Free Slave to the Empire (Historical Erotic Romance Novella Book 1) by Lilly Fey

couldn’t control it and what’s worse is that she couldn’t stop it. The Captain stiffened immediately and looked down at her in utter shock, but continued to walk towards the gate as she laughed uncontrollably. As they approached the gate, not only did they get the attention of the guards but a few of the delivery men were now looking at them as well.
    “She’s having a good time, ain’t she?” one of the guards asked the others.
    The Captain responded with a good-natured smile, “Well, I just told her part of a little joke”
    “Hah! Only part? I’d love to see her reaction after hearing the rest of the thing! ” one of the guards said with a laugh.
    “She’ll hear the rest of it later on tonight if she’s lucky”, the Captain said with a knowing wink to the rest of the men. All the men laughed and one of the guards at the gate waved them through.
    Once through the gate, Lucilla’s wild laughter had become a quiet, uneasy giggle.
    “What in the gods name was that?” the Captain asked.
    “You said laugh!”
    “I said laugh not scream like a banshee!”
    “Well that’s my laugh!” Lucilla replied angrily, knowing full well that display was nowhere close to her real laugh.  It was nothing she heard before to be honest.
    “Well, try not to laugh ever again!”
    “Fortunately, that shouldn’t be too hard while I’m around you, Captain.”
    With a grunt, the Captain grabbed her arm and picked up the pace.
    “Come on, we need to hurry.  It’s well after midnight and it’s not the safest area to be running around .”
    It was then that Lucilla looked around and noticed what part of the city they were in. This was an area that she always made a point of avoiding.  Honestly there was no reason to ever visit this part of the city.  The seediness coupled with the vagrants and the pickpockets definitely deterred most law-abiding folk from coming here.
    “Where are we going , Captain?”
    “To a friend of mine.  They have more than enough space to hid e you for a little while”
    Lucilla paused for a moment, quietly grateful that she had a place to hide and a means for escape.
    “Who’s your friend? Why would they allow a complete stranger to stay with them? All because you asked them?”
    The Captain responded matter of factly, “They owe me a favor.”
    “But – “
    “Would you like to stop and discuss this further right here? Or would you prefer to distance yourself further away from the palace and get to someplace safe?”
    At this, Lucilla abruptly stopped talking altogether.  This didn’t seem to phase the Captain. They continued to walk in silence for what seemed like hours down winding roads and alleyways until they were well into a much nicer area of the city. Lucilla was just about to ask when they were going to reach their destination when the Captain stopped walking and was standing in front of building.
    “What? Why have we stopped?”
    “We’re here”, the Captain replied nodding at the building in front of him.
    Lucilla then looked up anxiously and read the sign that hung at the door.
    “You can’t be serious?”
    Staring down at her in large brightly painted letters read, “LADY LUPA’S HOUSE OF SOLACE”
    “A whorehouse?”
