<strong>Bastian’s proposals are accepted</strong><br/><br/>Bastian found that he was being drawn in quite easily by Valeria gestures. He was in particularly transfixed by the way in which she consumed the grapes. He was glad that his garments were quite loose as her behaviour was quite arousing. As she considered the many proposals, he found it easy to imagine what her lips and fingers could do in the servicing of his quite ample cock. The way she handled the grapes with such procession only helped to excite him further.<br/><br/>Pleased at her acceptance of his proposals and that of Lanista Manius, in his agreement with his Domina’s suggestions, he smiled relieved that he would not need to travel further in order to acquire rest and refreshment. He nodded to her in acceptance that Amplus be exposed, so that she can better appreciate his virtues.<br/><br/><strong>Amplus and his twitching cock</strong><br/><br/>Before the exposure, Amplus could not help but notice that Domina Valeria was looking at him or more accurately, his groin. Without thinking, he moved his feet apart a little wider for her to get a better look. As he did his cock shifted to accommodate more of the loincloth. This would have not gone unnoticed. He remained in this position for sometime. He found that her attentions made his cock twitch as it moved around the loincloth like a large snake trapped in a basket. This of course caused the loincloth to move in such a way as to suggest that it may soon loosen too much as to fall to the ground. The loincloth at the best of times would struggle to hold such a prize from within. He tried to focus on something else to relieve the slight increase in size of his cock with every second. Unfortunately wherever he looked, all he saw was beauty. In the end his distractions brought his eyes upon the Domina’s favoured handmaiden (Nakia). If he was to look upon beauty it may as well be her. She was quite comely and alluring, he thought. Her close proximity was not helping. He could just make out her sweet fragrance. He was brought out of his day dream by a swift gesture from Domina to slave and there he stood naked as his loincloth dropped to the floor. Relieved that he would not feel embarrassed as his loincloth did not fall prematurely as was his main concern, his cock softened as it became exposed for all to see. He could never understand what all the fuss was about. Were not all cocks as big as his, he taught. His masters was considerable too, he had taught when it found it’s way into Amplus’ mouth or arse, however, he had only ever seen his masters. So he stood there with his cock twitching and swinging from side to side, as he considered what he could be requested to do next.<br/><br/><strong>Bastian kindly reminds them of there place and takes the advice of the Domina</strong><br/><br/>With the sound of Amplus' cock swinging in the breeze near Bastian's ear, he looked to his wife and made another suggestion “Before we continue this discussion I would request that my wife be shown to our quarters, as I am quite sure she is feeling tired offer such a long journey.” Upon her removal, which took as long as he expected it too, as once she is down there is very little, other than the offering of food, that will get her up anymore quicker than a beached whale would be able to get back to the sea without assistance. However, after a little time and the aid of several slaves, she was indeed up and on her way to rest.<br/><br/>To attempt to alleviate any concerns that they will be eaten out of house and home, Bastian remarked “Of course it is not just coin that I offer here today, but a significant increase in your reputation. As you will see as the evening progresses you will find that my wife and I are quite familiar with the Senate and upon hearing that you were responsible for aiding such visiting dignitaries, as ourselves, this will obviously aid you in establishing this Ludus amongst one of the greatest.” Rubbing there egos a little, he continued “If that is of course of interest for you, as I have found that pride can so often get in the way of making the right chose, wouldn’t you agree?” Not pausing for a response as the question was more rhetorical than actual, he began his suggestion “Now that you have accepted our proposals, whilst here and once I have departed, I will make it my first priority to sing you praises, so to speak. This will only assist you in elevating you to the ranks that you most obviously deserve.” Gesturing only good will and kindness, he commented “This of course will depend a great deal on how we are treated during our stay under such a fine Ludus as yours but I would imagine this to be of little consequence as so far I have felt most welcome.” Moving the conversation towards Amplus, he pointed out “As for Amplus” as he glanced over his slave’s quite abnormally large cock “I do think that you will be more than compensated should he injure or maim any of your man. Besides which, I only ask that he train here for a little sport. If you decide that this would be too dangerous then perhaps he would serve better attending to any other whims that are of interest to you.” Taking on board the Lanista’s additional words in regard to him suggesting that he heed Domina’s wishes, he reflected for a moment and with the utmost respect he informed them of his station “Lanista, I say this with the highest respect, for it is not you wife’s command that is needed to be followed here, nor is it yours. Unless of course your words are directed at Amplus. If that is the case then I decree that he is at your command.” He smiled at the both warmly “Within reason of course. After all this is your house. If it was directed at me, however, if you wish to gain more respect both with me and all of Rome then it will be my wishes that are followed here.” To attempt to reassure them that this as not a retreat but a statement of fact, he softened his speech a little and smiled warmly, before continuing. “Like I said, I mean no disrespect. However, it is probably wise to understand my families station a little more so as to aid you in how to address me in future. This is not blackmail; this is just the way of things. Like I said we need not beat one’s chests here to make a point as we are all friends or at least that will be my wish in time. As all I want to do here is rest and be merry and if that elevates your house to greatness along the way then more the better for all of us. Upon elevation, which is certain, I request no recompense as I will get much reward from seeing such a fine group as yours rise to greatness. Again apologise if this was indeed directed at Amplus as if so, you can put my statements to one side for now. All that aside, however, on this occasion, I think that the good Domina is right.” Directing his conclusion towards the Lanista “So due to yours and her concerns, I think it would be wise for Amplus to stay out of the training area for now until the other gladiators get used to his presence and that he spends more of his time by my side or indeed in other areas of the Ludus satisfying the whims of you both; the Domina and Dominas of the fine Ludus Leonis Scopulus Tarraconensis. We can always send my wife down into the training ground for target practice, should we desire it. I jest of course but the thought has crossed my mind.” At that he laughed merrily and proposed a toast “To Ludus Leonis Scopulus Tarraconensis and it inevitable success.”<br/>
