A New Wind

Taerius stepped out from the darkened recess of the building and into the free, sunlit world outside. He reveled in the brightness of the day, oblivious to the multitudes milling about just before him on the paved thoroughfare. The rest of his life stood open before him like a book, waiting for his eager hand to inscribe with future exploits and adventures. A crisp breeze leapt up and swept through his hair, riffling the packages in his hand and rippling the hem of his kilt.

Taerius was one of the most privileged young men in all of Theropolis: the son of an aristocratic family who had little time for their fifth son but quite enough money. He had been attended by the best of servants, been served by the finest tutors, and enrolled in the most prestigious school of magic in the province. He had graduated a day ago (with high honors), and was to return to his father's villa in the south of the province in a few days. In the interim however, he had time to bid his friends farewell and perhaps visit a few of his favorite establishments.

"Taerius!" a voice shattered his introspection, bringing him abruptly back to the world. "Taerius! I thought you had left already!" the voice came from a young woman sprinting across the courtyard. She -- Daphne -- was his best friend (in fact, his only friend); he had met her his first year at the academy, when he was only 13. He had been shy and sullen, perhaps a result of being suddenly thrust into a situation where he had to fend for himself for the first time. Of all the students he had encountered on that first day, it was only a mousy girl who had sympathized with him and caught his attention: she was small and unassuming, but with piercing green eyes which seemed to transfix him. They had immediately hit it off, and had been friend ever since -- and no more than that, despite rumors to the contrary that had circulated the academy in his final year. They were both four years older now, and far more mature than most their age -- with a quiet sort of mind that lent them wisdom beyond their years. However, both had come from privileged backgrounds and even now displayed more than a little naivete when dealing with the world at large.

She was dashing across the street to meat him. While he waited, he created a Small bit of lightning and absentmindedly threw it from finger to finger, creating the effect of tiny lightning storm about his hand. In a few moments, she had ascended the intervening steps and was standing before him. "Taerius! I had though you were leaving on the early carriage this morning!" she seemed just as exuberant as he over their graduation.

"I was, but I was sent word a few days ago that my father would be here on business and wished to take he home personally. I have until tomorrow." "That's excellent! We can bum around and go the graduation party!" she said, beaming.

"Sure," he said casually. He really didn't want to go to any party, but -- why not. He would only graduate once; he deserved to have fun. "When?"

"Tonight," she said quickly. "Ariadne is throwing a grand celebration at her father's hall tonight; but he's away checking on something or other, so she has the place to herself. Only the graduating grade is invited; she hired bouncers to keep everyone else out."

"Great," he said, thinking. "That means there will only be five hundred people there." He smiled. They were part of a large grade. "Sounds like fun, though. Where's the hall?"

"I don't know; I'll find out from someone. Where should I meet you tonight?"

"I don't know - why not at my room at the boarding house. I'll be packing up there anyway."

"Great - so I'll see you then. It's really nice that you're going to be here!"

"Yeah. I think so too." he sounded somewhat lame as he said it, but he was tired. He hadn't slept in a few days -- preparation for the graduation had been stressful. "I'll see you later."

"Bye!" She strode off, in search of someone else to talk with. Taerius turned and headed for the boarding house, the sun slowly setting behind him.

    Preparations

He unlocked the door and stepped into the apartment. It was somewhat spacious -- he had had the money to pay for it, but now it was half-filled with boxes of his goods. He still had a lot more to do, however, and certainly did not have enough time for a decent sleep, so he set to continuing his work at packing. Two hours passed, and the night was growing -- Daphne would be coming by soon. He put down the vase he had been moving, and retrieved a fresh loincloth, kilt and jerkin from one of the boxes. Stepping out the door, he headed down the stone-paved hall to the washrooms. He pulled of his shirt, stepped out of his old kilt, and unwound the loincloth from around his waist. Dropping them into a linen hamper, he stepped into a bath and proceeded to quickly wash himself off. In a few minutes, he was done. His body was slick with the water, and his jet black hair clung limply to his high forehead. He was well-built, with impressive musculature, the product of his stubborn insistence for swordplay on a daily basis. He had participated in track during his academic tenure, and had the lean, strong legs of a good runner. As he dried himself off with a clean towel from the rack, he noticed that he had grown another few inches since he had last looked. He was very tall, and still growing, 6 and a half feet already. He quickly braided his hair into a ponytail, bound it with a leather thong, and then picked up his new clothes. He deftly wrapped the breechcloth around his hips, fastened the kilt with a light clasp, and then clasped and tucked in the tanned leather jerkin he had selected. He was all in black -- kilt, jerkin, and even the boots which he now donned. His well- tanned skin, normally appearing quite dark, now seemed quite light against all the dark clothing. He inspected his hair once more to see that there were no stray wisps loose, then turned and headed out of the room.

Halfway down the hall, he saw that Daphne was standing waiting before his door. Quickening his pace, he jogged up to her.

"Hallo," he sid amiably. "You're a bit early."

"I thought I ought to be. It turns out that the party is all the way across town and I don't want to wait for a carriage. It will be a long walk." "Sure," he remarked "I like the night air anyway. Let me just grab a few coins." He dashed inside and came out with a small leather sack -- black -- slung casually against his hip.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Yeah."

They set out, descending the stairs and emerging into the brisk night beyond. Normally he might have hesitated at walking alone in the dark, but he found himself suddenly unimpeachably chipper as he strode forcefully down the avenue.

"Steady, Taerius! It's not a race," laughed Daphne. He blushed sheepishly, suddenly realizing how fast had been walking. "We have plenty of time." He grinned suddenly. "But we'll have to hurry if we want to make it to Thrombius'"

"Thrombius'" she asked puzzledly. "Why?"

"I just thought I'd pick up some wine for the occasion. You know, its' impolite to show up for a party without a gift."

Her lips puckered "What an excellent idea! Do you have the money?"

"Sure; I practically have a fortune -- you never know when you'll need it!" he said exuberantly.

"Shhh!" she chastised. "Just announce to the world that you're a good mark." He bobbed his head. "Sorry."

they quickly turned to the right and made their way over to Thrombius' Fine Liquors and Spirits. Quickly disappearing inside, he reemerged with several bottles of sweet wines. She smiled, and they went on their way.

The night grew later, but now the spires of the massive manor loomed overhead. Nudging Daphne, the duo stepped up the marble stairs towards the great iron doors.

    A Gala Event

After quickly confirming his identity to the massively built man standing at the door, he wad admitted and stepped inside the building. He was immediately awed at the sight. The room soared hundreds of feet over his head, with streamers of colorful paper and massive murals filling the room. Long tables overladen with food stretched from one end of the room to the other, and he suddenly felt quite ashamed of his few bottles of wine, as compared to the massive caskets stacked haphazardly against the far wall. He stepped farther in and set his bottles down on the table. Music was being played by musicians at the far left hand of the room, and servants were streaming steadily back and forth from the kitchen to the room, carrying all manner of exotic drink and delicate pastries.

A pair of dancers flitted by, and Taerius was suddenly aware that couples were dancing around the room. Looking about, he searched for Daphne, only to find her hovering directly behind him, a slight smile on her face. "Care to dance?" she asked slyly.

"With pleasure, madam." The smile on his face belied his apparent solemnity, further increased by a deep bow. He swept her away, twirling her onto the main floor and into the throngs of couples already dancing. He lost himself to the lights and sound, and the world blurred into one long moment of chaotic voices and colors.

And then, all at once, the chaos disappeared. He came back to reality, his head swimming. The song was different now, and far fewer people were dancing. He had no idea how long he had been dancing, but he suddenly found himself incredibly exhausted -- he was dog-tired and even sweating slightly in his light jerkin.

Daphne glanced at him. Noticing his fatigue, she spoke "Perhaps I'll get myself a drink and talk with Ariadne for a bit." He smiled gratefully. "I think I'm going to go lie down somewhere; I feel a bit weak." Taerius gave a wan smile to her and wandered away from the crowd, towards a side door. Pushing it open, he found himself in a massive hallway, stretching down and away from the hall, dimly illuminated with oil lamps. He walked steadily down the corridor until he reached a door at its conclusion, iron bound with rough hinges. Pushing it open slightly, he peered within.

It looked like a spare room, perhaps for laundry, as he noted the small hamper on the side wall. There was a door on the opposite wall and on the side; he looked through the side door and found a small pantry beyond. However, most important to him was the light cot on the opposite wall beside the door. Shutting the door through which he had entered, he fell onto the cot and instantly dropped into a light sleep.

He was awakened suddenly my a sharp rapping sound. His head swimming still, his eyes blinked open. The sound came again, louder and more insistent. He moved slightly, his muscled feeling limp and flaccid, and saw that the sound was coming from the door on the opposite wall. Wearily, he rose and stumbled over. There was a deadbolt latch and me fumbled with it sleepily, his mind still groggy. After a moment, he threw the lock and opened the door. Darkness spilled in. It seemed that the door led to the outside world, perhaps to allow garbage to be transported in and out, for the street onto which the door opened was poorly lit and looked like and alley. The tall side of a building rose high opposite him, increasing the similarity.

Framed bleakly in the doorway were the forms of two young men: urchins, by the look of their clothing and the general griminess of their exposed skin. Like him, they wore kilts, but theirs were bedraggles and dirty, and torn in many places. Rags covered their torsos, and their hair fell in grimy, dirt encrusted locks, in marked distinction to his well-dressed coiffure. The one on the left was slightly shorter, with mousy brown hair and similarly colored eyes. He was thin and somewhat bony, as might be expected from a pauper., and clutched a small bag in his hand. The other, rather taller and with dirty blond hair, possessed very light brown eyes, and, surprisingly, a physique which might belied his otherwise decrepit appearance. Perhaps at some former time he had been the athletic sort, but now his body was falling into disrepair.

The shorter one spoke. 'Please, sir, can you spare some food for one hard on his luck.' His voice was high, indicating prepubescence; it was hard to tell under all the grime.

Taerius stared back, now finally waking up. He hesitated. 'I'm sorry, but I don't live here; I'm just a visitor. I don't even know where the kitchens are...'

The smaller one looked downcast, and the taller frowned, then spoke. 'Are you sure...isn't anyone else around who might know? We can't get in at the front.' The smaller one's head perked up.

'No, everyone else is all the way across the house at a party. I was just lying down. But perhaps there's something here. I'll look.' Taerius strode across the room to what he had thought to be a pantry when he first came in, thinking perhaps some food might be stored. However, upon closer inspection, he found it to be only a storage closet for linens, chairs, and other supplies. He turned around, only to find that the two strangers had stepped inside.

'Sorry to intrude, but it is really rather cold outside.' The taller one seemed to have taken over the talking now. 'It's so much warmer in here.' 'Yes, it is.' Taerius was wondering how to get rid of them. Always congenial and polite, he didn;t want to order them out, but he didn;t want to engage in a conversation. Perhaps he could direct them toward the hall...

'I can tell you where the party hall is -- there's food there.' he offered. 'Yes, I'm sure...and many people as well. I doubt they would be as congenial as you with us.' Taerius grimaced at the sarcastically intoned words, knowing that the adolescent had discerned the motive behind his suggestion. Indeed, hey would never get food from the party, but what else could he do?

'Perhaps money...we could buy food with money.' commented the younger one again.'

'Yes,' said Taerius thoughtfully then shivered. 'Could you at least close the door; it's getting cold in here. Let me see if I have anything on me.' He was not stupid, and saw the basic idiocy of announcing that he had a pouch full of coins with him. He scooped it off the floor from where he had left it and fished a few coins out. He flipped them to the younger one, who caught them with glee.

'Thank you very much,' he said, quite happy. However, now the older one was staring at him. He shook his head.

'Yes, indeed. Thank you very much,' said the older. 'Sorry to have taken your time.' He opened the door and stepped out, the younger one in tow. The door swung quietly shut. He sat back down on the bed, and tossed the bag back underneath. Perhaps he could get a little bit more sleep; he was still a bit groggy. Sleep unfolded before, nestling him in its soft folds.

    Rude Awakenings

His dream had been progressing nicely, when something again awakened him. The room was dim now, the oil lamp nearing the end of its fuel. However, in the gloom, he could see a figure by the door, which was again standing open. Rising sharply to a sitting position, he exclaimed 'Hello?' The figure froze. In a moment, the door creaked loudly, and another figure, also shrouded in the darkness, ran in. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, but a pair of strong arms arrested his movement, pushing him back. He looked up, and saw the face of the adolescent to whom he had earlier given money. 'Why are you here?' he asked sharply, angered by their entry and the fact that he was now being restrained.

'My apologies, but I could not help but notice the amount of money in your pouch... It bulged so. You should not carry such amounts of money with you, you could be robbed.' A smile played across his thin lips. The younger one, apparently the second intruder, hissed angrily 'Let's go!'

'Not so fast,' answered the older one. If we go now, he can summon help and catch us. See if there's any rope in that closet.' The younger one scurried off, while the older continued to sit on Taerius, effectively immobilizing him -- struggle as he did, he could not wriggle out. A few moments passed, then the young one reappeared.

'I couldn't find any rope; I brought you these sheets instead; you can tie him with those.'

The older one examined them critically. 'I suppose. Here, help me hold him down.' Taerius struggled, though admittedly it was the fact that he had been duped that would hurt more than the loss of the money. The younger one sat on his legs, while the older one busied himself, tying his hands securely to the metal bedframe, crossed together and bound with a single sheet. Shooing the younger one away, he tied Taerius' leg to the bottom right corner of the bed, fastening it securely. Taerius flailed wildly with his free left leg, and managed to clip the busied older boy in the jaw.

'Ah!' he exclaimed in both surprise and pain, glaring at the prostrate form on the bed. 'You don't have to be so nasty about it. It's nothing personal.' More careful now, he finished tying down the left leg to the other corner of the bed. Finishing this, he tossed the stolen sack of coins to the younger one. 'Quickly, take this and hide it securely in the briar patch. We need it there by morning, before anyone can see you hide it.' The younger boy dashed out the door.

'Now, you. You shouldn't be able to escape from here for a while -- hopefully not until someone finds you. But don't even think about reporting this; it wouldn't be of any real use.' He sat down on the end of the bed. 'The authorities can never track urchins, and don't try. On the other hand, if you did so, you would acquire my ire.' He leaned close. 'And you definitely don't want that.' He sat quietly for a moment. 'I'm going to wait here until my young friend gets back -- I wouldn't want to unexpectedly find out that my knot tying skills aren't as great as I suppose. It will probably be a few hours.' He lapsed into silence again.

The lamp was even dimmer now, it probably had only an hour left to burn. However, Taerius' sense of touch was undampened, and he started suddenly when he felt a hand rest on his leg. Craning his head upwards off the bed, he say that the youth was gently rubbing his thigh, almost offhandedly, as he stared off into space, seemingly daydreaming. As if aware of Taerius' inspection, his head snapped back and eyed him.

He turned towards the prostrate form, and no deliberately began to rub his prisoner's thigh. His hand was warm but rough, and it abraded his soft skin slightly. The adolescent was staring at him through half-lidded eyes, more calculatingly than anything else.

His hand slid farther upwards, and met the hem of his kilt. Smiling slightly, his hand slipped beneath and farther up his leg. Pangs of pleasure began to grow stronger, and Taerius grimaced slightly. He stared at the eyes, still staring directly at his, almost as if the hand was moving of its own accord. The hand reached his tightly wound breechcloth, the boy's arm at full extension. Cradling the cloth and its contents gently for a moment, he squeezed them, putting low pressure on the organ. Taerius swallowed silently. Why was the boy doing this to him!? The hand continued to squeeze and massage, and Taerius felt his penis begin to swell. The adolescent felt it as well, and strengthened his treatment, clenching harder. The organ continued to swell, until now it strained the limits of the breechcloth. The adolescent withdrew his hand suddenly, and Taerius let out a short gasp.

'You like that?' the adolescent asked coyly. Taerius did not respond. 'Of course you did.' Perhaps... no.' Taerius screamed mentally. Perhaps what? As if reading the thought right out of his mind, the adolescent smiled again. Extending both hand, he undid the clasp which held the cloth of the kilt together. Sliding the now loose garment from Taerius' legs, he dropped it casually on the floor. Taerius' erection was still as full as could be under the breechcloth, now visible, and the fabric strained against the pressure. The adolescent squeezed the ballsac harshly, and the blood-engorged organ strained more. The adolescent smiled lasciviously, and squeezed again. Taerius was in agony, his mammoth erection straining against the unyielding fabric. His eyes pleaded. The boy, noting the look, squeezed again, now rocking the balls in his hand and rubbing the sac against Taerius's legs with surprising harshness. Taerius could take no more.

'Please' he gasped, air and saliva expelled from his mouth with the throaty plea, surprised even as he said it. His mind reeled, and he almost blacked out. How could he ask such a thing!? How... how could this be happening!?

    Discoveries and Losses

'Please what?' inquired the adolescent innocently, still fondling the sac.

'Let it out!' implored Taerius, his cock still raging hard against its opposition.

'Surely I cannot turn down a humanitarian plea such as that,' said the boy, again sarcastic. Deftly manipulating the tightly folded cloth, he opened a hole, and the penis bounded out.

Even Taerius was shocked at the size of the organ. Free of its constriction, it swelled to ten inches in length, and easily two inches across. It was more an iron rod that a cock, and the expression on the adolescent's face showed that he, too was impressed.

'Such beauty should not go without reward,' he murmured, and began to stroke Taerius, beginning at the base of the cock and working his way up to the crown. The head was fully exposed, uncut foreskin pulled down to exposed the heaving red-violet pinnacle. Drops of pre-cum leaked copiously from the top, and the adolescent spat on his hand to make it slick and smooth against the swollen dick.

Changing tactics, the adolescent moved his hand off of the organ and stroked his crotch, drawing his fingers through the heavy mound of hair around the base of the organ. A bristly sound of hair against nail came, and Taerius inhaled involuntarily. He felt pressure building up, not ready yet but waiting.

After much time of switching from stroking the cock to combing his hand through the mass of pubic hair, the adolescent ceased all movement again. He waited for a moment, then plunged his mouth over the erect cock, taking in every inch of the swollen organ. Waves of ecstasy swam up Taerius' body as the tongue swept around his rod. He began to gasp,in and out, in and out, n rhythm with the sucking actions of the adolescent on his dick. The tongue dallied at the head, then swept down the whole length in a smooth sweep, leaving no spot untouched by its welcome ravages.

A few minutes passed like this, Taerius gasping in and out, moaning softly, the adolescent rocking slightly, up and down on the cock. Suddenly, a shudder passed down the length of Taerius' body, and, as if a floodgate had been lifted, the pressure which had been building erupted, cum streaming out of the engorged head in a violent stream. The adolescent wavered slightly, awed by the pure fury of the potent cum. It flooded his mouth, and he had to swallow as fast as he could to keep up with it. At last the torrent of semen ceased, the last rivulet trickling down his throat, he savoring every drop. Taerius was still shuddering. With an audible pop, he withdrew his lips, a few drops of semen clinging still to the organ, now shrinking as the mouth was taken away. Taerius' head again rested on the pillows, and he was thinking again. How!? He had never enjoyed such ecstasy, even on those rare occasions when he had succumbed to the urgings of a female and fucked her. How could he have liked that!? The questions swam through his head like drops of water pelting against him, each stinging him sharply into contemplation. Was it pure lust? Perhaps that was it -- the stimulation of the numerous nerves in the penis by oral-- he lapsed into a long rationalization, but ended it just as dissatisfied as before. He had been cocksucked before -- by a women -- and the pleasure had been there, but not so primal or unrestrained as here. How could he!? What was he!? He lapsed into despair.

'First time?' inquired the adolescent, now leaning complacently against the wall above him.

'Y-Yes.' Taerius stammered, 'I-I mean with a man.'

'Well, feel better; I'm not quite a "man" yet.'

'How old are you?'

'16; almost 17. Another few years.'

'I'm just 17. We're probably only a few months apart.' Taerius stated, some level of calm returning to him.

'Get out of here! You're at least 19.'

'No, really.'

'You're fucking seven feet tall and have a cock the size of a horse, and you're telling me you're seventeen.'

Taerius blushed at the description of his member, and noted only 'actually six and a half. I'm just ... advanced for my age.'

'I'll say. Listen, it's one in the morning, and--'

'What!?' taerius began to bold straight up,m then fell back to the restraints.

'One. AM. What about it?'

'I was supposed to leave two hours ago with someone!'

'Really. Who?' he inquired, almost conversationally, a dramatic switch from his composition before the encounter.

'A girl, Daphne...' he looked up. 'You know her?'

'Of course not, ' replied the boy (man?) with ease. 'Just asking. You don't seem the sort to associate with girls, if you pardon me for saying so.'

Taerius blushed again. 'Girls are certainly ... nice enough.' he remarked, with contrived nonchalance.

'I take it you know this from ... personal' -- he stressed the word -- 'experience.'

'Yes,' said Taerius, happy to find himself back on safer ground. 'Ever thought about men; fantasized?' A short silence. 'Don't worry, you'll

never see me again.' Still silence. Taerius hadn't, but he didn't to say so for fear of seeming defensive. 'Well, I'll tell you about me.' Taerius raised his head.

'To spare you the melodramatics, I'll give you the short version. Abandoned at birth, taken care of by an older boy who still harbored some compassion. At 12 I left to find my own way, and took Geryo -- the other boy -- under my wing two years ago. Pickings are scarce on the street, but as you saw, I do a great blowjob, something far more valuable, and something many people are willing to pay for. Nevertheless, I stay in rags -- people seem scared of hiring a well-dressed person: maybe they're afraid they'll meet them again someday.'

'I got a freebie?' Taerius asked, joking.

'Think of it as a hand-out'
