Erotic, Amazing Amazon Read First Chapter
“A spellbinding erotic tale proving that one must live life to the full, and never be closed off to new adventures when faced with an unknown path. It might just be the road to enlightenment.” AR
“Spying the Alcove by Laura Tolomei drew me into the magic of finding new treasures, and not of the materialistic kind. I immediately fell for Andrea with his familial background and the Professor who looked past it and hired Andrea for his accomplishments. It showed that over time friendship can progress to so much more and made me smile. In an effort not to give too much away, I’ll say that this story won my heart and I’d enjoy reading it again.” TTL rated it 4 Lips
“Laura Tolomei has written a scorchingly hot tale of a modern day man in Italy being drawn back into the passionate lives of his ancient ancestors by a magical artefact.” AR
“This story of love and acceptance was a very intimate look at two lovers finding a bond between themselves. The book shifts between remembrances of Andrea and his former lovers, the present with the two men and the vision scenes with Lidia and her lovers as the story flows from one to another. At times, I found this a bit confusing but I can also understand the direction the author chose to follow in this endeavor. The characters are very vivid and the progression in Valerio’s attitude towards Andrea as he faces his true feelings are portrayed very well.” BBB rated it 3.5 Tombstones

Valerio, Andrea, a medallion & a long-forgotten erotic tale whose sensual message is as true today as it was in ancient Rome…if only Valerio would care to listen to Andrea’s claim gender should never be an acceptable limit for sex or to the Roman matron’s inhibited displays in her heated alcove. Apparently two unconnected stories, an ancient medallion brings them together as Valerio spies the heated alcove in a vortex of repressed craving and burning desire.

When his assistant declares sex is to be shared for it’s too precious to lock away in a drawer or save for an exclusive use alone, that it’s free, and has no limitations except our own and gender should never be an acceptable limit, the Professor has trouble accepting this simple concept despite the intriguing tale of a Roman matron’s journey into erotism. Apparently two unconnected stories—Valerio and Andrea in modern day Sicily, Lidia and Brutus’s hot passion in 1st century AD—an ancient medallion will bring them together as Valerio spies the sensually burning alcove in an increasingly unbearable sexual tension.
EXCERPT PG double
“Don’t you miss Paolo?” Valerio asked, a surprised look crossing his face.
Andrea shrugged. “Not particularly. He’s a bit too jealous for my taste.”
Valerio grinned. “Weren’t you just telling me how men fare better than women in the jealousy department?” he teased.
Andreas tensed. “They usually do, but there are always exceptions that—“
“No need to explain,” the Professor cut him off gently. “I know you believe in open relationships, but surely not everyone does.”
“Oh, I believe in sleeping around with whomever I like whenever I like,” Andrea grinned, “and I’m sorry for all those who don’t.” He shrugged. “This is one of the few things experience has taught me and I try to live by it.” Taking a deep breath, he wondered briefly if it was wise to reveal a heart-felt conviction that could seal his destiny one of two ways, quickly making up his mind to risk it all. “Sex is meant to be shared. It’s too precious to lock in a drawer, throwing away the key, or save for an exclusive use alone. It’s free and has no limitations except our own. And gender should never be an acceptable limit.”

“You didn’t like it, Lidia,” Brutus decided for me, his hand gently stroking my hair.
I raised my head to look him straight in the eyes. “No, I…I’m not sure,” I admitted frankly.
He picked me up effortlessly and placed me on his chest, my small body only partly covering his. “Did it upset you to see two men fucking?” he asked, stroking my cheek.
“I…I didn’t expect it,” I admitted.
“And you’d never seen it?”
I shook my head.
“And what didn’t you like?”
I remained in silence for a second, wondering how truthful I should be.
“Listen, Lidia,” he urged, “it’s just sex, the best pleasure available at any time. And it should be shared with as many as possible, regardless of their gender.”
“But you’re a man,” I protested, “and to see you act like a woman was intolerable.”
He grinned. “There’s just as much pleasure in giving as in receiving. They’re two sides of the same medal, just like domination and submission. The important thing to remember is that it’s just sex. It doesn’t imply I change as a person because I fuck with men rather than women or both. Whether I stick my cock in someone’s ass or have it stuck in mine doesn’t make me less of a man, Lidia.”
EXCERPT PG
Valerio shook his head. “I didn’t think they could get so jealous to check on my movements.”
Andrea squeezed his knees, causing a fresh wave of longing. “Men are less possessive,” he assured. “Perhaps you ought to consider our sex, rather than being the usual victim of women’s jealousy,” he teased, a large smile brightening his face.
Feeling every second closer to danger, Valerio shifted nervously, hoping Andrea would take his arm off his legs. “I don’t like men, never had.”
“What is it you don’t like? The Greeks used to think the highest art form was the male body.”
“They were Greeks.”
“So we’re Italians, their proudest heritage.”
The Professor grinned. “Not enough to change my tastes.”
“Only because you haven’t found the right person,” Andrea assured.
“What do you mean?”
“That physical attraction has no rules or boundaries. A man could fall for another man even if he’s never considered them as possible mates.”
“How would that happen?” The ground was getting shakier by the second, yet Valerio could not stop.
Andrea shrugged, his hand casually abandoned near the Professor’s crotch. “Take us, for example. Working in close proximity,” his hand circled Valerio’s knee, “sweating every day under the hot sun,” his circles deepened, “half-naked most of the time.”
“We’re colleagues,” Valerio pointed out uncomfortably.
“So what’s stopping us from taking the relationship a little further?”
EXCERPT PG – What’s stopping you?
Valerio picked up an exquisite vase. “Me, too,” he agreed. “Look what I found digging here.”
Andrea took it. “Late IV century Greek style,” he appreciated, turning it around.
“You say it for the pictures or the workmanship?” Valerio teased, adjusting his buttocks on the flat ruin he had been sitting on since the morning.
As usual, the vase depicted several erotic scenes between men, their black silhouettes shifting positions around the brownish terracotta material.
Andrea grinned and sat beneath Valerio on a lower rock. “Both, Prof.” He studied the vase more. “I would have liked to live during Greek times,” he admitted, “where a man could have sex with another man and no one would see it as a threat to normality.”
“You would have had to marry anyway,” Valerio pointed out, “at least if you were in the lucky class of people.”
“If I were a slave, I’d have probably been better off…” Andrea turned to gaze deeply at Valerio. “Just serving my Master,” he added huskily.
The last words stopped Valerio’s heart cold. His already heightened senses twitched and the embarrassing stirring in his crotch did not help matters. Swallowing hard, he pretended indifference. “Really?”
“Yeah, I would have gladly served him.” Andrea’s gaze returned to the vase. “But I would have married, too, if my family required it.”
“Like you would have in Sicily if Carmelo hadn’t betrayed you?” Valerio inquired softly.
The assistant shrugged. “I may have. I mean, Sofia didn’t mean anything to me, but I owed it to my family.”
“And kept Carmelo as your lover?”
Andrea took a deep breath. “I know it sounds horrible—“
“Especially for Sofia,” Valerio reminded.
“My problem is that I’ve never really cared for women’s feelings. It’s not even a question of taste. I neither like nor dislike them. For me, they live on a separate universe, one I’m not interested in.” He turned and casually placed his elbows on Valerio’s knees. “Maybe you ought to tell me about them so I can be more open-minded.”
The proximity sparked a wave of uncontrollable desire that Valerio had to fight back before he could open his mouth. “I’m no expert on women,” he said thickly.
“Of course, you are, Prof. I’ve seen at least two beautiful women asking about you at the University.”
“When?”
“A few days before we left. The blond one—“
“Sara.” Valerio provided the name.
“Whatever. She seemed very interested in our fieldtrip.”
“I bet she was,” the Professor mused.
“The brown-haired one—“
“Did she have brown eyes, too?”
“I…” The blondish man’s forehead creased in an obvious effort to remember. “I think so,” he said at last, though his tone held no certainty.
“Then it must be Rosa.”
Andrea grinned. “So you have two brown-haired and a blonde one?”
“Don’t stray from the topic,” Valerio scolded teasingly. “What did she want?”
“Basically the same thing as the other one, only she asked if any women would come along the expedition.”
Valerio shook his head. “I didn’t think they could get so jealous to check on my movements.”
Andrea squeezed his knees, causing a fresh wave of longing. “Men are less possessive,” he assured. “Perhaps you ought to consider our sex, rather than being the usual victim of women’s jealousy,” he teased, a large smile brightening his face.
Feeling every second closer to danger, Valerio shifted nervously, hoping Andrea would take his arm off his legs. “I don’t like men, never had.”
“What is it you don’t like? The Greeks used to think the highest art form was the male body.”
“They were Greeks.”
“So we’re Italians, their proudest heritage.”
The Professor grinned. “Not enough to change my tastes.”

“What do you mean?”
“That physical attraction has no rules or boundaries. A man could fall for another man even if he’s never considered them as possible mates.”
“How would that happen?” The ground was getting shakier by the second, yet Valerio could not stop.

“We’re colleagues,” Valerio pointed out uncomfortably.
“So what’s stopping us from taking the relationship a little further?”
Carmelo had sucked him hard, his tongue wrapped lavishly around the thick length, trying to swallow the bulging head pressing on his cheek. Hips pushing forward, Andrea had wanted to plunge deeper while savoring the avid tongue’s vigorous laps on the stem. The man’s hands worked as fast as the tongue, a steady slide that drove Andrea crazy and made him spill his guts into the hungry mouth.
Not at all surprised, Carmelo had not let go of the limp organ, nursing it back to a healthy stand, thanks to his tongue curl as well as the furious sucks almost to his throat. In a matter of minutes, Andrea was ready to start everything over again.
“Stick it in my ass,” Carmelo had ordered, leaning against a stone pillar and pushing out his naked butt.
EROTIC M/M
Turning around, they continued their oral sex until Paolo trapped Andrea under him, leaning heavily on his buttocks to keep him down. Despite the attempts to break free, Andrea could not stop Paolo from using his firm roundness as a playground, either sinking his teeth into the tempting flesh or teasing the narrow hole with long, forceful licks. Understanding the new game, Andrea stopped struggling, surrendering to Paolo’s interested explorations.
Switching to wet fingertips, Paolo traced the outer rim of the hidden hole, feeding Andrea’s burning desire. The assistant groaned, pushing his ass further up, willing to sacrifice it to Paolo’s own hot excitement. Yet, for both men the torture seemed too sweet to end. Paolo bent again, his tongue replacing the finger’s slow stirring. With a hard point, he licked the edges, then pushed inside the narrow opening and Andrea’s flesh wrapped around it, sucking him down its depths. Paolo pulled back, then shoved forward, increasing the rhythm to match Andrea’s swaying movements.
“Please, take me,” Andrea begged, his nerves completely on fire.
Paolo obeyed. Aiming his cock at the narrow hole, he nudged the entrance to get inside. With relaxed muscles, Andrea surrounded the bulging head penetrating inside, sucking it down. After another groan, he raised himself on his hands and knees to accommodate the cock better. Adjusting to the change, Paolo first pulled back, then shoved forward, sliding the entire bulging head through. One more push and Paolo was firmly inside, held prisoner by the tight flesh that wrapped around his thickness.
Sliding in, then out, he set the pace for their ride, Andrea soon following his movement, pushing back at every thrust until Paolo pulled out and tipped the assistant down on the bed, making him lie on his back. Grabbing his legs, he held them against his chest, raising the ass to meet his still hungry cock. His first shove penetrated almost to the hilt and they resumed their dance more vigorously than before.
EROTIC M/F
“Please,” I begged at last, not really knowing what I wanted.
“Please…what?” Brutus asked ironic.
“Take me, fuck me, do something…anything. I can’t stand this torture any longer,” I replied, my head feeling hotter with the blood rushing to it.
“This is just the beginning,” he assured, bending on his knees.
I tensed, unsure what he wanted to do. When I felt the wet tongue circling my ass hole, a wave of desire hit me so hard I almost fell. As if expecting it, he held me firmly on my legs, his tongue hardening as the circles narrowed on the hole. He lingered on the outside without taking the plunge despite my swaying. His slow rimming was irresistible, but he didn’t stop there.
Still holding my legs, his fingers traveled to my bursting clit, brushing it lightly. I almost jumped at the unfamiliar sensation. Men had never touched me there so I didn’t know how it felt. Even more surprisingly, his tongue slipped between my open legs, vigorously lapping the dripping wet skin hidden underneath. I tensed again, unsure about the situation. No one had ever taken this kind of interest in my body, let alone my pleasure, and the feeling was unsettling at best. But he kept going, uncaring about my reactions, his aim seemingly to make me feel more pleasure. So I dispelled the doubts, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
Brutus’s wide spread tongue stroked the outside of my slit before rubbing its hard tip along the inner folds. I felt myself drip into his mouth, my fluids mixing with his saliva in a delicious combination. I slid on him, pressing down to brush harder against his tongue and he did not stop me. In fact, he even moved to the center of my throbbing sensation, hard tip curling around it before licking lavishly.
It would have been more than enough for my excited senses, but unexpectedly he added something more. With a decisive shove, Brutus pushed two fingers in my slit while other two ravished my asshole.
EROTIC M/M/F
“The lady’s having fun,” Britannicus mused, stopping my head. “That place you’ve found, Brutus, must be really something. Mind if I try it, too?”
“Love switching,” Brutus assured.
Pulling out of my ass, he brought me to the triclinium where Britannicus had already lain down. With my back turned to the sprawled man, Brutus placed me on top of the jutting dick, pushing until my asshole felt the hardness nudging at the entrance. I tensed for a second, but he didn’t give me time to adjust. With one fast shove, Britannicus’s cock penetrated deep inside all the way to the balls.
“It feels excellent, Brutus,” Britannicus remarked, again talking as if I weren’t there.
“Yes and it’s going to feel even better.”
He made my back stretch down on his friend’s chest, my legs on either side of Britannicus’s body left my slit wide open for another guest. Kneeling between his friend’s legs, Brutus’s hungry cock penetrated in the free space, soon giving me a taste of his harsh shoves, which paired with the ones I felt in my ass.
The two immediately found a congenial rhythm and all I could do was lie there, trapped between them, my crushed body completely possessed by them. And it was magnificent. Never in my life had I felt so deliciously full. Cramping my tight spaces, my flesh wrapped around such big, hard cocks, wanting to suck them dry. The awareness that both wanted me, was pure pleasure in itself so I let their tide wash over my body. I couldn’t move anyway, their shoves jiggling me until everything shook on its own, fiery contractions spreading from the center to the farthest corners.
EROTIC M/M/F
I didn’t quite understand what he meant until I started playing. My mouth reached for the cock, but it had to fight against Brutus’s hungry attacks. Our tongues battled strenuously over the soft skin, lashing out in hard laps to gain full control. Our battleground was becoming harder by the second, its bulging head flopping from one mouth to the other. When I managed to outwit Brutus, I sucked fast and deep, knowing I didn’t have the privilege of time. Too soon, my rival stole it from me, sucking just as hard, but managing to nurse it longer than I did. Sometimes, we even missed our target altogether and our tongues simply curled around one another, challenging more action. It was always Brutus though, who managed to get free and return to his intended prize.
In a matter of minutes, both cocks were as hard as stone and neither had trouble slamming into one of my available holes. Brutus’s shaft strained against my stomach so I pulled up to give it the room it demanded. Taking advantage of my stirrings, Brutus gestured at Britannicus. “Time to show the lady we also appreciate her sex, not just ours.”
“And I know exactly how,” Britannicus agreed, picking me up and bringing me back to the bed.
Brutus followed us. “But I want her sweet ass this time,” he warned getting closer.
“As long as there’s room for me, too, you can have whatever you like,” Britannicus grinned, already lying on his back. Holding me by the armpits, he flipped me around to straddle him, bringing me down on his hard cock, and my flesh closed it in completely. I wanted to take a moment to enjoy the feeling of the hardness filling me, but they didn’t give me any time. Pushing down my back, Britannicus spread my buttocks apart for Brutus to take his own plunge. “Come on, lover, shove that big dick of yours into her ass,” he urged.
“Wait,” I begged as I felt the hard tip penetrating because my asshole had tightened painfully, the impact a bit too sudden for my tastes.
“She’s just being coy,” Britannicus intervened, holding my shoulders to block any movements.
“I’m not,” I protested, trying to get free. “I just want—“
“Nothing, woman,” Britannicus cut me off. “Your body now belongs to us and we’ll do what we damn please with it.”
