She is radiant. She is beautiful. She is the best thing to happen to me. But all that we are is forbidden. Slave and master? Unheard of! Of course, there is the occasional rape of a slave, but I have stolen nothing from her, nor her I. If you don't count my heart, that is.
I, Caecilius Lucius Iucundus, am in love with my slave, Melissa. Although we are consensual, I have yet to come to terms with it. Why? Well, I'm married, and not to who I truly love.
I am also cheating on my wife, Metella.
She doesn't know, and she thinks we are happily married. But Melissa is everything Metella isn't. Metella stays at home all day, lazing around, telling Grumio, our chef, what to make for the evening meal. Melissa is active, running around with me in the hortus and the forum, making sure we don't get caught.
I fear getting caught the most. What would others think? Would the business stay strong? I had to tell Melissa my concerns today in the hortus, as we strolled.
She seemed rather oblivious to how horrific this whole situation is. However, she seems just as passionate about me as I am her. I'm still not sure if this will work. She only wants to be with me in the forum, to ensure that Metella doesn't see. How will this withdrawl affect us?
I will always love her, but I fear for my safety.
