The next day Caligula and his sister went into the Temple of Isis to find a bride which turned out to be harder then he expected. He thought it would be easy to pick a wife but it turned out he was very wrong. When ever he picked one his sister would always find a flaw. "She's already taken…..she's a virgin…..she likes girls only," so on and so forth.
"You're impossible, sister. How am I going to get a wife if you keep pointing-" he stopped for a moment. He laid his eyes upon a woman with long brown hair and blue eyes so dark they almost looked black. At first he thought it was Artemis but he thought better of it. "I don't walk into another deity's temple unless they ask me," was Artemis's response when he asked why he wouldn't walk into the Temple of Isis with him to bless his new rule as Caesar.
True it wasn't his Artemis but it was close enough. "That I'll have as my wife," he said pointing at his possible bride-to-be.
"Not Caesonia, she's one of the most promiscuous woman in Rome."
"Ah, that makes it perfect then," he said putting a final say on the subject. "Brother, you can find other girls besides this one. You don't know were she's been."
"She's been with every man but me. Now leave us alone," he said rather harshly. By seeing how hurt she looked he pulled her close with a much gentler voice. "I'll make this up to you later. If I don't like her then I won't marry her. Sound fair." Drusilla nodded her head and went back to the palace. Little did she know Artemis was watching them.
Once they left to find a bride she followed them wanting to help Caligula pick out a bride but was held back once she reached the Temple of Isis. She wasn't allowed to set foot in a God or Goddess's Temple without their say and Artemis doubted Isis would grant her access to any of her holy places. When the world was very new Isis brother Osiris tried to seduce Artemis into his bed. When Artemis said no he tried to rape her only he ended up being chopped to bits and scattered every place on the new Earth. Isis demanded she put her brother back together but she refused and Zeus defended her strongly. To this day Isis still has a feud with the huntress.
She waited in a tree about a foot away from the Temple for almost half the day until she saw Drusilla come out of the palace alone. His sister looked very upset. Artemis didn't blame her for being jealous, she saw her own brother be with other woman both mortal and immortal all the time yet Apollo always wonders why Artemis wouldn't sleep with him. Thirty minutes later Caligula came out with a high priestess by his side. She listened closely to their conversation.
"I think you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, Caesonia. I believe you'll make a fine Empress of Rome but only under one condition." Of course there's a catch, thought Artemis. She had seen the Caesar's marry over the years and it isn't because of love they are binding each other till death they part.
"What is that, my Lord?"
"Before you become my wife I want you to bare my son." Artemis could see the look of protest on her face, it was already screaming no. Even though Caligula was Caesar and he could have anything he wants Artemis wanted to make things easier for the both of them. In one quick movement she was out of the tree and into the body of Caesonia. "My….she's very experienced," said Artemis as she quickly went though her memories. The woman by the name Caesonia lost her virginity at 12, had been into brothels for most of her life until she became a worshipper of the Goddess Isis at 17 then later a high priestess at 21. Isis was not going to like the fact Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt was occupying one of Isis's most trusted worshippers.
Caligula looked at her concern, she was acting very strangely. "Are you alright, Caesonia?"
"I'm alright, Cal," she said commanding herself to look at him. He looked into her eyes, they were the same dark blue but there was something different about them, more alive. Also there was the way she said his name, no body ever called him Cal except for one. "Missy? Is that you?"
"Course it's me, Cal. Who else can it be?"
"So….how's Caesonia?"
"Very loose but very…disconnected. Even if she said yes she'll only close herself up once you take her." Caligula sighed feeling very tired. All day he had been hunting for a possible bride only to pick one that was hollow. He loved his woman to be more….responsive. Feeling the silence between them Artemis decided to break the ice. "You know I can be in the body of any woman you desire."
"Yes, but this one is hollow. Sure I need a vessel for an hire but at least I want to be able to enjoy it."
"I said she was disconnected in bed but not in everything else. She'll actually make a wonderful mother for your child." This part was true, she had looked into Caesonia's memories. She has made a wonderful mid-wife for mother's-to-be and has help look after the children before. Considering what Artemis said he decided to keep Caesonia under one condition, that Artemis be present when he wanted to have his way with her.
"Before you possessed her, I told her she can be my wife…."
"If she bore you a son, I know, I heard you up in the tree," she said pointing up at her hiding place. By seeing the tree Caligula got an idea of 'help making an hire'. "Well, since you heard me….." He lifted her up her feet bridle style, kissing her while walking her to the tree. No one was around to see them so it was perfect for what they were about to do.
They made a bed out of their clothes for them to lay on. Having her comfortable he was on top of her kissing her gently while caressing her body. When she started grinding her hips against his he knew she was ready. Slowly, gently he went inside her. It wasn't a first for Caesonia but it was kind of different for Artemis. She had been in the bodies of mistresses and wives of Caesars, none of them where as special as what Caligula was doing now to her.
The moment was wonderful between the both of them. For Artemis the sex for the first time was enjoyable, at least through another person as for Caligula it felt (besides his sister) it felt meaningful. As they rested in each other's arms feeling very blissful the Goddess Isis was watching. She was very furious indeed.
