Ajax is taken as a slave and brought to a great house by his master, a distinguished soldier. For years he is subjected to serve him; in whatever way he pleases. He is also trained to serve his master’s son Ptolemy, a beautiful boy and Ajax is smitten instantly. One day he makes a mistake that Ptolemy, his master’s son wishes to punish him for but as he finds out it was not exactly the physical pain he had expected but something else entirely… Sample: I knew about the Roman orgies because that Empire grew as I too grew up, and I would eventually be taken there as an overseer for all the younger slaves that were taken from Egypt. Slaves in Egypt were invariably naked and most of the large houses had a bevy of young male and female slaves kept almost entirely for sex. My new master was probably no older than thirty five but already he had a son my own age and several younger ones. He was a high ranking soldier. The eldest son was called Ptolemy, at eighteen he was almost too pretty to be a boy, made more so by the makeup he used on his eyes. I think I started to fall in love with him from the first day I saw him. I was trained to look after Ptolomy, his clothes all had to be perfect and ready to use at any time. The first time I left some of his clothes out instead of carefully putting them away I found that he was very strong and could be quite wicked. Ajax, how dare you leave my clothes like this? I realised he was very angry and fell to my knees begging his forgiveness. Come Ajax, I have a different punishment for you.
