"I will make sure your mother and sister are well taken care of. Tell me, have you ever loved anyone else?"
Arsenios flexed his battle weary and calloused fingers through the sitting young male's hair.
"No."
Arsenios gently unplaited the braid wrapped around the young man's head, allowing his shaggy oak brown locks to fall in his face.
"Look at me, dear youth. You are too beautiful to keep your gaze downcast."
Jaw clenched, the male peered up at Arsenios with fierce hazel eyes. His eyelashes were thick and made his eyes appear even brighter. His face was angular and lithe, much like the rest of his body. His skin was taut and sun-kissed, with the only flaws being numerous fresh scuffs and scratches from falling from his horse earlier that day.
He made a strong effort to ignore the heat emanating from Arsenios's loins, which sat proudly in his face. The only shield that kept his penis from springing free was his brilliant red chlamys, and even then the fabric tented against his erection. Arsenios smiled at his indignation and stepped closer to him. The boy turned his face away.
"Tell me your name and age again."
"My name is Heron. I am of twenty years."
"I do hope your family accepts the apology and handsome offer." He cupped the young man's face, making him flinch.
Arsenios backed away and began peeling the chlamys from his shoulders, revealing a large oiled chest and waist. His track record as an Olympian wrestler showed on his body, with bountiful scars and welts that faded over time. His skin tone, rich as terracotta from his innumerable hours of training, stretched over his hulking frame and strongly contrasted against his clothing. He smoothed down his jet-black hair that fell in long loosely curled tresses to his shoulders. His mane framed a picture of masculinity, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes the color of coal. His jaw had the stubbly makings of a beard. He was a man of thirty-five years, fully proud of his tenure as a well-versed athlete.
"Stand up. I want to see all of you."
Heron complied without a word and stood up from the bench. His chiton was tattered and filthy, showing that the scratches continued down his toned bare legs. He stood at six feet even, yet was still dwarfed by Arsenios's sheer size by at least half a foot. His body was well kept and tightly muscled due to his years of farming.
"Let me see your body."
Heron froze momentarily, but silently unpinned the chiton from his shoulder, allowing the fabric to settle at his waistband. His exposed torso was lean and hairless, causing Arsenios to sigh approvingly. Heron approached his prior seat on the chaise longue until the Olympian stepped closer.
"All of it."
Heron stared at him incredulously while Arsenios's face remained unchanged. Knowing he was in a losing battle, the youth untied the waistband. He chose not to look up, but saw in his peripheral view Arsenios undressing at the same time. By the time Heron's ensemble was pooled at his feet Arsenios was methodically stroking himself. Even from blurred peripheral vision, Heron saw that his cock hung low between his thighs. Heron himself stood semi-erect out of fear.
Arsenios noted Heron's size, and felt his cock beginning to leak at the sight of him. He had fucked many eunuchs during competitive downtime, but seeing this young man's endowment had him craving more. He stepped in front of Heron again and stared at him with hooded eyes. The youth made no visible reaction toward his languid stroking.
"You are as lovely as Ganymede himself. I've been needing to touch you since you arrived," he cupped Heron's testicles in his large hand and squeezed lightly.
They both exhaled. Arsenios then allowed his engorged cock to drip hot precum on Heron's thigh. The boy's lips parted as he fought to keep his wits about him.
"We are both men. I know what touch arouses you. You could feel this way all the time if you let me." He gathered Heron's cock in his hand as well and gently clutched until he twitched in his grip. Heron's hips thrust involuntarily as the larger man jerked and stroked his balls. His jaw slacked and let out a breathy gasp.
Arsenios released his grip and lie back on the chaise, his penis lying rock solid against his thigh. His testicles were large and hanged heavy.
"I want to come in your mouth, boy. Get on your knees."
Heron once again complied, hesitantly settling himself between the Olympian's legs. Arsenios opened his legs wider to allow closer access.
