
identity, and scared of having to face the future without anyone 
to give him guidance. He was spending the semester in absolute 
confusion, fantasizing about two friends, both of whom were 
dating other people, and not really knowing what he wanted from 
either. He badly wished that he could find someone, male or 
female, to take control of his life and give him some direction. 

----------

Throughout the afternoon the snow continued to pile up outside. 
The university grounds crews desperately tried to clear the 
streets and the main campus in time for the deluge of students 
returning from Thanksgiving. After lunch, Cecilia's RA 
responsibilities intruded on her studies as she and the other 
RA's received calls from their supervisor ordering them to help 
shovel snow from the sidewalks surrounding Huntington Hall. The 
cold physical labor caused a lot of grumbling among the dorm 
staff, but it was the only way the building's manager could keep 
the sidewalks clear, given the fact the university maintenance 
crews were too busy clearing the streets and parking lots to 
worry about the dorm area. He ordered his employees to take snow 
shovels from a nearby shed and spread out around the building. 
Cecilia's boss then picked up a snow shovel and started clearing 
a stretch of sidewalk alongside his staff, determined to set an 
example by letting them know he was not asking them to do 
something he wasn't willing to do himself.

Cecilia was surprised when she realized she did not mind 
shoveling snow. She was horribly stressed from her unpleasant 
weekend at the Schmidts' house, her upcoming final exams, the 
pending visit from the Danubian Prime Minister, and her other 
responsibilities to Ruth Burnside. She took out her aggression on 
the sidewalk; clearing her own area quickly enough to later help 
one of the other RA's who was moving more slowly. She worked 
herself up into a real sweat as she thought to herself, well, at 
least I'm saved the hassle of having to go to the gym today.

Once the snow shoveling was completed the dorm staff went back 
inside for a meeting and instructions for getting the residents 
through the final three weeks of classes. After a brief break, 
Cecilia and the other RA's had to meet with their residents for 
floor meetings. Jason and Ken were present, sitting together. 
Mike and Lisa were absent, presumably delayed getting back from 
California.

Cecilia exhorted her residents to study for finals, although she 
could tell by the expressions of several residents that they 
already had given up on passing their classes that semester. 
Giving up…no that wouldn't do. She wrote down the names of 
students she felt might be in trouble. After the meeting she 
planned to talk to them, hoping to see which ones still had a 
chance of salvaging their semesters if properly motivated.

That night Cecilia became the perfect picture of authoritarian 
bossiness, as she strutted around the hallway confronting her 
residents about their studies. She spent the next three hours 
talking to several residents and put them in touch with available 
tutors. When Lisa and Mike finally came in following a grueling 
flight from San Francisco, Cecilia immediately confronted Lisa to 
order her and Mike to report to Jason to receive information from 
the floor meeting they had missed and an update on Burnside's 
class. 

Jason and his friends ended up being drafted into their RA's 
efforts to salvage several students' semesters, as she ordered 
them to make themselves available to answer classmates' questions 
and go over coursework. Cecilia knew that in helping others, 
Jason and his friends were helping themselves by learning how to 
explain coursework in a clear, concise manner. Not only had 
Jason's group learned the material by heart, but also, over the 
next several nights they would have to learn how to explain it to 
others. By the end of the semester they would be more than ready 
to provide coherent, well-written answers in their final exams.

After a very busy night, Cecilia escorted Jason to her room to 
receive her usual massage and round of oral sex from her 
boyfriend. She was exhausted from stress, shoveling snow, helping 
panicked residents, and finally from the orgasm she enjoyed as 
Jason's tongue explored her clitoris. He massaged her a second 
time as she fell into a very deep sleep. Jason was relieved. His 
life with his mistress had returned to normal.

----------

The following week was a hectic one for Jason and Cecilia. Jason 
received a second invitation to speak about the Tri-Alpha race to 
a Chicago clothing optional resort for the following Saturday. 
The sponsors of the event also hoped to invite Lisa and perhaps 
allow the organization's members a photo op session. To Jason's 
surprise, Lisa agreed, and Mike agreed to drive both of them to 
the event.

Later in the week there was a problem, the nudist group's 
photographer got sick and there was no replacement. It seemed the 
photo session would have to be canceled, until Jason remembered 
Cecilia's friend, Suzanne Foster. He decided to see if she might 
be available to take pictures. Cecilia passed the request along 
to Suzanne, who agreed to participate. Ken, upon finding out 
about Jason's expedition, asked if he could go as well. In the 
end, what started out as a simple speech turned into a full-day 
event for Jason and four classmates.

Jason's speech was part of an all-day symposium on nudism and 
physical fitness. The day would start with features about the 
origins of nudism in the 1920's and its beginnings as a fitness 
movement. The event sponsors wanted to emphasize that tradition 
and bring exercise and over-all fitness back into the nudist 
lifestyle, to counter the stereotype of a bunch of overweight old 
people sitting around trailers and swimming pools. Jason was 
asked not only to give a speech about the Tri-Alpha race, but 
talk about running in general and lead a panel discussion of 
exercise and what the resort could do to encourage physical 
fitness among its members. In exchange for his efforts, he would 
be rewarded with a year membership and a pass to bring a guest.

Jason had wondered how Cecilia was going to handle being at a 
large full day event at a clothing optional facility during which 
the speakers and most of the audience would be nude. That issue, 
however, never came up. Cecilia got a phone call from Ruth 
Burnside Friday night instructing her to report to the Economics 
Department first thing the next morning. Burnside wanted to give 
Cecilia some final instructions concerning the Danubian visit and 
have her attend a meeting with the other members of the Economic 
Department's student delegation. Cecilia was both disappointed 
and relieved. She was disappointed at not having the opportunity 
to see Jason speak in public, but relieved that she didn't have 
to face the issue of whether or not to take off her clothes in 
front of Jason's friends and a bunch of other people at the 
resort.

After Mike drove the group to the resort and they checked in, the 
students went into a coed locker room and undressed. To 
everyone's surprise Suzanne undressed along with the others. She 
seemed to have such a quiet, conservative demeanor that it was 
hard to picture her comfortable being nude in public. However, 
once she had her clothes off she seemed quite at ease, her pale 
voluptuous body reminding her companions of a Greek goddess 
statue or a Victorian painting. The photographer loaded herself 
with her camera equipment, looking quite strange as she walked 
down the hallway with several camera bags slung over her bare 
figure.

Jason was busy the entire day, jumping from one event to another 
and barely having time to prepare his presentation. Suzanne, as 
usual, spent her time setting up her photography supplies and 
checking lighting. Lisa only had the photo op session to worry 
about, while Mike and Ken had nothing at all to concern them. 
They needed to attend Jason's speech and the symposium he was 
moderating, but apart from that they could relax. The three 
freshmen spent some time in the pool and the sauna while Jason 
talked to the event's organizers and finalized his presentation 
about the race.

When Jason spoke, his friends were impressed with his ability to 
express himself with confidence in front of an audience. He was a 
dynamic and entertaining speaker, capable of using just the right 
amount of humor and antidotes to amuse the audience and draw 
their attention. It seemed that he was a totally different person 
when standing at the microphone. The nervous 18-year-old the 
others knew from their daily lives was completely absent from the 
person standing up on stage.

Following Jason's speech there was a presentation by a 
representative of the Tri-Alphas to discuss the fraternity's 
attitude about nudity and the history of the race Jason had won. 
There was a banquet dinner and finally the photography session, 
which actually was a fund-raiser for a member of the resort who 
had to pay for a cancer operation. As they posed in the nude with 
one resort member after another, Jason and Lisa experienced an 
odd feeling of nostalgia as Suzanne's flash continuously went off 
in their faces for the next couple of hours.

After the photo session ended, Mike and Jason were hoping to head 
back to the university before it got too late. However, Suzanne 
was talking to several resort members who wanted a photographer 
for an upcoming wedding, and Ken was talking to the Tri-Alpha 
representative. 

It seemed no one was going anywhere for quite a while, so finally 
Jason approached the director of the resort to see about getting 
a couple of rooms to stay overnight. He called Cecilia to ask her 
permission to stay at the resort until the next day. She thought 
about it, not happy that her boyfriend would not be returning to 
the university that night. However, he needed to stay because of 
Suzanne and Ken, not because of himself. In the end she gave him 
the permission to make the room reservations, pleased that he was 
smart enough to check in with her before making the decision to 
stay at the resort.

----------

Ken's talk with the Tri-Alpha representative went very well. He 
realized that the fraternity's spirit of adventure, sexual 
openness, and experimentation might be just what he needed. 
Perhaps joining the Tri-Alphas would help him figure out what he 
wanted in life. As he learned more about the fraternity he 
realized he probably would enjoy being a pledge. The prospect of 
being naked in public for an entire semester, submitting to 
sexual servitude to both men and women, and being constantly 
spanked and paddled appealed to him. He liked the Tri-Alphas' 
emphasis on discipline and their focus on academic success. It 
seemed the fraternity gave its members a very strong sense of 
identity and direction, something in his life he felt was 
lacking. Yes, that was indeed what he wanted to do, to pledge 
with the Tri-Alphas.

The Tri-Alpha representative added a detail that made joining 
even more appealing to Ken. He related that each year there were 
a few pledges that joined during the summer, in a sort of pre-
pledge program. The vast majority of members pledged in the fall. 
However, there was an advantage of being a summer pledge, because 
at the end of the August the fraternity normally selected and 
trained a "pledge leader" to handle the group of incoming 
freshmen pledging the following September. Being a pledge leader 
had several advantages and disadvantages. In some ways being a 
pledge leader amounted to pledging twice, because the pledge 
leader was expected to complete a full summer as a pledge, and 
then submit again as a pledge along with the new freshmen. The 
pledge leader had to spend a second semester living in the nude 
alongside the new pledges. He also was subject to the same sexual 
servitude and punishments from upper classmen and sorority 
members that an ordinary pledge had to endure. However, the 
pledge leader was the undisputed ruler of the other pledges. His 
role was to guide the others through their various ordeals and 
challenges, which included the fall 10-K run. His duties included 
training new members to open themselves to new physical 
experiences, ranging from yoga and massage to various sexual 
practices and techniques for sexual stimulation. Another role of 
the pledge leader was to make sure any contact between the 
upperclassmen and the other pledges adhered to the fraternity's 
rules. If someone crossed the line he had the authority to report 
any violations directly to the Tri-Alpha National Directorate. 
The pledge leader had the discretion to punish the other pledges 
as he pleased, within the general fraternity guidelines for 
pledge discipline. 

The Tri-Alpha representative brought up the detail about the fall 
pledge leader position because he sensed right away that Ken 
might be a good candidate for the job. It definitely seemed he 
had what it took to be an enthusiastic Tri-Alpha member. Assuming 
he worked out as a pledge, there was a very good chance the 
fraternity had found its pledge leader for the fall. By the time 
the evening was over, Ken had set up an appointment to visit the 
Tri-Alpha Fraternity for preliminary interviews and to fill out 
paperwork needed to join. If everything went according to plan, 
he would begin his arduous journey to becoming a Tri-Alpha at the 
beginning of June. 

----------

While Jason and his friends were spending a pleasant day at the 
nudist resort, Cecilia was spending a stressful day at the 
Economics Department with Ruth Burnside snapping at her. The 
university's Danubian guests were due to arrive in Chicago that 
following Monday. At the last minute the president of the 
university and Burnside's think-tank associates decided to move 
all reception ceremonies from the airport to the university, 
where the guests could be received in a more controlled setting. 
The change of venue shifted the pressure to the university to 
handle the visit, which in turn forced Burnside and the other 
hosts to frantically call their assistants. The rush had started, 
and would not end until the following weekend when the Danubians 
were scheduled to fly to Washington and then back to Europe. 
Fortunately, Cecilia was not alone in the scramble to get ready 
for the visit. Cynthia Lee from the Political Science Department 
was present, along with several other graduate students. 

The University Memorial Center's reception area was cordoned off 
as caterers began setting up for the upcoming formal dinners and 
conference refreshments. Burnside, her lover Jim Halsey, and 
several other leading economists from the Chicago area set up in 
the conference areas, as their administrative assistants and 
student aides prepared copies of presentations and conference 
packets for distribution. The Prime Minister was planning to give 
two public speeches and a press conference, which required the 
preparation of the university ballroom. There was a horrible 
scare when the two flags sent by the Danubian Embassy went 
missing, a crisis which sent several graduate students scrambling 
around the university to find them. Finally Cynthia Lee 
remembered seeing them in a box at the Music School, and made 
herself the hero of the moment by triumphantly returning to the 
Economics Department with the folded flags in her hands. 

----------

That Sunday night Cecilia and Jason finally had a few hours to 
themselves. Shortly she would have to return to Burnside's 
office, and he would get ready for his Monday classes. She 
escorted him back to her room. As soon as the door was shut he 
dutifully took off his clothes and hung them up. Then he turned 
to see her quietly standing, with her eyes quietly giving him his 
next command. Still, he had to be sure:

"Do you want me to undress you, Cecilia?"

"Please."

She closed her eyes as she felt the articles of clothing slip off 
her body one by one. It felt so good to get all that stuff off. 
Yes, Jason was right. The human body really was not designed to 
be enclosed in clothing. It was so much better to feel the cool 
air of the room against her bare skin…

She issued her next order: "Please pull down my bedspread and 
blanket. Then you can get the massage oil out of the drawer. I've 
been sittin' all day, so I'd appreciate some extra work on my 
upper shoulders and butt."

"Yes Cecilia. I'll try to get you relaxed."

Normally he started massaging her feet and working up to her 
neck, but that night he decided to massage her bottom and 
shoulders first, then give her a full normal massage, and then 
return to her bottom and shoulders. He could tell as he began on 
her lower neck that she really was tensed up, and that night he 
would have to put some time and effort into getting her relaxed. 
He moved to her bottom and massaged it thoroughly, then gently 
kissed both bottom-cheeks with a series of sensuous kisses. 
Cecilia liked having her bottom kissed, especially as part of a 
massage.

Jason then moved to massaging her feet, working each toe 
individually before moving on to the soles and heels. He slowly 
used several techniques on the muscles of her calves and thighs, 
waiting until her legs seemed relaxed before returning to her 
bottom. Cecilia's lovely dark bottom received yet another 
complete deep-tissue massage before Jason worked on her lower and 
upper back. Once again he massaged her upper shoulders and neck. 
His hands were getting tired from his efforts, but it seemed her 
muscles finally were relaxed.

He helped her roll over on her back. He was about to start 
massaging her feet from the front and work up fronts of her legs, 
but she lifted up her arm and pointed at her vagina. That was her 
sign to her lover that she wanted an orgasm before he continued 
massaging her. He dutifully moved his head between her legs and 
began kissing her inner thighs and labia. He realized how much 
she was stressed, because she was not yet wet and seemed far from 
having an orgasm. Not that it mattered. He would continue 
kissing, teasing, and licking her most intimate regions until 
either she climaxed or she directed him to stop. He changed 
tactics several times and began lightly massaging her with his 
fingertips. That seemed to work. She moaned faintly and finally 
some wetness appeared. He returned to teasing her clitoris with 
his tongue. Finally she tensed up and her body shook slightly as 
she came close to climaxing. He continued, licking her entire 
vagina and occasionally returning to her clitoris. His mouth was 
sore and his tongue stiff from his efforts, but only one thought 
was on his mind, ensuring she had a proper orgasm to help relieve 
her stress. Once she climaxed, he would return to massaging her. 
Finally his patience paid off, as he teased her clitoris with the 
tip of his tongue, she climaxed, gasping and filling his nose 
with the scent of her arousal. 

By the time he finished, Jason's mouth was painfully stiff from 
the prolonged effort to arouse his mistress, but he experienced a 
deep feeling of fulfillment. Even though it had been a struggle, 
once again he had succeeded in performing his duty to her. They 
both knew that his purpose in life was to make her happy. 
Tonight, she was very happy and very satisfied, proud of her 
beloved Jason. She reached up and drew him to her, her eyes full 
of pleasure and gratitude. She reached for his penis, gently 
massaging it to let him know that tonight she would reward him by 
granting him permission to enter her. He went stiff immediately 
and she gently slipped a condom on him. When he entered her she 
climaxed again as the stress from both their lives melted away 
for a few exquisite moments in her modest dorm room.

----------

When they finished, they relaxed for a bit. They were tired, but 
both were in the mood to talk. Jason summarized his trip to the 
nudist resort, discussing his speech and the panel discussion, 
Suzanne's photography, and Ken's sudden decision to pledge with 
the Tri-Alphas. Cecilia agreed that pledging with the Tri-Alphas 
probably was a smart decision on Ken's part, given that it was 
obvious he currently had no direction in his life. However, 
secretly she was relieved he was pledging for a much more 
personal reason. Throughout the semester she had worried about 
Ken's possible influence on Jason, especially after the tattoo 
parlor incident. Now it seemed that the problem of Ken was about 
to be resolved on its own, without her having to take any action. 
If he pledged with the fraternity, all of his free time would be 
taken up with his duties to the Tri-Alpha upperclassmen and their 
sorority girlfriends, leaving him no time to socialize with 
Jason. Ken's absence would open up a gap in Jason's life that she 
could fill with her own demands, and thus allow her to continue 
tightening her control over him after the Spring semester.
