On your knees

The subs around me watched Chris with concern. We had never seen him act like that before and it started to worry me more when tears appeared in his eyes. Evan grabbed Chris in a hug and asked him if he wanted him to get Austin. Chris shook his head no, knowing that he didn't want to cause any trouble.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked about Dave. Chris looked up at me, darkness filled the once tearful eyes and I grew scared for a second. "How do you know him?"

Chris sighed before he ran his hand through his blond mane.

"He was my master…before Steve was."

"Holy shit." Evan gasped. Just then my attention settled on the doms , trying my best to try and hear what was going on.

"Austin, I think we met before." Dave said. Austin didn't reply, simply stared at the big man. "Oh! I sold you the little bitchy blond one didn't I? Good riddance, hopefully he doesn't talk back as much as he use to. He use to get me into so much trouble.

I watched John's reaction only to see his face was calm. Again, he caught me staring at him, this time I held his gaze, not looking away until Austin spoke.

"He's a good boy now." Austin said back and nothing more came from his mouth.

I turned my attention back on the rest of us subs, and watched while everyone crowded over Chris, trying to somewhat comfort him. Everyone except Ziggy who was sitting near the hunched over blond who had been brought in with Dave.

"Hi! I'm Ziggy!" He held out his hand but the blond jumped back in fright making him accidentally bump into the book case. I watched as several books came crashing down, some of them landing on the blond man.

I went right to the blonds side, pulling him away from the bookcase as Evan went to put the books back.

"What happened?"

I looked from the blond to Randy who watched all of us. And I saw his face look at us in confusion when he saw the state of both the blond man and Chris.

"Steve." Randy called out and Chris was almost back into tears. Steve came into view looking directly at Chris, his face was a stone mask, showing no emotions to the scene before him. The rest of the doms joined us and I sighed in relief when I felt John's hand on my back before feeling a kiss on the top of my head.

"Adam!" Dave barked and the blond man bowed the lowest he could go. "The nice man invites into his home and this is how you repay him." His yelling made me cringe and I buried my head in John chest.

Adam didn't answer just tried to sink into the floor even more. Dave took hold on the leash, yanking Adam up. Dave stopped when he saw Chris in the corner.

"Chris…long time no see." His lecherous eyes went back to Adam and then suddenly I felt myself being picked off the floor.

"No need to see this, doll. This is between Dave, Chris, Adam and Austin." John said and he was right. The rest of us went outside to sit on the porch and John grabbed me, pulling me into his lap.

I saw Randy and Jeff doing the same thing to Evan and Ziggy. I saw Matt hesitate letting Jay into his arms but he eventually gave in and Jay clambered on him. I shrank into John when I heard yelling coming from inside the house, followed by a couple yelps. I watched the rest of my friends reactions and they pretty much mirror my own.

"Mike? You alright?" John asked me and I nodded, once again curling into him.

Just then, the door busted open and out came a very pissed off looking Dave, his eyes wild as they darted to each of the doms. I sneaked a peek from where my head laid and saw that he had a massive cut across his lips.

"What kind of fucking friends do you have, Rand?" Dave bellowed and Randy stood, Evan scooting off as fast as he could. "That redneck said I should be in jail for what I do to the little asshole and for what I did to his. So what if I gave him to a couple other of my friends, it wasn't like he didn't enjoy it. It was what I did with Chris. He has no idea who the fuck he is messing with." We all watched as he stormed out of the room, and eventually out of the house sans Adam.

I stayed behind while the rest of them went to find Chris and Austin and surprisingly enough, Adam was the next person to walk out that door, the chain still hanging from the collar around his throat. He collapsed next to me before looking at me.

"Am I free of him?" His voice creaked as if he hadn't talked in a long time, he probably hasn't. I took the chain from around his neck off.

"To be honest. I don't know. I have no idea where you will go from here but you have to remember one thing. Be strong. If you stay strong, I know you can find the right guy for you. There is a master out there for you that will no doubt take good care of you. You just have to be patient. He'll find you, and when he does, oh boy will you be spoiled rotten."

He started to cry then, and I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing that comforted me when I cried. I gathered him in my arms, giving him a strong hug that let him know that it was going to be okay. I kept shushing him as he cried into my shoulder.

I didn't hear when everyone came outside later, only held onto Adam. My eyes eventually looked up and John was looking at me with a smile on his handsome face.

"Come on, Mike." And I watched in awe as John not only picked me up, but Adam up as well. It looked as though it was nothing to my master. I heard Randy's voice next.

" John, he can stay here for the night."

John bent down and let me hand Adam to him. I couldn't help but smile at the grin that John gave me, and I know tonight I shall be rewarded. How…I'm not sure yet.

"Get your stuff, doll. We're leaving soon." John told me and I rushed to get the sweater that I had at one point took off.

I ran to the place we been before the drama and I stopped in my tracks as I saw Austin and Chris embracing. I cleared my throat, letting them know of my presence but it didn't seem to faze them as they continued to kiss each other. I quickly grabbed my sweater, dashing to the front of the house and saying my goodbyes to the rest of the subs.

John came down the stairs from where he must had placed Adam. He grinned at me again and took me by the hand, leading me to the car. I felt a bounce in his step and I wondered what had put him in such a good mood. Hopefully I'll find out soon.
