This is a standalone story.
Although technically it takes place just after chapter 18 of Em and Mike.
However, Master Kerry and his slave/pain slut/boyfriend, Will, also appear in Em & Mike chapters 15 to 18, should you wish to get to know them better, and you will also find them in the BDSM Manor series, on and off.
Tess-O'Meter -- Amber / Red.

I walk into the banquet room, for me a torture chamber, to meet Master Shey who has me on loan from my Master for the evening.
Master Shey is a teacher of Shibari.
He learnt from his grandfather and he is known for safety first in everything.
However, the people who go to his classes or watch his online tutorials don't see the same side of him that we see at BDSM Manor.
Hustling in a close second to safety first, is pain.
Master Shey is a sadist.
Wrapped in only a robe, fresh from my enema (not pleasant or unpleasant to me, just a necessity) I embrace my empty, light feeling (I'm a little hungry and weak as well) and feel blessed that I belong to my Master.
Master Shey has not arrived yet, so I gaze out of the window and daydream about the day I met Kerry.

I was in Belfast, on a gay lads weekend away, which is basically like any lads weekend away, but with more cocktails and glitter.
There were three couples and me. I was the seventh wheel if you like. My friends were on a mission to get me laid, but I wasn't really into hook ups, so I was resistant.
"Best way to get over a broken heart, lovely," my mate Gary's boyfriend told me.
Sean, who had suggested Belfast because it was his hometown and he could squeeze in a visit to his Nan, was in full drag.
It was like walking around with the star of 'Priscilla'. I just smiled and brought the sweet (and opposite of subtle) guy a drink.
My heart wasn't broken.
It was just embarrassed and pissed off.
Belfast may not seem like the obvious choice for a 'gay' weekend away, but everyone had been really nice. Sean knew everyone it seemed, and where to go.
Where not to go, equally important.
I was happy for Gary. Sean seemed like the kind of bloke who didn't wait for things to change. He would just blast through, dragging change with him.
I envied that kind of confidence.
A quick word in the ear of my best mate Trevor, and I wandered out for some alone time.
Walking around the streets and soaking up the atmosphere.
I wasn't worried about walking around Belfast alone if that's what you're wondering.
I wasn't in drag (sooo not my thing) and I don't have GAY stamped across my forehead.
Plus, I have the 'when in Ireland get out of jail free card' of an American accent.
I'm actually a Londoner but lived in the States from the age of three, until my parents split when I was fifteen.
My Dad's American and still lives there, and in over ten years, I've never lost the accent. Well, I'm still over there half the time.
Deciding that it was time for a pint I wandered into a pub and was immediately flummoxed by the thick accent of the guy behind the bar.
"Er," I offered, "maybe I can just point and pay?"
The guy laughed and toned down the accent, "Ah, a Yank. I was just joking with you. What can I get you?"
I laughed, "Well, when in Rome!"
He nodded and started building me a Guinness.
We chatted on and off about nothing much, and when he wandered away to serve someone else, I just relaxed and idly people watched.
My gaze wandered over to a roped off area where a man and woman appeared to be holding some sort of meeting.
My eyes followed the, very well filled out, line of the man's suit and then, "Holy Fuck."
My pint hit the bar with a clatter as I fumbled it, and I winced, blushing when they both looked over.
"Sorry," I mouthed and turned away, thanking the barman when he came and mopped up my splashes.
"You want me to get another?" he asked.
"No," I said, breathless, "No thanks, I didn't spill much."
"You okay?"
I just nodded, sipping my drink. My heart was thundering so fast and I knew he had noticed my hands shaking.
Not long afterwards the meeting broke up and I heard the woman giving her thanks and leaving.
Shit, the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my life was coming over to the bar.
Christ, I ran my hand through my hair.
I've crushed on plenty of straight men, of course I have. Let's face it, Hugh Jackman's straight and hot as fuck, but this.
This felt enormous.
I felt that if I didn't get this man's mouth on mine, then my life was over.
This was devastating.
The barman came over and spoke over me, meaning the hot guy was right behind me.
"So, it's going to be London is it?"
"I don't know," the voice was like velvet. Deep, dark, the accent softer than the barman's. I shifted, uncomfortable as I hardened.
"I haven't been offered the job yet," sounding amused, the gorgeous man slid his gorgeous butt on to the bar stool next to mine.
Right. Next. To. Mine.
I was dying.
Staring hard into my pint like I could predict the future in it, or something.
"Ah, it's a sure in," the barman said, handing over a glass with a finger of scotch, "she was clearly impressed."
"Thanks," he said.
I risked a quick glance as he drank, watching his adam's apple as he swallowed, swallowing in reflex myself. Allowing my eyes to flit quickly over his dark honey colored hair, the slightly darker shadow on his jaw.
My face burning, I looked quickly back into my drink.
Sitting here was literally hurting my heart.
Just kill me now.
The barman snorted and I groaned inwardly, he had seen me looking.
"You'll be getting a call," he continued, "then it will be cruising SoHo every night looking for ass."
My head snapped up. I looked at the man who was laughing back at the barman.
I stared. I couldn't look away.
Noticing, he turned my way. Blue eyes drilling into my dark brown.
He didn't seem mad or concerned. There was an elegant confidence emanating from him. I wanted some of it. I wanted him.
"It's not catching," he said calmly.
I shook my head, not understanding him.
"Gay," he said kindly, "it's not catching, but if it makes you uncomfortable feel free to move seats."
He turned back to the barman, shaking his head slightly.
The barman rolled his eyes.
"You're a jerk, Kerry," he said, "The lad's got no problem with you being gay."
The man, Kerry, frowned and looked back at me.
I finally managed to work some saliva into my mouth and speak, instead of standing there like a fucking idiot.
"No, Sir. No, I don't have a problem. Not at all."
"Is that right?"
I just nodded; my voice having deserted me again.
The barman let out a belly laugh, "Well, looks like the 'gaydar dysfunctionator' that I had installed is working."
Kerry laughed, and observed me for a few moments. Then without looking away from me, "Jack, can I borrow your back room for a moment?"
Jack, the barman grinned, "Go right ahead."
Kerry stood, still watching me, "May I talk to you in private?"
I nodded and stood also.
We were pretty well matched in height, although Kerry was a little older than me, probably around thirty.
"That door there," he pointed, basically telling me to walk in front of him.
That's fine, I thought, my ass looks fucking awesome in these jeans, I've got no problem walking in front of you.
I walked into what was a private living area. Which made sense as I had seen a sign saying that there was accommodation, which was probably above us.
I stopped just inside the room.
More at home, Kerry walked around me and took another sip before placing his drink on a low table.
I had left my drink, forgotten on the bar.
We watched each other, then I grinned, which seemed to relax Kerry, he let his eyes take a leisurely stroll over my body.
I could almost feel him.
"So, are you moving to London then?" I asked, failing to completely eliminate the tremor from my voice.
"Maybe, yes if I get this job."
"I'm from London," I confirmed, "originally and now I'm back."
He smiled, "I get over there quite often as it happens."
We both became more serious again, both of us were breathing too fast.
"Has anything like this every happened to you before?" Kerry asked me.
"No," I said, "Never. But I'm fucking dying here."
In a flash Kerry was on me. Slamming me back against the door as he took me.
I could taste the scotch as his hands braced either side of my shoulders, trapping me, his tongue sweeping into my mouth.
I groaned and grabbed his ass and pulled him harder against me, rocking my cock against his arousal, making him growl into my mouth.
We rubbed against each other, kissing sloppily, hands exploring, every touch was like fire.
Suddenly Kerry pushed his hand into my jeans and grabbed me. Squeezing my cock as he pushed my zip down with his other hand.
"Oh, Fuck," I stuttered.
He pulled me free and started to stroke me, whispering in my ear, "Mmmmm, look how beautiful you are."
I felt beautiful, I felt wanted, but when Kerry's hand encircled my throat and tightened slightly, I realized that I had to stop.
