Rome and the Romans
Chapter 5
Rescue and Return to Rome
Alexander was overjoyed a few weeks later when the Consul told him,
"You are going to be transported back across to Spain, Alexander, you will have a small escort and over the other side you will be joined by a larger party who will ride with you to recover your friends. You won't have a legion, but the leader will be a Centurion directed to escort you back to Rome when you are ready."
The Consul laughed and Alexander joined him. He didn't want a legion, just enough men to exact retribution.
The sea trip was short and when they beached a Centurion reported to Alexander and had him equipped with armour and weapons, a good horse was supplied and they were soon on their way. It took Alexander some time to get his bearings and he started to feel embarrassed until he saw familiar landmarks. They rode until sunset and while the food was being prepared Alexander briefed the Centurion and his officers on the villa.
"It stands in its own grounds with walls round the whole property. I doubt we will have problems gaining entry through the main doors but if we do scaling the walls will not be a problem, it has not been built as a fortress. I imagine the pirate feels safe while no one knows what he gets up to. He has a few armed men in the grounds, mainly I think to keep the slaves under control. They lack the discipline of a Roman household where as you know we would never have armed retainers."
Alexander drew a map of the villa and pointed out the slave quarters.
"I want that area taken and protected early, I don't want the pirate to get to them and kill anyone before we have quelled any resistors. I will lead the party to that area."
The Centurion was amazed that a Roman youth would want to be in the thick of the fighting.
"Sire, I would caution that you remain back and let my soldiers take the villa."
"No Centurion, I won't expect your men to fight for me while I sit and do nothing. I will take the escort group that came with me from Africa. Captain will you do me the honour?"
The young Captain that had lead Alexander's escort was flattered, he also realised that success would not hurt his army career.
The attack the next day was ridiculously easy. The pirate and his entourage were all taking their siesta and the slaves were locked down. The first they knew about the attack was when the main doors were smashed in and the villa and grounds were swarming with Roman soldiers. Alexander and his small escort headed directly for the slave quarters just as the guard came awake. It was very definitely no contest and he dropped his sword, surrendering to Alexander.
Alexander ran into the quarters searching the pens for Haaken. They saw each other at the same time and the shouts of joy were testament to the pleasure each gained from the sight of the other. The young Captain was amazed to see the two young men kiss each other passionately and watched as the tears of joy flooded their eyes.
Alexander turned and saw his young captain watching.
"Captain, this is Haaken, he is a Norseman and my dearest friend."
The captain saluted Haaken and expressed his pleasure that he was safe.
Meanwhile Alexander was looking round the other pens until he spotted the young Nubian.
The Captain and his soldiers were incredulous at what they then witnessed.
As soon as the Nubian was released, clad only in a loincloth, Alexander dropped to his knees in front of him and kissed his hand.
"I am delighted that we have found you safe and well young Prince."
In Latin, good enough to surprise Alexander the Nubian youth replied.
"Please do not kneel before me Alexander, it should be me kneeling at your feet thanking you for rescuing me."
Turning to the Captain Alexander said.
"We must find some suitable attire for the Prince and Haaken, and I am sure both will want to bathe before dressing."
Alexander was overjoyed at their success. The Nubian and Haaken both looked a little thinner and used, would probably sum up their looks well. Not so an hour later when they all gathered in the main salon of the villa. The Prince looked amazing in flowing robes and Haaken delightful in a Roman tunic, the one he had worn at the time of their abduction.
The Centurion and all his officers were there as well while the soldiers guarded all of the other occupants of the house.
"We have captured several Spaniards, Sire, but none professes to be the leader."
Alexander laughed and replied, looking at Haaken and the Prince, "Well I'm sure us three will recognise him if he is here."
He was and was mouth agape when he recognised Alexander. It was sometime before the recognition of the other two reached his eyes.
"I am sure that while you help build roads and sewers in Rome you will have plenty of time to ponder the fate that brought me back to your door. To start you off, everyone of your slaves is going to have the pleasure of raping you."
Turning to the Centurion he said, "In fact, why don't we allow all of the slaves and all of your soldiers to rape as many of these men as they would like while we discuss the way we are going to return to Rome."
It was fun to watch, and listen to the screams as a bunch of Spanish pirates had their arses torn up by sex starved slaves and soldiers.
"The Spaniards are easy, they will all be taken into slavery, but what are we going to do with the remainder of the slaves?"
"Send the Africans back across the water Alexander. They will find their way home. The others were all abducted so they will be welcomed back into their tribes, not like me."
That was from the Prince and he looked sad.
"Most of the others are from the West, Alexander, can't you just release them as well?"
That was how it transpired. A junior officer and two soldiers escorted the Africans back with orders that they were to be given food and suitable clothing for their journey home, the others were just told they could return home taking anything they wished from the villa.
The Centurion would escort Alexander and his party for a thousand kilometres and leave him with the Captain and the small escort for the remainder of the journey.
The villa was raised to the ground as they left.
The Prince rode alongside Alexander and Haaken. His Latin had improved so much because he was always talking to Haaken. His name was Artemis which surprised Alexander that was very Greek. Apparently Greek soldiers had reached his area a long time ago and many of his tribe had taken Greek names.
Alexander thought a great deal about Artemis, he was a beautiful boy and a wonderful specimen of his race, he was obviously intelligent and articulate. He thought Caesar might find him an interesting diversion. Most Nubians were slaves, to have one in attendance that was a Prince, Alexander was sure would please him no end.
"I hope you will be my guest when we return to Rome, Sire until I can get you an audience with Caesar, then we will see what happens to you."
"Please Alexander, we are friends, and have been lovers, all be it unwillingly, call me Artemis."
Alexander blushed and then laughed when he saw the expression on the face of Artemis.
"You as well Haaken, you have been the most beautiful lover I have ever had."
More blushes and more laughter.
"You see Alexander, my uncle sold me for two reasons. Firstly he was worried I would try to usurp his throne and secondly because I am a boy lover."
Alexander laughed again.
"In that case I hope we will have the opportunity to be lovers again. You were quite awesome even under the duress that I was subjected to."
Haaken guessed now that Artemis would likely make love to both of them again and he thought that would be nice. He was used to Artemis's huge penis now and it did feel wonderful roaming around inside him. He couldn't believe how much he now loved gay sex compared with his silly resistance when Alexander first bought him.
By the time the Centurion left with the bulk of the soldiers the young Captain had become friendly with his charges.
"What will you do when we get to Rome, Captain?"
"I don't know Sire, I will be posted again I expect but I am due some leave first."
"Will you go home?"
"I have no home Sire, my family were slaughtered by the Hun before we quelled their rebellion. I was away at the time, a Legionnaire."
"In that case, I insist you take your leave as my guest."
The Captain was amazed, this young Roman was a favoured of Caesar, how could he befriend a lowly Captain in the army.
"Thank you Sire, but I am sure you will have so much to do getting re-acquainted with your companion and the Prince."
Alexander laughed. "You are fishing Captain, shame on you."
The Captain blushed.
"What is your name and how old are you?"
"I am Cassius, Sire and I am 23 years old."
"Well Cassius, you are correct. I will be spending a great deal of time showing Haaken how much I love him and have missed him. In the case of the Prince I will just be extending a great deal of hospitality to him. That can be extended to include you, or you can join us just as my house guest."
"Thank you Sire, I think I would like that."
"Good, that's settled and you must call me Alexander."
Cassius was overjoyed, he was moving ahead socially if he was going to be entertained by a young Roman Courtesan. Man on man sex was not something that would worry him either if it helped his social position.
The remainder of his journey home was uneventful. The day before they were due to arrive in Rome, Cassius sent a runner ahead to inform Marcus of the impending arrival of his son.
The party went to the villa of Marcus first where the greeting was most effusive, Marcus weeping tears of joy at the safe return of his favourite son. The escort was sent back to their barracks but Alexander insisted that Cassius remain with them. All thoughts of returning to his own villa were forgotten that day, the other three Norsemen were brought in to help Marcus's slaves so that Haaken could have a reunion with them and the following day word was received that Caesar would like Alexander to attend him with his party at lunch time. Cassius and Artemis were incredibly nervous but amazed at how relaxed Alexander and Haaken were. Alex picked up on it and laughed.
"Haaken and I spent many happy hours in the company of Caesar, he no longer makes us nervous, well, not very often, only when he looks lustfully at Haaken."
The boys laughed and then spent the morning making themselves look as perfect as possible. New robes were quickly acquired for Artemis and a complete ceremonial uniform of a Captain was sent for, for Cassius.
When they were shown in to Caesar's presence he almost jumped up with pleasure and hugged Alexander.
"My dear boy I am so delighted to see you. Rome has been very dull without your light shining on all our parties. Now introduce me to your companions, except of course for the delightful and beautiful Haaken."
Haaken blushed furiously at Caesar's effusive compliment and the other two were astounded that these two virtual boys were such favoured of the Emperor.
"Mighty Caesar, it is my pleasure to be here to serve you again in any way that I may. This Sire is Artemis, a Prince of the Nubians, who was unfortunate enough to share our fate with the Spaniards."
Artemis came forward and bowed regally to Caesar before dropping to one knee and kissing his hand. Caesar was mouth agape at the beauty of this young black man who exuded health and strength. He turned to Alexander and then back to Artemis.
"You are welcome to Rome noble Prince, please remain as our guest."
Artemis at sixteen years old was overcome and almost feinted until Alexander gripped his arm and steadied him.
"And who is this Captain, Alexander?"
"He was the Captain of my escort Sire from Africa to Rome. His family were slaughtered by the tribes in Germania before we quelled them and he has no home. He has been such a good and loyal companion that I have invited him to spend his leave with us before he takes up his next posting."
"In that case Alexander perhaps we should keep him here in Rome as part of my guard." Tears openly flowed down the cheeks of one young Captain. He fell to his knees and further to kiss Caesar's feet.
"Mighty Caesar, you do me such great honour, it will give me the greatest pleasure to serve and protect you with my life."
Caesar laughed and helped Cassius to his feet.
"Now, all of you leave me to get acquainted with my guest. Prince Artemis, come, join me." Caesar was turning to leave as he said this and looked over his shoulder as they reached the exit, "Alexander, have a party in three days time and invite this old man and his new guest."
Alexander, Haaken and Cassius returned to Marcus's home just long enough to retrieve their possessions and the Norse slaves before continuing to Alex villa that had been made ready for him.
When they had all calmed down and were relaxing by the pool Cassius knelt before Alexander, took his hand and kissed it before saying.
"You have done me so much honour Alexander and now Caesar has honoured me because of you. There is nothing you could ask of me now that I would not do for you."
Alex was overjoyed that this beautiful man would remain in Rome and continue as his friend, but now he felt wicked and wanted to see whether he would make a good lover.
"In that case Cassius, I want you to allow Haaken and myself to make love to you."
Cassius looked up and smiled, "Nothing would give me greater joy Alexander, the two of you must be the most beautiful men in Rome, if not the Empire."
Nothing could be gained by delaying so all three went off to bathe before retiring to Alexander's quarters. Cassius was indeed a beautiful man. Alexander and Haaken had beautiful bodies from all the exercise they did but Cassius had the hard body of a professional soldier. In combat Alex was sure he would be a formidable foe, in bed however he was putty in the hands of these two expert lovers.
It took them only a very short time to have Cassius wriggling with pleasure. His penis had never been so hard and he had no idea his anus could be a place of such exquisite sensuality as Haaken rimmed him and gently finger fucked him. Alexander decided that the best way to shorten any hesitation or nervousness in this, his latest lover would be to let him make the first penetration. He lubricated his anus and then Cassius's penis before straddling him and impaling himself on a not insubstantial cock. Cassius nearly passed out with shock when he realised what Alexander had done.
"Sire, you can't, you can't let me fuck you."
The shock was obvious in his tone but Alexander laughed, threw his head back and fucked himself on Cassius.
"You are wrong my friend, I can and I have done and it feels wonderful having you inside me. Now you take command and make a thorough job of it."
With that, Alex rolled sideways and ended up on his back legs spread and well back, held in place by Haaken, for comfort. Cassius didn't hesitate now, Alex was so beautiful he took your breath away and to penetrate him from a commanding position was heaven for Cassius. When he came, his scream of joy was heard all round the villa. He fell forward almost crushing Alex and sobbed out his joy.
A nod from Alex and Haaken went round behind Cassius and started to open him up. Cassius came up on his elbows and looked into Alex eyes with a mixture of shock and pleasure. Alex pulled him down again to plant a passionate kiss on his lips and whispered.
"Stay, enjoy Haaken he will take you to paradise again."
Haaken did, he opened Cassius up and then entered him eliciting a gasp of shock at the initial penetration. The shock turning to joy and extreme pleasure as a mighty Norse phallus rode him to another mighty orgasm spraying Alex torso.
The three young men were totally wasted after that and lay in a tangle of arms and legs for ages regaining their equilibrium. The final act of pleasure for Cassius was to take part in a bath ritual where the other three Norse slaves washed and pampered the three lovers.
Lying around the lamp lit pool after bathing clad only in breechcloths the three young men were full of jokes and laughter, in fine spirits after their new experiences.
"I doubt we will get the chance to do this very often Cassius when you join Caesar's personal guard, but you know you will be welcome every time you are free."
Cassius beamed at his new friend, "Thank you Alexander, I am sure I will take advantage of your invitation if you are going to entertain me like this."
All three young men were grinning like Lune's after that comment and went to their beds very contented. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lots more loving and new adventures to follow.
