Riding the backroads between Butterworth on the Malay peninsula, across the water from the island of Penang, and the plantation manor at Taman Binjai on Mountjoy, with Sebastian on the lead behind me, I glimpsed a disturbance off in a cinnamon tree field at the side of the pathway. An undulating furry pelt peeked out incongruously from between the cinnamon trees, giving the impression that some poor animal was caught in some manner of a trap and struggling to free itself. Not knowing if danger was on offer but not wanting a creature to suffer if it was caught in the vines, I guided Mountjoy and Sebastian off the road and into a stand of palm trees running beside the field in which I could advance to near the spot unseen.
It was with a certain sadness and feeling of loss that I was returning from taking erstwhile stable boy, Malik, to Butterworth to hand him over to a tavern and brothel keeper there. Malik had given good service but, being beyond his twenty-fifth year, was past being of the age now to be moving to a position that would afford him a more lucrative income. I was happy to do this favor for him—he had done me well for neigh unto six years—but he had grown older than I liked having in the stable in his capacity. Now, however, I was minus a stable boy who would fulfill the duty Malik did, but there were men in the stable well enough to do the work until I could find a replacement. We paid well at the manor and I and my needs were well known in the neighborhood, so I trusted it would not be long before there was a new Malik in place.
I tied the reins of the two horses to a tree just inside the stand and proceeded, as silently as I could, to a position of dense thicket just opposite of where I had seen the movement of the animal. Gaining a purchase that I thought concealed me sufficiently, I gasped to find that it was no animal at all, but rather a man, my Chinese overseer of the cinnamon fields, Peng, with a cloak on his back made of animal fur. He was a large, coarse, strong man of middle years, one I knew to be rough with his Malay workers, but who met production quotas with them. The undulating movement that had caught my eye on the road was the result of Peng holding a young, comely, naked Malay man under him, the youth's knees hooked on the man's hips. Peng was fucking the young man.
In contrast to the dark-tan brown flesh of the slim young man's nakedness, the older man fucking him was fully clothed, the laces of his breeches codpiece undone and flared to free his cock, which was inside the young man, who must have been no older than eighteen or nineteen, and was pumping him in long slides. This vigorous taking had been what caused the aspect of undulation I'd seen from the road. Peng was on his knees, between the young man's thighs, with one arm under the youth's waist, pulling the Malay's pelvis off the soft ground between the cinnamon tree rows so that the young man's perfectly formed torso streamed back onto the earth, with his lustrous black strands of shoulder-length hair fanned out from his head. His arms were stretched out straight from his body in a sacrificial cruciform position, and his head was lolled to one side, his slit eyes staring into the thicket where I was—or thought I was—hidden. The expression on the young man's face was such that it seemed like he could see me. It was just the sort of look I was aroused to receive from a young man of his age.
The look wasn't one of consternation, but of satiation. The youth clearly was fine, at least for now, with having the man's cock working inside him. His beauty and acceptance had a hardening effect on me. I would have been even harder if I had arrived at a stage where the young man struggled and I could see the moment of penetration and surrender.
The other hand of the man fucking him was palmed on the youth's sternum, holding his body to the ground, captive, while the man punished the young man's passage. But that seemed unnecessary. The small Malay was putting up no resistance, possibly having done so earlier in the assault to no avail and now totally cowed. In fact, the Malay was engaged in the coupling, moving his pelvis in rhythm to the thrusts of my overseer. My eyes fixated on the rocking of the slim hips of the Malay as they fucked. Peng touched him in the hollow of his hip, and I longed to be the one doing that. Where Peng touched him was red and I could see what looked like a hand impression as if the overseer had struck the young man there more than once. That too, I found to be arousing.
I was not sure whether this be assault or seduction—or just giving the demanding overseer his right in currying favor with him. The young Malay could not help but feel the power of the shaft moving inside him, and yet he gave no struggle against it. Was this master and slave, I wondered. The Malay workers on our plantations were little more than slaves here in the late nineteenth century. If one of our overseers was fucking his workers, even if it was male-on-male rather than the infinitely more accepted male on slave female, there was little to be said about that as long as quotas were being met. That was not my rule, but, rather, the guidance from London. London, in fact, favored a practice of Malay women bearing more children, either of pure Malay race or mixed breeding, to add to the workforce. Formal marriages were for the Europeans. Whatever the case, it got my juices going and I settled down on my haunches to further examine this mystery unfolding before me. Was this by consent or by privilege? To be truthful, I was the more aroused when it was taken by right initially rather than by mutual desire.
As privileged, I was the more moved by being a dominator.
I was stirred to the core of me not only from the act I was observing or the beauty of the young Malay, but as much by his vulnerability and helplessness in the taking and in the searching, teasing stare he was directing me, evidently able to see me in the thicket. I gasped as Peng moved his hand from the young man's sternum and, with a flick of his wrist slapped the youth across the face, first in one direction and then in the other, which snapped the small Malay's head back and forth in surprise and made his eyes flash. He squeezed the young man's cheeks in his hand and made the Malay look directly in his eyes as he fucked him. Each slap had made me harden a bit more.
I was about to gather myself to rush out of hiding and pull the brute off the youth, and be a bit of a brute myself with the youth. Peng would have acceded me my rights. I was his master. But just as I was steeling my muscles to pounce forward, the small Malay cried out a "
Ya! Membuat saya rasa
!—Yes, make me feel it!" and raised his arms and his torso, his assaulter taking his hand away to encircle the young man's cock, which I could now see and could discern was in erection, and cupped the back of Peng's head with both his hands. The Malay youth brought their faces together in a kiss.
The overseer wasn't assaulting the young man at all. The Malay youth was acquiescing to, fully participating in, the fuck, and he liked it a little rough—it had brought him to life and fully into the fuck. I was holding my riding crop in my hand, and, with a low moan, I flicked it against the leather of my riding boots and licked my lips. I fantasized about dominating an innocent youth, but I also liked a young man who wanted a little pain.
As if to emphasize that the bit of cruelty had heightened the young man's arousal, his hips began to rock more insistently against Peng's crotch; his fingernails dug into the shoulder tips of the fur jacket, scrabbling to pull the man deeper inside him; and when they came out of the kiss, the young man arched his back toward the soil, his pelvis still held in place with the older man's strong arm encircling it, and started babbling, "
Ya. Ya. Maka, seperti itu. Memberikannya kepada saya baik
