It's about the first week of the third month when it happens.
I return to my room after breakfast, after his morning load, and look at myself in the mirror, scooping the worst of the heaviness from my eyes. In my hands it's innocuous, just thick muck, stinking ancient and musky with its virile cargo. Off-white, gooey, ropey, knotted, thick. And I look at myself, and the darndest thought occurs.
What if I should just...
But when I lick my lips, the stuff evaporates. I lift my hand to my mouth, but find it empty. Elsewhere it remains, but that which I try to taste vanishes. Something magical, something strange, so I wash and relegate the detail to the banks of memory. A weirdness, but not something to say: he'd cotton on immediately to what I attempted.
Archaelaus doesn't find me in the afternoon. I ignore that, but when it grows dark, something is clearly wrong. I climb the tower from the first library to the second, and then to the laboratory. He's not behind his desk. I go and look at the tome in progress, neat and orderly, and spot the little bottle of my semen, discarded in a waste basket. Memory might fail me, but it looks no less full.
Taking that to heart, my interest changes. He needed my fluids, didn't he? But then...
'Sonny,' Archaelaus calls. His voice carries, no matter where we are, relative to one another. 'In the sitting room, my boy. Come, see me.'
I descend, at last setting eyes upon him again. The old mage sits in a dressing gown tonight, a velvet purple and blue thing, faintly regal. A fire crackles away in the large hearth, casting a warm glow on the room and its cushioned seats. Archaelaus smiles at me, beckons me to sit on the sofa opposite the flames.
'Son, we need to have a talk. About your future here.'
I sit, nod, and point upwards. 'That bottle of semen,' I say. 'You didn't use it. It was just in a bin.'
The old man steeples his hands, smirking across at me. 'Yes, you're observant. As am I.'
'What?'
'This morning, boy. I saw what you attempted.'
I shudder. 'You mean--'
'Yes, after breakfast.' He sniggers. 'You wanted something for pudding, I take it?'
'No, I mean--'
'There's no use hiding the truth, sonny. Honestly, at this point, it would be strange if you hadn't developed an interest.'
I blush, and frown. 'Fuck.'
Archaelaus smiles. 'Sonny, would you believe I'm glad it was you who came through that portal?'
'But why?'
He nods. 'Because were it the sex-demon I'd hoped for, I'd never experience the satisfaction of true willingness.'
'With an actual sex-demon?'
The old man nods. 'My boy, they have needs, like we do. But it encompasses their whole beings. You and I must soothe our sexual urges, of course, but how we do so is a matter of desire. Can you imagine receiving a blowjob, but the giver is doing so purely to sate a need? It could be any cock, could be any man, could happily be replaced by a golem, a homunculus.'
'Yeah,' I say. 'That'd be shit. But how do I fit in?'
He lowers his eyes, aglow in warm fire, dark lust. 'Because of desire. Desire is what you felt this morning, when you tried to taste my semen. That was desire. True, earnest, noble. And ever so pleasant, to be on the receptive end.'
My cheeks heat up, and I tremble on the spot. 'It was...that was...I didn't mean--'
'Like I said, sonny, there's no use hiding.' He grins, showing yellowed teeth. 'Do you know what gives me the most pleasure, of all things?'
I shake my head.
'To have a youth, of your age, desire me carnally. Not for power, not to butter me up, but truly and purely, to enjoy the process,' Archaelaus says. 'There is something wonderful, in being so appreciated. It's why I've been ejaculating on your face since that first incident. I see, each and every time, that you enjoy being marked by me. You do enjoy it, don't you?'
Slowly, I nod. 'Yes. Yeah. I shouldn't...but I do.'
Archaelaus chuckles. 'Oh, I'll be the first to acknowledge the oddity of your interest in me, but you wouldn't be the first.' His eyes, cunning and wizened, flicker as they trace out my body. 'Perhaps the first to have no ulterior motives, however. You're not like any boy from my world, I must admit.'
I feel at once weirdly honoured, and naturally disturbed by his attentions. 'What does that mean, exactly?'
'You're intelligent, for one thing. Clever, without much trying to be.' Archaelaus smirks. 'I appreciate your presence here, boyo. You're welcome company.'
'Uh, thank you?'
The smirk becomes a faint grin. 'It must've been frustrating earlier,' he says. 'When you tried to taste such tempting produce.'
'Archaelaus...'
'I've been quite busy on that return spell today, sonny, or I'd have sought you out. But I do need some relief.' He parts his feet, stretches his gait. The silken gown falls upon the unmistakeable shape of his ancient manhood. 'Why don't you do what you do so well, boy?'
Something is off, here, but I'm not sure what. And if he's truthful, if he's been working on the spell...
'You didn't use any of cum I gave you?'
Archaelaus nods. 'I needed the image of it, not the quantity. I'm familiar, now, with the universal template encoded in your seed, boyo.' He taps a slipper-clad foot. 'Now please, sonny, help an old man out.'
Fine. What's it matter? I'm just being cagey for nothing, I'm sure. The whole situation is weird, but him asking me to give him a titwank isn't something out of the ordinary.
I go to Archaelaus and drop to my knees, per protocol. He widens his gait a little more, but we both stay dressed. The way he watches me suggests he wants something of a show, so I grin and bear it. The filthy old mage stares intently as I pull my robe up over my head, big unnatural breasts jiggling, feminine curves on this modified frame wobbling. I throw aside the garment, but he remains clothed.
'Magic away your gown?' I say.
Archaelaus shakes his head. 'Unwrap me, boyo.'
I might've once been more rebellious, but that well seems to have dried up. Instead, my lusty brain conjures up word-pairings and meanings. Unwrap, like a present. Like a gift. Like Archaelaus is rewarding me here with the apparent luxury of opening his gown and revealing his ancient monster of a penis and those sagging hulks of testes.
The weird thing is that, as I reach for the gown's cord where it forms a knot across his pot-belly, I am wanting to see what I already know is lurking beneath his robe. For the first time, I'm fully aware that I want to touch, smell, and see Archaelaus's cock and balls.
I gingerly untie the knot and pull aside the folds of his gown, and the old wizard's cock springs up towards me, half-erect already. A huge, broad, gnarled and crooked slab of man-meat, its mighty length beginning from a jungle of wispy grey pubes.
He puts a hand on my shoulder, and I instinctively meet his eyes. 'You know, sonny, that spell is coming along much better than I thought. It won't be too long before I can send you home.'
'Really?'
Archaelaus nods. 'Really.' He gives my shoulder a squeeze with his hairy old hand. 'If you wanted to taste me, boyo, perhaps it'd be best to make the most of our time together?'
'Taste...you...Archaelaus...'
'You did want to, sonny. I'm no fool. And you're a bad liar.'
I blush, and confront that awful thought. To look upon his ancient manhood, to gaze upon those huge bloated hairy balls, and to consider that earlier this morning I so very nearly -- and repeatedly -- tasted this wizened old man's reproductive payload.
This immense penis, now so familiar to me, when framed in the context of what Archaelaus is suggesting, becomes grotesque again. I look upon the man, liver-spotted, pot-bellied, and the interest, the curiosity, grows all the greater. A man of legend, an arch-mage, an old pervert. Hung, virile, assertive, commanding.
I shudder, but I salivate. God, it's so dirty, so arousing.
'I...I did.'
The old man lifts his hand to my face, and cups my chin with rough furry fingers. 'Sonny, there's no need to be so coy about it. Many, across my time, have wanted to taste my lineage, for one reason or another,' Archaelaus says, smirking thinly. 'But I cast a spell upon my seed for good reason, boyo. A vintage of the quality I produce should only land upon deserving tongues. Doesn't that seem fair?'
As mad as it is, I must be too far gone. The curiosity is too potent.
'What...what would make me deserving?'
Archaelaus rubs his thumb against my chin. 'Fellate me,' he says. 'Suck my penis for so long as it takes, sonny, and I will reward you for your efforts. I will allow you to taste my sperm.'
My heart shudders against my ribs, and my head spins. This is filthy, this is so wrong. I'm not gay, I'm not into men. I don't want to be here, I don't want this weird male-female body, I don't want any of this.
But...but I behold Archaelaus's enormous, ugly, aged manhood, and I realise that I am, despite all reason, considering this.
Would it be the worst thing in the world?
It's not like I plan to be here forever. And it's not like anybody back home will know.
