    Summary

    Neifile7 asked for a story set in 15th century Italy, so here is a story about Lucrezia Borgia.

    I intended to write a light-hearted romp filled with comic exaggeration, but I found that it was almost impossible to exaggerate her life. For an example, check out the actual, real life details of the notorious Banquet of Chestnuts.

    I suspect that this fic makes very little sense without the context - so please read the notes!

    Thanks to Baby_Elvis for the beta. Any errors and comical historical inaccuracies are mine alone.

    Summary

    Alfonso was so very thick, Cesare thought, as he placed one hand on his shoulder and backed him against the chamber wall. “No, nothing at all is wrong. I only want something of you,” Cesare said, and he trailed his free hand down Alfonso’s chest. He would have this prince on his knees and begging for him by the end of the night.
