Quinn was in that indeterminate state between sleeping and wakefulness but the one thing he was well aware of was Aemilia laying beside him or more correctly half over him, full of soft curves, his hand rested on the curve of one round cheek his fingers laying in the crack dividing the two perfect globes. He was about to throw away all of his plans for the day for another hour, maybe two with the redhaired beauty who lay within reach and could not refuse him, In a moment his plan was dashed as Aemilia sprang to her feet and began a series of stretching exercises that Quinn knew would have him begging for mercy within minutes.
Quinn knew he was being unreasonable in expecting the poor girl to be at his beck and call especially after a long night of attending to his every whim and some that he had never even thought of.
"I suppose that will take up much of your day so do whatever you need to do, I won't need you" He spoke haughtily and turned his back and walked away, clenching his fists, angry at himself.
After a superficial face wash, Quinn asked directions to the best toga store in Rome determined that he would not be treated as an ignorant ex-slave.
At the clothing merchants, Quinn was confused by the different styles, materials and of course the prices, As he was debating over two different items he became aware of being stared at and looked up to see an attractive Roman lady who shook her head and held out an alternative, warily he walked towards her,
"Would this one prove the better value, my lady?"
She gave an enigmatic smile, "Of course, I give value in everything I do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, absolutely everything."
Then she was gone and Quinn asked the merchant if he knew her,
"Not personally, much to my chagrin, if only half of her reputation is true she is a real woman."
Quinn bought the items the mystery woman had pointed out and returned to the villa, as he entered he heard the drum beat for Aemilia's dance and stood watching for a while without making himself known.
