Gabrielle could hear what Xena was saying to Borias and her eyes went WIDE. What was Xena doing? She knew she would have to go through with whatever Xena had planned, but WHY? She sat quietly as she waited for Xena's return.

Borias chuckled. He liked the sound of that very much. He wanted a piece of that sweet young thing in the tent. And he loved the thought that she had never been taken by a man before. "I'll break her in..." Borias promised. "And you'll be right there... preparing her for my entry..."

"I can't wait to see that," Xena said in a sultry voice. "Now, will you let my little slave and I have a little alone time, first? I need to get her prepared for what is to come..."

"I shall be back at nightfall, Xena... And I won't be kept waiting," Borias said, before walking away.

After he had gone, Xena returned to the tent. "We need to brew a tea," Xena said to Gabrielle. "I need herbs."

She began looking around the tent for the herbs she required. "We will brew a special tea for Borias... so that tonight, he will be fooled into thinking he completed the act with you," Xena explained. "In reality, he will have fallen into a deep, hypnotic sleep."

"When he awakens the next morning, his memories will be foggy... but he will think he has had you," said Xena. "Later, when you announce you are pregnant,
he will think he has done the deed."

"I can hide my pregnancy behind my thick, heavy furs, and we can pad your stomach, so everyone thinks it is you that is with child," Xena went on to say. "When the baby comes, no one will be the wiser. Only you, me, and Satrina will know the truth."

Now Gabby understood. "Okay," she responded with a nod. "Whatever you need me to do." She could easily play along with this. If it was going to help Xena conceal her pregnancy then she would do it.

Xena thought she had it all figured out. The plan sounded fool-proof. Soon Gabrielle would be "pregnant" and Borias would think he had fathered her baby. In no time at all, Xena had a tea brewed to give the unsuspecting Borias. She would make sure he had a really good time before the tea made him pass out, and he would be none-the-wiser to her scheme.

"Gabrielle, when Borias gets here, we have to do everything in our power to show him a good time. I am not ready to share you with him yet... not completely, and perhaps never, but I do want him to think he is the father of the baby and he is anxious to bed you, so this way he thinks he got what he wanted," Xena explained. "I learned how to brew this tea during my time with the Amazons. He will fall into a deep slumber before he can complete the act with you."

Xena raised Gabrielle's chin, looking into her eyes. "You are MINE, and don't ever forget that." She slowly brushed her lips against Gabrielle's as though the kiss sealed her possession of her young slave.

"Now, undress and lie down on my robes. I will prepare you for tonight..." Xena told Gabrielle.

Gabrielle nodded her head and did as she was told, undressing, going to the robes, and lying down. She just hoped that this would work. She didn't know what would happen if Borias and Xena's men discovered Xena was pregnant.

Xena warmed scented oil over the fire. It smelled of sandelwood and almond. After it was the right temperature, she brought it over to the robes where Gabrielle lay naked. She knelt over the blond as she applied some of the oil to her fingertips. "Borias will want to kiss you," Xena said in a soft whisper as she lightly pressed her lips to Gabrielle's. Meanwhile, her fingers were applying the oil to Gabrielle's breasts. She massaged the oil into Gabrielle's soft flesh. She rubbed the nipples, making them glossy.

Her lips moved across Gabrielle's neck as she murmured in Gabby's ear. "And he'll touch your breasts... like this." She gently pinched Gabrielle's hardening nipples.

Gabirelle enjoyed the kiss and the touch. She swallowed hard, looking at Xena. "What should I do?" she asked as she wanted to be sure she knew everything Xena wanted to have play out during this sexual encounter.

"Just enjoy it," Xena said, smiling slightly as she looked down at Gabrielle.

"You do find Borias attractive, don't you?" Xena asked. Perhaps her little slave didn't like men. Perhaps she only wanted women. Xena wanted both.

Gabrielle looked at Xena. "He's good looking, yes," she said. She herself wasn't sure where she stood as far as her sexual orientation; although she did really like being with Xena.

"Yes, he is good-looking. In fact he's hot... and damn sexy," Xena agreed. "And he's good in bed. Believe me. He truly knows how to please a woman."

Xena's voice was sultry as she spoke of Borias's skills in bed. The man had always pleased her greatly, but Gabrielle looked not quite so convinced. "Gabrielle, I won't leave you. I'll be right here. And I'll be making love to you, too, while Borias is doing his thing," Xena promised. "We just have to convince him that he had ALL of you, even if he didn't get a chance to go all the way, so he thinks he got you with child."

Gently Xena caressed Gabrielle's long blond hair as she spoke to her. "Have you ever seen a man naked before, my little slave? Have you ever seen a long, hard throbbing cock?" Xena asked as she gazed into Gabrielle's emerald eyes. "Would it turn you on to see me touching him there? To see me licking his tip?" Right now, Xena was testing Gabrielle... just too see what aroused the young woman.

"I'll be fine if you're there, too," Gabrielle spoke softly. She didn't know how she would feel seeing Xena do those things to Borias.

"I've never really watched that before," she said honestly.

Softly and tenderly Xena caressed Gabrielle's cheek while gazing into her beautiful emerald eyes. "I won't leave you, My Love," she whispered softly. Her lips lightly brushed against Gabrielle's. Gently then she continued to apply the heated, scented oil to Gabrielle's body. Not one inch of the little slave did she miss with her massaging touch. She wanted Gabrielle to be relaxed and ready for Borias. She went to check on the tea which was brewing and found it to be nearly ready. When Borias arrived, they would be ready for him.

Xena began taking off her clothes until she stood there, completely naked and ever-so-sexy. She walked back to where Gabrielle lay on the robes, bringing some food. "Eat, little one," she encouraged her little slave. "He will be here soon."

As Gabrielle took the tray of food, Xena lay back against the robes, gazing at the younger woman. Gabrielle looked so beautiful, her skin glistening with the almond-scented oil. With a long fingernail, Xena lightly traced one of Gabrielle's nipples, making the pink peak rock-hard. She winked at Gabrielle as she lounged against the soft robes.

Gabrielle's mind was not food as Xena was touching her, but she made herself eat though. Biting back a groan of pleasure, she felt Xena's teasing touch. It felt so good.

Xena reached for a small piece of meat on the tray and popped it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. Her eyes never left Gabrielle. She was such a beauty... and all hers. Ever since Gabrielle had came into her life, she had nearly forgot all about her plans to conquer the world. All she could think of was being with her little slave.

Xena took a sip of liquid to wash down the food she had just eaten. She then bent down slightly, kissing Gabrielle. Just then Borias walked in, seeing the two naked women on Xena's robes. A sexy smile came to the warrior's face. "Hello, Xena... Gabrielle," he said as he took off his furs and began to strip down. "Gabrielle, are you ready to see what it's like to be with a man?"

Xena smiled at her sexy lover, Borias. She reached out a hand to him. "I have her all ready for you, Borias. Why don't you join us?" she suggested. "And bring over the large goblet of hot sweet tea I've prepared for you. You must be parched after your long ride."

"It's another long ride I am thinking of now," said the handsome and virile Borias as he found the mug and took it in hand. He then joined the two naked women who were lying down on Xena's robes.

At that moment, Borias shed the last of his clothing, exposing his very large, erect cock. It was throbbing with need as he saw Xena lightly fingering one of Gabrielle's nipples. The little slave was so young and beautiful and Borias wanted her very much. "Gabrielle, have you ever saw a man naked before?" Borias asked the young woman as he stood over her, his cock jutting forth from the dark curls between his muscular legs.

Xena looked into Gabrielle's eyes, wondering what her reaction would be to the sight of Borias's arousal. He was very well-endowed, his cock probably the largest Xena had ever taken into her body. Xena went up on her knees, her lovely face so close to Borias's rock-hard erection. "Come here, Little One," Xena coaxed her little slave.
