That must have been the signal for me then. I looked up and I saw a face that looked vaguely familiar.

"Hello there, Pullo. Have you forgotten all about me? I am Heleneia Nestor. We met on your previous journey in Greece, on the mainland. You were traveling through the countryside with this awefully serious looking blond Roman and two hemi-asses. Remember? We met in Epiros and I travelled along with you, keeping you warm at night..."

She blinked her eyes as she told me and I started to gain a visual at her reminiscent story. Yeah.....A little shepherd woman, travelling along with stone head Vorenus and me to Thessaly, to catch up with Caesar's armies. Yeah, that's what I remembered. Soft flesh and a sweet caress. A soft, yet panting voice, insisting "Pullo, oh, Pullo" to play it well...and hard! LOL. Yup. I remembered that.

"Right! That's Heleneia! How are you, honey?" I jumped up and took her in my arms. Those filthy boys were half pulp and half insignificant. Only one bloke, a huge specimen, kept looking at me, as if he wanted to tell me that my sudden dealings with this beauty that was Heleneia were totally unfair to him.

"Hey you! What about me, eh?" he shouted.

I looked at him, Heleneia still in my arms, panting again, just like then.

"Mmmmh, you just be off now, short arsed shit. And take yer scum with you." Still one of my fav lines in all it's variations....LOL

I took my little sweet Greek shepherd by the hand and walked off with her. She dragged me along to a bathing house. Mmmh! A bath! Just what I needed after a good meal!

"What are you doing here, Pullo?" Heleneia asked amused.

"Dunno. I just landed up here. hip wrecked again, me. Can't say I was hailed in here either. Are all Rhodians like them people? And whot are YOU doing here?"

So many questions and just one Pullo to ask them.

Heleneia giggled.

"I live here," she said, "Usually we Rhodians are friendly people, but the Romans have been quite annoying lately, with their taxes and tourism. But I like them. Especially you..." She blowed me a kiss and before entering the baths, I drew her close to me and started making out with her. Hmmmm! Finally, a good, firm breasted woman close to me, sh*gging me! As if it would NEVER happen here!
