It was blessedly cool for the season and Calista wondered if it might rain later. It had been a mild summer thus far but she knew it was only a matter of time before the rains stopped and the unyielding heat was upon them. It was no matter. Her husband always managed to keep their baths filled and she never lacked for water or wine when she wanted it. His eye for a good fighter kept them in comfort. He had already had children with his first wife and did not bother her about making more. They were still fairly young and she did well by them. No, perhaps she even loved them a little even if they were not hers. She did not want any of her own and the slaves were busy enough as it was with the ones that were already running around the domus. He was also rarely home, which was a bit of a disappointment. She could get so bored without him to play with and he only allowed her to have fun with others if he approved of their caliber or chose them himself. Very dull indeed. At least he would be home tonight with his new gladiators. Well, what would one day be gladiators. Now they were simply unwashed slaves from heathen lands. Not that that didn't have it's charm. The Dominus has arrived, Domina. A small smile spread over her lips as she sat up and tidied her long dark curls and adjusted her stola in the small mirror the slave held for her. Tonight, at least, would be entertaining. She stood and walked to the interior door to meet her husband. Galenus, my love, you have returned. She smiled in greeting, dark eyes twinkling with mischief as she tilted her head for a kiss. ---------------------------------------- Her husband smiled and leaned down to kiss her, pulling her against him as he did so. It had been four months since he had been home and she could tell that he craved her just as much as she did him. Well met, wife. He growled against her lips as his hands slid further down her frame. Calista laughed and spun out of his grasp. You would not show me what you brought me first? She teased, knowing that it would make their reunion that much more fun. He got a little rough when she made him wait and she liked it. He scratched the back of his head and sighed, all too familiar with his wife's tactics. Besides my cock? You ask for much, woman. He grumbled before he held out his hand for her to lead them outside. I have not brought much as I am only back for a short time. He told her then winced when he saw the look on her face. He had known that she would not like the fact that he was leaving almost as soon as he arrived. It will be a shorter absence this time, my love, I assure you. And where does the senator send you now? Perhaps I should have word. She was furious. Who was that man to make her wait? Did he not know who her father was? Yet he constantly kept her husband from her. And what of your children? Nay, I shall have word. I shall have word and word again until Jupiter himself shakes from my wrath. Galenus chuckled and shook his head. Calm yourself, Calista. Our time will come. I have brought you some house slaves only. I had to leave my finer gifts on the boat to be brought to you upon my leave so that you might miss me all that much more when I am gone. He smiled at the glare he got from her and then indicated the house slaves, waiting for her approval. They are not much. She said after looking them over carefully. Do they speak Latin or will they be dumb as well as dull? She knew that she would not get an answer so she moved on to look over the gladiators. You got more toys for yourself than for me. She pouted as she inspected the lot, pausing in front of the dark skinned one, eyebrow raised. And what is this one? Man or beast. She eyed his arms, his abdomen and finally his cock. She felt her husband's arms enfold her before he rested his chin on her shoulder. Man or beast, I will make use of him. He nibbled at her ear and she knew that he was done talking. Aran, take the lot of them to the baths and bring them around the back way. Find the girls something better to wear and see that they are scrubbed well. She giggled as Galenus nibbled at her neck and let him guide her into the house then. She would take a closer look at the slaves once he was gone.
