No, they seem content.

Slipping the silk robe from your shoulders you climb onto the bed sliding between the bodies of the two captives. The subtle perfumes of the women is noticeable over the musky scent of sex that fills the chamber. Lying on your back between their warm bodies you can turn your head side to side breathing in the citrus scents from Sophia and the wildflower aroma that you first noticed as you bound Adriana and claimed her. Again sleep sweeps over you, and this time you let yourself drift into its embrace.

You are the first to wake. The room is very dark but the gentle breathing from both sides of you assure you that your bedmates are still sleeping at your side. Through the open window you can hear the few of the sounds of a victorious army plundering its prize. Most of the initial frenzy is over although you know that plans have been carefully drawn up for systematically stripping Athenapolis of as much of its wealth as possible. The officers will have their hands full keeping the men from running wild, especially the Galician mercenaries who seem to have no understanding of disciple once the battle has ended. You wonder if they are worth the trouble, if they were not such superior fighting men no army would ever want them.

You thank the gods again that you are assigned a special unit - and that you will not have to deal with imposing order back onto the city. As you sit up you feel the shifting bodies of the women gradually waking from sleep as well. The faintest crack of light peeks from under the doors to the bedroom and walking carefully across the room you are able to open the door and let more light into the room.

"Is it time?" Asks Adriana sleepily as she sits up in the bed, modestly holding a sheet to her neck covering her breasts. Sophia you notice makes no attempt to hide her body as she sits up and stretches like a cat sighing contentedly.

"Yes, get dressed in your tunic, and put your sandals back on, I'd hate to see those pretty feet of yours cut by smashed pottery or shards of glass." You move to the closet you had discovered earlier filled with clothing and in the dim light found some clean undershirts and a loincloth. The clothes were a little large for your frame, but so much better than putting on the sweat and blood stained linen undershirt that still lay on the floor of the bathing room.

By the time you return to the main chamber Adriana has slipped back into her soft cotton tunic and her mother is helping her pin up her hair.

"Don't make her look too neat." You remind the women, "She has to look like she is fleeing desperately from the horrors of war." Adriana lets out a giggle - you hope she acts better when it matters - and adds in a stage whisper:

"Yes, I'm terrified that I will be captured by a man and **** to serve his every pleasure." Stepping gracefully she runs her fingers along your arm as she passes by you. "Every pleasure." She says again stressing the first word. Then with a coy smile she steps past you towards the door "I'll get my sandals." Her ass sways provocatively as she steps through the open door into the hallway.

"Have her be careful" Sophia tells you "most of the women of Athenapolis were not as lucky as us." Grunting in agreement you finish buckling on your greaves.

You meet Adriana in the hallway. In addition to her sandals she has a small bag over her shoulder.

"It has some clothes and toiletries" she explains "I thought it would look more believable."

Someone has brought the armor that you had removed in the feast hall downstairs up to the hallway and laid it in a neat pile by the door. Both Sophia and Adriana help strap on the remaining pieces, it would probably be quicker to do it yourself, but the women seemed to like serving you.

"Let's go get the other two." Turning back to Lady Sophia who is standing magnificently naked in the doorway you add. "Don't worry, she'll be alright." It takes very little time to get Marcus and Antonios, in fact Antonios is already dressed in his armor and waiting for you, and Marcus although fast asleep when you entered the gym was fully dressed and armored in less than two minutes.

"Let's go get rich, well richer." Marcus corrects himself cheerfully as the four of you head for the gate. Returning the salute of the gate guard you remind him to stay alert.

"I'm not the only one who likes to surprise their targets in the hour before dawn." The guard salutes again and returns to watching the gate.

"OK my sweets" you say to Adriana "Take us to the apartment, and we'll see if my plan is going to work."
