It was a selfish and a screwed up thing to want her dead after everything he knew had happened between him and Amytis during the last few days…Even if nothing physical had yet taken place, he was attracted to her like a moth to a flame and he knew it- they both knew it, and we could even extend this statement to saying that all four of them knew it…They were all aware of the powerful magnetism between the two, they had all sensed it, and what for him had been longing and barely suppressed need- and for Nabucco an equally shared lust- for Xena, everything had translated into pain, tension and frustration. It was only fair for her to crave for some kind of payback and he was not absurd.…but this?! He couldn't even stand the though of someone else touching her let alone the reality of her actually- willingly- accepting this kind of interaction and even worse, feeling extremely aroused by it….

Oh…he was going to beat the crap out of her treacherous body until she swore she would never even dare think about anything similar in her life! As for the King…..he was going to strangle that suicidal clown with the last veil covering his Princess' body!

The music itself had an incredibly titillating effect on her shockingly responsive body, and soon, despite her considerable effort to deny her any form of pleasure, there was no longer hesitation in any of her actions…He wanted him to fuck her so bad that she could no longer control any of the trembling moans leaving her mouth each time his lips made contact with her flesh, each time his thumb caressed the slick swollen hood of her clit, and soon the world around them vanished along with the deafening cheering of the crowd ….Nothing mattered anymore and as the fire burning between her thighs only began to grow even more intense, she threaded her fingers through his hair, almost begging for a more intimate contact…..

" Do you like this…?" his low, addictive voice whispered against her hungry, scorched lips, keeping his mouth hovering just out of reach, driving her completely crazy with carnal desire, sending her pulse-rate rocketing- pushing her mind into an entirely different dimension.

" Dear gods….yeah…." she mewled weakly, arching convulsively into him.

" Do you want me to stop?" he asked again, and her tits shivered, their nipples erect and hard when his perfectly sculpted chest touched hers for a split second, making her heart pound madly now with anticipation...

" I'd kill you…." she threatened, pulling him even closer to her …

Indeed, she couldn't remember a time in her life when she had been so impossibly wet, it seemed like her continuously twitching cunt was just screaming to be filled….Truth be told she couldn't really focus on anything that was outside that invisible bubble of ecstasy the King had created for her, but, all of a sudden despite the magic and consuming desire pulsating achingly throughout her pelvis when he finally positioned himself between her legs, ready to plow her delicious pussy as hard and as wild as he could, a very familiar face appeared for a split second before her perfectly hypnotized moons, messing with her head, and sending a wave of unprecedented panic through her every cell….

What in Tartarus was she doing?!

" Ares?" she breathed out, narrowing her eyes but barely distinguishing the man's face.

"Yeah, baby , it's me…" the voice answered, but despite the reassuring words, there was something troubling about it and something just didn't click inside her drug-fogged brain….She could feel his throbbing cock pressing against her slick entrance through the fine fabric of his pants- the last standing barrier between them, and though her instincts took over for a few moments again, urging her to grind frantically her almost exploding cunt against the temptingly hard surface, a piercing scream coming from that little voice inside her head finally got to her, telling her that something had went horribly wrong.

"Oh…fuck me…." she murmured lustfully through clenched teeth, her fingers digging eagerly even harder into his shoulders, unable to physically control her need, despite the alarm signals constantly flooding her brain now….Everywhere he touched her skin heated, every muscle was now stringing with the ardent need to feel that amazing heat as deep inside her as possible. " I want your thick cock inside me…" she urged him, biting her lip and moaning even louder the moment she felt him getting rid of his pants…

" I want you to beg first…" he whispered tenderly against her ear, his own passion as well as the effect of the few glasses of wine that he had been drinking since the orgy started, finally mixing enough to take over him, clouding his own vision and reason…..

And then, it happened…..- despite the fact that she had no clue about why it was she had done it- a primal instinct coming from the deepest corner of her mind, made her turn her head towards the royal table where she finally met his stare…

She couldn't utter a word, not one that didn't involve urging the King to bang the life out of her, but her suddenly desperate, frightened gaze said it all, and the mute scream that left her mouth was more than enough for the War God …..

Without a second thought- and definitely without taking for one moment her attractive offer into consideration- Ares' hand collided so brutally with the Queen's cheek that the contact sent her to the ground as if she had been struck by Celesta's lethal sword.

" Just because there's still fire burning between us, don't think for one second that I would ever allow it to turn into weakness, Amytis! I'm neither dumb nor that blinded with lust to pretend that I can't see straight through your little act and your cheap manipulations ! " he barked at her, barely containing his wrath the minute his dagger grazed her throat. "Next time you try something similar, I'll cut you to little pieces, I swear it on the head of Zeus and on the Styx itself!"

" You're threatening me for that common whore who's rubbing herself like a bitch in heat against my husband's cock?!" the Queen, growled back furiously, and it appeared like she couldn't care less that the God of War in person was about to gut her like a pig.

Right before he could push that sharp blade deep into her tender flesh though, Xena's voice, so distinct- so unique despite all that noise- reached his mind, filling every little inch of his immortal being like nothing else could, and he instantly jumped to his feet at the suffocating anxiety and panic reverberating from its notes.

" Aresssssssss."

As their eyes met across the room, to her utter surprise, the Warrior Princess saw neither hate, nor fury glazing their surface, but fear…fear in its purest form….

The following second, a sphere of dark energy sent- much to the shock of his loyal subjects and guests- the sleazy King flying across the stage like a rag doll, breaking a marble pillar on his way towards the wall.

It didn't last long until with a wave of his hand, the God materialized a light blue dress on Xena's almost bare, luscious curves.

" What the fuck do you think you're doing?" he grunted, grabbing her by the hair and raising her face level the instant he got close enough to do so….

" I don't know….." she mechanically replied , unable to come up with a more decent, excusable answer. She could feel his wrath, pressing through his aura right against her soul like a massive boulder that made her literally shiver in fear- but she could hardly think straight anyway.

" You worthless piece of…" he started to say as all that pent up rage finally got to the point where it was burning his insides like an inextinguishable fire, ready to engulf him and all that damned place, but the rest of his curses died somewhere between his throat and the tip of his tongue when he noticed the faint trace of white dust on her lips. For a split second, everything around him changed into an irritating shade of bright crimson and, brushing lightly his lips against hers, he took one last deep breath before he directed his gaze towards the hardly conscious King who was still struggling to keep his eyes open.

" Let me see if I get this right….You invite me to spend a few days under your roof and after having granted you that honor , you repay my kindness by drugging my Chosen?!" his voice thundered throughout the palace with the deafening noise of a hundred drums playing at the same time…
