William Blake stepped into his father’s study with fury while he adjusted the tie he just put on. “What is the meaning of this Franklin!” He demanded not moving as single step further into the room as the butler closed the door behind him. “You assured us you would host my wedding nothing more. I don’t appreciate being summoned like this.”

Franklin stood from his reading chair and put a book down on the table. “You look dashing,” he complimented William who just scoffed. “I do apologize but this is a matter of great urgency and the real reason why I agreed to pay for and host your wedding. You see your mother didn’t know this as she left before I could even explain it to her. Our family is cursed William and if you do not do as I ask our line ends with you.”

“You summoned me because of a superstitious curse?” William asked in anger as he went to turn around and leave.

“I didn’t believe it myself either when my father told me, but after he took me to the fertility clinic and had our DNA tested I finally believed him. You see we’re both infertile, our entire family line is. The only way for us to have children is with the family jewels.” Franklin desperately explained to his son.

William scoffed at his father’s explanation. “Are you saying you aren’t really my father?” William asked in disbelief and he actually liked the thought of that.

Franklin looked at his son and gave a soft nod. “Technically no….” Franklin begun, “I did conceive you but it’s not my loins you come from. It’s a little hard to explain, come with me.” Franklin stood up from his chair and opened a hidden stairway behind a bookcase and began to descend when he noticed William wasn’t following him. “Alright look I’ll make you a deal, you hear me out and look upon the family jewels with your own eyes, I’ll never bother you again. In fact I will add ten million dollars to your wedding gift for this inconvenience.”

William didn’t want to stay a moment longer but Franklin’s offer was too good to pass up, besides he was a bit curious as to where this secret passage lead. “You’ve got ten minutes,” William informed Franklin who smiled at the response.

They descended down the stairs until it came to a stop in front of a large vault door. Franklin entered the combination and the door opened to a massive room filled with glass displays. William couldn’t see what was in the displays until he had entered the room and was standing right by one.

“This set is mine,” Franklin informed him. “I didn’t want to give them up too early but once your mother left me I was heartbroken and so added them to the collection early.” He then pointed to one of the empty cases. “That one is for yours when the time comes, hopefully you have a long and happy life before then.”

William couldn’t believe what he saw in the case, it was a set of testicles and a penis on a royal pillow, in fact when he looked at the other displays that’s what they all were. They were all very much the same shape and size, only varying in colour, age and whether or not they had been circumcised or not. The age of the genitals ranged from 18 to 100 depending on when they had been added to the collection.

William felt like he was going to vomit. “What fucked up fetish room is this?” He asked as he went to leave once again but the door slammed shut. “Let me out!” He then demanded.

“I’m sorry you said you’d give me 10 minutes so I put the door on a 10 minute time lock, you can’t leave until then,” Franklin informed William. “Now I know this room is a lot to take in but this is our family vault, ever one of our brother’s genitals gets added to the collection at a time of their choosing or death.” Franklin then pulled down his pants and revealed that he didn’t have any dick, just a small hole for his urethra, though that was easily missed William turned from the sight in disgust, not believing he’d even decide to look like that.

“You see William, our family fortune came at a cost, our father made a bargain with a powerful being in exchange for an empire that would last the ages. His wish was granted but at a terrible cost, everyone of his children would become infertile. The witch offered him something to compensate for this though, a form of immortality, not for himself but his genitals. Only once in our lifetime we may equip our father’s genitals and conceive the next son in line after that it gets returned to the vault. This also comes at a cost, the one you see before you, one day or another you will need to add your genitals to the vault. I know it’s not glamorous and quite frankly a little fucked up but whether you know it or not you’ve benefited from another part of this bargain. We do not die young.” Franklin paused for a moment after his explanation, letting it sink in. “Now let me show you our most prized heirloom.”

William remained silent as Franklin guided him down the vault to the largest display case. There it was, displayed on a golden pillow, their father’s genitals still in their prime. “If I had raised you I would’ve informed you of this secret long ago. All you have to do is pull off your genitals and place these against your skin, they will attach as if they were your own. Once you conceive your child they must be returned and you may reclaim yours until it is time to have them join the vault.”

William looked at the proudly displayed genitals and looked at the man he thought was his father. “So these genitals were used to father me, you and everyone else in this twisted family’s line?” William reconfirmed. Franklin nodded in response. “So what happens if I refuse to carry on the line? Then what?”

Franklin looked at William with shock and sorrow, hearing him ask that shook him to his core. He had proudly taken up this mantle like all his brothers before him and now William thought about refusing it. “Then everything this family has built will come crashing down, not just our line but our empire as well, that was the warning given. Thousands would lose their jobs and the economic backlash could crash the global market.” Franklin didn’t mean what he said, he just didn’t want his line to end with William. “As for you personally, you will never be a father, never have any children of your own. That fate was sealed before either of us were born,” Those words he did mean. “I’ll make you another deal. If you take up this burden like our brothers of old I will hand give you the family Empire. I will take what I need for a comfortable lifestyle and the rest is yours to do with as you please.”

William just stood there looking at the penis in the display case and those around him then back at his, this was a fucked up situation, he thought of no way to describe it any differently. His family line was built up on such a strange curse and the thought of his genitals one day being put on display for future generations was twisted beyond all belief. Still he knew his partner he knew she would want a child of her own and he would still be the father as far as the world was concerned. Then there was the offer Franklin had just made, if he inherited the company and all its assets he could start dismantling the company and end this curse with his son’s line.

“Fine, I’ll do it.” William said finally as he reached into his pants and tugged at his penis and testicles, which came off without resistance. Franklin then gestured him to place them in his display case while he removed the glass protection of their father’s genitals. William returned to Franklin, rubbing his bare crotch before Franklin handed over the new set of genitals.

“These must be returned with haste,” Franklin informed William. “They have a 100% fertility rate so you only need to do the deed once. Meet me in the study for when the time comes to return them.”

William attached the new set of genitals to himself and without another word left the vault ready to return to his wedding preparations.
