Chapter 5: Sex By Blackmail

‘What about the photo he took?’ I asked, ‘Do you think he’ll keep it to himself?’ ‘Yes, I’m sure he will,’ Roy replied, ‘You don’t need to worry.’

‘I got up and moved alongside him. I put my arm around him and asked, ‘What’s up, something is still bothering you, I can tell.’ He burst into tears and cried on my shoulder. He sobbed for ages. As his sobs faded, I said, ‘Please tell me what’s up, I might be able to help.’ ‘You can’t,’ he said, ‘After you’d gone, he raped me. Then he said if I didn’t let him do it again whenever he called, he’d take the picture to the police.’ He burst into tears again.’

‘When he finished crying,’ I said, ‘Are you saying that he put his cock up your bum?’ ‘Yes,’ he admitted quietly. ‘It hurt like hell. You know I said you could put your cock up my bum, well I’ve never done it before. I knew it would be ok with you, because you were small, and you would be careful.’

‘But his cock is bigger than mine and he was rough. It’s still sore now.’ he said. ‘But if I don’t do what he says, he’ll take the photo to the police. He’s right, I’ll be arrested for abusing you because you’re underage. That you wanted to do it won’t matter. Also, he said if that happens, he’ll turn me out, so I’ll be homeless too.’

‘When’s he coming back?’ I asked him. ‘He said he’d come and collect once a week, so it’ll be next Thursday.’ ‘Ok,’ I said, ‘I’ve heard about someone at school who has a reputation for solving anyone’s problems. When I go back on Monday I’ll see if he can help.’

‘I stood up, and as he stood to see me out, I put my arms around him and gave him a kiss. ‘Don’t worry,’ I said, ‘I’m sure we can sort it out somehow. So that’s why I came to see you.’ Michael said.

‘Can you take me to see Roy tomorrow straight after school?’ Lewis asked. ‘From what you’ve told me about Roy, it’s probably best you don’t tell him I’m coming.’ ‘Do you really think you can sort it out?’ Michael asked. ‘Yes.’ Lewis said.

‘Normally, when someone is attacked like this, I would have the culprit arrested and sent to prison. But because of your age, that would complicate things for Roy. So, would you be happy if his landlord was stopped from visiting him ever again and he erased the photo?’

‘Yes, that would be fantastic,’ Michael said, ‘But would it stop him still telling people what he saw?’ Lewis grinned. ‘I’m sure I could persuade him not to do that.’ he said.

‘Get dressed now,’ Lewis said, ‘Unless you have anything else to tell me?’ ‘No, that’s everything.’ Michael said as he got up. Lewis watched him get dressed, then stood up ready to show him out.

‘Meet me by the front gate when school finishes tomorrow.’ Lewis told him. Michael came up to him and gave him a hug, ‘Thank you so much,’ he said and gave him a kiss on his lips. Lewis returned it, then saw him out.

He put his radio alarm in a bag and took it home with him.

TUESDAY

After school Lewis met Michael at the school gates and they walked to Roy’s. When he answered the door, he was clearly pleased to see Michael but looked scared when he saw Lewis. ‘This is Lewis, the friend from school I told you about,’ Michael introduced him. ‘He is going to solve our problem, can we come in.’

Roy hesitated then stepped back, ‘Yes, please do.’ he said. They went in and Roy made them all a coffee. They sat at the dining table and drank it. Whilst they drank Lewis told Roy that he had dealt with a lot of people’s problems. People find that they can tell me about their problem, just like Michael did.’ he told him. ‘Because they know that I never ever tell anyone anything that people that I’m helping tell me.’

‘I have to know all about the problem, to be able to find a solution. But no one else will ever know from me. It might also help you feel easier with me if I tell you that everything you and Michael have done together, I have done too. With the same age difference.’ They both looked surprised at that.

‘Have you heard anything from him about coming back to see you?’ Lewis asked Michael. ‘No.’ he said. ‘Ok, if he does, you need to meet up with him here in this room,’ Lewis said. ‘It might mean that you have to put up with him playing around with you, but it will only be once and it will make sure we can deal with him for good, ok?’ ‘Yes,’ Michael said nodding.

‘What can you tell me about your landlord?’ Lewis asked Roy. He thought for a moment. ‘He’s been fine with me for the past four years I’ve lived here,’ he said. ‘He’s popped in from time to time to see if everything is alright and there’s never been any problems.’

‘He’s in his forties, and he works as an insurance agent. He lives with his wife three roads away. They have a son about twelve who I’ve met once when he came along with his dad.’

‘Thanks,’ Lewis said, ‘Do you have his address?’ ‘Yes, it’s on my rent book,’ Roy told him. ‘Can I have it please?’ Lewis said. Roy got up and rooted in a drawer. He handed it to Lewis who found the landlords full name, address, and phone number which he put in his phone.

‘Now Roy,’ Lewis said handing it back, ‘You have had the pain of him raping you once. Am I right in thinking he didn’t put any oil on his cock or on your bum?’ Roy blushed at being asked such a question by a young lad he had only just met, but he managed a quiet, ‘Yes.’

‘So that we can end your suffering and recover your photo, you will need to let him rape you again next Thursday.’ He handed him a small spray bottle. ‘So that it won’t hurt as much, when you get up on Thursday morning, put the nozzle of that tight against your bum and squirt once. That will put oil inside your bum.’

‘Then if he hasn’t been by one o’clock, give yourself another squirt. Now it shouldn’t hurt next time or hurt very little. But even so, I want you to cry out as if you are in pain when he goes in. Also keep crying and complaining of pain all the time he is going in and out.’

‘As soon as he tells you to get undressed, refuse. Tell him you don’t want to do it, say it was disgusting, and your bum is still sore from last time he raped you. Do you think you can do that?’ ‘I suppose so,’ Roy said. ‘I’ll go through it again with him later.’ Michael said.

‘Ok,’ Lewis told them, ‘Now here is why you are going to do all that.’ He took the radio alarm out of his bag. ‘This clock,’ he told them, ‘Has a built-in microphone in it. I’m going to set it up in this room. Then I can listen in on my phone.’

‘Whatever he says, I will hear. I’ll also record it. Then I can threaten him with arrest or letting his wife hear it. In return for not doing so, I’m sure he will agree never to come in here again. He will agree not do anything to harm Roy’s tenancy and he will let me erase the picture from his phone’s memory.’

He looked around the room, selected the best spot and put the alarm in position. He plugged it in, then moved a few odds and ends around so it didn’t stand out too much.

‘I’m going to go to the bathroom,’ Lewis said. ‘Once I’m in there, I want you both to say a couple of words one after the other so I can check that I can hear you. It doesn’t matter what you say.’

He opened his phone and signed into the alarm via the internet. He could see most of the room clearly including the three of them. He went out and into the bathroom. He watched Roy and Michael look at each other uncertain what to say.

Michael said, ‘I’m glad I asked Lewis for help.’ Then Roy said, ‘He seems nice.’ A few moments later Lewis returned. ‘That’s fine,’ he said, ‘I’m glad you did too,’ he said smiling at Michael. ‘Thank you for your compliment too, Roy.’

‘Right, all we can do now is wait,’ Lewis said. ‘If he contacts either of you, let me know as soon as you can.’ Michael went over and gave him a hug. ‘Thank you.’ he said. Lewis put one arm out and encouraged Roy to join in the hug. When he did and they hugged, Lewis said to Roy, ‘Don’t worry Roy, it’ll soon be over.’ He asked for a spare front door key which Roy gave him.

‘Roy saw them out. Michael went across the road, whilst Lewis went home. He texted Aiden and gave the name and address to ask if he knew anything about the landlord.
