Our last 3 days in South River

Thursday, 10^th November

Ben and I had some private time last night. It felt funny, doing it in this house. A few hours later I noticed him leaving the room. After a few minutes I went to find him, he was in the basement! I realised he was asleep, I guided him back upstairs to our room. We went back to sleep, I had my arm around him. Then he tried to slip out again! This time I got our restraints and tied him to the bed. He woke me in the morning, when he was undoing the restraints. He is a morning person, I like to sleep a little longer. He brought me a coffee, and joined me in bed. He could not remember that he had gone to the basement.

At breakfast Ruth asked what the disturbance was during the night. Ben told her he had to be fetched from the basement. He volunteered that he got tied to the bed to stop him from leaving a 3^rd time.

Ruth was surprised that he had sleepwalked, apparently he slept very soundly as a child.

She tries to understand our lifestyle, but she has difficulties with it, I can see it in her face and her body language. Ben does not understand her subtle signals, due to his Aspergers.

Ruth had a flight later that morning, her and Ben went to see Clara, his uncle Jacob's partner, on the way to the airport.

Ben and I met at the Diner for lunch, Marjorie was not there. We had a nice quiet lunch, Ben was satisfied with the time he had had with his mother. He enquired what we had talked about the day before, I gave him a very brief summary.

In the afternoon it started to snow.

Friday, 11^th November

Today Barbara and Erik got married. It was just a short ceremony at the local townhouse.

We went to the Diner for lunch to celebrate. Marjorie was on top form. She had flown to Toronto yesterday, with Ruth. She told her lots of stories, but she said she was able to put Ruth's mind to rest, that Ben had not been exploited by Robert, that Robert became a nicer person after he had met Ben and “would have let himself tear apart by wolves to protect him”. Well, I am glad that Marjorie managed to do in 30 minutes what Barbara and I had tried the day before in 3 hours.

In the afternoon Barbara wanted to rest, Erik joined her, as newly-weds. Ben is still sorting through Robert's stuff. He is uploading some home movies to an USB stick for himself.

It was snowing all afternoon. Gus rang to invite us for a sleigh ride the next day. This time I agreed.

Ben and Erik cooked dinner together again, I am still surprised by their relationship. They are so at ease with each other. Erik used to be “in charge” of Ben when he first lived as a slave. He had lived in the house for several months “normal”, and then began his training and moved into the basement with Erik. Erik was also the person who carried out punishment.

Barbara and Erik are not very active any more, they live mostly vanilla. They have both slipped quite easily into their roles again when it comes to Ben, he seems to unconsciously encourage it.

Saturday, 12^th November

I tied the slave to the bed again, not necessarily to prevent him from leaving, just because I can. After a good breakfast we went to Gus's house with Erik. Erik was prepared to come along and drive a sleigh. We heard the dogs from a mile away. Erik and Ben helped prepare the dogs, get them into their harnesses. The dogs were excited by the snow. I could see Erik was nervous, Gus cited the route we wanted to take, it was very safe, as both Ben and Erik are out of practice. I sat on the sledge with Gus, Erik and Ben were on the other. Erik started off, and they swapped half way through. I had never been sledging before, it was fantastic. When we came back the dogs needed to be sorted first, then we all went into the hot tub. This time Ben was prepared so he could stay in the water longer. Gus very kindly had changed the water to make sure there were no bacteria in it.

He must have put something else into the water, because I did something I have never done before. I engaged in group sex. Well, I did not have intercourse with Gus or Erik, but here was heavy petting involved. I cannot recall now how it happened, we ended up in the house, Gus had disappeared, and Ben wanted to be fucked by Erik and me, at the same time. It is a position he and Erik were experienced with. It was amazing. Ben really loves sex, and he absolutely gives himself.

When we finally got home, we had something to eat and then Ben was tired. Barbara put him into some rope, she is very skilled. As the boy was nearly asleep, he was very pliable. We kept checking on him, he was coping with his restraints.

Ben had told me how skilled Erik is with a whip. We went to the basement and he proved it to me. It was a short, but intense session. I tried to keep it from Ben, but he knew.

Barbara asked me if she can spend the night with the slave. How could I deny her.

Must be funny for Erik, his bride of not even 48 hours is spending the night with another man.
