<strong>Dominus walks with Livia to the guest bedrooms and starts to see her in a new light</strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Amplus/article-1057070-050F37D70000044D-98_468x465.jpg)</div>While he had a moment as Livia considered his proposal, he had time to notice that her outer garments had been removed. How could he have not noticed before? Had he been that preoccupied as not to notice the beauty that lay beneath?<br/><br/>He most certainly was not lost in thought anymore as she honourably accepted his offer and began to walk towards him. As she did, he could not help but notice that she seemed to glide across the tiles. The only hint of movement came from her ample bosom as it heaved under her toga. Was she blushing, he considered as she came within touching distance. What an affect they were having on each other. Perhaps they would discuss this on the long walk to the bedrooms.<br/><br/>How would and should he address her now? That was the question. With the death of her husband and his friend he had to get used to the fact that she was now the power behind her late husband’s house. His attitude towards her as an equal had to change and today seemed like a perfect opportunity to do so. Seeing her here today painfully reminded him how much he missed the banter between himself and her late husband.<br/><br/>So with that thought he turned and led her down the corridor. They had only walked a few yards when he slowed to address Livia. “You can walk beside me if you would like? To show a united front if you will. There is no need to bring up the rear as I consider you quite the equal.” He smiled at her as he watched her float across the tiles. He then, without thinking, stopped walking as he took her hands in his and looked into her eyes as bright as a cerulean sky. “Now I would appreciate your input with whatever we encounter down there as I am sure you and I can sort out this little issue together and without to much fuss.”<br/><br/>Realising that he had taken her hands in his, he quickly removed them and smile “Apologise, I do not know why I did that. I hope I did not offend you.” Memories of her husband filled his mind until finally he shook his head. “It is just that I miss him so.” In truth he did miss him but as for taking her hands there must be a deeper reason for that. Why did he do such a thing with his wife resting in their chambers just a few doors down? He quickly tried to change the subject, but the thoughts of Livia and her beauty began to fill his mind as he gestured for them to continue the walk towards the bedrooms. “Come. Shall we continue our little investigation?” he said with a smile.<br/>
