Benin, A Roman Slave Boy

Chapter 9

"You did quite well, both of you," said Sextus," but I noticed you both nearly slipped when you took the corners too fast, and you need to jump higher, but we have two days more practice, so we will work on it until you can perform with perfection. There must be no errors in front of the emperor."

Sextus removed Benin's chain and Decimus removed Pluto's, both boys were told to remove their ankle and wrist bracelets, they were given linen cloths to remove the sweat; the gold rings would remain in position. Both boys were told to lie face down on a table and were given a massage, each muscle was pummeled and stroked. The boys enjoyed it immensely. They then had a hot bath and dried themselves, both looked magnificent. Benin's body was perfect, not an ounce of fat, everything in proportion, even Pluto looked good, he had lost his puppy fat and his muscles were beginning to develop to the full, the hard physical work had done him good. Food was brought from the kitchen and both boys tucked in, they were ravishingly hungry, Benin had some extra morsels, oysters, and some special aphrodisiac potions to consume which would increase his libido, so making his cock stand up at the slightest provocation.

Sextus and Decimus removed their G-strings and bathed. They then took the boys to bed, it was still early, about 8.00 pm, but they needed their rest so they could perform well in three days time. Sextus slept with Benin, who had fallen asleep almost immediately. Sextus ran his hand down Benin's chest and belly and soon found his cock, which was rock hard, and Sextus smiled, turned over, and went to sleep.

The following two days were spent hard at practicing the moves, accompanied with the music. Pluto needed extra practice at swiveling his hips and rolling his belly muscles, but he mastered it in the end. The morning of the third day arrived, both boys eat a hearty breakfast; they would not eat again until after the performance. Sextus and Decimus accompanied the boys on a 5 mile [8 km] run, on their return they bathed, they were given a massage and their skin shaved, removing any growth from under the armpits, belly and legs, their pubic hair was trimmed. The boy's hair had grown, Benin's was now a mass of tiny black curls, Pluto's was straight on top, but it curled at the base of his neck. Sextus was happy with their appearance, they then had to bathe again, dried and oil was rubbed into every part of their skin, this took for ever, as no oil must remain, on completion it gave their skin a golden glow.

After a short break at midday, they were given beakers of water. Benin was given a strong aphrodisiac. The preparation then continued, makeup was applied, their finger nails and toenails were clipped and a bright red paint applied to each nail, rouge was applied to their lips and face cheeks, a thin line of black mascara was applied to their eyebrows and on the outline of their lips. A bright peacock blue paint was applied to their eyelids and below the eyes. Sextus and Decimus worked methodically to produce two handsome whores.

The emperor was due in about an hour, so the chains were attached to the rings in the boy's bodies. Sextus had some difficulty with the chain through Benin's cock ring, as he was sporting a permanent hard on, but a few slaps with his hand across Benin's cock made it subside sufficiently for him to pass the chain up Benin's buttocks and over his shoulders and secured the chains to his nipple rings. The weight on the chain dangling from the boy's navels was attached, was different from before, it was a piece of gold shaped in the form of half a ball sac, when removed, the two pieces joined together perfectly, each half had a ball carved inside. These were to be a present for the emperor. The boys were told to do some limbering up exercises so their muscles were warm before the performance and to test the chains, making sure they were secured sufficiently and would not break or work loose during the performance. Everything was now ready; Sextus and Decimus could do no more, so it was up to the slave boys to put in a good performance.

Both boys felt apprehensive, as they heard the trumpets sound announcing the emperor's arrival, extra staff had been drafted in for the kitchens, slaves had been hired to serve the food, young, almost naked boy slaves, were taught how to serve wine, Crasus and his wife welcomed their illustrious guest, Emperor Tiberius, all the other guests stood as he entered the auditorium, they all chorused "Hail Caesar!" Immediately the food was served, the wine flowed and the entertainment began, tumblers, acrobats, and a troop of dwarfs who performed a slap stick routine, the emperor laughed and was enjoying himself, complementing Crasus on his fine villa and the wonderful food he was serving.

A couple of hours had passed and both Benin and Pluto were getting fidgety, but now it was their turn. The drums sounded, the trumpets blew, both boys burst into the auditorium, one from each side, springing high from the board, successfully forward tumbling three times in the air, went into the splits, rolled over and kissed the marble floor at Tiberius's feet. They then went into their sensual routine. A harp playing softly in the background as they gyrated their hips, gently stroking each other's cheeks. Benin felt his cock grow, it strained at the chain binding it in place. He desperately wanted to fuck Pluto, then Pluto made his escape, a broad grin came over his face. He was a fickle boy, wanting it, but making a chase of it. They ran around the auditorium, leaping high in the air. Benin nearly catching Pluto, but Pluto evading him at the last minute. Their gyrations and leaps increased in speed and height, the music got louder, until it reached a crescendo as Benin pulled Pluto to the floor, directly in front of the emperor. Pluto on his back with Benin kneeling over him.

Benin took hold of the gold weight at Pluto's belly, looked up at the emperor, seeking permission to pull it off, permission given, Benin pulled, the chain parted, Benin pulled Pluto to his feet and bent him over, Benin took one pace towards the emperor handed him Pluto's ball sac weight and invited the emperor to pull his own. The emperor, a large man, leant forward took hold of the weight and tugged it, it came off in his hand. Benin's cock immediately stood up hard and straight. Pluto was still bent double as Benin took up position behind Pluto ready to mount him, again he sought permission. Crasus had to prompt the emperor, who at last nodded his approval. Benin sunk his cock into Pluto, who gave a groan of lust and pleasure. Benin pumped into Pluto, simulating an orgasm, after a few minutes he withdrew. Both boys dropped to their knees and kissed the marble at the Emperor's feet. Tiberius applauded; he had enjoyed the performance, which had been performed to perfection.

Both boys scurried out into the arms of Sextus and Decimus, who gave them a big hug and kissed them on their lips. Tiberius thought the gold weights in the form of a ball sac were a wonderful present and quite amusing, he told Crasus he would treasure them.

The wine continued to flow, more entertainment was provided but nothing surpassed the slave boy's performance, the chains were removed from the boys, the rings remained, they were just about to leave when a messenger arrived, the emperor had requested the company of Benin and Pluto. The boys looked at each other and followed the messenger.

Tiberius had a smile across his face as the boys approached, he raised his arms, beckoning them to sit one either side, he congratulated them on their performance, then turned to Crasus, "Senator do you think I could borrow your two young slave boys, I would enjoy their dance after a long day, they would relax me?"

Publius was about to speak, when his father scowled at him, guessing that he would not want Benin taken from him, especially as he had been unable to enjoy the boy for the past few days.

"Of course sire, would you like to take them home with you, or should I have them delivered tomorrow?"

"Tonight, if that is with your approval." He glanced over at Publius, who of course agreed.

"I will have them suitably attired your Excellency for the journey to your villa," said Crasus.

"No that will not be necessary, I will have them clothed tomorrow. May I say Crasus you have entertained me well to-night, but alas I feel the tiredness coming on. So I will take my leave of you, by the way, when I see you in the senate next, we must discuss your governorship, which is long overdue."

"You are too kind sire; I will call your carriage immediately."

With the two slave boys in toe, he was gone. Benin and Pluto had expected to run behind the carriage, but the emperor insisted they rode inside with him. Foot soldiers were posted at the front, side and rear of the carriage, within a half an hour they were entering the emperor's palace, the most wondrous sights the slave boys had ever seen greeted them as they followed the emperor into the palace, guards were posted everywhere, huge room followed huge room, with high ceilings and marble statues, the finest gossamer drapes hung from each wall. Eventually they entered the emperor's bedroom, slaves scurried about tending to the emperor's every need. He soon lost patience with them and shouted at them to leave. The emperor reclined on his bed and looked at the two naked boys in front of him, he patted the sides of his bed beckoning the boys to join him. They climbed up and lay either side of this huge man, momentarily he stroked Benin's cock, but just as quickly fell asleep, the wine had overcome him, and he lay still and snored. Benin and Pluto could not help looking at each other and laughing.

The boys were awoken by movement in the emperor's bedroom as slaves brought in a clean toga, and ran the emperor's bath. The bath was huge almost a swimming pool. As the emperor woke, he turned on his bum and put his legs over the side of the bed and waddled over to his bath. He dismissed the two attendants and had Benin and Pluto bathe him, which he enjoyed enormously. They helped him out, and dried his skin, they were amazed at how small his cock was, for such a big man, other attendants helped Tiberius dress and to his own disappointment had to leave to attend affairs of state, but left instructions for the boys to be bathed and perfumed and a selection of garments should be made for them. He will choose later what they should wear.

Benin and Pluto were left alone in the emperor's bedroom, but within a few moments a tall, thin, elegantly dressed man entered.

"My, my, you must be the emperor's newest favorites, oh; I must admit you are beautiful, particularly you young man, as he cupped Benin's chin in his hand, you are to have your rings removed, and you must be measured for new costumes." This man was, evidently, the master of the emperor's household, responsible for the smooth running of the kitchens, personal slaves etc. Shortly after another young man came in, he was young about 17 years old; he wore baggy trousers and a velvet top, and spoke in a very effeminate voice.

"What have we here, such beauty at such a tender age, you my boy are stunning," looking at Benin, "it seems a pity to cover any of you, I would just love to gaze at your nude form every hour of every day." He exclaimed. He took out a tape measure and measured both Benin and Pluto, in every intimate detail, "I will be back shortly so you can have a fitting." He then left.

The master of the household then clapped his hands and two huge black men came in, and were told to bathe and massage both boys, and to remove the rings. They must have been over 6ft. [1.80m] tall with broad chests and slim waists, they wore just undergarments, which showed huge bulges at the front. They had some difficulty in taking out the rings, because they had large hands and fingers. They almost pulled Pluto's navel out when removing the ring, and he yelped with pain. Both boys were bathed and the massage was a trial, as the black men did not seem to realize how heavy handed they were, pummeling and pushing every muscle, it was certainly invigorating, as they finished the tailor returned with his samples.

The clothes consisted of G-strings in various colors, with matching short tunics. The G-strings had a tiny pouch at the front, a string that ran underneath, up the crack of their buttocks, with two strings that ran round the sides, where the strings met they were tied in a bow to keep the garment on. Benin particularly liked the gold string one with the matching short tunic, which fitted over his head and draped round the front and the back, this was then secured with a gold rope around the waist, which was tied in a bow, this allowed the tailor to hitch the tunic up, so it just covered the pouch at the front, but showed off the lower half of the buttocks at the rear. The tailor must have brought 10 garments for each slave boy, and had them take them on and off, adjusting here adjusting there until he was satisfied. He then took all the garments away to make any adjustments that were necessary and returned some half an hour later and they went through the whole performance again.

The boys were left in the emperor's bedroom; they dozed and played with each other, but began to get bored, as young teenage boys do, it was somewhat an anti-climax after the previous night's events. Several hours later they were summoned to the emperor, who was lying on a couch, in a huge room, tapestries hung from the wall, the roof was supported by large Corinthian columns, marble statues of naked young boys and girls were dotted around the room, a small orchestra played soft music from behind a screen, a younger man lay on the couch next to the emperor, he was in his late teens, dark haired, thin of face and looked a bit mean, he was the emperor's nephew, his name was Caligula.

Both men were attended by young girls, naked apart from rows of beads around their lower belly and jewels in their hair, and on their nipples, these girls lay on cushions on the floor. "These are the two beautiful boys I was telling you about," said the emperor to his nephew, I will have them dance for you.

"First, come here boys," said Caligula, "Take off your tunic let me look at you."

Both boys stepped forward and removed their tunics and stood in front of Caligula. The girls reclining on the cushions began to take interest at the site of the two near naked boys. Pluto stepped forward and Caligula pulled the cord holding his G-string, this immediately fell to the floor. Caligula poured over Pluto's body, squeezing his nipples, prodding his belly, lifting his cock and balls. He then beckoned Benin forward, again the G-string fell to the floor. Benin's cock stood up hard and straight. Caligula went immediately to it, and rubbed it and fondled it, Benin groaned with pleasure. Caligula was suitably impressed with the boy's body and could not resist running his hands over him, feeling the abdominal muscles and running his hands over Benin's pert buttocks.

"Come boys show us what you can do, dance for us," said Caligula.

The orchestra started a slow lament; the boys bowed and went into a slow seductive routine, their lips just touching, their hips gyrating Benin's belly moving in waves, which made his cock stand up and rise and fall with his belly movements. They then broke away and skipped around the room, jumping and pirouetting, sweat began to form on their bodies with the exertion, they returned to the group and both stood in front of the assembly and gyrated some more. Benin in particular enjoyed showing off his nakedness, several of the girls smiled at him, his seductive movements excited them. The orchestra raised the tempo and the boys put in a supreme effort at leaping and jumping, Benin chasing Pluto, he caught Pluto and took up position to fuck him.

"No," said Caligula, "you will fuck one of the whores." Pointing to the girls laying on the cushions.

"Me, me!" shouted the girls. Caligula had the girls stand up and told Benin to choose one.

Benin looked along the line, the girls pleading with him to choose them, but he was attracted to a dusky young girl probably 15 or 16 years old, slim in the waist with broad hips and breasts like grapefruit, her nipples standing up straight and proud. He walked over to her and took her hand and pulled her forward. Her eyes looked at the floor, she, like the others was naked apart from the row of beads hanging around her lower belly. She had no hair, this had been shaved, and her vagina had been rouged as had her lips and face cheeks.

Benin was hoping to take her away, but the emperor was having none of it, and told him to perform in front of them, it was part of the entertainment as far as he was concerned. Cushions were tossed in their direction and the girl lay on her back, a cushion under her lower back, this had the desired effect of pushing her hips in the air, ready to receive Benin. He sank to his knees, his fingers caressing her nipples, he then moved forward and put his cock in her vagina and slowly pumped into her, she groaned with pleasure, her hips moving to get more feeling, this excited Benin who thrust forward harder entering her fully, his buttocks rose and fell as his cock filled her love space. Both participants forgot about their audience as they reveled in their love making, Benin went on and on, the girl giving out little screams as she orgasmed, Benin could not hold on any longer and climaxed, but of course no live sperm passed between them, but both were satisfied to the full. The audience applauded, as Benin rolled off the girl and lay on his back gasping for breath.

Caligula leaned over to his uncle and suggested that Benin should stay but Pluto should go, as he was no different to many other slaves or boy whores available throughout Rome. The emperor agreed and Pluto was escorted home, meanwhile Caligula wanted to have more fun with Benin and asked his uncle if he could have the boy for a few days, so he could have him trained to perform a more spectacular dance routine. The emperor agreed, replying that he would have the boy in his bed tonight but Caligula could have him the following morning. Caligula wanted the boy for himself, he knew the emperor would tire of him within a few days; he began to think of a way for the slave boy to be his personal property.

The emperor rose, as did all the others and bowed lowly as Tiberius took hold of Benin's hand and escorted him to his bed chamber. The emperor's personal slaves took off the emperor's clothes; the fat Tiberius wallowed on his bed, dismissed his slaves and beckoned Benin to lie next to him. The naked 13 year old was dwarfed by this huge man, who had a little cock. Tiberius pushed Benin's head down to his cock and made him suck it, after much work by Benin the cock eventually grew. Benin's mouth working hard to excite the emperor, Benin sweated as he worked up and down on the member, finally the emperor orgasmed, small droplets of cum ran down Benin's throat. Both master and slave fell into a deep sleep.

The following morning Caligula was waiting patiently for Tiberius to hand Benin over, he had to wait for the emperor to have his breakfast, and Tiberius enjoyed feeding Benin morsels of food from his own plate. Caligula had given instructions for a huge gantry to be built in a large ante-room, while this structure was being erected; he took Benin down to the bath house to show him off to his friends. Caligula a strong 19 year old young man mounted his chariot and had Benin secured to the rear, who ran behind, Benin nearly fell several times as the young Caligula skidded round the corners of the narrow streets of Rome, but within a few minutes they arrived at the bath house. The bath house was a huge building; large columns supported the building which was reached by many steps. Benin followed Caligula into the building; they soon met with Caligula's friends, who wanted to know who this new handsome boy was, five young naked men gathered round Benin, stroking his hair, running their fingers over his body, pinching his buttocks.

"I bet he is a good fuck," remarked one.

"Have you fucked him yet Caligula?" asked another.

Caligula explained he was on loan to the emperor and that he was a dancer and slave of the Crasus family.

"Let's see him dance," asked one of the boys.

"Yes," said Caligula, and gave orders for Benin to gyrate in front of the young men.

Benin performed well, Caligula pulled off his G-string as he danced.

"I wonder if he can do that with my cock up his arse," shouted another.

Each of the boys had their own slave with them, and they soon settled down while their slaves massaged them. One of the young men gave out a cry and shouted at his slave that he had pinched his skin and he would be punished. With that, all the boys got up and followed the slave who was to be punished into a side room, including Caligula and Benin. A wooden trestle was in the centre of the room, chairs around the perimeter, two Nubian slaves stood to one side, while the young men took their seats. The poor wretch of a slave was secured to the trestle and the two Nubians took up position behind him.

The Nubians looked at the slave's master who raised his hand for the punishment to begin. The slave was some 14 to 15 years old; he looked Egyptian or Greek, with his olive skin and black curly hair, not unlike Benin. The two Nubians began; they were 6ft [1.80 m] tall and well muscled, one to the left one to the right, the thick rattan cane rose and fell on the boy's buttocks, the boy screamed in agony as the cane bit into his skin raising wheals. The Nubians would not stop until told by the slave's young master. Time and again the cane blistered into his cheeks, as the strokes crossed, blood began to ooze from the wounds.

Benin looked on fearfully and realized that Publius was not the only cruel master in Rome, with the heat in the baths the blood mixed with the sweat pouring down the slave's legs. Over 100 strokes had been given, but the young master was enjoying showing off to his friends and would not let the punishment cease until a further 50 strokes had been given. The slave had by this time stopped crying out, and laid limp on the table as the strokes lacerated his buttocks and thighs. Caligula turned to Benin, and said, "I will enjoy doing that to you my little one, when you are my slave boy, as I know you will be soon."

"Yes sir," replied Benin, dreading his fate if he should ever fall into this young man's hands.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully, as Caligula could not have his way with Benin until he was his new master, although he did enjoy fucking Benin that night as the emperor had retired early.

The following morning after the emperor had arisen from his slumbers, he wanted to know where Benin was. Luckily for Caligula he was bringing the boy slave to the emperor, who said he wanted the boy's company this morning as he was to inspect the new building work, and Benin should walk behind him. The entourage walked off, with the builder and the architect, in close attendance to the emperor; masses of wooden scaffolding surrounded the building, the workers on the site craned forward to get a glimpse of the emperor, but as they did so, the scaffolding started to move, men jumped and the whole structure came crashing down. Benin could see what was happening and leapt forward onto the emperor's back, pushing him down to the floor. The heavy wooden planks and staffs crashed down, several hit Benin on the head and the back, knocking him unconscious.

All hell broke loose as the Praetorian Guard rushed forward to get to the emperor, dragging Benin off, also soldiers began arresting the workers who had caused the accident, and doctors were called to attend to the emperor and the injured. The emperor had came through the ordeal unscathed, but was aware that someone had jumped on his back to protect him, after making enquiries he was told it was Benin, who had been taken away to have his injuries attended to.

The emperor went back to his chambers to rest and sent for the doctors who were attending Benin, they reported that he had a dislocated shoulder and cuts to his arms and legs, but no lasting damage had been incurred. Caligula fussed around the emperor, fearing that the slave boy would be sent back to Crasus and Publius. He suggested to the emperor that he could not return a boy injured and perhaps it would be wise to offer Crasus the money for the boy. The emperor pondered this, the boy had probably saved his life and should be rewarded, so yes, he would offer Crasus the money for the slave and take young Benin into his household. Caligula smiled to himself, and Crasus was summoned the following day. Long explanations were given to Crasus and double the money he had paid for the boy was offered, Crasus remonstrated that he would be overjoyed if the emperor would take the slave as a gift, but the emperor was hearing none of it and paid Crasus a handsome sum for the boy and his choice of governorship. Crasus was delighted with the result as he had obtained the governorship of Tarsus, and it had solved a problem of his daughter's return with Benin's offspring, now that Benin would be out of the way, he would buy Publius a replacement slave from the market that very week.

Benin was some two weeks recovering from his injuries, the emperor visited him everyday, and was pleased when the physicians declared him fit and well, Caligula was by the emperor's side and reminded him of the opportunity for him to train Benin with a new dance. The emperor agreed and said he would throw a banquet in Benin's honor, and Benin would be the star attraction. Caligula wasted no time in instructing Benin on his new routine, he was to fly like a bird, for this purpose a gantry was constructed in the large auditorium, from which hung a rope which could be pulled from one end to the other, some 60 feet [18 meter]. Benin was secured to the rope by the means of a harness around his chest; at the other end of the rope were two huge Nubian men, who pulled on the rope, which lifted Benin off the ground, this enabled Benin to fly.

After several days practice Benin was proficient in gliding and flying through the air, the day before the banquet was the dress rehearsal. Benin was bathed and massaged and then presented himself to Caligula, Benin's naked form looked perfect, Caligula could not resist pouring over his body, the young man who had made Benin's clothes arrived with a huge box, which contained white swan feathers, first the gold rings were inserted in Benin's navel and cock, the small gold chain secured to his navel ring then through his cock ring around his buttocks and back to his navel and secured, keeping his cock tucked nicely away under his ball sac. The leather harness was attached around his chest, Swans feathers were attached to his arms, each feather secured separately, starting with the longest at the top of his arm to the shortest at the bottom. Small feathers were attached to his pubic hairs, each one sewn separately; finally feathers were attached to his ankles.

Caligula instructed Benin to flap his arms and to prance around the room. He looked spectacular in his winged finery, it was decided that feathers would be attached to the harness, to disguise it. Now he was ready, the Nubians took hold of the rope and hoisted Benin into the air, he swung gracefully, flapping his arms, and he looked as if he was flying like a real swan. The Nubians pulled and ran around so Benin could fly around the whole room; they let him fall gracefully so he almost touched the floor, and then pulled hard so he would soar towards the ceiling. Caligula was pleased with the result; all was ready for the performance tomorrow.

The following day Benin was given light exercise and allowed to rest so he would have full strength for the performance. The emperor and guests assembled in the large auditorium, fine wines and food were served, music played and naked girls danced between the couches where the guests lolled, young naked boys serving food and wine as required to the important guests. Now was the time for Benin, trumpets sounded, six Nubian slaves held a large brass platform above their heads, walked in carrying Benin who stood on the brass platform dressed in his feathers, the two Nubians who would work the rope followed, which was already attached to Benin's harness. The music struck up and Benin took off, flying high towards the ceiling, the audience gasped at the sight, the emperor applauded, Benin went from one end to the other swooping high and low, flapping his wings as a bird would. The emperor turned to his wife, Julia, extolling the virtues of this new young slave, she was unimpressed as usual. The emperor scowled at her. The performance went on for some fifteen minutes when Benin fluttered down to the emperor's feet and kissed the marble floor in front of him. Applause rang threw the room, the emperor stood up and pulled Benin to his feet, he then spoke to the audience, firstly singing Benin's praises, his nephew for training the slave, but most importantly how Benin had saved his life, and that this young slave boy would always play an important part in his life, his wife Julia looked and grimaced at Benin and turned her cheek away from her husband as he went to plant a kiss on her lips.

Chapter 10

The final part of the adventures of Benin

Preparations began immediately for the move to Caprea. Slave traders brought in many slaves for the emperor to choose from. He purchased at great expense ten young boys, aged 6 to 7 of Germanic origin, pale of skin and blonde of hair, six muscled Nubians, aged 13 to 14, ten Greek boys of similar age, and six Nubian girls some 14 to 15 years old. Benin was put in charge of the slaves, he was to teach them how to serve their master and entertain him. The rest of the party was made up of his personal food taster, his cook, and 20 members of the Praetorian Guard to protect him, the rest of the staff were already based at the villa in Caprea. Some days later the emperor said his goodbyes to his wife, who just gave him abuse and spat in his face, he confirmed with Caligula that he had the necessary authority to run the house, and gave a farewell speech to the senate, who had grave reservations about the move, saying the people of Rome would become disgruntled and the delay in getting decisions, would jeopardize the safe running of the empire.

However, the emperor would not be dissuaded, and the whole entourage set off for his galley for the voyage to Caprea.

Benin was amazed at the size of the galley, it must have had 200 rowers. The Captain and his crew welcomed the emperor on board and the slaves were sent below. The Captain asked permission to set sail, which the emperor gave and the mighty ship left the dockside. The thud of the hammer on the block, which set the timing of the stroke for the slaves who worked the oars, was mesmerizing to Benin. He could not resist looking down through the grating at the half naked men below, who strained on the oars to get this huge vessel to move. They were spurred on by lashes of the whip across their backs to put in more effort. Thankfully it was a short trip to the island and they arrived several hours later.

The emperor's villa stood high on a hill overlooking the harbour. A chair with wooden staves either side awaited the emperor, he climbed on board and was lifted up by eight Nubians who carried him to the top of the hill and into the villa. Benin trotted beside him, taking in the beauty of this tiny island, the rest of the slaves followed behind. The permanent staff at the villa welcomed Tiberius, with many "Hail Caesars" and applause. They in fact dreaded the old man coming as they had an easy job just looking after the property for months on end, with no demands made of them. The staff had been pre-warned of his arrival, and rooms had been prepared for the slaves, who should be on hand at anytime night or day, provisions had been stocked up and the whole place cleaned until it shone like a new pin.

Tiberius took Benin around the villa and they talked and eat the evening away. Tiberius giving him basic instructions as to what slave should do what, but it was left to Benin to devise amusement for the emperor. The following morning after breakfast Tiberius decided he would like a swim in the enormous pool. Benin suggested the young Germanic boys should join him and that they should play a game. The object of the game was for the naked boys to swim around the emperor and to suck on the emperor's skin at every opportunity with their lips. This of course tickled the emperor, who thought it was great fun, he christened them his 'little minnows'. The boys themselves enjoyed the game and laughed every time they managed to suck on the emperor's toes, his buttocks or any other part of his enormous fat body. The emperor decreed that the boys should be naked at all times.

Around the swimming pool were marble statues of Greek athletes. Benin thought, that as they had the real thing, why don't they remove the marble statues, which after all were a bit boring, and replace them with the Greek boy slaves, who could pose in the nude, one on each plinth. The emperor thought this a clever idea and had the marble statues removed and the slaves placed in position, each slave to take up a different pose and should remain perfectly still at all times. Originally there were eight statues, but as they had ten boys, two further plinths were brought in, so there were five slaves evenly spaced along each side of the pool.

Benin's idea was that the Greek slaves should be on the plinths about an hour, especially during the heat of the day, which would climb to 30-35 Celsius [85-95 Fahrenheit] at midday, but the emperor had different ideas. They should remain on the plinths for as long as he was in the garden, which could be all morning or even all day. He further decided that if he saw any slave boy move, he would be punished. The tops of the plinths were quite small, only some 30cms [one feet] square, just enough to take the boy's feet. Some of the poses they had to adopt were quite difficult to maintain, particularly those that had one foot down and the other foot supported by their toes, some had terracotta pots to hold on their shoulder. Obviously the inevitable happened, some slaves got cramp and some were overcome by the heat, as they had been holding the positions for hours. The first fell off, followed by another, the remainder managed to hold their positions.

Benin was surprised at the glee the emperor expressed when the slaves fell. "Good, good," the emperor exclaimed, "we have two boys for punishment, and we will have the punishment sessions at 7.00 pm each evening, just before dinner."

Each afternoon it was common practice for the emperor to go to bed for a nap. He would choose two or three of the young Germanic boys to share his bed. He enjoyed playing with the boys, getting them to suck his fingers and his cock. He liked to push his fingers up their anus, but found this difficult, as they were so small and tight. The emperor called Benin in to his boudoir and told him of the problem. Benin suggested goose grease would facilitate entry, but it may be a good idea if some cocks were fashioned from wood, which they could sit on. These could be graduated in size and with sufficient use they would widen the anus orifice of each boy.

"Get it done immediately!" barked the emperor. Benin scurried off and spoke to the villa carpenter, who set to work immediately, any request from the emperor must be done straight away as he feared the wroth of the old man.

After his nap the emperor walked out in to the garden. The Greek slave boys had been repositioned on their plinths, their olive skin was turning a nice bronze color from the heat of the sun. Benin suggested to the emperor that an exercise programme should be initiated as some of the boys needed to develop their muscles, so they looked more sleek on the plinths. Again the emperor agreed, so Benin devised an exercise regime, which would start the following day.

Shortly after the carpenter appeared and told Benin that the first set of wooden cocks were ready, they went inside, followed by the ten Germanic slave boys. The carpenter had done a superb job in a short time, each cock had been fashioned out of a piece of mahogany timber and secured to a plank of wood, each one spaced about 70 cms [2½ feet] apart. The cocks looked very realistic, they were about 12 cms [5 inches] long, but only 5 cms [2 inches] in circumference, slightly curved, just like the real thing and even had the veins carved in the side. They were highly polished.

The emperor took up position in a heavy chair to survey the scene before him. The light skinned boys looked apprehensive as Benin took goose grease and applied it to each cock in turn. He took hold of the first naked boy by the hand and led him to where the line of cocks were. He told the boy to sit down on the floor with the cock in front of him, between his legs, his arms behind him. The boy then had to push up with his arms and position his anus above the wooden cock. Benin told him to gently lower himself onto the wooden cock. With some help from Benin the cock was positioned directly under his anus. Benin then told the boy to lower himself down onto the cock, which pushed against the boy's sphincter, with the weight of the boy on the cock. The cock entered the boy's anus, the boy gave out a yelp as the hard wood entered him. Benin then told the boy to push up on his arms and then lower back down onto the cock, and repeat the process, up and down, up and down. Tears welled up in to the boys eyes, but he refrained from crying.

The emperor clapped his hands with glee, and hurried Benin along to get the other naked boys onto their cocks. This was soon accomplished, the emperor then had all the boys rising and falling on their cocks together. He laughed at the site. A couple of the boys began to cry, but the emperor admonished them, that if they didn't stop, they would soon have sore buttocks to go with their sore arse. After some fifteen minutes, Benin suggested the boys should rest and that they should form up in a line to witness the Greek boy's punishment.

The two Greek slaves who had not survived the posing on their plinths, were brought forward by two Nubian Guards, both Greek's were pushed to the floor, kissed the emperor's feet and begged for mercy. The emperor was not partial to forgiveness, but he would be lenient on this occasion and instructed the Nubians to give them 50 strokes each. A trestle was brought up in front of the emperor and the first naked boy splayed across it, his ankles restrained to the rear legs and his wrists secured by leather thongs at the front of the trestle.

The ten boys had a good view of the punishment and were apprehensive as to what they were about to witness. The punishment began, the Nubians laying on each stroke, one from the left one from the right on the first slave. The emperor was obviously enjoying the spectacle, as the Greek slave gave out a scream as each stroke landed on his naked buttocks. The second Greek, standing to the rear of the emperor, winced as each stroke landed and new it would soon be his turn.

The ten little minnows pulled faces as each stroke was administered, two of the little boys shuffled on their feet as they became more distressed as blood began to flow down the Greek boy's legs. Fear welled up inside the two little boys who uncontrollably began to urinate on the floor. The emperor looked at Benin, pointed at the boys who had fouled the floor and made a gesture with his index finger for them to be brought forward. Benin took hold of the boys, one in each hand and led them to the emperor, Benin had them kneel on the floor and kiss the emperor's feet, there they remained until the punishment of the first boy was finished. The Nubians untied the boy led him to the nearest wall and had him face the wall, his feet some 50 cms [20 inches] apart and 50 cms [20 inches] from the wall, he then had to raise himself up on his toes, with his finger tips touching the wall and stretched as high as he could possibly reach, there he would stay until the emperor relented. His lacerated buttocks in full view.

It was now time for the second Greek boy to receive his punishment, the same procedure was adopted, secured to the trestle the punishment began. About half way through the emperor stopped the proceedings and walked towards the boy. He took a cane from one of the Nubians and took up position to cane the boy himself. With fury in his eyes he laid the cane across the boy's buttocks with all the force he could muster. He was in a rage, and with his adrenalin running he delivered stroke after stroke across the boys already bruised and bleeding skin. He went on passed 50 strokes uncontrollably thrashing the boy, releasing his pent up feelings. Although nobody was counting he must have given the slave at least 80 to 90 strokes. The boy had long stopped crying out and was barely conscious, until he finally relented. A pale of water was thrown over the slave to revive him and he took up position next to the other Greek slave against the wall.

The emperor was breathing heavily as he took his seat, and scowled around the room.

"You will all be obedient slave boys, if not I will thrash you to within an inch of your life," he exclaimed.

"Yes sir master," chorused the assembled slaves in fear of further recriminations from the enraged emperor.

The emperor then looked down at the two minnows kneeling to each side of him. He told them to stand and pulled them towards him. "I am going to have you punished, but I am going to be lenient on you as this is your first time," said the emperor. Both boys were close to tears and their legs were visibly shaking.

Benin prompted the boys to thank the emperor. The emperor beckoned the Nubians to him and had the first boy put on the Nubians back, the slave boy clutching him round the neck, his legs dangling down. The Nubian then bent forward, this had the desired effect of the boy's buttocks being in the correct position to receive the cane, the second Nubian stood behind, cane in hand, the whiteness of the slave boy's skin stood out sharply against the black Nubians skin.

"Ten strokes," said the emperor.

The Nubian took aim and brought down a vicious blow across the young slave boy's buttocks. The boy screamed as the pain ripped into his body, his legs thrashed around in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Then within seconds the second blow landed, crossing the first, the boy screamed louder and tears began to flow. The second boy watching from the side urinated again, the emperor ignored the boy as he was enjoying watching the slave squirm in agony as the blows continued to rain down on his delicate skin, the slave boy's skin had broken in two places as the final blow was given, and a small trickle of blood oozed from his battered and bruised buttocks.

"Now you my boy," said the emperor, "as you have obviously not learnt from your friend's ordeal and you have fouled my floor again, you will receive 20 strokes."

"Please master, Oh Lord and master please no master," beseeched the boy, but there was no relenting by the emperor and the boy was lifted onto the Nubians back. As the Nubian was to begin the punishment the emperor stopped the proceedings and selected a thicker cane from the bucket at his side and exchanged it with the Nubian, being thicker it would inflict more pain. The punishment began, as before the boy screamed and thrashed around in an attempt to deaden the pain, but the punishment continued. The thicker cane producing thicker and redder wheals, after six strokes the skin had broken, and with his normal skill the Nubian was able to criss-cross the broken skin with new wheals, the poor boy's tender skin was soon a mass of lacerated pulp, the blood running down his thighs.

"Harder, harder, "shouted the emperor, "I want him to suffer and to be an example to the other boys."

The last few strokes were full force from the Nubian, the slave boy was now just groaning, showing he was still conscious. The boy slid to the floor, Benin stepped forward and took hold of each boy's hand, both were still sobbing from their ordeal.

"One each side," said the emperor "on their knees and fetch leather pails of water." These were not to be drunk from, but the emperor made the boy's kneel on the marble floor and hold the buckets on their shoulders, if they should spill any water, their punishment would be repeated.

Benin was somewhat philosophical of what he had just witnessed, as he had endured the same if not worse himself, but he thought he must protect his charges more carefully and train them better so they do not come to such harm again, if it could possibly be avoided.

The four punished slaves were left in the room, as everybody else followed the emperor in to the dining room. The emperor sat on a huge couch, Benin by his side, who fed the emperor by hand, nobody else was allowed to eat until the emperor had finished. The emperor was becoming bored, so he clapped his hands and the six black Nubian girls were brought in. They were naked apart from a string of beads around their lower belly, this necklace had longer beads shaped in a triangle at the front, which just covered their genitals. The small orchestra behind the screens were told to play and the girls began to dance, slow seductive movements, extenuating their hips and their breasts, the pace of the music increased and the dancers increased their tempo as they gyrated their bodies, and curving their belly muscles in and out. The dance went on and on, the dancers and the musicians awaiting instructions from the emperor to stop, but he would not relent. The dancer's bodies now bathed in sweat, as the emperor instructed the orchestra to play faster and faster. The girls were becoming exhausted, the emperor eagerly awaited for the first girl to collapse, which came after about 1 hour. She was beautiful, about 16 years old. The emperor laughed, as he brought the proceedings to a halt.

"Fetch her here," he said to Benin, who immediately rushed down to help the girl stand and brought her in front of the emperor.

"You have disappointed me child, you must be punished for failing to entertain me until the end," said the emperor.

The emperor clapped his hands and two Nubians brought in the punishment trestle, it was no use the girl pleading for mercy. She just accepted her fate, she was soon secured to the trestle and the Nubians awaited their orders. Meanwhile the emperor told everybody to eat; the young minnows tucking in to a feast, the Greek boys also stuffed their mouths full. The remaining girl dancers were formed in a semi-circle around the punishment trestle to witness the punishment.

The order was given and the Nubians again one either side began to thrash the girls buttocks, she screamed, and tensed against her bonds in an effort to reduce the searing pain that went through her body. Some 40 strokes had been given when the emperor stopped the punishment. The emperor had noticed that several of the Greek boys were excited by the spectacle; their cocks had grown hard, as they watched the girl squirm.

"Fuck her anus," the emperor commanded to one of the Greek boys, who was sporting a hard cock.

The young lad, lean naked and muscular, stepped forward, positioned himself to the rear of the slave girl. Benin suggested some goose grease be inserted into her anus to facilitate entry. As this was done, the Greek boy stepped forward and inserted his cock the full length into the girl's anus. The girl screamed as the boy pumped viciously in and out, enjoying his sexual release, he soon ejaculated and emptied his load inside her. The next Greek boy, who was sporting a hard cock was brought forward, he also entered the girl's anus, she gave out loud groans as he pumped her full of cum. By this time the remainder of the Greek boys had hard cocks, and one after the other they filled her anus, until the cum was oozing out and running down her thighs.

The emperor began to drink vast amounts of red wine. Benin thought this a good opportunity to rescue the slaves in the other room. First he had two of the little minnows crawl under the emperor's toga, one to suck his cock the other to suck his toes, which Benin new was a favorite of the emperor. Benin dismissed the dancing girls, had cushions laid out on the floor in front of the emperor, for the Greek boys and young minnows to lie on. Benin paired them off and had them commit lewd acts on each other, sucking each other's cocks, licking each other's anus's in turn, biting nipples and toes. The emperor was amused at the sight of all the naked boys performing in front of him.

Benin took the opportunity to suggest that it was time to bring in the four boys who had been punished so they could join in the fun. The emperor agreed, so Benin rushed off to the next room to rescue the slave boys, the two Greek boys were still in position, although their heels were almost touching the marble floor. The two little minnows, although it had been at least an hour since they were left, still held their leather buckets full of water on their shoulders, they had spilt a small amount, but the emperor need not know, thought Benin.

He took the buckets off them and helped them stand; their knees were painful from kneeling on the marble floor. Benin told the four slaves to follow him in to the next room, where music was playing the emperor was still consuming copious amounts of wine. Most of the Greek boys were sporting full hard cocks. Benin took the four slaves to kneel in front of the emperor, who told them to stand and turn around. He inspected the damage to their buttocks, telling them it would soon heal, and that they were to be good slave boys to avoid future punishment. He took hold of the two little minnows and squeezed their face cheeks, making them whelp.

To distract the emperor's attention, Benin had the Greek boys stand in two's in front of the emperor. He had the front slave of each pair bend over and told the other one to fuck his anus. One boy pumped in to the other, amongst groans from the recipient, the emperor was enjoying the performance, and suggested to Benin he might want to dance to complete the entertainment. Benin complied and was soon gyrating around the room, shedding his G-string in the process.

The entertainment continued for several more hours until the emperor fell in to a drunken stupor. The Nubian guards, with great difficulty lifted the emperor and carried him to his bed chamber.

The following morning Benin took all the Greek boys and little Germanic boys for a run around the island, up hills and down hills. He was determined to get them all in the peak of fitness, as the young minnows were tiring he had them climb on the backs of the bigger Greek boys and cling on around the boy's necks. This enabled the little boys to rest but gave the bigger slaves more exercise. Benin also enjoyed the exercise running with the slaves, as he was not getting as much exercise as he used to, and he wanted to keep his sleek muscular frame in good condition. Benin was a hard task master, as the boys sweated for at least two hours, the little minnow's running back for the last 20 minutes or so to the villa. Benin made a mental note to obtain, with the emperor's permission, some G-strings to hold the slave boy's cocks in position whilst they were exercising and to ask the carpenter to fashion some weights out of logs of wood.

On their return to the villa Benin allowed the slaves to jump in to the swimming pool to wash off the sweat and grime from the run, and asked one of the Nubian guards to request some food from the kitchens be brought to the slave quarters. The six Nubian slave girls soon brought the food, Benin looked for the one who had been beaten the previous night, she was at the rear of the group, carrying a salver of fruit, he went up to her and enquired if she was all right.

"My buttocks and hole are painful," she said "I hate it here and if I can escape I will, I don't care what the old man does to me, I would rather be dead than suffer under him."

"Do not contemplate such a thing," said Benin, "he would surely kill you, if you tried to escape, I will try and protect you and keep you from further harm."

"Thank-you," said the girl, and planted a kiss on Benin's cheek.

The slave boys soon devoured the food as they were famished from their exercise. Benin ushered the slave boys back to the swimming pool area, they laid naked in the sunshine and rested awaiting the emperor's arrival. Benin went off to the emperor's bedchamber and found that he was just stirring. A Nubian guard announced that a runner from Rome had arrived. The emperor was grumpy as he had a hangover from the wine consumed the previous evening.

"Where have you been Benin?" he enquired.

"I have been exercising the slave boys, master," Benin replied.

The emperor just grunted and put his feet over the side of his bed and waddled out towards the swimming pool. He was quite naked, the rolls of fat wobbled over his belly. Benin went first and quickly told the boys to get on their plinths and the little minnows to jump in the pool.

"Tell them to get out," said the emperor.

Benin had the little minnows scramble from the pool and line up in front of the emperor, who sat on a chair. The little Germanic boys stood dripping wet, the sun glinting on their naked wet bodies. The emperor called the first boy to his side. Benin looked on apprehensively, the emperor thrust a finger in the boy's mouth, and felt his teeth, and then pushed his finger down the boy's throat making him choke. The boy tried to back off but the emperor seized his arm and pulled the boy over his knee, and began slapping the boy's buttocks. Thwack, thwack, thwack, 25 to 30 slaps were given. The boy's legs thrashing up and down from the pain, his buttocks soon became a crimson red. The emperor then pushed the boy to the floor and said, "you do not get in my swimming pool until I say so, do you understand."

"Yes sir master," the frightened boy replied.

Then the next boy was called over, he too was given the same treatment. Then it was the turn of one of the boys who had been punished the evening before, the naked boy straddled the emperor's knees, a wry smile came over the emperor's face as he gently ran his fingers over the wheals left by the cane. He then began to pinch the wheals with his fingers, making the boy scream with pain. He then commenced smacking the boy's buttocks, with more force than before, between each slap he pinched some more, he was obviously enjoying inflicting the pain. Eventually, the entire boys had received their punishment and stood naked in a line, looking down at the floor, feeling sorry for themselves. Benin himself felt distraught at causing more pain for the boys as he had allowed them to swim in the pool.

The emperor then turned his attention to the Greek boys standing naked on their plinths, as he walked along the line, he just looked and inspected them with his eyes, and the boys trembled inside, but escaped any punishment this time.

Benin turned to the emperor and told him about the exercise programme and that he had ordered log weights for the boys to use and that he thought it would be a good idea if all the boys were allowed to have small costumes to wear, to support their balls, as this would preserve their virility. Benin further suggested that the young white Germanic boys should have full costumes to preserve the whiteness of their skin, so as the sun browned the rest of their bodies it would leave white pieces around their buttocks and genitals which he suggested would look quite attractive when the costume was removed. The Greek boys would have G-strings as their skin was already a nice olive color.

The emperor agreed, so the work was put in hand. An elderly lady and two seamstresses were called in from the village to make the garments. Benin had all the boys lined up, and the old lady measured each boy. The young seamstresses looking on took notes of the measurements and gazed at the naked boys, particularly the young Greeks, who also looked at the young girls in their pretty low cut dresses. Some of the boys cocks reacted to the sight they saw, and their cocks began to rise. The old lady had an instant cure and flicked her fingers across the offending boy's cock, which immediately became flaccid. The old lady worked quickly and soon left, saying she would be back in the afternoon for fitting the trial garments to the boys.

The emperor meanwhile was reminded by Benin that a runner from Rome was awaiting audience with him.

"Oh very well, send the wretch in," said the emperor.

Benin fetched the runner, who wore just a loin cloth and had a satchel across his back, which contained the communiqué. The runner entered and immediately fell to the floor and kissed the ground in front of the emperor.

"Give me the message" roared the emperor impatiently.

The runner scrambled up and gave the emperor the satchel, he read the message. The message read.

"The Mongols had crossed the Alps and were massing at the border to Italy. The senate wanted permission to repel the enemy.

"Damn fools, of course they should repel the Mongols, have they no minds of their own," scowled the emperor, who scrawled across the dispatch. "Send Legions immediately!!" And he sent the runner on his way.

Over the coming months runners appeared at the emperor's door, day after day, reporting on the Legions and minor uprisings around the empire, on two occasion's senator's arrived for an audience and were dispatched back to Rome. The whole senate was getting frustrated by the emperor, and plots were afoot to do something about it.

Meanwhile at the villa life continued. The emperor becoming more and more debauched as time went on. It took Benin all his time and effort to keep the emperor amused. The emperor took to watching the boys exercise in the morning, a special chair was constructed, which had shafts attached to each side, four of the Nubian guards one at each corner transported the emperor from hill top to hill top, where he would gain the most advantageous viewing area, to watch the slave boys run up hill and down dale carrying their wooden logs above their heads. Even the little minnows had small logs which they struggled to keep above their heads as they ran for all their might to keep up with the Greek boys. On return to the villa there was no rest, as the boys had to perform in front of the emperor, lying on their backs as they pushed the logs up above their shoulders, or bent over and pick up the logs and raise it above their heads time and time again. At the end of the exercise programme each day, each boy would have to present himself for inspection in front of the emperor.

The exercising has been most beneficial as the slaves became fitter and leaner, the Greek boy's muscles were now quivering in to shape, even the little minnows had muscles growing in their arms and legs, and their belly muscles were beginning to grow. The moment each slave dreaded was on their return to the villa, the last slave of each section to arrive, would be punished. The two slaves in question would follow the emperor and Benin in to the villa, while the remainder of the slaves were allowed to frolic in the swimming pool. Each boy to be punished would stand in front of the emperor who was seated in his ornate chair, first was the little minnow, who was brought forward. The emperor would reach forward and pull the strings at each side of the boy's garment. The garment consisted of fine cloth, pouched at the front with a three quarter back, which covered most of his buttocks, the emperor tossed the garment to one side and looked at the boy, Benin was right, the sun had browned the boy's body but his buttocks and genitals were still pure white, the little innocent minnow looked beautiful, the emperor caressed the boy's white buttocks and played with his genitals.

"This is the second time you have come in last," said the emperor, "have you anything to say for yourself."

"I fell sire, going up hill and I fell backwards, losing my position, please sire do not punish me, I do try very hard to be in the leading group and will try harder tomorrow," said the sniveling boy.

"You were careless, so you must be punished, how many times has he been before me, Benin?"

"This is only the second time sire."

"Very well, twenty strokes this time, on your firm white buttocks," said the emperor.

The boy knew the routine, he bent forward and thrust his head between the emperor's knees, who clamped his head tight by squeezing his legs together. He liked to feel the boy struggle as the blows landed, and it excited him sexually to have close contact. The Nubian Guard was give the instruction and commenced to beat the boy's buttocks; blow after blow landed, the little minnow screamed with pain and jerked forward with each strike. The emperor was enjoying the experience as the boy's head moved forward along the emperor's thighs. Now for the Greek boy, he was told to remove his G-string and step forward, he was about 14½ years old, lean and very muscular, he had a look of defiance in his face, his chest was rising as he took in deep breaths.

"How many times," said the emperor.

"This will be his fifth time sire," said Benin.

The emperor rose from his chair and took hold of the boy's chin.

"You do not learn boy," said the emperor.

The boy did not reply.

The emperor walked round the slave boy, touching him and feeling him, his buttocks, his back, then round to the front, the emperor pinched the boy's nipples hard, the boy did not flinch. The old man then took hold of the boy's balls and squeezed, the slave boy winced but showed no emotion. The emperor then told one of the Nubian Guards to fetch the largest log he could find, he brought one in which weighed about 25kgs [55 lbs]. He told the boy to lift it above his head and to run around the room. The slave set off, a Nubian Guard was stationed at each corner of the room, cane in hand. "Faster, faster," said the emperor. Each time the boy passed a guard, the Nubian caned the boy, the strokes landing on his back his buttocks and his legs, as he circled the room. The slave boy's back was covered in wheals, the emperor then instructed the Nubians to cane the front of the boy as he passed. Soon his stomach, chest and thighs were covered in wheals. After some 40 minutes the slave became exhausted and collapsed to the floor, all four Nubians descended upon him, thrashing his body with all their might, blood had been drawn in several places. Eventually, the emperor relented; the slave was dragged before him and made to stand.

"Have you learnt this time slave?" enquired the emperor.

"Yes sir master, please forgive me," replied the slave as he sank to the floor and kissed the emperor's feet. The slave had received well over 100 strokes of the cane.

Both slaves donned their scanty garments and went back outside, following the emperor and Benin. The rest of the afternoon was more light hearted, the emperor swimming in the pool, chased by his little minnows, the Greek boys on their plinths, the sun beating down, their skins turning a golden brown, wine and fruit drinks were served by the Nubian slave girls, they all wore matching gold lace G-strings.

The emperor thought it would be fun if the slave girls changed places with the Greek boys on the plinths. They looked resplendent as the sun shone on their ebony bodies, and the sweat trickled down their breasts on to their bellies. The two slave boys, who had been punished, stood still either side of the emperor's chair, not daring to move.

As the afternoon wore on into evening, the emperor moved inside the villa and the evening meal was served. The whole entourage followed and stripped naked, as usual the emperor eat first, served by two of his little minnows. The two boys who had been punished stood either side of the emperor, both were given plumes of ostrich feathers to wave through the air to keep the emperor cool.

The carpenter over the months had fashioned many wooden dildos, the latest were mounted on a plank of wood and are massive, some 25 cms [10 inch] long x 14 cms [5½ inch] in circumference. They were laid out in front of the emperor, the Greek boys were told to straddle them. Then on the signal penetrate there own anus's, each naked slave waited while the emperor stuffed his face, he then raised his little finger, which was the signal for them to begin fucking themselves. No grease was allowed on this occasion. As they had had many wooden dildos up their anuses before, but the size of these made it difficult for the slave boys to penetrate. They pushed and strained as they stretched their holes to accommodate the enormous phalluses, some crying out with pain, but they new they must not fail, as the emperor would punish them severely. Eventually they all had the cocks inside them and began pushing up and down with their arms, the strain was immense and the board on which the cocks were mounted began to move, making it more difficult. Two Nubians were sent to stand on the board to hold it in position, as the Greek boys sweated to achieve a good fuck.

"More, more" commanded the emperor, as the slave boys strained to perform for the emperor, he would not relent until all the Greek boys were rising and falling in unison, which they eventually achieved. The emperor applauded their efforts, and they were allowed to stand, two of the boys had blood running down their legs as the huge cocks had torn their anuses.

The little minnows then suffered a similar fate, but this time the wooden cocks were smaller and not mounted on a board but lay to the side of the emperor. Each boy was called forward in turn and as the emperor took hold of a cock, each boy turned round, bent over, while the emperor pushed the cock up his anus. Once all had been inserted, the orchestra was told to play, and the little minnows had to dance around the room. The first one to allow his cock to fall out would be punished, so they all strained and pulled their buttocks in, in an attempt to keep it in position, while still dancing a seductive dance, hoping the emperor would be amused sufficiently to be lenient with the one that failed, as sure as one would. Surprisingly, as the boys became more expert, all managed to keep the wooden dildos in their anuses. The emperor finished eating and allowed the slaves to eat, but not for long as Benin had prepared another show for the emperor.

Benin quickly prepared the little minnows for their performance. The first slave boy was painted from head to toe with silver grease paint and mounted on a plinth a metre [3 feet] high. He had gossamer wings attached to his back and small artificial wings to his ankles and his wrists. He was instructed to turn slowly on his toes, he was the queen fairy. Then the next three had their faces painted silver, these were the queen's attendants. The next three had their faces painted green and were the elves, who had to protect the fairies and the queen. The final three had their faces painted black, these were the hob goblins, who were ordered to capture the queen and present the slave to the emperor. All the slave boys wore matching colored G-strings.

The three attendants danced around the plinth, pirouetting on their toes, the elves danced around looking intently for danger, which arrived in the form of the hob goblins, who attacked the elves. The attack was rebelled by the little elves, but the hob goblins came again and again, and finally won the day. The elves scurried to the corners of the room into the arms of the Greek boys waiting there. The attendants screamed and ran off, leaving the queen exposed, the hob goblins pulled her off the plinth and pushed her down to the floor in front of the emperor.

The emperor had enjoyed the show. Benin suggested maybe it was the right time to deflower the little minnows. The Greek boys in the corners brought the young slave attendants before the emperor, next to the queen, a further Greek boy was brought next to the queen, so there were four little minnows and four Greek boys. Benin walked along the line, removing each minnow's G-string. They stood naked before the emperor awaiting their fate, their little white cocks and buttocks standing out against their now bronzed bodies. Four trestles were brought forward and each little minnow was bent over and the four Greek boys were allowed to fuck them. Each one taking up his position behind a little minnow, who tensed as the Greek boy's cocks pushed against their sphincters and entered the boy's anuses. The little minnows holding on to the trestles as the Greek boys pushed into them, pumping ecstatically the full length of their cocks inside them. The emperor clapped his hands as the little minnows screamed with the force of the cocks up their anuses. The Greek boys made the most of fucking the little virgins and came heavily inside them, their sperm filling their insides.

Now for the second part of the entertainment, the remaining six Greek boys were paired with the six Nubian slave girls, who wore beads around their necks and bellies, through the beads were pieces of light white fabric draped across their bodies, the fabric falling across their breasts and down their bellies and covering their virgina. The Greek boys stood naked.

A trumpet sounded, which was the signal for the boys to chase the girls, running and dancing around the room, the girls screaming as the boys had to remove one piece of fabric at a time from the girl allotted to him. The emperor whooped with delight each time one of the boys succeeded in removing a piece of cloth. The twelve bodies were soon bathed in sweat as they chased at a break neck speed around the room. A Greek boy would fall in his haste, and the slave girl would laugh and run as far away as possible. Eventually the girls were denuded one at a time, as each boy was successful, he would pick up apiece of cloth, tie it around the girl's neck and drag her across the floor to the emperor. Each slave girl lay prostrate on her belly, while the Greek boy held her down with a foot on her back.

The emperor applauded the energetic and entertaining performance, the trestles were brought back and the girls lay on the trestles on their backs, their heads over the back looking at the emperor. Each Greek boy stood between the legs of each slave girl, each one sporting a full erection awaiting the signal from the emperor to fuck the slave girls. They had to wait some minutes as the emperor surveyed the scene before him, six virile, lean and muscled boys fully erect and six naked Nubian slave girls waiting to be fucked, the girl's stomachs rising and falling, their breasts, young and firm at the height of expectancy. He mused on the scene for some time before he gave the order to commence. As the signal was given, the boys stepped forward and thrust their quivering cocks in to the girl's vagina, pumping hard and viciously as the waiting time had made some of the Greek boys nearly climax before the signal was given.

Benin found it difficult to invent more and more tableaus for the emperor's enjoyment and woe betide any slave boy if the emperor became bored as his cruelty increased in magnitude if he was bored. One of his own favorite pastimes was to have the little minnows pick up the heaviest logs and run around holding them above their heads. The first boy to collapse or drop a log was severely beaten, 50 - 60 strokes at least were administered, and the emperor would not relent until blood had been drawn. The debauchery and the emperor's depravity knew no bounds, it sunk to deeper and deeper lows.

Meanwhile back in Rome the senate was becoming more and more restless with the delays in the emperor replying to their requests. Runners would often have to wait two days for a reply. The senators themselves decided to visit the emperor themselves and a delegation of four were sent to have an audience with the emperor. The senate was getting nervous that the citizens of Rome would rebel, as little work was done in the city and more importantly it was months since any games were staged at the coloseum, like the emperor the Roman citizens thirsted for blood.

The four senators, including Crasus, arrived at Caprea and sought audience with Tiberius. They were first told that the emperor was too busy, but after several hours were given an audience in the large auditorium inside the villa. The Nubian guards ushered the senators in, they were not expecting the sight that greeted them, Benin had devised a ballet with the ten naked Greek boys and the ten naked minnows, as the senators took their seats, the music commenced.

The Greek slaves lifted the little minnows above their heads and pranced around the room, slowly and seductively, placing the boys on the floor and pirouetting around them, then again lifting them high above their heads they danced around the room. They repeated this many times, in between jumping high and doing the splits in mid air, finally coming to rest, belly down on the floor in front of the emperor.

"What do you think of my fine lithe slave boys?" asked the emperor to the senators.

"They perform well," the senators replied, with Crasus giving Benin a knowing look.

"We have come to discuss affairs of state," said Crasus, "We have many problems that need your wisdom, sire."

"The Greek slave who slipped over during the dance, do you think I should punish him?" enquired the emperor.

"If you so desire," replied the senators.

"Very well, come here boy," said the emperor, "you will give us more entertainment."

The Greek boy, some 15 years old approached the emperor. His naked golden body physically quivering at the thought of being punished. He bowed low and was told to take up position side on to the emperor, bending over and clasping his ankles. The remainder of the slaves formed a semi-circle to watch the proceedings. The tallest, most muscled Nubian was instructed to beat the boy's buttocks. The emperor selected a thick rattan cane and instructed the Nubian to start. The first vicious blow nearly knocked the boy off his feet, he screamed as the pain shot through his body, again and again the cane ripped in to his buttocks, his legs were visibly shaking, blow after blow was delivered, the cheeks of his buttocks swelling under the onslaught.

"The boy is taking it well, do you not think?" said the emperor to no-one in particular, "each time one of my slaves is punished I insist they receive more strokes than the previous time they were punished, as their skin becomes like leather and so to inflict the maximum amount of pain more strokes must be applied."

Some fifteen minutes had passed and the beating continued, 60-70 strokes had been administered, but on the punishment went, until finally 99 strokes had been administered when the slave boy collapsed to the floor.

"Oh dear," said the emperor," we had not finished and you have spoilt the fun, now we will have to have it done all over again, but not now, after dinner I think, string the boy up by his ankles until I am ready for him." The poor wretch was dragged away.

"Now gentleman, what can I do for you?" Said the emperor.

"Well sire," began Crasus, "We have many things to discuss, could we have privacy my lord, as they are delicate matters of state."

"Benin take the slaves out to the garden, I will join you shortly," said the emperor.

When the room had been cleared, the discussions began. The emperor just yawned and really was not interested. The senators became more frustrated with the emperor's attitude, eventually the senators gave up, and although the emperor invited them to dinner, they gave their leave and left for Rome.

When the senators returned to Rome they reported to the senate who could not believe what they were hearing. A plan was devised, and some weeks later a further detachment of senators was dispatched to Caprea. This time, they laid in wait until darkness fell and approached the villa. A Nubian guard let them in, the emperor had already retired, and was being amused by several of the little minnows, who were attending to the sexual needs of the emperor's body. The senators burst in to the emperor's bedroom, shouted at the little slave boys to go, and took hold of pillows and smothered the emperor's face until breath no longer reached his lungs, although he struggled the weight of the four senators overcame his resistance and he died within a few minutes. The deed, as planned, had been accomplished.

On hearing the noise Benin ran in to the emperor's bedchamber, and could see immediately what had occurred, following him in to the chamber was Caligula, the emperor's nephew.

"Now Benin, you are mine, your little holiday is over, you and your entourage of slaves are mine," said Caligula, as he took hold of Benin's ear and pulled him from the room.
