Chapter Seven: Alex “No... you are already sixteen... You cannot live here a day longer. Why do you think I sent your brothers away when they became fourteen? Do you think you are a Legatio! You are too old to be living with me... Now go!” Alex’s father Helios, sending Alex away on his 16th birthday. Philip directed Jason out of the bedroom and to a ladder that took them to the roof of the house. On top was a garden, as well as a covered wood platform. Under it, completely lost in his

On arriving at the Royal Naval Academy Joshua was met by Thomas, dressed in a white uniform. "Joshua!" "Thomas." Joshua ran over, almost tackling the blond man. "You would not believe how many birth kin are here!" Thomas said excitedly between kisses. "Really?" Joshua asked. "Almost one in every five first year students... from all over Wor." Thomas replied. "I would like to meet them." "And they want to meet you." Hearing a coughing sound from behind Joshua waved Austin and Xavier ov

Chapter Six: A New Home While the Legatio lived in the grandest of mansions, the Famulus lived in what housing they could afford or find, and the Centurions lived either in the barracks outside the city or in their own quarter of the capital. There, men, based on their rank, lived in houses that were like miniature fortresses, with thick walls, food to last a year’s siege, and a cache of weapons to fight with. Living in such an environment ensured that the Centurions would never forget the eve

Chapter Five: The Field Marshals “Where it takes the Centurion’s three Field Marshals and 400,000 men to rule over Domus, we Legatio require only our voice to change the direction of the Empire.” Senator Perils addressing the Domus Senate As the tailors fitted him for his new wardrobe, Jason tried to hold back the tears. Why had Philip not told him all this. The Centurion Commander had promised to be with him forever. Not to die like Melissa had and the rest of the people who had been

Chapter Three: The First Lesson Jason awoke alone to the smell of porridge and sausage cooking just outside the carriage. As soon as he pulled the sheets away he noticed he was naked but saw a loincloth hanging on the edge of the carriage window strung though a gold ring with a blue sapphire. It was the ring Philip promised him and it fit perfectly on his right hand. The loincloth was a little large for him however, but forming a knot at one end solved that problem. He then climbed out of the

By the end of the a few weeks of dating Tara decided to have a talk with her brother while he washed the dishes at the apartment they shared together. "So bro what do you think of Darren?" "Do I even have to answer that question?" Jacob grinned. "You like him." Tara laughed as she tried to tickle Jacob. "Of course I do. I have to... your dating him." Jacob joked "That's not the reason." Tara said as she tried to make one final dive for he

The drive to lunch was quiet. Neither Josh nor Robert had the courage to say anything about what had happened back at the gym. It was only when both men were eating away at their Caesar chicken salads that Josh finally spoke. "I guess I should have told you about Andrew." "Its none of my business. Who you've slept with in the past is no concern of mine." "Now who's being dishonest?" Josh returned. "All right I admit it. I liked the idea that I was the first and only

Chapter 2 "I'm home." Steven shouted from the front entry before hanging his coat in the nearby closet. "Finally... I've been wanting to eat for the past two hours," a near identical voice replied. "You could have eaten without me Patrick," Steven replied as he made his way through several rooms to the kitchen. "I told you I was cooking tuna tonight. If I cooked it when I wanted to, it would have dried out and gone cold before you came hom

Chapter Seven Several weeks later after the attack: James awoke to the pain covering the upper part of his body. Everything felt bruised and swollen. His mouth and neck ached from the breathing tube down his throat. He was unable to move his arms as they were covered in a cast. His legs though, his legs he could no longer feel. "I'm sorry James, I'm so sorry." An old familiar voice called out." "Will?" He tried to say but was unable to.' "Don't try to talk James, just think what y

Chapter Eight Vard walked the stone parapets of Castle Yates proud of what his people had achieved in such a short of time. All of Yates, Westbirth to the east and Travole to the south were now under clan rule. It was now time for the clans to rest, and enjoy their victories while they waited for the spring rains to end. Such enjoyment included the claiming of more birth kin. "Are they all here?" Vard asked as he entered the main hall of the castle. "Yes Vard." Sparrow grin

Part II: Domus Chapter One: The Circle A Study of Law and Customs in Domus... by Melkior, first High Ambassador. While Domus has a society built around war, it protects its children from that reality until they reach the age of 21. Domus, with its massive Home Guard to police and protect it, is a place of innocence compared to the outside world. Those customs also applied to sex. As custom dictated, enforced by the harshest of punishments, no Centurion adult was allowed to initiat

"Hello, may I help you?" The pretty brunet secretary smiled, as she looked away from the computer screen on her desk to the tall, smarty dressed, and blond young man standing in front of her. "Yes... I'm Dr. Steven Nash... I have an appointment with Dr. Richardson," he replied. The woman raised a long nailed finger as her other hand busied itself with a phone. "Just a moment... Dr. Richardson, your 9:00 AM is here," she said into the receiver. "You can g

******************************* Tara held her brother close, wiping away his tears with her hand. The beginning of a bruise was forming around his right eye and dried blood still covered his broken lip. Tara had always looked out for her brother. Even though he was already taller then her 5'6" frame he always seemed fragile to her. She could never understand how such a kind loving person could have such difficulties as he seemed to have. Reserved to the point of being shy, her y

Around 2 A.M., the boys were all in Nathan's room discussing dad's date. Nathan and Landon were both on the bed, still naked from their own activities last night. Chris could see the cum stains on the blue sheets of the bed as well as the dry crust on Landon's stomach. Chris was a lot like his dad in finding it weird that his brother's were doing it but if it made them happy he really didn't mind. "So do you think dad is getting it on right now?" Nathan asked excitedly as Landon played with N

Some time late at night Josh awoke to find the bed empty. He wandered around the apartment looking for Robert but it appeared that both Robert and Josh's car keys were gone. Not knowing where Robert had gone and not wanting to suspect the worse, he went to the kitchen to clean things up. The food by this time was cold and needed to be put away before it spoiled. After that was done, he went to the couch so he could think. He knew that his difficulty with having sex was a problem. He had less the

Vard stood by as he watched the clans of the northern plains ford the great Olo River. On the other side were the warm, green lands of the farmers, the bounty of the cities, and the hard stone of fortresses and so far none had opposed them. That was to be expected however for while the river marked the boarder of the kingdom of Yates Varros' people were still two days ride from the nearest settlement. "Shall I send out a scouting party?" Broken Claw asked as he reined in his horse

Chapter Two: Not Alone “Hey, got enough marshmallows there?” Thad Labatt caught the bag of fluff tossed in his direction. The man’s son held out three more. “Got them if we need them.” Karl laughed. “Hear that Ave, smores for all.” Dr. Winters nudged his son with an edge of the cooler he was carrying. Karl hit his best friend in the head with the marshmallows. “Only if he doesn’t give Peppy all the graham crackers.” On cue, the gold lab tackled the boys. “Off me, get off me you

Chapter One: Birth It was a busy day in Big Rock… it seemed every February was, the day the boys got out of school for winter break and the lake opened for the season. Twenty-four babies in five days, it was one for the record books. One father, nineteen-year-old Greg Winters, watched his little boy sleeping in the crowded nursery. “A healthy boy.” Dr. Erik Walker declared. He was the young intern who had just moved to Big Rock and bought the large house out by the lake. Greg, the boy
