Yay more!!!! Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto’s unforgiving Dom smiled thinly as e started to turn his limp slave around to finish his work. There was one good thing he could say about this one; his threshold for pain was high. Anyone else would have passed out by now. "Just a little more kid. Then we’ll see about making you pretty for tomorrow’s show."

Naruto tried not to close his eyes; knowing that his Master loved seeing the beautiful; if not dulled blue orbs. "Thank you Master; for putting your mark on me." He figured that might buy him some leniency at least.

The older man’s smile became genuine. Maybe he'd just leave the boy to heal for the night. But then that wouldn’t be fun for the Master. "It’s good to know how you value me. This next part will hurt quite a bit but you must promise me that you won’t move. I would hate to accidentally gorge out your insides..."

Naruto stiffened but nodded nonetheless. "I'll make sure to obey you Master. But; may I ask you a question?" He hoped that he wouldn't regret this later.

The razor sharp edge of the scalpel stopped just a fraction of an inch form the tanned kid’s stomach as the blade’s wielder considered the simple request. "... You may.”

Naruto looked down as his eyes dulled further; preparing himself for the answer. "What are you going to do to my stomach?" He kept his head down; his voice shaking as he asked.

The man smiled privately as he contemplated the perfectly sculpted abs before him. "Long ago I dreamed a mark that's haunted me for many years. No matter how I tried to draw it this image continued to haunt me. On that day, the day I took you under my wing, I knew that the mark was meant for you. This will hurt quite a bit because of how intricate the glyph is, but it will suit you well.”

Naruto closed his eyes; not even caring anymore about what happened to him. He just wanted it to be over and done with. "Thank you, Master." he said quietly because it was expected of him.

The man pulled the slightly bloody blade away from the limp boy's flesh before running a hand carefully up the boys exposed sides to just ghost over the tanned flesh with his fingertips. The air was just chilly enough to make goose bumps rise in the sake of that faint caress that flowed with a slight shudder, of eagerness? "It will all be over soon. I promise.”
With that the man focused on that haunting glyph as he started carefully cutting away thin ribbons of skin in spirals, circles and unknown letters of some long forgotten language. (1)

Tears flowed down tanned cheeks as Naruto tried to hold back his screams of agony. It was pure torture; the feel of the hot sharp blade cutting into his skin; the feel of blood dripping down the front of his body...He couldn't take it anymore. He passed out shortly after; not waking up until the next day; bandaged and in excruciating pain.

~~End Flashback~~

Naruto was shaking all over as the feelings of that traumatizing day came back in full force. He could still feel that knife carving him in what felt like thousands of little pieces; feel the blood dripping and sticking to his skin before he was finally cleaned off. Could still see... the blond took a deep, shuddering breath as he huddled against Itachi's strong body for comfort and love. That had been so long ago. He’d hoped that inner demon would stay locked away in a far corner of his mind but somehow it felt good to share this part of his past. "I screamed almost loud enough to make the neighbors call the cops. After I had woken up the next morning; my whole body hurt; but what was weird was that my face hurt. I didn’t remember him doing anything to my face the night before. Apparently after I passed out; he took the blade to my face leaving these...” He indicated three identical lines on each side of his face. “He could have cut my eyes open, or killed me. I’m surprised I didn’t wake up..."

Itachi held Naruto close; running his fingers through the blond locks. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and be able to take care of his Master instead of the other way around. "I'm so sorry Master; I feel so lucky to have you." He wasn't sure how to say the next words; not knowing how Naruto would take them. Deciding to screw the consequences; he looked down at Naruto with watery eyes and ran his fingertips along one scarred cheek. "I love you, Master. Please, don't ever leave me."

The blond buried his face in the man’s chest like a little kid who’d been terrified by a bad dream. Naruto curled up as tightly as he could in his sub's arms and clung to that supple pale flesh wrapped in bandages until the shudders subsided into feeble trembling. "Thank you. Itachi...I love you too. Just... as long as we're together I think... I can keep control of myself.”


Itachi tried to comfort the blond as best he could. "Is that why you lose control sometimes...because you feel like you have no other option and you get flashbacks?" He was hoping he got the gist of it so that the blond didn't have to explain any further.

Naruto felt his throat tighten in response to the simple question it would be so easy to just say yes... but that wasn’t the whole truth. "Sometimes.... the rest... like today... was form when my contract was up. He... tried to keep me longer and I just.... lost control and used something to protect myself..... I can’t remember it so well it was so fast then he was just... on the floor and bleeding.”


Itachi was just about to thank Naruto once more when he heard his brother's loud moans from the bedroom that had escalated in volume.

In the bedroom, Sasuke was in pure agony. Something had to be done and quick. "Please Master! I can't take it anymore; please let me cum!" Sasuke needed to cum and he needed it now!

Naruto sighed, sat up and wiped any moisture form his eyes. "I guess we should let your little brother get his thing going. I’ll untie him you get a bag for him or something. I don't want to have to wipe cum from the ceiling again." With that, he waited for Itachi to get out of the tub before he himself got out as well. He squared his shoulders to address Sasuke's urgent need for release.

Sasuke heard the door open and was so relieved to see his Master. He really hoped he would be able to cum; the vibrator had just turned on again and he didn't know if he'd be able to make it. "Please; Master; I'm so sorry for disobeying you. Can I cum now, please? I'll do whatever you ask me to from now on." He faintly registered Itachi walking in with what looked like a condom. What the hell was that for? The only reason he could see what Itachi was holding was the fact that the blindfold had come loose from his head thrashing around for a good half an hour.

Naruto smiled serenely at the now unblinded Uchiha on the bed and walked carefully across the room to remove the red cloth form the boy’s neck. After ranting about his past to Itachi it was much easier to go through Sasuke’s pleading. "Yeah I'll let you cum but no sex tonight. I'm too tired right now." with that the blond put his fingers over the cock ring with one hand and with the other he turned off the vibrator. This would require a fair bit of timing on his part. He motioned for the standing sub to put the condom over the straining penis as he carefully grasped the metal ring. "On three... one... two..."

Sasuke screamed in pleasure as the cock ring was released. He jerked violently as he came hard into the condom. He was surprised he didn't burst the damn thing with the force of his orgasm. He panted; tears flowing down his face as he stared up at Naruto; pure submission in his eyes. "Thank you Master." he said quietly as his body went lax. A sob escaped his throat with the overwhelming feelings that came with his release. He really needed someone to hold him.

Naruto smiled tenderly down at his spent sub as he quickly unbound the boy to let him stretch his body out. The blindfold disappeared and the half naked Dom looked around for a blanket or something. It was time for a relaxing cuddle. "Come here Princess; let's get comfortable with our Kitty for the night. Can’t have any of us being to sore to work tomorrow.”

Itachi nodded and lay in the bed with Naruto and his brother. He snuggled up to the blond; feeling the love radiating from the other man.

Sasuke's breathing was finally back to a normal pace as he also curled up against Naruto. He had a whole new respect for the Dom and knew that he would definitely be able to get Naruto to have the same feelings for him; it would just take a bit of time and effort on his part. "Thank you Master; for everything you did for me tonight." He was really grateful to his Master for the lesson he had been taught and knew that he would try not to disappoint Naruto.

The blond purred happily as he tried to put as much of his skin on both his sub’s at the same time without pulling away from either. Maybe Sasuke wasn’t such a lost cause after all. The boy still needed work, a lot of work; but he was by no means beyond hope. The blond struggled with his toes to get his pants off to sleep comfortably and grunted as the tight material resisted his efforts.

Sasuke noticed his Master's struggle with his leather pants and smirked to himself. This was the perfect opportunity to show Naruto how much he was willing to please his Master. "Master? I can help you if you want." he said with a faint blush; not used to being the shy sub that he was slowly turning into.

Itachi smiled at Sasuke's efforts. Maybe Naruto could have both of them after all. He’d just have to wait and see how his Master reacted.

Naruto stiffened for a fraction of a second as though something had pricked him in a tender place. The blond smiled and turned slightly to make the opening of his pants available to the now well behaved Sasuke and nodded his consent. "You may help me. Seems I’m too tired to get this done on my own."

Sasuke nodded his thanks as he grabbed the material on either side of Naruto's hips. No wonder the blond couldn't get them off by himself; they were practically painted on. He managed to slide them down over the slender hips and off the blonde's legs. He took a moment to admire his Master's toned; yet hairless legs and wanted so much to reach out and run his fingertips along the smooth skin. He looked up at Naruto; asking for permission with his eyes; knowing that the blond understood what he was asking.

Naruto smiled down at Sasuke and rubbed a hand gently though the boys hair and just along his scalp. He’d always loved having his scalp gently massaged like this so it was almost natural to perform the same gentle caress on another person whom he loved. Yes he did love Sasuke as well. It wasn’t like he hated him; he wouldn’t be his Dom if he hated Sasuke. Naruto believed more in the emotional side of the D/s lifestyle rather than just the sex and kinkiness of it. He kissed Sasuke’s forehead gently and looked at him once more. "If you like what you see; show me."

Sasuke smiled up at his Master; loving the new feelings that spread throughout his body at the gentleness of the blond. He slowly kissed his way down Naruto's chest; licking each nipple a few times as he went.

Itachi didn't really give a crap what was going on right next to him; all he wanted to do was sleep. He turned over so he was facing his Master and placed a gentle hand on the blonde's back. "Master? Is it alright if I turn the lights off?" He hated sleeping with the lights on.

Naruto smiled as his nipples were teased into upright arousal. He wanted to see what Sasuke was going to do with his 'freedom' but his poor Princess needed all the sleep he could get. "Yeah go ahead Princess; just light a candle for your brother and me to see by. One of the nice smelling ones."

Itachi nodded and stood up slowly. He walked over to the bathroom and picked out a nice vanilla and lavender scented cantle. After lighting it, he set it down on the nightstand next to his brother's side and climbed back into bed. He turned the light off on the other side table and snuggled up to his Master's back; falling asleep almost instantly.

Sasuke continued his nipple worshiping on his Master and ran his hands slowly up the smooth legs to the blonde's hips. He kissed his way down the taut stomach; wondering not for the first time what the marks were on his skin; maybe one day his Master would trust him enough to share; he knew better than to ask.

Naruto arched his back under Sasuke's capable hands as goose bumps rose on his skin under those skilled fingertips. He’d thought he'd be too tired; emotionally to react to any kind of sexual stimulus; but it seemed the blond’s body had other ideas about what was good for it. The blond took a deep breath, faintly smelling the off white candle, and tried not to betray how much he secretly wanted to have Sasuke suck him off right here right now.

The younger raven was just about to his Master's cock. He wasn't sure if he was allowed to touch that particular area or not. He looked up at Naruto; nuzzling the skin of the blonde’s thigh. "May I pleasure you here, Master?" he asked indicating the rock hard length in from of him.

It took all of Naruto’s control not to grab that insanely beautiful Uchiha by his short black hair and just thrust those well formed lips against the head of his upright penis. The pain and weariness brought on by the unsavory memories was gone, replaced by the precursor emotions to one of the better orgasms he would ever have in this room. "Go on; don’t leave me dangling here!” The blond panted as his loins twitched against that soft black hair as thought it had a mind of its own. Maybe it did.

Sasuke hesitated no further and wrapped his soft wet lips around the head of the blonde's cock; his own length hardening once more in pleasure. He would try his best to obey his Master and not orgasm until he was told. Besides; this was for his Master's pleasure, not his.

The blond rolled his head back till he was practically resting against Itachi's strong shoulders. It felt so good and only the head was getting the delicate treatment of Sasuke's tongue and mouth muscles. The kid was a natural it seemed. All that contact between mouth and rigid phallus caused new waves of pleasure to ripple form the point of contact outward until the blonde’s world had shrunk to the space between his body and Sasuke's. He couldn't even hear if any noises were escaping his throat, or if there was any sound at all.

Sasuke reveled in the fact that he could make his Master turn to mush with just the tip of the blonde's cock in his mouth. He wondered what would happen if he went even further. He swiped his tongue across the moist slit; rolling the tiny metal ball in his tongue against said slit. He was curious to see what that would produce.

The blonde’s strangled cry answered the well placed swipe of metal on his engorged loins. Because Sasuke had that particular piercing long before becoming a sub, Naruto tended to forget about the barbell shaped bit of metal. The dark haired boy didn’t even rattle the thing on his teeth when stressed like most people; which was a blessing. That particular sound drove him up the nearest pole or wall.

Sasuke; satisfied with the results he received, slid his mouth further down the hard shaft until the tip hit the back of his throat. If there's one thing he could say he was excellent at; it was deep-throating. Every Dom he'd ever had told him so, and so has this particular Dom. He swallowed around the blonde's cock creating a light suction on the tip of the pulsing length.

Naruto moaned lightly as he felt the muscles in Sasuke's throat start to work his length to near bursting with its special blend. Naruto smiled dreamily while his body convulsed rhythmically in time with Sasuke's ministrations to his swollen loins. Something pricked the blond softly, maybe his conscience, maybe the sleeping Itachi but either way something needed to be said. "Oh God... wherever you learned that... should have charged for this...:"

Sasuke tried not to moan at the words that left the blonde's lips. It wasn't for him to enjoy after all. He placed his hand around the rest of the hard shaft that he couldn't fit into his mouth and stroked it along with the bobbing of his head. He hoped his Master was close; he didn't know how much longer he could take before begging his Master to put a cock ring on him again to prevent him from coming.

Naruto writhed as he put his hands in Sasuke’s soft hair to help enhance the orgasmic rhythm of their lovemaking. It was either now or never! "Oh sweet je.... swallow!"

Sasuke wasn't really sure what the blond meant until he felt warm liquid enter his mouth. He made sure to swallow every drop of his Master's essence; loving the taste of it. He heard a moan escape his throat as the taste washed over his taste buds and slid down his throat; he would do this for his Master whenever his Master asked.

Naruto felt himself relax after having spent himself in Sasuke’s more than capable mouth. There was no smell, none at all. The little sub had drank every last drop of cum and had held himself in until being told it was alright to relieve himself. The blond smiled happily at his well behaved sub and ran his fingers gently through that short black hair that so resembled his brother’s longer locks.

Sasuke rested his head on the blonde's thigh and sighed in contentment. He was so happy that he could do this for his Master; that he didn't really care if he came or not; just as long as Naruto was happy. He thought about this new mentality and realized that he had just been pushing away all the feelings that he should have been embracing in the first place. He really was meant to be a sub, but the concept of the unknown had always scared Sasuke. He wanted desperately to talk to Naruto and tell him how he was feeling. Maybe he could ask..."Master, may I speak freely?"

With the release of unwanted memories and the afterglow of carnal passion, the Dom was only dimly aware that one of his subs had spoken. Maybe it was Itachi asking to not be pushed off the bed this time. "Huh?" was his intelligent response.

Sasuke
crawled up the bed until he was face to face with Naruto and rested his head on the blonde's chest. "I really want to try for you; to have you want me as much as you do Itachi. But; I'm scared of giving up control to someone else. That's why I disobey you so much; because I don't want to lose myself too much." He looked down; a bit ashamed at what he was admitting

Naruto smiled and put a hand on Sasuke’s spine between the shoulder blades. He knew that feeling all too well. He’d just suffered a fit of rage related to that fear. "You just need the right Master to make you feel comfortable with, that's all. Good masters make you feel good about not having control." The blond smiled and curled up so that his nose was buried in Sasuke's hair. The candle was burning strongly and the lavender and vanilla scent permeated the air like an impassioned lover. This one had a lot to learn, and he had plenty of time to be taught the pleasures his master could give him.
