His father, the emperor Tacitavius, had sired Maximus from his loins by inseminating his own half-sister, the empress Lasilla. Maximus had always know... the pleasures of the flesh, having slept in his parents’ bed his entire childhood and witnessed countless couplings of every sort: man and man, man and child, woman and child, sheep and man and dog and woman. He was too young to understand the implications of the chosen matings, but he certainly knew lust: he wanted even before he could command. I’d been doing all of the work for that one, riding him like a good cowgirl; now my legs were getting sore and I was wearing down too.

I lowered her to the settee. It hurt to let go of her. I poured two generous measures of whiskey and returned to.
