Prologue
~1236 B.C. ~
"I said get this clean up right now! Or I will have you beaten again for your insolence." A pudgy heavy set dark haired man yelled in rage at ten year old, Aiketerina as she scrambles among broken pieces of clay pottery and ink in her father's small mud brick home in the open country side of Rome's capital, Athens Greece.
She had been learning how to read and write in her room secretly when his brother, her uncle Gavis, had barged in on her and went into a full fit rage as he saw what she was doing. He had broken every single pot and writing brushes in less than two minutes before turning on her. Aikiterina had saved up her savings for those writing utensils for almost a full summer's worth of working at the library in the city of Athens.
All of it gone in two minutes by a enraged uncle who cared little for a woman or girl of her status to learn how to read and write. She silently did as he ordered her to do and fought to not cry in fear of more retribution from him. Akiaterina lost track of how many times, she has been subjected to to her uncle's beatings since he came home from the war with Persia. There were even times that her father had to stop him from almost fucking killing her. Every night he would come in when she would be sleep and terrorize her with his inhuman beating and sexual touching of her rapidly growing body into adolescence. She couldn't do anything about it at all for one because she was a girl and all females were treated like second class citizen in the customs of Greek society; and two, because she couldn't talk.
She was born mute and her family wanted to dispose of her, when her her father and mother had desired not to let their daughter be killed by the outside elements. The old elder wanted to have her killed anyways but she was saved by the old medcine woman of their village by telling them all that Aikiterina was protected by the sun god, Helios and moon goddess, Artemis and that if they follwoed through, the whole village would suffer their wrath. so he let her live and her parents protected her from harm.
instead,they nurtured and taught her how to use Greek sign language. life was pretty good in their little Greek farm home out in the countryside until one month three years ago, a deadly disease passed though the land, killing her mother when she was only five and almost all of their livestock with it. Then a famine and drought passed by close after the horrible event, leaving her father to stat over from scratch and have his brother, who was a conciliar member, to come live with gave the farm an extra pair of helping hands.
Her uncle gave her a savage kick in the ribs and punched her face with his hard fist. "Stupid girl! i will have you flogged in front of the whole village if you do something like this again." he snarled as he walked out of her room and locked the door behind him. Aiketerina curled up in a tight ball in the dirt floor and lay there, silently crying at the loss of her precious writing kit. It was forbidden for her to learn how to read or write, because it would make her a Independence girl over her male superiors in society.
she closed her blue eyes and rolled onto her side that was not painful. Her deep purple furred lined stola that belonged to her dead mother, lay within reach of her hand on her sleeping mat. She reached out and covered her small body with it until only her head was left exposed and fell into a uneasy sleep that was filled with dreams of a boy and crimson eyes.
the next day~ Akiterina awoke to a loud shout and scffeling in the main room of the house. She scrambled to her feet and ran into the dining room to find her father and uncle fist fighting as they lunged at each other.
"You basterd! how DARE you lay your filthy hands on my daughter without valid reason. You don't have that right! I only have that right to see that she is punished properly with valid conditions!" He father yelled at his brother. Her uncle smirked evilly before taking a swing at his face with a heavy fist.
"That mute bitch of a daughter of yours, has been learning how to read and write behind our backs. So what now?" he taunted. Aikiterina fled the home as fast as her small legs could carry her through the wheat fields and into the dark forest ahead. I don't want to be beaten anymore. she cried in her head as she plunged into the lush forest and brushed up agiast tree branches and ferns. she was so occupied with running away, that she didn't see the arrow that came her way until she felt a hot blast of pain shot through her left shoulder. She fell on the dirt path howling in pain as she felt the warm blood seep through her toga. She heard a shout of alarm as rapid footsteps come over to where she lay with her eyes closed.
"Gods! i shot a little girl." a young boy's voice said near her head. She tried to open her eyes and saw a plae boy with long white/blond hair and greyish blue eyes, knelt down and touche her shoulder where the arrow was pertuding from. Aikterina cried out in pain at the gentle prodding of his slender fingers. "Shhh, it all right now, luckly for you, its only shallow and i missed your vital organs." he said as he ripped a strip of her toga and used that to help stem the flow of blood. she fainted in a swoon as he hoidted her up in his arms and swiftly ran through the forest.
Aikiterina slowly opened her eyes and looked up in fear as a pair of greyblue eyes looked down at her with deep concern within them. She tried to sit up, but a peir of strong hands pushed her gently back down onto her back. "Lie back donw sweetheard." The boy said as a young woman entered the room with a tray full of food. Aikiterina's mouth watered as she watched the woman aproched the bed with a concern look on her fair face. She felt her stomach growl like a roaring lion as the young blond approched her bedside and place the tray on a low table next to a pitcher of water.
"You poor child, here is some warm food to help tide you over until dinner." She pointed to the blond boy. "By the way, my name is Thena and this here is my brother, Caius. He brought you here after accidently shooting you in the shoulder when he mistook you for an animal." Caius cleared his throat and took a seat on the edge of the bed beside Aiketirina's legs.
He picked up a piece of flat barley bread and soaked the piece in what smelled like, lamb's broth before handing it to the little girl with a warm smile of his pale face. Aiketerina grabbed the offered bread and scarfed it down hungrily while he picked up the bowl of lamb's broth and began to spoon feed her. Thena smiled in approval and excused herself from the room saying that she needed to take care of the evening chores before fixing their dinner. While Caius patiently fed Aikiterina her food, he talked about his sister and him and how Thena nursed her back to health with her herbs from the garden she grew, thought that Aiketirin was a runaway girl from somewhere.
"Your bruises told us the story and she felt that if you like, you can live with us as family for as long as you desire." He said while helping her with a clay cup full of cold water. Aiketerina kept her eyes averted from his as her thought wandered about his proposal of her living with them. It wouldn't be so bad and at least she didn't have a voice to tell them about her real life as an abused niece of a drunken uncle. Caius put down her cup and laid beside her with one of his arms around her shoulders. She leaned against him with her head on his shoulder and listen to his life story of his family.
"Our parents had died from the disease that swept through here several years back and all that was left was me, my sister and a few goats and sheep that managed to survive it. It's been really hard since then for both me and sis, but we kept working together with the wheat and barley harvest until the crops became stronger and more bountiful to sell for money in local market."
Aikterina gestured to a round medallion with the sun engraved with real gold that hung around his neck on a leather thong. He reached up and slid it off his neck and placed it around her's with a small smile. "This is my protector symbol, the sun gives light to all and makes things beautiful for all to enjoy. You can wear it. It sparkles in the sun rays like fire and in the moon, gives off a soft glow like moonbeams." Aikiterina shook her head no and tried to take it off, but he firmly held her hands with one of his. "It will protect you like it has for me, and that way you won't get hurt when I am hunting."
Aikiterina touched the medallion with a finger and gave him a childish kiss on the cheek. The pale boy blushed deep red that reached the roots of his forehead. He cot up from the bed with a sigh. "I have to get the goats and tend to them for alittle while before Thena gets supper on the table for us." Caius picked up the tray with one hand as he felt her forehead with the other.
"Rest for a while, by the way, what is your name?" The girl signed using the Greek alphabet to show him her name. His grey eyes lit up slightly in the sunlight as he tilted his head to one side. "Aikterina, such a beautiful name for a girl like you." He murmured.
She blushed slightly at the praise for her birth name. He pulled his warm hand away from her as he took a step back. "I am going to sleep on the floor in here tonight, my room is upstairs in my parents old master bedroom, but just want to make sure that you're feeling better tonight and will sleep well once you get use to your new home." He smiled at her and left the room. Aikiterina lay back on her good side and looked up at the low ceiling above her head. Father must be looking frantically for her. She just had this funny feeling that she didn't really want to leave her new family and life here with Caius. She was tired of being the sexual whim of her uncle when he was drunk and having to endure his beatings in silent rave out of fear of another beating from him. She sighed sadly and hoped for the best for her own family without her as she tried to drift off to sleep with thoughts on her own future became cloudy.
~Eight years later~
Aikiterina helped Caius round up the goats and sheep in the nearby pasture as the cool summer evening came in with cool breezes and bright twinkling stars above, piercing the heavens with their soft glow like millions of sparkling jewels. Caius had grown into a fine looking young man with his long blondish white hair and tanned, lean, hard muscular body that spoke of hidden power and inner strength. He had grown tall at almost six foot while she remained only coming up at his mid chest at five foot three. She had always marveled when he went about his tasks with grace as they grew up together with him and sister at their working farm and home. Aikiterina had grown into a young woman with soft, shapely curves and fair tanned skin, long blond wavy hair and sharp dark blue eyes that missed nothing. She was petite figured, but made up for that with her long legs and strong slender arms from working hard in the fields with Caius and Thena, his older sister. Caius called out the names of the goats as they gathered the flocks and guided them into the large log and brick pen that they stayed in at night. Akiterina mentally counted each one as they baaed loudly while they passed by the gate. Caius closed the heavy log gate and secured the chain with a deep sigh of relief. "That's the last of them Rina." He grinned.
The young woman smiled back as she came back with a large red colored clay pitcher and bowl in her hands. She put them down next to a low bench near them and handed Caius a soap bar along with a soft towel to wash himself with. Caius pulled off his dusty tunic shirt, tossing it on the ground as he sat down on the bench with a slight grunt. Aikiterina blushed a rosy pink color at the glorious sight of his naked chest and abs while he cupped water into his hands and poured it over his sweaty body. Caius's abs rippled slightly as he soaped his cloth up and began to clean off the day's dirt and grime from his body. As he washed, Aikiterina silently signed him her day's story of what her and Thena did while he took care of the flocks. They had gone to the busy market place for fresh fish, vegetables and new herbs for medicine to help ease Aikiterina's monthly cramps. During their long day of walking around at each shop, she had come across a shop that sold jewelry, stola's , perfume, and tunics dresses for women in all kinds of fabric and vivid colors. She liked a particular very white and sheer tunic dress, that she bought it for a bargain price that was really good and decided to wear it for bed because just how delicate and see through it was. The young woman paused for a moment to reach into the folds of her tunic and withdrew a small leather wrapped package from within. She signed to him that it was something special she wanted to give him to show her appreciation for his kindness to her over the years of her living with him and his sister. Caius poured the rest of the water out from the pitcher over his head and body before putting it down on the ground, before accepting her gift from her. "What is this Rina?" he asked in surprise as he gently unwrapped the package and gasping in surprise at what lay within.
She only smiled widely at him. It was almost the exact same necklace that he gave her years ago, but this one instead, had the full moon and rays that shown soft silver in the moon light from above. The engraving was made out of pure silver and had a single small ruby in the middle that glowed a fiery red. Caius slipped it on and gave her a big hug. "You didn't have to do that Rina, but thank you very much, it very beautiful." She giggled slightly when he gently poked her in the ribs with a playful finger.
"I wish you could speak right now." He said wistfully as she picked up his dirty tunic and gathered the empty pitcher and bowl. She walked away to a nearby table and put them down before turning back to him. Caius got up and walked up to her, placing his big hands over her slender shoulders. Her blue eyes widened slightly as she felt the nearness of his warmth from his body wash over her like a tidal wave, leaving her feeling rather strange inside. Achy for something but she didn't know what she wanted.
"Akiterina, I know you have been living with us for eight years now since my accidental of not watching closely at what I was shooting at." He said softly with a grin. "And Thena and I have been really blessed by the gods for having you in our lives. But, I wonder…if you feel happy with us."
She put a hand over her heart for a moment before placing it over his own beating heart. "Yes, I know you are happy, but I meant…happy as in being married and having a family with someone special." Caius gently touched her collarbone with his right hands and caressed the spot where her pulse beat rapidly against his warm touch. Her breath hitched a notch as he pulled at one of her leather thongs that kept her dress tied at the shoulder until it slipped half way off, exposing her bare shoulder and breast to his gaze and the cool evening air as he watched her pink nipple puckered to a hard point. With a soft growl, he pulled her towards him and buried his face in her lavender scented hair. "I have feelings for you Rina." He said against her hair. "Not brotherly feelings, but rather feelings of pure love for you." He kissed her throat and shoulder, suckling the skin as he made his way down to her breast before taking the nipple into his mouth and suckling gently, but with passion as she held onto his bare shoulders and moaned softly at his touch. Caius moved his hands down to her slender waist as she inhaled his male scent of sweat and man as he assaulted her senses. Aikiterina could feel her world move in every direction as she tried to keep a cool head of what he was doing to her.
"I want to be with you Rina. Ever since I took you from the forest and brought you here to my home and sister, I knew in my heart and soul, that you were mine and made only for me." She trembled under his words as he straighten back up and gazed into her own eyes. She could see the compassion, understanding, love and commitment as he smiled at her. He bent his blond head towards her, giving her time to pull away from him before capturing her mouth with a earth shattering kiss that stole her breath away. Aikiterina signed against his hand. "Don't have to worry about that, Thena and I talked about this matter a while back and she's willing to accept you as her sister -in –law." He laughed when he pulled his head up from her. She smiled and ran her hands over his brow and high cheek bones, before he took ahold of her fingers and kissed them individually. "Say you will be my wife and lover forever Agape." He whispered.
Aikterina opened her mouth but abruptly shut it when she recalled that she couldn't speak. Instead, she took a step back into a shaft of moonlight and slowly reached up to pull the rest of the leather thongs from her shoulders. The tunic softly dropped from her slender body, fully exposing her to the cool elements as a soft breeze swept over her body causing her to shiver slightly from the coolness. Caius felt his body harden in his leather breeches to the point of almost pain as he reached out and gathered her into his strong arms and carried her off into the quiet house. She wrapped her arms around his neck as made his way through the darken house. Thena had told her earlier that she was very tired from the long day of walking to and fro home and so was retiring early to bed. They silently passed by her room and Aikiterina's as he mounted the stairs that led to the second floor. His master bedroom stood down the short hallway under the shadows of a stone archway. Caius opened the door to his room and walked in, closing the door with his sandaled foot. He walked up to his large bed and gently lowered her on top of his fur blankets before stepping away to unlace his breeches and untie his sandals off his feet.
Aikiterina blushed red hot in the face as she laid eyes on his thick, stiffened manhood as he turned towards her and climbed into the bed on all fours like a preying predator of the night. She crawled backwards as he came closer until she felt the coolness of the headboard on her heated back. Caius reached out, pulling her down onto her back and kissed her passionately, as she raked her fingers through his long, damp hair. She gasped sharply as he pulled away slightly, taking her hardened nipple into his mouth and suckling gently at first before alternating between with lit, firm nips that sent sparks of pleasure down her body to settle in her womb. Aikiterina could feel the building tension both her own body and his as she ran her hands from his silky locks, down his shoulder, and farther down to his back and butt. Caius moaned and nipped harder over her nipples causing her to buck her hips against his. Her juices poured from her body as she silently begged him to touch her body. His manhood brushed against her inner thighs as she bucked again sending him to gasp on her skin. She signed on his sweating back with both of her hands.
Caius looked up at her with a sly smirk on his flushed lips. "Getting a bit demanding, love, are we here?"
He laughed as he rolled onto his back and pulled her on top of his stomach. "Sorry to disappoint you Agape, but you have to treat me first after I do this to you." He urged her to move over his mouth until she hovered over him with spread legs. Aikiterina closed her eyes as she held onto the headboard and silently screamed when she felt something warm and moist lick her inner thighs before suckling her damp folds with care. "Just feel it, Rina, I won't hurt you. Gods, you taste sweet." He moaned against her. His love bucked wildly as he flicked her engorged clitoris with his tongue and suckled hard before thrusting deep into her womanhood. She cried out hoarsely and tossed her head back and forth as he drove her over the edge with his mouth. Caius allowed her to come three times before thrusting his fingers inside and stroking her g-spot until the bed shook with her trembling from her orgasms. "Come here," He ordered shakily with tight need as she felt him pull her down his body until she was laying an inch from his manhood. She giggled slightly with understanding of what was about to come as he guided her mouth towards the deep purple, mushroomed shaped head.
"Suckle me; show me what your fiery mind can do to mine." He whispered in a seductive voice. His head hit the bed hard as she timidly at first, tongue the head and then with growing, heated, drawn strokes that nearly destroyed his control. "Fuck. Harder…oh gods your wonderful, yes! Suck it!" Caius bucked hard when Aikiterina ran her tongue along his length before tasting the salty precum from the tint slit and taking him as deep as she could get him in her mouth. Her hunger grew with each stroke she gave him as she fought to have him do what he did to her. She wanted to taste more of his masculine, salty taste in her mouth, the hard spurt of his seed as he came with a furiousness that could make her orgasm right there. Caius could feel his control slip with each passing second as his body tightened to the point of release. His balls bunched under the base of his manhood as she gave him what he asked for. Sweat dripped down his face and body as he watched her innocent mouth take him. Her soft, sweat covered skin glistened in the moonlight. The necklace around her neck, glowing a pale bluish, white light, casting its light over his body with its warm rays. "Gods! I'm going to come, Rina." He cried as he felt everything just spin totally out of control.
He held her head in place as he thrust into her moist mouth and shot his seed down her throat. Aikiterina moaned as she tasted his release on her tongue and suckled harder for more. His hands tightened in her hair as he gave one final big pulse in her mouth before collapsing on the bed with heaving breaths. Caius growled when he saw her sit up and licking his seed from her lips with smug smile. She sighed to him. Caius snorted indignantly. "Yes, I know I am not finished Rina. Just give me a second to recover my dignity." She touched her breast with her hands, cupping them before flicking her harden nipples between her thumb and index finger. Caius harden instantly as he watched with growing lust as she closed her blue eyes and trailed her hands up and down her neck before continuing downward toward her slightly round belly and slipping her fingers into her wet slick womanhood. She pumped her finger slowly as she boldly opened her eyes to look at his flushed face as she pleasured herself to the brink of ecstasy. Cauis sat up abruptly grabbing her arm and tossing her onto her back. "No, I get to do that and this." She smile and the rolled her eyes back as he began to gently and slowly push his thick manhood into her lush, ultra tight, warm and wet cavern before he pause against her barrier proof of virginity. Caius took a deep breath, twining his long fingers in hers as he thrust swiftly past her virginity. Aikiterina's eyes watered slightly as she felt him break past and fill her to the hilt. Pain burned momentarily in her stomach before settling in her groin area for a moment. He remained motionless for several long minutes as he allowed her time to adjust to his girth. "Rina agape, are you in pain?" he tenderly asked while he felt her inner muscles clinch his body with a tightness that left him feeling breathless. She nodded her head, biting her lip as he slowly moved halfway out before plunging back in with a deep groan of pure ecstasy. She let go of his hands and ran her own slowly up and down his sweaty back as she lifted her long legs around his lean torso and locking her ankles together as he continued to thrust into her body. Aikiterina wordlessly cried out and bucked her hips against his as he continued heavily moved with hard strokes that sent her mind careening from the rapture of pure pleasure of him making her his wife and soul mate. She wildly signed against his back, urging him to give her more. Caius reared onto his knees and threw her legs over his shoulders as he thrust inside from a different angle. She arched her back up from the bed as she felt the tension building in her womb like wild fire. The wet slapping sound of their joined flesh coming together loudly echoed in the room along with his harsh moan as he felt his seed begin to shoot into her warm caver and up to her waiting womb. She dug her nails into his hard thighs, bucking wildly with strangled moans from her throat as he plunged one last time into her with a harsh cry of victory and final release before collapsing on his side next to her with sweat running down his temples and body. Aikiterina let her legs weakly fall from his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed her softly on her eyelids and brow with a tender look in his dark grey eyes. "I love you for a million lifetimes and after that." He said softly with a smile. Caius picked her up slightly off the bed so that he could reach for the furrs and col satin sheets that lay beneath them and cover their rapidly cooling bodies with them. Aikiterina kissed him deeply before snuggling her body around him and drifting into a peaceful sleep next to her one and only true love. I would follow you too Caius into eternity to be with you forever.
Two years later~
Nie! He can't be dead Thena! Aikiterina signed frantically. A sharp pain erupted in her abdomen as she fought to remain in consciousness through the first birth of her husband's baby. Caius had gone to war in Greece's roman army as a draftee for their large army against the kingdom of Persia ten months ago. He had written less than two days ago, saying that he was going to be home in a week and could not wait to hold his fist child in his arms. Thena held in her hands the solid proof of his death. The medallion that his young wife had given him two and half years ago on their first night together. Aikiterina felt her world break into millions of pieces as she gazed upon the one thing he would never part with, except in death. No, he can't be dead, gods why! Why did you take him from me! Her sister in law fought back tears as she and a midwife from the village, worked together to help Aikiterina have her baby. She pushed hard as she felt the baby emerge from her body and into the waiting arms of the midwife. The baby cried loudly as she work for a moment to partially clean it up before gently handing the baby into Thena's arms.
"It's a baby boy." She said amide her own tears of sorrow for the loss of two women.
Thena brought the baby boy over to her sister and laid him in her arms. "it's a little boy Rina. A healthy baby boy with Caius's grey eyes and your gold hair." Aikiterina forced herself to open her eyes and looked apon her dead husband's son. She weakly kissed his head and signed that she would always love him before pulling off her own necklace and handing it over with the baby into Thena's arms. She signed weakly that he should have both of them when the time was right and carry through the next generations after that. Her sister shook her head at her as the midwife came over and took her nephew out if her arms with an alarmed look in her kind eyes.
"No! Rina you're not going to die! The baby needs you, to grow into a fine young man. Please!" the midwife felt the ailing mother's forehead. "She's not going to last Thena. The physical pain and that of her husband's death is too much for her to bear."
She screamed out in denial as Aikiterina began to feel light headed. Her hand dropped onto the coverlet as she drifted toward the darkness that was starting to creep upon her like a thick blanket of nothingness.
Caius, I'm following you now and soon, you and I will be together forever with the Gods in heaven. Her world went completely black and she knew no more.
