Part Seven - Wild Horses  (by: Darrin ©08/2005)

Terence was about to knock on the door when it was pulled open and a young girl stood there, smiling most happily at us. Her long black hair reminded me of Sabine's. She was dressed in a very short, black tunic, and from all appearances, nothing else. She leapt into Terence's arms and kissed him warmly. From this greeting I believed the two of them were together, though until that moment, I had seen no other indication of that. However, Terence gently pulled her from him and set her down gently. Now I knew better. She was enamoured of Terence but he did not reciprocate those feelings. I put that away to think about later. Right now, we were led into the main living area of her home.

Terence made the introductions, though certainly she appeared to know who I was. She seemed shy and nervous, but giddy as well. All I knew was that it had been too long since I felt as I did and with a soldier's discipline, I calmed myself.

"I made food, T. It's all laid out in the dining room. Follow me!" She led us into a dining area and there was a feast fit for an Emperor. We chose seats and she dished out plates for us. As we ate, we discussed everything that had happened. She wanted to know every detail of how I had found myself in the Coliseum to how I enjoyed flying for the first time. She was full of questions and listened intently to my every word. I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy the attention. When Terence or she would speak, I found myself staring into her eyes. Deeply beautiful, brown orbs from which I could not take my eyes away. She giggled a lot. I found myself laughing and enjoying everything about her.

My every thought was how grateful I was for this. If this were my Elysium, even sharing it with twenty-three other men, how restful it would be.

The meal finished, Terence said he would go down to his home and leave me in Darrin's capable hands. He bid us farewell and we watched from Darrin's door as he made his way down to the house but one away from hers.

Darrin took my hand and led me back into her home. "You must be tired, Max," she said, "I've made up a room for you. Tomorrow you can meet Sid and do whatever else you want to do. This place is for you and your Brothers. Well, once they arrive," she added with a little giggle. Her giggle was going to be the end of me, I thought.

I was extremely tired, though, so once she had shown me my room and told me where everything was, we said goodnight. She tiptoed up and kissed me on the cheek, saying shyly how happy she was I was here, then reminded me again where her room was if I needed anything and also that I was free to go anywhere in the house I liked.

After readying myself and then getting into the bed, I lay awake for a short time thinking of these two days. I thought I would miss Sabine and Marcus, but I realized that I did not need to. They were with Maximus as they should be. I was a separate man, my own man, and this was where I belonged.

My last thought was of Darrin and was no one's business but my own.

~*~

The next few days were most pleasurable. Darrin showed me around the Village and said I could pick a home that would be mine to use however I wished, but that I was more than welcome to stay in her home for as long I liked. She gave me a tour of the Library, what an incredible leap from scrolls these books are! She showed me the stables and said there were three Brothers coming who would help me populate the stalls and care for the horses once they'd all arrived. She took me into the nearby town and introduced me to many more wonders of this World in which I was now becoming much more comfortable. Throughout this time, Terence would join us regularly when he wasn't working. He had a partner in a far off city called Washington DC with whom he had much business. I was glad of the times he was working as I found my affection for Darrin growing, day by day.

I met Sidney that first full day in the Village. Terence insisted on being there with us. Something about the meeting did not sit right with him. I could feel him bristling the entire time. I overheard a portion of their conversation about it, something to do with him being able to walk around... It was very strange and I did not understand it at all. It put me on edge about Sidney though and I promised myself to be wary of him.

We did purchase two horses from a nearby stable. A fine Spanish horse whom I named Warrior and a black mare whom Darrin named Ebony and claimed for her own. Caring for the animals was enjoyable work I looked forward to every day.

Each night I found myself thinking more and more about certain needs I was feeling. Darrin's attire helped not one bit. Always in the very short tunics she loves, black miniskirt dresses, she called them. Her hair falling in those beautiful black waves I would find myself longing to run my hands through. Her thighs, strong and tanned, I would wish were wrapped around my middle. And her eyes... They shined continuously, so very happy whenever she looked at me. How was I ever to resist the temptation of her?

Then I realized as I lay in bed trying to sleep that third night, why should I not? This was Elysium for me. Surely there was more to it than just rest and caring for horses. And the look in her eyes, I was not mistaken that she felt the same way. She spent every night here in her home, so there was no one else of whom I knew. Certainly she was friends with Sidney, but she gave no indication that she was his. I did not know how relationships worked in this world and I was prepared for anything, given how strange and different so many things were from my time. Perhaps there were new social mores now, that allowed a woman to be with more than one man and vice versa. That would be pleasurable indeed, for all parties involved. It made me chuckle to myself to think that my Brothers and I may find ourselves sharing more than kinship. Darrin had said she had Sisters who would be arriving slowly over the next few months...

But I could not pursue that line of thought. My loins ached for the feel of a woman. And not just the wanton need to expire with the help of a camp follower, no. It was Darrin. I did so want her.

She had said I could go anywhere within her home.

She had made sure I knew where her bed chamber was.

I made up my mind and carefully made my way up the stairs to her door. I opened it gently and looked in to see if she was asleep.

She was not.

"I was hoping you'd come be with me, Max," she said softly. She was sitting on her bed, the tiniest bit of cloth barely covering her curves. A soft light came from the lamp on her bedside table.

I walked in, smiling at her tenderly. "And I was hoping you'd be ready to receive me. It seems we are of the same mind."

She giggled. By the gods, I was inflamed beyond rational thought by the sound of it. I went to her and pulled her to me and kissed her. Just gently at first, then with more and more need as her arms went about my neck and she responded to me. I felt as a stallion would, when about to service his mare who has been teasing him in her season. I pushed her back onto the bed and pulled at her little bit of cloth until she was bared before me. She pushed down my leggings so I was equally exposed. Her hand went around my shaft and I groaned in desire. I stayed her hand before she sent me over the edge.

"Little Mare, I would take you as a man takes a woman. Do not tease me so."

She smiled and laid back onto the bed. I placed my knees between her legs and pushed her open before me, staring down at her. "You are indeed beautiful, Darrin." I gently touched her womanhood, finding her moisture soaked folds immeasurably ready for me, growling with my discovery. I drew my fingers up until I found her hard little nub buried within her satiny recesses and rubbed against it gently. Her body arched back until she was raised off the bed, writhing with my touch.

I could not take any more. I covered her body with mine and wet my phallus against her, then gathered her up into my embrace and pushed into her, sheathing myself to the hilt deep inside her with one thrust. Our mutual cries confirmed our matching need for each other.

Stroking into her, thrust after thrust, smoothly, needfully, firmly. Taking her as I needed to. Feeling her arms and legs wrapping themselves around me as I'd longed for them to for days. Her hips pounded into mine as she cried out her completion to me. I felt my length squeezed within her and I could not wait any longer. I growled with how deeply I felt my release. Driving harshly into her, thrust after thrust as my seed left me, filling her up. Her body trembling in my arms as her cries filled my ears.

We lay panting together for long moments, tremors passing through our bodies with each breath we gasped, each small movement we made.

I pulled her to me as I rolled onto my back. She curled herself around me.

"That was most pleasurable," I said with a sigh.

"Yes," she answered.

We fell asleep.

A short time later, I woke, finding myself holding her to me, almost covering her with my body, her sweet little bottom against my shaft, which had woken before me. I was still half asleep but my body knew what to do even so. I pulled her leg over mine and found the entrance to her moisture soaked passageway easily. Gently thrusting into her, she woke in my arms with a gasp. My hand wandered down her abdomen to her cleft and I once again found her nub. Rubbing and thrusting together, I raised her up until she was writhing against me, crying out to me as she expired again and again. My other hand caressed the mounds of her breasts, her nipples hard peaks against my palm. She turned her head and I raised up to kiss her.

"Little Mare," I whispered, enjoying thinking of her so. She whispered my named, the s a soft hiss as I drove into her, now needing release once again within her. Thrusting my hips into hers, I climaxed with her, enjoying the feeling of her spasms around my phallus deeply.

We settled again against the pillows, my arms around her. I kissed her temple and sighed, happy in my sated state.

"Max," she whispered.

"Yes, Darrin?"

"I have something for you."

She leaned over to the table beside her bed and opened the drawer, pulling out a box. She gave it to me and I opened it.

It was a medallion. On it was the same black mare I had seen on my door.

"Argento! You found her!" I cried, extremely happy with my gift. She took it from me and placed it around my neck. Then she sat back and looked at me, a very serious look on her face.

"I must tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I want you to know that I can't help myself," she paused briefly, then continued, "I do love you. I will always love you so very much."

"And I you," I answered honestly, caressing her cheek gently.

"There's so much that's going to happen in our world that you will find contrary to that. Your Brothers and my Sisters... We're going to share between us. Everything," she said, with deep meaning.

I smiled and continued to caress her cheek. "I felt it might be so," I replied. Things are different in your world then? You do not have husbands and wives?"

"In the outside world, yes. But here in our Village it's going to be different. You and your Brothers inspire sharing and our World will be based on that concept. It's all about the sharing."

I thought about that. It would take much adjustment, but as long as I could have her, I would be happy. Even if it meant sharing her. At least it would only be with my Brothers.

"It is all right, Little Mare. You will be my Argento, that is all I need."

"And you are my Scarto. You will always be my Scarto."

I smiled and pulled her into my arms.

We spent the rest of the night resting between love.

Indeed, a truly wonderful Elysium.
