Amy washes
Annona's back
the water running down
over her body
the smell of perfumed ointment
the smoothness
the skin
Amy's lips near
wanting to kiss
but knowing too risky
even if her mistress
should want it
Amy moves her fingers
touching Annona's skin
between thighs and calves
Annona reaches behind
feels Amy's hand
holds it
feels the fingers
touches
wants to mouth the fingers
slowly and hold them there
and place them
within her
but too risky
Annona knows
letting Amy’s fingers go
feels water running
all of her husband's semen
going away washed off
and gone
she kneels
head bowed
senses Amy's fingers
touch her hair
wash and move
fingering
she closes her eyes
senses Amy
so near
smells her
wants her
Marcus shafts her
all too much
while home
from Caesar's campaign
she feels the water
down her back
like soft cool rain.
