Why did Marcellus act like this? Did she even know the man? Gwen scanned the crowded chamber. The man Marcellus had spoken to stood across the room.

Walking up to the man would break introduction rules, but she’d broken many bounds of propriety this week. As she strode to the man, he turned his gaze to her. Was that interest in his eyes? Slamming to a halt in front of him, she met his gaze. “I’m Gwen Paterculi. You?”

“Cato.” His dark eyes held a dangerous glint.

“How do you know my husband?”

“We do business together.” Cato parted his thin lips. “Marcellus has indeed found himself a beautiful wife.”

“What kind of business?”

“Walk with me and I’ll tell you.” Cato gestured to the courtyard outside the colonnades.

She dragged her foot against the tile. Should she go to the darkened gardens with this man she’d never met?

“Perhaps you would like to hear some stories about him? Marcellus is a mysterious man.” Cato’s skin had a yellow pallor.

Marcellus was that. She had her knife, so, in truth, what did she fear? She followed Cato and the lighted villa faded behind them. In the peristyle, high hedges made long shadows.

Someone grabbed her arm from behind. She struck back with her fist. Oh, Marcellus. She dropped her hand.

With a glance to Cato, who merely smiled, Marcellus yanked her back to the hedges. “What are you doing?” he hissed in her ear.

“Just getting to know your friends.” She shoved at his hand. His grip hurt. “I thought I should learn about the man I married.”

“Cato’s not my friend.”

“He said you’ve known each other years.”

“Never approach Cato again.” Anger flushed Marcellus’ face. Anger at her?

“I only wanted to learn more about you. I know so little about the man I call husband.” Tears welled in her eyes. Not just her familia, but even John and Livia thought Marcellus a brute.

Marcellus circled his arm around her waist. He stroked his hand down her back, brushing the hair from her cheek with his other. He dropped his voice, so gentle now. “You’ll not learn about me from Cato.”

Her heart stilled and she pulled back from him. “Which patricians are your friends then?”

“I count no patrician as friend.”

“What about me?” The darkened hedge blocked the sights and noise within the Ocelli villa, just like at the parties last year.

He twisted his mouth up, warmth in his eyes. “You’re my wife, and that’s a thousand times better than any mere friend.”

“Friendship’s part of marriage, growing old together.”

His face fell. “Yes, I suppose it is.” He turned.

“Where are you going?”

“To speak to my not friends.” He kicked a rock.

“If you dislike them so much, stop doing business with them.”

He shook his head.

In a single long stride, she caught him. “Whether Cato’s your friend or no, I’m still interested in his thoughts.”

“Don’t talk to him.” Grabbing her shoulders, he got in her face to speak. “You hear me?”

With a groan, she nodded. She definitely needed to pull a knife on him soon.
