Harry's head spun even when his eyes were closed. Long distance portkey travel was even harder then local. He had sworn he would not make a fool out of himself. But he would have fallen on his face if his husband had not caught him. But as Lucius' arms steadied him he felt sick to his stomach. The tension of the past twenty four hours already had his stomach in knots. They were in the garden and he barely made it to a corner before he threw up. He was not impressed when he heard his husband chuckling behind him. He felt like hexing the man.

He glared at his husband when his head cleared. "Oh you sure are winning me over. Could you at the very least grab me some water."

Lucius smirked but he did summon water and hand it to Harry. "It is not my fault if my husband can't handle some simple portkey travel. Have that so I can kiss you."

For a moment Harry felt like dumping it out. If having thrown up would keep his husband from kissing him he was tempted to. But he didn't. He needed the water. And he knew his husband would not remain at bay very long. He drank down the cool water. He had to admit it felt better and his head began to clear. He really wished that had not happened. He was sure impressing his husband. He didn't really care. Other then the fact that he did not want to be embarrassed more.

Lucius steered him inside. "This is my family villa in Rome. We will be staying here for our stay. I assume you can handle apparition better then portkey travel."

Harry smirked at his husband. "Oh don't worry next time I am sick to my stomach I will make sure to aim for your robes and expensive shoes instead of the dirt."

Lucius was not impressed with the comment. He pointed out anyway that they would be in the muggle world for their honeymoon. He would not be in his robes. But he promised if Harry intentionally aimed for his expensive Italian shoes he would be hand washing them himself. Harry sighed and assured his husband that while he was no more fond of apparition then portkey travel he was better. Lucius seemed to accept that.

He led Harry into an ornate bedroom. "This is our master suite my little love. I do wish we could christen the bed properly but maybe we will come back some day."

Harry felt absolutely uncomfortable that close to the bed with the talk. "If you are not going to bed me can we please leave?"

Lucius pulled him in close. "Oh little one we will be bedding and properly tonight. There is more to it then sex. But I assume we can go and see some of the city."

Cringing at the words Harry just wanted out of there. His husband sent him into the bathroom to freshen up. He splashed some water on his face. He was surprised when a house elf appeared with some warm milk to settle his stomach down. He was grateful for it and drank down the warm milk. He was trying to calm down his breathing when there was a knock at the bathroom door.

Lucius called. "Don't go making a habit little one of hiding in the bathroom. I do not plan on breaking into another one. Time to come out or we go to bed now."

Harry took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom. "Fine. There. Are you happy now?"

Lucius dragged him into his arms and tilted his head up for a kiss. Like the kiss at their wedding the kiss was forceful and invasive and the arm tight around his waist kept him in place and stopped him from getting away from his husband. His lower lip was tugged on until he opened his mouth and allowed his husband's tongue in. He fought back the revulsion and fear as the man continued his assault. The mouth left his but it went to his earlobe and neck. Harry tried to protest, to pull away but the arm just tightened and the other hand went to the back of his neck and kept him in place.

Finally Lucius drew away enough to look at him. "Just a taste of what to expect tonight. Now we have some plans for your first little day in Italy."

Harry tried to pull away from his husband but Lucius kept a firm grip on his arm as he steered Harry out of the rooms and through the manor. "I can't wait."

Lucius surprised him by taking him down for a cab. "Little lion Rome is a beautiful city and even with your protesting I am sure you might actually enjoy some of it."

Harry snorted but he let himself be helped into the car. He never expected something so mundane from his husband. He assumed Lucius could manage muggle life a bit. He knew little of Rome really. He remembered a bit from his studies in school. He was a bit surprised when they arrived at the coliseum. He was reminded they often used lions. He wondered if his husband had been inspired by that. But that would mean his husband actually thought about him at all. As his husband took him on a personal tour of the coliseum he knew Lucius was just trying to show off to him. Harry had to admit it was interesting. He just wished he was there with someone else.

Lucius took him to a small bistro for dinner. "Now my little lion didn't I tell you Rome was amazing. I thought the coliseum was fitting for my green eyed lion."

Harry was surprised to hear that he had been right on the inspiration. "I guess."

Ordering them both dinner, Lucius choosing for him, Lucius held another one way conversation. He spent dinner and dessert of tiramisu telling Harry about his plans for their honeymoon. Harry would have thought it sounded exciting if he was not doing it with his husband. They would be going to Naples and Florence, to a villa in Tuscany and they would head for Venice the next day.

Lucius kissed him. "The canals of Venice are extremely romantic you know. I can just see us sailing down the canals in out little boat."

Harry smirked. "I would think you'd be worried that I would push you over board."

Lucius pulled him up and in close for a kiss but whispered. "What did we say about manners little one? I don't care if we are in muggle Rome. You will behave."

Just for show Lucius did kiss him hard and then when they were in private this time he apparated them back to the estate, right into the bedroom. He motioned Harry to the bathroom to prepare for bed but he gave Harry a time limit and reminded him that he would not be pleased to once again have to fetch his husband from the bathroom. Harry found some silk bottoms waiting for him and he changed and folded his clothes and went back out.

Lucius drew him in. "I am very happy little one you have come out on your own this time. I really did not want to have to come in for you once again."

Harry felt the man's hands along his boxers. "Why did you give me something to wear if you were just going to strip me right away?"

Lucius smiled. "Ah little one it makes it more fun. Besides I didn't want you to be all uncomfortable and blushing right away."

He led Harry towards the bed where he lowered him down against the pillows. When his husband bent down to kiss him he turned his head away. It did not dissuade his husband at all. Lucius' mouth simply went to his earlobe instead. Harry fought to hid a moan as his husband tugged on it. The mouth continued the attack down his neck. His husband's hands were busy. One was playing with one of his nipples and the other traced his cock but outside of his boxers. Harry hissed as the teeth sunk into one of his nipples and he let out a sob as Lucius' hand went under the material of his boxers. He went rigid as flashbacks came running through his head. He turned and buried his head into the pillows not wanting Lucius to see he was getting to him. Lucius surprised him by stopping when Harry let out a small sob when Lucius had moved to remove Harry's boxers.

Lucius came to his head and pulled him into a hard kiss. "Very well my green eyes, I'll go no further tonight. Sleep my little husband. We are off to Venice tomorrow."
