I don't think Caius loved Athenodora. He just saw her as a weakness and a threat to his survival, so he had her locked in a tower, and Corin was there on orders to basically sedate and hypnotize her into believing that she was happy about it. Remember, Marcus was an empty shell after his mate was killed. In Alice's fight vision Marcus allows himself to die, and doesn't put up a fight. Caius was afraid the same thing would happen to him. Same thing with Aro and Sulupicia.

Also, sex isn't just of loving someone unconditionally, although I believe it sould be. It is also a result of lust. It could be empty and meaningless.
