Chapter 8

It took Wolfram two days and several hours before he finally reached his destination. To his surprise, it was a very quaint little house. It didn't look old or rundown at all. There was smoke coiling out of the chimney. Getting off his horse, he stepped onto the porch of the house. The door was opened and there was a curtain of seashells covering it. He knocked on the doorframe. There was no answer. So he knocked again and once again there was no answer. 'Was anyone here?' Wolfram sighed. 'I hope I haven't made this long trip for nothing.' As Derrick had instructed, he traveled westward for two days until he reached the border a thick forest with tall ancient oak trees that touched the sky called the Forest of Ages. He had to travel deep into the woods until he came upon the isolated home of the witch called Esmeralda. According to the red head inventor, she is the last survivor of the original voyagers that first arrived on Americus. So, she would be the one to help Wolfram with his situation.

Wolfram pushed the seashell curtain to the side and entered the house. It was quite neat to say it was the home of a witch. He didn't know why but when he thought about ancient witches that lived out in the middle of a forest far away from civilization. He thought about her living in a hovel or a creepy, dark and damp cave not this nice home. The tables and shelves were not cluttered with bowls or strange grotesque animal heads in jars. Instead of the stench of something dead and rotting masking the air, the delicious aroma of a cooking meal filled his nostrils. There was no dust settled over the room or any cobwebs in the corners. There were no spiders dangling menacingly from a single thread of web. No strange vicious animal sitting in the corner hissing at him angrily and no huge black cauldron bubbling in the fireplace. In fact, it looked like the home of a scholar. There were books neatly stacked on the floor and on several bookshelves. A desk with a chair was nestled near the fireplace. The dancing yellow flames from the fireplace made the room feel nice and cozy.

"Hello," Wolfram called out. "Is anyone here?" He walked around the room staring at a book that was lying open on the desk. As he walked into the center of the room, turning to his left, Wolfram eyes widened in awe. It was the painting of a beautiful young woman with long dark peach colored hair that dragged across the floor wearing a white dress with a red hemline. And she had the loveliest silver blue eyes he had ever seen. Her eyes held a hint of mischief as a smile curved her luscious red lips. He stared at the picture for a while before he turned away.

'Since there is a fire still in the fireplace, she might have just stepped out for a moment. I’ll just wait for her to return.' Wolfram took a seat near the window to wait for her. There was a book sitting on a small table beside him. He opened it and began to read it.

"It’s not nice for a young man to be snooping around in a woman's house," came an amused voice from the direction of the door.

Wolfram leaped out of the chair knocking the book off the table and closed his hand around his sword hilt. He froze as he stared into the face of the woman in the painting. "Are you . . . the witch called, Esmeralda?"

"I should be asking you who you are," she said walking over to him picking up the book he had knocked off the table.

"Please forgive me," said Wolfram letting his hand fall away from the hilt of his sword and bowed to the woman. "I am Ambassador Wolfram von Bielefeld Gilbit of Carolia."

"Ah, so you are the angel the wind has been whispering about." She smiled at the blonde as his cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink. "I've heard a lot about you."

"From whom?" asked Wolfram.

"Oh, from the animals, the wind and the earth. They all tell of a beautiful demon that looks like an angel that comes from the Great Demon kingdom of Shin Makoku."

The blush in Wolfram 's face became deeper as he looked away.

"Now now there's no need to be embarrassed." She walked over to the bookshelf and placed the book back in its spot. Then she turned to face him. "Yes, I am the witch, Esmeralda. What might a lowly witch do to aid such an angel?"

"You can start by not calling me an angel," Wolfram said in indignation.

She only chuckled. Wolfram glared at the woman and then sighed. "I was told by Derrick von Karebelnikoff that you may be able to help me."

"Well, it all depends," she said smiling. "But first, it is lunch time and I am famished. Let's talk about your problem over a nice hot meal. I’m sure you must be hungry as well."

And her answer came by way of his growling stomach. Esmeralda laughed as she went into her kitchen to prepare the meal. "I won't be but a minute. Please sit."

Shortly Esmeralda asked him to follow her into the dining area where a wonderful meal awaited them. They sat down and began to eat. They talked about little things at first before Wolfram decided to tell her his reason for being here.

"Lady Esmeralda . . ."

"Just Esmeralda. I do not belong to any of the aristocrats’ family."

"Very well Esmeralda. Is it true that you are one of the last living survivors from the original settlers?"

She arched one delicate brow. "Where in the name of Shinou did you get that idea?"

"Well, that is what Derrick told me," said Wolfram.

She chuckled softly. "Derrick not only has his head in the clouds but he has it up his ass as well." She took a sip of her drink. "No, I am not one of the original settlers. They just says that because I refuse to come into the city anymore." The woman sighs as she places the half empty wine glass on the table. "It has been a long time since I've seen that red headed fool." Then she snorted derisively. "Besides if what he said is true then he as well as Eric are one of the original settlers as well since we are only a year apart in age."

"You mean you have spent all your life out here all alone?" Wolfram frowned.

“Of course not, I’ve only been alone for about one hundred years now. My husband and I use to go into the city to buy whatever supplies we may need.” She sighed and leaned back in her chair. “I have no living relatives. So, there was no reason for me to go into the city anyway. I am able to get everything I need from nature.”

"How could you stand the loneliness?"

"I am not alone. I have my animal friends and the faerie folks that live deep in the woods," said Esmeralda. "And don't ask about them. I was not suppose to tell you about them. They prefer not to be bothered by demons or humans."

"Very well." Wolfram took a sip of his apple cider and decided to get to the reason he was there. "Now to get to the reason why I am here. I came here because Derrick told me that you could help me to become pregnant for my husband."

"I heard you already had a child. Why would you need my help?"

Wolfram bit his top lip not wanting to tell this strange woman anything about his personal life.

"I need to know if I am to help you properly," she said smiling at him. "You needn't worry. I have no intentions of hurting you. If I did that I’m sure Eric would be after my head."

Wolfram sighed and told her. "Yuu isn't for my husband. I am in love with someone else."

"I see. So you want to have a child in payment for him marrying you?"

"No, that's not it." Wolfram sighed once again and raked his fingers through his hair. "I'm doing this because I really love him."

"But not as much as you love the father of your son."

He just nodded his head. "I know that because I have given my heart to Yuu's father that I can never have children for anyone else. But according to Derrick, you know how to make me get pregnant with another man's child."

"Why do you want this?" She stared into his sad emerald eyes. "Why are you not with the father of your son? It is obvious he is still alive or else you would have no trouble conceiving for another man."

"It’s because . . . because he believes that same sex relationships are wrong and disgusting."

Esmeralda frowned in puzzlement. "Why would a demon think something so stupid?"

Wolfram sighed. "He was raised in a land where demons hide in the shadows and the humans believe that demons are creatures of myths. He was raised with the humans beliefs that such relationships are immoral."

"But why would you . . ." But before she could finish her question, Wolfram interrupted her.

"Please, I don't want to talk about him." Even after three and a half years, the pain was still unbearable.

"Very well." She could sense his pain and decide not to push the subject. "So, why do you want to have a child for your husband?"

"Ellis is a very wonderful man. He married me knowing that I would never be able to love him as I do the other man. We have been married for a little over three years now and he hasn't once demanded that I perform my husbandly duties to him in the bedroom." Tears began to trickle down his cheek. "Also, when I told him that I would never be able to give him a child of his own, he just smiled and said it doesn't matter. He just accepted Yuu as his own son. Ellis deserves better. He deserves to be loved. He deserves to have a child of his own."

"And do you love him, little angel?" Esmeralda silver blue eyes seemed to bore into his heart and she knew his answer before he said anything.

"Yes. Yes I do. I love him very much," Wolfram said as a smile of happiness curved his soft lips. Ellis had given him and Yuu so much joy and love over the years. It would be next to impossible not to love him. But Yuuri still was his heart and soul. No, he wasn't going to think about Yuuri now. All that matters now is making Ellis happy for once. He turned those smiling emerald orbs up to stare into her eyes. "I would do anything to make Ellis happy."

"But I can see the love for this other man is buried deep within your heart and soul. Are you sure you want to do this?" She stared at him. “You and the man that holds your heart may meet up again in the future.”

"Yes. I know that one day Yuuri and I will probably meet again. But I want to do this because although my love for Ellis isn't all consuming. It is just as real." He smiled at her. “Besides, if Yuu’s father and I should meet again.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Well, there’s nothing that can be done about what might happen in the future.”

Esmeralda smiled at Wolfram warmly. "You are such a generous person. I will do it on one condition. As you know, I do not have any friends, demon or human. I would like to come and visit the child after it is born?"

Wolfram eyes widened in shock.

She smiled sadly. "Although I have my friends here in the forest, I do miss talking with my own people. Every since my husband died, I just cut myself off from civilization. We never had a chance to have children."

"Then you should come to the city. Who knows you just might meet yourself a man that will love you."

"Don't be silly. Who would want to love an 'ancient' witch?" she snickered at using the word ancient. Since she is only hundred and fifty-five years older than Wolfram.

"Are you kidding? You are gorgeous. I’m sure lots of men will probably flock around you," said Wolfram smiling. "As for you coming to visit our child, you will always be welcomed in our home. And feel free to come before the child is born. I'm sure Ellis would like to meet the person that has given him this wonderful chance to be a father again. Besides, it's the least we could do for the woman who will be the child's godmother."

Esmeralda stared at Wolfram in shock. "R-really?"

"Of course, I can't think of anyone better. You are the one who will be responsible for this child's very existence."

Her smile brightened her silver blue eyes making them shimmer like stars. "Thank you." Then she got up. "Well then, I guess I better get the potion ready for you."

Two hours later, she walked out of her lab with two small pouches. "Listen to me carefully. This red pouch is for you. You must brew it like tea and drink every drop of it. You mustn't leave a drop and no one else must drink this. Now, when you brew it, make sure to put a lock of your husband's hair in it."

"What will this potion do?"

"Using your husband's hair in the potion, it will stimulate your reproduction ability into thinking that this man is your one true love and your body will accept his seed. It must be brewed for ten minutes and then let the potion sit for five minutes before you drink it. Also, you must use this potion during the full moon. It is the only time this potion will be able to take effect."

"The full moon? That’s two days from now. I’ll just make it," said Wolfram. "What about the black pouch?"

"This?" She held up the pouch and placed it in his hand along with the red pouch. "It’s a slow acting aphrodisiac to give to your husband." She winked at the blushing blonde demon. "Better safe than sorry. I mean you have to make sure his seeds makes it through." She giggled naughtily at him. “Make sure you give it to him around dinner time. That will be enough time for it to work its way into his blood.”

Wolfram turned beet red. "How much do I owe you?"

She smiled at the blushing young man and led him outside to where his horse was waiting. "You have already paid me. By inviting me into your home as a friend and letting me be your child's godmother is payment enough."

Wolfram smiled and threw his arms around her in a hug. "Thank you very much. I know that we will be very happy." Then he hopped onto his horse. Before he could leave Esmeralda told him one last thing.

“One more thing, there is a surprise instore for you a month after you become pregnant.”

“What sort of surprise?”

She opened her mouth as though she was about to tell him but then closed it as she smiled at him mischievously. “No, I think I will let you be surprised.”

Wolfram arched a blonde brow.

“Don’t worry. It isn’t anything dangerous. In fact, I dare say it will make your delivery easier than your first one.”

Wolfram began to wonder what she meant but decided that it wasn’t anything bad. If she was an evil witch, he was sure Derrick would never have sent him to her. He told her good-bye and rode away.

When Wolfram arrived home, the sun had just settled behind the horizon. He stepped into the house to find Ellis lying on his back playing with Yuu. The three-year-old was jumping up and down on his father's stomach laughing.

'Well," said Wolfram closing the door behind him and smiling. "Here’s my two favorite guys." He walked over to them and took Yuu into his arms. "Have you been a good boy for daddy?" He kissed the toddler on the cheek.

"Yes mommy," said Yuu giggling as Ellis began tickling him under the chin.

"So, how was your trip?" asked Ellis smiling. "I asked Derrick and Corwyn but they would not tell me."

"It was nothing really," said Wolfram lying. "They told me about a wondrous animal that lived in the Forest of Ages. I wanted to see it for myself."

“I see.” He smiled as he took the rambunctious child out of Wolfram’s arms. “So, did you get to see this mysterious beast?”

"No, I could never get a good look at it. Whatever it was. It was quick. I was only able to get a glimpse of long flowing peach colored mane and shimmering silver blue eyes."

"Sorry you didn't get to see." He placed a kiss on Wolfram's cheek. "But maybe next time you want to see it. I will go with you."

Wolfram smiled. "Okay."

"Are you hungry?" Ellis asked. "The cook should have dinner ready."

"Yeah, I am starving." He wrapped his arm around Ellis' waist and all three went to the dining room to eat.

As Esmeralda had instructed, Wolfram poured the aphrodisiac in Ellis' wine. But getting a lock of his hair was the difficult part. But the ingenious blonde came up with something.

"Hey, do you know one side of your hair is uneven," said Wolfram while they were eating. Yuu had his spork playing in the mash potatoes.

"It is?" Ellis said startled as he grasped a handful of his hair. "That's strange. I just had my hair trimmed."

"Well, whoever did it did a sloppy job." Wolfram stood up walking out of the room and came back a few seconds later with a pair of scissors. "Here, let me do that." He grasped a lock of his hair and cut it with the scissors. Placing the lock of hair into his pocket, wolfram cupped Ellis' chin and turned his face up to look at him. "There, much better." He placed a chaste kiss on the soft lips of his husband.

Ellis stared at the demon prince in shock. It was the first time in three years that Wolfram actually initiated a kiss. All the other times it was Ellis that always kissed the blonde. But now . . . something has changed in him. Ellis can see it in his eyes. 'Does he want our relationship to evolve into something more?' Staring into those lovely green eyes, the captain could feel his heart thump against his chest in hopeful anticipation. He was brought out of his lustful thoughts when a glob of mash potatoes hit him in the face.

Wolfram tried to hold back his overwhelming emotions but the fit of laughter erupted from him as Ellis picked up his napkin wiping away the mash potatoes that hit him in the face. Yuu sat in his chair laughing at his daddy. "Daddy kissing mommy."

"Yeah. Well daddy is going to kiss you too." He leaped from his chair wrapping his arms around the child hugging and kissing his little pudgy face all over.

"All right you two," said Wolfram smiling at his family. "That's enough of that. Let's finish our meal. I’m sure the cooks didn't mean for us to be throwing their hard work at each other."

"You’re such a killjoy," said Ellis giving Yuu one more hug before sitting him back in his chair.

"Yes, but I’m your killjoy." Wolfram kissed his lips once again. Ellis smiled. He rather liked this bold verison of his husband. Then they sat back down and continued to eat.

After dinner, Ellis retired to the library to read Yuu a story while Wolfram went to the kitchen to begin the brewing of the potion. Dropping the lock of his husband hair into the potion, he watched the elixir as it dissolved the hair into it. AS the potion cooked it began to change from blue to pink. It did this several times before settling to pink. When the potion was finally brewed, Wolfram let it set for five minutes as instructed and then poured the pink liquid into a large cup. He inhaled the aroma and it smelt like cherries. Taking a sip, he was surprised. It tasted like strawberries. 'Esmeralda said to drink every last drop.' Wolfram placed the cup to his lips and drunk the potion down without spilling a drop. 'I hope this works.'

That night after everyone had gone to bed, Wolfram waited nervously in his bedroom for Ellis to come to him. Every since they were married, the two have slept in separate bedrooms just as Wolfram had specified. Instead of protesting this arrangement, Ellis just smiled and agreed to do it. The older man did not want to push Wolfram into somthing he was not ready for. But tonight all that will change. Tonight Wolfram and Ellis will finally consummate their marriage, and for once Yuuri was not in his thoughts. Instead of wearing his usual pajamas, he wore the nightgown he bought before he left to find Esmeralda. It was a lite blue gown made from the softest satin. The soft sheer material clung to his lithe body and was cut off at the thighs showing his long slender legs. Then he stood before the mirror brushing his hair vigorously until it positively shone, the golden strands contrasting startlingly with the blue satin. He walked over to the bed, then stretched out on it in a sensual pose. The moon light lent a mysterious sheen to his satin clad body, and he hoped Ellis wouldn't be too long.

His pulse started thumping away at a strangely fast speed as he finally heard footsteps outside the door. As Ellis walked into the room, Wolfram placed his arms above his head provocatively as he cast a deliberately languorous look at him. Bending one leg at the knee, the soft material slipped down his leg revealing more of his creamy thigh. Ellis only wore a pair of white pajama bottoms.

Ellis closed the door behind him and stared in awe at the golden hair beauty that was stretched out on the bed looking very delicious. He could feel his cock twitch in anticipation. Over the years Wolfram had let his hair grow long and now it brushed just pass his shoulders. To Ellis, Wolfram was indeed an angel sent from heaven or maybe hell to tempt the hearts of men.

"Wolfram," he squeaked out. Clearing his throat, he tried again. "Wolfram, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing," he said seductively. "I’m tempting my husband."

He arched a brow as he could not get enough of looking at the seductive beauty before him. Ellis slowly made his way over to the bed and sat down beside Wolfram. He raised one hand and caressed the blonde's soft cheek. His skin and hair were still damp from his bath, and the damp pajama pants clung to Ellis' lean hips revealing his obvious arousal. "You look so desirable that all I want to do is touch you all over."

"Is that all you want to do to me?" Wolfram whispered in a husky voice. His breathing became heavy as he could see the lust consume the eyes of his husband.

"Wolfram, what are you saying?" Ellis asked swallowing a dry lump that was stuck in his throat. Was Wolfram saying what he thinks he is saying? He had to make sure as he waited for the blonde to repeat what he had just said.

"I want you to make love to me." Wolfram began to seductively trace his fingers up Ellis' arm.

Ellis felt every inch of his body grow hot as every touch from his husband sent his blood serging through his body. He became extremely hot as he watched as one long silky, creamy leg came to rest across his lap. Suddenly every inch of his body became hot and hard. He just had to touch the temptress. One hand slid up a bare thigh and slipped under the satin gown. Wolfram groaned arching his back off the bed as Ellis wrapped his hand around his throbbing erection. Then he leaned down and began ravaging Wolfram's neck.

"By the gods Wolfram, I want you," Ellis said breathing heavily. Then he sat up a little staring into those bright green lust filled eyes. "Are you sure about this Wolfram? If this is . . ."

Wolfram placed a finger over his mouth silencing him. "I said I wanted you to make love to me and I meant it. I believe the time has come for me to leave my past behind and move forward."

After that, there were no more questions or doubts as lust took complete control of the human. Not being able to wait any longer, he tore the thin material in half revealing Wolfram’s blemish free body. Well, he would take care of that. Ellis leaned down and latched his mouth onto one of Wolfram's nipples sucking and tugging on it until the pink bud was a hard nub. Then he moved over to the other and assaulted it in the same manner. Beads of sweat formed on their bodies as Ellis trailed hot scorching kisses and little love bites over his body, and then dipped his tongue into the dimple of his navel.

Wolfram writhing and moaned beneath those talented lips. He gasped as he felt the warm moist cavern of Ellis' mouth wrap around his arousal. His back arched off the bed as he began to thrust his hips upward forcing his cock into his husband's mouth.

Ellis placed two fingers into his mouth wetting them thoroughly and then placed them at Wolfram's entrance. Wolfram groaned as Ellis thrust one finger in and out slowly. At first, it was uncomfortable because Yuuri was the last person he slept with and that was three years ago. But luckily the pain only last a few minutes before it became quite pleasurable. At first, his thrusts were slow and deep but as he added the second finger, he began to thrust his fingers faster and deeper into the tight entrance. Wolfram groaned and panted, and spread his legs wider.

A deep guttural growl slipped from Wolfram’s mouth as a third finger was added. He nearly screamed when those long fingers brushed against his prostate repeatedly.

"No," Wolfram moaned as the digits were removed.

"I can't wait any longer," panted Ellis lowering his pajama pants revealed the hard flesh of steel to his husband.

Wolfram gasped as the engorged flesh seem to pulse as the head was a scarlet red. Ellis quickly placed his throbbing cock at Wolfram's tight entrance. Then he thrust forward shuddering with the helpless intensity of his need. There was a sharp flare of pain but within minutes it was gone and all that remained was pure pleasure. With each thrust Ellis struck Wolfram’s prostate. Ellis wrapped his sweat dampened hand around Wolfram's throbbing cock stroking it in time with his thrusts. Wolfram was so lost in the pure bliss of his husband lovemaking that he didn't know which was better, the enclosed fist around his cock or the hard flesh pounding into his body. The blonde wrapped his long legs around Ellis' waist moving to match his husband's thrusts as their bodies were locked in their own sweet pagan rhythm. The tempo of their lovemaking began to build and swirl up and up until Wolfram could hear his own voice crying out in ecstasy as his orgasm washed over him.

Ellis groaned with the fierceness of his pleasure as the world exploded into a thousand tiny fragments of shimmering delight as he coated the inside of his love's body with his seeds. Wolfram wrapped his arms around his husband holding him closely to his chest as they laid their letting their rapidly beating hearts calm.

Ellis groaned as he felt the walls of Wolfram’s insides tightened around his awakening erection. He closed his mouth onto the lips of this beautiful creature that belong to him as he once again began to thrust into that delicious, hot body beneath him. Kneeling in the bed, Ellis sat back on his legs and pulled Wolfram onto his lap. Wolfram howled in bliss as his husband's cock seemed to slip deeper into him in this position. He felt his own erection stir as he impaled him onto the steely flesh repeatedly. The entire night was filled with their wild passionate lovemaking.

It was a little over a month later before Wolfram went to see the healer to see if he was pregnant or not. Ellis was with him as they waited for the healer to come out. No more than a few minutes pass before the salt and pepper hair young man walked out of the examination room. He sat down at his desk and stared at the couple.

"Well doctor, is anything wrong with Wolfie?" Ellis asked worried. "He has been sick for a few weeks now throwing up every morning."

"Well, that's to be expected given his condition,' said the healer.

"What do you mean?" Now Ellis was becoming more worried. "What condition are you talking about?"

The young man smiled. "Congratulations Captain Gilbit, you're going to be a father."

Ellis sat there as if turned to stone. He turned to Wolfram and saw the pink staining his cheeks. "Is this true?" Wolfram only nodded his head. Upon hearing this he pulled Wolfram into his arms hugging him tightly as a smile spread across his face. "I'm going to a father." He roared in joy. "Oh Yes!" Ellis was about to scream again when he remembered what Wolfram had told him about a male demon pregnancy. He turned to Wolfram frowning in thought. "Wait. I thought you . . ."

"I'll explain it to you when we get home," said Wolfram standing to leave. "Thank you doctor.”

"Wait, there is something else I have to tell you," said the doctor. "It is the most extraordinary thing I have ever seen. The last case like yours was a little over a hundred years ago."

"What are you talking about?" Wolfram sat down and frowned at the young man. Then he remembered what Esmeralda told him about a surprise happening after he has been pregnant a month. "So, what is it?"

"Well, there hasn't been a situation like yours to happen for a long time but I never thought I would be around to see Esmeralda's work. She truly is a great woman." The young man bright golden eyes shown with admiration and awe at the work of the witch.

"Esmeralda? You mean Wolfram's friend," said Ellis.

"She's your friend." The doctor's eyes widened in awe. "Do you think you could introduce me to her?"

"Sure. Whatever. Just tell me what this surprise is?" Wolfram snapped.

"Oh sorry. As I said there hasn't been a case like yours in over a century. As you know, all male demons are born with both male and female sex organs. Well Wolfram, it seems that for the pass month your body has been slowly changing."

"How so?"

"After careful examination, I’ve discovered that you now possess a vaginal and a birth canal for the child to pass through." Both men stared at the demon healer as though he had gone insane.

"You mean I . . . I." For some strange reason Wolfram had a feeling that the witch was right now laughing her ass off as he found out the surprise. It was one thing to be able to have a child for a man that was not your soul mate but it is a different thing when your entire body has changed into that of a woman. It was just too much for the blonde demon to take in one day. Suddenly his eyes rolled back into his head as he collapsed into his husband's arms. Ellis held him in a gentle embrace and then lovingly lifted Wolfram into his arms. Kissing those soft lips, he turned to the doctor smiling.

"Guess I should take him home." Ellis thanked the healer and left with his husband and the wonderful news of being a father. 'Wolfram, does this mean you love me as you do the demon king. Or did you do something else to make this happen?" He stared at the unconscious form of his husband in his arms. 'I guess I won't get any answers until you wake up.'
