Chapter 42
"Have you lost your mind?!" a very shocked voice filled the room, where the two very lost in the throes of passion lovers occupied.
Xena was very close to her release, rocking her hips steadily in accordance with the War Gods' stimulating caresses, asking him to send her over the edge of that abyss. She didn't notice their two new visitors, she was only focused on the fire that the War God was gradually building inside of her. He started to move his fingers again within her and she cried out more as he thrust them into her at a pleasurable pace that had her panting heavily against his shoulder. Through her passion filled haze she suddenly heard a small gasp in surprise. The sound did not come from her and it was too feminine to have come from the War God. She slowly lifted her drugged with passion filled eyes up over Ares' shoulder, and she found even that small movement incredibly difficult the moment he started to thrust his fingers into her more intensely and her eyes drifted shut in ecstasy from the heavenly sensation and she gasped out as she tightened her hold on him. Her breathy whimpers in his ear only enticed him on and Ares started to thrust his fingers into her more deeply, pulling them out and ramming them back within her and he smiled as he started to kiss against the pulsating vein on her neck, her guttural moans of pleasure filling his head. Her moans came out hoarse against him and she opened her eyes to look in the direction that she had heard the foreign noise and came to find Flora and Astra staring at her in disbelief.
The God in front of her did not mind at all the intrusion and he just continued to stroke her as she neared her end, moving his other hand down so he could start to rub against her clit as he thrust his fingers into her. Xena on the other hand did not want to keep giving their two new visitors anymore of a show and with another whimper, that from the War Gods increased pressure against her clit and the deep plunge of his fingers that was meant to send her over the edge, she tried to hold it back against him. She pulled back from him and moved her hands to his chest, but he just moved forward and continued with his assault of kisses against her skin, finding that vein again that was just jumping at his touch. She continued to rock her hips in rhythm with his strokes, they seemed to be moving on their own accord as her body longed for the release that the War God was building within her.
One... two... three thrusts and she felt the beginning spasms of her orgasm starting to form and she couldn't help the wanton moan that tumbled out of her mouth again from the extreme pleasure of it all, every nerve within her just burning with a pure untamed desire for release. But with one hard reluctant push she shoved Ares away from her before she had the chance to tip over that pleasurable abyss. She immediately got down from the table and had to steady herself against it since her legs were a little shaky from the War Gods' touch.
Ares was a bit shocked that she had pushed him away that abruptly just when he was about to have her melt in his arms. He stared at her a bit mystified by her reaction to him and saw the alarmed look that came across her face before she quickly covered it as she seemed to stare passed him. He turned and looked in that direction to see that they were no longer alone and he frowned to himself for he knew he was not going to fulfill his need to have her tonight. Damn it, he was so close to claiming her entirely, a few more thrusts with his fingers and she would have tumbled over the abyss with pleasure as he claimed her body.
Xena tried to act like nothing had happened and she ignored and walked passed Ares and closer to her two comrades. "Has something happened? I thought everyone has turned in for the night."
"I'll say something happened alright." Astra retorted and her face turned up in disgust as she looked from Xena to Ares.
Xena shot her an icy glare at her words and she turned back for a second to look in the War God's direction. His vest had found its way back to his body and she also took note that he had given her back her undergarment.
"Xena what are you doing with him?" Flora asked, still not believing what she had just witnessed, "That's the God of War."
"I know who he is Flora." she told her sternly as she turned back to face her, "He was just visiting and in fact was just about to leave."
"Oh, I think he was doing more than just visiting." Astra shook her head at Xena, completely sickened by the show they had put on "Looked to me like you were whoring yourself out to this scum."
"Watch it!" Ares hissed out, he had let Xena handle the situation but that one was pushing her luck. She needed to choose her words more carefully when she was talking about his Chosen and those glares that she was constantly sending in his direction made him want to show her who she was really dealing with.
"Did I hit a nerve? Cause that's what she was doing, was she not? Whoring herself out to the God of War." Astra didn't care if she angered him with her words, she was completely revolted with what she had just walked in on.
"You need to be more careful in what you say little girl." Ares growled out and he began to head in her direction but was quickly stopped as Xena stepped in his path and placed her hand on his chest and gently pushed him backwards.
"Ares don't, let me handle this." Xena told him firmly and pushed against his chest more roughly when he moved a few inches forward.
The War God just continued to glare at Astra from over the top of Xena's head. He wasn't about to just let it go and those nasty looks she kept sending his way only fueled his anger even more. He began to move past Xena and he removed her hand from his chest and with enough force, but not enough to cause her any harm, he pushed her from his path. The Warrior Princess quickly reacted and reached out and caught him by the arm before he could go any further and pulled him forcefully back yet again. She placed herself back in front of him and began to push him back more roughly, trying to gain his attention, thus separating him more from the duo. She grabbed him harshly by his jaw and forced his face down towards her own as she tried to redirect his focus to herself. He refused to look at her though and just kept staring intently at the two warriors across the room or at least one in particular. As much as she was tempted to just let him release his anger on Astra, she knew that Flora might get caught in the crossfire. She didn't deserve that and Xena was not going to let Ares hurt her.
"Ares, look at me!" she commanded him, she needed to capture his attention or the two unfortunate guests were as good as dead. Xena saw that her words were having a miniature impact on him as he shifted his eyes to her for a brief moment and then focused them back on their guests. So she did the only thing she could think of that was sure to grab his attention fully. She let go of his jaw and lightly ran her fingers tenderly along his cheek then down to his jaw line where she traced it to his chin.
"Don't, just go..." seeing that her touch was having a more direct effect on the War God and not really thinking much about her next move, she leaned in closer to him and placed a soft tender kiss against the side of his neck, "Please." she murmured out just loud enough so only the War God could hear her and she placed another more sensual kiss against his neck as she began to nibble on it.
Ares heard his Princess' silent plea to let her handle it her way and he was more or less convinced that she was trying to seduce him into doing just what she wanted at the same time when she started to stroke his face and placed her lips against his skin once more. Having been so close to fulfilling his need to have her just to see that pleasure denied and roughly taken away, that kiss sent a blazing fire through him and went straight to his groin. He gave out a low groan as his arousal for her started to make itself more prominent once she started to run her hand seductively down his chest. He looked down at her and those bright cerulean eyes of hers were staring up at him, silently telling him that she could handle this as a slight wicked grin started to form on her face from the reaction she was getting out of him as her hand went teasingly lower.
That look only inflamed his own passion more and he suddenly grabbed Xena by the waist and pulled her closer to him, letting her know exactly what she was doing to him as their pelvises touched. He had never been so tempted to finish what they had started before and, audience or not, the need to toss her back on that table and send her straight to that burning pleasurable high as he plunged his engorged shaft into her was just unbearable! The only thing he wanted to hear, the only sound that mattered were the ones of her hoarse cries of ecstasy as he sent her over that abyss with his unwavering thrusts within her….The urge to hear her scream out his name in passion as she reached her climax was now unbearably strong, his grip on her waist tightened while he tried to get that urge under control and it was taking everything that he had in him to not just rip the clothes from her body and pin her against a wall and fuck her brains out again and again for the rest of the night.
She was his little vixen, using her sexual powers to get what she wanted from him. Dictating to him... HIM, the God of War, practically commanding and telling him what to do as if he was just some ordinary mortal waiting for an order from his master. She was definitely his Chosen, no other mortal had ever even dared to talk to him the way she did and to have put their hands on him in such a forceful manner they would have been reduced to a pile of ash but with her it was different. His features softened as he looked at her and he brought his hand up and ran it tenderly down the side of her face. Why was it that he could never seem to bring himself to refuse her?
"If you need anything…" he told her and she nodded her head faintly at his comment. The War God moved his gaze back to the women on the other side of the room and gave them both a malicious glare. He pulled Xena a little closer to himself, placing a possessive arm around her waist, clearly stating to the two across the room that if she was harmed in any way then they were going to have to deal with him and they weren't going to like what he was going to do to them. He smoothed back her hair for a moment and then brought his cruel eyes, which immediately diminished their hateful look, to his Princess' gorgeous sapphire ones and then placed a gentle kiss against her forehead before he disappeared from the temple.
Flora and Astra were shocked to see her have that kind of control over the War God. They had never seen anyone talk to a God like they were just another mortal and to tell them what to do, that had them truly astonished. Plus, the way she seemed to be able to just push him around, as if she had no real fear of the power he had and what he could do to her, stunned them both. The whole interaction between the pair was quite surprising to say the least.
"Xena what were you thinking?" Flora asked again, she didn't want to see Xena get punished for a lapse in judgment on her part. She was glad that they really had been doing nothing because she really couldn't see anything since the War God had been standing in front of Xena when they got there and it just looked like he was just kissing her.
"Nothing happened." Xena tried to reinforce again.
"It sure didn't sound like nothing was happening." Astra knew that this was just the kind of dirt that she needed to finally get Athena to see that Xena was not as awe inspiring as she thought she was. The fact that she had given her the goods herself was even better. Her little rendezvous with the God of War would not sit very well with their Goddess once she found out.
"Believe what you will Astra, but I'm not going to stand here and discuss what you think you might have heard."
"I don't think, I know what I heard. You were panting and moaning so loud I'm surprised they didn't hear you up on Olympus." Astra retorted, she was finally in a position where she had the upper hand for once and the almighty Xena was going to plummet from it.
"I am still your commanding officer and you will show a little respect and learn how to control your tongue." Xena hissed out to her, she was slowly losing her patience with her.
"Commanding officer? You are nothing more than a common slut who has disgraced this temple by letting the God of War fuck you on that table."
Flora's eyes grew wide, she was completely shocked by Astra's words and was even more surprised when Xena walked up to her and delivered a vicious punch that connected to her jaw and sent her sailing to the ground.
"I told you, you will learn to control that tongue of yours." Xena growled out. She looked down at Astra with loathing and then shifted her gaze to Flora. She could see that she was thoroughly shocked by the whole thing.
Xena was done with this conversation and she left them there without another word as she made her way to her bedchamber. Her skin was still tingling with pleasure from her unfinished meeting with the War God. She had been so close and, damn it, she had wanted that release so badly, but now that she had a chance to clear her head she thought that it might have been for the best that they were interrupted before Ares could have accomplished his goal. She knew that if he did, then they certainly would not have stopped there and he would have taken her completely and he would have buried himself deep inside of her, taking her again and she wouldn't have done a single thing to stop him.
The call of the War God was a hard one for her to resist and there was a part of her that constantly craved his touch. No matter how many times she told herself to keep things strictly business, her mutinous body always betrayed her when he was near her. His presence just engulfed her, attacking her senses and making her think about nothing else but him and that made her want to give in to that delectable temptation that he was. She didn't want to give him that kind of power over her, she always felt like she lost some kind of control when he was around and she didn't like not being in control.
Xena had initially believed that with his long absence, she might have gotten him out of her system and he wouldn't still affect her so strongly, but that was clearly not the case. She knew that if she had given herself completely to the War God, then there would have been no going back. But she was surely kidding herself if she thought that she didn't want it to happen.
