DON'T START PANICKING NOW, YOU' LL LOVE THE ENDING:))
" Better?" she asked, spinning in a pirouette before she took a seat on his knee, taking her time to trace his jaw with her fingertips.
Judging by the dumb expression on her face , he already had her hooked without having to lift a finger to do so ….In short, just what he needed…..and effortlessly too…
" Better indeed….." he sensually answered, returning a smile, giving her a quick once over, and trying hard to appear fascinated by the sight of her…..
" Good…." she murmured, nibbling on his earlobe – on a tone that Ares found terribly theatrical and cheap- and it's a good thing that the Bard was unable to see just how fast his expression had turned from slightly amused to disgusted….
"I've been thinking you know…."
"About?" he replied with an almost nervous laugh as he suddenly felt her hand dancing down his chest and resting right next to his crotch, making his brain scream its despair for a moment- and he just knew that this feeling was going to scar him for life…..He mentally laughed at himself thinking that he was never going to be able to have a decent erection again….
With a swift but yet gentle move- he had to keep her interested after all- the God half threw- half placed her by his side on the couch, making sure to slightly adjust his position, casually crossing his legs so that his knees were now acting like some sort of barrier between them.
She couldn't help a mocking remark as she noticed his defensive pose.
" A shy God of War? I would have never pictured that…."
" I'm a virgin…." he whispered back, trying to look as serious as possible, casting a concerned glance around them as if wanting to make sure that no one would over hear them.
She just burst into laughter at his ridiculous statement, but stopped abruptly a few seconds later when she noticed that he wasn't the least amused by the situation.
" I thought you and Xena….."
" We were just teasing ya'…"
" Oh you bad boy, you!" she exclaimed, her pupils dilating with joy…." I knew it! All this time, you were trying to make me jealous, weren't you?" she continued, her hand instantly working their way up his leg and straight to his groin again. He caught her right on time though.
" You got me….Anyway….can we talk about something else? This is kinda embarrassing…. "
" No need to feel bad about it….I'm sure we can fix that." she let him know, inching herself towards him.
Feeling just how rigid his body had become, she gave him her sweetest smile nonetheless….It wouldn't kill her to wait a few minutes more, after all...
"Oh, poor baby, you're really nervous about this aren't you?"
He nodded innocently of course, silently wondering what exactly was it that his sister had put in that perfume…..Literally turning someone from somewhat stupid into incredibly stupid was quite an achievement in itself….He had to learn all about it...
"Talking a bit might help…." he candidly suggested, keeping his fingers crossed.
"And…what would you like us to talk about?" she asked, in that same low, honeyed voice that got him torn between standing there passively, listening to her nonsense and hitting her in the head with the silver goblet that he was now holding.
" Well…." he began- effectively restraining himself- making sure to take advantage of the opportunity…" You're a Bard right? I'm sure you know a lot of stories….and legends….."
" I don't wanna brag…." she answered hastily, carelessly waving her hand " But I know them all….."
" Do you know…..?" he inquired, the arch of his eyebrow, betraying his interest.
"I sure do….." she answered, thrilled by his reaction. "What do you wanna know?"
This was it…..he said to himself, while pensively narrowing his eyes at the awareness that she could actually hold the answer to his problem.
" I once heard this story…" he started, taking a long sip of wine before finishing his sentence." …it was a long, long time ago though, so I don't really recall the details- something about some lethal liquor that could make a person dream….."
" The Dreams of the Damned!" Gabrielle instantly exclaimed, the expression of a nerdy kid who knows all the answers in class, painted clumsily on her face.
" That's the one!" Ares exclaimed in his turn, quite unable to believe that a mere mortal actually knew about this…."What exactly does it do? And does it really exist?"
" Well…." Gabrielle started, clearing her throat and speaking in her Bard like voice, as if ready to hold a speech in the Athenian Agora in front of hundreds of people. " …legend has it that old Zeus was the first to use it on the Titans in order to make sure that they paid for the audacity of having dared stand up against him…..It's quite nasty stuff- a pestilent mixture between the tears of Death, the waters of Lethe and the waters of the Styx…..It is said that in the past, it was with its help that your father managed to keep all his enemies in check, gradually erasing their memory but making sure to leave behind a single one- the image of what they loved most- thus tormenting them for eternity with its constant presence." she ended, now caressing his knee. " You're an Olympian….you should have known this…"she suspiciously remarked, even more intrigued by his unusual question.
" As I said….as I child, I might have heard something about it…No one ever talks up on Olympus about it though….If you ask me, it's pure fiction….It can't be real…Celesta is an immortal…she can't cry….."
" I wouldn't bet a dinar on that...Everyone cries sooner or later...…"
"Does the legend mention anything about a cure?"
" A cure?"
" Yeah well…for any poison there's a cure….."
" It might…" she cattishly replied, freeing her hand from his hold, and finally starting to rub his cock through his leather pants- smiling widely the moment she got rewarded with the result she was looking for…..
" We should do something about that virginity of your first, don't you think?"
" You cunning little bitch!" he growled in his mind as he understood that she had him trapped…..
Before his thoughts on the matter got the chance to evolve in a couple of more descriptive curses, Gabrielle's hand was already sliding in his pants and her fingers were already snaked around his shaft…
He nearly jumped up the sofa when he felt her….
"Gods you're sooooo big…" she murmured, eyes sparkling with enthusiasm….
" I am? I thought most men are like this…." he simply responded, as the most brilliant idea flashed through his mind.
" Take my word for it….most men would kill to be as gifted by the Fates as you are..."
"You seem to be quite familiar with the subject…." he couldn't help himself bite, just to mentally slap himself the following second. That was not the way to trick her into telling him what he wanted to know. Lucky for him, she took the offense lightly.
"What can I say? Men can't seem to resist me…." she murmured, dangerously close now, her lips almost ready to capture his while her fingers started working slowly up and down his thick, pulsating shaft.
" Two can play this game…." he maliciously announced, pushing her skirt up and slowly trailing his hand upwards until he cupped her pussy in his palm. She squealed lightly at the feeling, her blood starting a maddening rush through her veins. In an instant, primal response, she hurriedly parted her legs, thus giving him better access, while involuntarily squeezing his cock even harder and pumping it even faster.A keen observer would have noticed though that the gaze in Ares' eyes had nothing to do with passion but rather with poorly disguised, utter contempt, despite his hard and still growing erection…Oh, he was going to enjoy this outcome, he thought, while slowly starting to stroke her through her already soaking wet underwear. The Bard's breathing got more and more ragged each second, and soon, as he made the soft fabric vanish thus giving him complete access to her hot, slick cunt, her face was transformed by the so much anticipated bliss that she was longing for….
Before he knew it, they were sitting face to face, legs overlapping, pleasuring each other relentlessly, but right when the ecstatic Blondie was just seconds away from her orgasm, Ares slowed his pace…
"Faster…." she begged, her other hand caressing her swollen breasts, obvious desperation in her voice, eager to get that so much needed release….
" Tell me what I want to know first…" he lowly replied, his middle finger teasing her entrance while his thumb kept rubbing expertly up and down over the hood of her swollen clit, making sure to strategically stop whenever he felt that she was too close to getting what she wanted…..
Way too focused with the waves of sensations washing over her body, Gabrielle had almost forgotten what her original purpose had been and had unconsciously lost the control she thought she had on the War God….She was at his mercy…..and she wanted him badly…..but before that, she just needed to relieve the tension escalating between her thighs ….
As if feeling her indecision, the God slid two fingers inside her and began massaging her G spot for a few seconds, just to get them out before she could fully enjoy it…..
"Tell me…." he repeated, his index now moving a few inches away from her hot spot and lazily caressing her labia…
" The essence of pure love….." she breathed out, finding a way to grind herself against his palm.
" The essence of pure love? Where do I find it?"
" I have no idea….that's all I know…" she answered with pleading eyes.
" Hmmmm…..Good girl! Now… are you ready for what I'm about to give you?"
" I've never be readier….." she almost screamed out her need, in a low, raspy voice.
" Good…..cause I've been waiting for this ever since you came and sat on my lap…" he replied, violently pushing three fingers this inside her this time. She let out a perfectly sensual moan in response, but the very next second, a bottle of wine was hitting her straight in the head, making her brain shut down any possible activity for a few hours…
" Thanks Blondie….I had a blast…..We should do this again sometime…" he said, getting up from the sofa and heading pensively down the hall towards Xena's room.

At about the same time, in the Warrior Princess' dream, everything was getting darker and darker….From up the hill where she was, next to the oak tree, in the beginning she could distinguish the ghostly silhouette of a village she felt connected to….Gradually though it started to fade away more and more until there was nothing left, disappearing into nothingness along with the hills around her and in the end, even along with the sky high, imposing tree…..
Slowly, a different scenery began to take shape and soon, she was standing at the outskirts of another village, vaguely familiar, but for a split second everything came back to her as she heard the voice of an old centaur friend.
" Xena…..I had no idea you were in the area…..You should have sent word. Solan will be thrilled to see you!"
"Solan….." she mechanically repeated, panic in her eyes. " No….Not my son ….."
