HARD. Lavrenty must leave the beach and sun to return to Moscow. Before he goes, he must pay his last debt to the Master – 200 strokes that while laid on in the most leisurely manner by his younger compatriot, Georgiy, still get his reaction. When Lavrenty in turn gives 200 strokes to Georgiy, he inevitably gets turned on and cannot be as nice. The belt strokes bite more steadily and with just enough extra to earn Georgiy’s attention. When Lavrenty is back in Moscow, he swears his pain is done.
