Chapter 62

The sound of playful laughter could clearly be heard throughout the elaborate space, followed by erotic gasps and moans from the duo's intense activity that they had going on. Not a single second had been lost, each of them taking full advantage of every moment that they were spending together.

"Ss-stop it." she lazily commanded him, relaxing further within the comfort of her plush haven and lacking any type of real authority behind those words that would have really been needed to show him just how serious she was with her statement.

Before the War God had a chance to respond to her completely ridiculous command- that he really wasn't going to pay any attention to anyway- a highly illicit moan had made its way out of her mouth while her body arched from the sensation. Now that little sound, that was an order that held a lot more power behind it than her pitiful attempt to get him to actually do what she thought she wanted. Her body was telling him every little thing, revealing her most well hidden desires and that was all he truly needed to know and right now it was humming for him to continue.

"You can deny it all you want, Princess, but you love it." he smugly replied, continuing with his sensual movements and leaning closer to her and placing sluggish kisses against her bare shoulder.

"No I don't." she naïvely stated, casting him a pathetic excuse of a look to show her displeasure to what he was doing- despite the fact that her body was going against everything that she was struggling to prove.

"You were certainly singing a different tune the last time we did this." he cleverly informed her, moving his hands stimulatingly down her back and he was quickly rewarded with an erotic whimper that she did a terrible job of trying to hide.

"That was different." she softly sighed out a few seconds too late when her brain finally realized that it needed to respond- instead of allowing him to distract her with his deceitful charm.

"Really?" he asked suspiciously, completely amused with the way his Princess was trying so hard to make it seem like he had no effect on her what so ever.

"Yes, it was!" she firmly stated- but he didn't believe a single word she was saying and for a moment, she tried to get up to really enforce the fact that she could resist him but the War God was not about to let that happen so he kept her firmly where she was.

"How so?" he inquired, delicately running his fingers along her side and unlike the last time, he made sure he intentionally grazed against her breasts a lot longer than he needed to as he did so.

The utterly sensual feeling only made her shiver- the one thing that she didn't want to happen -and she completely hated herself for it. Why did her traitorous body have to rebel against her every time she needed it to obey her commands the most? It felt so good though, she couldn't deny that and in the end, she loved the way he worshipped her.

"Well, if you must know…" she began, trying unsuccessfully to ignore the way his hands were roaming their way freely further down her back, "… after you have sneakily uninvited your way into my bed chamber…." she managed to get out, but each thought-out caress and gentle squeeze against her flesh was making it hard for her to concentrate on her thoughts.

"… I didn't want to hurt your feelings and… I…" when he reached her butt, it was like a wave of pleasure had just exploded within her, racing wildly throughout her system when she felt the sudden warmth emanating from his hands, "… I…. uh…."

It was impossible for her to finish that thought with his slow descent and the unbearable heat that was amplifying everything to the max was quickly blurring what she had wanted to say.

He gradually worked his hands down to her thighs, softly kneading his Princess' velvety skin and she was visibly filled with expectancy from the feeling. Her breathing had become more labored while she waited, not really knowing what to expect at this point but the sensation of his hand gliding closer and closer to her womanhood was driving her absolutely crazy.

She knew that the second the War God was going to touch her, he would unmistakably feel her arousal and she squirmed a bit restless from the thought, not quite sure whether or not that was entirely a good thing and her legs unconsciously drifted further apart from the movement and a completely conceited smirk formed on Ares' face with her subtle little offer.

By this point, she wasn't fooling anyone, and her resistance only made the attempt of destroying that barrier even more enjoyable to him. So, while his Princess was trying to hold on to what last bit of strength that she had left to fight against him, Ares had worked his hand back up to her ass cheek, squeezing lightly for a few seconds and then he leisurely slid his hand down between her thighs- practically having Xena holding her breath the entire time in anticipation.

As he ran his hand along her slick folds, she finally remembered to breathe and a shaky breath escaped from her mouth, making his already way too slow movements become even slower, but then he intensified the warmth he had been applying to her body and it was like he had just unleashed a rabid storm within his gorgeous Princess.

A pleasurable moan fought its way free from her throat from the feeling- the heat applied there was sending spasms racing through her needy pussy and it ached dreadfully for him as it gushed more. He denied her the pleasure of him entering her though, no, that would have been way too easy for her and he was determined to make her see that there was no one who could invoke in her the passion that he could.

So instead, he lightly began to move his hand back and forth against her, softly rubbing against her contracting pussy as he ran his fingers up and down her sex and every time he moved, the heat would only get more and more intense. All this time, his other hand was gently running up and down her spine, as if he was trying to soothe his Princess through her little sexual trip and that appeared to relax her a bit while she moaned out softly with his caresses.

"Mmm… oh my…" she whimpered out breathlessly as the pleasure began to mount to unimaginable levels and she buried her face into the pillows to try and muffle her cries a little before moaning out sexily from the agonizing sensation that had just turned into pure pleasurable torture.

As her breathing began to get more and more labored, she fisted the bed sheets within her hands tightly while she felt Ares' slow descent along her soaked opening, wanting dreadfully for him to plunge his fingers within her, and he definitely must have sensed the desperation within her because for a moment, his fingers softly slid their way into her gushing pussy- just a fraction- enough to have risen the desire within her before he pulled them out and lazily glided over her sex again.

The heat had become more concentrated after that cunning move, rippling through her madly and then she suddenly stiffened and then convulsed wildly as her release washed over her. While her body was just about turning into a pile of mush from the experience, she just couldn't believe it really, he technically didn't even do anything major and she had still been brought to climax from his maddening touch alone.

As for the War God, he felt quite pleased with himself and he lazily started to kiss his way up every inch of her back, stopping to show a generous amount of attention against the side of her neck, making her sigh out contented before he moved to lay down beside her on the bed. Her eyes were closed though, denying him the sight of those beautiful baby blues while she attempted to get her heavy breathing under control and he brought his hand up and tenderly ran his knuckles down her cheek.

The sensation must have been a signal for his lovely Princess because a tiny smile pulled at her lips from the contact and then her gorgeous sapphire eyes slowly fluttered open to meet his and they were filled with such a well sated desire that there was just no stopping the conceited grin that started to appear on his face.

"You're just so proud of yourself, aren't you?" she asked him with a bit of annoyance, shifting to face him completely and still not fully believing that that amazing moment had just happened.

That ever growing smirk as he possessively wrapped his arms around her still shaky form, pulling her closer to himself only made Xena hate him a little at that moment. He just thought that he was such a charmer, well, he just wait until she was recovered and he didn't have her in such a dominating position.

"Very…" was his cocky reply before swiftly capturing her lips in a long passionate lustful kiss.

Once that had ended, it wasn't long before she curled herself up against him like an adorable little kitten, territorially marking her space within his arms while she nestled herself firmly there and lazily nuzzled her head against his chest so she could listen to his heart. His arms closed in around her tightly once she cuddled herself perfectly next to him, securing his precious kitten- but with very deadly claws- snuggly alongside himself.

Xxxxxx

It was just so peaceful, something he didn't do a lot of or even attempted to do with his line of work but this, he would have gladly traded any bloody battle for just a fleeting moment of serenity with his darling Princess. He placed a long, loving kiss against her head and tenderly moved his hand up and down her back soothingly, just taking everything in as though there was nothing that could disrupt this for him.

Nevertheless, just like anything else, all good things must eventually come to an end and the War God, though he didn't have very many of them, was no exception to the rule and his tranquil bubble had suddenly come to an abrupt halt when a nagging voice started to ring through his head. His body tensed instantly from it and the complete negative energy that he was now emanating transferred like a lightening bolt to his gorgeous Princess and her face scrunched up into a frown from the vibe, not liking at all what was interfering with the warmth and calmness that she just had.

"Zeus…" he grudgingly murmured out, displeased with having even uttered that atrocious name for one second.

What in Tartarus did he want?! If he never saw his face again for the next century it would still have been too soon as far as he was concerned. He huffed out an aggravated breath when that irritating voice said his name again and the tension in his body only seemed to grow each time he heard it. He didn't need to answer him anyway and he certainly wasn't planning on paying him a visit anytime soon. He would show up when he felt like it and at the moment he didn't feel like going anywhere. Besides, what could he really do to him anyway? They needed him after all…

As if it was to act as a crucial reminder to his silent question, Xena softly tightened her hold around him, applying a little more pressure to his insanely stressed form in her unconscious attempt to calm him from whatever it was that had made him so upset and she cuddled herself up further against him.

The War God immediately looked down at her with her light movement and he softly started to smooth back her silky raven tresses before impossibly tightening his grip around her, determined to keep her tethered to him at any cost. What Zeus could do to him through her- now that was an absolutely terrifying thought before he quickly shook it from his mind. He couldn't afford to be kept away from his Princess, especially not now and Ares started to rethink his actions for a moment. Though he wasn't completely thrilled with the outcome of the idea, he would go and see what the old man wanted.

Still, there was absolutely nothing wrong with keeping him waiting for a few more seconds and Ares just admired Xena's face for a little while longer, delicately smoothing his fingers along her cheek before he finally placed a sweet kiss against her forehead. He removed himself from her lax hold, materializing his leathers onto himself as he prepared to leave. But before he left, he made a beautiful rose appear in his hand and he softly laid it down on the pillow next to his slumbering Princess. Another quick, or not so quick actually, kiss against her cheek and lips and he was gone, leaving the Warrior Princess alone within the confines of her new, but not entirely off limits quarters.
