Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:29:09 -0400 From: Chris Johns Subject: The Flogging Pt.2 Usual rules Everyone. This part is quite short because Acteon is away from his lover. The Flogging. (That still didn't happen.) Part 2 Acteon had not seen his parents for more than a year, and would happily have not seen them again if he could be with David. His father's greeting was formal and detached, his mother's was certainly as detached, but at least she kissed him on the cheek. Richard St.John-Cox had returned to England to receive a knighthood from Queen Victoria. He was more than a little put out when Acteon showed more interest in when he could return to school than he did at the thought that he was going to meet the Queen at his father's investiture. He started to pay more attention to this very confidant young man that he had sired. "You must love school very much to want to go back early Acteon." Acteon blushed but replied confidently. "Yes Sir, I do. Mr. Cockburn is an inspiring headmaster." "What would you do, and where would you stay if you went back early? "Oh, have you not read the letter sent to you two terms ago concerning my accommodation?" Richard was a little flustered now. He remembered receiving a letter from the headmaster, something to do with Acteon being bullied by a teacher and being moved out of the house he was in. "Of course, of course, just remind me, I have so many letters from England when I'm away." He saw the disappointment on his son's face and looked down. "I would return to the headmaster's house Sir, and carry out extra studies to give me a head start next term. Mr. Cockburn is an excellent tutor, and has rather taken me under his wing." "Oh, ah, yes, well in that case you can return after my investiture if you like." "Thank you Sir, would you like me to inform the headmaster and arrange my train ticket?" Richard was not used to a dominant and confidant teenager and just agreed with everything. Acteon was delighted, he ran off to telephone the railway company to book a ticket and then David, passing him details. For the next few days he confused his parents. A sad little boy came down from school, but a very happy little boy was preparing to return to school early, amazing. Acteon saw his father receive his knighthood, met the Queen and had tea at the palace, all with less enthusiasm than he exhibited packing his bags to return to school. Tears from his mother when he left and a handshake from his father. "It was very nice to see you again Sir, I hope you and Mama have a safe journey back to wherever you are going." Richard realised then that he had not even told his son of his next appointment. "We are going to Africa, Son, I expect this appointment will be for five years." Acteon was delighted. "How exciting Sir, I am sure that will not be a problem. I will ask Mr. Cockburn if I can remain with him until I go to university." Richard just nodded, shook his son's hand and returned home. He realised he had been a less than enthusiastic father and felt guilty, and maybe a little jealous that this headmaster was so admired by his son. He felt even worse when he got details of David Cockburn. He was, firstly, quite young for his position, secondly he was a Cambridge Blue, so patently a good sportsman and finally he had a national reputation as a first class progressive headmaster for the end of the nineteenth century. David was at the station to meet his young lover but, of course, acted very decorously. The drive back to school was full of gentle touches and eye contacts that oozed love, the horses were so well trained they knew the way almost, giving the two lovers chance to enjoy each other. Once in the house David almost devoured Acteon who returned the kisses and hugs in full measure. "Oh David, I have so missed you." "And I you my beautiful boy." With only a few days before the start of the new term David knew he would have little time to pleasure his angel so he decided to devote the next day to that pursuit. The housekeeper was given the day off so that complete privacy could be maintained anywhere in the house. "Now my little sex kitten, tomorrow neither of us are going to wear any clothes. Anytime that one of us sees the other with an erection he has to do something about it, how does that sound?" To a fourteen year old, very much in love that sounded marvellous. "Oh yes David that will be lovely. Every time I have an erection it will be because I want to feel you inside me whichever end you fancy." David picked Acteon up, hugged him tight as he planted kisses all over his face and told him the same thing. Mrs. Brewster called that dinner was served and noticed as the two arrived in the dining room how quickly David had changed. For the previous ten days he had been morose, uncommunicative and quite withdrawn, now he was behaving like a teenager. She realised then how much he loved this little cherub he had brought into his home. Luckily, she thought the same as everyone else that saw them outside of school, that this was a father/son type of love. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trouble brews in the next part.
