An Unexpected Invitation
A deity passing as human wasn't all that unusual in a place like Rome. Change your form, play with the humans, but they always returned home. All except for one.
Gabriel had been passing as a wealthy merchant in Rome for the last five years and was content with his life. There were parties, watching the senators plot and backstab and okay, there were times he couldn't resist pitting one faction against the other. But for the most part he lived an ordinary life. There were men and women that occasionally lingered in his bed, but no one who stayed for very long. He kept up appearances, even going so far as to hire a local mercenary to act as his bodyguard. If the rich kept guards to keep them and their money safe, then in order to blend in, Gabriel would do the same. Sam was a good man. Honest, strong, and in need of decent work before he got pulled into the military or worse.
They had been together for nearly a year before Sam found his way into Gabriel's bed. Strong and dominant and Gabriel was more than happy to let the big mercenary manhandle him around in bed.
"Think I'm going to invite the lovely lady Jessica over for dinner tomorrow. We need to talk a little business before pleasure."
Because Gabriel has a little more in mind than just talking merger.
