Part 4- Bed
Will came awake with a start, his heart pounding. He hadn’t meant to fall asleep. He looked towards the bed, to find Don alert
and looking around. Looks a little less dead this morning …
“Good morning,” Will said, standing and stretching to give
himself time to wake up. His jeans stuck
to his legs and he remembered that he’d never changed out of his blood-soaked
clothes. Oh well, not like Don doesn’t know he bled last night.
Don was looking down at his own body, his face a grimace of
pain and distaste. It looked even worse
than it had last night, if that was possible.
His shoulders were caked with dried blood, and covered with cuts,
bruises, and burns.
Will needed to get a closer look, check for possible
internal injuries. “Okay,” he said
reluctantly. “Guess we better see what you got yourself
into.” He came around the side of the
bed and Don clutched his sheet around him.
Will sighed. I’ve seen it all already, remember? But he knew this wasn’t about modesty, it was
about shame. Don felt that Will couldn’t
understand. He didn’t realize that he
wasn’t the first person to fall to Channing, or someone like him.
Crouching so that his
eyes were level with Don’s, Will said quietly, “I told you that I was an EMT,
right? I’ve picked up people from The
Chamber before who were in worse shape than you, but then they were usually
dead.”
Don raised his eyebrows and Will nodded, feeling the old,
useless bitterness. “LAPD Vice has kept an eye on them for a while but there
hasn’t been anything they could prosecute.
The Chamber has damn good lawyers.”
He couldn’t help a satisfied smile.
He’d built a tight, clean case for the DEA. “Let’s see them get out of the drug charges.”
Don shuddered, and Will wondered what dark thought caused
that particular shudder. There were so
many possibilities …
Will felt the need to explain, perhaps vainly, that The
Chamber wasn’t what BDSM was about.
After such an experience, Don would probably never understand. Too bad,
because he’d make a spectacular sub– Stop that!
Will gathered his straying thoughts and continued, “I’m
overjoyed to see The Chamber get shut down.
Ninety-nine percent of BDSM clubs are responsible organizations,
concerned with the health of all their members, and dedicated to safe power play. But it’s that last one percent that harbors
monsters like Channing that are the most frightening, especially if someone
goes in there thinking that the club will look after him. I don’t know if The Chamber has even heard of
a Dungeon Monitor. I bet Channing told you that you didn’t need limits or a
safe word.”
Don nodded and, unable to hold it back, Will’s anger boiled
to the surface. He said harshly, “I bet he
also made you think that you were only there for his pleasure. That’s not the way it should work, you should
be his partner, not his … piece of meat.
I bet you had no idea what your role was supposed to be, nobody
explained it to you. Your first Dom was
Ragan, right? Total wannabe. Goddamned filthy
club.”
Will was shaking with anger and he took a few extra
breaths. How many other people had The
Chamber ruined? Well, Don was one too
many. If his drug case didn’t stick, he
may have to go back there with a gas can and matches.
He wanted to touch Don’s arm, but didn’t know how that would
be interpreted. Besides, there was
nowhere to touch that wouldn’t hurt. He
put his hand on the mattress and leaned forward. “I was worried when I found out that you were
being called the sub no one could reach.
Then that night I found out you were under that sick bastard and I was
terrified. There’s been more than one body
carried out of his dungeon.” Will could
see very clearly the outcome of a clash between a stubborn, untutored sub and a
vindictive, arrogant Dom. By the time
that Don finally died, it would have come as a release.
“I was so relieved when I finally got that last piece of
evidence I needed to call in the raid.” A gross understatement. I don’t think dispatch quite knew what to
think of my jubilant demand for a raid. Now he
just needed to give Don a reason, and wasn’t about to give him the truth. “I didn’t want to have to explain to anyone
how I let a fellow Fed get tortured and murdered right under my nose.”
“Now please,” Will begged.
“Let me see?”
Don sighed, closed his eyes, and let go of the sheet. As gently as he could, Will peeled the sheet
away from Don’s body. Will couldn’t hold
back a gasp and Don’s eyes snapped open.
In the light of day, the devastation was even more horrific. Will gritted his teeth, and checked for signs
of internal injuries. Happily, there didn’t seem to be any, or signs of broken
bones, save for the obvious shattered fingers.
The “surface” wounds were plenty.
Will turned to a more thorough examination. To keep his sanity, he forced himself to
systematically categorize the wounds, as if he was writing them on a medical
chart. 1st degree burn, shallow cut, abrasion, shallow cut, 2nd
degree burn – needs gauze, shallow cut, moderate cut, significant bruise – watch
for possible hematoma, 1st degree burn, deep cut – needs butterfly
tape, moderate bruise, 2nd degree burn – more gauze, significant
area of abrasion – possible need for occlusive bandage, swelling – alternate
cold and hot compresses …
The cataloging kept him focused, thinking about salves and
bandages and treatments, instead of the pain that Don must be in. He thought his first-aid kit had everything
he needed, but maybe not in high enough quantities. Might
need to run out to the drugstore.
It wasn’t until Will reached Don’s anus that he lost
control. The huge dildo had been shoved
in without preparation or lubricant. The
area around the asshole was broken and torn.
He carefully separated Don’s bloody ass cheeks and saw the damage that
had been done.
“Damn,” Will hissed. “You’ve
got multiple first-degree anal tears.
That bastard.”
Will turned his head away from Don and fought for
control. Over the last few months, he’d
more than once jerked off to thoughts of Don’s sweet ass. To see it in this damaged condition made him
want to rip Channing’s balls to shreds and shove them down Channing’s throat.
He got himself contained, barely, and turned back to see Don
watching him. Don’s curious look gave
Will the extra incentive needed to gain control. The last thing he needed was for Don to start
questioning his motives.
Frowning, Will mentally reviewed what he needed to
check. Oh right. “Let me see your
mouth,” he said and Don opened his lips.
Will took Don’s chin in his hand and turned him toward the
light, trying not to get distracted by Don’s fine profile. The interior of Don’s mouth was enough to
make him forget. It looked like Don had
taken all of his reactions to Channing’s attacks out on his ball gag. “You must have had one helluva death grip on
that gag. You’ve got sores from your
tongue to your gums to inside your cheeks.
I bet your jaw aches too.”
Don shut his mouth and nodded.
Releasing Don’s chin, Will suddenly felt at the end of his rope. He needed to get away from Don before his
reserve cracked. He summoned up hard-learned
control from Aikido and gave Don a summary.
His voice sounded odd to his own ears, but at least it wasn’t
shaking. “So, burns, bruises, cuts,
abrasions. Along with at least two
broken fingers. Not to mention your
muscles are probably very sore and you’ve lost a lot of blood. The anal tears are the most worrisome since
they can get infected very easily.”
He stood up from the bed.
“We need to get you cleaned up, so I can start plastering you with medication
and bandages.”
It took the last of Will’s energy to walk normally across
his bedroom to the bathroom. He stepped
into the bathroom, shut the door behind himself, and stumbled over to sink to
wash the blood from his hands. Then he
grabbed the sink and held on, letting the tears run down his face.
“How can you hate yourself so much?” he whispered. “How could you let someone do those things to
you? Did you feel like you deserved to
be tortured? God, what happened to you?”
Sudden anger swept through him. “How dare you do that to yourself? I know you’re
not a moron so it had to be deliberate, you had to know what you were getting
into when you met Channing. Fucking
idiot! Forget your job, your career, you
could easily have died in that dungeon!
For what? Pride?”
The anger faded, leaving Will feeling sad … and determined. He wiped his eyes and nose, checking in the
mirror to make sure he looked normal. He
stared at his reflection. He’d set
himself a hard task, was he up to it?
Could he set aside his emotions and do what needed to be done?
Too late to be asking
that. You’ve made your choices and now
you’ve got to turn them into the right choices.
“Don Eppes,” he whispered.
“You are getting my help, whether you feel you deserve it or not. For now, let me care about you enough for
both of us.”
Will opened the door, and went to start putting the pieces
of Don back together.
