The Wish 6

Chapter 6 – Welcomes

(Chicago, U.S.A., June 2001)

Paul’s mother had just returned to her now unwelcoming apartment home from the hospital in which her teenage son remained in the mysterious coma. Birthday cards had decorated the youth’s hospital bedside table, alongside a number espousing get-well wishes, as the boy had recently turned 16 years of age.

As the woman often now did, she sat sadly on Paul’s bed at home, visually scanning his most intimate environment once more, whilst on the brink of shedding tears. The young widow again deeply regretted not affording her son much time as he was growing up, putting her career before her only offspring. However, she now belatedly appreciated that no high-flying business career should ever stand in the way of parental responsibilities.

The woman remembered her own childhood and how important to her upbringing the time afforded to her by her own affectionate parents had been. How much more important, she contemplated, should her own attention and love have been to a boy without a father, especially as her son did not seem to have any friends. The recurrence of such guilty thoughts again resulted only in tears.

Later, after Paul’s mother had eventually recovered some of her composure to stop the lachrymose stream and dry her eyes, she noticed her son’s favourite poster on the bedroom wall. The woman had originally banned the picture from being displayed when her only child had first bought it, considering it far too erotic for a 12 years old. However, she had been unable to prevent its eventual appearance, as the growing youngster advanced through his teenage years.

The poster depicted a near-naked warrior facing, crouched and with sword in hand, an approaching tiger, which was ready to spring. The muscles of both the young man and beast rippled in anticipation of the clash that was only seconds away. At the hero’s feet was an incredibly buxom blonde, one of her bare breasts and full uncovered back and magnificently curvaceous bottom visible to the viewer. In the background were the rotund stands of the Roman Coliseum, with Caligula himself portrayed, eagerly awaiting the imminent bloody spectacle. Overhead, an oddly red sun dominated the sky.

Paul’s mother had always thought that there was something incongruous about the scene depicted in the poster. Such thoughts now stimulated her into looking up both Caligula and the Coliseum in the family encyclopaedia. She then discovered what was inaccurate about the picture.

The construction of the great Roman amphitheatre, known as the Coliseum, had not been started until the notorious Emperor had already been dead for thirty years.

(Palace of Caligula, in another place known as Lamorrah)

Thestis was the same age as the blonde blue-eyed Pau and almost as beautiful. However, the youth’s silky straight hair and sensuous eyes were both dark brown. Like his fellow 16 years old, the boy had also experienced a recent change in status, only his involved becoming a slave.

The cruel war-loving Caligulans had once again raided his people’s lands, seeking plunder, and Thestis had been captured to form part of the booty. The youth’s beauty meant that there was really only one immediate destiny for him.

Caligula’s chamberlain had closely inspected Thestis’ magnificent naked bound body to ensure that the youth was worthy to join his master’s male harem, which was just as big as the female version. Amongst other important items checked on the 16 years old’s impeccable form, to the satisfaction of the Imperial servant, were the size of the boy’s fully erect cock, encouraged to demeaning hardness by appropriate manual rubbing, and the new young slave’s anal virginity.

Thestis had never before been so embarrassed in his young life, as the chamberlain proceeded with his tasks, which were deeply degrading to the recipient of the man’s attentions. The youth came from a people where nude display alone was considered acutely shameful. Being forced to exhibit the sexual needs of his smooth loins, and being bent over so that his pink sphincter could be scrutinised, were therefore deeply disturbing additional personal humiliations.

Thestis’ acute abashment was also increased many times by the fact the chamberlain was conducting his intimate examination at a public slave auction, before securing his purchase from the warriors who had originally captured the youth. The soldiers had, at the time, been very tempted to rape the 16 years old but eventually greed overcame lust, because the men knew how much more money they could earn by presenting for sale a beautiful young unmolested male, for virginity was much prized.

The chamberlain eventually gave Thestis his seal of approval to join his master’s male harem and ordered fellow, but subservient, palace eunuchs to prepare the youth to lose his virginal condition soon, at the eager hands, or rather cock, of the notoriously depraved and wicked Caligula.

Thestis had so far meekly acquiesced to all that had been perpetrated on him since his capture, being intensely rightfully fearful of the consequences if he did not. The terrified youth knew the deserved reputation of the Caligulans, a people named after their Emperor, towards those who defied them. This included seeking regular entertainment from such prisoners in the great amphitheatre located in their city. The arena was notorious for the varied, ingenious ways in which the many victims were tormented, maimed or killed.

The beautiful Thestis naturally wanted to avoid such a terrible destiny and currently thought that becoming one of Caligula’s catamites was a better fate. The youth therefore reluctantly co-operated throughout his degrading preparation, actually picking up the rituals of the Imperial court and bedchamber both quickly and well. The 16 years old was secretly ashamed that he also seemed to learn the techniques of erotic dancing and homosexual submissive foreplay, practised using ivory dildos, competently too, earning praise from one of his adult eunuch instructors. “You’re a natural for your role,” the gelded man had suggested, to his trainee’s intense abashment, exemplified by a reddening face.

Thestis’ wonderful physical form needed little preparation, not even shaving, which was often required because his new master liked the bodies of his male and female concubines to be totally devoid of hair, apart from that which crowned their invariably gorgeous heads. The youth’s people, one of a number of different humanoid races on Lamorrah, were naturally lacking in such hirsutism, which was one of their attractions for male Caligulans, who were the opposite.

Nevertheless, Thestis was exercised and bathed several times a day, with further personal mental and physical discomfort caused by the invariably accompanying enemas. The youth was also kept chaste, allowing his hormonal needs to build up for when he entertained Caligula. This enforced sexual deprivation, of a 16 years old previously accustomed to masturbating at least daily, was for two main reasons.

First, the young catamite’s sexual needs should be desperate enough, when he eventually entertained Caligula, to help his recognised inherent strong heterosexuality to overcome undoubted intense distaste for what he was required to do. Second, the frantic requirements of his groin should encourage the constant exhibition of a fulsome erection, something his new master liked to see whilst his male concubines carried out their demeaning duties.

Thestis’ chastity was enforced by tightly encasing his flaccid genitalia in a carefully sized and contoured cover, made from light but very robust transparent resin. This device was immovably strapped to his gorgeous naked form by virtue of leather straps, which formed a type of body harness.

One strap ran up the front of Thestis’ body from his genital cover to a waist belt. Two further straps ran underneath his groin and diagonally across his lustrous curvaceous buttocks to join the belt at the rear. The belt itself was kept in position by diagonal, front and back shoulder straps and a buckle locked by a key. The whole chastity belt was completely immovable. However, perhaps the most frustrating aspect for the wearer was the fact that the denied genitalia were always visible but totally inaccessible.

Thestis’ cock was tightly encased in a separate, perfectly fitting transparent tube from the equally constrained cover that held his ball sac. Urination was permitted because the slightly curved penile tube ended, just beneath his uncut cockhead, with a number of miniscule holes, just like those of a tiny pepper pot. The rear strapping, avoiding the youth’s bumcrack, also permitted the 16 years old to toilet more fully without having to have the wickedly frustrating device removed.

Unfortunately for Thestis, all this careful preparation came to naught on the day he was finally presented to Caligula. The youth had been advised that he was replacing a male catamite, who had become too old for the Emperor’s tastes, but the 16 years old was not informed that his predecessor had then been castrated so that he could become the newest of his master’s palace eunuchs.

Thestis had also been told that he would occupy his predecessor’s function in Caligula’s life, namely entertaining the Emperor on the 16th night of the similar 32-day months experienced on Lamorrah. This news had almost traumatised the youth, but not because of the indignity of the occasion. Instead, the 16 years old suddenly realised that he would only be granted sexual relief monthly, and then only if permitted by his new master. He had also been well acquainted with the terrible redress that would be inflicted if he produced his seed, either by accident or design, without such permission.

As Thestis subsequently regularly looked at his encased frustrated sexual organs, whilst desperately needy teenage hormones seared his delectable form, boosted by the infusion of strong aphrodisiacs via his diet, the youth did not dare even contemplate what his torment would be like if he was denied monthly genital respite. However, in the event, personal pride somehow conquered bodily desire when the 16 years old met his new master for the first time.

Caligula was lying on his side on a couch in his palatial bedchamber, with his head propped up on one arm to gain a better view of his new catamite. The Emperor was dressed in a loose rich purple gown, easily removable for imminent sexual action. The ugly hirsute man was flanked by two beautiful young female concubines, neither any older than Thestis. The girls were topless, with their buxom breasts, crowned by rosy nipples, oiled and glistening in the torchlight that illuminated the scene.

In fact, the girls’ only accoutrements, apart from some jewellery, including golden medallions depicting the letter ‘C’, were very skimpy, short tight yellow pleated skirts that just about covered the undoubted charms of their loins. One of the young concubines regularly offered Caligula a goblet of wine or a dish of exotic fruits, whilst the other cooled the Emperor with a large feather fan, presumably from some huge bird.

Thestis was himself very sparsely attired in only a miniscule white loincloth, its colour denoting his virginity, with a golden medallion around his neck denoting his new master’s ownership of the gorgeous form by depicting the first letter of Caligula’s name. When dressing, the youth had initially encountered problems similar to those experienced by Pau whenever his fellow 16 years old attempted to cover his loins with his own skimpy garment. However, this phenomenon had not been caused by the size of the cock possessed by Caligula’s latest catamite, pleasant though that was, because the penis was smaller than that of the sacred boy. Instead, the difficulty had literally arisen because his unruly member had become instantly and fulsomely erect, once his attendant eunuchs had finally released his genitalia from their annoying imprisonment.

Thestis’ embarrassing but not uncommon penile problem was eventually overcome when one of the eunuchs bathed the youth’s sexual organs in a perfumed stinging fluid, specifically designed to induce temporarily excruciating genital flaccidity. The tear-forming results would wear off but not before the victim was dressed and presented to Caligula. In fact, as the 16 years old now approached the Emperor for the first time, to prostrate himself in homage before his new master before beginning his introductory erotic dance, he appreciated that the liquid’s effectiveness was already beginning to fade.

Thestis’ appreciation of this fact was helped by noticing both the discomfort in his scantily covered groin, as his cock attempted to grow again in its latest tight confinement, the sparse under-thong, and the bulge suddenly clearly evident in the front loincloth flap. However, the youth also realised that his ever-building genital excitement was not created by the thought of now serving Caligula, and the subsequent sexual reward that might accrue, but from the sight of the two beautiful topless girls flanking the Emperor. Unfortunately, this delectable vision was now to cause the 16 years old much distress.

Thestis somehow performed his first humiliating prostration for his new master by following his training to lie face down on the cool marble floor, with hands stretched out above him, and then kissing the upraised golden ‘C’ embedded there for the purpose. The youth was rewarded by a greeting from Caligula, who declared “I welcome you to my service, slave!” However, after the 16 years old subsequently regained his feet and music, produced by a small group of flautists and percussionists hidden for discretion behind a nearby screen, began to flood the ornate surrounds, the boy remained rooted to the spot, instead of embarking on his well practised erotic dance routine.

Thestis’ hesitation to begin was not as a result of Caligula’s lecherous smirking stare, nor the thought that he was now supposed to perform a highly erotic lengthy striptease for the Emperor before servicing his ugly hirsute master’s sexual needs on the vast bed, ominously waiting nearby for the purpose. Nor was the youth’s delay caused by recognition that losing his oral and anal virginity to such a despotic monster would be extremely unpleasant, demeaning and painful. Instead, the 16 years old’s failure to act was stimulated by the fact that he could not so degrade himself in front of the girls, whose presence had, for him, been totally unexpected.

A eunuch had escorted Thestis to the appointment with his supposed sexual destiny, before discretely withdrawing to a corner to watch events unfold. He had seen such slow starts previously, as the new concubines were initially overcome by fears. However, they were invariably encouraged to begin by the application of his whip, which he always carried, across their bare recalcitrant backs. He was therefore surprised to discover that several blows from his weapon of chastisement failed to induce a similar response from the latest recruit to his master’s male harem, despite the sanguine stripes the blows had created.

Meanwhile, Caligula quietly grew increasingly angry about Thestis’ unwillingness to deliver himself to the Emperor’s sexual cause before eventually exploding noisily in deep fury, just as the youth received the fifth strike of the eunuch’s whip to his now bleeding back. “Get him out of my sight,” the Emperor screamed, “and deliver him instead to Luda. She’ll know what to do with him!”

The shocked eunuch, now fearful for his own wellbeing for delivering a disobedient new catamite to his master, immediately summoned a couple of fierce-looking palace guards to drag Thestis away. As the soldiers did so, the hurting youth was now correctly petrified that his pride might have led him into very unwise action, or rather inaction.

(Domains of the Black Queen, Lamorrah)

Darkness was descending on Lamorrah once more. However, despite his arduous day-long trudge along the sinister black gorge, Pau had not again espied the Black Queen’s cavalry, or their beautiful naked prisoner. The youth therefore began to think of trying to catch up at dawn, after finding somewhere to shelter from the rapidly accumulating chill and apparent dangers, the latter seemingly evident from the resurgence of the strange worrying noises of the creatures of the night. However, the 16 years old was suddenly deflected from his intent by the appearance, far ahead, of a campfire.

Pau, now regonising that time must now be short to rescue the girl of his dreams, therefore bravely resumed his furtive progress along the gorge in the rapidly descending gloom, despite the pain caused to the soles of his bare feet whenever he misjudged his advance on the sharp boulders underfoot. The youth continued his dangerous progression even when his surrounds became completely black, with the only objects visible being the three moons above and the campfire ahead.

Pau now stumbled frequently and often agonisingly as he advanced, but he was encouraged not to stop by realisation that he was approaching ever nearer to the campfire. The youth’s morale then received a further boost when he could begin to pick out the silhouettes of people grouped around the flames. Finally, from a nearby hiding place, the 16 years old could establish that these figures were indeed the Black Queen’s cavalrymen, plus their still nude and bound young female captive.

Pau also appreciated that everyone appeared to be asleep, presumably because the men did not believe a guard to be necessary, as they did not expect to be followed. The unarmed youth therefore decided that it was now or never to save the girl of his dreams and slowly began to creep towards the somnolent assemblage, hoping to pick up a knife or sword somewhere on the way to assist his precarious enterprise.

Pau courageously came closer and closer to the campfire, near to which the naked girl lay. The ever more perceptible sight of her delectable nude form caused inevitable stirrings within the youth’s scanty loincloth, which he desperately tried to ignore, not wanting any distraction from his dangerous purpose. Neverthless, the 16 years old’s skimpy undercloth began to balloon outwards, as he successfully encroached into the scene illuminated by the glow of warming flames.

Pau was within a few paces of the girl when, to his deep consternation, a loud horn sounded from close by. The youth was momentarily stunned by the noise and therefore had little chance of escape when the previously seemingly sleeping warriors quickly jumped to their feet, some with swords and others with loaded bows already in their hands. The 16 years old then heard the unmistakable commotion of horses approaching.

Pau ran to the genuinely re-awakening girl, whilst desperately scanning his environment to try to identify a possible avenue of escape. However, the unarmed youth quickly recognised the awful truth concerning his predicament when he found that he was totally surrounded by heavily and menacingly weaponed soldiers.

Then, the Black Queen herself emerged from the shadows, mounted on a dark steed and escorted by a large group of cavalry.

“Welcome to my domains, son of the God of Desire, Seporr, and the Goddess of Love, Zamanna,” the grinning Black Queen announced.

Pau, somehow instantly appreciating who the woman was, now again remembered Lea’s words to him. “I can advise you of this,” the beautiful girl, who had ensured that the youth was no longer a virgin with females, had declared, “danger lurks everywhere but the peril is gravest to the south in the domain of the Black Queen. Her cruelty is beyond all measure. Avoid her realm and you might yet succeed to become a true supreme hero as opposed to a sad powerless eunuch or worse!”

(Coliseum of Caligula, Lamorrah)

Thestis was dragged by the fiercely powerful guards, who brooked no argument from the more diminutive youth, out of the Imperial palace and along the narrow torch-lit streets of Caligula’s city, still crowded despite the late hour. The duo, with their deeply apprehensive young charge, marched ominously towards the tall vast amphitheatre, which dominated the nocturnal skyline over the roofs of smaller buildings in front. The 16 years old still wore his scanty loincloth but the eunuch had deprived him of his golden medallion, for the boy was no longer considered to be the possession of the Emperor but rather someone far worse.

The crowds of people, all dressed in similar simple brown tunics, regardless of age or gender, through which Thestis and his resolute escorts passed, looked with a strange mixture of astonishment, admiration, sadness and pleasure at the barely clothed beautiful youth. The first reaction was caused by the rarity of such public display outside the great Coliseum, whereas the second was created because many were highly attracted to what they were seeing. The third response was induced by some pity at where the 16 years old was undoubtedly being taken and the fourth by the fact that this emotion was overwhelmed by the deep-rooted underlying sadism of Caligulans. They thoroughly enjoyed the various spectacles put on for their entertainment in the amphitheatre by their Emperor, and the chief organiser of his regular games, a very attractive young woman named Luda.

Meanwhile, despite Thestis’ plight, the youth’s cock had remained determinedly hard, causing the outline of his erection to be readily identifiable beneath the tight confines of his skimpy loincloth. Recognition of this phenomenon encouraged some of the citizenry to laugh or make ribald comments, as the tremulous youth was dragged past them. Accordingly, the 16 years old eventually reached his awe-inspiring destination with some relief, heavily tempered by rightful trepidation.

Thestis’ escorts immediately sought out Luda, within the dark torch-lit cavernous warren that comprised the great Coliseum’s underground logistics facilities. Despite the gloom, the petrified youth could espy many barred cells imprisoning what looked like chained humanoids, as well as a number of fierce and sometime grotesque beasts. The 16 years old also spotted chambers where strange evil-looking contraptions were stored.

Thestis was eventually brought into Luda’s presence in another chamber, full of instruments of punishment and torture. However, the youth’s hard cock almost expunged the copious sperm, which had been forcibly accumulating within his lovely form over recent weeks, when the 16 years old saw who occupied the awful amenity.

A beautiful naked girl, about 18 years of age, had had her hands tied behind her before more rope under her shoulders had been used to lift her vulnerable lithe body up off the stone floor. An equally attractive young woman, in her early twenties, was currently flogging the younger female’s bare buttocks with a cane.

“Mistress Luda,” one of Thestis’ escorts now announced to the young woman with the cane, “we have another for you to use for your entertainments.” The man then went on to explain the circumstances behind the 16 years old youth’s arrival.

Luda was dressed in a sparse black leather top, which just covered her substantial cleavage and pert nipples but not the undersides of her superb breasts, plus a pair of miniscule black leather briefs with thigh-high boots. The young woman suspended the vicious beating of the younger girl’s formerly delightful posterior to listen to what the palace guard was saying. She then began to examine the new young male arrival.

Luda menacingly tapped her cane into the palm of her unoccupied hand, as she circled the trio of newcomers, with eyes only for the delectable young body of the central male. Having finally completed her slow circumambulation, admiring the clear signs of covered youthful genital excitement on the way, the young woman greeted Thestis.

“Welcome to my domain,” the evilly smirking Luda announced to the ever more scared and worried Thestis, “from where I assure you that you will depart a very changed boy, if I ever let your scrumptious live body leave at all!”

“Strip him,” Luda now menacingly commanded the palace guards, “so that I can see what he’s currently secreting under his loincloth. Then string him up with the other girl, so that I can welcome the boy to my world in a truly proper manner!”

One of Luda’s hands now disappeared underneath the front of her leather briefs. The beautiful but sinister young woman then closed her eyes in ecstasy, as she temporarily played with her clitoris.

Luda’s pleasure was intensified by simultaneously anticipating the imminent immense delights to be enjoyed by welcoming, in a customary manner, the beautiful Thestis to her care.
