My Immortal IX
Xena had tried to convince Gabrielle and Eve to stay one more night and leave at daybreak the next morning. She didn't like the thought of them on the highways after dark, they could be attacked by bandits or wild animals. But, she reminded herself that they were both capable warriors in their own rights and that she had no authority to tell them what they could or couldn't do. It allayed her fears a little when Gabrielle told her they would be staying at the neighboring seaside village in an inn overnight before booking passage to Ionia in the morning. The trio said their tearful goodbyes and made promises to send messages and visit often. Xena even offered to let the women take Argo, whom Aphrodite had brought from her Corinthian temple where Xena had left the horse in her haste to save the god of war. Eve pointed out that an overseas trip would be rough on the mare and reminded Xena that there would be plenty of good steeds to purchase once they reached Scythian territory.
As Xena walked down the hallway toward the master suite her heart was breaking for having to say goodbye, but it was equally elated at the future that lay behind the large ebony double doors. She would miss the road, she would miss her friend and her daughter but it was time she quit thinking about everyone's happiness but her own. Sure Gabrielle had made her happy and helping others had fulfilled her but there was always an emptiness that she had never been able to put her finger on. That vacant spot in her soul had been punctuated the night that Ares had fallen victim to Michael and Apollo's scheme. He had always been there at the periphery of her mind, her heart, her soul. Then when he suddenly wasn't, she felt dead inside, lost and alone. That's when she knew that the only way she was ever going to feel complete was if she let go of old grudges and let herself love him. Still, even as she saved him from Hell, she wasn't sure if she would be able to let down her guard, to give herself fully to him. But she had, in Vega. She had opened her body to him and her heart followed.
Xena pushed the double doors open. Ares lay on his side, propped up on his elbow atop the black silken sheets. He had removed his vest and boots. Xena admired his strong chest and arms and let her gaze drift down his abs to his solid hips and the prominent bulge hidden behind his pants. Ares smiled and then pointed to a floor-length silk gown dyed deep purple that hung on the corner of the wardrobe door.
"For me? It's beautiful." Xena ran her fingers along the smooth fabric. It would have fetched hundreds of dinars in any Grecian bazaar.
"The color of royalty. You deserve nothing less."
"Do you really want me to put this on? Or would you rather I just take this off?" Xena gestured to her warrior dress which she had worn without her armor all evening.
"That's what I love about you, Xena. Straight to the point."
"Someone once taught me that the simplest plans were not only the most beautiful but also the most likely to succeed." She advanced toward the bed, moving her shoulder straps down over her toned arms.
"Hmmm, now, I wonder who that could've been?" Ares never took his eyes off hers.
"A certain god of war, I'm sure," Xena shimmied out of the dress, letting it fall to the floor, revealing that she was wearing absolutely nothing underneath.
She won the staredown as Ares couldn't help but look upon her heavenly form. His breathing hitched and she thought for a moment he was crying.
"I'm sure," he finally managed to continue their playful banner.
Xena had reached the edge of the tall bed. Ares crawled toward her and brought his nose to rest just at her patch of soft curls. He inhaled her scent and released a barely audible moan. Xena hooked her forefinger under his chin and looked down into his admiring eyes. He was crying. His dark pools glistened with unfallen tears.
"Everything okay?" She asked as she stroked his wavy black hair, smiling at the grey that peppered his temples, vestiges from his years as a mortal.
"Didn't know I could be this happy, Xena. I hoped and I dreamed but gods, I never thought you'd ever come home and now here you are, at the Halls of War, in all your beauty and glory and you're about to climb in my bed and let me worship you the way you've always deserved, it's kinda overwhelming, even for the god of war. No. Especially for the god of war."
"Ares, I don't want you to worship me. I just want you to love me. We're equals, you and me."
"I know but I want to kiss and caress every inch of you, just so you know how much you are loved, desired, and appreciated."
Xena reached down and rubbed his cock through his leathers. "He tells me just how much you desire me. Your eyes show me how much you appreciate me, and these," she wiped the tears that had gathered at the corners of his eyes, "these tell me how much you love me."
"I do, Xena, I do love you."
"I'm sorry I ever doubted it."
"I gave you plenty of reasons."
"Shhhh, no more worrying about the past, okay?"
Ares nodded his head and pursed his perfect lips, "Okay."
"Ares,"
"Yes?"
"Kiss my pussy."
She didn't have to ask twice. He nuzzled his nose in her hair while his tongue explored the flesh below. Xena hiked one leg up on the bed to give him better access to her pink center. When he started laving her nub, she had to brace herself by placing one hand on his bare shoulder and gripping the bed post with the other. As he worked his mouth over her, her knees began to buckle and she knew that she was close to climaxing. She gently pushed his head away and lay down on the bed so he could finish the job. Ares waited for her to part her legs for him again, then he placed soft kisses along her lower abdomen and teasingly stroked her inner thighs with his long fingers.
"Do you want me to finger you or just eat you?" He asked as he slid one digit along her wet folds.
Xena's hips surged forward letting him know that she wanted him to finger fuck her.
"Uh-uh-uh, Xena, say it. Tell me what you want."
"Fuck me, please, finger me, please." He slid one finger inside, once she accommodated that, he added another and then went back to licking her snatch.
Xena panted and moaned. "Yeah, just like that. So close, Ares, so close."
"Xena, you are so hot, so fucking hot. I love you. I love watching you." HIs cock was about to explode inside his pants. He rubbed it against the mattress.
Her hips moved furiously meeting his fingers thrust for thrust, all the while, his strong mouth muscle teased her clit.
"Gonna come, oh Ares, yes, fuck yes, god yes, I'm coming." She wailed.
Ares let her ride out her orgasm, then he shoved his pants off and climbed between her still parted thighs. He slicked the head of his cock along her opening to lubricate it before sliding it deep inside his woman. Xena brought her legs up and wrapped them around his waist, which allowed him to push himself in all the way to the hilt.
"Mmmmmm, you feel soooo good," she growled. Her swollen flesh stretched to take his magnificent girth.
Their bodies danced together as the tempo of their lovemaking rose higher and higher.
"Wanted this to last longer," he said as he stopped moving and just held himself inside her.
"It's okay, baby, I already came." She reached up and kissed him and ran her finger along his jaw.
"I know, I just wanted to savor it."
"Ares, you have to quit acting like I am going to walk out that door at any minute. Fuck me, give me the pounding you've been wanting to for years."
"Xena!" He needed her to shut up or he was going to blow.
"Do it! Do it, Ares. All those times you wanted to claim me. I am here, show me who my man is. Fuck me like you mean it!"
He shook his head, she'd asked for it. He took her two wrists in one hand and clamped them together over her head, pushing them into the bed, which caused her breasts to arch toward him. The key pendant that she still wore reflected the light from the fire blazing in the hearth. He squeezed one tit in his free hand and he started thrusting with all he had.
Xena let loose a deep throaty laugh. She was loving it, loving him staking his claim. This was the god she knew, the man she wanted. The harder he fucked her, the tighter his grip on her wrists became. She loved the feel of being taken by him. Her cunt swelled even more, sending a fresh wave of juices down his shaft.
"Mine, Mine Xena, all mine. Home, you're home," he gasped.
He was close, Xena could feel him swelling, tried desperately to match his rhythm.
"Come for me baby, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. .." She purred but couldn't articulate the rest of the thought.
"Fuck, Xena, fuck!" He drowned her out as they came for each other.
Ares collapsed on the bed beside her and pulled her snuggly against him. "You promise?"
He sounded like a child who had been lied to too many times. It broke her heart. She didn't know how she was going to convince him that this wasn't an ephemeral dream but their new reality. She'd think of something, she had to.
