СПАРТАК AU. Капуя, времена Спартака. Кайло Рен - гладиатор в лудусе Батиата. Он влюблен в сына ланисты, Армитажа Хакса. Батиат же никогда не позволит сыну полюбить раба. Здесь много секса, ревности и настоящей любви.
Все, что связано с Испанией, является выдуманным, и это можно воспринимать как альтернативный исторический путь. Это тоже часть AU.
Повязка, которую носят гладиаторы на бедрах, называется сублигакулум, но нам очень понравилось слово "сублигария" из сериала "Спартак", и мы будем использовать ее.
Кайло и Арми необычные имена для Италии, но мы хотим, чтобы у читателя возникла полная ассоциация наших героев с оригинальными персонажами, поэтому никак не будем их коверкать.

The Poison In His Words
Ashur x Female reader
*Warning*: Smut, Dominance, dirty talk!
Frumoasa - Beautiful
.
.
You stood by you're master Batiatus, leaning over the balcony watching, as all the gladiators practiced fighting. "That looks like fun" you whisper,
Batiatus looks at you with confusion "it's a very dangerous sport, I doubt a young fragile woman, such as yourself could possibly last five seconds in the arena".
You nod you're head towards the gladiators, "well, they're not fighting in the arena"
"Those men are trained professionals, you don't even know how to hold a sword, my dear".
You shook you're head "I know I could do it",
Batiatus grasped you're shoulder " Y/N, enough is enough" he said "I believe you could, but those men would rip you apart".
With that You're master walked back inside off the balcony, you stood there watching the men yelp and hauler, then a man caught you're eye.
He was staring at you from across the small practice grounds, when he noticed you noticing him a light smile spread across his face. You're master always told you to be polite, but to never make any indication tword a gladiator that you were interested in him. But he didn't look like a gladiator, You slowly waved at him and continued watching the men fight.
Some time passed, but you could still feel his eyes burning into you. *who is this man?*, you thought. You glanced back over into his direction, but he was gone. In just that you ran back inside "dominus" you yelled.
Batiatus bolted around the corner "Y/N, what is it? Are you hurt?"
"What?" You asked "no a man was staring at me, from across the grounds"
Batiatus' eyes caught sight of something behind you, "Dominus" a male voice said. You spun around to see the man that was taking a good gawk at you, "master that's him"
Batiatus chuckled "Ashur? I told him to keep an eye on you"
Ashur took a few steps twords you, "well, now that you know my name. What's yours?"
You blushed and looked at the ground "Y/N"
Asher smiled and caressed your face, "Beautiful, so beautiful"
Batiatus smiled "Y/N, there's no need to be afraid of him. He's my right hand man"
Lucretia came around the corner "Quintus, you're going to miss the grand reveal in the market square"
Batiatus took her hand "Y/N, stay with Ashur, and no fighting the gladiators"
You nod "yes dominus, I promise"
As Batiatus walks away you feel Ashur gently run his hand up your back, "oh frumoasa, we are going to have so much fun"
You try to swallow the knot in your throat, but you were unsuccessful. "come with me Y/N, I must show you this". You fallow him through doorways and up stair cases, "are we almost there, Ashur". He turned to you, a grin on his face "I like the way you say my name" he caressed your neck with his thumb "say it again"
"Ashur"
"Mmm, yes Ashur" he said "a name of a warrior"
"What were you going to show me" you ask
Ashur looked at you "do you look at me and see a coward"
You shook your head "no of course not, I look at you and see a strong, dominant, honorable, and loyal man"
Ashur tucked your hair behind your ear, "dominant, you say. "Tell me Y/N do you like dominant men"
You looked down "Ashur what were you going to show me"
"Oh yes, just this way" he said
He led you into a giant room/hallway, the ceiling was blue, green, purple, and orange stained glass. The ceiling was held up by large pillars, and beside the pillars were carvings of the men who came before Quintus Lentulus Batiatus.
"Woah" you say, while looking at all the carvings.
Ashur smiled "these are the Dominus' ancestors"
You touch the stone wall, "I've never been here"
"No one comes here anymore, it's a place full of bad memories. And reminders of wars that have been lost and won to protect this, God forsaken house"
You looked over at the men on the wall "these were brave men, fighting for what they love"
Ashur walked up behind you "unlike those gladiators, they fight for sport"
He ran his hand up your thigh, "Ashur...stop" you whispered, Ashur brought his lips to your ear "shhhh, no one will hear. And like I said no one comes in here"
He gently kissed your neck, and started to nibble on your shoulder. "Ashur, please enough"
You spun around and pushed him away, Ashur stumbled back and his back hit into one of the pillars. "You fallow Batiatus' rules don't you?" He breathed "why can't you fallow mine?"
You looked over at the door, then back at him. Ashur shook his head,
"don't even try it Y/N"
You took a dash for the door, but you felt his arms wrap around your waist.
"I said don't try it" he whispered
He pressed your back against the wall, and kissed you hard. You felt warmth run through your body, down between your legs. Ashur let his robes fall to the floor exposing his bare chest, he pulled away from the kiss and took your hand.
Ashur looked you in the eyes, as he gently rubbed your hand over his hard cock.
"Ashur...I" you whisper
"Y/N, just feel it. Feel how ready I am for your little pussy"
"Dominus wouldn't approve"
Ashur leans his face to yours, to where your lips are nearly touching
"Fuck your Dominus"
Just his words was enough to make you give in
You pressed your lips together hard, as he lifts the bottom of you short dress and removes your panties. "Y/N, how much do you want my cock." He asked
You bit your lip and pull out his throbbing erection "just show me what you want to do to me"
Ashur then hoists you up onto his hips and presses in hard, you cry out and rest your head on his shoulder
"Oh your tight, tell me when your ready" he said
You took a moment to get used to his size
"Okay, I'm ready"
With one hard thrust he had you clinging to him
He held onto your hips, he did hard deep thrusts while breathing into your neck.
"Ashur.....p-please......"
"What" he asked "you don't like it when Ashur fucks your sweet little pussy?"
You could feel his cock swelling inside you, He reached down and made gently circles around your clit.
"That's it baby, give in" he whispered, his voice deep.
You started rocking your hips to match his speed, Ashur rubbed your clit harder, you could feel your muscles tightening in your abdomen
"Ashur I'm going to cum" you whimper
"Don't cum until I say, you understand?"
You nodded "yes"
"Yes what?"
"Yes Dominus"
And with that he brace you against the wall and thrusted harder
"You no longer belong to Batiatus, you belong to me" Ashur said through gritted teeth.
You couldn't hold back any longer you needed to let go.
Ashurs thrusts turned sloppy as he felt himself give way, his hot cum releasing inside you.
"Cum for me Y/N" he whispered
You cried out as you came around his throbbing cock, your heart racing as he pulled out.
"That's a good girl" Ashur said through breaths
He gently set you down on the floor, he took a seat next to you.
"Next time, let's do this in my chambers" he said
You leaned against him "agree, in a warm bed instead of against a cold rock wall"
