Xena laid on her back, as usual with her eyes closed. Next thing she knew, she was being straddled and her arms were being pinned over her head. Just as she was about to fight off her attacker, she realized it was Gabrielle; she was relieved, and extremely turned on. "What are you..."
"Shh!" Gabrielle pressed her fingers against Xena's lips, stopping all sound. She leaned down and replaced her fingers with her mouth, causing Xena to breathe heavily. After releasing the arms struggling beneath her, she moved on to kissing the warrior's soft neck, while sliding her muscular leg between the two tense legs of the warrior.
"Gabrielle," Xena whispered, craving the weight of the girl on top of her. Both of them were breathing heavily, she slid her calloused hand slowly under the back of Gabrielle's green top.
A crack of thunder ripped the warrior out of her fantasy. 'Just a dream,' she thought to herself. Sighing in disappointment, she looked up to the sky and recognized the rain clouds soaring overhead. "Gabrielle," she shook her to wake her, "we need to find shelter, it's going to storm."
"Wha?" She was still half asleep.
"Let's go." Just then the flood gates of the heavens broke open and rain began to pour down. "Hurry! Before the bedrolls get drenched and muddy!" The two women scrambled to pick up all of their camp. Once everything was loaded up, Xena jumped onto Argo and pulled up her soaking wet companion; she marveled at how good she looked even in these conditions. They took off to find the closest shelter to get warm.
Xena couldn't help but notice how tightly Gabrielle was squeezing her. She put a reassuring hand over the top of the bard's, who then leaned her entire body into the warrior's back and nestled her head into her strong shoulder. The strong warrior felt a little loss of concentration, her young friend felt so good against her.
It was still pitch black outside, probably only an hour or two since they first went to sleep. Distracted not only by the girl clinging to her, but also the dream she'd just had and the rain that had interrupted it, Xena was finding it hard to focus on finding a shelter. Just when she thought they'd have to give up and build their own, she saw something. "Up ahead, there's a cave."
Gabrielle nodded in approval, and within minutes they were in the cave, dismounting a soaking wet Argo. "I'm going to start a fire, we need to get warm," Xena started looking for some wood. Gabrielle was shivering and pulling the bedrolls out of their packs.
"X-x-xena t-these are s-soaked."
"Lay them out and hopefully they'll dry faster with the fire." Xena said, successfully building a strong fire. "You need to get warm. Let me see if my blanket stayed a little dry, it was at the bottom of the saddle bag."
Gabrielle sat on a rock in front of the fire as Xena pulled her blanket from the saddle bag; it was surprisingly dry. She walked up behind the bard and bent down to envelop her in the blanket. Gabrielle grabbed Xena's hands as they reached in front of her, "What about you Xena?"
"Don't worry about me." Xena said, pulling back her hands and wringing out her long black hair. She then made her way over to the fire in an attempt to get warmed up. She felt a little awkward about the dream she had and didn't want to assume anything would happen since she messed up earlier in the night. "We should really get some sleep, the sun will probably be up in the next few hours." She sprawled out on her back on the bare ground, the bedrolls were still too damp and cold to lay on. "Good night."
"Night." Gabrielle was still sitting up, staring into the fire. She couldn't stop thinking about the kiss she'd shared with Xena earlier. She had no idea what it meant, but she knew that she enjoyed it, probably more than she should have. She began to wonder where it might have gone if that rabbit hadn't interrupted them.
Xena, who fell asleep in record time, curled up into a ball. 'She's got to be freezing,' Gabrielle thought to herself, 'she never sleeps like that.' She stood up and walked over to where Xena was laying. She quietly laid down behind her and wrapped her arm, along with the blanket, around her.
The movement woke Xena, "What are you doing?"
"You're cold, Xena, you need to warm up."
"Thank you," Xena gratefully replied, holding Gabrielle's arm tightly. Gabrielle smiled and closed her eyes, happy to be so close to her friend.
Morning came quickly, but the rain still poured down. Xena awoke first, as usual, and Gabrielle was still holding her tight. She smiled and attempted to roll over, but the young girl woke up. "Xena? What's wrong?" she asked in a sleepy voice.
"Nothing, just need to relieve myself."
"Oh, ok. Rain stopped?"
Xena stood up and looked out of the cave entrance, "It's still pouring out there, doesn't look like it'll let up anytime soon. We should probably stay in here, we won't even be able to see a foot in front of us if we go out there."
"Then I'm going back to sleep," Gabrielle rolled over.
Xena smirked at her beautiful counterpart, she wondered if she may get to experience her dream in reality sometime, she would really enjoy that. She wandered into the corner of the cave to relieve herself, never letting the young woman leave her sight; never know who could be lurking out in the rain. She made her way back to the fire and admired Gabrielle laying peacefully in front of it, as if she was still cuddled up in front of her.
The warrior decided that she might as well lay back down, the morning was still young and there was nothing else she could really do. Was that the real reason, she wondered, or did the thought of curling up with Gabrielle have something to do with it.
Dismissing the thought, she slid under the covers behind Gabrielle, pressing up against her entire back side. She propped herself up on her left elbow and looked down lovingly, sliding her right arm down the outer arm of her bard, interlocking fingers with her as she reached her hand. "Thought you were getting up," the sound came without movement, apparently she wasn't really sleeping.
"Thought you were going back to sleep," Xena teased with her flirty smile shining down on Gabrielle, who had turned her head to look at her intruder.
"Well someone isn't letting me," Gabrielle's eyes were glued to the crystal blue eyes staring lovingly down at her.
"Oh, is that how it is?" Xena asked playfully.
"Yeah," Gabrielle said sarcastically, a devious smile spreading across her face.
"Oh really," Xena began to tickle her friend as an act of revenge.
Laughing hysterically, Gabrielle squealed out, "Stop it, Xena! No fair!" She was rolling around, trying to free herself from the warrior's grasp.
"Why don't you make me?" Xena taunted. After another minute of struggling, Gabrielle managed to push Xena onto her back. With the warrior stunned, she quickly jumped up, straddled the woman and pinned her hands over her head.
Xena could feel the shocked and excited smile she had spreading across her face. She wished she could tone it down but she was too aroused by the whole situation. "I win," Gabrielle said defiantly.
"I suppose you do, now what?" she asked suggestively, raising her eyebrow.
"I collect my winnings," Gabrielle said, leaning down and kissing her opponent vigorously.
Xena's heart felt as though it would beat right out of her chest, she'd never been so fired up. She was immobilized; everything was in the bard's control. She could feel fire under her skin as the bard slowly kissed her strong jaw line and migrated to her soft, warm neck. Xena exhaled deeply. The feeling of that strawberry blonde hair surrounding her face and slowly grazing her skin with the movements of the bard was almost too much, it caused her back to arch.
Gabrielle loved having the warrior princess laying helplessly below her and she knew that she was arousing her. She lowered her body onto the helpless warrior and gently slid one leg between the strong, sculpted legs of the fierce woman. She propped herself onto her left forearm and ran her right hand down the warrior's arm, freeing the powerful woman to do as she pleased.
Xena's hands began to roam all over the young bard, unable to figure out where they should be.
Gabrielle couldn't believe this was happening, she loved being the object of Xena's desire. The feeling of those strong hands appreciating every inch of her body was sheer ecstasy.
A loud exhale left the bard's breast when Xena's roaming hands grabbed her muscular glutes. Xena, liking that reaction, then pulled the bard into her, using her glutes as a handle. "Xena," Gabrielle breathed loudly into the warrior's ear. This proved to be too much for the warrior, who then shoved Gabrielle by her shoulder and rolled her onto her back. The warrior rolled with her, shoving her leg strongly between the warm legs of the bard. It was Xena's turn.
Xena kissed the girl passionately for a minute, then lead a trail of passionate kisses down her neck, along her collar bone and straight down her chest. Stopping midway, Xena traced the cleavage line of her captive with her tongue. The bard shot her leg up into the warrior's groin, causing a slight moan to come from the warrior's mouth. As her counter attack, she began to untie the bard's top, using only her teeth. The top fell open, bearing the bard's plump breasts. She slid her hand from the bard's thigh, up her stomach, and came to a stop grasping one breast as she sucked on the other. Gabrielle moaned and pulled the entire weight of the warrior down onto her. She grabbed the hair at the back of her warrior's head and pulled her up to devour her with kisses, while simultaneously gyrating her pelvis against Xena's. Xena returned the movements as Gabrielle began to pull off her leathers. The warrior, in turn, slid the skirt off the young bard.
The two lay intertwined, their bare breasts pressed up against each other, with only their underwear keeping them from being completely exposed to one another. Still locked on the lips of the bard, the warrior slightly lifted her hips and ran her hand down the side of the beautiful woman below. She gently ran her fingers under the girl's waistband, causing her to gasp with pleasure.
Gabrielle, with both hands, grabbed a hold of the warrior's butt, coaxing a smile out of the warrior princess. Xena, looking defiantly down into the eyes of her not-so-innocent counterpart, slid her hand between her legs and began stroking the girl outside her under garments. Gabrielle, only seeming slightly shocked, slid her hands under the warrior's underwear, grabbing her butt in full force. Xena, even more turned on now, began running her fingers under the edges of Gabrielle's unders.
The young bard, tiring from all of the beating around the bush, slid both hands around the warrior's waist and down the front of her underwear. Xena was completely shocked, but too aroused to show it, she gently slid off the last barrier the bard had protecting her. Gabrielle followed suit, leaving nothing between them. They both let their fingers do the walking and sunk into each other's inner core.
Joining efforts between their fingers and gyrating, the two began to breath heavier and heavier, until they finally lost control. Letting out a final gasp, Xena exhaled heavily and slid off the bard and onto her side; her arms still clutching the loyal friend alongside her.
Gabrielle, catching her breath, wiped her sweaty bangs from her forehead and turned to face the woman who had just changed her life. "I love you, Xena," she said, still slightly out of breath.
"I love you too, Gabrielle," Xena said, looking lovingly into her friend's eyes.
The two lay intertwined for the better part of an hour before deciding it was probably time for them to get up. The rain had finally let up and they sure could use the fresh air.
