Chapter Five

Mowriyah walked into the large concrete structure and immediately felt the warmth of the bathhouse caress her skin. The smell of lavender lingered in the air and the constant chatter of a hundred conversations assaulted her ears. She stopped just inside the entrance and took in all the sights.

She had heard stories of the Roman bathhouses. The casualness of nudity between sexes seemed morally wrong, but actually seeing the mixture of bodies didn’t strike her as wrong at all. As she walked forward, she heard the Romans talk of business, home, politics, weather, and love. Women in the water played with each other, washed themselves, or huddled in dark corners with their mate. Males drank their ale, wrestled each other, or surrounded themselves with beautiful naked women who fed them olives and cheese. Plants and artwork adorned the large area, and a concrete bridge allowed people to cross the pool without ever entering the water.

Clinging to Septimus, she leaned in close and whispered, “Will we be out here with everyone else?” A flicker of panic shot through her.

“There are private rooms to rent, if that is what you would prefer.”

As she considered the option, she noticed his gaze drop to the floor and his lips pressed together in a fine line. He wants to be out here with everyone, to be a part of the scenery. She took a slow, deep breath before responding. “We can stay here. I trust you.”

Upon her acceptance, Septimus led her to the side of the pool. Phaedra and Trivian had already relieved themselves of their clothing and had entered the shallow end. She searched Septimus’s eyes. No other woman in this place captured his gaze. Outside distractions seemed to hide in the spaces of her mind, and it instantly felt as if they were the only two in the room.

Septimus leaned into her and tugged at her toga from the shoulder. “You are exquisite.”

Mowriyah allowed herself to relax. Her shoulders dropped, and her head lobbed to the side as his soothing voice lulled her into submission. He released the fabric and it slid to the floor. His fingers stroked her bare skin from her shoulder to her chest and a set of tingles coursed through her body.

She watched through her euphoric gaze as he unfastened his own toga and allowed it to fall at his feet. His chiseled body was familiar to her. The tightness of his abs, his eyes that glimmered with the green hues of Caledonia, and his hardened jaw line were all remarkably stunning. But at the moment her attention was drawn to his muscular shoulders and arms, which he had developed from pulling his fish nets through the water. The power that he possessed in those arms was enough to handle all manner of occasions. His arms promised her comfort, clutched her tightly during her times of need, and cradled her to him in the heat of passion.

Septimus slid his hand around her waist and gently guided her into the bath.
