Chapter Three, Finally Some Answers, But Not the Answers I Was Hoping To Hear

 

March 12

It's taken me a couple of days to get this all straight in my head. Maybe it will help if I write about it. Maybe it won't, but I gotta try.

After Jeff made love to me, I passed out. He told me I scared him. At first, he thought he'd hurt me, and he yanked his big cock out of my butt as quick as he could and checked me all over. There was no blood or wounds or anything, but I was out cold, so he cleaned me up and carried me back to my apartment. He found the spare key we keep hidden behind a loose brick (how did he know about that?) and snuck inside with me in his arms. Then he put me in my bed, kissed me good night, and snuck back out.

When I woke up the next morning, I was still tired and had a mild fever. Mom kept me home from school and made me stay in bed, which I did NOT hate. I like sleeping in.

She had to leave for work a little after lunch, so she made me promise to rest. Then she hurried out the door.

I stripped down and took a long, hot shower. My butthole felt normal when I washed it. It wasn't all ripped up or loose or anything I expected it would be after having Jeff's big cock stuffed up inside there. Just thinking about that made my little boner pop up. I rubbed it, happy to see the little guy again, and he seemed happy to see me too, because he started tingling.

Then I stopped.

What if I squirted again? What if squirting turned me into the Cumeleon? I didn't want to risk that! I rinsed off the soap and finished my shower, then got dressed and headed out the door. I needed answers to those questions, and I hoped Jeff would be able to help me.

I knocked on Jeff's door and waited.

The door opened and Jeff took one look at me. He sighed. He motioned for me to come inside and pointed at the couch. We sat down and he nodded his head. "You probably want to know how I know so much about the Cumeleon."

"You think?" I said with my usual sarcasm.

"If you give me attitude, I won't tell you a thing."

"Sorry," I said, lowering my eyes. "It's just been a crazy night, you know?"

Jeff scooted over next to me and took me in his arms, holding me tight. I relaxed into him and whispered, "I don't understand any of this, Jeff. Why is this happening to me?"

Jeff hugged me gently and said, "It's your dad's fault."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, come on. Not that crap. It's always the dad's fault when the kids are screwed up. Everybody knows that. Tell me something I don't know."

Jeff squeezed me hard, making me go, "Oooof."

"Are you going to keep giving me attitude?" he asked.

"No," I groaned, "now stop squishing me and tell me what you know."

Jeff took a deep breath and said, "It started a long time before you were born..."

Aristomenes was a great warrior in the kingdom of Messenia, the son of King Nicomedes and his queen Nicoteleiain.

Aristomenes refused to take a bride, claiming he could not indulge his own desires as long as the kingdom was at war with Sparta, but the truth was Aristomenes did not desire a bride at all, preferring instead his young armor bearer, Damion.

(Woah! You mean they ...?)

(Just hush and listen, will you?)

Damion was twelve when he entered the service of Aristomenes, and he took his duties very seriously, seeing to Aristomenes' every need.

(Every need?)

(Yes, every need. Now stop giggling and listen.)

Damion accompanied Aristomenes everywhere he went, even to war. He served food, cleaned the tent, and satisfied Aristomenes in bed at night. As for Aristomenes, he loved Damion. He educated the boy, protected him, and provided a role model for him. They were very happy together, and that is why Aristomenes wasn't particularly interested in finding a bride right away. He knew he'd eventually have to marry to carry on the rule of Messenia, but he wasn't in a hurry to do so, and he really was quite busy fighting against the Spartans.

It was during a great battle on the plain of Stenyclarus that Aristomenes proved his great prowess in battle, defeating the combined armies of Sparta and Corinth. After the battle, Damion proclaimed his undying devotion for Aristomenes, promising to serve him forever and one day to fight by his side and die defending him if the gods willed it.

It was a tragic prophecy ...

(What? You mean the boy died?)

(Luke, will you let me finish? Please?)

(Okay. Okay. Sorry, Jeff. I won't interrupt anymore. Promise.)

... it was a tragic prophecy, for the following year, the Messenians once again found themselves fighting against the Spartans, but with the Arcadians as their allies. In the middle of the fight, the treacherous Arcadian king Aradia withdrew his forces while Aristomenes and the Messenians fought at the Great Trench. Without the help of Aradia, the Messenians were defeated. Aristomenes and the survivors retreated to the mountain stronghold of Eira, leaving scores of their fellow warriors dead on the battlefield. The Spartans overran the Messenian campsite and took prisoners, one of whom was young Damion, who was waiting in Aristomenes' tent, as he had been ordered to do.

(I don't see what any of this has to do with the Cumeleon.)

(If you will give me one more minute, you will. Just one minute. Okay?)

(Fine. Finish your story.)

The Spartans were brutal in war and even more so to captured prisoners. It was their practice to rape all those captured—men, women, boys and girls—to show their dominance over those they had conquered. Young Damion was dragged into a tent by a particularly large and brutal soldier, where the boy's robe was torn off and he was forced onto his back with his legs pulled apart. When Damion saw the size of the soldier's erection, he panicked. Though he'd easily taken Aristomenes on many a night, this warrior was larger and apparently not interested in gentle love.

Fortunately for Damion, a commotion in the camp disrupted the warrior's plans to pillage Damion. Walking straight into the Spartan camp was Aristomenes himself, without weapon or armor. He offered himself in exchange for Damion, for his love of the boy was so great he was willing to sacrifice his own life that the boy might live.

The Spartans eagerly accepted Aristomenes' offer and set Damion free.

Damion, weeping, refused to go, insisting that he would rather die at Aristomenes' side than live away from him, but Aristomenes ordered the boy to flee. Damion ran stumbling from the Spartans camp, devastated and heartbroken. With tears blinding his vision, Damion ran senselessly, not stopping until he fell down a cliff into a pool sacred to the goddess Aphrodite. When the water brought him to his senses, he found a beautiful young maiden watching him.

"Why are you weeping?" she asked.

"My master has been captured, and I cannot save him," he replied.

"Why must you save him?" the maiden inquired.

"We love each other. If he dies, I die as well," Damion answered. "But I can do nothing to save him, for I am only a boy. If I was a man, I would have died fighting for him."

"You have responded well," the maiden said, and she disappeared in a flash of light.

It was then Damion realized she was no maiden but a goddess. He climbed from the pool and found to his surprise that he was no longer a boy, but now a full-grown man. Full-grown in every way. With a rather large and prominent erection.

A second flash of light caught his attention. The maiden was back, smiling coyly at his prodigious endowment. "I grant you a boon in your quest to save your lover. I give you the ability to hide from the sight of others. Use it wisely and save your master."

Damion, now able to blend in with whatever environment he found himself in, snuck back into the Spartan camp late that night, untied Aristomenes, and helped him escape. Hours later, in the safety of their mountain retreat, Aristomenes made love to Damion, and it was during their passion that Damion's body returned to that of a young boy, impaled upon the man he had rescued, and quite happy to be so.

͠ ͠ ͠

"Damion was the first to experience the power of the Cumeleon," Jeff said, finishing his story.

I shook my head. "If it hadn't happened to me, I would say you're full of shit."

"Language, Luke!"

"Sorry," I replied, turning to look up at Jeff. "But you have to admit that's a pretty wild story. Are you saying that I have the same abilities as Damion, and that some Greek goddess has granted me superpowers?"

"Well ... not exactly. You see, there's more to the story. Damion continued to use his powers to help Aristomenes and the Messenians to fight against the Spartans. For three years, they resisted the Spartans, until one day, a beautiful woman caught Damion's eye. Although he loved Aristomenes and enjoyed nightly pleasure in his master's arms, the woman was quite charming. She seduced Damion while he was in his adult body and introduced him to the delights to be found in a woman's bed. Damion impregnated her—"

"He got her pregnant!" I exclaimed, interrupting with my eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes. They had a boy, and Damion found that he was no longer able to transform into the Cumeleon. Apparently the gift of Aphrodite would only last as long as he was devoted in love to Aristomenes. When Damion gave his seed to a woman, he lost his powers. And without his powers, the Messenians soon fell to the Spartans and Aristomenes was captured again, this time with no way for Damion to set him free."

"Wow. That sucks," I said.

Jeff nodded. "Thirteen years later, Damion's son Nikos discovered that he also had the powers of the Cumeleon. He used those powers for many years, until he also had a son. And so the gift of Aphrodite continued to be passed from generation to generation, from father to son, until our present age."

I pulled away from Jeff and stared at him intently for several seconds. I was having trouble swallowing all this. "So you're saying I'm a descendant of the very first Cumeleon? And I got these powers from my father?"

Jeff nodded. "That's what I'm saying, Luke."

I snorted. "Cool story, bro. Only one problem though. I don't know who my father is."

Jeff swallowed hard, then said, "Luke ... I AM your father."

͠ ͠ ͠

I stared at Jeff, then my lips started quivering, and with a loud snort, I began laughing, falling on my side and hugging myself. When I was finally able to speak again, I looked at Jeff and smirked. "You've been watching Star Wars, haven't you? Just couldn't resist, could you? You should have said that with a deep voice like Darth Vader ... Luke, I AM YOUR FATHER!"

Jeff didn't laugh. He didn't even smile. He just stared at me.

I stammered, "You are joking, aren't you? Pulling my leg."

He shook his head from side to side. "No, Luke. I'm your dad."

"But that's impossible," I said. "You're only twelve years older than me. You would have been ... what? ... eleven years old when you got my mom pregnant?"

Jeff bowed his head. "I wasn't eleven at the time. I was in my adult Cumeleon body when I made love to her. She got pregnant. I changed back into a twelve-year-old boy. And that was the last time I was able to become the Cumeleon. I started growing up then. I couldn't exactly marry your mom. I was twelve. She was twenty. So I stayed as close as I could, watching you grow up, becoming your friend and mentor, keeping an eye on you until you reached the age when you would be able to transform into the Cumeleon and need my help understanding and using your powers."

I jumped up and ran for the door. Turning to face Jeff, I screamed, "Does that also mean making love to me? Your own son!?"

I ran out of his apartment and dashed back to my own place, slamming the door behind me and rushing into my room, where I fell into my bed, weeping uncontrollably.

Jeff didn't pressure me. He gave me time to think it through. I thought he'd follow me and bang on the door, demanding that I let him in and talk to him, but he didn't. So I had plenty of time to think about everything.

First of all, I love Jeff. I realize that now. And I want him to love me. To be my grown-up boyfriend who teaches me all about gay sex and how much fun it can be.

But I also want Jeff to be my dad, to protect me and keep me safe, to guide me and teach me. I've wanted that all my life, and I've been pretending (at least to myself) that Jeff really is my dad. Now I find out that it's true, and I don't know what to do.

I want him to be my boyfriend.

I want him to be my dad.

How can he be both?
