Although I have promised myself to appear as stern as possible for the role I am about to play, I just can't fight the naughty, obnoxious grin I can already feel stretching my face, when, as the effect of those blinding lights of the vortex finally ease on her mortal eyes, she takes a long look around her, partly shocked, partly aroused by the scenario I have chosen for us.
We're in my dungeon at the Halls of War, a cold and dark place in which the dry blood from the floor merges to an almost disturbing perfection with the greyish stone walls. A few iron torches placed here and there , offer a minimum of light, but at a snap of my fingers, five more appear to reveal the only thing in the world I am actually interested in seeing these days- my Princess, well in this particular case, her statuesque body , displayed in all its fascinating glory ,naked , glistening faintly under the effect of the dancing flames. Chained to the ceiling as she is ,the tips of her toes barely touching the ground , she looks like a golden ballerina, gracious and just perfect in every sense of the word.
Her painful grunt as she struggles to find a more comfortable position – not that there is any, judging by the circumstances-nearly escapes me given that I am way too focused on replaying a very similar scene in my mind- an almost equally satisfying one, I might add- at least visually speaking – in which a bunch of very vengeful villagers were set on making her pay for having cold bloodily murdered their friends- or so they thought….A personal failure took place that day. I must admit it- the whole approach was wrong, regardless of how tempted she actually felt - for the shortest of time-to come back to me – to us – to what we used to be ,together…..
„ You sure have a dirty mind...'' she remarks- forcefully pulling me out of my musings and as she briefly glances at the riding crop I'm casually holding in my hand- and that I have every intention of using on her at the first chance I get- I can clearly notice how uneven her breathing has become, right here under my very eyes- her heart rate hitting the roof ,most likely ….
As for the intense, will melting lust in her eyes, now that's something I could never miss, just like I'm certain she can- in her turn- sense those domineering temples of desire rising inside me – sacred buildings in which she is my goddess and I am the mortal slave, praying at her feet, worshiping the ground she walks on.
„Oh please...! You surpass me effortlessly when it comes to anything that is wild, kikni and potentially dangerous…'' I laugh- struggling to stay in control of the game for awhile longer, aware that pretty soon I will be losing myself under that dazzling effect she always has on me and, sweet mother of Zeus, I nearly roll my eyes at my own weakness as I realize I have been biting my lower lip from the moment some very promiscuous memories of our past sex encounters have invaded my mind.
''Anyway …'' I continue, temporarily breaking free from under her enslaving influence, circling her slowly, tactfully, just like a predator would do with its completely defenseless and clueless prey. ''I can't even get to tell you how content I am about this fortuitous surprise of yours given the last series of events …And by Hades, you have been a bad, bad girl lately …" I breathe softly against her ear, letting the tip of the riding crop glide temptingly across her illegally provocative ass, and I can easily tell by that barely repressed whimper that everything inside her is vibrating at the exquisite sensation of the soft leather tress caressing her skin.
As for that carnal desire spreading from her aura, I can physically feel it even without having to use our bond, a crushing, smothering sensation that mixed with my own hardly repressed urges and finally materialized, will surely bring the Elysian Fields on earth….Gods how I long for this woman! An eternal, mind splitting enigma, that's what she is, although I did have my fair share of conquests these few thousand years …And still, it strangely feels like none of those pervious experiences-no matter how unique- could ever equal the raging fire that she has managed to stir in me.
''Have I …?''
''That's what I heard…..too bad for your own well being…''…I emphasize, sending a flow of red energy, charged with sexual tension and animalistic instincts right at the base of her belly, eager to speed things up just a bit- enough as to have her complying and willing to fulfill my any fantasy , no matter how barbarian in practice.
''I have no idea what you're talking about..''she challenges, the most innocent expression one could think of, painted on her pretty face.
''Want me to help you refresh your memory, Sweet ?' I play along, without actually expecting a reply, so, before she gets the chance to even think about coming up with one, I act on my impulses, and, just a mere moment later, the captivating sound of the leather crop slashing mercilessly across her super sexy ass- and leaving a bright red line behind it in the process-fills the room with even more eroticism.
''You've been messing up with my plans again, despite the fact that I specifically warned you not to interfere in any way ….''
''Sorry…Doesn't ring a bell…''she placidly answers though I can clearly see the sudden anger glistening like a sea of ice under the moonlight in those gorgeous baby blues, that for some reason, now seem even brighter if possible.
''Don't worry…..I'll make sure you remember everything, down to the smallest detail'' I casually let her know, licking my lips at how arched her body has become as a result of that first blow. Her amazing, full breasts are just a few inches from me now- her erect nipples begging to be tugged and sucked. And yet, despite myself, I swallow the dry lump in my throat and try to focus on my initial plan instead. A bit more teasing is a must ….
In this line of thought, I begin to slide the crop back and forth between her pussy lips, softly at first and rougher and rougher with each passing second ,pleased with noting her low moans and grunts when I push harder, adding enough pressure as to make her clench her hands on those chains, and let's just say that if her heart rate was hitting the roof minutes ago, now it is probably hitting the edges of the universe.
Adamant about prolonging her pleasure, I slow the pace for a minute, subtly letting the leather crop glide languidly from her neck to her belly where I let it rest for a few seconds before I guide it slowly down her crotch and further down on her inner thighs, making sure to tease her big time before I apply a vigorous slap across her pussy, making her escape a low whimper. Obviously , she wasn't expecting it so soon…
Three more sharp slaps in a row, applied tactfully on her clit follow, making her instinctively want to push herself upwards- but the lower chains around her ankles keep her in place, and in return, I just mercilessly hit that perfect spot a few more times until I'm certain that despite the pain, she's wet enough to move to the next stage….
''But first thing's first…'' I continue, abruptly interrupting our arousing interaction .''.Would you be a doll and elaborate a bit on that part of the deal regarding my divine intervention?'' I ask- the most idiotic question I could have chosen, by the way- you'll get to see why in a bit.
For some reason, she stiffens at my interrogation.
''.What do you want to know ?'' she inquires, still struggling to regain her breath.
''Everything …..'' I simply utter, gently tucking a rogue lock of hair behind her ear.''And don't leave anything out , Princess, or I'll have to punish you again- and we don't want that to happen ,now….do we?'' I sensually warn her, leaning closer and allowing the back of my hand to lightly caress her cheek , a brief contact meant not only to encourage her to open up to me but to also remind her that she can always stop this if she so chooses. '' Where were you headed ?''
''Thebes'' she swiftly answers as if actually complying to my instructions and I can't help a genuine smile at the realization that she has already tacitly accepted to play along .I've always appreciated her adventurous nature, always curious, always ready to experiment new things, very rarely saying no to a decent challenge.
''Why ?''
''What's it to you ?''
A powerful smack across her upper thigh this time, makes her bite her lip as to prevent herself from screaming in pain and though pain and pleasure do go together most of the time, I might have over reacted with this one ….
''Rule no 1. You don't answer a question with another question.''
She just rolls her eyes at me but that discreet smile caressing her lips, kinda gives her away ….She's definitely having fun .
''Didn't know we had rules…''
''You do now''
''Great…''
The following slap across her ass makes her curse though and throw me a deadly glare . She was definitely expecting a milder interaction after that previous smack.
''Rule no 2 Princess- you don't get to talk back ….Just…answer the damned questions . So... let's give it another go…what were you planning to do in Thebes….?''
''King Nycetus asked for me. His son, Amphion is getting married. He fears for his life. It seems that Tereus has sent assassins for him…''
''Tereus of Thrace….?"
''The very same ''
''Ok….See? Now we're getting somewhere ….Good girl ….''I murmur, getting a bit closer again, finally touching those luscious breasts that now seem to be molding in my palm and I only massage them for a few moments before I take two steps back. I'm not allowing myself to get distracted …. …''And yet …".Do you actually expect me to believe that you are willing to make this deal just for the sake of a private ride to Thebes ? I'm not stupid Xena. What are you not telling me…?.''
She swallows nervously before she comes up with an answer- an insignificant detail otherwise but which obviously gets my attention given the circumstances.
''Well, there's also Gabrielle….''
''As in the irritating blonde, Gabrielle?'' I ask, stunned that her name actually came up in this context.
''Yeah…''
''Do I get to chain her up as well?'' I mock, but my whole body shudders at the infamous possibility.
''You'd like that wouldn't you ?''
''Oh please! Don't insult me! Not in a million years!'' I mumble, my voice stumbling somewhere inside my throat, outraged by how little she thinks of me when it comes to sex related matters.
She just laughs at my undisguised repulsion, pleased that she has managed to hit a soft spot. Call it a well deserved revenge from her part.
''Have I allowed you to laugh, Xena?'' I ask inflamed, suddenly finding a new opportunity to tease her, but this time I prefer to use my hands-make it all a bit more personal and a bit more gentle before I turn it rough again– and to my utter delight as I languidly trace the contour of her face, her marvelously sculpted features seem to glow brighter under the effect of the flames, and I can help thinking that she looks more like a breathtaking work of art rather than a human being.
''I'm sorry .Please forgive me !'' she scornfully answers, slightly pouting her lips, temporarily distracting my attention from my previously mentioned intentions, so without as much as a word, I grab her cheeks between my fingers and squeeze until I can almost hear her jaw crack before I push her brutally backwards, making the chains let out a disturbing, sharp clank as she tries to regain a bit of balance.
I refuse to offer her that luxury though, cause, while she's still struggling to somehow touch the ground - her arms are stretched to the max and her muscles probably ache terribly- I once again make the crop connect twice with her back, and this time I can see a few droplets of blood trailing down her spine, making her clench her teeth in pain just to exhale abruptly once its intensity lessened.
I'm not particularly impressed though. She's been through worse….
''So, what about that opportunistic Harpy ? I just don't get it ….''
''She needs to get to Potidea while I'm in Thebes…''she replies, throwing her head back and gently tilting it from side to side. Her shoulder blades are probably killing her….
Just to make things easier for her , I move behind her, and, with infinite care this time, I start massaging her back, from her sacrum , along her spine , making sure to use my tongue to wipe the reddish liquid staining her skin, and as I reach the back of her neck, I can feel her body relaxing under my touch. I grin widely, aware of just how much she needed it.
''So?''
''So I was thinking that you could help her get there ''
''What am I , the Olympus Express to you ?!" I hear myself blowing, scandalized by the idea itself.
''Come on, Ares , it wouldn't kill you …''
Unfreaking believable! The nerve this woman has is simply out of this world !
''But we don't really know that for sure, do we now ?''
Her pleading gaze is enough to make me reconsider though . At the end of the day, it's definitely worth the effort-best deal ever.
''Fine ….I'll transport Blondie to Potidea, ok?''
''That's not exactly what I meant…..''
I frown at her statement. I knew it! Here we go….
''Well, what did you mean ?''
''She wants to walk all the way there .So you're gonna keep her company …''
I simply stare at her incredulously for few seconds, ready to burst into laugther.
''You're joking right ? Well guess who's getting ten spanks for this audacity !'' I let her know, rubbing my hands together in complete satisfaction. What an amazing opportunity!
''I'm not joking.''
The answer leaves me agape .
''Well then are you out of your freaking mind? In which universe exactly, do you think I would ever agree to something like that ?!"
''This one seems pretty close to the truth '' she points out, hinting at our location and at the chains around her wrists and ankles.
''Only because you've manipulated me into this preposterous situation….''
''…that you absolutely adore….''
''Can't really deny that….But still, Xena…..''
''Wait…the best is yet to come…!'' she swiftly announces, making me wish I would have never asked that damned question in the first place ''You see….Gabrielle hasn't been herself lately-not since Perdicus died. She's been awfully depressed. I tried to help her, cheer her up somehow but nothing seems to work . Plus, I'm worried….I heard her pray the other night and she was talking to him….''
''To the dead guy ?''
''Yes…to Perdicus….and she was saying something about their souls being reunited soon….''
''May the Fates themselves bless her endevours !'' I wholeheartedly state, ecstatic at the prospect of actually attending her funeral..
''Ares! ''
''What ? True love is so underrated these days …and hard to find , so …..My heart goes out to her….''
''Will you cut it out already ?! ''she half screams, displeased with my boundless state of joy.
''So what exactly is it that you want me to do ? ''
''I don't even know….Talk to her…Get some sense into her….''
''Me ?! Hallo ! The Babbling Bard hates me with a passion! She can't even stand the thought of me being anywhere near you.- feelings that are of course mutual, just in case you missed that little detail. So why on earth would she ever listen to anything I have to say to her? And just how would my presence alone magically help her?'' – some very reasonable questions , in my opinion.
''I have no clue, Ares but you did help me move on when Lyceus died …and Solan!''
''Yeah but that was different ! Our relationship is different …..How do you want me to he…..'' And then, right out of the blue, it hits me! "Wait a minute! I knew it ! So this was your plan all along! You twisted little bitch !''
''What are you talking about ?"
''You've been dreaming about a threesome with Blondie from day one, haven't you ?""
''What ?!"
''Don't play innocent….I can see it in your eyes….''
''That's….''
''That's pretty unbelievable ,I know…!''
''Shut up…..Ares shut up!''
This time, her commanding tone gets to win the conversational battle.
''What ?''
''I'm not interested in any threesome with or without Gabrielle!''
''Why not? It can be veeeeery fun….And I'm talking major orgasms here ….!''
She looks pissed now….Maybe a bit too pissed….
'Ok, ok! So what do you want from me, woman?!"
''Just get her to Potidea and keep an eye on her until I return from Thebes.I just want to know that she's safe. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to her, Ares. It's all my fault….Perdicus would still be alive if I hadn't brought Callisto into their lives…..''
Self inflicted guilt again…My Princess could certainly use some therapy.
''Hey, hey! Don't you dare take that upon yourself….Callisto's actions and decisions belong to her, just like the ones Harpielle and that poor fellow, took….! You cannot hold yourself responsible for everything the ones around you, do!. So stop punishing yourself like that….''
''Well someone has to teach me a lesson…..'' she whispers darkly, but I can see right through her…..I can see what she's doing…..
I just look her dead in the eye for a few seconds before I wave my hand and make the chains disappear….A moment later, we're standing outside Thebes, and she's wearing a slightly more decent version of that blue dress she had enticed my imagination with…..
''What are we doing here ? What's wrong?'' she asks ,slightly panicked.
''Pretty much everything….Call me once you're done here so that I can take you back to Blondie….''
''Áres…wait!''
''Later, Xe….Don't worry about the Bard.''
OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL BE A PART 4, GUYS :)) CAN'T HELP IT, SORRY...
