January, 76 AD
Alexius just needed a break – and a drink! He’d been working for some senator the last few days, apparently the man had fallen out with a gang and wanted extra protection, so Alexius was luckily at the right place at the right time to protect the man. It would seem that the problems had settled now and Alexius would be out tomorrow, looking for something new to do. Tonight though, he got his payment for the job and he had plenty both to pay his landlord, food for him and Lexus… and for a night on the town. Working shady jobs for senators usually paid well!
And who knew what would happen on such a night? It wasn’t so warm though, but sometimes that meant a good chance to find someone to stay warm with. Alexius was hopeful, both when it came to the amount of drink he planned to have and also when it came to someone to keep him company. He just hadn’t found them yet, but the night was young. He wore his regular clothes, just a crimson tunica and short breeches and a belt – and a cloak, of course, to stay warm until he found someone to keep entertained.
He soon enough found himself entering Bacchus’ Cup, which he often just referred to as Bellona’s, since she was an old friend of his and fellow freed gladiator – or gladiatrix, since she was a woman. She greeted him happily when he entered and Alexius found a seat where he could watch the door. This was one of his favorite places to go out in Rome. Soon enough a jar of wine stood before him and he filled the first cup to the rim and downed half of it in one go. Then he leaned back against the wall behind him – what did this night have in store for him? He looked towards the doorway and saw a striking brunette enter the place – and it would appear that she was alone. Alexius smiled, hoping she’d look his way.

He smiled when Teutus agreed that he liked Alexius – that was a good start, then, on many different levels. And maybe he could make Teutus see the interesting part about gladiators. They were much more than slaves who fought for entertainment. They were men (and women) fought for survival. Alexius thought that if he had not back then hoped to someday meet his sister again and return to Germania, he might not have lived. But he had the hope and that kept him going. Teutus pointed out that his father was more interested in the gladiators’ looks than anything else.
“Of course he is. And I can’t say I disagree when it comes to their… looks. But gladiators are much more than that.” Alexius explained. He just wanted to somehow make Teutus feel better and wasn’t sure if gladiators were it, but you never knew. Alexius liked to help people and bring joy to them somehow and he liked Teutus. He had to do something. The other wondered how far away Alexius’ old ludus was.
“It’s not so far.” He said, “I have friends in the ludii too, today. Old comrades and new sparring partners.” And more, he thought to himself. He ought to pay Annis a visit soon, and Thessala. Hopefully they were slowly feeling better after the earthquake, both of them. He’d been at the ludus during the earthquake, after all, and losing some of their friends had been hard on both. Right now though, he was with Teutus. He looked at the younger man next to him, "Tell me what you do know about gladiators, other than that your father likes them."

How did one woman, short as she was, make him feel so amazing? Alexius might never understand why. To some it might seem like he was the one out there, wanting sex and pleasure, but really it was them, giving it to him, taking it from him – but they still had no idea which power they held over him. Think if they knew! But he couldn’t think about that right now, only about how it felt like he went deeper, when she wrapped her legs around him and she even arched up against him, moaning against his neck while he moved, giving her all that he could and then some.
His one hand held him up on the bed next to her and the other he used to touch her, feeling her body, keeping her as close as he possibly could. His lips found her bare skin, caressing her while also making love to her. Because that’s what he was doing, at least right now. Right now, no one else in the world mattered more to him, than she did. He felt her eyes on him though and gave her a smile, after she gave him a heated and quick kiss. It was then he felt her hand on his chest, pushing against him. She wanted him to move.
Alexius slid an arm underneath her to keep her there, while he gently rolled them over, so she’d be on top. She didn’t need to speak. He rested his head on the simple pillow, looking up at the beauty now above him. His hands were free now, free to roam her body and her curves, “You’re so… divine Charis…” Alexius said and then grinned, “… and it’s your turn. Take me.”

Alexius didn't feel very drunk, maybe a little, but not as much as Teutus here. Then again, Teutus seemed to be somewhat skinny thing compared to Alexius, who was tall and strong. He'd take good care of Teutus and make sure he didn't get into trouble. Teutus said he didn't know about good ideas and Alexius was welcome to take him to watch the gladiators. Then he went on about his favorite parts of Rome, but didn't really say which was his favorite. Although to Alexius, it sounded like he'd seen a lot of the city. And his father liked gladiators, but he didn't. Alexius arched a brow with a grin, when Teutus suggested Alexius should change his mind.
"Maybe I can." Alexius said, "You know why I keep returning to the arena... and the ludii to watch them train? It used to be my life." Alexius explained, he hadn't shared this much with Teutus before, after all, "Anyway, you seem to like me, so maybe gladiators are not so bad after all." He said with a smile, although at the same time, he wondered if it really was a good idea to go the arena, if it wasn't something Teutus liked a lot. He didn't seem fond of his father and what his father liked, so maybe not?
"But if you'd rather not go there, we can do something else. We could also just buy that jug of wine and find someplace quiet to drink it, if you'd prefer?" It wasn't very late in the day, maybe one of the gardens in Rome would be a nice place to relax with wine and a new friend... "I think that's what we're doing."

It might be good to make some conversation with Deianira while they were walking, so she could think about something else and maybe relax a little. He didn't want her to feel unsafe with him and he was not afraid - and she seemed to be a very kind, young woman, so why would he not want to keep her safe from maniacs? Really it seemed as if he was no longer only helping Didia. If he could find the crazy man who cut and scared Didia, he'd also help Deia here. And maybe many others in Rome. Gods, how far did this guy get around? It was crazy to think that some people just wanted to hurt others... for no other reason than their own enjoyment.
Alexius wondered how a sweet girl like Deia ended up in a brothel like the Elysium, but she seemed confused, wondering what he meant. And then she said she'd been born in a brothel and it was all she ever knew. Gods, the world was so unfair sometimes! If he was smarter and not a simple freedman, he might try and talk to someone, make the world a better place for people like Deia and other slaves, but he wasn't. Deianira even saw it - that he was a fighter, since she asked.
"I am... it's all I've ever known, or almost. I'm sorry to hear your life has been like that, Deianira. And I didn't mean to offend you, it's just... the Elysium doesn't exactly have the best reputation in Rome." Alexius said, hoping he didn't offend her by saying that. She probably knew anyway, "Have you ever thought about saving some coin, to buy your freedom someday?"

The sounds of pleasure escaping her lips did nothing to dim his desire for her. Quite the opposite. Alexius loved such sounds, he loved knowing that he made someone else feel so good that there was no way to they could stay quiet. They had to let it out. And right now, he was doing it to Charis. She felt so good already. Her breast soft and firm at the same time, probably because she was still feeding her son at home. He didn’t mind that at all, it just made her chest so much more appealing actually. And her body, so warm, writing underneath him, longing for him.
And her hand around his manhood, moving… it was almost more than he could take, it felt so good and she returned the hard kiss he gave to her, while he asked her if she wanted him now, because then she would have him! The night had only just begun and Alexius had plenty of stamina for these things… he could do it again and again. Especially with someone as sexy as Charis was underneath him! She said she wanted him, she spoke through her breath and then she moved her hand from him. He let out a sigh of surprise, missing her hand, but then she was pulling him closer against her. With his legs he gently spread hers wider.
“Wrap yourself around me…” Alexius said against her lips and slid a hand underneath her bottom to ease her more up against him. Alexius wanted her to feel all of him and in his experience, that would make a good start. He didn’t need her to guide him much more, he easily found his way, trying to be careful for the first few thrusts at least. Slowly he let himself fill her up, sighing again by the feeling of her… and then he paused, looking at her to make sure he wasn’t hurting her – he didn’t know when she last slept with someone, after all. If she seemed to be alright, he’d begin moving.

Poor Teutus seemed determined to not seem very happy and Alexius was of course determined to change that. Or at least make Teutus less unhappy. Distract him somehow. There were a number of ways to distract people and first he thought he’d take Teutus out for a day and night on the town. It wasn’t even dark yet though, so there was plenty of time left. For now, he said he’d just follow Alexius.
“Well do you think it’s a good idea? I am open to suggestions.” More than Teutus knew, probably! Once outside the taverna, Alexius tried to make some conversation to get to know Teutus better and the other shared he’d lived here most of his life except for the summers and then mused about the city being pretty big.
“Yes, it is a pretty big city. The largest I’ve seen too. I think I know most of it by now. I’ve been living here most of my life too, after all.” And he got around for all kinds of reasons. Employers, friends, former contacts, lovers, everything. He knew people from all layers of society and if they were worth knowing and keeping as friends, well he stayed in touch the best he could… “What’s your favorite part of Rome then?” Alexius continued to wonder.

Just the sounds of her feeling the pleasure and joy he gave her was enough to make him want to fuck her good and hard, but not yet, because she wanted him to take his time. On the other hand, she did want him to worship her and what better way to worship a woman, than by showing her just how badly you wanted to please her – and yourself at the same time? But he could fight the urge to have her right now. Alexius didn’t lose his virginity yesterday, far from it, and he had sex frequently enough to not be too needy when it happened. He was instead able to take his time with his Charis, if that’s what she wanted… and it was. She said as much.
When his hand reached between her thighs, she arched up against him and he felt her hand in his hair and let out a little sound himself – it didn’t feel too bad at all to have her control him like this. She was trembling and writhing and when he looked at her, her eyes were shut hard, as if she fought to control what she felt. But she shouldn’t have to. She should just let it go… let it go all go and be as loud as she felt like, because it didn’t matter.
Then he felt her hand reach down his body and let out a deep sigh when she wrapped her hand around him, "Gods, Charis..." Words escaped his lips, everything about this felt good, now her hand too! He felt he was already steaming with lust and they’d barely begun! Alexius looked up at her and moved up to her lips again, kissing her heatedly, grinding his manhood against her hand and his own hand against her most sensitive, intimate part, “Tell me…” He said breathlessly when he broke the kiss briefly, “Do you want me now?” Because that’s what her hand at his member told him, but as mentioned, Charis was a mystery and he didn’t want to do anything she wasn’t ready for.

Being asked to treat a woman like a queen and worship her and give her all the pleasure he could… well was there anything better to do, than just those things? Women were there to be worshipped, they made him feel so amazing and so satisfied and so fascinated and he just couldn’t help it. And it didn’t matter that they were mysteries, all of them. They were still gorgeous and right now, there were no one else but Charis in his world, that he wanted to worship. They kissed again and soon he had them both positioned right on the bed, so she could relax and get comfortable and he could get comfortable pleasing her!
Charis was almost naked now. Her body still youthful and pretty, her breasts ripe because she still had a small child and her skin was warm and perfect. In order to please her properly though, he had to get the rest off of her. She laughed when he wanted to remove her last bit of clothing, but then she arched her hips to let him do the job. It was easy and soon her subligar landed on the floor too. Alexius wasn’t disappointed - but for her sake, he had to be a little more patient. He could tell from her expression, that she wasn’t used to this situation. He bet her master usually ordered her to undress and just flop onto her back instead of doing what Alexius did… asking her, helping her, being attentive. Well he wasn’t her master. She was his, tonight.
He watched her shift and smiled when she touched his chest. She could touch all she wanted! Then he leaned down to first focus on her breasts once more, with hands, lips and tongue, until his one hand slid further down and between her legs to touch her there too. From his position he looked up at her, just to check how she was doing – if she seemed to like what he did or what. In any case, it would let him know what to do next.

Charis naturally came with him, while he led her to his bed, her hands around his arm, as if she needed to be close to him and touching him. Alexius briefly remembered that she was much younger than he and not half as experienced in pleasure as he was. Age usually didn’t really matter to Alexius – if he wanted someone and they wanted him, and they weren’t young enough for it to be weird (as young as his son, that would be weird)… he didn’t see why two such people shouldn’t share pleasure, if that’s what they wanted. So he didn't consider it much and in this case, it was soon forgotten again too.
Alexius sat down and Charis stood in front of him with a smile on her lips that made him curious. What did she have in mind? But he didn’t know. Women were a mystery and some even remained that after he slept with them. Charis was a huge mystery! She seemed to think it over, while touching him and Alexius waited, leaning into her touch and smiling when she touched his strong arms. He tilted his head when she began speaking, but then she chose not to anyway. Instead she acted, and he liked that. When it came to sex and pleasure, showing was often much better – and easier - than telling! Soon he was on his back and she was above him. Alexius reached out to touch her, running his hands down over the sides of her body and returning her kiss. Then came her orders.
“Very well… my Queen… as you command.” Alexius said with a grin and returned her kiss again. This time he pulled her closer against her body, feeling her breasts against his chest and her body against his. It felt so good and so perfect! Alexius was plenty turned on already, but she had ordered him to not rush it, so he wouldn't. While she was there, he skillfully removed her strophium to unleash her lovely breasts. Then he rolled them over, so she’d be on her back instead and took a few moments to adjust, so she could rest against the cushions at one end of the bed. Alexius sat for a moment between her legs, looking at her, “I know I told you already, but you do look amazing!” He then said and ran his hands down over the front side of her body, taking his time to caress her breasts and then his hands met her subligar and tugged at it. “This needs to go… if I’m to worship you properly, I must do it to all of you, now.” Since she was already on her back, he’d need a hand or two with getting it off properly, unless she wanted it torn, of course…

Just One Night [M]
Started by Charis ·
December 18th, 75AD
Charis did not look as nice as she had when she had left the domus. The walk across the city with its riotous crowds for the second day of Saturnalia, only to be turned away at the door and directed to an insula not a fifteen minute walk from her starting point had left her flustered and tired. Still! She was out, and even with the jostling crowds she felt relaxed.
She had celebrated the first night of the festival in the domus as was traditional with a meal and that awkward role-swap, and she had tried to ignore the feelings of dread it had brought up. She had conceived her son - she was sure of it - exactly a year ago yesterday and she had spent the evening tense and worried that she'd be summoned in for a repeat, but it hadn't happened. Actually, in the past two months - since the midwife had assured her she had healed and was ready for...life (as she so delicately put it) Tertius hadn't called for her. Maybe he had lost interest, since she had his son? She could only hope (perhaps naively). But then again, they were getting on better and he was being kinder. Maybe things were looking up?
Regardless, the night had passed without incident but given it was a days-long festival she had managed to persuade her dominus to let her out for two of the subsequent evenings. The first was to visit 'Aia' and attend a show, the second would be spent with Cynane - two days from now. How or why Tertius was so generous, she didn't know, but she wasn't complaining. After a few sad goodbyes to her son - dozing in Rhoda's arms, she had left the domus and set off into the night - the first time she'd been out alone in months. She'd worn a plain and serviceable tunica but had done her hair in pretty braids with a few loose strands to frame her face. She felt almost entirely like her old safe - tired more easily, but otherwise returned to her figure and moods as before. She felt at peace. And she wanted to celebrate that feeling.
She finally drew to the exterior of the insula, breathless, with flushed cheeks. It had been over two hours since she had initially set off and her throat felt scratchy and dry from lack of drink, and a chill had seeped into her bones (even she could admit Rome got cold in the winter)! Trying to tidy herself up as she climbed up the stairs, her legs feeling like lead, until she finally drew to the door which she was informed, belonged to her friend. She knocked twice and stood back. She swore to the Gods that if he wasn't home after all of this effort...!

Two freedmen walk into a bar
Started by Teutus Quinctilius Varus ·
31st August 75 after
Teutus hadn't been able to face staying to see any more after Tertius had picked Charis' baby up and given him a name, and a legitimacy that Teutus would never have.
He had wandered Rome for a while before finding himself outside a popina on the Via Lata. He had enough money on him for a drink or several. He wasn't about to drink himself senseless, but he definitely didn't want to stay sober. He could face up to his future later on, but right now he was hurting too badly.
"I'll take a jug, thanks," he said to the proprietor, and sighed,shifting up a bit so as to make room for someone else to order as well.

Spoke Just Like a Baroness
Started by Lucius Antonius Alexius ·
Early September, 75 AD
Alexius had been talking to people. Well, he always talked to people and met people and had good times with people, but he was on a mission now. A certain and very important job, because a friend of his had been attacked and he had to do something about it. Didia must have been so afraid, he thought, when that sick fucker cut her and she had to go to Theo for help and then asked Alexius to help her look for the guy. And of course he'd help her! She was his neighbor and friend and he hated to see anyone he liked, harmed. It actually felt good, for once, to know you did something that really mattered to someone. And now, that’s exactly what he did.
Galla, one of his lovers, suggested he went to the lower classes and the alleys and brothels to look for the attacker. And so he went to the first on his mind, the lovely Lucilla, who lived up on the top floor of the insula, because she knew people like that. But she said she doubted any guys like that went to the Venus. She had not heard about any men with knives cutting up anyone for fun there. But maybe at Elysium? People with sick tendencies tended to go there, she said. That brothel-owner felt no remorse and all he thought about was earning coin. The whores there got beaten up and worse and nobody cared. He'd gone out, asked around and some days later, he knew that Elysium had to be the place to go to.
So that’s where he went. If Didia’s attacker ever went to a brothel, that would be the place! He felt weird though, approaching the place. Alexius had never once paid for sex, not directly anyway. Paying to meet a gladiatrix because she fought well, and said gladiatrix then deciding she liked him enough to have him, that was different in his eyes. And now he stood in front of the Elysium, a poorly kept building, matching its inhabitants, he guessed. Poor girls and guys. But he wasn’t here for sex, at least. He was here for information.
Alexius entered the house, coming into the bar-like room on the ground level, where men (and some women) met whores who’d let them do just about anything. He felt… almost dirty, walking in here. He didn't like the idea of owning other people and then selling them to the highest bidder for one night or one release only. Some of them could be used many times in the same night. It was disgusting. As a gladiator, he'd been prostituted too. He knew what it was like. It was not always a fun business and especially not in a place like this. He inhaled a breath and ran a hand through his hair while his eyes adjusted to the light.

After Cena
Started by Lucius Antonius Alexius ·
August, 75 AD - the evening of Tricky Timing
Alexius was ready. He’d not been working much today… well not officially anyway. He did not bring home any extra coin for him and Lexus. Instead he’d lurked around the marketplace to keep an eye out for Didia, as well as having asked people about barbers and other people who’d carry around knives and flasks with scented oils. A slave from one of the brothels said there were girls at their brothel who were scared of this one patron, who always wanted to see blood before he took in their bodies to get release. But when Alexius asked the name of the brothel, they didn’t want to talk. As if they were scared. It wasn’t at all easy, this mystery!
In the evening he had a simple meal he brought back home to the insula and he told Lexus this morning he might not be home until it was dark out. Lexus wasn’t home yet while Alexius sat at his table, downing a bit of wine – a quite common thing for him to do – while he waited for Didia to show up. He was already dressed for the occasion, because when was he not? Short breeches and a thigh-long tunica and a belt that could easily be removed, so you could move easier. He wore his good boot-like sandals and had, just in case, also hidden a blade down a special sheath in said boot. Just in case.
At last there was a knock on the door in the otherwise silent flat and Alexius jumped up to answer it, expecting to find Didia outside, also ready to learn a bit about self-defense in Rome.

The perfect wingman
Started by Artemon ·
Artemon was feeling down for the umpteenth time that week. Things were not looking up at all. As he carried an amphora full of water up the stairs, balancing it easily over his shoulder, he ran the maths in his head once more. Numbers weren't his strong suit, but even a bad student like him knew that unless his luck changed - or Iophon's, for that matter -, keeping a roof over their heads would be no easy feat.
His thoughts quickly strayed to the topic of alternate lodging and then to his attractive neighbour Lucilla. She was so pretty and had such nice skin... hard to believe she was a laundress, her hands were never swollen and wrinkly! She must clearly use quality products and be paid well for them, since she could afford a better place than him and Iophon. If only she would give him the time of day...
Lost in his daydream, Artemon almost crashed into one of his neighbours that was going down the stairs, and after a few seconds of juggling and cursing the amphora was safely balanced between his shoulder and head again. "Sorry Alexius, I was very deep in thought," Artemon apologised to his downstairs neighbour. The man had always been friendly, so maybe he wouldn't be angry at the near-collision.
Wait a minute. Alexius was just the right person to ask! He was often in good-looking company. Looking at Alexius with big hopeful eyes, Artemon put a hand on the bodyguard's arm to stop him. "Actually, you're just the person I needed to see. I want your opinion. And your help," he added in a low conspiratorial tone. "What do you think of Lucilla who lives upstairs?"

Tricky Timing
Started by Lucius Antonius Alexius ·
August, 75AD – the morning after One Night in Rome and A Little Help
Had it been a late night last night? Possibly. Not that Alexius ever knew what time it was, but he knew that some mornings he was better rested than others. Funny though, the mornings when he was not quite rested were also the mornings where he felt most satisfied. Possibly because he had woken up next to someone gorgeous and lovely and that made him feel good. This morning was no different from so many others, in that regard. So far though, he was well asleep in his own bed with an arm around another warm body. Behind another curtain in the other end of the small insula was Lexus, sleeping too. It was warm and quiet.
Then there was a knocking on the door and being a former gladiator had turned Alexius into a light sleeper, when it came to such things. He woke up and sat up. There was another careful knock on the door. He looked towards the small window and could see the sun shining outside. Alright so it wasn’t night, at least. He reached for his tunica, dropped on the floor near the bed and dragged it over his head. Who in the name of Hades was knocking on their door while everyone were still sleeping? He cast a glance to the bed, before leaving it and slipping around the curtain blocking the view from his bed. There were no doors in this insula, after all.
Soon enough he was at the door and opened it, although slowly and only enough to see who was outside. And that caught him by surprise! “Didia…” He said, looking at her, something was definitely off here. It was a bit awkward with the timing though, with both Lexus and his one-night-stand sleeping inside... “Are you alright?”

1st July 75AD
Didia thanked every single God in the sky this morning that there hadn't been more damage. Rumours floated through the streets that insulae all over the city had collapsed or had been part demolished by the earthquake that had caused the family to cower under the small table they used for meals. That was not to say the block was fine; great cracks spread across its exterior, paint and plaster and a thin veil of dust covered every inch of its surface and those on the lower levels had to now endure the nerve wracking creaks and groans as the building protested at still standing.
Up on the fourth floor, things were in better shape thanks in part to Didia's fastidiousness. Since they were so high up there had been no time to take shelter outside, and it had meant that when the shaking finally subsided she could set out immediately to setting the world to rights and making their cramped little home hospitable again. It was now late morning and having dusted, swept and rearranged within the home itself - she now stood on the landing shared with neighbours, dusting a great swathe of broken plaster and detritus into neat little piles to be tossed off the balcony at a later date, city rules be damned - she wasn't going to lug it down four flights of stairs.
She knew most people in the building by virtue of having lived here for well over half her life, but occasionally new faces joined the rabble of freedmen and plebs, and her next door neighbour was one of them. She'd met the boy that morning - nervous and flustered after the earthquake as she gingerly inquired after his welfare, but had yet to meet the man she said was his father. Fate, therefore, was fortuitous this morning as a man - a good head and a half taller than her pushed down the corridor coming straight towards the door she was presently sweeping outside of. She blinked up with an arched brow, but a warm smile on her lips. So this was her neighbour.
"I'm glad you're safe," She commented lightly and cast her eyes back down as she resumed her sweeping, "Your son was worried about you. Alexius, I presume?"

Move Quick, You Might Avoid Damnation
Started by Echo ·
June 30th - The Earthquake!
It started early in the morning, when the sun had just started to peek over the horizon. Curled around her injured arm, Annis slept fitfully, her dreams filled with murky images of Britannia. The island in her dream began to tremor, shaking with great magnitude. Suddenly, she awoke to the sound of someone screaming, “Earthquake!”
They had all felt the tremors the past few weeks, but Annis hadn’t been too concerned about it. Until today, that was. Alexius was here; after another enjoyable night, the pair had fallen asleep. Annis clumsily got out of the bed and shook him awake. “Get up, Alexius, earthquake! We need to get out!” The young woman then rushed outside, knocking on doors as she went to warn others of the danger. The gods were angry today.

It had been a few weeks since the earthquake that shattered Rome, although he had heard that other parts of the nearby country had been hit far worse than the city. Still there was rubble here and there and some buildings, that had been too old or too badly built, had crumbled. Luckily not the little insula he shared with his son! Lexus had been fine the day after, it seemed, although a bit shaken. Alexius hadn’t even been at home when it hit, he’d been at the ludus with an arm wrapped around the divine body that was Annis. As soon as he was able, he’d returned to his son and they had talked things through and went out to help where they could in the city.
Now that was a few weeks ago though and people had worked together to rebuild what was broken. Life went on in Rome, as it always had and always would in this eternal city. And he had returned to the ludus more than once to help out there too. Not today though; instead he went to visit one of his most familiar thermae, the one that was near the ludus and in the same region. The bath too had suffered some damage, but most of it was working once more and he thanked the gods for that.
He hadn’t thought much about what happened here so many weeks ago, when he met the handsome young Florus. They hadn’t met here, actually, but he had smiled at Florus for the first time and then caught him to share a drink. Sadly, after Alexius had dared to touch Florus’ hand, the youth more or less bolted out. He wasn’t very experienced and even still a virgin. Pity with that, Alexius would have loved to teach him a thing or two about pleasure. Luckily, there were plenty of fish in the water in Rome and Alexius wasn’t bored or unsatisfied.
Now he was back at the thermae, going through the less damaged baths and finished with a nice massage. After this he returned to the changing room and put his tunica back on – in the summer there was no reason to wear breeches, it was far too hot in Rome this time of the year. As he strapped the leather belt around his waist, another person entered the changing room from the baths and Alexius looked up at him briefly… and then looked again at the very handsome and very naked youth over there. What a sight to behold!
“Florus!” He exclaimed with a grin, recalling how they’d talked about drinking together again sometime, “How good to see you again.”
