She walked into the windowless room that she and Crixus now shared at the abandoned temple and called out to him, "Crixus? Spartacus would have words-" The room appeared empty until she spotted her gladiator crouched in the shadows in the far corner of the room with his back to her. "Crixus? Are you unwell?" Concerned that one of his many injuries incurred during his escape from the arena yet pained him, she approached his curved back from behind, She heard his faint grunt and she gasped as she realized what he was doing. It had been months since she'd last lain with the man, yet she remembered his sounds of pleasure too well to mistake for pain. He was too near to completion to stop now. Naevia sat down and leaned against him pressing the side of her body and face against his muscular back. Never moving from her position, she tentatively reached her arm around him. The shock of her touch after so many weeks since their reunion, finally made Crixus pause in stroking himself to see what she was about. He had no wish to frighten her but his need has been so great upon him the last few days. She placed her hand below his on his cock ever so lightly. Crixus placed his hand over hers to encourage and strengthen her grip. He was surprised when she did not shy away but, instead, took over the task. Unlike his own touch where he had struggled to reach fulfillment – her hand upon him quickly brought him to the edge. Crixus' head fell back upon the top of her own and with a deep intake of breath, he released his seed. He half-turned to her with a relieved smile upon his face, but immediately, she turned her head away from him, again, placing the side of her face against his back. Naevia had curled back inside herself. Crixus again allowed the back of his head to rest on the top of hers – the closest thing to an embrace that he knew she would allow. It would suffice for now. They sat as they were, her wanting to fully embrace him, but her body betraying her. But he… he was satisfied, having no doubt that with patience and time they would once again be one.
