Part One of Two – Plans

'Public schools are the nurseries of all vice and immorality.'

Chapter 1 – Mentoring

'A public school is what is necessary and is that which will add to his happiness hereafter and be a source of great satisfaction to yourself.'

(Headmaster's study of a renowned public boarding school in England, 1970s)

The word 'public' in the term 'English public school' is, of course, a misnomer. Such establishments are actually private, generally run to educate the children of the privileged upper and middle classes, with the offspring of the plebeians confined to state institutions.

Many English public schools are for boarders only, with fathers and mothers apparently happy to lose their children to such places for the full three terms of the academic year. Most of these parents advocate that they are acting selflessly in sacrificing some of their time with their sons and daughters because doing so assists their education. None will confess to actually being selfish, as living without their offspring offers them the opportunity to pursue with greater vigour their careers and the continued accumulation of wealth, plus the enjoyment of hectic social lives.

Many English public schools are housed in old formidable buildings akin to stately homes, and some have similar countryside settings. This two-part story is set in such a privileged place.

The headmaster of this renowned and prestigious English public school was carefully appraising the new boy, whose surname was Langford and who was sitting in a chair on the opposite side of his large desk. The fair-haired blue-eyed 11 year-old had arrived later in the academic year than was normal but such a scenario suited the man who was studying him.

As a result of his careful visual appraisal, the headmaster, Dr. Kirk, decided that he could use Langford's late arrival to initiate the nefarious design that he had been planning since the beginning of the term, both to satisfy his secret sexual desires and to maintain an ancient school tradition. He actually launched his wicked scheme after hearing a polite knock on the door of his study.

"Enter!" Dr. Kirk commanded in response to the knock and consequently the door of his study opened and another older boy came inside in line with the headmaster's instruction. As usual on viewing this particular exceptionally beautiful 13 year-old pupil, the man's cock secretly hardened within his trousers.

Dr. Kirk was a sadistic pederast, which was one of the main reasons why he had chosen to become a teacher in English boarding schools after gaining his university doctorate. Such establishments were notorious for regular use of the cane as punishment and for being hotbeds of homosexuality.

With no access to girls, most pupils, as they passed puberty, chose to indulge their newly discovered sexual urges with others within their own age group instead of just restricting themselves to personal masturbation. Some of them were even open to seduction by older boys and adult male staff, who shared Dr. Kirk's tastes.

Dr. Kirk had himself managed to use his position over the years to satisfy regularly his attraction for pretty boys. As they had usually been willing or blackmailed participants in the sexual liaisons, none of them had ever later betrayed him, even after leaving school to enter adult life.

Such past pupils might subsequently as adults have abhorred what they had indulged in with Dr. Kirk but a mixture of personal shame and pride quietened their tongues. None wanted anyone else to know that they had willingly been sexually molested as a child or been blackmailed into letting the situation arise, and consideration for the reputation and traditions of their school alma mater also encouraged silence.

As with all such educational establishments, pride in the school and its traditions was instilled into all pupils. Consequently, none wanted to betray confidences about some of the goings-on there.

Dr. Kirk had also carefully and successfully managed to hide his predilections behind a skilfully constructed façade of utter respectability. His academic qualifications and career were superficially faultless. He was also married with three daughters, who attended a girls' boarding school, and he kept his wife reasonably sexually satisfied, thereby disguising his principal tastes from her.

"You asked to see me, Headmaster," said the 13 year-old pupil with straight dark brown hair and similarly coloured eyes, after entering the study, closing the door behind him and standing in front of Dr. Kirk's desk. As he did so, he noticed the younger and very pretty boy sitting in the chair.

"I did indeed, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk replied. "Let me introduce you to young Langford here," the headmaster continued, "who's just arrived to begin life in our school."

Blincoe looked again at young Langford, who was now returning the stare, and extended his right arm. "Hello!" the older boy subsequently politely greeted the younger, whilst shaking hands.

"Hello!" Langford responded, albeit more quietly, which denoted his bashfulness and apprehension at beginning life as a boarder at the school. Blincoe immediately perceptively recognised the younger boy's shyness and worry, as he had felt very much the same on his own starting day. He therefore smiled back at him in an attempt to establish a quick rapport and to reassure him that there was nothing about which he should be afraid.

Langford responded by smiling back too, albeit rather sheepishly. Nevertheless, the facial gesture caused a tingling to develop in Blincoe's groin, along with a slight blushing of his cheeks and a lustful sparkle in his eyes.

Dr. Kirk could tell from long experience what effect young Langford was having on the pubescent Blincoe from the older boy's revised facial expression. The headmaster was therefore confident that his nefarious plan would work.

"As young Langford here is starting school late," Dr. Kirk went on to advise the older boy, "I've decided to recruit a mentor for him, who'll introduce him to life here. I've chosen you, Blincoe, as you seem a nice enough and mature enough chap to fulfil the role!"

Blincoe was aware that slightly older mentors had been appointed in the past to help latecomers to adapt to boarding school life but he had never considered that he would be selected to perform such a function. The boy was therefore flattered by Dr. Kirk's announcement, although he would have been horrified to discover the headmaster's real motive.

"Thank you, Headmaster," Blincoe politely replied, whilst a gleam of pride appeared alongside the lustful sparkle in his eyes, whilst he again glanced at young and very pretty Langford. The perceptive Dr. Kirk noticed and was very glad to observe the maintenance of the latter glimmer.

"I'm temporarily moving Burrows out of your study-bedroom, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk went on to inform, "so that you can share instead with young Langford whilst you perform your mentoring role." In reaction to this announcement, the smile immediately disappeared from the older boy's face, which was a response that was also spotted by the headmaster.

The school no longer accommodated pupils in big dormitories but instead paired boys of the same age in smaller study- bedrooms sleeping two. As a result of such sharing, Burrows had become the best friend of Blincoe.

Blincoe therefore did not welcome the news that his best friend was being moved out of the room that they had shared since the beginning of term. The two boys had also been together in similar accommodation elsewhere for their first two years in the school.

"Don't worry, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk continued, in his own attempt to reassure, "the move will only be temporary until young Langford is thoroughly….bedded in….to life at the school. I'll then move him to share a study-bedroom with another boy of his own age and return Burrows to your….loving care!"

Blincoe was by now thoroughly acquainted with Dr. Kirk's attempts at acerbic humour. He therefore initially assumed that the headmaster's use of the term 'loving care' was another sarcastic comment designed to amuse himself if no one else. However, the boy's early presumption was somewhat rattled by the strange smirk that had appeared on the man's face simultaneous to him using the phraseology, plus the earlier 'bedded in'.

Blincoe also began to think that he could detect some mischief in Dr. Kirk's smirk when he had said these words. Consequently, the boy's facial blush intensified, whilst he wondered whether the headmaster somehow knew in what secret activities he and Burrows sometimes indulged when alone together in their study-bedroom in order to satisfy their growing mutual pubescent lusts.

Perhaps fortunately in the circumstances, the older boy's concerns were rapidly curtailed when Dr. Kirk commanded "You may now commence your new role, Blincoe. Take young Langford and show him the school!"

Not long afterwards, Dr. Kirk was alone in his study. For a few moments the headmaster considered Blincoe's reaction to Langford and concluded that his scheming would work, as he now had no doubt that the older boy, with his raging pubescent hormones, would not be able to keep his hands off the lovely younger one for very long.

'I'll give Blincoe no longer than a week,' Dr. Kirk eventually mentally concluded, 'to introduce Langford not only to the school but also to the joys of mutual masturbation, like he practises with Burrows. Then, he'll be mine!'

Chapter 2 – Voyeur

'Riotous, insolent and annoying to others, like the gaiety of a drunken man.'

-unflattering description of boyhood by Dr. Thomas Arnold (famed headmaster of Rugby School between 1828 and1842, who appears in Thomas Hughes' 'Tom Brown's Schooldays' of 1857)

(Study-bedroom of Blincoe and Burrows in a renowned boarding school in England, shortly afterwards)

Dr. Kirk stood in the middle of the study-bedroom assigned to Blincoe and Burrows, as he had done on many previous occasions when, as now, the present occupants were attending class. The headmaster simply enjoyed the voyeurism of being in the room in which the current boy of his dreams slept.

Dr. Kirk revelled in the boyish smells that pervaded the room, sitting on the single bed on which Blincoe slept and now frequently masturbated, more often than not mutually with Burrows. Despite the fact that both boys were stringently clean, in line with the habits instilled into them by the school, and invariably afterwards cleared up most of their mess, some evidence of their pleasure could usually be found in the form of a little dried stain. However, the headmaster did not have to rely on such proof for his knowledge of the pupils' furtive activities.

Dr. Kirk smiled at the mirror fixed in the study-bedroom to the wall, on the other side of which was a small storeroom accessible just by him because he possessed the only key. The headmaster had spent many happy hours there.

The mirror was, of course, a two-way one, through which Dr. Kirk could secretly view the goings-on in the study-bedroom from the adjacent storeroom and which he had personally installed to replace earlier ancient spy-holes. By using the amenity, the headmaster could watch the boy residents dressing and undressing, washing, studying, sleeping and playing, including the common games of a most intimate kind shared by two close pubescent friends.

Dr. Kirk had even set up a comfortable armchair on which he could sit to enjoy the show. The headmaster was also often accompanied into the storeroom by a flask of tea or whisky and some sandwiches, whilst he additionally regularly found his own rampant cock in his own hand.

Dr. Kirk naturally arranged the assignment to the adjacent study bedroom only of pupils he most fancied, and these tended to be pubescent 13 year-olds. Langford was currently too young for the headmaster's tastes but Blincoe had recently blossomed into the type of boy who was the man's latest ideal and so he had arranged the relevant move of him and Burrows at the beginning of the term.

The experienced Dr. Kirk appreciated that Blincoe did not appear to be the kind of pupil who would react positively to a sexual approach from a member of staff. The headmaster's supposition came mainly from the fact that the 13 year-old seemed to have successfully resisted the amorous attentions of older boys.

Intimate relationships between libidinous older pupils and the prettier of the younger ones were quite common. However, the latter, nicknamed for understandable reasons 'Cherries', often succumbed to sexual advances more out of a desire to avoid bullying than anything else. Allowing an older boy, capable of providing protection, to enjoy their bodies was considered by many juniors to be superior to being the victim of harassment.

To the experienced Dr. Kirk, Blincoe appeared to be an exception. The headmaster assumed correctly that this situation had arisen because the boy had bravely stood up to anyone, of his own age and older, who had tried to bully or seduce him.

Dr. Kirk also presumed that Blincoe's brave stance might have cost the boy the odd thrashing from a bigger or older pupil. However, the headmaster also knew that bullies eventually tended to shy away from those who stood up to them because they were generally not worth the trouble, especially if they managed to inflict a little pain in return and when there were always meeker victims around to torment or seduce.

Dr. Kirk actually admired Blincoe's apparent brave ability to stave off bullies and unwanted sexual approaches from older boys, which he appeared to have managed to extend to his best friend, Burrows. Such courage only tempted the headmaster to desire the boy more and to want to break such resolve.

Chapter 3 – Entrapment

'At nine or ten the masculine energies of the character are beginning to develop themselves or, if not, no discipline will better aid in their development than the bracing intercourse of a great English classical school.'

(Study-bedroom of Blincoe and Burrows in a renowned boarding school in England, 5 days later)

As was common, Dr. Kirk's experienced assessment of a boy proved correct and Blincoe did indeed introduce the, to him, delectable Langford to the delights of mutual masturbation within the week in the privacy of the study-bedroom, which they were currently temporarily sharing. The older boy felt a bit guilty about doing so but his raging hormones and the outstanding prettiness and close availability of the younger newcomer easily overwhelmed such contrition.

Blincoe went about the task of seducing Langford into performance of mutual masturbation in the same relatively simple manner that he had done so earlier with Burrows, who was at first shier and consequently more reluctant to indulge. He did so by initially overcoming any coyness about nakedness within the privacy of their study-bedroom.

Pupils, especially the younger ones, were generally rather shy about disporting themselves naked in front of others, although such a display was compulsory when communal showers were shared after games' or gymnastics' sessions. The speed with which nude bodies were subsequently usually redressed after such activities was testament to the prevailing coy attitudes within the junior age groups.

Blincoe had begun the process with Burrows by nightly unashamedly stripping and washing his naked body at the sink provided for such purposes in the study-bedroom. The boy would often deliberately prolong the task before putting his pyjamas on, aware that his best friend's eyes often strayed to watch with clear interest.

Blincoe next started to ask Burrows whether he had failed to cleanse any bits of his naked anatomy, forcing his roommate to scrutinise his nude body officially and carefully. He then asked his best friend why he only washed his hands and face before putting his own pyjamas on and going to bed, and never removed his underpants whilst doing so.

The eventual result of Blincoe's clever manipulations was that Burrows was finally shamed into washing before bed in the same manner as his roommate, namely comprehensively in the nude. This development now enabled his conniving best friend to make comments about their respective bodies.

At first, the comments would be apparently innocent, such as remarking about a bruise, scratch or pimple. However, Blincoe gradually became more sexually daring through the likes of complimenting Burrows on how nice his bare bottom was before ultimately gravitating towards similar observations about his roommate's genitals.

Burrows initially invariably blushed on hearing such comments but significantly always returned the compliments. This situation eventually emboldened Blincoe to ask his roommate whether he ever played with his cock.

Burrows' latest blush on hearing this question was of a darker hue than ever before but his facial redness quickly diminished when, without waiting for an answer, Blincoe confessed that he had started playing with his penis. "Peculiar things happen when I do so," the boy advised with apparent nonchalance and complete lack of embarrassment, "because I feel a lovely tingling, my cock becomes hard and finally I experience the most wonderful sensation."

"At first, nothing else next happened," Blincoe went on to inform, "apart from a sudden sense of embarrassment and guilt, but eventually my cock also started producing a little clear fluid and now it spurts some white liquid." The boy's apparent nonchalance and shamelessness in relating his experiences achieved the sought-after effect on Burrows, who was encouraged by such an attitude of bravado to lose his facial redness and to make his own confession that he had encountered similar.

There were no formal sex lessons in the school in the 1970s and Burrows, as was common for the era, had never been told about the 'birds and the bees' by his parents, who were too embarrassed to discuss the subject. Most of his peers of the same tender age, who also did not associate intimately with older pupils, were also initially rather ignorant about the subject for similar reasons, as well as mutual bashfulness, and were therefore of little help in eradicating his innocence.

Despite being a 13 year-old, Burrows, like many of his peers, even remained unsure about how humans reproduced. The boy had privately contemplated the subject but had not yet connected his recent discovery of the joys of secret masturbation, and the resultant production from his cockhead of some white liquid, to the process.

Burrows had also at first been very guilty about being unable to stave off early cravings to play with his cock, believing that he must be suffering from some strange perverse affliction. Consequently, the boy had even initially attempted to fight his compulsion but invariably unsuccessfully, causing him to develop a deep feeling of guilt after each act of masturbation at having indulged in something very wicked.

Blincoe was actually similarly ignorant about sexual matters, which did not tend to dissipate in the school in this era until pupils reached 14 years of age. However, he felt less apprehension about his developing feelings and experiences, and no guilt.

Blincoe enjoyed masturbating and so indulged regularly. He was also now highly attracted to Burrows' pretty body.

Blincoe did not know why he was attracted to Burrows' body but, being a rather 'happy-go-lucky boy', he also did not care. He simply wanted to experience the pleasure of playing with his roommate's pretty form and had decided to put into practice his plan to tempt his best friend into permitting him to do so.

Blincoe's plan now concluded successfully for two main reasons. First, Burrows was so relieved to discover that his roommate experienced similar temptations to himself that all of his guilt evaporated. Second, he reciprocated an attraction for his best friend's gorgeous body.

Consequently, when Blincoe concluded his plan by asking his roommate whether playing with each other's cocks might be even more enjoyable, Burrows proved very amenable. Subsequently, the two boys indulged regularly in mutual masturbation in the privacy of their study-bedroom, with mouths sometimes replacing fingers in servicing needy penises, whilst free hands roamed elsewhere.

Dr. Kirk had been a very happy voyeuristic spectator to much of Blincoe's gradual successful seduction of Burrows and remained a frequent secret watcher of the subsequent regular activities. The headmaster also astutely assumed that young Langford would be tempted into similar intimacies in the same way.

Dr. Kirk's assumption proved quickly correct. The headmaster soon found himself one night watching through the two-way wall-mirror the naked Blincoe suck for the first time the little cock of a similarly nude Langford.

Langford was lying on his own bed, whilst his pretty face exhibited clear evidence of his surprise that such oral attention could be so pleasurable. As a result of the sight, Dr. Kirk decided that the time was appropriate to launch his own more nefarious plan.

Dr. Kirk was experienced and intelligent enough to appreciate that the fact that Blincoe was enjoying some sex with the similarly aged Burrows did not create much of a condition for blackmail. Instead, accusing the older boy of wickedly seducing a younger pupil left in his care provided a much stronger case.

Consequently, Dr. Kirk now launched his own nefarious plan. The headmaster quietly left the store and, without knocking, opened the unlocked door of the adjacent study-bedroom, currently temporarily shared by Blincoe and Langford, to discover the older boy 'in flagrante delicito'.

"Blincoe, I'd like you to show Langford…." Dr. Kirk began to say before feigning outraged silence and shock at supposedly discovering what the two boys were doing. The headmaster continued his theatricality by allowing his jaw to drop and pretending that he was momentarily speechless in horror.

In reaction to the shockingly unexpected and deeply unwanted intrusion, Blincoe somehow had the instinctive intuition to run from Langford's bed to his own and hide his naked body under the covers. However, he was not fast enough to prevent Dr. Kirk from gaining a good sideways view of his own fully aroused erection.

Meanwhile, Langford followed Blincoe's lead in hiding his naked body under his bedcovers. However, Dr. Kirk also managed to gain an earlier decent view too of the younger boy's smaller but nevertheless fully aroused erection, which was glistening with spittle.

Dr. Kirk subsequently maintained his feigned appearance of silent outrage for a few more moments before, with apparent eventual restraint, commanding "Blincoe, you evil boy, you will dress in your pyjamas and then come immediately to my study. We need to discuss what I've just seen!"

Chapter 4 – Blackmail

'The best reason I have for opposing fascism is that at school I lived in a fascist state.'

• W.H. Auden

(Headmaster's study of a renowned boarding school in England, shortly afterwards)

"Explain yourself, Blincoe!" Dr. Kirk commanded of the tremulous pupil, who had left the equally fearful Langford back in their study-bedroom. "I….I….I…." was all that the normally brave but currently intensely shamed and frightened boy could say in reply before he lapsed into an abashed and terrified silence.

"Well, as you appear incapable of saying anything in your defence, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk next announced, with seeming impatience and suppressed anger, "I'll instead proceed with the prosecution case. I personally discovered you naked with young Langford, whose penis you were sucking."

"In case you don't already know the term, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk went on to declare, "I caught you in the act of performing fellatio on Langford, the younger boy whose welfare I clearly mistakenly left in your care. You have not only betrayed the trust that I placed in you but have also performed a paedophiliac sex crime, for which you could be arrested by the Police and even imprisoned by the Courts!"

Blincoe's already red face intensified even more in hue, as he listened to the potential repercussions of what he had been doing. The idea of him being prosecuted and even imprisoned, and the shame that such a scenario would bring, not only to himself but also to his family, was immediately almost too much to bear and he burst into tears.

"Tears won't save you from the Police, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk suggested, whilst looking at the boy with apparent disgust but actually secret delight because his nefarious plan appeared to be working. "Instead," the headmaster went on to advise, whilst the tone of his voice softened a little, "the reputation of this school will be your deliverance from such a fate."

"A wicked and perverted boy like you, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk continued, "will not be allowed to sully the reputation of this proud school. The Police will therefore be kept out of the matter. Instead, you will be expelled and your parents will be made aware of the reason!"

To Blincoe's mind, being expelled in such a manner appeared almost as bad as being reported to the Police. Consequently, his tears did not stop flowing on hearing of his reprieve from prosecution. However, discovery of his likely fate did stimulate his vocal cords to acquire fresh fortitude to enable him to speak at last.

"Please….Headmaster," Blincoe begged amidst sobs, "please….don't….expel me. I'm….truly….sorry….for….what….I did. Please….forgive….me and….accept….my reassurance….that….I'll never….do anything….like….that again!"

"Your reassurance, Blincoe!" Dr. Kirk shouted in seeming amazement back at the boy. "How could I possibly know that any promise from you will be kept. You've betrayed my trust once, so why shouldn't you do so again and perhaps not be caught in future?"

"No, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk concluded, "I can't take the chance. I therefore must expel you forthwith!"

"Please no, Headmaster!" Blincoe now began to plea in desperate panic, as his tears started to flow even more freely. "I'll do anything not to be expelled," added the boy, which were the very words that Dr. Kirk was hoping to hear, although he was not going to react too eagerly in response.

Dr. Kirk instead remained silent for a few moments, giving Blincoe some hope that he might be reconsidering his decision to expel. The desperate boy's aspiration was subsequently boosted when the headmaster eventually queried "Anything?"

"Yes, Headmaster, anything!" Blincoe answered with desperate rapidity. The boy next saw that the apparently angered expression on the headmaster's face reacted by being replaced by a rather disconcerting smirk.

"Does this 'anything' include doing to my cock what you were doing to Langford's, Blincoe?" Dr. Kirk asked to reveal finally his ambitions towards his 13 year-old, who was briefly speechless, initially not knowing whether the headmaster was earnest or not. However, the nature of the continued smirk on the man's face eventually caused the boy to assume correctly that the enquiry was very serious.

Despite his original shame and terror, Blincoe was not so traumatised by recent events that his intelligent mind was prevented from working and now focusing on the implications of Dr. Kirk's question. The boy speedily realised that the headmaster was indeed propositioning him into having sex in return for not expelling him.

Blincoe's mind was also still astute enough to realise that he could now attempt to blackmail Dr. Kirk in return. The boy therefore next commented, whilst his tears began to dry up, "But, Headmaster, I could now report you too to the Police for attempting a paedophiliac sex crime. Perhaps we should therefore both forget the events of tonight and let sleeping dogs lie!"

Unfortunately for Blincoe, the boy had miscalculated. The smirk on Dr. Kirk's face did not waver when he replied to his pupil's own attempt at blackmail.

"But you forget, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk responded, "that I have a witness to your own perfidy in the form of young Langford. I'm sure that he will quickly confess everything that happened between you tonight in return for a reprieve from expulsion."

"You, on the other hand, Blincoe, have no similar witness of my attempt to recruit you as my latest sex slave," Dr. Kirk remarked, thereby revealing to the boy's horror the future debasing function that the headmaster planned for him. "If you even suggest that I've tried to blackmail you into playing such a role to the Police or anyone else," the man added, "I'll just refer them to what evil you did to Langford. I'll say that your tale is another wickedness, a falsehood designed to blacken an innocent man who's reported you to the authorities!"

Blincoe's vocal cords again lost strength on hearing Dr. Kirk's reply but somehow his tears did not return. The boy's eyes instead lost much of their dampness, and an expression of horrified surrender appeared.

Dr. Kirk happily noticed Blincoe's abject capitulation and stood up from behind his large desk, which he subsequently walked round to the same side at which the boy was standing. The headmaster positioned himself immediately in front of his pupil.

"You are my latest what, Blincoe?" Dr. Kirk next asked. The headmaster made his enquiry whilst staring into the boy's sorrowful dark brown eyes.

"I'm your latest sex slave, Headmaster," the boy answered, somehow without his voice again stammering. "Then you can immediately begin your duties, Blincoe," Dr. Kirk instructed, to the accompaniment of the sound of a trouser zip being lowered, "by removing your pyjamas, kneeling and sucking my cock!"

"Afterwards, I'll cane you for your naughty failed attempt to blackmail me," Dr. Kirk added joyfully, "and later I'll introduce you to the pleasure of being fucked!"
