Briseis continued to fly down the corridors unaware of Hector following her. Briseis burst into the chambers and looked at the guard drinking ale alone in the corner before running past him. The guard, much faster than his half drunken appearance suggested, jumped up and grabbed her roughly.

"No ones allowed to see the prisoner missy,"

"He is no longer a prisoner. I have negotiated his release with my UNCLE Priam,"

The guard quickly let go. To harm the niece of the King could be a bad mistake. Briseis saw doubt flicker in his eyes, and took a strong stance.

"Now step aside so I may release my husband,"

Hector appeared at her side and looked at the humbled guard.

"I had followed you to help you deal with the guard. I see I need not have bother," he laughed.

Hector subtly left the room so that Briseis and Achilles may have their reunion in private.

Briseis felt her heart racing as she stepped toward Achilles cell.

"What's wrong, dear heart?"

"Nothing, I am here to set you free, Priam has been persuaded to see sense."

Achilles felt his heart swell his wife was capable of anything! Briseis slipped the key of the hook on the wall and released Achilles. Who swiftly pulled her into his arms and began to kiss her lightly on the lips. Briseis responded and soon the gentle kiss was on full of love and passion. Achilles pulled away his breath coming in ragged gasps.

"I have missed you, Briseis,"

"And I you,"

Briseis snuggled her head into his chest and drew in his scent. Achilles held her tightly to him hurting her slightly, not that she minded she was enjoying being close to him and knowing he cared. Finally Briseis slipped out of his embrace and took hold of his hand, leading him out of the room.

"You should bathe and eat. Then I will take you on a tour of Troy, as a prince you should know the kingdom a little."

"Is that wise, I don't think your people will welcome me,"

"Let me deal with the people," she said as she gave him a swift teasing kiss on the lips.

The couple Walked hand in hand toward their rooms.

In his office Priam grew weary. His niece held his heart. A daughter he had always wished for, Briseis was a sensible girl and would make right of this mess. He had no doubt of that. Achilles would make a great General and Prince; the people however would not take lightly to having a Greek in their royal family, for that matter neither would the counsel. Priam had often hoped that Briseis would one day be Queen of Troy for she would rule with fairness and love, but he would never see a Greek a King of Troy!

Achilles sighed deeply and leaned back in the bathtub. The room was thick with steam and Briseis hair was damp from it. It stuck to her fore head and she tipped water over his chest and smiled. He could have lived in that moment forever, Briseis was beautiful. Briseis stood up from the edge of the bath.

"Time to get dressed," she announced.

Achilles groaned but knew better than to argue with his formidable little wife. Briseis took it the sight of Achilles naked body as she handed him a towel. Achilles smiled at her innocent appraisal. He grabbed her and pulled her close, giving her messy kisses all over her face and neck. Briseis drew away giggling and slapped him playfully.

"Come, eat," she urged.

Achilles slipped on a light blue toga skirt and Briseis led him to a table on the balcony laden with fruit. Achilles sat and Briseis perched on his knee and held out a slice of melon for him to eat. Achilles leaned in and took a bite his eye contact with Briseis never breaking. Briseis felt her heart lurch.

After Achilles had finished eating. Briseis handed him a matching top to go with his loose toga skirt. Achilles threw her a questioning look; in Greece men walk topless often. Briseis nodded.

"I don't want other girls seeing my prize," she smiled innocently.

Achilles laughed, and pulled her close once more planting a tender and loving kiss on her lips.

"Aphrodite, her self could not make me stray from you side, my love"

Briseis blushed and slipped her hand into Achilles rough and calloused grip. They couple out in to the palace gardens. Briseis took Achilles to all the most beautiful spots the palace gardens had to offer.

"I thought you wanted Troy, to meet it's knew Prince?"

"Yes, but I want time to get better acquainted to with my husband, I am yet to get used to it,"

"Ah, we have a lifetime for that,"

He slipped his arm around her wais and she kissed his neck teasingly.

"Mmm" Achilles mumbled.

Briseis led Achilles back to their rooms with a devilish glint in her eye. Briseis fell back on the large bed laughing as Achilles followed her sliding his top over his head. Briseis splayed her hands over his chest, noticing how pale she was next to his tanned skin. Achilles picked up her hand and laid a kiss in her palm. Briseis laid her hands on his face and pulled him towards her. Achilles began to kiss her deeply assisting her to remove her toga at the same time. Briseis let her hands stray under Achilles waistband. Causing him to draw ragged breathes. Achilles kissed every inch of Briseis body and worshiped her as if she was a temple. Bringing them both to an intense climax full of love and the promise of forever.
