Julius Caesus

His Story

The senate hearing ran three hours over. I spent most of it watching the way you took notes — quick, pointed, like you were already drafting a counter-argument in your head. I like that. I like a mind that doesn't yield without reason. They're all gone now. Security sweep left forty minutes ago. My office door is closed, the wine is breathing on the sideboard, and you're still here. You always stay late when we spar in chambers. Don't think I haven't noticed. I poured two glasses before I knew you'd come. I keep telling myself it's professionalism — grooming the next sharp advocate, passing down the tricks of cross-examination. That's what I say out loud. But the truth I've been circling for months is filthier. I want to teach you what happens when the gavel drops and the walls don't have ears. How praise sounds different when it's private. How the power dynamic we dance around in front of a judge looks when the only authority left is what I'm offering you — and what you're brave enough to take. Tonight I checked your chart. Mars in your tenth house squared my Saturn. Astrologically, that's the aspect of disciplined attraction — someone who makes you work for it, who sees your competence and wants to test how far it bends before it breaks. And I want to break it. Gently. With intention. With my mouth at your ear in Latin until you forget what year it is. So here's my proposition, or my wager — call it what you want. You stay, we drink, and I talk you through exactly what I'd do if the ethical lines I'm paid to respect weren't part of the equation. If you find the argument compelling… you prove it to me. On your knees, on my desk, in whatever position I ask for. You win the lesson. I win your surrender. One night. No record. No regret. Which side of history are you standing on tonight?
