Chapter 6: Zach Explains Some More

As he massaged his stomach, Danny asked, ‘Did you ever see Gregory naked?’ Zach blushed. ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘When he had a shower, he would usually come out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, but sometimes he would walk out naked.’

Moving on up over his chest, Danny asked, ‘How did you feel when you saw him.’ ‘I was awfully embarrassed,’ Zach said, ‘But it didn’t seem to bother him.’ Danny massaged his shoulders then his head in silence.

Stopping, he smiled at him and said, ‘How much more relaxed do you feel from when you started?’ ‘A lot,’ Zach said, ‘I’m surprised.’ ‘How did you feel when I undid your trousers?’ Danny asked. Zach looked down surprised. ‘I hadn’t noticed,’ he said not sounding concerned.

‘That is excellent,’ Danny told him, ‘I told you I was going to do that when I came back up, yet when I did it, you just ignored it, that must prove that you are very much more relaxed with me, especially for someone so shy as you.’

‘Now, when you turn over, I’m going to go down your back, then when I reach your waist, I’m going to massage inside your trousers but over your shorts. When I do that, if you feel relaxed enough, I want you to lift your hips up so I can slide them down a little and massage your legs on your skin.’

‘Turn over now.’ Once he was settled, Danny started massaging the back of his head. ‘Remembering that I have never met Gregory, can you picture him naked and describe his build to me.’ Danny saw the sides of his neck go red at the thought. ‘He’s about the same height as me,’ Zach said as Danny moved slowly down his back. ‘He’s chubby but not excessively and he’s much stronger than me.’ By now Danny had massaged down Zach’s back and reached his waist.

He took hold of the waist of Zach’s loose trousers and paused for a moment. Zach said nothing so he slid his hand inside and massaged his cheeks over his shorts.

As he was massaging, he asked, ‘Can you describe his genitals.’ As Zach started to speak, Danny took hold of the top of his trousers and pulled gently downwards. Concentrating on his embarrassment at what he was about to describe, Zach lifted his hips automatically as he felt the tug.

As he told Danny that Gregory had a penis that was shorter and thinner than his own and had ginger pubic hairs Danny slid his trousers down to just below his knees.

Telling him to relax, Danny added, ‘Very well done, I know you found that difficult to say.’ As Danny massaged the now uncovered back of Zach’s legs, he asked, ‘What do you do for hobbies and other activities when you’re not working?’

‘I collect postage stamps, I like doing sudoku puzzles and crosswords and I play table tennis sometimes,’ Zach said as Danny moved back up his legs and over the back of his shorts to massage his cheeks.’

‘Oh, and I’m studying bookkeeping at evening class,’ he added as Danny moved on up his back. ‘Is that for work?’ Danny asked. ‘Sort of,’ Zach told him, ‘It could be helpful, but it opens up other job opportunities too.’ ‘That’s good,’ Danny told him as he massaged his shoulders, ‘Qualifications and skills are always worth having.’

‘At secondary school,’ Danny asked, ‘Who would you say were your best friends.’ ‘I only really had one,’ Zach said, ‘Alan lived near my mum, and he was as shy as I am.’ ‘As you used to be you mean.’ Danny told him with a grin.

Massaging his head, Danny said, ‘When you turn over, I’ll slip your trousers off on the way down, then I can massage your legs directly on the skin. I’m sure you’re finding the direct on the skin bits the most relaxing.’

‘Turn over,’ Danny told him. Zach turned over and lay looking quite relaxed. ‘How do you feel?’ Danny asked. ‘Surprisingly relaxed,’ Zach told him, ‘I’m finding it easy to talk to you and the massage is nice.’

As Danny massaged the front of his head, he said, ‘I told you that the more you uncovered your body, the more you would be able to tell me about yourself. I’ll bet when you started you didn’t think you would be able to tell me a quarter of what you’ve told me so far. Or lie there relaxed with just your shorts on.’

‘No, I didn’t.’ Zach told him, ‘I’m amazed. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much at ease in anyone else’s company.’ ‘Thank you,’ Danny said, ‘That’s a nice compliment. However, now you are uncovered so much, it’s time for some more personal questions, so let’s hope you feel the same when I get back up to your head.’ He smiled down at him.

Danny was massaging his chest as he finished speaking. He ran his fingers through Zach’s patch of hairs then asked, ‘Are you a virgin?’ Zach went red, but answered fairly promptly, ‘Yes.’ Moving down to his stomach, Danny said, ‘You find sex an embarrassing subject don’t you.’ ‘Yes,’ Zach admitted.

‘Has that always been so, or has it got worse since you went to live with your uncle.’ There was silence as Danny moved down to his waist, then as he moved his hands up onto the front of Zach’s shorts, he replied in a whisper, ‘Yes.’ As Danny massaged over all of his front, including the still soft lump, he asked, ‘Is that because of what he did to you?’

Another silence as Danny moved down the front of his thighs, then another whispered, ‘Yes, how did you know?’ ‘A guess based on my experiences helping others,’ Danny told him as he slipped his trousers off over his feet.

‘Sit up,’ Danny told him. ‘Give me a hug,’ Danny said putting his arms out. Zach did and as Danny hugged him, he rested his head on Danny’s shoulder. ‘I haven’t had a hug since before my mum died,’ Zach told him. Danny kept hold of him as he said, ‘I don’t want to know anything more about your uncle just yet, but just remember whatever it was it wasn’t your fault, you can get over it and I know that is so because you have been able to admit it happened.’

‘That means,’ he continued, ‘That when I have finished relaxing you, we will definitely be able to talk about it and solve it between us.’ Zach gave him an extra hug, ‘Thank you,’ he said, ‘I’m so relieved.’ Danny stroked his back a couple of times then told him to lie down again.

Danny returned to his feet and started massaging up his legs. ‘When did you start looking for fresh accommodation?’ Danny asked. ‘Three weeks... ‘ Zach started to say, then, ‘How on earth did you know that.’ ‘Same as before,’ Danny told him with a smile. ‘As I told you at the start, the problems you have had are colossal to you, but they have happened to lots of people before and no doubt will happen to others again.’

‘Now you don’t need to answer this yet, but I’m guessing that Gregory either did something to you, or tried to, which frightened you because it had a similarity to whatever your uncle did.’ As he spoke, Danny was massaging the front of his shorts. ‘Wow, you’re amazing,’ Zach said looking at him, ‘You couldn’t possibly know that but it’s true.’

As Zach finished speaking, Danny had rested his hand still on his bulge. He kept it still for a moment seeing no reaction. ‘Zach, close your eyes a minute,’ Danny said. When he did, Danny asked, ‘Going by what you are feeling only, where is my hand?’ ‘On my cock,’ Zach said after a couple of seconds thought. ‘Ok, open your eyes.’ Danny said.

Smiling at him he said, ‘So tell me why, considering how you feel and what you have experienced, your face isn’t red with embarrassment and you’re not in a panic?’ ‘I don’t know,’ Zach told him, ‘It’s amazing, I’ve never felt so safe with anyone before. Plus, I know Harry thinks you’re wonderful and I can sense how kind and gentle you are.’

Danny had moved on up over his stomach and over his chest as they spoke. As he massaged Zach’s head, he told him, ‘I’ll go down your back, then your front once more, they we can sort all your problems out.’

Taking his hands off his head, he smiled at him and told him, ‘When I go down your back, I will massage your cheeks on your skin. If when I do either going down or back up, you feel relaxed enough, lift your hips so I can move your shorts down and massage your skin easier. But don’t forget you can say stop at any time.’
