Claudita was right. The place was empty, but it was also tidy. The perfect place for he and Claudita to be. She led him through to an old fireplace which had a luscious dark rug lying in front of it.

"What are we doing here? We could get caught, you know that?" Cleitus told her, trying to sound serious. Claudita didn't care. She was with her husband, and she wanted him right then and there. She didn't answer him, instead stood in front of him and wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing him passionately.

"Claudita, what are you doing?" he asked her, this time wanting a response. Claudita pulled back from him, smiling.

"I want you to make love to me Cleitus. Right here, and now. I need you," she told him, moving back in and grabbing a hold of his toga in her fists, pulling him towards her and kissing him fiercely. Cleitus couldn't help but stumble a little, and he and Claudita ended up falling to the floor, and onto the dark rug.

"So that's a yes then I take it," Claudita smirked, leaning down on her husband's chest to unclasp his toga. Cleitus leant up and kissed her, before quickly flipping her underneath him. Her heart was racing. She could feel it pounding in her chest from the excitement and anticipation. This was so unexpected, and spontaneous. She liked it.

Cleitus lifted her toga from her ankles and slowly moved it to just above her waist, to allow him access. He ran his hands up her smooth legs, and onto her thighs, gently rubbing his thumb to her pelvis which he had learned last night drove her crazy. Claudita made quick work of his lower armory, removing it with ease to take him into her hand.

"Oh, Claudita," Cleitus groaned, as she continued to work on him. Before too long, Cleitus removed her hand from his erection and spread her legs wider, entering her in one quick thrust. Claudita leant her head back in pleasure at the feeling of Cleitus inside her. He began moving deeper and deeper inside, filling her completely. She loved being able to feel him inside her, completely. Cleitus looked down at his wife, and kissed her passionately.

"I love you Claudita, you're my life," he told her, as he started moving slowly inside her, continuing to kiss her lips, neck and breasts.

"Cleitus, I love you. I need you," she told him, before whispering, "Give me a child. Let me make you a father," Cleitus stopped moving altogether, and looked seriously into his wife's eyes.

"Are you sure, Claudita? Do you really want a child?" he asked her, slightly in disbelief that he was one step closer to his dream of becoming a father.

"Yes, Cleitus. I want you to give me a child," she told him. Cleitus smiled down at her widely, kissing her intensely as he began moving inside her again, faster and deeper and Claudita gripped his shoulders tightly and arched her back as her orgasm hit her. A few seconds later, Cleitus followed her over the edge as he emptied his seed inside of her. The two lay spent and exhausted on the rug in front of the old fireplace, listening to the sound of the people from outside.

"I suppose we should get up now, don't you think Claudita?" Cleitus asked, gazing across at his wife as he stroked her thighs. She shook her head.

"No, Cleitus. Please, can't we stay here a little longer? You have nowhere to be, and neither do I," she told him, before she quickly realized she did have somewhere else to be. Cleitus looked at her, and gently stroked her face.

"You have somewhere you need to be?" he asked, now disappointed. She nodded.

"With Hephaestion. I was helping him do his taxes before I came to meet you. He was the one who told me you were on a break, and I told him I'd go back to him. I promised," Claudita explained to her husband. Cleitus understood.

"Then go to him, help him finish his work. He'll need you," Cleitus told her, rubbing her face with the palm of his hand. She smiled brightly at him, and leant across him, kissing him deeply.

"I love you, you know that?" she asked. Cleitus smiled. He knew that she loved him. Claudita quickly adjusted her toga and straightened her hair, ready to leave.

"Are you going to stay here, Cleitus?" she asked him. He shook his head, and stood up, rearranging his own toga to make himself look like a respectable soldier. He held onto her hand as the two made their way out of the old blacksmith's house and back into the forum.

"I'll walk you there, to Hephaestion's," Cleitus told her. Claudita smiled, and linked his arm. She was so happy.
