Given to the Gladiator

by Olivia T. Turner

  The beasts were easy to slay, but the men put up a fight that would make Mars proud. Unfortunately for them, my sword was quicker, my wits stronger.

  And my will—fortified by my virgin muse—was impenetrable.

  “Great fight, Kaeso,” the guard says with a grin as I pass him. “I won ten silver denarii. Enough to take my girl out on the town. Anything I can do for you?”

  “Remove the men from the baths,” I say as I walk to my cell. “I want privacy.”

  “Your wish is my command,” he says as he sprints past me to empty it, unlocking my cell along the way.

  I suck in a breath as I stand at the iron bars, watching my love sleeping on the bed. She’s curled up under the blankets and the serene peaceful sight of her washes the adrenaline of battle away. In its place comes a loving warmth so sweet that it brings water to my eyes.

  The creek of the iron door opening awakens her and she sits up with a gasp. My hands squeeze into fists, hating that this ripe beauty is wracked by fear of men. I’ll spend the rest of my unworthy life instilling a sense of safety and love inside her to replace that angst.

  Her eyes widen with a different kind of fear when she sees me. “You’re hurt?”

  She jumps out of bed and is in front of me at once, examining my body for wounds.

  “It’s the spilled blood of my opponents,” I whisper to her, watching as she takes my big arm and turns it around to check for any gashes underneath. There’s nothing there but solid unyielding muscle. “I am not hurt. The only pain I experienced was the pain in my heart from being so far from you.”

  Her soft sleepy green eyes make their way up to mine and my heart wrenches around in my mighty chest like a thrashing beast.

  “Come,” she says as she takes my wrist in her tiny hands. “Let me wash this off you.”

  I let her guide me to the baths where we’re alone once again. The waterfall is roaring as it surges out of the rock wall into the warm baths below.

  My Elovissa is a true enchantress. So pure and innocent that she could bring the gods themselves to their knees.

  I gaze down at her pristine angelic face, loving that she has a wild untamed personality to match.

  Her tiny fingers being to work on the straps of the leather armor strapped to my forearm, pulling and sliding it until the manicae slips free and falls to the cold wet stone under our feet.

  I get a chill on my hot sweaty skin as she runs her fingertips up my forearm, making sure that every bit of me is intact.

  This woman already feels like home. And for a slave like me, being sold and dragged across the Empire multiple times over the years, that’s saying a lot.

  She’s what’s been missing in my life. I didn’t know what I was lacking then, but I know now. And I’m not about to lose it now that it’s finally here.

  I want to be the man this ravishing enchantress deserves. The one who will shower her with love and adoration, but I’ve never known anything besides brute force. I’ve never been good at anything but killing.

  How can a savage animal like me possibly be worthy of this dazzling angelic girl?

  She is much too short to reach the gaderus on my shoulders, so I peel it off my slick skin and toss it behind me. It’s the last of my armor. I’m bare-chested with nothing on but my bloodstained loincloth.

  Elovissa looks up at me with excitement in her bright eyes as she reaches for the pin holding it around my waist.

  The thought of her yesterday with those tiny hands wrapped around my throbbing cock begins to make my manhood harden yet again. It was the best moment of my life.

  She slides out the metal pin and the loincloth falls to the floor. A startled gasp escapes from her wet parted lips when she sees my towering member standing tall and thick for her.

  I don’t want her innocent hands on me until I’ve washed this wretched blood off so I step into the baths and head for the waterfall.

  I can feel her eager eyes on me as I step under the falling water, letting it slam into my shoulders and neck as it washes the blood away. It stains the water red and then slowly travels toward the drain, disappearing forever.

  “Mmmm,” I moan as the force of the water massages my tired weary neck. I close my eyes and let the constant weight soothe my muscles.

  When I’m feeling nice and relaxed—the horrible shrieks and screams from the battle fading into a distant memory—I open my eyes and see a wondrous sight.

  Elovissa’s arms are behind her back and she’s got a sensuous grin on her face that’s in pure opposition to the honest virginal woman I know she is. She releases the clasps holding her dress together and lets it fall to her feet.

  My head goes as light as the summer clouds as I feast on her naked body. She’s standing there shyly with her hands clasped over the dark tuft of hair between her legs.

  I swallow hard when I gaze at her voluptuous breasts and the firm delicious nipples that I desperately want to touch.

  My cock aches fiercely as she begins to walk forward on her slender bare feet, each step making her shapely thighs sway and her curvy breasts jiggle.

  She’s a timeless perfection.

  And she’s all mine.

  My undeserving heart aches with need as she steps into the water and comes to me…

  Chapter Five

  Elovissa

  Kaeso looks like an immovable statue as he stands there with the powerful waterfall beating down on his solid shoulders. His eyes, both lit from the flame of the torches and from the hungry desire within, are locked on my naked body as I step into the warm water.

  He didn’t ask this of me. No slave master ordered me to disrobe. This is my doing. I’m choosing to bare all for him.

  Not a vicious slaver, or my tyrannical mother. It’s my choice alone who I give my maidenhead too and I want Kaeso to have it.

  The rush of water washes away the blood, sweat, and dirt from the battle, leaving only his tanned taut skin. Leaving only him.

  He’s no longer the most deadly warrior in all of the Roman Empire, or the most decorated gladiator to step foot in the Colosseum. He is just Kaeso and I am just Elovissa, and together we are both lovers about to come together for the first time. Our love is all that matters in this moment.

  The water is to my waist as I stand before him, looking up at his heavy frame. The water is pounding off his strong shoulders like even the weight of the world can’t bring this man down. I’ve never seen anything sexier.

  “Will you fight again?” I ask him. “After your last match?”

  The past few hours were pure torture as I waited for him to return. I cried myself to sleep. I’m not sure if my tender heart can go through that again.

  “I have one more match before I’m a free man,” he says in a low rumbling voice that teases my aching clit. “And then, you’ll be a free woman. I’ll kill whatever they put in front of me and then, my Venus, we’ll sail to an island off the coast of Crete and the only fights I’ll see till the end of my days will be laughing food fights and giggling tickle fights with you and our children.”

  He reaches out to me with his big hand. “Would you like that?”

  I’m fighting back happy tears as I slide my hand into his and nod. “More than you could ever know.”

  This is the heart of the real man under the fearsome exterior. He’s a lover. A protector. A giant who wishes nothing more than to love the woman he’s meant to be with.

  I just can’t believe that woman is me.

  I’m falling deeply in love with this man and right now, in this moment, I’m feeling closer to him than I’ve ever felt with any person before.

  I belong with him.

  “Kaeso,” I whisper as my breaths increase in intensity. “I want you inside me. I need it.”

  Any shyness I had around this man is gone. He’s making me want him so badly. I want to feel him possessing me with that ownership I see in his eyes. I want him to make me his.

  He pulls my hand and wraps his arms around me, pulling me
into his embrace as he lowers his lips. I’m expecting a mouth as rough as his calloused hands, but it’s soft and wet and pleasant.

  I moan against his tongue as it slides into my mouth, tasting my essence as I taste his. He’s a good kisser. Soft and gentle, so unlike what everyone thinks of him. I like that I’m the only one who knows the real man. The sweetheart behind the beast.

  His hard cock presses against my belly and a deep moan rolls out of me.

  “How can it fit?” I ask with a gasp as I look down and see it towering between us. It looks like it’s going to split me in two.

  “You let me worry about that,” he says as his strong hands cup my breasts, swallowing them with his thick fingers and rough palms. My nipples harden to the point of pain as they brush against his skin. His loving touch is gentle and soothing as he caresses and massages them. “You just relax and let me take care of you.”

  That’s all I want anymore. For him to take care of me.

  I’ve never had anyone truly look out for me. It was always a battle with my parents and I’m done going at it alone. I just want to curl up into Kaeso’s wide chest and rest my cheek on his skin while he protects and cares for my every need.

  An excited rush of adrenaline hits me as his hand slides down my stomach. “Oh, Kaeso,” I moan as he cups my bare sex with his big rough hand. His thick finger parts my wet seam and presses against my hole that’s aching to be filled.

  “You’re wetter than this waterfall, my love,” his raspy voice rumbles.

  I want him so badly. I can’t help it.

  My hands are trembling as I run them up the carved ridges of his big arms. This man could break me in two with a snap of his wrists.

  But I could break him with my words. I can tell he’s falling for me. As much, if not more, than I’m falling for him.

  He dips his fingertip into my entrance and then slowly brings his wet finger to his lips. My clit aches as I watch him suck my juices off it with a heavy moan.

  “You taste as ripe as you look,” he says as his hands come back down. This time they grip my ass, swallowing my cheeks in his big palms. “I want you on my cock. I want to be deep inside you where I belong.”

  My eyes widen but my head is nodding up and down. I want it too. Pain or not, I want to feel him in my lower belly. I want to feel him rocking my world.

  He lifts me easily and I quickly wrap my hands around his powerful neck to stabilize myself. We’re face to face and I can see all the lustful hunger in his dark eyes. The waterfall is pounding into his wide muscular back, splashing all over us as he kisses me hard on the mouth.

  “Are you ready, my Venus?” he asks as he lowers me down onto the thick tip of his cock. His head parts my wet aching lips and rests against my tight virgin hole.

  “Yes,” I gasp as I feel his strong grip on my fleshy cheeks, as I smell his sensual masculine scent, as I see the intense need on his gorgeously scarred face. I’ve never wanted anything more.

  He starts to lower me slowly as he presses his hips up. I dig my nails into his skin and cry out as I feel the true girth of his gigantic cock. It burns all over as he slowly stretches me out.

  “No,” I say, gripping his hair when he starts to ease back out. “Don’t stop. I’ll be okay.”

  I close my eyes and focus on the pounding of the waterfall, on the way he’s holding me so lovingly as he slowly lowers me down on his big dick. Each inch hurts but it feels good at the same time. It’s like I don’t know how to feel. It burns but it feels amazing.

  “You’re a true goddess,” he whispers in his gravelly voice as he lowers me another inch.

  I’m digging my fingernails into his skin—my mouth wide open—as he plunges a little bit deeper.

  He’s so damn big…

  I whimper as he suddenly stops. An irrational anger rips through me. I don’t want him to stop. I want to feel him deeper.

  “What is it?” I gasp as my head lolls back, the bouncing droplets of water cooling my skin.

  “Your maidenhead,” he growls. “I’m about to take it.”

  “It’s yours,” I whisper as I look into his eyes. Our mouths are pulled together and we kiss each other hard as he drives up with one punishing thrust of his hips. My eyes squeeze shut as he takes my virginity and claims my pussy as his own. It’s all his now. I’m all his.

  I cry out into his mouth as his massive cock fills me completely, stretching every inch of my pussy. I feel so incredibly… full.

  “You’re so damn tight,” he groans into my neck. “Ruthlessly tight.”

  I’ve only been thinking about the sensations rocketing through my own body, I haven’t thought about how it feels for Kaeso. How it feels for his thick shaft to be squeezed by my virgin pussy.

  “Are you okay?” I ask, hoping he’s enjoying this as much as I am.

  “Oh, fuck, Elovissa,” he says as he shakes his head, watching me with a loving ferocity. “Nothing has ever felt so sweet as your warm tight cunt. I’m trying to go slow, love. I’m trying to control myself.”

  “You can go a little faster,” I say as the burning begins to dissipate, turning into pleasure as I get used to his size.

  His big hands grip my ass once again as he slowly slides out. Just as the tip is about to leave me, he lowers me down and thrusts his powerful hips back up, driving deep inside of me once again.

  “Oh, mother of Rome,” I cry out as I feel his balls press up against my cheeks. He’s buried to the hilt inside me, his big chest heaving up and down.

  He holds me there with a grin on his lips as I grind my aching clit on the root of his cock, loving the way it sends jolts of pleasure rocketing up through my body.

  He’s done going easy on me now. I start crying out and gasping for air as he starts thrusting in and out with hard, deep strokes. The unrelenting, unyielding crush of the water slams into his jacked shoulders as he thrusts into my willing body.

  “You drive me crazy, Elovissa,” he groans as he lowers his head and takes a hard nipple into his mouth.

  I moan and sink my hands into his wet hair, holding him against my chest as he runs his tongue around my tingling nub then moves his mouth to my other breast.

  His big cock never stops moving, thrusting in and out of my virgin tunnel. I’m so wet. When I look down, I see a rush of clear juice surging out of me. It’s making a mess on his pubic hair, on his pelvis, on the root of his thick cock.

  I keep my eyes plastered down there as he slides out until just the tip is inside my tightness. The redness of my virginity is mixed with my pussy juice on his shaft. I watch in awe as it goes in and out, feeling it penetrating me whenever it disappears.

  “I’m going to come in your cunt,” he growls in my ear. Our temples are touching as we both watch where we’re connected. “This little ripe pussy is going to be coated in my hot come. It’s going to have my name and my seed all over it.”

  I don’t answer with words. I just start rocking my hips to the rhythm, slamming against his drives as my breath quickens to a feverish pace.

  “This is my cunt now. I claimed it. I own it.”

  “I only want to feel your cock inside me.” It’s the truth. I only want him.

  “I can’t take it anymore,” he groans. “You’re too tight. I’m going to erupt.”

  I hold onto his neck as I feel the warmth coming to a head inside me. It’s aching and straining to release. I’m going to come…

  “Oh, Kaeso,” I gasp as I feel it surging to a boiling point.

  He grips me tighter than ever and I whimper as I feel his firm cock lurch inside me. Just as his hot come begins shooting out into my virgin tunnel, I come hard.

  It’s all a blur of intense sensations hitting me at once. My head is back and I’m screaming out as my legs shake around Kaeso’s huge frame. His hard cock is plunged deep inside me, pulsing vigorously as his hot come fills every inch of my pussy.

  He’s holding me up, the waterfall roaring behind us, as my vision goes in and out of focus.
It feels like I’ve had too much wine. It feels amazing.

  I never thought I’d see Kaeso go weak, but his legs buckle and he lowers me to the water. It feels amazing on my sweaty skin as he drops to his knees, his hard cock still lodged deep inside me.

  I slide off of him and close my eyes as I float on the water, completely and utterly satisfied.

  “You did so well, my love,” he says as he wraps his arms under me and pulls me to his chest. I can feel his heart hammering against his skin. “I know my size didn’t make it easy.”

  “But you did,” I say as he gazes at my floating breasts. “You made it easy. You made it incredible.”

  “Come,” he says as he lifts me from the water and stands up. “I’m not done making you feel incredible just yet.”

  Chapter Six

  Kaeso

  I’m clutching my Venus like the treasure she is, holding her against my chest as I walk back to my cell. She’s wet and exhausted, but those sexy eyes are still gazing up at me, wanting more.

  I still can’t believe she took all of my thickness inside her virgin body. She’s as tough as she is beautiful.

  “Get out of here!” I bark at one of the guards who’s hanging around near my cell. He takes one look at me and then disappears down the hall as quickly as his legs will take him. They all know it doesn’t mean a damn thing that they have swords and I don’t. They all know that if I choose to, I can end them in seconds with nothing but my bare hands.

  I kick open the iron gate and lower my beauty onto the bed. Her eyes are falling closed, but she’s got a smile on her face as she watches me.

  “My man,” she whispers as she touches my cheek with her tiny hand.

  I lean into it with a moan. I love this girl. I’m already obsessed with everything about her.

  “What comes next?” she asks with a sexy gleam in her eyes. “I thought we did everything a husband and wife are supposed to do.”

  My hands are shaking with anticipation as I peel her robe open, revealing her soft ripe body. She’s stunningly perfect. Every gentle curve, every sweet inch. Her breasts are moving up and down with every breath, her nipples still hard from the water.
