Chapter Ten

Master Getha had been called away to Ostia on business. The slaves worked tirelessly to make sure his things were packed for the trip. Alba and I went to the forum to shop, having a long list of items our mistress required. We were in the crowded marketplace, with noisy orators shouting from every corner, berating the senate. Everywhere I looked I saw large billboards announcing the upcoming games.

“What happened last night?”

I glanced at Alba, who carried a basket. “You’ll be happy to hear that I’m no longer a virgin.”

“How did this miracle occur?”

“I had sex with a gladiator while they…watched.”

“He likes that.”

“The senator?”

“Yes, and his horrid friends. I’ve done it many times.”

“Well, it was my turn.”

“Damn Titus. He’ll be just as insatiable as his father.”

“He’s more than ready for the brothel. I’d say throw him at it. Those yellow-haired whores shouldn’t scare him now. His lust will override all those objections.”

“We can only hope,” she laughed. Then her look sobered. “Did they hurt you?”

“No. It was…not unpleasant.”

“Which gladiator?”

I felt heat on my cheeks. “Marcus Ahala.”

“Oh, my! Ah, you lucky girl. You like him anyhow. What a turn of events.” She grinned. “Was he good?”

“Very.”

“Oohh…I’m jealous. He’s gorgeous and kind. I’m happy for you.”

“He asked to meet me in the garden.”

Her eyes widened. “That’s dangerous. He’ll have to escape the ludus.”

“He volunteered to be a gladiator. He’s free to move around.”

“I don’t know how it works. I thought they were all incarcerated.”

I shrugged. “I want to know everything about him. I want to…be with him again.”

Her smile faltered. “If anyone finds you together, it could be bad for both of you.”

“Don’t worry about me.” I grabbed her arm. “Be careful!” A carpentum approached, led by matching horses that were going too fast. “Let’s get our things. I need food. I’m starving.”

When we returned to the villa, Mistress Getha was drunk. Perhaps she had been celebrating the senator’s departure, but it was unusual to see her inebriated this early in the day. I eyed Alba, who looked worried. She was in the Tablinum with a wine glass in one hand and a key in the other. The lid to the strongbox had been opened.

“Mother!” Caelia glared at her. “What’s the matter? I can’t concentrate on my lessons with all this racket.” She had entered the room from the atrium.

“If someone spent your fortune, my dear, wouldn’t you scream?” She tottered precariously in her sandals.

“You should calm down. Father knows what he’s doing.”

“Cato!” she shouted. “Bring me the lanista. Bring him at once!” A slave rushed from the room. “I need more wine.”

“I think you’ve had enough.” Caelia wore a white tunic with a leather belt. Her light brown hair was captured at the nap of her neck in a demure bun. “Tea would be better.”

“Go way now.” She waved her hand. “You’re no help. I’ll not be lectured by my own children. This is a private matter. Return to your lessons.”

“Then stop shouting. I can hear you all the way to the roof.
