It had been two weeks since Xena had left Eve and Sabrina with her mother. Xena really missed them and wanted to go back and see them a few weeks early, but was occupied with trying to stop two kingdoms from doing into war. Not surprisingly, she later figured out a plan to solve their problems, therefore stopping the war.
Speaking of war, Ares was visiting Sabrina on a daily bases, which he had always done. Ares knew that Sabrina terribly missed her mother. He wanted to bring her to Xena just for a visit, but he also knew that is was hard enough for Xena to say goodbye the first time, and if he brought Sabrina to see her, she would have to say goodbye again. Usually Ares would check up on Xena from time to time.
Since the birth of their daughter neither of them had ever spoken directly about their relationship. Ares didn't want to pressure Xena because it might just scare her away. But he had to know where they stood in their relationship. So he decided he minus well ask her.
At this time Xena was alone at the camp, her and Gabrielle had separated awhile back and they were supposed to meet up here the next day. It was in the evening and was already getting dark. Xena was sitting on a log, gazing into the fire, when she suddenly felt the certain tingling feeling on her spine. Some what happy that he was there, Xena slowly got up and turned around to find Ares standing there with that irresistible smirk on his face.
"Happy to see me?" Ares asked, as he walked closer to her.
"Surprising yes, I must be bored then" Xena replied, with a smirk of her own.
"I see you're all alone" Ares stated.
"Well Gabrielle went to see her sister Lila and niece Sara. She'll be back by tomorrow" Xena replied.
"I was wondering about something" Ares said.
"And what exactly were you wondering about?" Xena asked.
"About us, I mean are we together, are we just friends, or we still enemies. I just want to know we are right now" Ares said.
Xena then looked a way from Ares then looked back.
"Dose it matter?" Xena asked, with a sadden tone.
"Of course it matters. Xena I love and I want to be with you. You know that" Ares replied.
"I'm just not ready for a relationship right now" Xena said.
"Why do you always do this?" Ares asked.
"Do what?" Xena asked.
"Every time I try to get close to you, you always push me away. I've done everything for you. I've fought for you, and even changed for you. What else do you what?" Ares asked, as if he was pleading to Xena.
"Ares, it's complicated" Xena replied.
"Xena, you're the only woman for me" Ares said, softly.
"I bet you say that to every pretty face you see" Xena replied, trying to find a reason to be mad at him.
"What are you talking about? I haven't been with another woman since you had Sabrina" Ares said.
"Yeah right" Xena replied.
"It's the truth. I realized that if I truly loved you, then there's no reason for me to be with any other woman. When I said you were the only one for me I meant it" Ares said, as he gazed into Xena's crystal blue eyes.
"You're serious aren't you?" Xena asked, as a small smile appeared on her face.
"I swear it on my life" Ares answered, as he pulled her closer.
"Ares, I don't think…" Xena started to say, but was interrupted by Ares.
"Stop listening to what your brain is telling you and start listening to your heart" Ares whispered.
"My heart" Xena said softly, as her lips met with Ares' lips in a gentle kiss.
Soon that gentle kiss turned into one filled with passion and lust. They then disappeared, and later appeared in Ares' bed room. As their bodies met with the bed the flames on the candles vanished.
