"Here Ares, I do believe I owe you this back..."
Ares attempting a devilish smile.
"Tired of being a Goddess already, I thought you would have liked the power."
Xena gave a heavy sigh:
"If I wanted power Ares, I would have taken that bimbo's power already. Besides I'm not ready for immortality quite yet..."
Ares didn't miss the underline meaning of her words either.
"So, you have thought about becoming my Goddess afterall then...Well that answers one of my questions about why you didn't take her Godhood"
Xena did a show of rolling her eyes before thrusting his sword back into into his hands. Ares was relieved to feel the surge of power surging back through his body. He felt all his injuried being healed, he was back to his old former Glory. He looked down at his beloved Xena:
"I still don't see how you can enjoy being mortal Xe, it hurts to much."
Xena gave him a slight smile before saying.
"Well Ares, I was born mortal and pain is a part of mortals lives... It's lets us know we are alive."
Ares rolled his eyes he would never understand how she loved her percious mortality, then and important thought occured to him.
"I have a question for you where did you get that dagger of hinds blood."
Xena smiled at him and made a show of expertly flipping it in her hands, making Ares a little nervous.
"Oh this, are you scared I might use it on you?"
Ares didn't want to reply, who knows what she would do with the day she has had. She might be tempted to stab him right through the heart.
Xena looked at him and seen the worry sketched across his face.
"Don't worry Ares, this isn't Hinds blood its just blood from some random animal. I just imagined having a blade with blood on it, that's all."
Ares gave a clear sigh of relief:
"You are a clever minx."
He looked over the use to be dinning room, and raised his hand to restore it back to it's former glory. Also making sure to put Xena prized sword back in it's rightful place.
"You sure do know how to ruin a party, don't you?" Ares smirked
Xena gave Ares a sexy smirk:
"It's not my fault she couldnt handle the competiton or the heat...You know what they say Ares...if you can't stand the heat... then maybe you shouldget the hell out of my kitchen!"
Those words mad Ares blood boil with passion, his eyes hungirly looked her over and a devilous smile crossed that beautiful face, he walked to her and made the dagger disappear out of her hand. He was not about to admit he wasn't taking any chances where Xena was concerned.
"Believe me Princess, I can stand the heat...I would greatly enjoy being in your kitchen right now!"
Seeing as he wasn't receiving any positive feedback from his remark he quickly trailed off.
"So, that was interesting!"
Xena gave him her famous " don't test me" look then a feeling of relief crossed her face.
"I'm just glad it's over...I noticed that you told Astarte that I was your chosen back there... So I guess I'm back in your good graces after all huh?"
Ares just gazed at her sheepishly and spoke in a rather meek voice:
"If it makes you feel any better Xe, I'm over the whole Amphipolis incident. You're forgiven."
The next thing the War God saw, was Xena's lip turned into a snarl and before he knew it, she punched him straight in the face, and walked away.
" That's for the whole Astarte thing…..I should go take a bath now, I have those Cannanite bitch's germs all over me"
"Well… that went well... I see she's back to her old regular demanding Warrior Princess self. I should have known it wouldn't last forever…. it was fun while it lasted though"" Ares thought with a sigh.
Holding his hand out to Xena,they vanished into the ether to Ares's bathroom, an
amazing room, just like the rest of the Halls of War, with a large hot springs right in the center of it that instantly captivated the Warrior Princess' attention.
For a second there she totally forgot that the God was in the room, stripping down without the slightest discomfort and dived in. Ares was just left standing there, a perplexed expression on his face, staring in awe at the one that despite her mortal origins had the body of a Goddess.
One long minute later, wondering why Xena hadn't surfaced yet, he made his way to the spring, and, reaching the edge, he bent over and peered in. He didn't manage to see her. He was getting worried.
"Xe... Xe, are you alright?."
"Xe I hope you are not messing with me."
And right when he was about to jump in after her, Xena came up pulling him in the water fully clothed before he could do anything.
As he touched the bottom of the spring he almost panicked, this idea of water surrounding him everywhere making him loose control faster than anything,
when a thought finally crossed his head:
"What am I panicking about, it's not like I need to breathe or anything?!"
His next thought was on Xena "I swear I'm going to get that little minx."
Swimming to the top he began looking for Xena when he heard her giggling behind him. He slowly turned towards her and was awarded of course with a splash of hot water all over his face.
"So….. my little Princess wants to play, huh? , well, let me tell you doll, I invented the art of playing rough!"
His phrase was rudely interrupted by the Warrior Princess' eagerness to dunk him in the water again, and when he finally reached the surface seconds later, Xena was laughing so hard that he found it contagious. He just started laughing too, bemused by the whole situation, still whipping the water from his eyes.
"I'm sorry Ares, I just couldn't help my self .No more tricks, I promise"
She held out her hand.
"Truce"
Ares eyed Xena's hand suspiciously, swam closer to her, and reached out to grab it. By the time the Warrior managed to notice the mischief flashing on the surface of his chocolate moons, , it was too late…Ares had picked her up and threw her straight in the middle of the springs. There was nothing left to do for her except screaming and flapping her arms like she was flying. Seconds later, she was smashing into the water with a loud noise.
When she came back up she was spurting out water and eyeing Ares evily:
"You said we had a truce, why in the world did you throw me in?!"
Ares just laughed at his upset Princess.
"I don't remember saying truce, besides you pulled me in clothes and all."
Displeased, Xena just huffed and swam closer to him, and as the distance between them shortened, she finally noticed that the God was naked. Despite herself, she couldn't stop a playful smile from teasing the corners of her lips, and , no matter how hard she tried, her eyes adamantly refused to leave that perfectly defined chest of his the she was now carefully studying, lips parted and an eyebrow arched invitingly.
Slowly reaching out a hand, reluctant whether to actually touch him or not, the Warrior Princess' pulse began racing as she felt an indescribable wave of lust flow through her, and she hardly missed the moment Ares had pulled her closer to him, being now just inches apart. His blazing skin- so close to her , made her shiver in no time.
Lifting her gaze up to meet his, she didn't fail seeing again that same predatory lust, she had seen earlier, and though she couldn't tell what had actually caused it,the next thing she knew was that his tongue was parting her lips, almost violently, frantically searching for her own, giving her the maddingly pleasant sensation that she was burning hot with fever from head to toe.
She could feel her heart pounding right next ho his own so hard as if it threatened to jump out and move to his chest, and right then she just knew that she didn't him want to stop whatever he was planning on doing to her. All she could think about was how much she wanted him inside her, wanted to be filled by him, and that image alone could drive her wild.
The loud moan that escaped her lips straight into his mouth let him know exactly what her most hidden desires were, so that the irresistible God soon abandoned her lips, starting instead to place a long wet trail of feather light kisses along her collar bone and further down to her breasts, bringing her closer and closer to ecstasy.
By the time he began licking her nipples, sucking and biting gently, teasing her to the limit of impossible, she was completely out of control, and surprising even herself, she didn't even realize what she said till she said it.
"Please Ares, I need you."
Hearing her, the God's breath literally got caught in his throat- His Princess begging for him? That was like his lifelong fantasy.
"What do you want my Princess? What do you need?" he asked in a husky voice.
Looking deep in his eyes, Xena found out that she couldn't bring herself to deny it. Not anymore.
"I want you ….I need you…."
Unable to hold himself back anymore he claimed her mouth again, putting so much he passion into this kiss that when they finally parted, the Warrior Princess was breathless.
Suddenly a loud feminine voice could be heard.
"Ahem!"
Still so caught up in the moment, Xena's brain barely registered that they had company, and, in no time, she was straddling his waist in the water, making him groan in frustration, knowing that they would have to stop as soon as posible, as he already began detecting his sister's presence in the room.
He tried to calm his nerves, hating to interrupt such an arousing moment for anyone, let alone his ditzy sister. .
"Xe, you know I want this more than anything but we have company."
