Chapter 13
The Pain and the Pleasure

It was very late in the afternoon when Peter finally got up from his hammock nap and stretched. People were beginning to mill about as evening approached. He sighed as he realized he was on his own for dinner this evening. He went over to the common kitchen and fixed himself something to eat. He sat down, ate by himself and thought about his friends. He pushed his food around on the plate. He was worried about them all, even Jack who’d pushed him out of his life just before they’d left. He prayed they were all okay. He knew first hand what people on this island were capable of. He thought about the multiple rapes he’d been through when they’d kidnapped him. He didn’t know how he managed to live through it all.

After dinner he gathered some wood and stoked the main campfire, sitting down facing the ocean. He hoped that he’d have company. He felt very alone tonight. It was unsettling having the people he was closest to on the island gone. After a while he was joined by Nikki who seemed to sense what he was feeling.

“Hey, how are you doing?” Nikki asked as she sat down nearby.

Peter looked up from the fire and gave a wistful smile. “I’m kinda worried about the folks that went with Michael. I think it was a dangerous and stupid move on their part.”

“Well, they’re supposed to be helping Michael get Walt back. You know he’d do anything for his kid.”

“Yeah, I know, that’s what worries me.” Peter looked down at the fire. “I think he’d even kill for Walt – or betray friends.”

Nikki raised her eyebrows. “You think he led them into a trap? Why didn’t you say anything to Jack then?”

Peter smirked. “You musta forgot our fight. He ain’t talkin’ to me. I’m persona non grata right now. He won’t even look at me or make eye contact with me. He wouldn’t listen to me if I’d have gone to him. But I convinced Sayid and he talked to Jack. That’s the reason Sayid, Sun and Jen left in the sailboat. They’re tryin’ to provide some backup I think.”

“Well, maybe things will go okay then Peter. Sounds like Jack has a plan anyway.”

Peter appeared so sad and discouraged as he sighed heavily. “I think they’re in trouble. Jack doesn’t see the whole picture sometimes.”

Paulo ambled up slowly, sat down and put his arm around Nikki’s shoulders. He nodded in Peter’s direction. Peter watched Paulo sit down and nodded back to acknowledge him.

“I’m sure you know him a lot better than the rest of us, but I think Jack’s done a pretty good job at being our leader. This is such a crazy place; I don’t think anyone really knows everything that’s going on.” Nikki put her hand on Paulo’s thigh and leaned slightly against him.

Paulo spoke up, “Sounds like you’re a little sour on Jack, Peter. You don’t like the way he’s been running things?”

“No, that ain’t it. I’m just worried about him and the rest that followed him into the jungle. I just feel so helpless…” Peter threw another piece of wood on the fire.

“Yeah, it was funny how they didn’t want anyone else going along. It would have made better sense for a whole lot of us to have gone. Strength in numbers and all,” Paulo said as he stroked Nikki’s face gently. Peter was aware of each caress they gave one another. He wished that Paulo was touching him instead of Nikki. He was already horny and knew if they kept it up he’d be jerking off in his tent soon.

“That’s what I said too. But I’m on Jack’s shit list now, so my opinion doesn’t count for much.”

“I think Jack would listen to you. He thinks you’re very intelligent. I’ve heard him say so,” Nikki offered. Paulo nibbled the side of her neck. She glanced at him and smiled. Peter was watching them intently.

“He thinks I’m a tramp and he doesn’t want anything else to do with me.” Peter grimaced slightly, shifted and pulled his knees up to rest his arms on. He could feel his cock beginning to stir.

“Well, some people just can’t deal with someone who wants to have sex with everyone. They’re not… what’s the word? Polyamorous. They’re monogamous. Jack’s just monogamous and you’re polyamorous.” Paulo licked his lips and caressed Nikki’s with his fingertips. He’d already noticed that Peter was watching them closely and he glanced over at Peter to see his reaction.

“That’s a good explanation Paulo,” Nikki said as she rubbed his arm.

Peter wished he could get Paulo alone to fuck him. Their sensual touches and caresses were making him crazy. He knew Paulo was doing it on purpose to arouse him.

“I told him early on what I was like and I told him that I hadn’t found anyone who was able to stay in a serious relationship with me. I lived with Julie for a year and a half. That’s the longest serious relationship I’ve had.”

“So you’re bisexual right? You’ll have sex with a man or a woman?” Paulo already knew the answer to his question. He’d already fucked Peter but Nikki didn’t know that.

Peter wasn’t sure why Paulo was bringing all this up. He thought a moment before speaking and licked his lips nonchalantly. Maybe this wasn’t the best time to reiterate that he was more gay than straight. “Yeah, I think I’m considered sexually opportunistic. I’ll take what’s available. I’m versatile.” Peter smiled and sifted sand through his hands.

Paulo kissed Nikki on her neck and whispered something long into her ear. She looked surprised. “Are you serious?” she said quietly. Paulo shook his head yes and whispered to her again. Peter wondered what all the whispering was about. He was about to find out.

Nikki nodded yes and whispered something back to him. They both sat back against their log. Paulo finally spoke, “We have a one-time proposition for you Peter.”

“I’m listening,” Peter said quietly. This could be interesting he thought – it involves both of them.

Paulo looked about to make sure no one was within earshot. “How’d you like to spend the night with Nikki and me for a little fuck-fest and maybe a little domination?”

Peter smiled but was unable to conceal his surprise. Paulo had been so protective and possessive of Nikki, he was amazed at what he was hearing. “Well, you’ve got my total attention. You wanna tell me more about what you had in mind?”

“Well,” Paulo said in a measured voice, “Nikki has commented on your physique and I think she’d like to fuck you. I’ve swung both ways occasionally, and I’d like to fuck you if you’ll let me. We could have a three way with you in the middle.”

“Y’all are both very attractive and I’m very interested in fuckin’ you both.” Peter pushed himself up to sit on top of his log; his hard-on was plainly visible now.

Nikki and Paulo both smiled; excited he wanted to do this with them.

“So when and where? I’ve got a suggestion other than your tent or mine.”

“Well, tonight, but where were you thinking? What’s wrong with our tent?”

“A three-some in your tent will attract attention. There’s a tent in the jungle, not far from here, that’s large and has some furnishings and a good sized bed. We could use it as long as we leave it like we found it. What do y’all think?” Peter asked.

Paulo looked at Nikki who nodded yes. “Okay, but how do we get there?”

“Meet me on the hatch path where the path splits off towards the Black Rock at 11:00 pm. How’s that sound?”

“Sounds fine,” Paulo replied. Nikki hugged and kissed Paulo excitedly. He stood up and offered his hand to help her rise. “We’ll see you later then.” Paulo said as they walked back the direction of their tent.

Peter still felt surprise at what had occurred. He’d have never thought Paulo would let Nikki have sex with anyone else there. He couldn’t believe they wanted to do a threesome with him. Paulo probably realized by now that he wasn’t really interested in Nikki, though she was pretty and nice enough. Paulo had to know he was more attracted to him and would fuck him again if he had the chance. Now he was going to get that chance. He went for a walk along the beach to kill some time.

Peter found himself on the path waiting, 15 minutes early. He shifted the lotion to his back pocket, stuck his torch in the ground and sat down next to the path. He was too eager for this he thought, showing up so early. Soon he saw them coming towards him, Paulo had a back-pack with him and was leading the way. Peter stood up, checked his watch and smiled. They were eager too, they were ten minutes early. They exchanged greetings and followed Peter up the path towards Sayid’s extra tent in the jungle. It didn’t take them long to get there. Paulo and Nikki were both amazed at how homey the tent was and asked whose tent it was. Peter told them it was Sayid’s and that they needed to leave it in the same state as it was in now. He took the lotion from his pocket and handed it to Paulo. Paulo set his back-pack down near the bedding. He slipped one arm around Peter’s waist and pulled him to him roughly, kissing him on the neck, across his jaw to his mouth. He slowly moved his hand across Peter’s cock. ‘Oh God,’ Peter thought, ‘he sure knows what to do to hook me.’ When he broke the kiss, Peter was breathing heavier. He hadn’t thought Paulo would start like this. Paulo rubbed his hand against Peter’s cock through his jeans, firmly squeezing the head of his cock. Peter bit his lower lip and tried to not whimper.

“You’re into BDSM right? Will you let me be in charge and do whatever I say? I promise it will be memorable,” Paulo asked, looking into his eyes intently.

“So this is what you meant by dominating. You want to top and have me sub then?”

“Yes, I want to be in charge. I want you both to obey me or face the consequences.”

He felt a little conflicted. He hadn’t done anything like this before with Paulo. He wasn’t entirely sure he could trust him. He glanced over at Nikki trying to read her expression and then back to Paulo. He slowly nodded yes. He should have known the Paulo would want to top both of them. He’d have to be subservient to Paulo now, even in making love to her.

“Tell me yes, Peter.”

“Yes, you’re in charge and I’ll obey you.”

“That’s a good boy,” Paulo said as he grinned seductively. He moved behind Peter and pressed against his back. “Nikki I want you to kiss Peter so that he sees what a good kisser you are and then I want you to unbutton and remove his shirt.” Nikki leaned in and kissed Peter several times. Peter moaned. He was so turned on with the situation and he could feel Paulo’s hard-on against his ass. Nikki began to unbutton his shirt. As she opened it up and slipped it off Paulo began to caress and kiss him. Nikki ran her fingertips lightly across his nipples and tugged gently. Peter shuddered at her light touch.

Paulo pulled off his own canvas belt, took both Peter’s wrists, crossed them and began strapping them together behind his back. “I think you need restraining for a while. It’ll make things more interesting.”

“Work on his nipples, Nikki. I want to feel what you’re doing to him in his reaction. Make him squirm.” She began licking and then sucking hard on them. Peter was breathing harder. She began to nibble on them harder and Peter whimpered and squirmed in Paulo’s arms. “Stay still, don’t move,” he ordered him. Nikki continued to vary the intensity of what she was doing. Peter moaned – they were making him crazy already and things had just started. “Undo his pants and push them down his thighs and take them off.” She unzipped his pants slowly and pushed them down and off. His cock was rock hard and already leaking pre-cum. He tried to calm himself down, but that became impossible when Paulo began feeling his balls and cock from behind him, stimulating him. Peter moaned, “Oh God!” and his head went back against Paulo’s shoulder. Paulo enjoyed the effect he was having on Peter. He looked back at Nikki. “You’re not making this intense enough; I can’t feel his reaction Nikki.” Peter braced himself; this was probably going to hurt. She reached out and took both nipples in her fingers and began squeezing them incredibly hard. He cried out and tried to pull away from her. He’d never felt a woman have that much grip strength before. Paulo put one arm around his waist to hold him and was using the other hand to stroke Peter’s cock hard. She pulled hard on his nipples repeatedly before gripping them again and twisting them hard. She was really hurting him and he’d called out his safe words before he could stop it, “Mercy Master Please!”

“That’s your safe phrase huh? So Jack was topping you wasn’t he? You’re doing good Nikki; you got him to safe word you.” Peter whimpered. He’d not meant to call out his safe words. She’d succeeded in making him sore; his nipples were reddening and plumping up under her hands. Paulo removed the canvas belt, setting his hands free. Peter rubbed his aching wrists. “Come and stand here.” He gestured for her to stand in front of him and took Peter by the wrist and pulled him so he was facing Nikki.

“Take her clothes off Peter, strip her!” Peter looked back at Paulo, a little unsure. “Don’t hesitate and don’t question me! Do it when I tell you or I’ll punish you both. Strip her off and then wait for my order. I want you to obey me and do exactly as I say.” Peter nodded and began unbuttoning her blouse. He moaned appreciably at the sight of her lacy black bra and her amble bosom. He put his arms around her and unhooked her underwire bra, sliding it down her arms. It was all he could do to not touch them, but he knew Paulo would punish him for sure if he did without permission. He drew down the zipper of her shorts and pulled them down and off her. He should have known, matching black lacy panties. God she looked so good like this. He glanced back at Paulo again who looked impatient. He went down on one knee, hooked his thumbs into her panties at her hips and pulled them down her body slowly. He made an appreciative noise when he saw she was clean shaven. He could see she was excited, she was glistening wet already from anticipation. It reminded him of his dominatrix who would punish him and then reward him by letting him lick her pussy until she orgasmed. Before he had even thought it through, he’d leaned forward and began licking between her pussy lips. Nikki gasped and moaned. He knew he’d screwed up when he felt Paulo grab a handful of his hair and pull his head away so he was looking up at him. He heard Nikki whisper, “Oh no!”

“I didn’t tell you to do that! Stand up!”

Peter stood up and wouldn’t give Paulo eye contact. He’d fucked up and now Paulo was going to get off on punishing him. Paulo backed him up to the center of the shelter, took his wrists, crossed them in front of him and belted them together again tightly. He reached up over their heads and pulled on a long rope he’d seen, wrapping and tying it around the belt. He went over and pulled the rope up high and tied it off so Peter was fully stretched out with his arms straight over his head, his feet hardly on the ground.

“You know, I watched Sawyer whip you at night once, way down the beach. You seemed to get off on it. I hope so because that’s going to be your punishment! We’ll see what you’re made of.”

Peter was sucking on his lips. He felt really anxious. He was vulnerable and they hadn’t discussed any of this beforehand.

“This makes me really nervous Paulo. I don’t know if y’all know what you’re doin’ or not. We didn’t talk about doin’ S&M. Can I safeword you if I can’t take any more?”

“We know what we’re doing. Don’t say it unless you mean it.”

“If I safeword you, I fucking mean it. You need to stop.” Peter was breathing heavy and fast. He was worrying about what he’d gotten himself into now. They’d been clear this was to be a one-time thing so they might not hold back from really hurting him. If Paulo was sadistic and tortured him, there was nothing he would be able do about it but scream and beg.

Paulo went over to his backpack and withdrew two whips. He came back over to Nikki and held them out. “Choose one and leave me one,” he ordered. She took a cruel looking cat-o-nine-tails whip from his left hand thinking he’d be left with the lesser one to use. Hers had nine separate woven tails with a knot and three strands at the end of each one. Peter grimaced as he looked at it. He’d been whipped by a cat-o-nine-tails before. He knew those knots could tear your flesh.

“I’m going to have Nikki punish you but I’ll try to make it a little pleasurable Peter. Nikki, stand behind him. I want you to give him 50 hard lashes with the cat across his upper back, ass and thighs. Start with his ass. If you don’t make them hard, I’ll give the same number to you. Do you understand?” Nikki shook her head yes sadly.

Paulo looked into Peter’s scared and pleading eyes. He was enjoying the fear he was seeing there. Peter knew that Paulo would probably get off on his begging but he felt he had to, “Christ, please don’t make me take that many strokes. Please? What I did isn’t worth that…”

Paulo held his whip across his lips to hush him. “Look at Nikki, Peter.
She is getting punished too because of what you did. She doesn’t want to lash you but she will to keep me from doing it to her. I’m going to play with you as she does her work so you’ll at least have some pleasure with your pain.” Paulo smiled like a devil. “I want you to count them aloud Nikki.” She nodded.

Paulo stepped in front of him, admiring Peter’s naked lean yet muscular body stretched out before him. He ran his hands slowly down his body, kissed him and caressed his face gently. He could feel Peter tremble. He reached down and took Peter’s cock in his right hand and began stroking it. “Start now Nikki” he commanded. The cat stung him as she struck him across his ass. Peter pushed against Paulo’s hand trying to escape the pain and hissed. “One” she called out. Paulo stroked Peter’s cock again.

“Two.” He gasped and tried to move away again, but Paulo held him firmly by his cock.

“Three.”

He hissed again as the cat stung and bit his flesh. Paulo ran his other hand under Peter’s balls and began caressing them as he stroked him.

“Four.”

“Ohhh God!” he hissed in pain. Paulo ran one hand across his chest caressing him as he stroked him at the same speed.

“Five.”

“Shit!” This was much more painful than he would have anticipated. Nikki had a powerful stroke and her fear of being flogged herself pushed her to not hold back. She was so sorry now that things had taken this turn. She knew that Paulo was enjoying this.

“Six.”

Peter was in pain and what Paulo was doing was both exquisite and horrible at the same time. His body didn’t know what to respond to. The pain was over-riding the pleasure.

“Seven.”

Peter had tears in his eyes now. He could tell the strokes were tearing his skin up. Paulo held him tightly, not letting him move away from her.

“Eight.”

He whimpered and clamped his jaw shut, trying to not cry out. He knew it was a losing battle though. This was a particularly nasty cat and he knew he’d be torn up after this. Paulo went down on his knees taking his cock into his mouth.

“Nine.”

A higher whimper this time. Paulo swirled his tongue around the head of his cock and moved up and down on it.

“Ten.”

“Christ this hurts!” Peter gasped. Paulo responded by sucking up and down on Peter’s cock harder.

“Eleven.”

“Fuck!”

“Twelve.”

A long whimper that this time was marked by tears he could no longer contain.

“Oh God!”

Surely Paulo knew how bad this cat was, how much it hurt.

“Thirteen.”

He was pushing against Paulo, trying to escape the blows.

“Fourteen.”

“Please… oh God…”

“Fifteen.”

“Paulo… please… mercy!” Peter was trembling.

“Stop for a moment Nikki.” He stood up and took Peter’s jaw in his hands looking in his eyes. “Do you want me to stop this Peter? Because I will if that’s what you want, we’ll stop it all and we’ll go back to our tents. Or we can continue with your punishment and we’ll go on to your reward. It’s your decision.” Paulo took Peter’s cock in his left hand and smeared the pre-cum around the head. Peter thrust up against his hand.

“That’s not fucking fair. This really hurts. I don’t know if I can stand it or not.” Paulo wiped the tears on Peter’s face with his thumbs.

“All you have to do is use your safe-words and we stop it all. No hard feelings. Do you want to continue?” Paulo could see the conflict on Peter’s face. He was struggling, trying to decide. He desperately wanted Paulo to fuck him tonight but doubted it was going to be worth going through all this. He finally nodded yes and lowered his head. He couldn’t believe he was going to let them continue to abuse him this way, just so he could fuck them both tonight. Paulo took the other flogger from his pocket and handed it to Nikki, taking hers away. “Use this one. It’ll still hurt, but won’t cut the skin as much.” He nodded at her to continue.

“Sixteen,” she continued.

Peter tried to not moan but it was hard, Paulo started playing with his cock and balls again. Peter closed his eyes and tried to focus on what Paulo was doing rather than the flogging that Nikki was giving him. He clamped his jaw together tightly again. Tears rolled down his cheeks. When Nikki got to thirty, Paulo stopped her. Peter was trembling and shaking badly.

“Stop, I think he’s been punished enough Nikki.” Paulo kissed him slowly, but Peter pulled his face away, upset that they’d done this to him. He hurt like hell and could feel every strike he’d taken. Some of them were bleeding. Paulo undid the rope and the belt from his wrists. Peter rubbed them trying to ease the pins and needles in them.

“Maybe you’ll do exactly as I say now Peter. Get down on the bed Nikki. Face up. Peter, I want you to kneel at her feet.” They both got down on the bed as Paulo removed his own clothing. “Separate her legs and I want you to use your tongue to get her off. Make sure she enjoys it.”

‘Bastard,’ Peter thought. ‘Punishes me for this with a whip and now tells me to do it.’

Peter bent down and separated her legs and put his head down between them. He had her moaning quickly. She reached down and ran her fingers through his hair. It didn’t take him long to have her coming repeatedly. She was louder than he’d thought she would be and he was glad now that they weren’t in camp.

He was focusing on Nikki when he felt Paulo’s hand rub across his balls and up his dick. Peter moaned as his cock grew rock hard under Paulo’s touch. He glanced back at Paulo. His look was of pure need. He wanted Paulo to fuck him. He wanted his reward.

“Turn over on all fours Nikki, so he can fuck you,” Paulo directed as he continued to jerk Peter’s cock. Nikki turned over onto all fours and Peter separated her legs.

“Bend over her and don’t move,” Paulo ordered him. Peter did as he was told as he felt Paulo’s knees now pushing his further apart. Paulo separated his ass cheeks and Peter felt his tongue run from his balls up his crack.

“Oh fuck!” he moaned. It felt so good it was really hard to not move. Paulo moved down lower and sucked his right ball into his mouth gently, licking it and then the left one. Peter moaned and moved against her slightly. This was driving him crazy. Paulo rimmed his ass slowly, agonizingly slow. Peter felt two wet fingers pushing their way into him. “Oh God, fuck!” he muttered. He wanted Paulo to fuck him right now.

Paulo pulled his fingers out and held him by the ass. “Put it in her and fuck her now,” he ordered.

Peter gently ran his fingers over her slit and found it slick and ready. He rubbed his cock across her pussy lubricating it before he slowly pushed in. He bent forward slightly as he began thrusting and ran his fingers across her body.

“Oh God, that’s so good! Mmmmm.” Nikki said breathing harder.

Peter gradually increased the pace. Nikki reached back and ran her hand along his thigh. He began rubbing her clit as he fucked her. It didn’t take long until he felt her orgasm clench around his cock. Nikki moaned and panted loudly. He wanted to bring her off more than once, but found himself distracted as Paulo pressed against him and ran his hands up and down his torso. His touch hurt and felt good at the same time. It wasn’t easy fucking one person when another was doing their best to drive you crazy. And Paulo definitely had his attention. He was rubbing his ass with his hard-on.

“You want it? You want this in you?” Paulo asked. He wanted to hear Peter say it.

Peter nodded. “Yeah I want it.”

“Beg me.”

“Come on Paulo, please. Fuck me. You know I want it. Don’t make me wait any longer. Please.”

“Well, since you asked so nicely. Hold your ass open, boy.” Peter separated his cheeks and felt Paulo line up and then push firmly all the way in. Peter gasped and thrust the rest of the way back into Nikki.

“Ohhh, God, wait just a second – let me relax,” Peter begged. It was intense being in Nikki and having Paulo filling him up.

“Okay?” Paulo asked and when Peter nodded yes, Paulo told him to begin fucking Nikki again. Paulo held his hips tightly and when Peter moved and thrust into her, Paulo thrust in time into him.

“Fuck, this is so good, oh damn,” Peter said loudly. After a little while Paulo told him to pick up the pace. They moved as a unit for a while when Paulo decided to make it more interesting. He pulled out part of the way and when Peter’s ass came back he thrust hard. Peter moaned loudly. He was alternating between Nikki’s pussy and Paulo’s cock.

“Bend over her more,” he ordered Peter as he changed his position slightly so he rode Peter higher. This time when he thrust, he pushed directly against Peter’s prostate.

Peter’s cry was high this time as he clenched around Paulo’s cock. Paulo thrust firmly again and again against it. Peter had his arms wrapped tightly around Nikki. His orgasms were hard and he knew if he moved at all he’d ejaculate into her.

“You’re my bitch now Peter Ford and don’t you forget it. I’ll fuck you whenever I want to and you’ll bend over and offer up your ass to me anytime I demand it. Won’t you? Won’t you?” Paulo thrust extremely hard to emphasize his words.

“Yes, yes. Oh damn…” Peter whimpered. He’d have probably agreed to anything at this moment. He was notorious for agreeing to things when he was being fucked hard.

“I want you to come in her now! Shoot your load!” Paulo demanded, maintaining control up to the last.

Peter thrust into Nikki hard and fast and knew he was going to come. The sexual intensity was overwhelming. Paulo thrust hard into this ass and Peter cried out as he emptied into Nikki. It was only moments until Paulo cursed and emptied himself into Peter. He waited for Paulo to pull out first. As he waited, Paulo slapped him hard across the ass. Peter gasped and thrust hard against Nikki.

“Fuck! That hurt like hell! Damn Paulo, you know I’m torn up from the cat! Jeez.” Peter pulled out of Nikki who turned around, caressed his face and kissed him.

“Sorry, didn’t mean for that to hurt.” Paulo tried to touch him soothingly to apologize but Peter shied away.

Peter moved over on the bedding and lay down on his back gently. It hurt him everywhere he’d been whipped. Paulo got up to put out the oil lamps then lay back down between them. Paulo kissed Nikki and asked her if she was satisfied. She murmured yes. He rolled back towards Peter. “You okay Peter? You’re awfully quiet.” He ran his hand behind Peter’s neck and caressed his jaw gently.

“That was really intense. I didn’t know we were gonna do all that. I’m torn up from the cat, sore and just want to sleep.”

“I understand, it was more intense than you thought it would be. But maybe we can have a threesome again sometime.”

“Don’t know. We’ll see,” Peter said quietly as he turned over onto his belly. He thought to himself that this threesome was probably best left as a one-time event. He felt Paulo’s hand move to rest gently on his ass as he went to sleep.
