SRP in ancient Rome...

[Apollo Wilde]

Olokun and Behedti

How long were they going to continue working her like this?

Since nearly the start of this festival, she had been dancing, and fatigue was starting to taint her performance. Sweat trailed down her forehead in golden beads, colored by the fleck across her skin. The slightest stumble, the tangle of brass about her ankles. She was beginning to feel light-headed - the day’s earlier heat hadn’t been kind.

As she landed shakily from a flip, Behedti dashed forward to help steady her. Although his assistance seemed to be no more than another trick, she was thankful to him. As he lightly spun her about, through the haze of the crowd she noted other pale ones, washed out shadows of dancers. Were they to take her place for the later dinner antics? They would need something slower to digest by, for sure…

The announcer, seemingly annoyed by the pair, clapped idly. Steadily, she slowed down, and stood. Her breath came in heaving gasps, shaking her small body thoroughly…but she still found the strength to stand up tall and proud. The sweaty arm of Behedti pressed lightly against her own, and with his presence, she held her head up higher, swallowing.

“The Numidian and her companion…..!” He called, after a quick swig of his wine. An opposite hand lured in the ghost like dancers, with their afflicted and slow movements.

As the pair loped off the main floor, the young man gathered their belongings. Now that their dance was done, they would be able to lay low until this was over….that’s when they got paid.

In the shadows of one of the deserted halls -well, maybe not so deserted; there were two bored looking guards there-, she collapsed, her legs giving out on her. The young man wrapped his arms about her, supporting her for a few moments. Raising a hand, she glanced back at him, slipping into her native tongue.

“I’m all right - I just need to sit down for a few moments. I didn’t think they would ever let me stop….” Anger marked the edges of her voice. They thought of her as some savage animal that could just keep moving and never have to stop or rest. It was disgusting. She’d seen horses treated better than she was this night. The feel of cool air moving across her face prompted her to slowly open her eyes - he was fanning her as best he could with his hands. The poor thing - he was sweating just as much as she was. With a small smile, she eased up onto her elbows, a hand moving to cradle her throbbing head. His black eyes were worried, his hands shook. Opening an eye to glance at him, she gave him another smile.

“I’ll be fine. Really. I just need to sit down….like I’m doing now.”

Sitting by her side, he rested his cheek on her shoulder affectionately. The blank gaze of the guards meant nothing now….Her fingers ran over his nearly bald scalp as she shifted, leaning against one of the pillars. Stretching out her legs, she hoped that the pain in her calves would subside. She had been dancing for a while - much longer than usual….cramping was to be expected from the sudden stop. Oh well - Behedti knew how to get most of the kinks out, anyway. In the dulled roar of the echoing feast, the two remained silent for a while, taking in everything but nothing at the same time….until a slight chuckle came from the boy. Looking over to him, Olokun rose an eyebrow.

“What is it that you find so amusing?”

With his youthful smile, he turned his attention to her, lips curling at the corners as if he was barely concealing more laughter.

“Oh, just the look on that ‘lord’s face when you spoke their language…..”

Eyebrows raised, her lips pursed as she tried to recall the look. As it crossed her mind, she laughed as well, the torchlight flickering off of her abnormally white teeth.

“You’re right.”

Aegus

Time seemed to hang in the air for Aegus. It often creeped along during these sorts of affairs. Unless he was currently involved in one of those sorts of affairs, in which case it moved quite quickly indeed.

He watched the dancers, having taken a short break after her sword handling, the woman had joined the young man and the two of them moved in ways that brought more than dancing to Aegus' thoughts. He cast a look over his wife, trying to think when last it had been since he'd put such thoughts to her. Put such moves to her body and felt it yileding to him from desire and passion as opposed to duty and obigation.

He sighed. "Why are you doing this to me?" she had whispered to him, practically a hiss between bites of his food. And he had no answer. Doing what? There was so many things he could be accused of doing...or not doing...to her.

He feasted off her fingers, thinking what to say or do, and his hand slid from her hip to the flesh of her ass...giving her a slight squeeze and turning her to regard her eyes more directly. Aegus opened his mouth to say something, but then noticed the figures by them.

Invictus had returned with the slavegirl. Kneeling, he presented the cup to Aegus."The drink you requested, My Lord." He nodded to the gladiator. "Thank you, Invictus. My dear? Would you like a drink?" Aegus turned back to Cassandra. "Or anything else?"

 

[Destiny]

Looking at Aegus as he continued to eat the food from my fingers I shivered as he decided to ignore my question, it was typical of him. As his hand slid along her body she hid it well that she didn't flinch from him. His penchant for younger woman given her no illusions he really wanted her. It was all for display on his part and well she knew it too. Her eyes flickered over him and then she turned to look at Invictus and nodded her head she would like more wine. She had had so much of it that by now she was more then a little drunk. But she would not embarass herself or her husband by a drunken fight and she then paused Invictus and shook her head," Nay never mind, I have had enough for this evening." My voice shook a little bit as I sat there and finally looked back to Aegus,"M'Lord could you please escort me home. I am sorry to ask but well the wine was a bit ore then I should have had."

I looked into his eyes hoping he would say yes, but he would more then likely excuse me and let me leave alone as I usually did. I was hoping this would not be one of those times.

 

[Remec]

Aegus

He watched the gladiator begin to pour a fresh glass for Cassandra as she nodded to him, but then his wife stopped Invictus. Saying she'd had enough, she set the cup upon the table and leaned in to Aegus. There was, indeed, a slight quaver to her words, but not the slurring of the drunken.

"M'Lord could you please escort me home. I am sorry to ask but well the wine was a bit more then I should have had."

Aegus began to simply dismiss his wife, purely from force of habit. Lately, he'd been preoccupied with his role as a senator, and she'd not seemed to want more of his company than she was absolutely required to bear. Then he stopped himself midgesture, and nodded.

He let the hand that had been at her hip and backside flow up and bring her hand to his lips. Kissing it, he lowered it once more, but did not release it. "I have made my appearance. It is doubtful Caesar will show for a minor feast as this has shown itself to be, foreign entertainment though there is." He briefly acknowledged the two dancers leaving the stage area for a much deserved break.

"I would be happy to take you home. Are you ready now?" He offered his arm and they turned to go. Aegus glanced back at Invictus. "Fare thee well in the games," he said. "Shall we, Cassandra?"

 

[Destiny]

Climbign to her feet she nodded to Aegus and then produced a gold coin for Invictus and placed it in his hand as she smiled,"Thank you Invictus you were very helpful to me and I appreciate it." She moved away with Aegus as he led her to the exit that would take them out to the litter that would bare her and himself home.

"Thank you m'Lord you have been very kind to take leave the party so that I may go home." She leaned into the man as she spoke and moved beside him slowly her hand coming to rest onhis arm and her head on his shoulder. Almost like a wife in love with her husband. The appearances should be upkept after all.

 

[Remec]

The way home

Outside, Aegus took in deep breaths of the night air. Even though he'd been on the balcony not long before, he felt stifled and closed in by the warmth of the festival's rooms. The burning incense in the firepits and braziers did not help matters. And there was the wine. He was glad they were leaving early if only to avoid having a spectacle develop from too much wine.

He regarded Cassandra as they walked. She leaned into him, he thought it was from having already had too much to drink, but there was something else as well.

"Thank you m'Lord you have been very kind to take leave the party so that I may go home."

He smiled. "It seemed to be what you wanted, and there has been too few times of late where I was able to give you what you wanted." He brushed his hand against her hair and down her cheek before settling her against him once more. He smiled as she laid her head on him.

{I have been rash. Perhaps I should tell her the truth behind the rumours she hears, after all. She may not be of the same mind as her father.} he thought silently. When they reached the litter, he motioned the head slave to get the door, and helped Cassandra inside. Aegus sat beside her and beckoned the carriers to work.

"Take us home." He leaned back, closing the shade to let them ride in peace. He replaced his arm around his wife, hesitantly...unsure if the mood she had seemed to be in was still in effect. {I will set my arm gently like so, and see if she moves within its scope.} Aegus told himself.

 

[Destiny]

As the litter began to move alongthe street heading back to her villa her body moved against her husband. They could recline easily enough in the thing and she was moves against her huband to lay her head on his shoulder.

He smelled like leather and spice and it was a good scent on him. Finally I lifted my head up to look into his own eyes and smiled softly just looking at him. "it has been a little while since you were at the Villa m'Lord. Will you stay the night or will you just leave me at the door?" Her hand moves up and placing it on his chest she continues to look into his eyes.

 

[Remec]

Aegus let his arm drop about Cassandra, allowing her to lean in against his shoulder, and squeezed her close...nuzzling at her hair and breathing in the scent of it. He then realized she was doing the same of him.

She took in his scent as her head laid against him, and Aegus thought for a moment of what he'd been doing or up to since bathing last. {Mostly, I must smell of the festival and the market where I was earlier.} It seemed appealing enough to her and he stopped to worry.

Mostly.

A moment of worry returned as the litter stopped and settled at its destination. "it has been a little while since you were at the Villa m'Lord. Will you stay the night or will you just leave me at the door?" He pondered what to say, and she laid her hand on his chest, meeting his gaze.

He read so many thing in those eyes...so many messages and little recriminations or jealousies or bitterness or disappointment at how things had gone between them...but tonight he read but one thing. Desire...perhaps it was love...perhaps merely longing, but she...Cassandra wanted him to remain with her through the night.
Aegus had almost given up on that aspect of their marriage.

He took her hand from his chest and kissed it. Then he brought it to his shoulder and draped it over to bring her close to him and kiss her cheek. Leaning close to her ear, Aegus whispered, "I would not leave you anywhere...but would take you wherever you wish me to...."

 

[Destiny]

THe shiver that coursed through her body was sofy and ashe brought her closer and whispered into her ear she placed a soft kiss along his lips and she lifted her head once more to lookinto his eyes,"Then please stay with me tonight Aegus." HEr voice was think with her feelings, perhaps tonight things would begin to change for them.

Climbing from the litter she walked along beside Aegus and he slid his arm around her back. The servants were a bit surprised to see the Master with the Mistress of the house and a few of them had a hard time not showing it. They all scrambled to prepare the bathes and the bedroom for the returning couple and moves silently around for them both. No incense burned here it was frgranted by the nightly flowers and the night air. Cassandra had never been one for perfumes that clung to and made one sick.

She lead Aegus to the bathes and smiled," a bath before we retire m'lord?" Her eyes looking up into his own as she slowly pulled away and undid the clasps at her shoulders and let the gown she wore melt down her body to pool at her feet. Cassandra had always been a stroking woman, now in the moon light of the open roofed bathhouse she was ethereal and she waited for her husband's reply?

 

[Remec]

The Bath

They'd moved from the litter into the villa without saying another word. Aegus watched Cassandra as she glid across the floor, catching up to her when she paused to give the amazed servants instructions. He hoped the first and foremost one was to be scarce. Growing up among those of privilege, he knew how those who served knew so many things undreamt of by their masters, and had always been carefully circumspect about what he said or did when they were about.

He slipped his arm around her waist once again as they moved towards the bed chamber. He regarded the room and its furnishings with the look of someone who finds themselves in a place both familiar and new. He hadn't thought it so long since he'd been in the villa. Obviously, it had.

Cassandra didn't react to his stares or the confusion he was going through. She took his hand from her hip and led him into the bathing area. The servants had run the tubs and the entire area smelled of freshly placed flowers. " a bath before we retire m'lord?"

Aegus nodded mutely. Watching as Cassandara unveiled herself for him, the silken robes sliding from her body and displaying the tanned and toned flesh he had missed more than he realized. She turned and regarded him, resplendent in the silvery glow from the moon above them. {She looks like Diana come to earth. Am I worthy of her?} he mused as he stepped to his wife.

He moved in close and gathered Cassandra into his arms, kissing her deeply. His mouth took hers then moved to her throat and edged itself lower and lower upon her body as Aegus knelt before her. HIs hands, caressed her back and hips as they, too, followed down the soft flesh.
Kneeling, Aegus began reexploring the loveliness that was Cassandra's body. He kissed his way over her breasts, tongue coming out to touch upon each hardening nipple, his hands massaging her rear cheeks...fingers brushing lightly along the cleft between them.
"Bathing can wait....don't you think?"

 

[Destiny]

A shiver of delight coursed through her body as Aegus moved against her, at least he still desired her body that was true enough. His hands and mouth along her skin made he tingle all over as she purred and nodded her head that yes the bath's could wait. Her breathing escalated and she parted her legs slightly lifting one leg to rest her knee on his shoulder as he moves to kneel before her. Her head fell back along her shoulders and she reached up and released the mass of jet black hair to cascade down along her lithe frame. Unlike the women of the day Cassandra choose to let her own natural hair grown instead of shaving it and wearing a wig or pieces of slave hair.

Her scent was all her and no perfumes would mar her taste, she was a nature lover and all things natural made her what she was. She truly loved her husband, if only he would realize what he was tossing aside for his little pleasures. Another soft moan escaped her lisp as he slid his mouth along her flesh expertly making her shiver.

 

[Remec]

All thoughts of other things in his life paled and evaporated. Aegus' mind was nowhere near the Senate or Caesar or whether he'd actually been long enough at the festival this evening. Such things were of little consequence to the feeling of soft, warm flesh beneath his touch...the scent of longing and desire arising from the woman before him.

His wife.

He knew arrangements such as the one his family and hers had made were common, if not always the norm. But he also knew she had a mind of her own, and would not have gone through with it without sufficient personal motivation. Could it be that she truly wanted him and loved him? The question came and went; not gone, but hidden behind the emotions running through his blood. Cloaked by the feeling of her sex upon his fingers as she set her knee upon his shoulder and opened herself enough for Aegus to slowly stroke the patch of moist and matted fur between her legs, moving bit by bit further inside the entrance, parting the folds to the warmth of his breath as he followed his fingers' path with his tongue....

He had glanced up and saw Cassandra unleash her hair with a small sigh and a flexing of her arms and back, but now he merely imagined the look on her face as he tasted her. Gingerly, tongue brushing its way back and forth, fingers opening her more, he sighed into her flesh as he let his mouth start to love her...

OOC:

Sorry to break in with an OOC, but I can't locate the OOC thread.

Poganin, thank you for allowing the Vandal gladiator to join the story, but I believe I'll leave it now.

To one and all I hope that you have a great time in Ancient Rome. Enjoy the revelry and let the orgy begin. *s

[Destiny]

A soft gasp escaped Cassandra's lips as she felt her husband's hot breath blow along her sex. Her eyes closed as she leans the one knee onto his shoulder a hand going to his head as he begins to pleasure her with his mouth. Her hips slowly pressing against his face as she whimpers,"Oh yes Aegus...please." Her breathing escalates as she feels her whole body shake from the sensations of his hot tongue parting her lisp and his lips suckling on her pleasure button.

One thing that had always been good between them was the sex. More then good it was beautiful, and the first time he had taken her he had been gentle. She fell in love with him then even though their marriage was arranged. He had made her so happy those first two years of their marriage before everything happened that began to tear at the fabric of their marriage.

 

[Remec]

Oh yes Aegus...please

With a knowing smile, Aegus pulled back from Cassandra's imtimate place. He rose partially up her body, right hand replacing his mouth in caressing and teasing her sex...left arm sliding over her buttocks to her back and bracing her as he laid her gently down upon the floor of the bathing chamber.

He spread her out upon one of the thick fur rugs they used to keep the excess water from flowing over the entire floor and kissed his way up her body, pausing at each breast and thick, beckoning nipple, to kiss her cheek and mouth and whisper to her. "Yes what? What do you want my sweet Cassandra?"

He continued to kiss her face all over while his hand began sliding a pair of fingers in and out of her...the sound they made falling into place with the rhythm of their breathing and the little moans Cassandra made as she searched for words.

 

[Destiny]

Her hands slid along her husband's head as he slowly moved up her body and she was a willing partner in being laid out along the furs. Her body opening to his hands and mouth his presences as she whimpered. The feel of his fingers pressing and pushing into her hot wetness making her unable to talk for a few moments as she lay there. Finally coherent thoughts came to her head as she gasped out,"You Aegus, please I want you to love me...please it has been so long." Her eyes fluttered open and she looks up into your eyes. her own smoldering with her lust.

She fumbles with your cloak and shirts as she tries to undress you in a hurry and she licks her lisp looking up at you her hips rising and falling as well as she moans,"Oh gawd PLEASSE."

 

[Remec]

Aegus laid alongside his wife, still playing with her body...fingers inside of her...as she tried to tell him what she wanted. He smiled at the way her face convulsed with the effort to get words past what her body was trying to just relax and enjoy.

"You Aegus, please I want you to love me...please it has been so long." Cassandra said in a sudden outburst as her eyes sprung open and found his own. Aegus moved above her, but was too slow and his wife began to help him in getting as naked as she was.

Moving between her thighs, he let his manhood brush against Cassandra's slick and parted labia eliciting another cry for him. He sunk his hardness deeply within her, laying himself down against her breasts and torso, kissing at her neck. Moaning and sighing at the sweet feeling of her around him.

"Mmmm...much, much too long...O, Cassandra...mmmm"

 

[Destiny]

Her body was on fire for his touch. Finally as he was naked as she and he climbed over her. Her hands slid along his chest and up along his shoulders. Spreading her thighs her body welcomed her husband thrusts into her tight body. Her hips pressed up against his own.

"Oh Aegus yes, mmm love me aegus please..." Her nails curled around and dug a bit into his shoulder as she moaned his name and met his hips thrust for thrust. His cock so hard and stiff inside her cunt as her walls squeezed his shaft and she returned his movements. Her eyes closed as she arced her body and dug her head back into the furs her hair slowly spilling around her body. Wrapping her legs around his hips now she moaned again and slowly lifted up to sit on his lap and ride him her breasts pressing and rubbing against his chest as she looked down into his eyes,"Yes Aegus, Oh gawd I love you..."

 

[Remec]

Aegus moaned and bucked beneath his wife. Cassandra's cries were louder, but he nodded and grunted is agreement as he tried to get his breathing under control. "I love you too...oh..." he swallowed the extra saliva in his mouth and raised his body from the furs to kiss and suck at and even lightly bite Cassandra's breasts as they swayed over him.

He moved his hands to her hips and helped steady her as she rode him. He did his best to let her set the rhythm and pace, but slowly he began to direct their lovemaking...lifting her and pulling her back down upon his hardness...thrusting up from the floor to meet her body as it moved downwards...moving himself in and out of her faster and faster...

"That's it...love me Cassandra...come with me..."
