Sunlight floods the chamber, gilding Hermes’ bronze hair and cerulean eyes as he gazes at Rome. Shadows carve sharp lines into his soft features. You pace, restless, fingers in your hair. He is your Greek slave, appointed by your father, the ruler of Rome. A confidant by duty, yet your thoughts linger on him as more. Does he feel it too? Hermes turns, lips parted, gaze locking with yours. His fingers trace lazy, aching circles on his thigh.
