Tiberius groaned as he reclined his shoulders back into the mountain of plush pillows his upper body was propped up against, his arms folded behind his head, legs stretched out before him, parted at enough of an angle to allow vantage for the woman lying on her belly between his thickly muscled thighs to perform her sensual task. The woman’s plump, ruby red lips were affixed to the tight sack of flesh that held his tesicles, the tip of her tongue pressed into the mass of wrinkled flesh, lazily tracing around one of the ovoid treasures it held compressed beneath the base of his phallus as her lips suckled at it. Her left hand rubbed against his midsection, gently raking carefully manicured nails down the firm musculature of his belly as her other hand held the pillar of flesh she sought to bring to full arousal aloft above her head, secured between thumb and forefinger, the weighty mass of flesh bucking in her grip as her efforts evoked it’s transformative growth.
The girl sighed lustily as her face lifted, her hand sliding down the expanse of shaft to nestle in the hair around it’s base as she gripped it firmly, nuzzling the soft, smooth flesh of her cheek against the firm underside of the oversized monolith of man flesh near its root, her hazel eyes flickering up to meet his gaze as she cooed, the massive organ casting its shadow down across the right side of her face as the left half peeked out from behind it. “Gods, Tiberius, I missed you...I missed him…” Her eyes shifted, casting up as if taking in the scope of the length that extended up past the top of her head, nearly crossing as they focused on the object before them, her lips puckering as she turned her head enough to press a soft kiss against the side of the shaft, the tip of her nose brushing against the skin as she sniffed it, scrutinizing his scent. “...he doesn’t smell of cunt, though, so should I take that to mean I am the first girl you’ve visited since your return to the city?”
Tiberius cracked a lazy grin, rufling the light blond mess of hair atop his head, his head cocking to the side as he considered her, his face drawing as if he were insulted by the unspoken insinuation. “Of course, Versica…”
The girl grinned, her free hand swatting playfully at the length of cock she held secure with it’s twin, correcting his mispronunciation of her name with a slight note of exasperation as if it wasn’t the first time she’d had to correct him. “Ver-IS-ca…”
Tiberius’ grin widened as he corrected himself and continued on. “...Ver-IS-ca...I’m hurt that you would suggest otherwise. You know you’re my favorite girl…in this sector of the city, at least.”
Verisca scoffed, her head shaking in mock disapproval, the dark ringlets of curly hair that framed her face dancing and bobbing with the motion. She gripped his cock now with both hands, squeezing it as if she were threatening to strangle it, the pale, purplish head atop the healthy length of prick that jutted out from above her fists flushing red as her action caused it to fill with blood. “You’re lucky you have such a magnificent dick…” she loosened her grip, the flush fading from the upper half as the natural flow of blood resumed, his prick throbbing in her grasp as she pressed her lips against the bare, veiny length of shaft above her fingers in another quick peck of a kiss. “...if it were any smaller I’d charge you double for your insolence…”
Tiberius smirked, the thick musculature of his upper body flexing, pectorals rippling, as he pressed his head back against the palm of his hands and interlaced fingers, groaning as Verisca trailed kisses up his length and flicked the tip of her tongue across the underside of the head. “Usually you reserve the threats to charge me double for when I’m ramming it deep into your tight little cunt...an improvement, I suppose…”
Verisca shot him a faux stern look from under lowered brow, her head elevated now, the knob at the tip of his cock resting against the soft pillow of her bottom lip. “I reserve the right to price my services as I see fit…” Her upper lip brushed against the patch of sensitive skin that sat just below the head as she spoke, her breath warm against him. “The weight of your purse when you exit my room is subject to my whim…” Her tongue lashed across that sensitive patch of skin a few times. “...if I decide to charge double to service men with such freakishly oversized cocks…” A wet kiss. “...then you’ll pay double. Although perhaps I should charge triple for the likes of you.”
Tiberius cackled, his hands moving out from the back of his head as he sat up, the fingers of his right hand lacing through the curls of the hair above her left ear, his other brushing her hands aside as it gripped the base of his now rock hard phallus. Verisca giggled as she playfully struggled against his grip as he turned her head up towards him. “Or maybe I’ll charge you, instead, eh? Once for every orgasmic cry that this cock tears from your throat while it’s churning around deep in your guts…”. The wrist of the hand holding his cock aloft before her flicked forcefully, the head of his prick colliding with her face as it slapped against her cheek with a dull thwap.
Verisca looked up at him in defiance for a moment, a twinkle in her eyes, before her gaze slowly slid from his to fall to the phallus he held outstretched between them, the head close enough that she needed only to stick out her tongue to brush against it. Her eyes slid slowly up its length, starting from the distinctly bell-like shape of the head, large on its own but overshadowed by the superior girth of the shaft beneath it, to glide up along the expanse of dusky skin, interlaced by a network of sinuous veins that fed this monstrous specimen the blood it needed to fuel its sizable expansion. By the time her gaze landed on the patch of hair around the base she could feel wetness beginning to form along the cleft of her sex, a soft whimper escaping her throat as she felt a flare of heat at her core, her front teeth gently biting down as she chewed her lower lip. Despite a near decade of experience, having had a diverse group of clientele darken her doorstep over the years, rarely had she crossed paths with a phallus prodigious enough to even be comparable in physical dimensions to the one before her now. It didn’t matter that she’d seen it before, that she’d experienced what it felt like inside her even, there was something about it’s exceptional size that awakened a primal hunger deep within her core. “Tibs...let me suck him. Please...I want to taste him…”
Tiberius growled playfully in his throat as he manipulated his prick to wave the head beneath her nose, the earthy scent of the precum that sheened at its tip filling her nostrils as it enticingly swayed back and forth before her. “In a moment...now, spit on it…”
Verisca frowned, whimpering again as she was denied the fulfillment of her lustful desire, even if only for the moment. She bit her bottom lip again as she lifted her hips, a hand sliding between her body and the mattress beneath her, her fingers brushing against her clit. Her eyes remained hungrily fixed on the object of her desire. “Please, Tibs…”
Tiberius slapped the head of his prick against her cheek again, Verisca gasping in shock, her mouth falling slightly agape as the impact roughly jarred her from her near mesmerized state. “I said spit on it, slut.”
Verisca gathered moisture in her mouth, her jaw working a moment, before she leaned down and crudely let the accumulated saliva dribble from her mouth, a fat glob falling to impact against the dark red flared rim around the head, leaving a wet trail in its wake as it slid down its length to pool against his fingers where they gripped along the base. His hand worked up and down a few times, spreading the viscous fluid across the span of the shaft with a wet schlick as the liquid worked between his fingers. Verisca watched in silence, transfixed, her tongue unconsciously licking across her lips like a hungry predator eyeing her next meal.
Tiberius smirked as he eyed her, the hand wrapped in her hair restraining her head in place forcefully, the other once more holding the rigid length of his prick aloft before her face. “Good girl...now…”. He held there a moment, the head mere inches from her lips, close enough she could smell the combined musk of his precum mixed with the scent of fresh saliva. Verisca whimpered.
“...suck.”
She fell upon his cock with ravenous abandon, taking the head between plush lips, stretched thin around the girth of the shaft beneath as she sought to engulf him, her initial foray too eager as the thick head bumped against the back of her throat, triggering a loud, inelegant retch as her entire upper body convulsed, the sound muffled by the sheer amount of meat that filled her mouth. Verisca pulled back, her lips slurping wetly around the head as she suckled at it with a sense of urgency, seeking to satisfy not his needs but her own, to quench the burning desire to worship at the altar of this man’s brutish member that roiled within her. Dainty hands brushed his aside as she seized his prick in a two handed grip, one holding the pillar of flesh steady at the base, the other working the shaft with a twisting up and down stroking motion, working in time with the travel of her lips, spreading the moisture that her mouth transferred to the uppermost section of his cock down the entirety of its length, the entire organ soon gleaming in the low lamp light from her efforts.
Tiberius chuckled, his hand combing through her hair, a mirthful expression on his features as he watched her endeavor to greedily devour and dutifully service his proud organ. “Careful now, girl...take your time. After you finish spit shining this big dick we’re going to see about reacquainting it with that tight little cunt of yours…” Verisca murmured her approval of his plan from around a mouthful of his sex, her efforts redoubled, head bobbing up and down as she pleasured him, the room filled with the occasional wet smacking of lips or the staccato clicking of forcefully applied suction.
Tiberius leaned back into the plush mound of soft pillows behind him, his head tilting back with a gradual sigh of satisfaction, his eyes drifting shut as the sensation provided by Verisca’s attentive mouth threatened to overwhelm his senses.
Gods, she’s good....and she has a nice little body on her. Firm little breasts, tightly sculpted backside…
Tiberius groaned as Verisca’s tongue skillfully swirled around the head, his eyes still closed, the image of the woman’s slight but shapely little buttocks coming to the forefront of his mind’s eye. She was shaking her hips in a sensual sway or dance. Enticing...but he found his mind wandering of its own volition. Dancing...swaying hips...hips that widened, thighs thickening, cheeks swelling, fair skin darkening as the object of his attention morphed into another woman entirely. A woman the polar opposite of the one he currently shared a bed with by almost every description. A pair of hips you could anchor yourself to, a backside so prodigious it’s shape could never hope to be concealed beneath dress or robe, lean trunks for thighs that gave the outward appearance of softness, but, just beneath the surface, he somehow knew there lie a firm musculature that would threaten to squeeze the life from any man lucky enough to find himself wrapped between them. Tiberius groaned again as he considered the thought, Verisca easily forgotten in the moment, this new woman dominating his thoughts as she sensually swayed her hips, the movement mesmerizing him and leaving him spellbound.
Gods...to have a night with a woman like that...
An abrupt knock at the door startled Tiberius and roused him from his dreamlike state as he sat up and turned his upper body towards the disturbance. Verisca, for her part, either hadn’t noticed or couldn’t be bothered to care as she continued her labor of pleasure. The door opened after a moment of pause, a large, older woman wrapped in fine jewelry and silks stepping through the open portal. She looked at the scene playing out before her, pausing a moment, her eyes widening a bit, before she spoke. “Pardon me, good master… but you have a visitor downstairs. He says he needs to speak with you, that it’s a matter of some urgency…”
Tiberius recognized the women, the brothel madame he had arranged payment with before retiring to Verisca’s room on the second floor. He frowned, turning away from her, his hand brushing against Verisca’s cheek encouragingly as he once more watched her work. “Tell them I’m unavailable at the moment...as you can see, there is a master of her trade at work here, and it would be a shame to interrupt her before her task is complete. If they care to wait, I’ll be downstairs in a few hours. Otherwise, tell them they can deliver their message on the morrow. Now…”. Tiberius looked over his shoulder at the woman once more, a stern look darkening his features. “...unless you care to assist her in her task…” His tone lightened a moment as if to suggest he wasn’t entirely opposed to the idea. “...leave us in peace and do not disturb us further.”
The woman roughly cleared her throat, clearly concerned about having to interrupt her rather large, soldierly client. “A thousand pardons, good sir...but the man said you might refuse. He bid me pass along his name, Manius Barrius, and to tell you that ‘the eagle’s wings have been clipped’...he assured me you would understand the meaning of it.”
Tiberius frowned, his shoulders slumping as he let out an exasperated sigh of defeat. “Bugger all...the man has always had an impeccable sense of timing. Very well, I will be downstairs shortly.” Tiberius turned back towards Verisca, who had by now ceased her efforts of her own accord, still holding aloft his hardened prick as she gradually stroked a fist down the shaft as if to keep it primed. “As for you...you just keep yourself wet and ready, I’ll return before you know it.”
Verisca frowned, leaning down to place a parting kiss against the head of his cock. “Very well...but give this Manius Barrius, whoever he is, a swift kick between the thighs for me when you see him, would you?”
Tiberius growled as he made his way down the stairs to the atrium that housed the reception area of the brothel, mumbling beneath his breath as he descended. He spotted Manius, still clad in his travel garb, looking a bit rough around the edges, standing amidst a collection of decorative statues situated against the far wall opposite the front desk where the madam and her guards sat. He made his way over towards him with due haste, the ache in his balls as a result of the coitus interruptus making his gait a bit awkward as he rolled his shoulders, attempting to release some of the tension that gathered there.
Manius squared up with Tiberius as he approached, snapping to attention and performing a crisp salute as he drew nearer. “Greetings, Prefect Attius.”
Tiberius returned the salute, nodding dismissively, annoyance worn openly across his visage. “Centurion Barrius...what could possibly be of such import that you think it worth disturbing my time with the highest paid courtesan in Rome? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get an appointment to see her? She’s booked solid for months...I practically had to offer up my left testicle in order to…”
Manius cut him off tactfully. “It’s concerning the Legatus and his new wife, sir.”
Tiberius frowned, a hand brushing across the front of his hastily donned tunic as he looked around for any bystanders that seemed interested in overhearing their conversation, and having found none, his gaze settled back on Manius. “And what, then, does the old wolf need some honeymoon tips to keep his new bride happy? He's run out of tricks already?”
At the thought of that new bride, the woman whose body, by mere coincidence, so closely resembled the one he had been daydreaming of only minutes earlier, caused a warmth to pulse through his veins.
I’d be happy to please her if need be...after all, she’s too much woman for one man to handle, even a stud like myself has to admit when he’s met his match…
Tiberius shook his head to clear the improper thought. Where in the hells had that come from?
Manius shook his head disapprovingly, clearly perturbed by Tiberius’ attempt at jest, his stern tone drawing Tiberius’ away from the distraction of subconscious thought. “Nothing of the sort, Prefect. I’m afraid the roads proved to be treacherous, and as I said in my original message, the eagle's wings were clipped, if you take my meaning.”
“Message received, Centurion…” Tiberius sighed in resignation, hands pressed against his hips, his gaze lifting to the ceiling. Although this was not some predetermined code that Manius was using, it was easy enough to infer his meaning. There was very little that was subtle about the former First Spear Centurion, nevermind his manner of speaking. At the very least it was quite obvious that his night of lusty endeavors had unceremoniously drawn to an abrupt close. “Just one night...you couldn’t give me one night…” Tiberius said to no one in particular as he turned away, then, looking back at Manius over his shoulder. “Give me a moment to clear my tab and gather my things...you can fill me in on the details on our way over to the stables…”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Marcus stepped out from the warm waters of the heated bath, waving off the servant who made as if to approach him in order to assist with his journey over to the nearby bench that held his fresh change of clothing laid out across the top. “No need...as you were…”
“As you wish, Dominus.”
Marcus shuffled over towards the bench, his shoulders rolling as he worked freshly limbered joints, the nagging ache that had plagued him this morning either mostly resolved from his system or masked by the soothing heat of the water he had just been soaking in. His body, at least, felt somewhat renewed, refreshed by the bath and the morning, and midday, rest he had drank so deeply of. After leaving Gaia in their bedchamber, a grief stricken and anger drunk Marcus had managed to shamble over to his tablinum, the private office he kept in the villa, situated well away from the higher traffic areas of the estate. Once there, he had collapsed onto the couch within, and using the balled up sheet he had taken for a pillow, he rather easily fell into a deep slumber. It was a fitful rest, Marcus occasionally tossing about, finding comfort in the presence of the sheet, of the cloth that still held the memory of their joining within its fibers.
There he lie for most of the day, either in slumber or momentarily stirred from it to toss and turn about, gazing idly off into the darkness of the room, it’s shades drawn to summon that comforting blackness, the only source of light the gentle ambient glow along the top and bottom of the shade where there were slight gaps in the cloth, seeking to clear his troubled mind to allow sleep to once more overtake him.
Marcus found that the heat of the anger that had been stoked in his gut as a result of their squabble had died down the more that time had passed, little more than embers by the time he finally arose from the couch, it’s flames replaced by the cold, dense weight of guilt. Guilt, that he had pushed her away in the most crucial of moments, that when she’d opened herself to him, he’d not only pushed her away, but then kicked her while she was down. Why was he here now, wallowing in his own sense of guilt and remorse, when he could be tracking her down, drawing her to his breast, telling her of how he was a fool, how he’d meant so little of what he’d said, that he’d been vulnerable, defensive...that he was sorry.
Marcus picked up the fresh tunic from atop the bench, a simple garment of a cool, light blue coloring, pulling the clothing on over his head, still cautious as it moved past the wrapping of the bandage on his upper left arm. He stopped a moment, his eyes fixed there, staring distantly at the material, unblinking.
Clearly she cares...enough to be concerned about your wellbeing, at least. Were you concerned about hers? She was wounded herself...did you even bother to ask how she’d received those wounds? Had one of the ambushers attacked her directly? She must have been scared out of her wits! You weren’t the most stable after your first combat either, you old fool...
Marcus paused a moment in the hallway after having left the bathing chambers, standing beside a window, his old, dirty blue wedding tunic held in a grasping fist by his side, his gaze fixed on the sun as it began its descent below the horizon, it’s rays reflected off the water in the distance, gulls cawing as they circled above the beach not far behind the villa. If only he could fix his emotions so, to be so serene as to resemble the calm of the scene outside his window. Even now his subconscious attempted to make excuses for why he should leave, even as a splintered part, perhaps the sensible one, offered counter arguments as to why he should stay. There was only one counter argument it repeated, though, over and over, the answer to every question: She was here. Gaia...his wife, his lover, his love. Desperate as he might be to escape the complex emotions that swirled within, he could no sooner leave her than he could remove his heart from his breast. Now if he could only say as much to her, he might could begin to repair the damage that had been done.
Easier to turn back the passage of the sun across the sky...
Marcus turned away from the window, tossing the dirty tunic he held in hand over his right shoulder, moving down the hallway at a leisurely absentminded stroll, his thoughts consumed by the planning of how he might begin to right his wrongs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mikkos hummed a soft tune beneath his breath as he strolled the halls of his Master’s villa, his arms clasped behind his back, trained eye scanning, looking for any servants who dared tarry too long in corners they thought hidden from his gaze. They were mostly empty, with the household staff busy seeing to the evening tasks.
Rounding a corner, he suddenly came upon Gaia, standing in the hall in a simple but well cut yellow stolla, holding aloft a rabbit, seemingly searching for someone to dispose of the carcass. Perhaps the animal had made its way in unseen. Had she needed to kill it herself, were there no attendants nearby who could see to it’s disposal? Mikkos’ cheeks reddened as his step quickened, closing the distance between them.
“A thousand pardons, Domina, that you would need to perform such a task yourself. Allow me…”
Mikkos took the carcass from her, which she readily offered, and he held it before him by it’s hind legs, taking a moment to examine the creature. There was a clear entry and exit wound on either side of it’s midsection. So...someone or thing had killed it, it hadn’t simply wandered in and died of natural causes while hidden out of sight. And not by blunt force...Mikkos’ gaze rose to meet Gaia’s, a look of understanding washing over his face, a gentle, knowing smile forming on his lips.
“Ahhh...many thanks, Domina...I am just off to take supper, perhaps I shall have the kitchen prepare this instead. It looks healthy enough, perhaps a bird or feral cat drug it in here to save for a rainy day…” Mikkos smiled at her, bowing his head forward ever so slightly. He looked her up and down a moment, then, not appraisingly, but instead as if a caretaker looking after the concerns of those in his charge. Despite her perfectly presentable outward appearance, casual yet elegant, he could see clear signs that tiredness plagued her. And likely she herself could use a meal. Since the events of the previous day she could see in Mikkos’ gaze an added dimension of respect, not merely for her station, deeper, more personal, and there was a warmth to his tone as he addressed her that she had not detected before, back at her father’s villa.
“Shall I have them prepare something for you as well? Would you care to share in the bounty of your found prize?” His pronunciation of the word found evoked the thought that he was being conspiratorial, just a slight change in intonation, but notable. “Or perhaps instead you would prefer a warm bath? A change of bandage? How can I be of service?”
The girl sighed lustily as her face lifted, her hand sliding down the expanse of shaft to nestle in the hair around it’s base as she gripped it firmly, nuzzling the soft, smooth flesh of her cheek against the firm underside of the oversized monolith of man flesh near its root, her hazel eyes flickering up to meet his gaze as she cooed, the massive organ casting its shadow down across the right side of her face as the left half peeked out from behind it. “Gods, Tiberius, I missed you...I missed him…” Her eyes shifted, casting up as if taking in the scope of the length that extended up past the top of her head, nearly crossing as they focused on the object before them, her lips puckering as she turned her head enough to press a soft kiss against the side of the shaft, the tip of her nose brushing against the skin as she sniffed it, scrutinizing his scent. “...he doesn’t smell of cunt, though, so should I take that to mean I am the first girl you’ve visited since your return to the city?”
Tiberius cracked a lazy grin, rufling the light blond mess of hair atop his head, his head cocking to the side as he considered her, his face drawing as if he were insulted by the unspoken insinuation. “Of course, Versica…”
The girl grinned, her free hand swatting playfully at the length of cock she held secure with it’s twin, correcting his mispronunciation of her name with a slight note of exasperation as if it wasn’t the first time she’d had to correct him. “Ver-IS-ca…”
Tiberius’ grin widened as he corrected himself and continued on. “...Ver-IS-ca...I’m hurt that you would suggest otherwise. You know you’re my favorite girl…in this sector of the city, at least.”
Verisca scoffed, her head shaking in mock disapproval, the dark ringlets of curly hair that framed her face dancing and bobbing with the motion. She gripped his cock now with both hands, squeezing it as if she were threatening to strangle it, the pale, purplish head atop the healthy length of prick that jutted out from above her fists flushing red as her action caused it to fill with blood. “You’re lucky you have such a magnificent dick…” she loosened her grip, the flush fading from the upper half as the natural flow of blood resumed, his prick throbbing in her grasp as she pressed her lips against the bare, veiny length of shaft above her fingers in another quick peck of a kiss. “...if it were any smaller I’d charge you double for your insolence…”
Tiberius smirked, the thick musculature of his upper body flexing, pectorals rippling, as he pressed his head back against the palm of his hands and interlaced fingers, groaning as Verisca trailed kisses up his length and flicked the tip of her tongue across the underside of the head. “Usually you reserve the threats to charge me double for when I’m ramming it deep into your tight little cunt...an improvement, I suppose…”
Verisca shot him a faux stern look from under lowered brow, her head elevated now, the knob at the tip of his cock resting against the soft pillow of her bottom lip. “I reserve the right to price my services as I see fit…” Her upper lip brushed against the patch of sensitive skin that sat just below the head as she spoke, her breath warm against him. “The weight of your purse when you exit my room is subject to my whim…” Her tongue lashed across that sensitive patch of skin a few times. “...if I decide to charge double to service men with such freakishly oversized cocks…” A wet kiss. “...then you’ll pay double.

Please...I want to taste him…”
Tiberius growled playfully in his throat as he manipulated his prick to wave the head beneath her nose, the earthy scent of the precum that sheened at its tip filling her nostrils as it enticingly swayed back and forth before her. “In a moment...now, spit on it…”
Verisca frowned, whimpering again as she was denied the fulfillment of her lustful desire, even if only for the moment. She bit her bottom lip again as she lifted her hips, a hand sliding between her body and the mattress beneath her, her fingers brushing against her clit.

He held there a moment, the head mere inches from her lips, close enough she could smell the combined musk of his precum mixed with the scent of fresh saliva. Verisca whimpered.
“...suck.”
She fell upon his cock with ravenous abandon, taking the head between plush lips, stretched thin around the girth of the shaft beneath as she sought to engulf him, her initial foray too eager as the thick head bumped against the back of her throat, triggering a loud, inelegant retch as her entire upper body convulsed, the sound muffled by the sheer amount of meat that filled her mouth.

If they care to wait, I’ll be downstairs in a few hours. Otherwise, tell them they can deliver their message on the morrow. Now…”. Tiberius looked over his shoulder at the woman once more, a stern look darkening his features. “...unless you care to assist her in her task…” His tone lightened a moment as if to suggest he wasn’t entirely opposed to the idea. “...leave us in peace and do not disturb us further.”
The woman roughly cleared her throat, clearly concerned about having to interrupt her rather large, soldierly client. “A thousand pardons, good sir...but the man said you might refuse. He bid me pass along his name, Manius Barrius, and to tell you that ‘the eagle’s wings have been clipped’...he assured me you would understand the meaning of it.”
Tiberius frowned, his shoulders slumping as he let out an exasperated sigh of defeat. “Bugger all...the man has always had an impeccable sense of timing. Very well, I will be downstairs shortly.” Tiberius turned back towards Verisca, who had by now ceased her efforts of her own accord, still holding aloft his hardened prick as she gradually stroked a fist down the shaft as if to keep it primed. “As for you...you just keep yourself wet and ready, I’ll return before you know it.”
Verisca frowned, leaning down to place a parting kiss against the head of his cock. “Very well...but give this Manius Barrius, whoever he is, a swift kick between the thighs for me when you see him, would you?”
Tiberius growled as he made his way down the stairs to the atrium that housed the reception area of the brothel, mumbling beneath his breath as he descended. He spotted Manius, still clad in his travel garb, looking a bit rough around the edges, standing amidst a collection of decorative statues situated against the far wall opposite the front desk where the madam and her guards sat. He made his way over towards him with due haste, the ache in his balls as a result of the coitus interruptus making his gait a bit awkward as he rolled his shoulders, attempting to release some of the tension that gathered there.
Manius squared up with Tiberius as he approached, snapping to attention and performing a crisp salute as he drew nearer. “Greetings, Prefect Attius.”
Tiberius returned the salute, nodding dismissively, annoyance worn openly across his visage. “Centurion Barrius...what could possibly be of such import that you think it worth disturbing my time with the highest paid courtesan in Rome? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get an appointment to see her? She’s booked solid for months...I practically had to offer up my left testicle in order to…”
Manius cut him off tactfully. “It’s concerning the Legatus and his new wife, sir.”
Tiberius frowned, a hand brushing across the front of his hastily donned tunic as he looked around for any bystanders that seemed interested in overhearing their conversation, and having found none, his gaze settled back on Manius. “And what, then, does the old wolf need some honeymoon tips to keep his new bride happy? He's run out of tricks already?”
At the thought of that new bride, the woman whose body, by mere coincidence, so closely resembled the one he had been daydreaming of only minutes earlier, caused a warmth to pulse through his veins.
I’d be happy to please her if need be...after all, she’s too much woman for one man to handle, even a stud like myself has to admit when he’s met his match…
Tiberius shook his head to clear the improper thought. Where in the hells had that come from?
Manius shook his head disapprovingly, clearly perturbed by Tiberius’ attempt at jest, his stern tone drawing Tiberius’ away from the distraction of subconscious thought. “Nothing of the sort, Prefect. I’m afraid the roads proved to be treacherous, and as I said in my original message, the eagle's wings were clipped, if you take my meaning.”
“Message received, Centurion…” Tiberius sighed in resignation, hands pressed against his hips, his gaze lifting to the ceiling. Although this was not some predetermined code that Manius was using, it was easy enough to infer his meaning. There was very little that was subtle about the former First Spear Centurion, nevermind his manner of speaking. At the very least it was quite obvious that his night of lusty endeavors had unceremoniously drawn to an abrupt close. “Just one night...you couldn’t give me one night…” Tiberius said to no one in particular as he turned away, then, looking back at Manius over his shoulder. “Give me a moment to clear my tab and gather my things...you can fill me in on the details on our way over to the stables…”

Marcus stepped out from the warm waters of the heated bath, waving off the servant who made as if to approach him in order to assist with his journey over to the nearby bench that held his fresh change of clothing laid out across the top. “No need...as you were…”
“As you wish, Dominus.”
Marcus shuffled over towards the bench, his shoulders rolling as he worked freshly limbered joints, the nagging ache that had plagued him this morning either mostly resolved from his system or masked by the soothing heat of the water he had just been soaking in. His body, at least, felt somewhat renewed, refreshed by the bath and the morning, and midday, rest he had drank so deeply of. After leaving Gaia in their bedchamber, a grief stricken and anger drunk Marcus had managed to shamble over to his tablinum, the private office he kept in the villa, situated well away from the higher traffic areas of the estate. Once there, he had collapsed onto the couch within, and using the balled up sheet he had taken for a pillow, he rather easily fell into a deep slumber. It was a fitful rest, Marcus occasionally tossing about, finding comfort in the presence of the sheet, of the cloth that still held the memory of their joining within its fibers.
There he lie for most of the day, either in slumber or momentarily stirred from it to toss and turn about, gazing idly off into the darkness of the room, it’s shades drawn to summon that comforting blackness, the only source of light the gentle ambient glow along the top and bottom of the shade where there were slight gaps in the cloth, seeking to clear his troubled mind to allow sleep to once more overtake him.
Marcus found that the heat of the anger that had been stoked in his gut as a result of their squabble had died down the more that time had passed, little more than embers by the time he finally arose from the couch, it’s flames replaced by the cold, dense weight of guilt. Guilt, that he had pushed her away in the most crucial of moments, that when she’d opened herself to him, he’d not only pushed her away, but then kicked her while she was down. Why was he here now, wallowing in his own sense of guilt and remorse, when he could be tracking her down, drawing her to his breast, telling her of how he was a fool, how he’d meant so little of what he’d said, that he’d been vulnerable, defensive...that he was sorry.
Marcus picked up the fresh tunic from atop the bench, a simple garment of a cool, light blue coloring, pulling the clothing on over his head, still cautious as it moved past the wrapping of the bandage on his upper left arm. He stopped a moment, his eyes fixed there, staring distantly at the material, unblinking.
Clearly she cares...enough to be concerned about your wellbeing, at least. Were you concerned about hers? She was wounded herself...did you even bother to ask how she’d received those wounds? Had one of the ambushers attacked her directly? She must have been scared out of her wits! You weren’t the most stable after your first combat either, you old fool...
Marcus paused a moment in the hallway after having left the bathing chambers, standing beside a window, his old, dirty blue wedding tunic held in a grasping fist by his side, his gaze fixed on the sun as it began its descent below the horizon, it’s rays reflected off the water in the distance, gulls cawing as they circled above the beach not far behind the villa. If only he could fix his emotions so, to be so serene as to resemble the calm of the scene outside his window. Even now his subconscious attempted to make excuses for why he should leave, even as a splintered part, perhaps the sensible one, offered counter arguments as to why he should stay. There was only one counter argument it repeated, though, over and over, the answer to every question: She was here. Gaia...his wife, his lover, his love. Desperate as he might be to escape the complex emotions that swirled within, he could no sooner leave her than he could remove his heart from his breast. Now if he could only say as much to her, he might could begin to repair the damage that had been done.
Easier to turn back the passage of the sun across the sky...
Marcus turned away from the window, tossing the dirty tunic he held in hand over his right shoulder, moving down the hallway at a leisurely absentminded stroll, his thoughts consumed by the planning of how he might begin to right his wrongs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mikkos hummed a soft tune beneath his breath as he strolled the halls of his Master’s villa, his arms clasped behind his back, trained eye scanning, looking for any servants who dared tarry too long in corners they thought hidden from his gaze. They were mostly empty, with the household staff busy seeing to the evening tasks.
Rounding a corner, he suddenly came upon Gaia, standing in the hall in a simple but well cut yellow stolla, holding aloft a rabbit, seemingly searching for someone to dispose of the carcass. Perhaps the animal had made its way in unseen. Had she needed to kill it herself, were there no attendants nearby who could see to it’s disposal? Mikkos’ cheeks reddened as his step quickened, closing the distance between them.
“A thousand pardons, Domina, that you would need to perform such a task yourself. Allow me…”
Mikkos took the carcass from her, which she readily offered, and he held it before him by it’s hind legs, taking a moment to examine the creature. There was a clear entry and exit wound on either side of it’s midsection. So...someone or thing had killed it, it hadn’t simply wandered in and died of natural causes while hidden out of sight. And not by blunt force...Mikkos’ gaze rose to meet Gaia’s, a look of understanding washing over his face, a gentle, knowing smile forming on his lips.
“Ahhh...many thanks, Domina...I am just off to take supper, perhaps I shall have the kitchen prepare this instead. It looks healthy enough, perhaps a bird or feral cat drug it in here to save for a rainy day…” Mikkos smiled at her, bowing his head forward ever so slightly. He looked her up and down a moment, then, not appraisingly, but instead as if a caretaker looking after the concerns of those in his charge. Despite her perfectly presentable outward appearance, casual yet elegant, he could see clear signs that tiredness plagued her. And likely she herself could use a meal. Since the events of the previous day she could see in Mikkos’ gaze an added dimension of respect, not merely for her station, deeper, more personal, and there was a warmth to his tone as he addressed her that she had not detected before, back at her father’s villa.
“Shall I have them prepare something for you as well? Would you care to share in the bounty of your found prize?” His pronunciation of the word found evoked the thought that he was being conspiratorial, just a slight change in intonation, but notable. “Or perhaps instead you would prefer a warm bath? A change of bandage? How can I be of service?”
