Callum is apprenticed to one of the most powerful wizards in the land. He cooks and cleans, plus provides “stress relief” for his master when needed. Callum especially likes the stress relief duty, but so far, he hasn’t learned to do any magic himself. When the wizard gets busy with an especially difficult project, he has little time for Callum, and things get even worse when the Wizard calls in another apprentice.
This erotic fantasy is set in a typical medieval-styled fantasy world where magic is real. Of course, the wizard lives in an isolated tower with no other servants. The rather cliché setting means very little time is spent setting the scene before things get down and dirty.
This short tale is told entirely from Callum’s point of view. He’s a bit of an innocent in the ways of the world, although he does seem to have firm ideas regarding his sexuality even before he becomes the wizard’s apprentice. It also seems that Callum might be a few tomatoes short of a salad, in that he believes he is the sorcerer's apprentice rather than just a servant, but he still feels like a sweet young man.
The only other two characters in the story are the wizard and the apprentice he brings in, Rin. Neither of them are developed to any degree. We only know them through their interactions with Callum, which are almost always sexual encounters.
“The Wizard's Apprentice” is available from Smashwords.
