Aphrodite's Curse Ch. 087

Archimedes could feel his mouth drool as he looked upon the object dangling from Hephaestus's Fiery fingers. Still glowing red hot and smoldering, the key was fresh from the forge and the rumbling in his balls matched the nervousness in his stomach as he gazed upon the object of his desire. It had been so long, so many months of self-imposed chastity in the underworld, only to be tricked into further confinement by Helen right at the cusp of his ultimate reward. Now, thinking back to the fifty beauties waiting for him in his palace, all desiring no man but he, finally perhaps this long horrific ordeal was coming to an end and his poor aching cock would finally get relief.

Laughing, Hephaestus whispered to one of his seductive fire nymphs. "He seems QUITE anxious, doesn't he?"

She could do nothing but giggle as Archimedes appeared totally hypnotized by the newly born key.

"Here it is Archimedes, the payoff for all of your spectacular labors!!!" Hephaestus joked as he swung the still radiating key in front of the tantalized human. "Now, please remove your toga, so we can get that little jail off your manhood."

Archimedes turned as red as Hephaestus as he slowly and shyly began to take off his short robe. The heat of the volcano was stifling so he was not heavily clad, but he still had a certain level of modesty, and now even that small amount was going to be stripped away. Lowering his toga to the floor, Archimedes stood in only a single loincloth. Fidgeting nervously, he blushed as he began to untie the side strings. Apart from the sound of constant the hissing of steam exiting the vents, the unmistakable girlish twitter of the fire nymph's giggles caused him even more humiliation as he stripped down. Realizing that today was the big day for his release, word had spread quickly, and all fifty fire nymphs now entered the cavern to watch the show. As he lowered his loincloth to the ground, they all erupted in laughter and delight.

"You have quite a fan club here Archimedes!" Hephaestus laughed. "It is quite obvious that they all want to help you get that chastity cage off, and are even more anxious to see that big cock of yours fire off after such a long marination. If it is half as big as your brain, you must be packing some serious meat!"

Archimedes said nothing, but stood ramrod straight. He nervously laughed while cupping himself in a sad attempt to hide his manbits from the impromptu throng gathered to witness his release. This attempt at modesty only seemed to inflame the already fiery nymphs, and they turned up their hoots and catcalls to deafening levels at his actions. As the only human allowed into the palace of Hephaestus, he had been quite the attraction over the past few months, and being an extremely well built human, they were filled with extreme erotic curiosity about this helper of their Lord. Their presence was very embarrassing to Archimedes and his stripping progress grew slower and slower as the room rapidly filled with more giggling beautiful nymphs.

"Look Archimedes, if you want to get loose, you are going to have to show us the goods, so come on, let's see what we are dealing with!" Hephaestus snickered as Archimedes discomfort amused him greatly. With a huge reluctant sigh, Archimedes dropped his hands to his side and now stood stark naked in front of the room.

Once exposed, a collective yelp went up in the crowd, the biggest one coming from Hephaestus himself. Archimedes was truly blessed in the penile department but the cage he had been suffering in was painfully small. Now completely exposed, it was obvious that he was desperate to escape as his throbbing erection mashed up against the bars in a mangled puzzle of man flesh. His poor blue balls pulsated against the steel mesh and his cock was an equally distressing purple as it squirmed inside its tiny metal prison.

"YEEOW!" Hephaestus cried as he looked at his suffering testicles and cock. "That looks insanely painful!!!! You need to get out of that thing and you need to get out now. GIRLS! Go free that boy right away!" he commanded as he passed the glowing key to Aetina, the lovely curvalicious chief of the fire nymphs.

Aetina's black eyes shimmered as she licked her lips and slowly and seductively approached Archimedes. With sweat pouring off of his body, both from the infinitely spewing steam of the volcano, but also from months of pent up arousal, he felt almost faint as he saw the glorious vision approach. Stacked and completely naked, her ruby colored skin shimmered as he studied each curve of her glorious body. Saliva drooled rapidly from his mouth as he watched the low hanging glowing breasts and the full shapely womanly hips sashay towards him. Grinning like a cat who eyed her prey, Aetina gently grabbed his balls and pulled him towards her, twirling the key around her long fingers as she smiled.

Inserting the key into the lock, she turned and at once the lock sprung open and the iron snap flew apart. Instantly Archimedes' cock sprang out and smacked into his stomach, twitching and drooling as each inch of him stretched in the delights of new found freedom. Sighing deeply, he felt his legs go wobbly as his cock fully engorged with blood and his balls tingled in both pain and pleasure after being sprung from their tight confinement.

Grinning in Pride, the look of bliss and relief that appeared on Archimedes face filled Hephaestus with intense pleasure. He had really grown to both like and admire this incredibly intelligent human, and after the tremendous job he had performed both in constructing the pegging machine for Demetrius as well as the numerous ballistae to be used in the coming war with the Egyptian Gods, he was happy to finally be able to pay him back.

Archimedes was dumbstruck as his normal highly efficient brain now reverted completely to its reptilian form. He could think of nothing now but relieving the pressure in his balls, and the only question now was HOW he was going to enjoy his first moments of penile freedom. Would it be in a delicious fourway back in his palace? Would he take and ravage those golden automatons who had serviced and teased him so relentlessly over the past few months? Would it be right now on the molten lava floor of this volcano with the incredibly sexy Aetina, whose curvy delights and seductive body were just inches from his grasp. Pondering his possibilities, he held his breath as he saw the red beauty drop to her knees and lick her lips. The choice obviously was not his to make, as it was apparent he was going to erupt his load right now into the delicious fiery lips of the beauty who stared so lovingly and adoringly at his aching cock. His head thrown back into a full moan, he placed his hands on the back of her head and grinned as he felt her move forward to take him.

Trembling in anticipation, he rolled his eyes back as he prepared to feel her warm moist tongue bathe his tormented member. As she opened her mouth and with a devilish glint in her eye, she took the head of his cock into her mouth and slowly closed her lips around his glans. As he anticipated the warm velvety feel of her mouth, suddenly seconds turned into minutes and he opened his eyes. Something was wrong, surely she would not be teasing and denying him NOW!

Looking down between his legs he saw her straining, her jaw muscles flexing as she tried with all of her might to make contact with his flesh. Despite her efforts, nothing was working and as she sat back on her haunches in frustration, and to gather strength for another try, he could stand no more. Quickly bringing his hands to his cock he was horrified to discover that he could come close but could not actually make contact with his skin. Something was blocking him and whatever it was invisible and obviously very powerful. Relief turned into anguish as he let loose an earth shattering cry of complete despair and total desperation that shook the entire cauldron.

Meanwhile, alone in the bushes outside Mercury and Pethio's palace, squatted Pan. Nervous and already aroused, he reviewed his options for pilfering Pethio's slippers. This was NOT going to be an easy task, as Pethio loathed Pan for a host of reasons, chief among them was the fact that she felt he was a bad influence on her husband Mercury.

This feeling was completely justified as Pan was indeed a very bad influence on Mercury as he was on almost everyone else. Pan, apart from Dionysus, was the most libidinous of the Gods and making him even more dangerous to marital fidelity, was unmarried. Always one to instigate a boy's weekend out, a night with Pan would no doubt involve as much alcohol, excessive food and willing naked nymphs as any man or God could ever want. Because of this dubious reputation, he was the ultimate buddy to all of the male Gods, but the ultimate enemy of their wives as they knew he would NOT be constructive in their feeble attempts to keep their divine husband even remotely faithful. This combined with the fact that Pethio, as one of the most beautiful and desirable Goddesses on Olympus and one that had never succumbed to Pan's more earthy charms, made Pan extremely nervous and agitated in her presence. Her unsurpassable gorgeous charms got him tongue tied in seconds and the fact that she hated his guts made her just that much more desirable to him.

Thinking about his plan of attack, Pan decided that subterfuge was definitely called for in this situation. If he were discovered inside the palace, obviously Pethio would be alerted, and no matter WHO requested her slippers she was liable to not give them up just out of spite. Hiding amongst the shrubs, Pan looked up the golden walls of the building to the top floor where Pethio and Mercury had their bedroom and studied closely. With some luck, they, as major Olympians and always with a demanding social calendar, would be out. All he had to do was climb up to the top level, slip inside an open window, grab the winged slippers and leave. How hard could that be?

As always, the palace was a beehive of activity and it took hours for there to be a slight respite in the crowds of nymphs that rushed throughout the grounds on their endless duties. Finally, Pan saw a lull and with his furry goat legs climbed up the trellis and perched on the upstairs balcony. Luck was with him he thought as he saw an open window which he skillfully and stealthily climbed through. Entering, his mouth flew open at the luxurious surroundings. Mercury and Pethio obviously lived EXTREMELY well!

The room he entered was Pethio's dressing room and the goat legged God could not believe his good fortune at hitting the right room on the first try. With over one thousand possibilities in the palace, he grinned as the felt that fate herself must be directing his destiny. Everything he laid eyes on was covered in gold and gemstones, and glittered in unimaginable luxury and excess. His humble wooden and rustic palace was a hovel compared to this monstrosity and his feelings of inadequacy were heightened as he viewed more of the interior. Green lustrous jade formed columns that held up a ceiling of pure rubies. "A Hottie like Pethio is obviously VERY high maintenance! Yet another reason to stay single." he thought to himself as he snuck through the baroque and stately surroundings. In front of him stood her cavernous closet, and he felt his cock twitch as he thought of all those glorious slinky silky unmentionables stored within. Shaking his head, he tried to remain focused. "Slippers Pan, SLIPPERS ONLY!!!!" he thought to himself as he gingerly opened her closet.

Opening the diamond incrusted doors, the sight of hundreds of tiny silken thongs hanging on golden hangars was almost too much for Pan to take. Even more enticing was the sight (and smell) below him of the hamper. As his astonished eyes grew wide, he viewed the contents of hundreds of worn moist hot panties all laying at his feet, begging for him to sniff and savor. His cock now straining in his toga, he grabbed a used thong from the hamper and held it to his nose, drinking the rich musky aroma of Pethio's pussy deeply into his divine lungs. The scent driving like a spike into his brain caused his cock to burst through the thin fabric of his loincloth and tent his toga out fully. This was pure HEAVEN, like winning the lottery when you didn't even know you bought a ticket!

Dropping to his knees, he frantically grabbed thong after thong into his hand and covered his face with their silky pleasures. Her strong womanly scent was still heavily imbued in the shimmering fabric and it took all of his willpower not to jack off right there marinated as he was in the fog of her intimate perfume. Shaking his head in an attempt to stay focused, he saw on the top shelf the object of his quest, her delicate slippers.

Pethio, like her husband Mercury, had winged slippers except hers were especially feminine and totally delightful. Made entirely of hummingbird feathers, they glowed in the dim light and as he clutched them in her hand, his cock grew amazingly even harder. Imagining his tongue dancing over the glorious toes that these delicate slippers clad, he began to drip as he imagined a long, teasing footjob from the object of his desire. He was not stupid however, and he knew that every second he remained in the palace was yet another second he might be discovered. Holding the slippers in his hand, he blinked and they began to animate, the feathers moving as they took flight and soared out the window on their mission towards the palace of Zeus. Having accomplished his mission, he should have just snuck back out the window undiscovered and chalked the whole episode up as a victory, but Pan was not known for prudence.

Tip-toeing back to the open window, he paused as he thought he heard the unmistakable moan of a woman in the throes of full lusty pleasure coming from the adjacent room. Horniness and unstoppable curiosity overcame common sense as he was drawn to the erotically charged sound. Before him stood two large sapphire encrusted doors that led to Pethio and Mercury's bedroom and the ruckus from within could not be contained by the thickness of the doors. Bending down to listen, the noise he heard caused his already erect cock to begin to painfully throb.

"OH Mercury!!!!!! Yes baby YES!!!!! Fill me up, fill me up completely!!!!" Pethio shrieked as she rode the prodigious, and bound, cock of her spread-eagle and chained naked husband.

Hearing this, Pan could not help himself, and with all the concentration he could muster, he forced his own arousal down to a point where he could turn himself invisible and slipped silently inside. Finding a huge purple velvet curtain in front of him Pan smiled as he realized this would be the perfect hiding place. Settling in, the heavy aroma of sex permeated everything, and he could not help but give his dick a couple of priming pumps as he prepared to part the curtain and enjoy the show before him.

Back in Vesuvius, Hephaestus was grim. Wanting so desperately to help Archimedes, the howls of his despair erupting from Archimedes throat were shattering to him. Pushing Aetina roughly out of the way, he looked down at the throbbing cock and balls of his human servant with sadness and alarm.

From the visible material world nothing seemed the matter, but it was quite obvious from the desperate clawing of his human friend at his nether regions, something was seriously amiss.

"What the fuck is wrong!!!!" Hephaestus yelled at the top of his lungs agitated by the seemingly unending stress of his human ward. The answer he received both frightened and oddly aroused him.

"Hephaestus, God of FIRE!!" Archimedes panted as he continued hopelessly to stroke his own cock to no avail. "There appears to be some kind of shield over my, my, my"

"Manhood?" Hephaestus interrupted, to Archimedes pitiful nodding in sad agreement. Leaning down to inspect, it was not immediately obvious what was wrong on the surface, but Hephaestus did find it odd that there appeared to be a slight purple aura surrounding Archimedes manly package. Standing up straight, he pulled Aetina up from another futile fellatio attempt and asked her to fetch Esclepius right away.

"Hang on Archimedes!" Hephaestus soothingly spoke. "If there is any God on Olympus who can solve your problem it is Esclepius!"

Minutes seemed like hours for the God of Medicine and healing to arrive, but arrive he finally did. Looking disheveled and out of sorts, Esclepius still was all business as he certainly wanted to impress a major God like Hephaestus.

"What seems to be the problem here?" he matter of factly asked as Aetina guided him to Archimedes.

Quickly explaining the situation, Esclepius continued to stroke his chin in thought as Archimedes grew more and more frantic in his attempt to stroke himself.

"Honestly Hephaestus!" Esclepius finally interrupted. "If he continues to try and touch himself, how on earth am I supposed to perform a proper examination?"

When Hephaestus waved his hand in the air, Archimedes was chagrined to find himself spread-eagled, naked and throbbing in mid-air, his hands firmly frozen out straight over his head while his legs were splayed painfully wide. In this position, he not only could not move a muscle, but every inch of his body was completely exposed from his low hanging throbbing balls to his now stretched open wide ass. Completely helpless and humiliated, Archimedes could only struggle futilely against the divine bonds Hephaestus had placed him in. Frozen in place, his entire body was fully on view and easy to access. Perfect for the examination Esclepius required, the position exposed Archimedes in the most humiliating position possible. If this was not embarrassing enough the gasps and stifled giggles of the fire nymphs only ramped up the level of shame. Everything Archimedes had was now on full display as his ankles were stretched even wider and his throbbing balls hung low and loose while his erect cock bobbed hopefully in the air.

Now with Archimedes crotch frozen and spread wide before him, Esclepius could examine the human thoroughly. Conjuring up a stool out of thin air, the God of Medicine sat in between the poor human's legs and leaned in to observe the situation more closely. Roughly grabbing his balls in his right hand, he was startled when he felt the invisible shield that seemed to surround them both.

Sitting back up straight, Esclepius addressed Hephaestus.

"So, the metal cage dropped right off when you opened it with the key, right?"

Both Hephaestus and Archimedes nodded in agreement.

"And yet, you still feel the presence of a "cage" now right?"

Archimedes nodded.

"This cage was not put on in the underworld by any chance was it?" Esclepius asked.

Archimedes nodded again.

"Well" the God of Medicine gasped in relief as he turned to talk to Hephaestus. "There is your problem. The key you made was of the physical world, and thus broke the "physical" lock. Since the original cage was crafted in, and placed on Archimedes in the Underworld, this lock ALSO has a spiritual side, and sadly, that side is even more potent. No man nor God can release the "spiritual" lock on the "spiritual" cage since the lock is not of the material world." Sensing the growing panic in his human patient, Asclepius smiled and tried to look soothing as possible as he presented the bad news.

"The good news is the key to your mortal lock has been opened, but your spiritual lock remains just as intact as ever. Without obtaining that key, sadly, locked you shall remain until death takes you to the underworld and you can retrieve the key from whatever bastard is using it."

"Can't he just go down there and get the key?" Hephaestus burst out, trying to see a way to alleviate this situation.

"Sadly no, as unless a mortal is escorted to the Underworld by Hades direct command, it is a one-way trip. Now, all hope is not lost. As you know, it is almost the winter solstice and that"
