Subject: Lucas and Nick get introduced to bondage - chapter 1

Lucas was a graduate student in sociology.  He was the first one in his
family to make it this far with an education, and if things worked out
well,  he'd be finished with his dissertation  "in 2-3 years"  as his
advisor put it.  He was in what they called the  "writing phase," so he
spent most of his time away from school, but in front of his computer,
formulating arguments,  organizing thoughts, and , as his best friend and
cousin Nick put it  "just putting the whole damn thing together."

Lucas was a good looking man, who would "read" as "bear" to people.  He
was about 5'8", 31 years old, a  little on the chunky side, but solid,
with a small beard, a moustache, and dark black hair all over his body.
He tried to work out  2-3 times a week,  and he also tried to watch his
diet.   Dieting was easy, but he would almost always nullify any work on
his diet, with trips to the local bars.

Lucas was gay, and also very much single.  His look, which radiated
"bear," and "top man" were deceiving, at least for the top man part.  He,
like his cousin Nick, was an absolute bottom.  If he had a page of  his
dissertation written for every man who approached him,  found out that he
was a bottom and left , he'd have his "magnum opus" finished, published,
and be collecting royalties - well maybe not collecting royalties, but
he'd be finished.  His cousin Nick, who was blue eyed, blond, and
slight,  was much  more lucky .  When they went out together - once a
week, always on Fridays - if one of them scored, it was Nick.  One time,
a guy had picked them both up, planning to be the middle of a threesome.
That hadn't worked at all.   So, Lucas would speak to Nick - who was, as
they say  "between positions" at the time, once, maybe twice a week,
they'd have their Friday nights together, and had settled into a normal
routine.

One shouldn't assume from this that Lucas had absolutely no sex life at
all.  He had a bit of one, with his roommate.  When Lucas had gone
looking for a place to live, close to the university, he had answered an
ad from a man who had presented photos of a well lit, large,  bedroom
with a private bath,  "available to the right person."  The rent seemed a
bit steep, but Lucas decided to give it a try.
At the interview, the lessor,   Shawn, had served excellent espresso and
cookies, and he and Lucas had hit it off.  When the issue of the rent
came up, Lucas told Shawn    "I really like this place, and I think we
could hit it off as roomies.  I just don't know if I can make the rent.
I pretty much survive on grant and fellowship, and if they get cut, it's
a problem. . Shawn shook his head in recognition of the situation.  With
an apartment so close to the university, he rented to students a lot, and
he knew the situation.  He had taken a shine to Lucas:  the quiet kind of
demeanor, the very sweet smile, and his hunky looks, all appealed to
Shawn, who hadn't had a lover or even a boyfriend for at least 6 years.
At 40, he was certainly not "over the hill," but as he told his friends
"the peak was approaching."

" I think we may be able to arrange something Lucas.  This is up to you,
but I'm willing to drop the rent by 150.00 a month, if you'll agree to
something.  I have some less than usual tastes, and one of them has to do
with sex.  I'm into bondage.  I like tying guys up.  No sex, really,
unless they want it.  I like to see guys tied up and struggling.  And you
strike me as someone who would be a good struggler.  So... if you're
willing to let me tie you up once a week, for an hour,  and watch you try
to get out of the rope, I'll drop the rent."

The drop in rent interested Lucas immensely.  That kind of drop would
make it very easy for him to make the rent.  The bondage part was more
problematic.  He had never been tied up before, although he had thought
about it.  He had heard, and read stories about bondage scenes that had
gone "wrong,"  so he was a bit nervous about it.  At the same time, Shawn
wasn't bad looking: red haired, going to grey, blue eyes, pale skin.
Shawn also DID go to the gym every day, and kept himself up.  He worked
nearby the university,  as the administrator of a small employment
agency.

"No sex,  you said?   Just bondage, and just an hour."
"That's correct, Lucas.  I may very well  jerk myself off during the
sessions, but never on you, unless you wanted it.  Also, I frequently get
so excited that I finish ahead of time.  If that happens, whether you
stay tied up for the hour or not, is up to you."
This was all intriguing to Lucas.   "Can I ask that my cousin be here for
at least the first one,  to make sure that everything goes ok?"
Shawn smiled.  "You have a cousin? Is he as handsome as you?"
Lucas laughed.  "We're not at all alike.  I'll show you his picture."
Shawn took a look.  "Ah, too bad.  Not my type.  If he were,  and he were
willing to  join  you, I might drop the rate another 50 bucks.  " He
paused.  "But ok.  If you want to sign a sublease,  he can come over, to
make sure I'm on the up and up.  We can pick a day.  Whatever suits your
schedule.  I'm usually  home, as you've noticed."
Lucas cracked his big, winning smile.  "Let's give it a try."

"YOU DID WHAT?"   was Nick's first reaction.  "Look, if you saw the
place, you'd understand.  And I think I can trust the guy, Nick.  I
checked his references, and they're solid.  And you don't have to do
anything.  You just need to be there the first couple of times, to see
that things are  safe.  "  Nick paused.  "You know, I have to be honest
Lucas.  The thought of  seeing you tied up is getting me a bit excited."
Lucas laughed at that.   "So, ok.  When does this happen?  Tuesday?

"Yes, Tuesday.  7pm. Shawn says it's better to do this before dinner, so
there's no upset tummies."  "He did NOT say tummy, did he?"  Lucas
laughed  "Yes, he did.  Sometimes I think he fancies himself a bit
British, but he's an ok guy. "

And that's how they found themselves in Shawn's room on a Tuesday night.
"Nick, it's nice to meet you," Shawn greeted Nick.  "Lucas showed me your
photo and yes, you don't look alike at all.  Lucas was nervous, but he
was ready.  One stipulation of the agreement was that Shawn would pick
what Lucas wore during the scene. For the first one, he had asked him to
do something simple:  dark sweat pants, a "wife beater" shirt, and
sneakers.  The outfit revealed that Lucas had no tattoos, and that his
body hair covered his arms  and chest very thickly.

"We're going to do a simple chair tie up tonight, Lucas.  And  no gag for
a newbie.  You can yell at me all  you want, you can curse, anything.  I
won't touch you.  And if you feel like it's not working, we'll stop.
Nick was sitting there, watching, as Shawn tied his cousin's wrists, and
his elbows together.  He then tied them to the back of the chair in which
Shawn was sitting.  Then he roped Lucas' ankles to the back rungs of the
chair, so his legs were spread wide.  Finally, he roped Lucas' torso to
the chair.  "It's not pretty, but it's effective," is what Shawn said.
 He turned  and started a timer.  "ok, one hour.  Starting now."

Lucas grunted, and pushed against the ropes.  He couldn't get out of
them.  His grunting got louder, and he began to get into the situation.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"  he yelled at Shawn, trying to make things
interesting.  "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.  LET ME GO."  Shawn picked up on
that.  "I don't believe you Lucas." He folded his arms.   "And I think if
I keep you like this, for a while, you'll eventually give up everything I
want to know.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME," and Shawn laughed  "but I have. "
Their dialogue continued in that way, until the hour was over.  When the
alarm went off, Shawn kept his part of the bargain, and untied Lucas.  He
shook his hand.  Thank you.  I didn't expect the roleplay, but it made
things better for me.  I'm going to excuse myself now... "

Untied, Lucas went back to his bedroom with Nick.  "You're hard Lucas,"
"So are you Nick."  Indeed, they both were.
"I didn't expect that was going to get me as aroused as it did," Lucas
told Nick .
"You know, you really did look good tied up, cuz.  Something like one of
those Greek statues they made me look at in school."
"OH STOP," Lucas laughed, but he was flattered.  He took a look at Nick.
They had been best friends for so long, that they didn't have to speak.
The both simply dropped their pants, and began jerking each other off.
At the end, Lucas smiled.  "Thanks for coming over cuz.  I appreciate
it."
"Can I come back?" NIck gave Lucas a wicked smile.
"Ha ha.  You perv.  Let's see what happens.  I'll call you during the
week."


That first foray into bondage for Lucas, was like an "entry drug."  he
dreamed about it that night.  He jerked off to it the day after.   And
before he went to the bars on Friday, he checked to see if there were any
that appealed to men who were into bondage.  He was stunned to find so
many.  He picked one that sounded appealing,  put on the same wife
beater, and a pair of tight faded jeans, and went off.
He was surprised, but only mildly, when he spotted Nick at the same bar.
