Sextus looked at Valerius and asked point blank. "Do you expect me to believe that your being here at the exact same time as me was completely coincidental? Surely you know that this is private property. I could have you detained."
Valerius just looked up at Sextus and smiled. "I have been a bad boy, maybe you should punish me."
Sextus laughed. He then reached over and ran his fingers through the lad's hair. "So, you want punished do you?"
Valerius grabbed the hand that was running through his hair and brushed it close to his lips. "I have trespassed upon your land, I must be punished to the FULL EXTENT of the law."
The double entendre was not lost upon Sextus. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
Valerius smiled. "You need to ask?"
Sextus dropped down upon his knees so that he was face to face with Valerius and kissed him lightly upon the lips. Sextus felt the lad's hands upon his chest but stopped them before they could go anywhere else.
"Well, shall we go?" asked Sextus
"Go?" asked Valerius. "But I thought that we were going to..."
"To make love?" asked Sextus. "But wouldn't that be hurtful to Philandros?"
In his mind Valerius thought TO HELL WITH PHILANDROS but when he spoke he spoke what was in his heart.
"You are right Sextus, I could not do that to Philandros, he is the sweetest boy I have ever known."
Sextus hugged the lad. "Why don't we go back to the villa and have some lunch."
Valerius smiled again. "I would like that, I would like that very much. Now let us find our clothes and get dressed."
Sextus kissed him once again. "I think that we are going to be great friends."
