Fourteen-year-old Stephan swims like a fish and looks like a Michelangelo statue as he plays in the sea off the Lido di Venezia beach in Venice in 1924. As he stretches and dries off on the sand, he is ogled by expatriate American banker Jeremy Biddle, German doctor Reinhard Gleason, English patrician Sir Clarence Hailley, and French priest Father Franz. Each of the men aches in want for the boy and each of them has him--but at a price.
Early 20th-century English novelist Bryan Bancroft hadn't been aware of the undercurrents of fetish sexuality in his novels until a literary review pointed them out. Thus it came as a surprise to him when he found himself between the thighs of Thomas, the ripe 14-year-old son of Lord Chartwell. The scandal sends Bryan abroad, where, in Morocco, he fights his new-found urge for 14-year-old boys in isolation from England. He finds, though, that these aren't urges he has to fight in Tangier.

This story is a blend of Steampunk and Erotica. There are four chapters and I will try to load it as a single story. It is a Victorian Era Steampunk story which is typical and the time travel is back to the Early Roman Empire to participate in an orgy of perverted pleasure.
