The Lycian Prince 31

(June 291 A.D.)

Casperius had become suspicious of the amount of time that Anthonius was taking to recover from his tortures, especially as the Praetorian captain had a reputation for speedy healing, and so went to look at the boy himself with Armillatus’ former eunuch slave, now temporarily redundant. Their conclusion was that Anthonius had fully recovered and the major domo began to wonder about the relationship between the officer and the lad. Casperius recognised that there was no chance of Anthonius disappearing as mysteriously as Sura because of the imminent arrival of the boy’s mother and sister in Rome. The major domo therefore decided to take the lad out of the dungeons and return him in chains to the boy companion harem, where Armillatus’ Nubian was allocated his supervision. Anthonius was allocated Sura’s old quarters and minuscule thong attire, the latter so that his new bodily decorations could be enjoyed fully by all. Casperius reasoned that he could keep a better, more secure, watch on Anthonius in the harem, especially as the boy would remain permanently chained, with hands behind back and a short linkage between the two ankle manacles. The major domo would also have some final opportunities to humiliate the boy whilst awaiting implementation of Niachiarus’ pleasant plan for the lad’s much less pleasant future.

Diocletian also enjoyed the temporary return of his former boy favourite. After that night’s banquet, the Emperor had Anthonius brought before him and the boy companions in the pleasure chamber. As usual, Casperius was in attendance, and his face was to bear a constant look of happy amusement throughout proceedings. The boy companions all laughed when they saw that Anthonius had to shuffle in, because of the shortness of the chain that connected his two ankle manacles, and were even more ecstatic when Diocletian ordered him to turn slowly so that everyone could see the brands all over his body. As Anthonius did so, he was subjected to more laughter because his tiny black thong, with a small gold Imperial eagle embroidered on the front, began to balloon outwards. The Emperor then said to the boy companions “I told you he was a right whore so we’ll start to train him to be a good one. Which of you wants to be pleasured by the whore’s orifices?” All seventeen remaining companions eagerly indicated affirmation, their keenness fuelled by the fact that it was the Emperor’s former favourite who was receiving his comeuppance. Diocletian ordered one of them to relieve Anthonius of his thong and everyone chuckled as the erection popped into view. The Emperor instructed Anthonius to go to each boy companion’s couch in turn, kneel before it and use particular turns of phrase.

Anthonius shuffled to the first companion, a 10 years old, knelt and said “Please sir, I beg that I may offer my unworthy orifices to pleasure your manhood. Which do you require, sir?” The first indicated mouth so Anthonius shuffled forward on his knees and waited for the 10 years old to pull down his loincloth before bending over to take the boy’s soft cock in his mouth. It did not take long to bring the small penis to climax but there was nothing to swallow. Before Anthonius stood again, he had to say “Thank you, sir, for allowing my unworthy mouth to give you pleasure.”

Anthonius repeated the opening words whilst on his knees before the next companion, who indicated the other orifice. Anthonius therefore stood, turned round and bent over whilst the 15 years old took up position, lowered his loincloth and aimed. Anthonius felt the boy grip his thighs to lever his hole backwards towards the erection. The boy was one of those who preferred to keep his own cock still whilst the recipient anus moved to provide it with its pleasure. However, only about twenty vigorous backwards and forwards shoves of Anthonius’ loins were required for the boy to impregnate the orifice.

It took Anthonius nearly three hours to complete his tasks, by which time his mouth had serviced ten, and his anus, seven young cocks, aged from 9 to 16. His own erection had been full and dribbling precum most of this time but he was provided with no relief. Diocletian instead informed the boy that he had a present for him in order to assist further his training to be a dutiful whore. He nodded to one of the companions who approached Anthonius with something in his hand. It was another shorter catheter but one that was not hollow and had a small leather strap attachment. The companion gleefully slid the whole stem into Anthonius’ exposed and drooling slit and fixed it in place by harnessing three narrow straps intermittently around the hard cock, with the last round the base of the scrotum. The fitting would remain secure even after the penis had become soft and would be an effective and uncomfortable chastity device. Once the cockstrap had been attached, Diocletian declared “Good, that should help the whore keep in proper shape for further training” before then ordering the harlot to get out of his sight.

The following day, Casperius came to Anthonius’ tiny quarters and contentedly looked again at the cruel contraption fastened to the naked boy’s genitals before reluctantly telling the lad’s eunuch to remove it. The major domo informed Anthonius that he would be performing at a forthcoming state banquet and that the young Prince and his friends had agreed to train him for his act as well as continuing his instruction to be an exemplary whore. The eunuch was to ready him for their attentions. Two hours later, the boy found himself engaged in the second most humiliating walk of his whole life, after his experiences in a certain grubby African market town. The Nubian was escorting him to the Prince’s quarters, which were some distance away from the boy harem. Anthonius was still in his chains and so had to shuffle slowly towards his destination. He had been re-attired in his minuscule thong. The palace was busy at this time of day and most of the people he passed ogled at the sight of the pretty almost nude boy walking by. They seemed particularly interested in the lad’s body decorations and the desperate efforts of his diminutive thong to contain the clear signs of sexual arousal. The deeply ashamed Anthonius would have felt relief at eventually reaching the Prince’s luxurious quarters if he had not encountered anything but pain and humiliation there, and he did not expect that this visit would be any different.

To Anthonius’ surprise, the escorting Nubian did not leave him in the Prince’s currently deserted entertainment chamber but led him through to another smaller room on the far side. Anthonius shivered when he saw what it contained for, in the middle of the otherwise empty room, the caning-horse awaited him. The eunuch stripped Anthonius of his thong and laid the now very nervous boy across the horse and re-chained him in place, before tying a mask blindfold over his eyes and leaving.

Anthonius had lain across the horse, quivering in fear, for about half an hour when he heard someone enter. The boy felt a small hand running across his exposed buttocks and thighs and the Prince say “I do like the eagles that my friends placed on your buttocks and at their sides, former bed boy. I’m sure that they’re just as nice elsewhere as well. We’re all now going to give you more presents to help you develop your whoring skills before we start training you for your new public entertainment act. My father says that it’s time that we all enjoyed our first girls and boys and my friends and I were unanimous in agreeing that we should help your instruction in prostitution by making you our very first of either. The mask’s because we’re all a bit shy. Don’t mind you feeling our pricks as we have you but don’t think a trainee strumpet like you should see them as it might make you too excited. How excited are you now, former bed boy?” The 11 years old reached underneath to fondle the 14 years old’s genitals, observing “Already hard I see! My father says that you’re a natural whore and it is obviously true, so you’ll be looking forward to having twelve 11 years old boy pricks up your bum over the next few hours, won’t you, former bed boy, or should I just call you ‘whore’ from now on?”

Anthonius heard the sound of the Prince disrobing, followed by the feel of the young boy’s hands prising apart his defenceless bumcheeks. “Now whore, make sure that you don’t spurt any horrible mess or I’ll have to find time to beat you again” said the 11 years old as he placed his little erection on the 14 years old sphincter and pushed forward. Anthonius’ anal opening granted the small intruder immediate entrance and the sensation of the small cock inside caused the recipient’s body to convulse and a pool of white liquid to appear on the floor below. “Dirty whore” said the Prince as he commenced his thrusts that would eventually bring him to his own delectable climax, leaving a little of his own white liquid inside the older boy. The Prince’s friends, excited in all senses of the word, followed one by one. Some of their subsequent orgasms left presents inside Anthonius but not all.

When all the 11 years olds had done, the 14 years old was released from the horse and from his chain bondage by the returning Nubian and taken before the youngsters, now reclining on their couches in the pleasure chamber. The Prince ordered Anthonius to turn full circle before them so that they could inspect again their decorative handiwork, with accompanying gleeful looks and chortling. The Prince then declared “You’ve been naughty again, whore, putting your own filthy bodily pleasures before providing proper service to your betters, and dirtying the floor at the same time. You can clean it up later, in the usual manner, before I punish you for your disgusting misdemeanour. First, though, you are required to practise the new act that you will perform at the state banquet in two days’ time. I am to inform you that you will have the honour of being the first ever Imperial boy companion to dance completely unclothed at such an occasion. You know how my father normally requires his boys to maintain some degree of modesty outside their quarters. Well whore, His Imperial Majesty has decided to make you an exception. You will also conclude your act with this.” The Prince gestured to the attendant four slaves, who left the chamber to return, to giggles from the 11 years olds, with a heavy low square wooden pallet, each side about two paces long. Anthonius blanched as they placed it in the middle of the entertainment dais for at its centre, firmly fixed to the wood, was a phallus made of smooth black marble. It had a narrow curved top but this gradually expanded to a width of about half a hand three-quarters of the way along its two hands’ length, before curvaceously contracting again.

The Prince, grinning broadly, continued “You will be required to sodomise yourself fully on the dildo until you make yourself cum. You must not touch your penis and your buttocks will be required to hit the wood regularly. You may start to practise now. I suppose that we may have to wait a while for you to finish because you’ve already pleasured yourself once but try not to be too long, even if you are tempted to prolong your enjoyment. We haven’t got all day and there’s still your punishment to organise.”
