Chapter 5

I woke up with the sunlight entering my window and filling my room, it was sunny – a rarity considering our usual weather – I sat at the balcony and took some time to think about what I should do… "I have a life to be lived, a marriage to avoid, an order from my father to fullfil… and all of three seemed to shock!" – I thought to myself.

"And I need time.",

"This is a defining moment at my life!" ,

"I can't repeat the same mess I made with Achilles!"

"All these thoughts at my head giving me ultimatums and no answer, it is frustrating!"

"I need help!" – I thought – " And I may get it with the Prince, he's not that into the idea of marrying, and I may be able to manipulate him, but not exactly as my father wants it" – I smiled at that, the idea of frustrating my father's plane was somewhat encouraging.

"Yeah..I would get rid of Hector, but still would have to worry about Ajax" – I remembered – "That's nothing more here in Sparta for me, I cannot achieve the power and glory that I want, not with my father and brother holding me… Perhaps I should leave the town for good" – And then I realized, the answer to my problem was right there; I was only not wanting to see it. That's it, I only need some time to orchestrate my runaway, and of course some gold.

" Two months are plenty of time" – "That's how Hector will be useful, He can officialy accept the marriage, the preparations for the wedding will start, but I will be gone before the great day" - I finally breathed in peace and went to get ready to the breakfast, after all, thinking great strategies gets you hungry.

(XXX)

I wore a yellow blouse with a red high waist skirt that was open at my right side and went to the garden, Beryl had told me that today the breakfast was going to be there – probably it was Helen's idea – I sat at the table, my brother, my father and Helen were already there.

- Good morning to y'all – I called their attention and got a wave from Radamés as answer, he was in a mood, so I decided to tease him. – I see you are sober this morning Radamés, and doesn't have a whore in your lap.. Now, that's a victory. If you can handle until noon, it will be a record.

- I guess the Gods noticed and blessed us with this weather. If he's able to keep this Sparta would be able to harvest other types of crops. – My father also joked and we laughed together.

- Oh dad, if you really wants that you'll have to lock him in the dungeons – I advised.

- You're so funny today, maybe we should thank a certain Trojan Prince for that! – Radamés played it dirty.

- What's that is supposed to mean? – My father asked me with interest hinting his eyes.

- I don't know what you're talking about, brother! – I stated sounding innocent

- Well, rumor has it that you and Prince Hector were together in the gardens for hours, and after that in the hall in the middle of the night. And you know little sis' people like to talk – He teased. My father gave me a soft smile and Helen looked shocked.

- Then Let people talk, but I can assure you big bro', my virtuous remains intact. – I told sarcastically.

- You're just virtuous as whore in a brothel! – He stated and laughed and I had to admit that one was good.

- Well, brother! Most of men likes some experience in woman, they aren't like you who prefer to be engaged to a thirteen-year-old girl who was not even flowered yet. – I remind him of his betrothal to our little cousin.

- She got the best of you Radames. You're better to surrender! – My father told him between laughs.

- I'm out of here! – Radames told us and left. He bumped in the Trojan Princes at exit.

- What's wrong with him? – Asked Prince Paris

- Pride hurted. – I answered simply.

- By whom is what I wonder – This time Hector spoke

- Can't you imagine? – My father said looking at me and I gave him a playful smile.

Hector's POV

- I have to admit Sparta is a beautiful city!

- Oh, you just got luck. Today's weather is exceptional. Usually is rainy and grey and we cannot enjoy all the city has to offer. - the princess told me

- Are you always like that? - i asked her

- Always like what? - she seemed intrigued

- every time i try to pay you a compliment you just have a quick answer waiting - I pointed

- That's nonsense! - and gave a soft chuckle - You just praised the city's landscape. Not me!

- Well, a foreign Prince is complimenting the beauty of your lands. Any heir would be honored! – I explained her my point of view to what she turned to me in a jolt and with a smile to her lips

- Then there is nothing to cheer, but to worry. Too much interest from a foreign could mean invasion and war – she teased – Are you thinking on invading Sparta because of its beauty, Prince Hector? – She asked.

- Of course not, Princess! Rest Assured! – I laughed at her provocation – My only intentions with Sparta are peace and prosperity!

- Oh – Callie pouted – That´s too bad! – And smirked.

- So, can you explain me again where are we going and why we had to left the horses under the hill? – we were going up a hill that was farther from the city market and Port. Princess Callie insisted on leaving the horses down claiming it would be a difficult rise for the animals, but the walk was rather simple.

- I told you already! It's a nice view from the whole city, specially for you who loved the landscape so much – once again she teased at this time I can't tell if I find charming or annoying.

- Yes, but that was no need on abandoning our horses! They could have perfectly made this climb – I pointed to her

- We're almost there and you'll understand why I left then! – She smiled at me with a playful look in her eyes!

We arrived at the top a few minutes later. The top of the hill was connected to a cliff that led to the sea. It offered a lush vegetation and a breathtaking view off the city. The cliff abyss was very beautiful and very dangerous too. Just like the woman standing next to me, I guess!

- It's beautiful isn't it? – she asked me with a mist of proud and search of approval in her voice.

- I'm impressed! Speechless even! – I answered her

- This is my favorite place in all Sparta I guess – She told me while sitting in a rock nearby – It provides a calm and tranquility that you don't find easily. We can appreciate it!

- Yes, we can! – I agreed.

After a few moments appreciating the view I decided to break the silence again.

- If I recall correctly you told me that you'd show me the city as the common people enjoy it here. So what you Spartans do after climbing up here? – I asked Callie

- Oh my! You're are a curious one, aren't you? – she provoked – But Since you asked… There's one thing people do here that not everybody does, just the brave ones. Are you brave Prince Hector? – I could swear I sensed some flirtation from her.

- Well, My fame comes before me. Those were you words, not mine – I told her and she smiled. She took my hand and moved towards the cliff.

- So, we use to take this ride up here, and then we jump and go swimming to the beach. What do you say? – she looked at me and then to the cliff abyss and the sea.

- JUMP? – I asked her in disbelief – Are you insane? We could hit our heads at a rock and die!

- To be honest, I am a little bit of insane! But It's perfectly safe, I'm not a suicidal. I'll show you. Then you can decide – She took a few steps back and said as if was the most usual thing to say.

- This area is the most distanced from the rocks down there, you just have to take a few steps back and make a run and jump forward. This way It's almost like we fly for a second or two before we make the fall and we avoid all possibilities of rocks below us…. And I'm not on the mood for making the walk back to our horses. I guess I see you on the ground Prince.

after that she made what she had just told me and jumped to the sea. She didn't gave me any time to try to stop her. She was fast like a fox and I just watched her amazed by this woman. I don't know what possibly took me but I had decided to accept her challenge. Next thing I know I'm making the run to jump too. The rush of the fall was amazing. It's been a while since I've felt so alive as I felt now. The adrenaline rushing through my body made me feel so happy, so free. And then I felt the water, washing over me, waking me up to my reality. When I emerged from the water I could hear Callie's laugh and shouts of encouragement:

- OH MY GODS! – she laughed – I can't believe it. You really did! For a moment or two I doubted you would! What changed your mind? – she asked

- Well – I wiped the water from my face and pulled my hair back – I got curious and felt the impulse to try – I swam towards her – Just like I'm feeling the impulse of doing this…

- This what? – she asked curious but I caught her in surprise.

I pulled her closer to me and stole a kiss from her. It began soft, she tried to push me and I pulled her even closer to what she stopped fighting me and joined in the kiss.

Our kiss.

It grew faster, full of desire. Our tongues playing with each other…

Tasting each other. Her nails scratched my arms and I started holding her hair. We stood there kissing until we were out of breath and we grew apart.

- That's what I felt like doing since I laid my eyes on you – I told her

- Well! – She said – I wasn't expecting that from you! You're lucky I actually enjoyed or you would be in great trouble! She said biting her lip.

- Saying that looking the way you are right now just make me want get in trouble with you – I said touching her cheek.

- Really?! – She taunted me.

And this time she came closer reaching for another kiss. We just stood there floating in the Spartan sea making out for the next hour or so. She pulled on me closing her legs around my waist and we started caressing each other sometimes gentle and soft, sometimes rough and full of desire. We created our own rhythm until I was reaching for her pussy playing with her sensitive parts making her moan my name. She gave me more space and I thrust into her. We adapt to each other wishes and desires. We don't say much to each other besides moans and whispers until we both came. I felt relaxation going all over my body and laid floating on the sea. Callie started laughing and dipped into the sea. She emerged a while later.

- Well, I hope you enjoyed the Spartan hospitality – She joked – But I must admit, It wasn't in the plans for today! – She laughed.

- I must say! Risking making you fuller of yourself than you already are: It was an amazing unplanned activity. I hope we can repeat any time soon. – I blinked her an eye.

- Well, aren't you a naughty one? – and she leaned in for a kiss – Come! Let's go back to the beach. We need to dry ourselves – and she led the way and I followed her. Again…
