Its him...I can't believe he is outside my door! Claudia thought to herself, ruffled at the thought of the handsome gladiator coming to see her. Her husband had been rich, but very portly and in poor condition. She had not lain with a man sense. But this gladiator always fired her blood when she saw him, and haunted her dreams with lurid and vivid images of their legs entwined while their bodies strained together towards release.
"Ccc.. come in" she found herself stuttering like a naive virgin, and she could feel her cheeks redden also in embarrassment.
He quickly entered the room and made his way to her bed. Striding with his long legged grace. He wasn't wearing a shirt or tunic, just his leather skirt which flowed around his muscled thighs. When he arrived at her bed, he handed her a golden apple. She took it, staring at it, she had never seen anything like it, and wondered what she was to do with it.
"Mistress Claudia, I have fought well and good for you now for 3 years and I am undefeated. I have never asked a boon from you in all this time. But now I wish to ask you a request."
Still staring at the apple, she absentmindly asked him, "What is your request Celadus?"
"I wish to court you, and ask your hand in marriage." She glanced up from the apple in surprise, she had no idea he would be proposing something like this!
"The apple is solid gold, made from all the coins you have paid me for my wins, and coin I have earned in bets in the past three years. It is not much as far as wealth compared to what you have on your own, but it is all of value I have to give you. Would you consider my request?"
