Ai ni Hizamazuku Toki (Novel)

Lucianos is the head of a prestigious aristocratic family. Though considered quite beautiful, he is seen as socially awkward and unfriendly—which suits him just fine. Everything changes when his life is saved by the handsome gladiator known as Dominatos. Suddenly, Lucianos is filled with feelings he's never experienced before! Lucianos throws money at the man and meets him for secret trysts, knowing their social status further complicates matters. But when Dominatos decides to fight the emperor's favorite gladiator, will Lucianos lose the only man he's ever loved, or does fate have other plans? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
