Gabrielle knew what this would lead to, and she felt nervous. She knew that Xena was no novice in the act of making love to another woman. She had told her all about the 'adventures' with Lao Ma. She swallowed a bitter taste of jealousy and tried to concentrate on Xena's soft kisses on her neck, on her firm but yet sweet touch on and around her nipples.

Gabrielle was no virgin herself, well not exactly anyway. She had made love to Perdicus at their wedding night and it was sweet and nice. But it was nothing like the sensation she felt now, when Xena firmly lifted her up, and laid her down on the pelt.

She watched as her love took her clothes of, never breaking eye contact.

"Gabrielle, I want to touch you." Xena said with a huskiness in her voice that Gabrielle never heard before.

"Ohh Xena,please!" she pleaded. She felt as she were about to explode if she wouldn't touch her soon.

Their lips met and Xena nibbled her bottom lip as her hands made a burning trail along her body. Gabrielle bucked her hips, all her essence screamed out for Xena, screamed in eagerness to have her fill her. As Xena's hand finally made its way to Gabrielle's drenched sex and she felt all of the wetness that was made just for her, her eyes widened and she moaned out Gabrielle's name.

Xena was about to come just feeling how wet Gabrielle actually was, and as she spread her folds and slowly let a finger slip inside her, Gabrielle gasped for air.

"Are you alright Gabby? Shall I continue?" Xena asked worried.

"Mhm, yeah, please Xena. It feels so good. Please don't stop!" Gabrielle panted as every muscle in her body answered to the gorgeous warriors touch.

Xena kissed her again,slowly and full of passion, as she let another finger slip in to Gabrielle's entrance. Gabrielle moaned louder for every thrust and Xena slowed down the pace.

"Not yet. I want you to last long. I want to take you to places you've never experienced before." Xena said lovingly, as she broke the kiss. "Do you trust me?" She asked, searching for some kind of hesitation in those beautiful green eyes.

"With all my heart. To Hades and back." Gabrielle answered with eyes filled with all the convincing Xena needed.

She left a trail of butterfly-soft kisses along her body, and Gabrielle shivered with every touch, as Xena's long raven black hair tickled her burning body. As Xena reached the end of her stomach, where Gabrielle's soft blonde curls started, she looked up at her soulmate, giving her the chance to say no. But the bard was panting heavily, bucking her hips to meet Xena's head as she approached her drenched sex. And when Xena closed her lips around Gabrielle's engorged clit, flicking it with her tongue, Gabrielle called out her name, "Xeeeeeeeenaaaa!"

Xena started sucking and licking the clit, thinking that this must be how ambrosia tasted. She let her tongue play at her entrance, pushing it in and out, just for a while until she returned to the clit, and let two of her fingers take that place instead.

Gabrielle's fingers was entangled in Xena's hair and she pressed herself down to her face as she breathed heavily, grunting Xena's name over and over again.

Xena felt her warm, wet walls tighten around her fingers as she fastened her pace, never leaving the sweet taste of Gabrielle's swollen clit, and soon the bards body started to convulse and she screamed out in the night, "By the gods Xena. I love you!"

Xena slowly withdrew her fingers but left her mouth and tongue to taste the sweet juices that over flooded Gabrielle's already drenched sex. She moaned in content, knowing that she was the one that have done this. Gabrielle's body still convulsed with a few seconds apart as Xena lifted her head, and meet the greenest eyes she's ever seen before. Gabrielle's eyes had darkened with lust and she smiled when Xena looked at her.

"Come up to me." She asked. "Lay beside me, hold me." And Xena climbed up and let the redheaded bard snuggle up in her arms. They met in a warm kiss and Xena wished that it never had to end, but Gabrielle broke the kiss and pulled up her upper body, leaning on her elbow, devouring Xena's face with her eyes.

"If this is a dream, I never want to wake up Xena. I have never been so happy. You are the best thing in my life."

"And you in mine Gabrielle." Xena said, caressing Gabrielle's long hair. "You are beyond the greater good. You are the best part of me."

Their eyes locked on to each-others and they let their souls speak the words they didn't say at that moment.
