A/N: So here’s my second chapter, maybe this will get me some more hits. Ugh! Thanks to those of you who did read, and maybe more of you could comment, that way I know what you think, and where I should aim the story. Basically I would love to use reviews as plot betas, that way you guys would have a direct influence on what happens.


Chapter two

It was late in the afternoon when I finally woke up. The sun outside the windows had already begun to turn orange, soon it would set. I was immediately upset. Why had Draco let me sleep so late? Suddenly I noticed that the beds around me were no longer empty. There were five other beds, each currently occupied. From where I was sitting, I could just see the top of a platinum blonde head sleeping on the couch.

As quietly as I could, I pulled down the covers, and got out of bed. No one stirred. I quietly padded over to the big couch, and crouched over Draco’s sleeping form. He must have heard me, because he rolled over a little bit, and gave me a sleepy scowl.

“ Go back to bed Harry.” He mumbled. It was obvious he was still half asleep.

“ I don’t think I can.” I whispered back. In truth, I was still tired, it was all the other people making me uncomfortable. “ The bed’s cold.” I lied quickly, and surprisingly Draco nodded, and pulled up his blanket, motioning me to get underneath with him. I reacted without hesitation, and snuggled into his warmth. Immediately I felt comfortable and at ease. Was this the real reason I had woken up? I couldn’t remember.
It seemed like it was only moments later that I was suddenly thrown out of Draco’s warm embrace.

“ Get up.” he said from above me. “ We need to talk about you working.”
He didn’t stop to help me up or anything, Draco just walked away. As I pulled myself up, I noticed that everyone else was awake as well. They all went about their business, obviously getting dressed to go do something, even though it was now early evening.
I counted three boys and two girls, besides Draco and I. Both the girls were very thin. One with blonde hair, though not as blonde as Draco’s, cut short and edgy. The other had long red hair. The boys ranged from tall and thin, to one who looked like a football player.
I was distracted by my observations of the other kids, no one looked older than twenty, and I hadn’t noticed Draco’s return. “ Put you clothes on!” he urged, dropping a familiar pile at my feet. I bent over and tried to dress myself as quickly as possible. By the time I had finished, everyone else had left, except Draco, who stood there looking impatient. He seemed nervous, and as I watched him, I noticed that he never sat still. There was always a part of him, twitching or scratching.

“ Are you okay?” I asked.

“ I’m fine. Let’s go.” He answered quickly as he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket.
We walked silently out the building and onto the dark street. He led me down a few blocks, to a small playground that was attached to a church.

“ Why are we here?” I asked, confused as to what was going on.

“ I just needed a place to talk to you that’s all.” He flashed me a sweet smile, and I instantly felt comfortable again. “ So Tom likes you. He said that you remind him of someone he knew. He’s willing to let you stay as long as you want.” I smiled at that. Having a place to stay was what I had been most nervous about. I was lucky to have run into Draco.

“ But he said something about working?” I asked remembering the previous night’s brief encounter with Tom.

“ Yeah well, seeing as most of us are runaways, with no schooling or anything, Tom figured out a way for us to get a decent amount of money.” He said, lighting another cigarette. I looked at him. Trying not to seem as confused as I was, it obviously didn’t work.“ Uhmm, you’ve gotten hit on before right?” He asked. I nodded. I knew that I wasn’t unattractive. “ By guys?” he said a little softer. I nodded again. The truth was, I liked it better when they hit on me. Not that I would admit it to Draco. “ well that’s kind of how we work. We’re hustlers.”
I stared at him.
“ What?” Was all I managed.

“ We sleep with guys for money. It’s really easy. You’ll be great at it.” He said quickly.

“ You’re a prostitute?” I asked in a whisper.
He nodded, and stood up. I couldn’t move. Was he expecting me to do the same thing? I couldn’t. The thought of some old man touching me. I shuddered. He must have noticed, because I was suddenly in his arms.
“ I’ll be with you the entire time. You’ll be safe.”

We walked back to the building in silence. I spent the time making a list of other available options, but none seemed to work out. Plus I had some sort of attachment to the mysterious blonde. There was a strange pull. I could feel it. Before long, we were back in the dark room, it was still cold. Draco went and knocked on Tom’s door, and I heard a few words get muttered between them. I was too busy studying the knot I had tied in my shoelaces to catch what exactly they were saying.

“ Harry?” Suddenly there was a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, and found myself staring into Tom’s dark eyes. He was smiling, but it didn’t penetrate his eyes. They were hard and black, like stone. “ Draco says you’ll work?” I nodded once, and lowered my gaze to his mouth. I couldn’t stand looking into that man’s eyes. He must not have noticed, or have cared, because he continued speaking. “ Well he’ll explain all the finer points to you. I just want to go over some of the basics with you, to make sure you understand how we run things around here.”
He pulled me into his office and shut the door behind me. It was a small, smoky room, a large desk was cramped into the middle of the space. There was a single bulb hanging above them that illuminated the tiny room.
“ So basically all our rules are to keep you safe, so following them is in your best interest.” I nodded, trying to seem calm. “ First of all, when you’re waiting for a john, you wait with the group. Don’t wander off. Next, keep yourself clean and presentable, this includes eating regularly, and working out. You don’t do anything for free, make sure you get the money before you do anything.” I tried to hide my cringe. “ We change our rates depending on what the John wants, and your stats. Draco will figure those things out for you. We have a website, every now and then I might send you out for a meeting with someone from there. In those instances you will be escorted. The money always comes back to me. Don’t try and keep any for yourself. Nothing gets past me, so don’t try to steal.”
He left me with that, and told me to go with Draco to get ready. “ Make us proud.” He said with a smile as I walked out the door.
Draco was at my side again. His hand tight around mine. He led me out into the hallway, and then into another door on the other side of the stairs that I hadn’t noticed. It turned out to be a bathroom.

“ Okay, strip down.” Draco ordered. I gave him a shocked look, and he rolled his eyes. “ Modesty doesn’t exist anymore, now take off your pants.”
I bit my lip, and pulled my shirt off over my head, then kicked off my shoes and socks. Finally I shakingly unbuttoned my pants, and decided to pull down my jeans and underwear in one shot, like ripping off a band-aid. I stood there a moment on the cool tile, while Draco appraised me.
“ Well you aren’t very hairy, which makes the next part easier.” I was about to ask him what that meant, but thought better of it. “ You could use more muscle, we already have a skinny boy. I’ll get Cedric to get you some Creatine or something. Luckily, your eyes are stunning. I’ll make sure I get them in the pictures.”

“ Pictures?” I mumbled. I was growing more and more anxious as he talked. He gave me a wicked grin, and I felt my face flush.

The next two hours were filled with Draco attacking me with scissors, hot wax, contact lenses, and a ton of makeup. Finally he took pictures of me in various pairs of very small underwear. As strange, and sometimes painful as the process was, I found myself enjoying it because I was with Draco. We joked around and got to talk. It was nice. Once he was done adding me to the website, we went to go get food.

It was the same diner as before. Tonight though, the Bad Dog had a few more customers. There was an older couple at one of the booths, and a table of construction workers. Seated at the bar, talking to Bella was the red headed girl, and the big guy from the room.

“ You guys on break?” Draco asked as he sat us down next to them. His hand still held mine, although I wasn’t sure if he even knew he was doing it.

“ Yeah, I just got back from a job, and Ced’s waiting on one in about an hour.” The red head said softly. Draco nodded, and ordered a plate of food for me.

“ You aren’t hungry?” I asked him as Bella went into the kitchen. He looked shaky and pale. He hadn’t eaten anything since the pie last night. Neither had I, and I was starving.

“Are you going to introduce us to the new guy?” The redhead said, looking at me with a curious eye.

“ This is Harry.” he turned to me. “ This is Ginny and Cedric.” They both nodded. Bella returned with my burger and fries, and I dug into it, not noticing the muted conversation between the three people next to me. After my hunger abated slightly, I slowed down and tried to listen in on them.

“ It’s busy tonight, he’ll get a John.” Ginny whispered quietly.

“ Is he gonna be okay doing that.” Cedric said quickly. “ He looks like he might break down in tears at the drop of a hat.”

“ He’ll be fine.” Draco practically growled. I blushed slightly. He was defending me. “ I’ll go with him the first few times. Just to make sure he doesn’t fuck things up.”
Well maybe he wasn’t defending me. I made a point of pushing my nearly clean plate forward. All three of them turned to stare at me.
“ You ready to go?” I nodded. I was determined to show those two up.


We made our way down a few more blocks to the front of a dark building, just a few blocks from the lights of downtown. Every few minutes, are car would drive by, and everyone would go still. The rest of the time, there was a lot of joking, and some rough housing from the boys. I was introduced to everyone. The girls were Ginny and Luna. The boys were Cedric, Oliver and Michael. I mostly stayed at Draco’s side. The others intimidated me. They all seemed so cold towards me. I didn’t understand why.

“ Hey Harry.” Cedric said as he hoped out of a cab. He’d been gone for about an hour and a half. He moved to sit next to me on the small bench away from the street. I just nodded my reply. “ Can we talk?” He asked. I nodded again as he sat down. “ How are you?”

“ I’m fine.” I said quietly. Honestly I didn’t know how I felt. If I had to guess it was a strange mixture of confusion, fear and indigestion. “ Just a little cold.” I’d forgotten my jacket, and the nights had a tendency to get chilly.

“ You want this?” he offered his jacket, wrapping it around me before I could argue. “ see much better.”

“ But now you’re cold.” I said. “ I’ll be fine.”

“ No, I’m good. Honest.” He smiled at me, and I warmed up. I didn’t know if it was his smile, or jacket that did it. I felt myself blushing. “ Tell me about yourself Harry.”
He ignored all the pointed looks from the others that I saw. Why did they react that way to me?

“ What do you want to know?”

“ How old are you?” He asked.

“ I just turned seventeen.” I answered. He nodded.

“ I’m almost twenty, but I’ve been here since I was fifteen.” He said, without me having to ask. He continued to ask me various questions, nothing too deep. I would answer, then he would tell me his answer. It was very simple, and I got distracted from where I was as I looked into his eyes and his smile. He managed to avoid any possibly painful questions, and make an hour fly by without me noticing. I probably could have sat and talked all night if I hadn’t been suddenly pulled to my feet by Draco.

“ He’s new, I’m coming with. Just to make sure everything goes smooth.” He said very quickly, very business-like. He was talking to a short middle aged man who looked possible more nervous than I did. Draco turned around and looked me in the eye. My breathe stopped as I stared into his icy gray eyes. “ I’ll be right there. You’ll be fine. I promise.” He squeezed my hand, and led me into a dark alley in between two warehouses.
“ What do you want?” Draco said to the man.

“ Uhhmmm how much for… for me to blow him?” The man stuttered

“Thirty. He’s got a nice cock.” Draco responded quickly. I fought the color I could feel coming to my face. The man nodded in agreement, and handed Draco a hand full of bills.

“ Are you gonna watch?” The man asked.

“ No, I’ll be over there, nothing intrusive.” Draco replied as he counted the money. My heart dropped a little, I wanted him to be there with me. I was scared.

“ You can!” The man said quickly. “ I mean, if you want to watch. I kind of want you. I- I want you to watch.” The man mumbled.

“ Fifty for me to watch.” Draco said with the same strange authority. The man wordlessly handed him another bill, and then he turned to me. I backed up nervously against the wall of the building, but that was a mistake. I couldn’t run from there. The small man walked towards me very confidently and without warning grabbed my crotch through my jeans. He began to aggressively massage me. I struggled to keep from groaning from the strange mix of pain and pleasure. My heart sped up, and I found it harder to breathe. I heard my pants get unzipped, and felt my cock get pulled out. I panicked. My hands trembled, and my groans were on the verge of screams.

“ Harry!” Draco hissed, trying to get my attention but not distract the John.
I looked up and caught his eyes. His storm gray eyes. I was lost instantly. He looked at me, he was worried, and scared. Why was he scared? I wanted to ask him, but knew better. Suddenly I noticed the warmth around my erection. The sensation, coupled with the piercing look in Draco’s eyes pulled moans out of my throat. My heart was still racing. My hips ached to thrust into the warmth. Draco’s eyes grew wide as he watched my reaction. He suddenly looked hurt. I cut of my moans, forcing them back down, and tried to ask Draco what was wrong without speaking. He broke eye contact, fidgeting and looking around the alley. I longed for his gaze. I was afraid again. What had I done to upset him?
After a few minutes it was obvious that Draco was getting impatient. He turned and caught my eyes again, I practically cried with relief, and had to hold back the moans struggling to escape me.
“ Finish Harry.” Draco commanded. Without a conscious thought, my body reacted to his voice, and I felt my self releasing into the man’s mouth. For a moment, I was lost in the bliss, captured in those rainstorm colored eyes. Then suddenly I was back in the dark alley. I quickly stepped away from the still crouching man and zipped my fly. The John stood up, and wiped his mouth. I tried not to gag.

“ Thanks cutie.” He said with a slimy smile. I nodded and edged towards Draco. The man left the alleyway, the two of us waiting until he was out of sight to move.

“ Is there a bathroom I could use?” I whispered quietly as we returned to the benches where the others were.

“ Go back in the alley. Be quick.” Draco said under his breath. I stumbled back into the dark alley, I turned to the wall and looked down. There on the ground was a very small puddle of cum. Obviously my own. I heaved up my burger and fries in one go. After a few dry coughs, I walked back to the street.

Cedric gave me a knowing look when I returned, giving me room to collapse onto the bench.

“ The first one’s always the hardest.” He said quietly without looking up. “ well that’s a lie. Harry can I ask another question?”

“ Sure.” I mumbled, Everything was numb.

“ Are you a virgin?”
I looked at him. Surprisingly, he was being serious.

“ Yes I am.” I said quietly. For some reason I was ashamed. He just looked away, and at that point I thought our conversation was over.

After another hour, when Luna showed back up in a cab, we left as a group. Michael and Oliver joking around. The girls held a whispered conversation. I walked as closely to Draco, who was silent, as I could. Hoping he’d grab my hand like he had been so prone to do. Cedric followed behind us, I could feel his eyes on my back. I was a little worried about this, But Cedric was nice. I felt like he cared about me.

We got home, and everyone started to get ready for bed. I automatically went towards the bed I had stayed in the previous night, but then I realized that I had taken Draco’s bed. I stopped mid-stride, and turned towards the couch. Draco had beaten me there.

“ Go to the bed Harry.” He said without looking up at me.

“ I thought you should sleep in the bed.” I muttered. Suddenly very intimidated by the blonde. He visibly sighed, and slowly looked up at me.

“ It’s fine. I am fine here, go to bed.” His eyes were strong, but somehow pleading.

“ I thought that maybe we could…”

“ What? Share the bed?” He cut me off.

“ There’s enough room.” I stated weakly.

“ It’s not going to happen. Got to bed.” He said in his commanding tone. Once again my body reacted without me, and I found myself padding over to Draco’s bed. I slipped my shoes off, and plopped down. Staring at me from the bed next to me was Cedric. His calm blue eyes questioning me.

“ I asked Draco to sleep in the same bed with me.” I said, being completely honest for no reason.

“ He said that he shouldn’t?” Cedric asked.

“ He said that it wasn’t going to happen. He seemed upset I even asked.” I explained as I pulled the covers up around myself. They smelled good. A warm smell, yet slightly musky. It took me a moment to realize that this was what Draco must smell like.

“ Harry? Do you remember what I asked you earlier?” Cedric asked so softly it was barely audible.

“ Yeah” I answered. We both rolled to the edge of our beds, so our faces were less than a foot apart.

“ The reason why I asked, is because it will get a lot worse than tonight. A whole lot worse than getting a bad blow job from some closet case.” He smiled softly. “ I’d feel bad if your first time was not a good experience.”

It took me a moment to process what he had just said.

“ Oh!” I gasped when I understood. I looked at him. “ are you saying that you’d…?”

“ Not if you didn’t want to…” He replied quickly. He tried to hide the hurt in his eyes, but I noticed. “ I’m only offering if you wanted to, so you wouldn’t be as scared or whatever the first time you got a real job.” He looked so genuine and sweet, I felt awful.

“ I’ll let you know.” I said quietly. “ I just need to think a bit.” He nodded and rolled over. I had obviously upset him.
I spent the rest of the night flitting between consciousness, and horrible dreams that involved dark alleys. Finally the I opened my eyes to the warm orange glow of sunset, and a pair of steel eyes.
