Bondage Mansion (Ferard)

Chapter 29: Along Came A Spider

***Journal Entry***

I think I finally have this figured out. My beautiful Ana is a woman full of passion and desire for life as well as love. I thought that I needed to hold back my feelings for her now that we were married. That I could quell the desire that I only showed other less important ladies in my past life, but this contest has shown me that in order to keep Ana, I must work harder than ever to show her that I want her, need her, desire her, own her. She is my prize, my claim, and I will be damned if that man is going to take her from me. As much as it pained me, I watched them together. I studied what he does to her and how he makes her move and tells her when to breathe. He controls her and she not only allows it but seeks it out. I can do the same...I will not lose to Iero again.

***Bert***

Robert spent the entire night reading his father's journal. He closed the book just as the light began to seep into the windows of the Library. They illuminated the destruction that he caused the night before. He looked at the evidence of his anger and realized that he was losing control and had to go back to basics. He was not sure exactly how to, but he hoped that now that he was armed with his father's journal he would make better and informed decisions. He pulled the master key out of his pocket and as he left the Library he locked it. Peter was just rising for the start of his day. He was surprised to see Robert but managed formalities none the less. Robert walked up to Peter and addressed him in a very casual manner that took Peter back for a minute.

"Peter, my old friend. You have been in service with us since I can remember. I want to ask you a question and I want a truthful answer with no fear of retaliation or fear of stature."

"Of course Mast...Robert. What would you like to know?"

"Do you think I am losing him?"

"Honestly Robert? Yes, I think you are. I see him when you are not here and he is different but happy. I am not sure how much of what Master...Frank does to him is part of his enjoyment, but he does not shy away from the man at all. He does not guard himself because he has no fear that he will be admonished for his honesty. This includes his feelings. Although we were all taught that ladies, pardon the comparison, did not act that way unless they were of ill repute, Gerard is different. When he is being passionate about his art, he exudes it. He makes you desire what he has. For some, they want to share it, for others they want to possess it. This is what drew you to him in the first place is it not? You need to remember why you want to be with him and then show him that desire times 100. I don't want to see you fuck this one up. Sorry Sir, was that too much?"

"No Peter, I think that was just enough of a kick in the ass to get me started. I have to make plans now. I will be going away for the weekend until the evening of Sunday. When I return I will have all I need to take care of the situation and turn it to my favor. Thank you again, Peter, for being a good friend all these years."

"I do what I can Robert. Now if you will excuse me; Mr. Wentz has to get Master McCracken's meal ready for his trip."

Robert patted Peter on the back and Peter headed off to the dining room to make sure the table was set properly. Robert reached into his billfold and took out the card from the whorehouse. He ran a finger over it and turned it around away from the name Iero. He looked at the names of the women that wanted him to return. They would be the first to help him with his attack strategy in beating Frank at his own game. Yes, Robert had much planning to do, but first to pack. It was going to be a long journey and he wanted to make sure that he had what he needed to get going.

***Frank***

Frank stretched out lazily on his bed. He had not felt this good in ages. He looked out the window and saw that it was another sunny day. He rolled over and looked at the figure next to him. Gerard was naked with the sheet covering his waist. The collar and chain that ran from the bedpost were moved to the head of the bed. He lie there pale and inviting, waiting to be devoured. Gerard chose that moment to do a cat-like stretch. He arched his back and thrust his chest out towards Frank. His eyes were still closed, but he made the most amazing noise that sent a wave of arousal right to Frank's cock. Without even thinking he moved to Gerard and ran his tongue up his chest. This caused Gerard to add to the noise and buck his hips forward a bit. Frank grabbed a hold of Gerard's thigh and pulled it over his hip. He placed his other arm under Gerard and clasped his lower back and pulled him even closer. The movement startled Gerard awake and he opened his eyes and stared into Frank's.
