Claudita reached up behind her and grabbed the fur from the stone bench, as she placed it on the floor behind her and leant back down. Hephaestion removed his armour and placed it on the floor beside them, before lying down between Claudita's thighs. They continued to kiss, as he made his way from her mouth, to her jaw and down to her neck, all the while removing her toga, as she proceeded to remove his remaining items of clothing until they both lay together naked on the floor of the hut. Hephaestion had incredibly broad shoulders, and he was incredibly muscular. Very different to Cleitus, Claudita noted. His lips were full and flushed from their kissing, and his thighs and buttocks were strong and soft.
"Claudita, I love you. You are beautiful to me, so delicate and vulnerable. I want to keep you safe." Hephaestion told her, as his lips met with hers again. As they continued to kiss and caress each other, Claudita felt Hephaestion's arousal against her inner thighs and her heart beat faster, knowing what was to come.
"Phai… Make love to me," Claudita said, almost pleading with him as she ran her fingers through his long hair and kissed him deeply. Hephaestion did not need her to ask him twice. He had waited too long for this moment and was not going to spoil it. He kissed along her neck before he locked eyes with her and stroked her cheek. Claudita felt him near her entrance, and looked into his eyes as he entered her deeply. Claudita took a sharp intake of breath and arched her back when she felt him inside her, and gripped his shoulders tightly. Hephaestion was a lot larger than Cleitus, and Claudita needed a moment to adjust to his size. He then pulled out of her and slowly thrust into her again. This time, Claudita felt more accustomed to him and began to move her hips in time with his as he started to move deeper inside her. Hephaestion making love to her was unlike anything she had experienced with Cleitus; it did not come close. Hephaestion was strong and passionate, yet ever so gentle with her.
He kissed her as she had always wanted to be kissed. She felt his love for her as he pulled her up and onto him, Claudita sitting on him as he sat upright on the floor – all the while still moving deeply inside her as she held him tightly and allowed him to kiss every inch of her exposed skin. She felt comfortable with Hephaestion, running her fingers through his long hair. The two could not get close enough to one another. Sitting in his lap with him inside her, Claudita found her body responding in the most pleasurable way to him. He was beginning to make her feel things she had not experienced with Cleitus. Hephaestion knew how to satisfy her. He gently lay her back down on the fur and began to move slower, and more steadily as he felt his climax approaching. He wanted to hold off and ensure Claudita's satisfaction first, so he began to gently tease at her most inner parts as he continued his movements. It wasn't long before Claudita kissed him strongly and moaned beautifully as she was overcome with an intense feeling of pleasure bleeding its way through her core. She shuddered softly as Hephaestion continued to satisfy her until he himself was filled with the same feeling, and allowed himself to let go inside of Claudita.
The two lay quietly on the fur as they got their breath back after their love making. As much as he wanted to stay with her like that forever, Hephaestion's mind soon began to wander to Cleitus – her husband. Claudita sensed the tension from him, and gently rubbed his chest as he lay next to her, eyes fixed on the roof of the small hut.
"Phai?" she asked him as he continued to gaze at the ceiling. He turned his head to look at her and pulled her into him tightly, kissing her forehead as she drew lines along his sweaty torso with her finger.
"I'm in love with you," was all that he could say.
