Suddenly, a cloth came over her mouth and nose. Strong arms trapped her arms at her sides. As she fought to free herself, a strange smell assaulted her senses, and the world got blurry.
And then, everything went dark.
Chapter Three
Lana awoke blinking slowly. Her head spun and confusion filled her mind. She was lying on her side on soft pillows.
She tried to speak, before realizing something covered her mouth. Pulling at her arms, terror swallowed her. Something tied her wrists and ankles. She couldn’t remove the gag in her mouth, because she was tied up.
Moving her head slowly, she glanced around herself. She was in some kind of massive hole. Only, instead of dirt, the bottom of it was lined with pillows and the sides with stones.
Lifting her head, she looked behind her. This can’t be! Lining the walls on the back half of the circular room, Luscinus’ twelve gladiators stood. Naked. Their hands behind their backs.
What in the world?
“She’s awake!” Someone said from above her.
Slowly, she craned her head up.
Chairs lined the hole she was trapped within. Familiar men in togas sat in the chairs, drinking wine, while naked slaves sucked their cocks. Or knelt in front of them, the men buried into them from behind.
Luscinus’ voice came, smug and loud. “Good evening, Lana, how good of you to join us.”
Then men in the seats around him laughed like he’d just said the funniest thing imaginable.
What’s going on?
“After you left, I was… well, irritated that you seemed to oppose a relationship between us so publically and vocally. Especially after witnessing your obvious interest in my slaves. Initially, I thought to humiliate and destroy you. But then I realized that as satisfying as that might be, I could do better.”
Luscinus grinned and pointed to someone behind her. “Adonis, we’d like to see her breasts.”
She sensed motion beside her and started to struggle.
Big, warm hands fiddled with the knot of her dress at the back of her neck.
“Wait!” Luscinus shouted.
Has he realized he’s making a mistake? She looked up at him, desperately hoping she was right.
Instead, a cruel smile twisted his lips. “We have bets to take first.”
As the men above her shouted their bets, all hope died within her.
“My goddess,” a deep voice spoke softly against her ear, tugging down her gag ever-so-slightly. “We are men of honor. We would never take a female against her will.”
Tears stung her eyes. “But that’s exactly what you’re doing.”
“No,” he said, an unexpected harshness to his words. “We had intended to refuse them, even if it would cost us our lives. But then, we learned that when this is finished, they will give you to us as our slave. Things are changing in Capua. There could be no place safer for you than with.”
That can’t be true.
“And so you… you expect me to just go along with this?”
He was quiet for a long moment. “If our master hadn’t forced you here. If the men watching us were gone. How would you feel about us touching you? Tasting you? Having our way with you?”
She shuddered. It is what I’ve fantasized about since first setting eyes on all of you, but reality is different than my fantasies. “Afraid.”
His hot breath came across her neck, and she felt her nipples hardened. “We had imagined that maybe you wanted us too. That if we took you gently. If we made you forget our master and his Roman bastards, that you could accept us. Maybe even enjoy our touch.”
Could I?
“But we won’t force ourselves on you. I will signal my men, and we will attack. We will not make it from our master’s home alive, but we will do all we can to ensure that you do.”
She swallowed. Hard. They’re going to die to protect me?
“Wait.”
She felt him stiffen behind her. “How would this work? If I let you…”
He was breathing faster. “We’ve come up with a word: Gladiator. If you say it, we will stop at once. But if you do not say the word, you’ll allow us to touch you, even while you continue to seem to fight against us. We’ll do our best to appear the rough animals they think we are, while taking you as gently as possible. But if you say that word, no matter what, we all stop. And then? We’ll do anything you ask.”
If I ask him to help me escape, we might all die. But can I simply let twelve giant warriors touch me? With an audience to witness?
The idea humiliated her. And yet, he was right. If she just thought of what it would be like to experience their touch, it made her nervous, but seemed a far better option.
I can do this.
“Alright.”
“Just remember, we’re all putting on a show. Struggle as much as you can. And remember, the word Gladiator. They might believe they have all the control, but you do. One word from you, and they’re dead. I promise you that. We’ll kill them before their guards can kill us.” Then, he pulled her gag back into place.
The hairs on her arms stood on end. I have all the power. With just one word, this stops, and chaos erupts. Just knowing these twelve brave men would sacrifice their lives for her… it made her trust them.
“Adonis! The bets are set. Now, her breasts.” Luscinus shouted drunkenly.
She struggled harder, not even having to fake how revolting she found the thought of the men above her seeing her so exposed. But even so, a second later, Adonis pulled her down onto her knees and yanked her dress down.
The cool air slid over her skin. Her cheeks heated, horrified as the men above her hooted.
A deep voice spoke softly against her ear. “Remember, focus on me. On my voice. On my touch. Not on them.”
Tears prickled her eyes.
“Remove her gag,” Luscinus ordered.
“Act the way they expect you to say,” Adonis whispered. A second later, the foul tasting material dropped to the ground.
What would Lana, daughter of a magistrate say in this moment? And with crystal clarity, she knew.
She inhaled and then let her words flow. “Senator Luscinus, have you forgotten who my father is? Do you have any idea what he’ll do when he learns of what you have done to his only child? Release me at once!”
For a second the men above her were silent, and then their laughter came again.
Luscinus spoke through his. “You’re right, Lana, so we’ll have to make sure he never learns of what we have planned for you.”
Looking up, she met his gaze, despite her embarrassment at her bare breasts. “You are drunk and making a terrible mistake. My father will find out about this, and his justice will be swift and violent.”
“Perhaps,” he said, grinning. “So we should make this well worth the punishment.”
“You cannot—!”
“Replace her gag,” Luscinus said, leaning back and sipping his wine, his smirk still visible over the edge of his glass.
An instant later, the gag was tied around her face once more.
Breathing hard, she stiffened as she felt the soft touch of the gladiator behind her, rubbing her back gently with his large hand. To her horror, his caress against her naked skin sent goose bumps racing along her flesh.
“Now, for the real fun.” Luscinus motioned to a slave, who knelt in front of him, and promptly began to suck his cock. “Touch her breasts.”
Adonis’ slid his calloused hands down her arms as she struggled, then cupped her breasts in a way that was shockingly gentle. When his thumb moved up to circle her nipples, she was breathing harder. She told herself it was purely embarrassment, but deep down she knew she was curious about his touch.
When his thumb brushed her nipples, a jolt went through her body, straight to her womanhood. I can’t—can’t find this arousing. But there was no denying it. She had imagined his hands on her breasts dozens of times as she pleasured herself, and now that it was happening, her body was torn betwee
n acceptance and a need to fight her feelings.
He shifted closer behind her, and she was shocked to feel his naked cock press against her lower back. His fingers continued to work slowly, caressing her breasts, then gently pinching them until her nubs were hard.
“I told you men.” Luscinus’ voice was harsh. Cruel. “She likes the touch of these slaves. That is why she refused me. She is a whore.”
She shook her head, squirming in Adonis’ arms, but he continued to hold her tightly, yet gently.
“Cadmus,” Luscinus dug his hands into the hair of the slave that took him deeply in her mouth, “doesn’t her mouth look lonely?”
Her eyes widened. He can’t mean—
“It does if you feel it does, master.” Cadmus answered, his dark eyes locking with hers.
“Well, I think it looks very lonely. Gentlemen?”
“I say it does!”
“And her pussy!”
“And her ass!”
Her heart hammered in her chest. Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed to do this. Maybe I made a mistake.
“Cadmus, why don’t you correct this problem?” Luscinus rocked into the mouth of the woman in front of him. “And if she bites you, break her teeth.”
The blond-haired warrior stalked toward her. As Adonis continued to pluck her nipples, Cadmus knelt down in front of her.
Leaning down close to her ear, he whispered as he fiddled with her gag. “I am sorry. The goddess who speaks for the slaves should not be treated this way. Even though I have spent far too many nights dreaming of my cock buried inside of you, this isn’t how I imagined it.”
She stared at him, shocked yet again by his gentleness.
“May I fill your mouth with my cock?”
Numbly, she nodded.
Tearing off the gag and throwing it to the floor, he stood. His erect manhood was level with her mouth. And it was large. Far larger than the one man she’d sucked on before. Can I really handle him?
He shifted close. The head of his penis brushed her lips, already wet with his precum. He grasped his shaft and pressed it closer. Then, with his other hand, he grasped the back of her head.
Slowly, she parted her lips, and he slid slowly inside, a groan tearing from his throat.
She was amazed by how good he tasted. Salty and manly. Widening her mouth, she took him deeper and deeper until she gagged around his length.
There, he paused, looking down at her as if to be certain.
She met his gaze.
His eyes swirled with desire. And the intense look in his face said he was holding himself back.
He’s waiting for me. It was strange, even on her knees, exposed and vulnerable, she did feel strangely in control.
Very subtly, she nodded.
Drawing back out of her, he plunged back in. As the men hooted above them, she took Cadmus in and out of her mouth. Strangely aroused as he rocked in and out. When his rhythm grew faster and more intense, she sucked as hard as she could.
He came with a groan, filling her mouth with his seed.
She continued to suck him, swallowing his salty cum. Shocked by her reaction to him.
When he brushed the back of her head gently, his eyes half closed, a thrill ran through her. She had just made this big gladiator come. And… and she hadn’t minded it.
Luscinus’ laugh cut through her pleasure. “Do you see how the whore enjoyed a slave’s cock?” The other men muttered around him.
“Focus on us,” Adonis whispered, stroking her breasts.
“Now,” Luscinus continued more softly. “Who wants to see if she can take two dicks at once?”
At once? How could I possibly do that? Her womanhood clenched. I guess I’m about to find out.
Chapter Four
Lana had only been with one man in her life. Staring at the two massive gladiators, she felt a tremble of fear run through her body. What would it be like to take two men at once?
Two huge men.
Her heart raced.
Apparently, she was about to find out.
As Adonis pulled her on top of him, she struggled in his arms. Her soft naked body slid against his harder one. The sensation made her nipples tighten into hard nubs, and she had to bite her lip to keep a moan from slipping past her lips. His hard length pressed into her belly, and he nuzzled her hair, inhaling deeply as if to memorize her scent. It could’ve been one of the sexiest moments of her life.
A fantasy.
But above her, the disgusting Senator and his friends hooted and hollered, making her body tense. How could she possibly enjoy the big, beautiful man beneath her with an audience? How could she truly relax?
I hate them. And one day, I will punish them for this.
She pressed her face against Adonis’s shoulder in shame. The large gladiator wrapped his arms around her and stroked her lower back causing a shiver to run down her spine. How could the worst moment in her life, be made better just because of this man?
It made no sense.
“Don’t be afraid,” he whispered. “I’ll be as gentle as I can be.”
When she sensed Cadmus behind her, she stiffened. Is this how two men would take her at once?
Her breathing came in and out faster and faster as she felt Cadmus kneel behind her. His callused fingers gripped her hips so possessively it shocked her.
What will he be like when he’s pounding inside of me?
She curled her hands into fists, willing herself not to struggle. Not to fight them. They had told her to trust them, and even though she shouldn’t, she did.
And they said one word from me and this all stops. They’ll kill those men, no matter if it costs them their lives. She had to trust men who were willing to die for her. Right?
When Cadmus pulled her body toward him, she felt Adonis’ cock drag slowly down her stomach until it stopped, positioned just below her womanhood.
He was so large, almost impossibly big. Her mind screamed that he would never fit, even while her inner-muscles quivered in anticipation.
Cadmus‘ hand slid from her hip down her stomach. When it reached her womanhood, his big finger dipped inside of her. His touch was certain. Experienced. And as he stroked her, she felt her fear give way to arousal.
If I were alone in my mansion, being touched by these two beautiful men, it would be every fantasy I’ve ever imagined all rolled into one.
She willed herself to ignore the Senator and his friends. There was no way out of her situation. Other than a risky move that would cost all of them their lives. So rather than caring that they saw her naked and vulnerable, she was determined to make her night with the twelve gladiators a good one.
Her gaze went to the ten naked gladiators lined around the wall of the massive cushioned pit she’d been thrown into. Goose bumps erupted on her flesh. What will happen when Cadmus and Adonis are finished with me?
Adonis leaned up and rubbed his lips gently against hers, and her focus instantly snapped back to him. Just focus on the present. Worry about the rest later.
She kissed him back. For a moment he hesitated, as if shocked by her reaction, and then he groaned and his mouth took hers in an earth-shattering kiss.
The sensation of his kiss and the fingers that stroked her womanhood so perfectly, made her feel as if she was on the edge of something beautiful. Something unexpected.
This time, when she felt Adonis’ cock brush her womanhood, she didn’t tense. She allowed Cadmus to lower her onto the other man’s large shaft beneath her. His massive head parted her lower lips and found her slick opening. She wiggled slightly, taking him inside her body.
She gasped against Adonis’ mouth, her nails digging into his shoulder. But whether Cadmus didn’t notice her reaction or didn’t care, she didn’t know. He continued to guide Adonis’ shaft further inside her.
Her body protested, squeezing him almost painfully.
Adonis swore beneath her breaking their kiss. His breathing harsh.
When she came to his hilt, h
er heart raced, her body clenching him tightly. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. She was filled by this man in a way that made her feel excited and frightened all at once.
Which was when she felt Cadmus’ cock brushing her backside.
Her nails bit into the skin of Adonis’ shoulder so hard she knew she must be drawing blood. She clenched her teeth together, willing herself not to be afraid as his big hands pulled her further open for his entrance.
When his head pushed inside of her, it took everything in her not to cry out.
She wanted to tell him no. But when he was finished with her, there were ten more gladiators waiting, and she was sure before the end of the night one of them would enter her here. So, she willed herself to trust him. Even though inch by inch that he moved deeper, she grew more and more uncomfortable.
I can do this. I can do this. Just keep breathing.
When at last she’d taken him all the way, it took her a long minute before she unclenched her hands. Unable to help herself, she opened her eyes and stared at Adonis. His gaze begged her to give them a chance.
She nodded, the briefest movement, and then the two men began to fuck her.
She’d never felt anything like it, their large cocks moving in and out of her as if they were one person. They’re hardness within her wet channels setting every nerve in her body on fire. She held herself tensely, at first, but soon found herself bouncing eagerly against them.
This is… gods… why did I wait so long to do this?
Adonis’ large fingers began to stroke her nipples, squeezing them tightly. When his hot mouth closed over one of her nipples she whimpered. He sucked her gently at first and then harder. While his other hand played with her free nipple.
Oh, yes…
It was as if every sensitive nerve in her body was being worked by their expert hands. She felt her climax building, only this time she knew it would be more intense than anything she’d experienced before.
A tiny part of her felt embarrassed. A room full of men watched her. But her body needed this release, and she knew she couldn’t hold it back much longer.
