"Just wanna let you know that you're not off the hook yet….I'm still keen on using that leash, and I'm not planning on dropping the idea any time soon…." he murmured hot against her neck - his sugary voice efficiently averting her attention from what was truly important- his left hand sliding even more underneath her dress, that is, and that ultimately promiscuous performance that his skillful fingers were giving through the silky fabric of her underwear as he began massaging her ….

Her mouth opened in a silent cry at the contact, and naturally, her first reaction was to bark some sort of a threatening protest meant to make him stop and just let her sleep…..The only problem with actually getting to do that was that the teasing warmth of his touch there felt sooo damn good that biting her lower lip hard enough as to keep quiet was all that her body accepted to do besides arching into his lap even more, enjoying that highly stimulating sensation of his rock hard cock pressing impatiently against her ass cheeks ….She couldn't help wanting he'd just get those damn pants off….

A wicked, wicked smile instantly made Ares appear even sexier than he already was...His face was literally glowing from the light of that barely restrained lust and her rhythmic, ceaseless, unconscious grind against him was more than he could ask for…..It was as clear as daylight: after all the waiting, the cat and the mouse, he was finally on the right path towards that illegally steamy night with her that he had been dreaming about for awhile now …He just had to play his cards correctly, no rash moves, no overly passionate kisses, and….definitely more talking in the attempt of cleverly inciting her imagination-and thus slowly building her desire in spite of her still perceivable reluctance…

"You know….the mere idea of having you defenseless like that….with no escape route, with no other option than to comply to my any command…..Gods Xe…..do you have any idea what I'd do to you…..?" a muffled groan was released into her shoulder, and for the love of Zeus all Mighty , he could swear that for a split second , he could feel her heart changing the intensity of it's beats- a subtle detail that was entirely true given the fact that by the time he ended his phrase, the Warrior Princess could distinctly sense the blood pounding disturbingly loud into her ears as her body temperature seemed to rise considerably…She was burning hot and she could no longer control those incandescent waves of ecstasy from rising, the inside of her belly sending ludicrously fast sharp, blazing arrows towards the very tip of her clit with his every new stroke…..

When she finally managed to mumble some rather unintelligible retort that should have sounded just as slashingly obnoxious as his previous comment had been-a little bit too late though given that one full minute had past since Ares had stopped talking- the God didn't even bother with uttering a reply.

He just took advantage of her clouded with ecstasy mind and added instead a few more drops of mute incentive while sensually sucking on her earlobe, his deep, ragged breath and his low gasps of impossibly to restrain pleasure having for the enthralled Warrior Princess an effect worse than heroine, making her absolutely passive to the fact that while speaking he had carelessly started to unlace her dress, and had pulled it half way down her waist, thus gaining full access to her firm, luscious breasts….

Her flushed face just like her rapidly rising and falling chest were obvious signs of the immeasurable intensity of those whirling sensations enslaving her will and reason…..Once again, her body refused to react when Ares grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling her head backwards and brutally opening her lips with his tongue in a way more demanding kiss that he had first intended…She just let go of any connection she still had with reality and answered with the same eagerness, surprising even herself with the promptitude of her reaction, just like she did the moment his fingers decided that it was about time to move inside her, patiently looking for her G spot before he cleverly started to tease the place with a precision that soon sent her climbing up the walls, making her moan louder and louder into his mouth.

"You're so damn sexy when you moan….Irresistible….."

With every new sound that escaped her throat, his shaft seemed to be twitching and throbbing even more with uncontrollable lust…..By the time his tongue abandoned her mouth and shifted it's focus on the rough surface of her erect nipples, she was so wet that his own cock was literally swollen with desire…..He was so hard that it almost hurt, but he still needed to hear her scream first, that unique, self abandoning scream that could make him come by the mere presence of it's note …

"Come on baby, come on…."

Her hips were now anxiously pushing up and down forcing his fingers to go deeper inside her, desperately searching for a more brutal push, for just the right pressure to make her loose herself in the moment….He simply dropped the initial plan...How in Hades could he refuse?

"I got something better for you, you know….Way better…"

The very next second, as his strong hands unexpectedly pushed her half naked body against the wall, literally crushing it there -with such ferocity that could unmistakably be classified as pure, inhuman violence in any civilized part of the world- he finally replaced those fingers with his painfully pulsating but earning cock.

She instinctively tried to fight it at first, of course she did, just like he had expected her too….I mean, where was the fun if she gave up just like that after all? Nonetheless, escaping the inevitable was out of the question... plus, that drug like sensation of her inner muscles contracting with each new shove was intoxicating.

With long, slow thrusts that gradually became more and more intense, he began pumping harder and harder , and he could no longer restrain those ultimately arousing, needy groans from leaving his throat….She felt ridiculously wet and tight and that addictive smell of her arousal just made him wanna push himself even deeper inside her, as deep as it went.….

Looking for a more comfortable position , he soon turned her on her belly, and minutes later she was twisting and jerking beneath him, her nails digging wildly into the bed sheets as a huge jolt of power struck from the tip of her clit outward through her entire body, something very similar to electricity but wayyyy better….

Her loud, involuntary scream was the perfect sign for Ares to increase his rhythm…He was relentless….

"You're mine…..Tell me that you're mine…."

She didn't realize that she actually said the words, but she did…. she rather screamed them in fact and there was so much truth in her voice, that, the God would have most likely patted himself on the back if he hadn't been way to engulfed in savoring the after effects of that indescribable explosion ripping trough his every cell from head to toe…."

"Well….this is one hell of an article….The Warrior Princess and the ex God of War…But ….are you sure this is what you saw Nigel? 'Cause if you're lying, I do hope you realize you'll never work in this field ever again….You could as well take classes in milking cows…."

"Come on Socrates, would I lie to you?"

The old man just arched his eyebrow at him from behind a desk, complete incredulity written all over his face.

"Now why would I do that?" the young journalist exclaimed, reinforcing the falsity of his words with a completely innocent expression that only made the old man smile all knowingly.

"They can sue you, you know…..And as always, the Athenian Forum is just waiting for new, juicy scandals….They're worse than vultures! And by all the Gods of Olympus if you dare drag me into this mess with you…."

"I take full responsibility ok?! For crying out loud Boss, she was getting dressed when I got there in the morning and he was half naked….Now in your experience, what does that tell you?"

"Strip poker?"

"Come on!"

"How did you come up with the subject anyway?!"

"Well, the girls from the Brothel they were all talking about this tall, dark, hypnotizingly good looking guy…and then I saw the ex God of War in the market, and somehow, it clicked….."

"The brothel? What were you doing at the brothel?!"

"I was interviewing …the ladies…."

"You were interviewing them…."

"Yeah, you know about the…working conditions and occupational safety and health…..payment and all...that….." he managed to mumble, barely connecting the right words together in order to form a plausible excuse.

This time, the old man could no longer restrain that wave of laughter from leaving his lungs….He was way to bemused by the ridiculousness of his employee's reaction and that notorious clumsiness of his whenever he needed to lie was just too much for any sane person to resist….

"Anyway….I tried to talk to the guy, find some information but he was….how should I call it….. very…uncommunicative …"

"That's where you got that bruised eye from?" Socrate's sarcastic question immediately followed.

"No….that's from the tree…."

"I'm afraid you've lost me…."

"Well, you see, given the fact that Ares was so antisocial I kinda followed him….He went home…and guess who was on the porch, anxiously waiting for him? Xena Warrior Princess…..! Can you believe that?"

The old man was gazing at him expectantly, waiting for the rest of the story...

"After a brief line exchange they went inside….so I started using my fierce espionage techniques…."

"...And Xena had nothing to say about you spying on her….? Given her reputation I'm surprised you're still in one piece….! "

"Well I guess she didn't bother looking for intruders with all that rain and all…."

"It was raining….?"

"Yeah, and I climbed into a tree to have a better view….The branches were slippery…."

Socrates just shook his head disapprovingly, silently wondering if he was as equally stupid when he was young….

"I just love my job too much Sir, so I try doing everything by the book….professionalism comes first, no matter the weather conditions. " the man apologetically added, noticing his reaction.

"Nigel my boy, I must say…..you are dumber than you look…." the old man concluded. "But ok….….do whatever you want….I might even give you the front page…but don't forget, I did warn you!"

"Thanks Boss! You won't regret it, I promise! Pinky swear and all ….Anyway….I won't publish it yet….I still have some digging to do…I somehow feel there's more to this story than it meets the eye….."
