Adriana proposes a solution

"Wow, you were fantastic, easily as sexy as your mother." You murmur in her delicate ear, and then speaking louder you gaze at Sophia's curvy frame as you add "and you know how much she tempts me." Pulling out the remaining combs in her hair you spread it out over her back. "You two are going to make someone very happy. I wish I could afford even just one of you."

Adriana slides onto the bed behind you and you can feel her warm breasts press softly against your back. "Why can't you just keep us?" She asks, and Sophia nods slightly in agreement.

"Money. It's always money." Your hand runs along Sophia's face as you explain brushing a wisp of hair from her eyes. "Soldiers almost never get to keep what they capture - except for gold and jewels small enough to carry with us." Adriana's hands have circled your torso and she is running them along your abdomen as she pulls herself even more firmly against your back. "There are laws concerning the spoils of war. I have to share the proceeds from your sale with the men under me and my commander too." You are very comfortable lying between theses two warm bodies and you can feel sleep start to weigh heavily on your eyelids.

"Even if I did not need to share with my men and commander, the slavers charge a fee of one part in four for the auctioning of each captive." You never minded this arrangement until now, usually you were happy to exchange your captive for a brass chit and collect the coin later in the month. "At best I would have to choose between the two of you, and my guess is that you will be sold as a set."

"But what about this estate?" Interrupts Sophia "Surely this is worth more than enough to buy us."

"It certainly is beautiful." You respond, "But little of the wealth that is here is easy to transport. Soldiers who capture these estates get only a tiny fraction of the actual value in prize money."

"Oh ..." Sighs Sophia "... I had hoped we could stay here with you." This time it is your turn to nod, you had had the same thought yourself just moments ago, but the cold reality of your life as a soldier didn't offer any fairytale endings. Adriana sits up on the bed and leans over you looking down at your face.

"What if you could capture two or three other pretty girls, from a good family like me, and gold and jewelry as well?" Adriana's lips tremble as she speaks. "Would that be enough?"

"That would be nice, but a prize like that isn't likely to be just waiting for me and my men." As your eyes close contentedly Adriana takes a deep breath and says:

"I know something that may help." You smile at her eagerness to please; less than an hour ago an untried maid and now an insatiable appetite for sex.

"Let me get some rest, in the morning I'll be ready. I think I'll take you from behind, both of you on your hands and knees and me switching back and forth between the two of you." As you describe the scene your cock gives a little twitch in anticipation.

"No." You are surprised by her refusal after what you have just enjoyed, but before you have time to respond she continues. "I mean I know where to find hidden valuables. Not no to ..." her voice trails off and turning to her you see her face blushing as the image of how you planned to take her next clearly excites her.

"I think I can guide you to what you are looking for." Not nearly as sleepy as before you sit up in the bed, both Sophia and you are looking at Adriana expectantly. Turning to her mother she continues.

"You know how Anatole always had a crush on me?" Sophia nods "And when all the men were conscripted he just disappeared?" Again Sophia nods but this time she turns to you and explains.

"Anatole was the elder brother of some of Adriana's friends, he was one of the many youths that left the city rather than man the walls replacing the mercenary companies that abandoned us."

"That's just it Mother." Interrupts Adriana "He didn't run off, he showed me a hidden apartment where he planned to wait out the siege. He pledged his love and asked me join him. He said we would have to..." she pauses in embarrassment "...to share a bed because his sisters would take the other room."

"What did you tell him?" Asks Sophia as you smile at how Adriana still stumbled over her description of the young man's offer considering her recent experiences.

"I called him a coward." Adriana's eyes flashed as she answered. "And I told him that sleeping with him and staying trapped in an apartment with his sisters would be worse than being captured and sold into slavery."

"I thought you got along with the twins?" her mother said "and little Cassie?"

"Cassiopeia is nice, but the twins are sadistic bitches and Anatole is a foppish wimp. I never liked him! When you sent me over to play with the twins he was always hanging around staring at but never saying anything."

"Where is this apartment?" You ask steering the conversation back to the practical. "Is it far?"

"No, it is only two streets over, hidden under a warehouse. I could take you there." She offers shyly. "I'd like to see the Kyliadese twins taken down a notch or two." Her voice takes on a colder edge as she continues. "Their father bought his title from the council but they pretend that they are the most noble of all families in Athenapolis." Adriana spits out the words "Rich, certainly and they are strikingly beautiful, but there isn't a measure of nobility in either of them."

"I never realized you didn't like them." Says Sophia "I wouldn't have made you go to their dances if you'd told me."

"I did tell you." Adriana responds heatedly "I told you how they laughed at my dresses because they weren't the latest style." Adriana reminds her mother "and how they treated me like an impoverished servant. I still don't know if they invited me to their parties because Anatole asked them to or if it was so they would have someone to feel superior to."

"I'm sorry." Sophia replies. "I guess I wasn't paying that much attention." The family reconciliation was touching, but you heard several words that peaked your interest. Rich and beautiful twins might be worth quite a haul, not to mention Cassiopeia (whoever she was). And the family would likely move their portable assets into this secret apartment too; this might be worth looking into.
