Aphrodite’s Acolytes

Chapter 39: Aphrodite’s Acolytes

At sundown on the Saturday, after dinner in the Great Hall, the housemaids delivered the costumes. Each man changed in his own room and returned to the table to be blindfolded and hooded. They were then led to and then down the staircase in the secret room and the roof closed above them. When they were given permission to remove the disorientating headgear, the men discovered they were in a chapel, or rather a temple illuminated by torches and candles. Behind a table stood a lectern and behind the lectern stood High Priest Atha who was speaking Greek following a text devised with Sir Thomas. Despite all the open flames there were curtains covering 4 parts of the room.

It would not take much intellect for the other men to realise that they were underneath the castle or that they probably accessed the place via Thomas’s study but nevertheless they did not know quite where that access might be. Apart from the house owner and the priest one other participant had been down before for a reason that would soon be clear to the others.

Sam now spoke in English “Do you swear loyalty to the goddess Aphrodite?”

“I do.” was the chorus.

“Do you swear this on your life?”

“I do.”

“Then consummate the relationship with your seed.” and he pulled back a concealing drape to reveal the stone goddess from Urra Moor. Gasps came from the room as this was a piece of erotica beyond anything they had previously seen. In fact a couple started thinking how they might obtain it. Even the genitalia of the perfectly breasted statue were crystal clear. It was a treasure without equal.

Thomas showed what Samuel meant by pulling his penis from his short tunic and waving it in front of the goddess. His quest to get hard was made easier as he recalled his dreams set in her temple. This was not quite a comparable location but nevertheless he became aroused enough to produce a white jet onto Aphrodite’s chest. The others did not find it so easy until 2 more curtains were pulled back revealing naked sisters, Mary and Maria, shackled to the wall. They were not exactly drunk but a little gin had given them the courage to play their part. A couple more managed to climax and as a reward were allowed to grope the chained maids.

Then the final curtain revealed its secret a young girl, auburn haired girl barely 18 dressed like the men in a tunic which was if anything even shorter. Her guardian, Eugene Maltravers, had, for a want of a better word, been grooming her since she was orphaned and by the time 18 was so obsessed with him she would do anything he said. His plan was to marry her when she turned 21 and inherit her fortune. The miscreant had not fucked her at this stage but the girl had been schooled in pleasing a man with her hands.

There was a metal collar with a chain around Arabella Skipton’s neck and Eugene, who had already completed his initiation, led her to behind those still trying to provide a tribute to the goddess. Thomas marvelled at her skill as she put her hands around 2 sets of testicles while sucking another man’s balls. Squeezing, tickling, pulling, sucking and even playfully biting was enough to encourage the 3 shaft wielding men to adorn Aphrodite with their man fluids.

When all had performed their duty the men were all beckoned to sit down. The High Priest waved some incense and spouted some more Greek. Squires replaced Atha at the lectern and told a joke in the ancient tongue which only Samuel understood before continuing

“Welcome acolytes of Aphrodite. The Goddess has spoken and she requires worship by fornication. To this end you may now spill your seed with whomever and wherever you see fit. As full temple members you also qualify for membership of The New Hellfire Club in London which will be opened on August 12th. If any of you believe grouse shooting is more fun than hedonism by all means shoot some birds - we shall not be thinking of you. It goes without saying that the nature of this temple and that club are secret and must not be mentioned outside those locations. You are responsible for keeping those secrets and for the discretion of any women I sincerely hope you bring to either.”

“A doctor” he pointed at the youngest of the new intake, “will henceforth always be on hand to look for sign of the pox among other things. Your lady friend may have to undergo further tests before gaining entry at which point she will be given the opportunity to refuse. We only want the committed. Now you have all blessed the Goddess, she requires but one thing, to be anointed by the blood of a virgin. Are there any virgins here?”

All eyes fixed on Arabella.
