The Bressington Hall Key John Bromfield >dash10uk@yahoo.com
My family go back a long way to when William the Conqueror defeated the Saxon English For payment was give a large area once owned by a Saxon Lord. So the family suddenly came into money and a fine stone built house. Over the years it became larger. The main building was rebuilt and two wings were added.
The disaster struck in 1949 when the house caught fire and the total loss of the main building and the west wing. After the event it was discovered that the fire insurance had lapsed 10 years before. That part of the house became a ruin and was left. In the east wing there was very little damage and I spent a blissful childhood there. Went to a public school and then on to university and got a degree in Applied Mathematics. I got a job with the help of my father in an accountancy firm.
At work there was a message for me to go to the reception desk. It was not what I was expecting. There was two men both in police uniforms. "Are you Samuel Stromboli?" there was no malice in his voice so I was not in trouble. "We regret to inform you your parents were killed today in a motorway pile-up. It won't be necessary for you to identify the bodies. Sir we are very sorry we will leave you these addresses the hospital and councillors.
I was stunned although we were not a close family but a loss nether the less. I got time off work and was told to take as much time as it was going to take to get all the affairs in order. On the corner of the estate was a two bedroom cottage that was called the granny annex, This was given to me as my 21st birthday present. I think it was to be an encouragement to find a lady with lots of money to marry. Alas I am gay but it is big enough for me.
After the funeral was the reading of the Will. We were not a big family and only aged aunts and uncles were left. The jewellery was shared between them and they looked very impressive but the diamonds, emeralds and rubies were all paste. All look overjoyed to receive them. I just hope no one is going to take them to a jeweller to get them valued. I will let them have their happiness as after they found a mirror to see themselves wearing them like royalty. The rest of the house and estate comes to me or rather it does not. Inheritance Tax means everything has to be sold and I get nothing. All the paintings of the great masters were copied and originals sold. "Samuel this is also yours" it was a small wooden box "The instructions are to be given to the heir of the estate at the reading of the Will of the owner of Bessington Hall." The box was a cube of 6 inches square. I open the box and there is a key. The interior had been changed over the years and now had a red silk lining. The key had a red ribbon tied to it. The key itself was black like it had a tar coating. "What is it for?" I enquired "Well we don't know. The box has a lock but the key does not fit the lock. It comes with a piece of paper it says "The holder of the Key can only unlock once. Warning the Key also has another owner. Once He has the key you will never be free." as the box and key are still here the other owner does not have it. "Can you say when the box came into the family?" "it has been in our offices since we were founded and before that held in the bank vaults. There were a few bank robberies but once they saw it was only a rusty old key it was left behind. I hope that has cleared everything up and I wish you a good day" the man started to put the documents in his briefcase "Oh I almost forgot Mr Stromboli can you sign here, here and here and here. That you agree to sell Bessington Hall in lieu of Death Duties. We have to keep the taxman happy don't we?" all paperwork signed "Oh sorry to bother you again did you wish us to deal with the selling of the house?" "Yes alright" I replied glad its nearly completed "We recommend Braden & Braden auctioneers and their auctions are also online" and yes I was not a fool I knew how things worked and I really didn't care. I wanted it over with. "Yes, yes they will be fine" and a broad smile appeared briefly on the lawyer's face. "I will be staying at Dove cottage and not at the house. Craddock the housekeeper will be staying on until the sale of the house. The rest of the staff I am giving them a months notice to leave but I will leave their details in a welcome pack for the new owners". Craddock had laid out a small cold buffet and told her of my decision on the staff and she burst into tears. "Its alright Craddock the new owner will bound to want more staff and I'm leaving contact details here at the house" Having said goodbye to all I seek sanctuary at Dove Cottage and put the kettle on as soon as I arrive. While waiting I take a look at the box. Well made and looks like Yew wood. Yew wood is a hard wood and poisonous to most insects and humans. I open the box and look at the key. Keys are not my subject so couldn't say how old is. Tar preserves most things mmm. I make a large mug of tea. "The holder of the Key can only unlock once. Warning the Key also has another owner. Once He has the key you will never be free." That sounds like a threat and should I give it back to the lawyer's office and never solve the mystery? No (The story would end there and be very boring let risk it)
Under the stairs there is a cupboard and all kinds of things are kept in there. I get a torch ah yes there it is paint stripper. I put the key on a side-plate and coat it using a small paint brush. It takes time to react with the paint and I see brass no gold. The key is made of gold. I look at the box more closely the key insert is gold also. (Sometimes you want to shout at the hero "Don't it" but you know they are going to do it anyway) Sam washes the key in water as paint stripper is corrosive. He examines it for markings or assay marks there are none. He inserts the now gold key and it fits. He turns the key and something strange happens (The box is a perfect square and has been solid for hundreds of years) the four side fall flat like a house of cards. The air became cold. Sam drank his tea and put another log on the fire then put the fireguard in front of it and went to bed.
Sam when he got into bed his cock was stiff. I must have a wank. As he was stroking his cock he thought there was someone with him but ignored it. Just as he was about to cum (Like the point of no return) he felt a tongue probing his rosebud. Oh yes he raised his legs he could not help himself oh yes this is so good Ahhh yes yes oh fuck yes as the tongue increased the pleasure. He pick up a Keenex just to cover the cum and fell immediately into a deep sleep. On waking it was 10am and the Keenex was clean and no signs of dried cum. Time for a shave and shower. I let the shower run a moment to get up to heat. I have a wet shave and the room is getting a little steamy. But looking behind me I see a ghostly shape in the form of a man. "Who are you?" I asked "I am the Holder of the Key you belong to me" he whispers in my right ear and it was not said in a nasty way. "Who or what are you?" I said in a nervous tone (I think I would too) "My Name is Absulon and I am a incubus. I feed on lust and sex. If I were to feed on you only you would not live long. I am weak so I need to feed. We could strike a bargain where by we both get what we want from a man" I rolled the thoughts around my brain a bit "Can I have a shower now?" Oh be my guest" he said.
I needed to get some supplies from in town and I wanted a piss and went to the public toilet so I choose the end urinal and young man comes in and stands beside me. He looks down at my cock I asked if he wanted a closer look? he dropped to his knees and put my cock in his mouth. "I told him to go into the end trap and take off his trousers off" I followed a minute later. I sucked his cock till it was nice and stiff. Then I turned and presented my ass "I aint done this before" "Do it" I commanded and his cock entered me oh yes yes "That Feels good doesn't?" "Yes " is all I heard "Oh oh fuck oh fuck yes yes" and I knew exactly where Absulon was at that rosebud licking up the young man's joy and lust. Oh I did enjoy that. I sat the man down on the pan and put his trousers on around his ankles. He was sleep. Absulon said "Wasn't he so delicious that has put years back into me. And Sam, I will make sure he remembers and when we are in town again I can have another feed. We will find others to feed on and make me strong again. But for now after shopping we will return and I can feed on the cum in your ass. Yes?" "Yes" in a dreamy way yes
Eventually Absulon attained full strength and there were plenty of donors that wanted that certain extra that only he could provide. He is still with me but I know one day he will leave. I just have to hope it is not soon.
Note: The box was 6 inches squared that's 666. An incubus lives off the vital energy of a human until the victim dies. Absulon was feeding but not off of just one person but many. Yew trees are very long lived tree and are found in graveyards as a sign of eternity. In my story the wood had imprisoned the incubus in the box for eternity. The first person it would attack is the one with the key in his hand that unlocked the box.
