Rees's eyes moved from Jula's smiling face to her delightful breasts. Unencumbered, they were full mounds, bouncing gently under her thin nightgown. He picked her up by her waist and set her down, still standing, on a nearby chair. He was still taller than she but barely.
With a seductive smile Jula reached up and pulled the ribbon at her throat, causing the bow to unravel and her nightgown to fall open to mid-chest. Her generous breasts spilled out to the edge of their areolas.
Rees caught his breath. His cock, already swelling from the kisses they had just shared, stiffened. He slid her nightgown off one shoulder exposing a beautiful breast.
He touched his tongue lightly to her nipple a few times, teasing her. She gasped with pleasure. Unable to go slowly, he began to suckle her nipple urgently, bringing it out to a hard nub. He felt her body tense with desire. Her breath quickened and she wound her fingers into his hair.
Her response inflamed him. He wanted her badly!
He undid the laces at his crotch. As his hard cock poked free of the fabric, her hands were suddenly there, stroking him, pulling on him. Her touch brought waves of sensation that threatened to overwhelm him. He stepped back and looked at her, breathing heavily.
Jula eyed him seductively. Sliding the gown off her other shoulder, she let it fall to a heap at her feet. She was voluptuously naked.
Seeing her nude body, he lost all pretense of control.
"Oh Jula! You are gorgeous!" He scooped her up easily and whisked her to the wide bed, tossing her gently onto it.
He paused to pull off his boots and pants and pull a French letter from his wallet. She lay on the bed, lips slightly parted. Her half-closed eyes were on his massive cock. She spread her legs for him.
Although the light was dim he could see the pink of her labia, swollen and glistening beneath the darkness of her bush. His fingers sought her clitoris. She moaned softly as he rubbed her swollen bud. Her spicy female scent smothered him with lust.
She was everywhere: her nipple in his mouth, her nipple between his fingers, her warm body pressing against his, her lips on his, her hands on his scrotum, massaging, her hands stroking his cock, firm and urgent.
He slipped a finger into her steaming pussy. She let out a long low moan and wetness soaked his finger.
"Oh, please! Please, now!" she begged. She squirmed beneath him, still sliding her hand up and down his shaft.
"Oh Jula, you're so... so damn hot!" His fingers fumbled with the French letter. She helped, stretching it taut over his eager cock. Her fingernails dug into his butt as she pulled him onto her.
A bell clanged loudly. Rees awoke, disoriented.
His wonderful dream dissolved into nightmare. Everything was chaos and cursing as the men around him scrambled to their feet. With an audible groan, Rees curled up. Orgasm thwarted, his cock whimpered and begged to be completed. His scrotum was a tight ball of pain.
Much as he desired to climb back into his dream, he could not deny reality. If he didn't get up immediately and stand in line for food he wouldn't get any. As horny as he was, he was also starving. Lingering in bed, jacking himself off, simply wasn't on the agenda for a slave.
With a heavy sigh, he climbed to his feet.

The iron door swung shut with a definitive clang, another harsh reminder that he was no longer free. The clank of chains scraping against stone almost drowned out the soft shuffle of bare feet as the chain gang clattered to a halt. Rees knew the routine. He lowered himself to his knees, careful not to pull on the chain and unsettle his neighbors.
He fought against the melancholy that sought to overwhelm him. He missed his family terribly. And Jula! Sweet, sweet Jula! She had seduced him and used him and dumped him. But she had done it all so thoughtfully that he still adored her. He had known from the beginning that their trysts would never turn into a real relationship. He was too young and inexperienced for the lustful widow, but their time together had been precious. He would never forget her kindness and sexiness and the invaluable lessons she had taught him.
This morning's vivid dream had been on his mind all day, causing his cock to remain semi-flaccid. He wondered if he'd be able to slide back into it when he fell asleep. Sleep tonight would not come soon enough.
He was not looking forward to another long evening with nothing to do but shift uncomfortably on the stone floor and watch others do the same. Leaning over, he spoke quietly to his friend Keven who was chained next to him, "So far, boredom seems to be the worst part of being a slave. We've only been here a month. I can't imagine how bad it might become if we end up here for years!"
Keven nodded in silent agreement, his green eyes following the movements of the slave handlers who were unshackling men at the beginning of the line. Handlers did not allow slaves to speak in their presence.
Because of his imposing size, Rees drew the attention of the handlers. Even kneeling he could almost see eye to eye with most of them. They did not hesitate to demonstrate the control they had over him. He was careful to show respect, to remain passive, and to do nothing to arouse their wrath. He decided his conversation with Keven could wait.
His first days as a slave had been a nightmare of pain and hunger on an endless march south. He had been glad to finally arrive at the estate where he worked, even if it meant no more chances to escape. He, alongside several hundred other slaves, spent his days in the rock quarry, cutting and hauling rocks to expand the master's already vast winter villa.
The sprawling estate comprised a series of magnificent structures. Following no apparent plan, they rambled in grand disarray across the hillside overlooking the harbor, their countless, unexpected turrets and spires visible from miles away. Even from a distance, which is how Rees normally observed it, the compound appeared bizarre and audacious—unbalanced. It was the perfect home for a preposterously wealthy madman.
Rees had never seen the master of the estate. Rumors of the atrocities he committed were both outrageous and prevalent. If he were responsible for even a tenth of the barbarities attributed to him, he was indeed a butcher. The huge estate was home to thousands of slaves, however, and Rees doubted he would ever meet his notorious master.
He shifted his broad shoulders and stretched his arms. His muscles rippled. Even after spending every day for a month hauling rocks, his arms were stiff by the end of each day. He studied a crack in the stone floor and waited patiently, listening to the handlers move closer.
Eventually they reached Keven, who smiled at the man who unshackled him. The grim-faced handler ignored him. Rees kept his eyes carefully downcast and held very still while he was being unfettered.
The stone room that was Rees's home was vast, easily accommodating two hundred slaves. Despite its size, the room reeked of stale sweat and mildew. The warm, tropical air hung like a wet blanket around them.
Dark stone walls soared to the ceiling fifty feet overhead. Narrow bared windows, very high on the walls, let in a small amount of light and air. Suspended about twenty feet overhead, an iron walkway ran completely around the perimeter of the room and crisscrossed the center. From the vantage of the walkway, slave handlers could inspect and give orders and even dole out lashes with their long whips.
In one corner of the room, a pump dispensed cold water into a stone pit. Nearby there was a long sloping toilet trough with a pump at the high end and a large drain at the low end.
Once released, Rees and Keven strolled together toward the bathing pit and stood in line to wait their turn for water. Their attention was drawn to the front of the line. One of the slaves decided that the man before him was taking too much time. He jumped into the pit and a short scuffle ensued. The one who had been using the pump got the worst of it. He soon scrambled out of the pit and shuffled away, rubbing his cheek.
"No wonder there are so many fights," Rees commented to Keven. "Anything to break the monotony."
"Monotony and filth," Keven agreed. "That's the worst of it so far."
"What do you mean, filth?" Rees said. "It's not so bad. We have all the cold water we could want. This is probably the luxury suite as far as slave lodgings go."
"I could be happy with hot water, soap and a towel," Keven responded.
"You noblemen are spoiled," Rees teased. He was a farm boy, used to being dirty. "We get clean breechclouts, opportunity for a shave and a haircut, and a clean blanket once a week. Surely a slave could not hope for more."
Keven smiled at him wryly. "Perhaps the company of a beautiful woman... "
This comment sent a new pang of longing through Rees.
Ah, Jula!
