"No, my boy, go to bed I've taken your entire day and most of your night. I should start making my way home...."

"Father, you can always spend the night. I fear what would happen to you on the streets this late at night.We have plenty of room. I'm just teasing I know you two are working hard on business. And we greatly appreciate your help", but I still wanted Maximus to come to bed. My father could have him the majority of tomorrow.

"Marcus, if we call it a night now and we can start bright and early tomorrow".

"Brilliant plan. You can meet some of the investments before the rush of day takes over", with that settled, I led father to the guest room two doors down to one of the grand suites. It was smaller than his normal accommodations but he didn't seem to mind. Once he was comfortable I made a beeline for our bedroom. And not a moment too soon as I stepped through the door to see Maximus undressing. Before I just threw myself at his feet I asked,"Would you like a drink?"

"No thank you, my love. I've had too many with your father", he said fully naked before me. "I'm exhausted and this is just the beginning".

I crossed the room and stepped into Maximus's arms as he held me by my waist,"Rest, I see everything you're doing for us. And it makes me love you more. Even if I have to share you with your second wife".

"I barely have time for the first. Add another and there won't be enough hours in the day", he chuckled rubbing his nose against mine.

"Come to bed. I'll give you a massage".

"Naked?"

"For your viewing pleasure", I said letting my nightgown fall off of my body.

With a delicious growl, Maximus picked me up by my ass and laid me down on the bed. There's nothing sexier than the look of lust in his eyes for me. His mouth covered mine with delicious kisses, and he worked his way down to my breast running his tongue over my hardening nipples. "My cock has missed its home".

I opened my legs wide desperately wanting him,"I gladly welcome you home".

And I'm sure my promise would lead to tantric lovemaking. But as soon as Maximus got comfortable in between my breasts he fell asleep awkwardly with one of my nipples still in his mouth.

O my love.

It's been a very long day for you.

Maximus started to snore as I rolled from underneath him. I was careful not to wake him up. Once I tucked Maximus into bed I kissed his forehead and let him get the much needed sleep his body demanded.

"I love you. Sleep well", I said over whelmed with love. I had everything I ever wanted. A man who loves, provides and adores me, a beautiful house my family close by and freedom to be...me.

Maximus was safe in the house That seemed to have a million repairs to occupy his time. If I didn't know any better I would say Caesar didn't even know we were back in Rome. I knew it was foolish to think Caesar wouldn't eventually pop up again. But I wanted to try our life here in Rome first honestly before we just abandon everything. But as I settled down for bed I looked over to Maximus sound asleep. I would rather have a lifetime of nights like this then have Caesar take the man I love. If it comes to leaving, I will go and find fulfillment in new pursuits, new goals and new outlooks on what success looks like.

I climbed out of bed and redressed. I needed a drink. Because first thing tomorrow morning I would tell Maximus we didn't have to stay in Rome. He didn't have to work himself to death just because I wanted a fantasy.

I made my way down to the kitchen expecting to see no one in the small space only to see Valentina sitting in the corner at a small circular table as a pot of soup cooked over the fire,"O Neptune!"
