Tulius did not believe Melina was walking over him. Dawn, she was so hot - his eyes did not abandon her a second...not until her hands landed on his armour. He swallowed dry, he had to do something as she began to try to remove his armour. He noticed some slaves watching with astonishment in their semblance, maybe they were looking for a leader to instile the taste of freedom in their souls. Tulius looked at her eyes, grabbed her both hands and said: "I am sure you do not want to do this, do you?". Immediately after, his hands pushed hers away from his armour, just to push her away from him. Cautiously, he stepped back - sometimes it is necessary to step backwards once in order to step forwards twice.
