My territory

10. Affection

Jeff doesn't say anything when, after another round, a sated Bible falls asleep by his side.

Or when in the morning he borrows a t-shirt and pants before going back to his own cell. In fact, Jeff doesn't even show he's awake and half hears half watches him carefully getting out of bed and grabbing some clothes in silence. 

When Bible comes back later to return the clothes, perfectly folded, Jeff just points to the chair for Bible to leave the bundle and calmly continues to talk to his men, not acknowledging him.

Jeff doesn't confirm but he doesn't deny either so Bible is not discouraged.

Until crucially, the following day, when it's time for the outdoor break, Jeff lets Bible grab his back pocket, showing publicly he's his bitch.

Bible's fingers wriggle a bit inside the fabric, he's excited and proud. They walk in silence, a slight swag in their step. They see many surprised faces, some don't know Bible and are wondering where the heck he comes from.

He's officially Princess bitch. Noone can be closer to Jeff than him.

Some time later, when they come back inside the corridor, Jeff whispers on Bible's ear:

- Are you happy now?

Bible nods, a smile in his eyes.

- Come to see me tonight - says Jeff, releasing himself from Bible's grip on his trousers.

When Bible gets into the cell that night Jeff has a light harness with a collar, for Bible to wear. The collar has a ring on the front, Jeff passes his index and middle fingers through the ring and brings Bible's face very close to his.

- Are you sure you want this?

Bible nods, a spark in his eyes, looking back at Jeff almost defiantly.

He makes Bible go on his knees and opens the fly of his trousers. From Bible's perspective, it's all about Jeff's pleasure. He's going to do him so well he won't remember any of his previous lovers.

For Jeff, after so long without wanting to have sex with another human being, it feels like the dam controlling his libido has collapsed. He is consistently horny, always looking for his bitch Bible to play or be played.

Bible sometimes follows the rules, some times he breaks them, but he always touches his body reverently and fucks Jeff almost every night.

Seamlessly, Jeff and Bible start living as a couple.

It takes him over a week to realise that other inmates are scared of him now. His proximity to Jeff has given him a status in the pecking order he's never ever experienced before, not even in his life before prison. 

Some inmates start being kind to him in the cantine, out of the blue, and Bible feels proud and flattered, until Jeff pops out his bubble:

- I saw you talking to Pond, if you keep being friendly to him, he will think he can start asking for favours.

They are not the only people who treat him differently. Boss and Big are suddenly stiff around him, a bit jealous of their sudden closeness, because Jeff's past lovers weren't quite like this.

They can see Jeff has a genuine soft spot for Bible although he doesn't show it so much in public.

They also know that they fuck almost every night, because of the numerous traces of their passionate sessions left in the morning, and they can see how their boss follows Bible with his eyes every time he's within sight.

A couple of weeks later, Jeff is riding Bible, who is sitting with a straight back, holding him in his arms. Bible picks up pace and tightens his grip around Jeff's waist, raising his hips in powerful thrusts while listening to Jeff's moans.

The climax is close, Jeff's moans are replaced by Bible's groans when Jeff bites on the fleshy part of Bible's shoulder, hard enough to leave a perfect round red mark.

The pain is numbed by the pleasure. Afterwards, when they are lying down and he is absentmindedly tracing his mark on Bible's body, Jeff says:

- I want to get you a tattoo. I want you to carry my mark.

Bible keeps silent, deep in thought.

- But maybe you have a little boyfriend or girlfriend waiting for you to come out?

Bible shakes his head.

- No - he says quickly - I have nothing waiting for me. Not even my family. They are so disappointed in me, they say I am on my own.

Jeff knows is not very dignified to  feel good hearing that answer, but be feels both happy and relieved. He thought he had to fight with some lover from his past life, or with his family duties. The fact that Bible is free to follow him if he wishes is exhilarating.

- Then when you come out, come live with me. You can work in my family business.

- Sure - says Bible - but I want to study, would that be possible? Also, that's all so far away. I still have six and a half years in my sentence.

- Seven years? Fucking hell! But you said it was accidental homicide? No previous offenses right? - snaps Jeff.

- Yes, yes, I suppose I was unlucky - says Bible in an emotionless voice.

- Ok, don't worry. I'll be free in two years and I don't want to be outside waiting for you - says Jeff, before kissing Bible's head.
