Sorn relaxed on the rooftop, watching the clouds drift by and listening to the sounds of the city below him. He relaxed as he rarely allowed himself. Everything was going well for him and his charges and he hoped they would continue to for the foreseeable future. "Sorn! Jerry is coming back!" Flix called out the open window below. "Have him report to me when he gets here!" Sorn went back to relaxing. Soon the youngest lad in his troupe came scrambling up the rooftop to him. "Sorn, You wanted to see me?" "Yea. Do you realize your possibly the WORST thief in this entire city?" "I'm trying! Really i am!" The eight year old whined. "That's the saddest part of it all. You have the heart of a thief. However, you have the hands of a dock worker. Cant pick a pocket or lift a handkerchief. How am i supposed to keep you here if you cant earn your keep?" The young man stared at a big rabbit that floated by in the clouds. "But you cant throw me out! I don't got no other place to go!" The lad was nearly in tears. "Who said anything about throwing you out?" "But...." "I have a job for you to do." "I wont fail! I promise!" "Fail? Hell i would be surprised if you could foul this one up at all." Sorn stood up and stretched. "We need you to work for the healer Jo." "Case his place? Find out where he keeps his gold?" The boy sounded excited. "No. Work. Run errands and such. HE will let you work for him in exchange for him providing his services to our group. We need the services of a healer from time to time and he is willing to do this." "But..." "But what?" "I thought i was going to become a thief like the others." He sounded dejected. "Unfortunately your lot is not this dismal existence. He will teach you and if you show some talent he might take you as a student." "But i WANT to be a thief!" "Want? What kind of idiot are you? Running and hiding all the time. Hoping you don't get caught. Hoping if you do they only take your clothes and flog you in the square? Wondering if you can outrun that mark over there? Come on kid, you cant be that dumb. In fact your the smartest boy i have ever seen. The healer will need a new helper soon. He agreed to let you work for him. It is safe and secure work. Respectable work." "So your kicking me out." The boy turned to leave as tears streamed down his face. "No. You can still live here. In fact i WANT you to stay." "You do?" Jerry looked up hopeful. "Of course silly! I cant keep training thieves all my life. Besides, who else can make me smile like you?" The man held out his arms to receive a heartfelt hug. "Come on. The others are coming back and the moon is rising. It will be dark soon." The two hurried inside to escape the looming night. The single, large room over the bar 'Harpies lair' that served as hideout and home for the small troupe of thieves was filled with warmth and murmurs. "Attention please!" Sorn called out. His effort resulted in immediate silence. "We have come together tonight as we have every night. However tonight is a special night. We big good bye to one of our little pick pockets." The room hummed with murmurs. "Jerry is going to leave our ranks as a thief." A hush fell over the room. "I am not expelling him from the lair. He is graduating in a way. Some have complained about his clumsy hands. Noisy feet. And general ineptness as a scoundrel. So i have secured other employment for him." "Bent over a table downstairs?" Fred mocked to a wave of snickers. "No. Thought you would know about that most wouldn't you?" Sorn mocked the boy. No, he will be working for the Healer Jo, in exchange for him providing us with services as we need them from time to time." "So he's leaving?" Drew mumbled his question. "No. He will remain here living with us. He is one of us after all." "I thought this was a place for thieves only!" Fred grumbled. "It is for whoever i say it is for. I started this place and i can let whomever i want live here." "What if he rats us out?" Fred pushed the point. "He didn't when Moxy the guard got him. I hear you squealed like a rat when he shoved his pole up your alley, if Jerry didn't with that up his ass then i don't think anything could make him talk." Fred chaffed at the memory of his humiliation. The guard Moxy made it a policy to sodomize any thieving lad he caught as a form of punishment and information gathering. This in it' self wasn't as bad as the man doing it in the public square. When Moxy caught the lad filching a man's purse, he stripped the lad in public, flogged him, then questioned him. When the lad lied about the whereabouts of their former home, the guard raped the boy then and there, eliciting a full confession from him and leading to a raid that forced the troupe to abandon the place they had occupied for nearly a full year. Jerry, on the other hand, was caught while trying to pick a ladies brooch. She took great glee in searching out Moxy and handing the child over to the guard personally. Then she watched the man as he gave Jerry a similar treatment. Jerry managed to keep from ratting out his friends thinking they would sell him to the Pink Parasol whore house if he did. So he kept his mouth shut as Moxy took his time and grew increasingly frustrated. Eventually the guard just beat the boy to unconsciousness and left him there on the tier of punishment for the night to come. Sorn himself braved the night to bring the child home. No one took it lightly that the man went out when the city guard, armed with spears and swords, feared to. Sorn never abandoned any of them and they were all happy to see he would start now. "Yea yea. So he stays." Fred had to admit the smaller boy didn't rat them out. If anything that alone deserved his respect. "Now on to our professional business. Income this last week has dropped off. We managed to pay the rent and buy the food but nothing more. Next week will have to be better. The Guild is expecting their tithing and wont take no for an answer. If we don't come up with the 120 gold by the full moon then they will pluck you off the street one at a time and sell you to the wharf peg houses. When your all gone then they will get nasty all over me. That's ten gold each for all twelve of us, this includes Jerry because he is still a thief as far as they are concerned. I will make his position known at the next tithing." "How are we supposed to come up with that much?!" Leo questioned. "I'm glad you asked. There will be a major celebration happening this week. The three days before the full moon are being declared a holiday as the kings daughter takes a husband. parades, parties, celebrations are all going to be happening all over town." "YAY!" A cheer went up at the thought of a pick pocket's dream. "Don't all you cheer." Sorn looked around the room. "At least half of you wont be working the crowds." "Awwwwwwww." The entire group whined. "Now Now! Fred, Greg, Julio, Mars, Drew, Leo, you all will be working the crowds on the North Street section of the wedding parade." The six boy beamed with pride at the assignment. To filch the purses of the wealthy and uptight of the city was a great pleasure they would enjoy. "This means you six will have to take a bath." Sorn smiled. "But we took a bath last month!" Julio griped. "And you will again. Also i have a girl coming in to make you some respectable clothes so you will fit into the crowd easier. Grimy looking urchins will draw attention there, also the city guard will be keeping 'undesireables' out of that section. Once inside security will be lighter. NOT gone but lighter. Keep you eyes peeled. Fred, your in charge of the street operation. Make sure you all are sharp, alert, and know the area." "What about the rest of us?" Willy grumbled. The others got the choice assignment. "We are going to work from the inside." This drew everyone's attention. "The royal palace is in desperate need of serving boys. They don't want girls, it seems the new groom has a taste for the lasses. They need a couple dozen more lads to help serve the grooms party. " "So how does that get us inside?" Kevin asked. "The girl i have doing the other boy's clothes is a seamstress inside. She convinced the Mistress she knew some trustworthy lads and so we have a way in." Sorn smiled widely. "What's in it for her?" Quinn wondered. "A quarter of our take from the inside." "WHAT!??" the room exploded. "Yes a quarter. She is risking her head here. If any of you get caught and talk then we all could be killed. Besides, she has twin babies to feed. Once the operation is over she will leave the city with her cut and start a life somewhere else." "So she's secure there. Why take the chance?" Fred made a valid point. "The father of her boys is the Queen's own husband. IF it came out too the Queen then he would be executed. He is growing worried that word will leak out. He is planning to have her silenced immediately after the wedding." "OH." The boys settled down some. "So this means a complete new outfit for each of you boys, Baths all around," This drew moans and grumbles from everyone. "And some serious planning. No one, and i mean NO ONE, touches anything until the wedding. We case the palace for two days, plan, then hit when the wedding is in full swing." "Sorn, why aint we all inside on this one?" Fred spoke up again. "Because. We only need six inside and i want you to do what you do best. You six aren't cut out for this type of work. Your too old for one, they want young ones who will scare easy, and your too uncouth. No offense but these five lads are much better suited to handling themselves as gentle servants than you." "Fine." "Boy, there is enough potential for you on that street. It is right in front of the palace and every dignitary from three provinces will be there. You could very easily take more in one day than we will net in the tree inside." "Yea right." The teen snorted. "Remember that parade last spring?" Quinn asked. "Mark filched a diamond broach off some uptight that got us two hundred crowns!" "And that was one lucky mark Fred. Where you will be will have dozens. Just be careful and don't get too greedy. You know the routine, just keep your team safe and do me proud!" Two days before the festivities started a girl appeared upon their stoop. "My name is Lidia." She whispered through the crack in the door. Jerry opened it only after getting clearance from Sorn. "Lidia! I thought you would back out!" "Not a chance Sorn. That bastard is going to pay. If he wont take my boys and give them a name at least he will provide for them whether he wants to or not." She carried a large bag with her. "I have all my sewing gear, but i need someone to bring some fabric. Here is a list. Take it to the clothier on Swan street and he will fill the order. It is expensive but very good material." "Jerry! Take this list to the clothier on Swan. It is on your way to the Healers place. Tell him you need the next couple days off to help me. He will understand." With that the lad raced off to his duties. The room was cluttered with three large tubs filled with warm water and ten youngsters standing around looking at the water. Lidia plopped her bag on the table and asked "Who's first? I need to get some measurements before i can make your outfits." The boys all looked at each other. "Come on now i don't bite." "Yes you do!" Sorn teased. "Not boys i don't. At least not this young." She chided back. "Well i might as well get this over with!" Fred growled, as he climbed up on the chair in front of the young lady. She shied back and covered her nose. "I think it would be best if you took a bath first. Besides i can't measure you properly in all these rags." "Sorn!" The boy looked aghast at his mentor. "I told you you would have to take a bath. Now strip!" The man smiled at the lads discomfort. "Not in front of no girl I'm not!" The boy became defiant. "OH for crying out loud!" Lidia reached out and yanked the loose trousers off the boy exposing his hairless genitals to her. "There! Now i have seen them! Get over it and get naked and wet!" Sorn laughed out loud as Fred tried to scramble back into his pants. "NO!" I wont do it." He fumed. "Fred, lad. I was in the crowd the day Moxy buggered you. It isn't like i haven't seen it before. Besides, with equipment like that at thirteen you should be proud! I have it on good authority that the king himself isn't as well endowed there as you are." She cooed into his ear. The boy turned three shades of red as he smiled at her compliment. He was still embarrassed. He didn't have any hair there yet and knew some boys did. Still he shrugged his shoulders and climbed off the stool to walk too the tub. "What are you staring at? We got a job to do and if this is what we need to do to get it done then wee will do it! Right Sorn?" He shot a look at the man hoping for support. "Absolutely! Everyone takes a bath for this one boys!" "Including you? Lidia sidled up to him. "Ummm," The man saw twenty two eyes looking at him hard. "Of course!" He did not want to bathe in front of her and the boys. Either alone would be fine, but together? He hadn't had the manhood talk with them yet. Jerry came struggling back to the Lair with a large package that he could barely lift. Inside he dropped it on the table and stood with open mouth. Every one of his friends was naked and clean or in the tub scrubbing furiously to get that way. Fred stood proudly on a stool without a stitch of clothing on and an erection pointing to the sky, as Lidia carefully measured the lad from head to toe. "Jerry your next in the tub," Sorn spoke from a pad of paper in front of him on the table. "so get naked and drop your clothes in the wash tub over the fire. It's time your clothes got washed anyway." Soon the boy was in he water scrubbing away weeks worth of grime and sweat. He was terribly embarrassed about being naked in front of the woman, but he was less so than when he encountered Moxy on the tier. That night the room was filled with the boy's clothes hanging on lines trying to dry in the warm, moist heat of the summer night. None of them felt the need to dress right away after standing for a good twenty minutes with the lady measuring every part of their nude bodies. Now she sat in Sorn's chair telling them all stories as the night fell around them. She would stay the night of course. Going out at night was against the law and extremely dangerous. From the youngest, thane, to Fred, none cared about the woman seeing them. She was kind and nice and gentle and sweet. She noticed several erection appear and disappear on the youngsters and never drew attention to them in the least. She was fast becoming one of the gang. Sorn snuck off as the boys listened to her stories and was scrubbing hard to get clean for the lady as the boys drooped off to sleep one after another. Soon she had them all covered up with blankets and she walked back to the man in the tub. "Getting clean for me?" She teased. "Of course! I cant expect the boys to do something i wont do myself." "Good, then as soon as your done, get up here for measurements." Soon he stood before her as the boys did, naked as the day he was born. "Is it really necessary for me to be naked?" "Not really. I just told them that so they would take a bath. They smelled something horrible. So did you." "That was sneaky." Sorn smiled as she grinned up at him. "Wasn't it though? Besides, how else was i supposed to get you in bed?" "All you had to do is ask." He leaned down and kissed her. "Besides, I have always found that seeing little boys naked is the most erotic thing. Don't you?" Sorn just looked at her. "Well? Why else would you surround yourself with boys and not girls?" She grinned at him. "Well, until today i hadn't seen most of them naked much. But it was rather stimulating seeing them all that way." HE knelt down to look her in the eye. "I have finished all the measurements i need from you. Let's get to bed." "The boys will have to bathe every day until the festivities. And during them as well." "Why?" Sorn sat on his bed. "Because, they still smell. Years of filth don't come off in one washing. In fact i will bring in some perfumes for their baths the last day. The mistress of the palace will inspect them all and if she gets even a whiff of a fart she will send the boy away." "I understand. They will bathe every day. Even if i have to scrub them myself." The boys didn't even blink when they found her in his bed the next day. It was taken for granted that it would be that way the night before. She left in a hurry to get the clothes done as well as completing her regular duties at the palace. She would return the day before to fit them and do alterations. All the boys wondered at their clothes and she kept it very quiet. They would see them when she returned. The day she left it rained. Hard. All day the rain came down and the boys remained inside and naked. The wetness made it impossible for their clothes to dry properly. Besides, many found they liked the freedom of their nudity. Sorn stood thinking and planning as the lads played their games in their room. He also felt a stirring at the sight of their bodies. He wondered if it had always been there or if it was just that he hadn't been with a woman in several weeks before last night. "Let's get some planning done!" He called. Work would ease his confusion. "Lidia told me as much as she could about the palace last night after you all went to sleep. We can make some plans now." So for the day he strategized. Entries, exits, bedrooms, everything was sketched out and studied. Even the parade route was drawn out and discussed. Everyone had a voice and all ideas were entertained. Soon they all felt the weariness that indicated time for an afternoon siesta. Sorn left the boys long enough tot bring some food from the bar. They all ate and crawled into their beds to think and nap. Soon Cabin fever would strike the boys and Sorn tried to think of something to keep them occupied. "Sorn?" Jerry stood next to the man's bed. "Yes lad?" "Can i sleep here? My bed is wet. The roof is leaking again." "Sure. Crawl in." "Sorn?" "Yes Jerry?" "Am i bad?" "Why do you ask?" "Because." "What is it that makes you ask?" "Being like this feels good. Am i bad?" "Like what?" "Like this! Naked. The bishop of our church told me nakedness is evil. Am i bad for liking it?" "No. I like it too. I like...." "Like what?" "Nothing lad." "No, you told me when i came here we would have no secrets from each other. What?" "I like seeing you naked. I don't know why, i just do." "ME? Why me?" "Not just you. The others too. You all look so beautiful. Not like Lidia is but just as beautiful." "Do you want me the same way?" Jerry asked in a whisper. "I don't know." "Do you want to?" "Jerry..." "It's not like i haven't before. We can try it and if we don't like it not do it again." "It's a sin...." "Bishop said sex between unmarried man and woman is, so is sex between men and other men. Never said anything about a man and a boy. the boy took Sorn's hand and placed it on his chest. "Interesting logic. But what about the others?" "We talked about it. We saw you staring at us. You never have a woman to sleep with, so we figured one of us could help you." "Jerry, but.." "I volunteered. Yours isn't as big a Moxy's. I survived his. Yours should fit fine inside me." "Jerry!" "Sorn. I lied to you." "When?" He was stunned. "All those times i came back with some coins i told you i filched?" "Yea?" "I couldn't do it right so i let the men i was going to steal from bugger me for the coins i was going to take." The child looked into his mentor's eyes. "I couldn't let you down, so i lied." "You didn't have to do that!" "Yes i did. I didn't want to be kicked out! And i thought if i didn't bring you something you would." "Jerry, i never have kicked a boy out for not bringing me money." "I didn't know that! So i did those things. Besides, it helped when Moxy fucked my bumm. They stretched me out some so he didn't hurt me all that bad." "You don't have to do this Jerry." "Sorn." The boy bit his lip and looked pensive. "Can i tell you something?" "Anything." "Just between you and me?" "Sure." Sitting up, the boy whispered in his friends ear. "I liked it when those men did me Sorn." "You did?" HE whispered back. "Yea. I don't know why. i'm afraid if the others find out they will tease me." "We wont tease you Jerry." Fred looked at the two from the fireplace. "I knew for a long time you were doing that stuff. I also knew you liked it." "You did?" "Yea. When i was little I liked sucking the rich men. They washed and didn't stink. So i cant say nothing." He took a deep breath. "The others wont tease you. I wont let them." "Fred, why didn't you say something earlier?" Sorn asked. "Cause it aint none of our business. HE likes it. So what? If you want to let him give you his rump. HE likes it, and who knows? You might like it as well." "The others are asleep Sorn. Please?" Sorn glanced at the other boys and they all were dozing heavily. "If anything hurts tell me and i twill stop." Smiling the lad kissed his mentor on the mouth. "Deal!" Fred closed the curtain Sorn had around his bed so the two could be alone. Sorn shucked his pants and laid naked next too the nude boy. The child looked so angelic it hurt. His chestnut hair and deep brown eyes just invited him to get lost in them. "How do we do this? I never did it with a boy before." Sorn was at loss. "Let me get you hard, then i take some of the stuff that leaks out and slick up my hole. Then you can stick it in." The boy has begun fondelling the rapidly hardening man. "OH god that feels good!" The little hands slowly stroked his member gently. "Good. Want me to suck it?" "Do you want to?" "You just washed so your clean." With that the boy slid down and began to lick around the purple knob that stuck out from under the foreskin that enveloped it. Passion unlike anything he had ever imagined exploded inside Sorn's confused mind. the boy illicit feelings in the man unlike anything he had ever conceived of and it excited him all the more. Soon the whole of his erection was buried into he boy's gobbling mouth. Without remorse or control Sorn took the little head that bobbed on hi knob and began to thrust into it with increasing vigor. Jerry never lost his tempo and continued to swath the man's sensitive rod with his delicate tongue. Soon Sorn's testicles bunched up and he shot his man load into the boy's waiting, greedy mouth. Stream after stream of juice erupted into the tiny orifice and the boy swallowed almost all of it as fast as the man produced it. As Sorn collapsed in his bed Jerry climbed up on the man and hugged him tight. e said nothing as he slipped back down and began to work his tool to hardness again. Spitting a bit of the man's seed into his hand, Jerry leaned back and spread his little legs wide to slick his hole with it. "Sorn. Now im ready. Just go slow and steady for me or it will hurt." Sorn sat up and looked at the angel before him presenting his private hole to him for use. The boy was grinning from ear to ear as he crawled over the boy and positioned his throbbing manhood at the tiny looking hole. "Are you certain you want this?" "Do me sailor!" Jerry giggled. With a gentle push his penis slipped into the boy's body an inch. Jerry winced a moment and then smiled. "Slowly now. When you get half way in then start pumping slowly. I relax some then and it will go deeper as you go on." Gently as he could, Sorn rocked back and forth into the child. He was amazed at the sheer pressure being exerted on his penis as he drove deeper into the boy with each slow thrust. "UNH! That's good Sorn. Just like that. A little at a time. God i like you inside me!" The boy was grunting with abandon as the man pushed in and out of the boy. How erotic it was! Sorn could not believe e the pleasures he was feeling. Never had he considered this sort of sex, now he hoped Jerry would allow him to do this often. Grunting with lust as he increased his tempo, Sorn threw his inhibitions to the winds and he plunged himself into the willing boy in animal lust. The other boys had awaken to the noises and looked over to see Sorn and Jerry's shadow locked in a lustful display behind their curtain. An errant shaft of sunlight streamed into the room behind the tow and silhouetted them against their curtain crisply as they coupled in lust. Soon Sorn grunted loudly and slammed himself into the lad hard and twitched as he spilled his seed into the small body beneath him. "Jerry, that was fantastic! I cant believe how good it was!" Smiling in post orgasmic bliss th4e boy fondled his own deflating erection and just closed his eyed and nodded. Cuddling next to the boy, Sorn noticed that they smelled of their exertions. "We need another bath." "Another? We just had one yesterday!" Jerry mumbled in bliss. "Yes, but we all smell bad still. It will take several washings to make us pleasant too the rich noses we are going to 'serve' in a few days." "AWWWwww!" was all the audience responded with, telling the two they were not exactly subtle about their encounter. "Then get the water heating unless you want a cold bath!" He called out to them. That all for now friends. Chapter 2 should be completed soon!
