Chapter 5: Bryans Stiff Resistance Fades

After seeing Dudley out, Lewis boiled the kettle and prepared two cups ready. He didn’t have long to wait, his phone pinged with a text to say Bryan was outside.

Lewis went through and let him in. He introduced himself as they shook hands. Bryan was an inch taller than Lewis, slightly chubby and looked to be early twenties.

He seemed quite at ease at being there which didn’t fit with someone responsible for the problem. Lewis made them a coffee each and as they sat drinking it, Lewis thanked him for coming and explained about leaving anytime he wanted.

‘Just to clear the air,’ Lewis said, ‘It is not my wish to get you into any trouble with the club. My concern is to find out what happened and to sort out Johnathan, Jake, and Nigel. You too, if you’re affected the same way. I also want to ensure it doesn’t happen to anyone else who might not cope with it as well.’

‘That sounds good,’ Bryan said, ‘Thank you for reassuring me about the club. I will do everything I can to help you.’ ‘It’s only fair to tell you,’ Lewis said, ‘That when I first heard the story, you seemed to be the one to blame.’ As Bryan opened his mouth to speak Lewis held his hand up to silence him.

‘Having met you, I have to say that you come over to me as an equal victim to the other three. So, relax and let’s get to the truth. Now before I can help you with your mind, I need to get you relaxed enough with me to be able to tell me anything about you. So, our first task will be to achieve that.’

‘When we have finished our coffees, we’ll go over to the settee. Then I will ask you, not about what happened at the club, but about you and your life. A lot of my questions will be ones that no one has probably ever asked you before. If at the start I ask you something you find too embarrassing to answer just then, say pass. We’ll skip it and come back to it later.’

‘Only when you are relaxed enough with me will we look at Monday night. Ok?’ ‘Ok,’ Bryan said, ‘That sounds easy enough.’ ‘When you’re ready.’ Lewis said, ‘Go over to the settee, take your shoes off and lie down. Then I’ll tell you the first stage.’

A few moments later Bryan took his last sip of coffee, went over to the settee and lay down after kicking his shoes off. Lewis went over and sat at his side. ‘In a moment I’ll ask you to turn over,’ he told him. ‘Then I’ll put my hands on the back of your head and massage it until you say go.’

‘I will then go down your back to your feet and back again whilst I ask you to tell me all about yourself. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, just call out stop and I’ll stop immediately. Ok?’ ‘Ok,’ Bryan said still not sounding worried at all. Lewis was puzzled, because if he wasn’t the culprit, who was?’

‘Turn over when you’re ready,’ Lewis said. Almost immediately Bryan turned over. Lewis placed his hands on his head, paused briefly then started massaging. Soon after Bryan said, ‘Go.’

As he moved down onto his shoulders, Lewis asked him, ‘Tell me about where you live and who lives there with you.’ I live in a two bedroomed flat, Bryan said. ‘I share it with an old school friend, Richard who was in my class at secondary school.’

‘How well do you get on with each other?’ Lewis asked as he moved down to his waist. ‘Very well,’ Bryan said, ‘We were always more like brothers than friends.’ ‘How long have you lived there?’ Lewis asked as he moved down over the back of his trousers.

Bryan went very tense and didn’t answer. Then as Lewis moved his hands down onto his legs he relaxed and said, ‘About five years. We met up again at a friend’s birthday party when we were twenty. We were both looking for a new flat and by sharing we found it easier to find a suitable flat as well as being able to share the costs.’

Starting up from his feet Lewis said, ‘Remember that nothing in here is going to hurt you. Where did you live when you were at school?’ Lewis asked. ‘At home with my parents,’ Bryan answered. As he came up over his cheeks again, Lewis asked, ‘What was your life like at home?’

He went tense once more but not so much. As Lewis moved onto his waist he replied, ‘It was good. I’m an only child so I guess I was spoilt a lot. Mum and dad were good to me and looking back I had a happy childhood.’ As he moved on up his back, Lewis asked, ‘What made you move out?’

‘My first job after school lasted six months,’ he said, ‘Then the firm moved a hundred miles away. I had the chance to go with them, so I got a one bed flat here in the new town. Then a year ago they went bankrupt. I’d got to like the area by then, so I found my present job as steward of the club.’

‘Well done,’ Lewis said, as he reached his head. ‘Turn over now.’ Once Bryan was settled, Lewis told him, ‘I’ll go down your front now, exactly the same and with more questions.’ As Bryan nodded, he put his hands on his head, massaged briefly, gave his temples a longer massage then moved down onto his shoulders.

‘How did your parents take you moving out?’ he asked. ‘They were upset,’ he replied, ‘I guess most parents are, but they were pleased that I had a job and was prepared to move to keep it. I came home and visited a lot at weekends, and they visited me too. That’s still the same today.’

As Lewis moved down over his well-padded stomach, he asked, ‘How did you get on with the other boys at school?’ ‘Fine,’ Bryan said. ‘There were some I didn’t like and I guess some didn’t like me, but I got on with most of them.’ ‘What about special mates?’ Lewis asked as he passed over the front of his trousers.

Bryan went exceptionally tense at that point and didn’t answer until Lewis moved onto his thighs. As he relaxed, he said, ‘There was a group of us that generally hung around together.’ he said, ‘But the very special ones were Luke, Richard and Ken.’

As Lewis started back up from his feet he asked, ‘Did the three of you get together much out of school?’ ‘Yes, we almost all lived together,’ he answered with a grin. ‘We all lived within two streets of each other and all of our parents liked the other three.’

As Lewis went over the front of his trousers once more Bryan went just as tense. In passing Lewis could tell from his soft bulge that his cock seemed to be an average size.

As he moved onto his stomach Bryan relaxed. ‘I’m sorry about that,’ he said, ‘I don’t know why I’ve started being so touchy.’ ‘Did it happen recently?’ Lewis asked as he moved onto his chest. ‘Yes, over the last few weeks.’ Bryan told him. Then as he suddenly put two and two together, he exclaimed, ‘It’s since the other Monday, I don’t know why I didn’t connect it before.’

‘Perhaps you haven’t had many strange hands massaging you since then.’ Lewis said with a smile. ‘Actually, I’ve never ever had a massage before.’ Bryan said, ‘It’s rather nice apart from when I go tense. Really, I suppose those areas should be the nicest part of it too.’ he said.

Lewis had reached his head, gave it a massage and smiled at him as he took his hands away. ‘You’re doing really well,’ he told him, ‘And making the connection between your going tense and the film show is a major step forward.’

‘The trouble I’m having,’ Lewis admitted, ‘Is that the more you tell me the more I’m convinced you are not to blame. That’s good for you but it doesn’t help me get to the bottom of it.’

‘Anyway, in a moment I want you to turn over again so I can repeat what we’ve done so far with even more questions. As you said, massage is very relaxing, but massage on your skin is even more so. He explained about uncovering your mind and body.’

‘If you feel you’re really relaxing with me,’ Lewis said, ‘I want you to consider taking your top things off before you turn over, so I can massage your back directly on your skin. But as with everything here, it’s your choice. Whatever you decide, turn over when you’re ready.’

Bryan only hesitated briefly, apart from his sensitive spots he had found the massage relaxing. The idea of feeling it directly on his skin seemed nice. He sat up, pulled his top things off, tossed them over onto the chair, lay down and turned over.
