Dale is a 23-year-old university student working on his thesis. Fortunately, rather than having to endure the interruptions and distractions at university, his “Uncle” Tom has invited Dale to stay with him at Walton Manor. In the countryside he has plenty of space, almost continual silence, and a butler to cater to his every whim. Dale and Tom have always had a mutual admiration for each other, and now they have the chance to explore this attraction. Yet Dale doesn’t count on falling in love with Dominic, the muscular Italian employed as Tom’s gardener. Despite his feelings for Tom, Dale can’t help the fact that the more he sees Dominic, the more attracted he is. Unfortunately, Tom is a jealous man. Even worse, he reveals a hitherto unseen sadistic side, which frightens Dale. One night Tom’s jealousy boils over, and Dale finds himself punished for his feelings for Dominic. From then on, Dale’s tranquil existence at Walton Manor is permanently shattered. Once things are set in motion, they are impossible to stop. After a final confrontation between Dominic and Tom, Dale discovers the most shocking truth of all.

The Human Cage

“Only me,” said Tom. “I just want to check that you’re still okay to serve drinks tonight. My associates are rather important and they’d be so delighted to meet you. I can just imagine the looks on their faces when they see my handsome guest. There won’t be a soft cock in the room.”


“I’m as okay as I’ll ever be,” Dale replied flatly. “What do you want me to wear?”


“It’s just an informal gathering. What about black pants?”


“No problem. I’ve got several pairs.”


“You’ll just need the one pair.” An attempt at humour.


“What about on top? A white shirt?”


“I think you could get away with wearing nothing. You have a nice body and it would be a shame to hide it away. I know my guests would appreciate being able to see it unobstructed.”


“I don’t know. It sounds rather odd.” He studied his uncle’s face, looking for evidence of humour, indeed hoping for it. But there was none to be found.


The expression on his own face must have given him away.
