Waiting His Turn

The sale was concluded in a kind of breathless excitement; slo-mo and flash strobe somehow melded into a single magic moment when the wealthy connoisseur decided with a fateful toss of his crew cut head and almost imperceptible shrug of Armani clad shoulders to take both of the bucks stripped for his perusal in the showroom. The leather-bound check book opened and closed with tasteful finality and the two strapping male slaves were his at last…though, in reality, it had been less than an hour since they were brought, shuffling, into his presence and ordered to strip naked for the favoured client’s hopeful examination.
