Unconditionally (Spartacus FANFIC -- Gannicus/Caesar/OC)

Chapter XLIX

With the sun beaming down onto my face warming my skin I slowly began to remember the night before. I slowly opened my eyes expecting Caesar to either be gone or getting ready to leave only to feel his chest slowly rise and fall beneath my head, and his fingers lightly playing with my hair. Smiling softly I moved my head to look up at him, "Ah she awakes." He grinned at me.

"Have you been up long?" I asked him as he shook his head, "I've only woken myself a few moments ago." He told me as he moved his hand from my hair to draping it over me pulling me closer to him as he yawned. "This is a thing I could more than get used to." He told me as I couldn't help but giggle.

"Waking up pretending to be a former slave in a city filled with your enemy?" I questioned as he laughed, "I am already used to waking up in a city filled with enemies. Rome is filled with those scheming for position. I meant with you in my arms, you aren't very good at this romance thing are you?" He asked as we both sat up.

"It's too bad you have to go back to being a Roman General then isn't it?" I smiled at him as he just laughed softly, "You can still come with me." He told me as I shut my eyes humming softly, "You know I cannot leave my brother, or my people." I told him.

"I know, you've made that clear. Will I see you later tonight?" He asked me. "Depends what crazy scheme are you getting up to today?" He just laughed softly, "Beyond finding a way to convince you to come to my encampment with me, meddling with your friends affairs." He told me.

"Well I cannot fault you for being honest even if I wish you would just not make life within these walls any more dangerous than it already presents itself." I looked outside sighing softly, "I must go see to my brother, Spartacus should be returning today... I will be expected... I will find you once he returns?" I questioned him as he placed his hand against cheek lightly caressing it with his thumb. 

"I will try to make myself easy to spot." He told me as he gently pulled me closer to him his lips lightly caressing mine as I lightly bit his lower lip. "I wish you didn't have to go." He told me pressing his forehead against mine. "Should have tried going for a slave not among those in charge then." I laughed lightly as he shook his head.

"Find me when you are finished?" He questioned as I got off the bed quickly pulling my apodesme (Bra), shirt and skirt back on my body kissing his lips again before leaving the villa to look for Agron.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Walking into the villa I noticed Agron right away at the door as he looked over to me, "We should have Donar or someone of equal standing to watch over the Romans while we head down to greet Spartacus, what's with the grin?" He questioned me his face still contorted with anger.

"What grin?" I questioned as he poked my face, "That one, you slept with him. Jana the man is clearly with Nemetes and not right for you." He told me.

"I do not want to speak about this again Agron. I am a grown woman and I am allowed to make whatever mistakes I so see fit too. If...Lyciscus is one of those bad choices than that is on me, but it was my bad choice to make... if you want to speak about making stupid decisions, you need only look at yourself. Pushing aside Nasir... was the biggest mistake the man loves you Agron; without question." I told him as he grumbled something walking away from me.
