IV
It was Alba accompanied by two of her men who came to take us. By the way the group behaved, I was quite sure she had been a platoon leader and they all had stuck together in civilian life.
They handed us through the cell’s bars two plastic zipper handcuffs and instructed us to put them on.
Barb noticed that Alba had her hair gathered in a ponytail.
“Do you have another?” Barb asked pointing at Alba’s scrunchie.
“Not here, but have this one” she said removing it and handing it to Barb though the bars. “You will need it more than me”.
“Thanks” Barb answered while doing a ponytail with her long brown hair. I thought that it suited her too, and suddenly realized she was getting prepared for her execution.
“If you keep behaving, we will give you a second shot that will make things much, much easier for you”. The pretty ex-sergeant said.
We obeyed in silence. I tied Barb’s wrists at her back looking at her beautiful pear-shaped bum. Then, I put mine on. Alba ordered me to approach the bars and tightened it.
“All right this is how is going to happen” she spoke while the two men opened our cell and got us out.
“First you will be whipped. Not really hard, with the drug it is not necessary, but it helps to set the mood.
Then, you will take your beams or patibuli to the place of crucifixion. It is a shallow knoll by a crossroads. You both will be nailed, but before we nail your feet Barb, Arthur will have his fun with you. He is really excited about that; I doubt he had any sleep last night!
You will stay on your crosses until you die. Last, your naked bodies will be thrown on the same grave”.
We didn't said a word.
“Let's go. We have a long day in front of us!
We were led outside and were momentarily blinded by the Sun. It had fully risen already.
When I regained my sight, I noticed we were in a beautiful meadow that stretched for miles with some shallow knolls and groups of trees, white pines, oaks and elms.
It was a sunny late spring morning and the temperature was perfect for being naked outdoors…or for being crucified…
I also noticed that we had been imprisoned in a well-kept barn.
Adjacent, was a farmhouse converted in a very elegant residence.
Arthur and the other four men from Alba's platoon were waiting outside. He took a long and lustful look at Barb. However, I couldn't blame him now. Bathed by the young Sun light, her body looked beautiful and gorgeous.
They turned towards the closest group of trees and started walking without even bothering to check if we were following.
What else could we do? We were naked, tied, in the middle of nowhere and probably already dying. Better to get over with it!
While walking behind Barb it occurred to me how bizarre it was to be outdoors, being led to my crucifixion. For real this time. This wasn't one of my dirty fantasies. This was truly happening!
On the other hand, like in my fantasies, I couldn't avoid being aroused by my humiliation and by Barb's beautiful pear-shaped, tight little bum.
When they reached the first group of trees, probably oaks, they waited for us.
I saw a couple of metal hooks hanging from ropes threaded over a thick branch.
Two wooden beams were lying on the ground beyond the big trunk.
Barb and me didn't have to be told and we stood directly below one of the hooks. Barb on the closest to the trunk. Me, beneath the other.
I noticed with a little surprise that almost a complete silence ruled. Nobody talked and the typical noises of the countryside and some of cars, reached us from the distance.
In a minute we were both tied with our arms on the front, fastened to the hooks, the ropes lifted and our feet left the ground.
With force and good rhythm, leather straps started to hit us. We endured the punishment, twisting and grunting in our ropes. Knowing also that each stroke shortened a little the dreadful time on the cross.
We received the leather on our backs, buttocks, crotches and Barb got special attention on her boobs.
My eyes were the whole time riveted in her body, sensually twisting under the whip.
After about fifty strokes we were lowered panting and were told to grab a beam and start our way to a nearby knoll.
Once more, we didn't need to be told a second time, took our heavy patibuli and began to walk towards the shallow knoll by the crossroads they pointed to us. A couple of vertical poles were already waiting for us there. More timber was heaped behind the stipes.
Walking meekly towards my execution, even cooperating with it by transporting the instrument of my death, I considered my complete debasement.
I was so excited by the situation! A good erection betrayed me. It was due, not in small part, to Barb's considerable charms; this fact greatly enhanced my humiliation.
We have discussed this in our cell and we were sure we would have those conflicting emotions for the rest of our short remaining life.
Alba noticed my engorged cock and broke the silence teasing me.
“Carlos, you are looking forward to see Barb naked thrashing nailed on her cross, aren’t you?”
“…Yes…”
“And you are really looking forward to Barb seeing YOU nailed naked on your cross with that hard cock, aren't you?”
“Yes!” I had to admit again getting a curious look from Barb.
“What submissive and exhibitionist pig you are!”
Alba laugh amused as we continued our “via-crucis”
It was hard to admit, but I was feeling sort of proud in my shame! I gave up convinced that I would never understand myself during my short remaining lifetime!
And quite soon we reached the place where we were about to be nailed and raised on our crosses. The place where we were going to die. End of the road!
We stopped by the vertical poles.
I observed the team started to get the poles down. I seemed our crosses would be assembled on the ground and we nailed on them before being raised to the vertical.
We were told to leave the beams on the ground and I went to Barb and stood very close to her. Her beautiful eyes were very bright.
“Barb, I don't know how I am going to behave. I will probably lose my courage and start crying, but I will try to be brave, to support you and help you to cope with this and die well.
Do you still think you will find exciting seeing me nailed naked next to you?”
“Absolutely!” She answered without hesitation.
“In that case Barb, I don't mind ending up crucified with you. I will keep you company, perhaps even excite you a little.
And since we are going to die, it will be worth and an honor to be on a cross next to yours.
I want you to enjoy my crucifixion and my suffering…for you”.
“I will!” she answered with a fierce look. “Use me for your pleasure in the same way” she finished.
I found her irresistible looking at me like that and took her in my arms while covering her lips with mine for a long instant. The contact of her naked body felt electric on my skin.
When we separated, we noticed Alba and Arthur looking at us while the rest of the group worked still in the assembly of our crosses.
A second dose of the drug was quickly administered to us.
“I choose a crossroads for your crucifixion” Arthur spoke for the first time. His voice clearly showing his excitement “Because in ancient times passerby would have the opportunity of watching the executed. It was entertaining and instructive. The vision of the nailed thrashing bodies was supposed to be a deterrent and a warning. Unfortunately, your audience today will be limited to us. I bought a big extension of terrain around just to warrantee our privacy today. Still, I wanted to point to you that you will be just two naked bodies by a crossroads”
I saw and open trench behind the point where our crosses will stand. Following my gaze Alba explained.
“We will put you in there when we get you down. As I mentioned before, you will be together and naked for eternity”.
I nodded and found the idea erotic. I was also sure Barb was probably of the same opinion, since she had written to me once:
“…You have actually hit upon one of my fantasies…I find body piles very erotic…the idea of lying naked amongst a heap of executed bodies…can set me off”.
By now, our crosses were ready. Big steel spikes were also now in view beside the wood.
One of the ex-soldiers, the one that seemed to be Alba's deputy, took a mallet and stood by one of the crosses looking at Barb.
Alba took another.
“When you are ready lady and gentleman…The time has come to join with your crosses and nails and become two crucified.
From crucificands to crucified!”
