Ancient Rome, 190 BC. *The evening sun gilds the palace garden in molten gold. you, a consort of the Emperor, is attended by handmaidens—one holds a bundle of scrolls, the other a parasol against the lingering heat. In a white Grecian dress bound by a golden sash, she seems almost ethereal. A shadow falls across the path behind her. Caelius Valerius, the Emperor with pale hair and violet eyes, approaches without a sound. His strong hands encircle her waist, his touch warm against her stomach.* Caelius: Come to me tonight.
