SO X/A FANS, IF THERE'S ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE FIRST PART OF THEIR NIGHT TOGETHER , I ALREADY WROTE A FEW YEARS BACK A SHORT STORY - THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING - FOCUSED PRECISELY ON THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THAT / OR REWRITE IT SINCE I STILL HAVE THAT VISION OF THEM TOGETHER LIKE THAT ( AND MORE). IF YOU'RE CURIOUS AND IF YOU DON'T MIND THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES ( THAT WAS MY LEVEL OF ENGLISH BACK THEN ) PLEASE READ IT .IF NOT...YOU CAN STILL ENJOY THIS PART :) TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK :)

The tickling sensation of his hot breath fanning against her shoulder woke her up sooner that she would have liked too and though it took her brain a few seconds to fully escape the enticing images still lingering before her barely opened eyes, the instant her senses did pull her back into the real world, for what felt like forever, the air refused to enter her lungs as the realization that everything that had happened between them during that night hadn't actually been a dream, washed over her like purple rain, a cataclysmic flood of conflicting feelings and emotions that for a moment or two threatened to destroy everything in their path- her emotional stability included.

On the one hand, she could once again feel that rare kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttering their wings restlessly inside her stomach, making her heart quicken. On the other hand, her pulse... she could distinctly hear it in her ears, at about the same time a dreadful feeling of panic that gripped her throat took over, preventing her to swallow despite the fact that the inside of her mouth was as dry as the Sahara.

She had given into him…all their little games, the innuendoes, the lust in his eyes, the sparks and the flames- every single detail had somehow blended perfectly into this mind numbing cocktail she ended up drinking without a second thought, convinced that it was her own decision to do so- despite the red alerts her brain had been constantly sending regarding just how wrong such imbalance of power would really be and how much her foolishness would going to cost her in the long run…..

Actually, at that point in time, the right aproach and the wisest thing to do, would have been to tempt him out of his mind and make the most of it without crossing any lines- sex was definitely a bright cherry red one. Such recklessness equaled losing leverage over him. His burning desire for her along with that undisguised interest he had shown for her military skills from day one could have been the advantage she needed to keep him on his toes, eager to comply to her any request…Or at least that was what she had hoped to achieve….

….And yet, there she was, still sinking into his protective embrace, his warm lips just a breath away from her shoulder while his firm hand was still gently cupping her left breast.

Without moving an inch, she tried to scan her surroundings, as much as her vision allowed her to.. A satin sheet was partly covering her from the waist down- although she could perfectly feel his groin pressed against her ass cheeks through that almost nonexistent piece of fabric and judging by the salty smell in the air, they were still at that abandoned temple he had taken her to as the ball ended.

She unconsciously bit her lip as from somewhere deep inside her mind, the still fresh memories of his mouth and tongue projecting her to the Elysian Fields and back caused her still sore vagina to pulsate maddeningly with pleasure. Her eyes widened instantly at the sensation and they stayed that way for a while longer as she finally noticed the red marks on her wrists from where his fingers had squeezed mercilessly to keep her pinned against that bed.

She couldn't help escape a goofy smile as a short film of their love making began to unfold inside her mind. They had started off in the most romantic, fairytale-like manner, with her barely containing her emotions-she had been incredibly nervous about the whole thing, scared to death that her lack of experience would only prove to be a turn off for him – and ended devouring each other in ways she would have never thought possible. By all gods, she was so attracted to him she couldn't even think straight!

''Hmmmm!''….the low, needy exclamation had left her throat of its own accord, making her flinch with surprise as she felt his hand gliding from her breast up to her chest just to settle on her neck where his fingers squeezed lightly, once again igniting everything inside her…..She was quenchless!

''Well good morning to you too, beautiful! Isn't this a fabulous way to start our day?'' he whispered, delicately nuzzling her earlobe. ''How are you ?'' he then asked , turning her gently around so that she could face him, a bit taken aback by the sudden tension in her body .

The last thing he wanted was to read the regret in those gorgeous, cerulean moons, but luckily as her gaze searched for his, he could see nothing but utter excitement and maybe, a certain degree of restraint. She was probably more worried about his reaction than about the fact that she had actually allowed things to go this far between them…

''Fine….''she swiftly answered, struggling to mask her insecurities.

''Fine ? '' he retorted, slowly tracing the contour of her dry, parted lips. '' I guess we have a problem then, 'cause anything outside amazing, outstanding or spectacular is just not acceptable" he playfully remarked and before she knew it, his mouth was closing over hers with all the pent up fire of the wild night they had shared, sinking her head into the soft pillow as he shifted on top of her, his bodyweight keeping her pinned against that same mattress that had blocked most of her moans and pants just hours before- when his tongue had imposed a such a pleasantly savage rhythm that had slowly driven her onto the edge of insanity.

''Why don't we fix that….?''he suggested, and despite her blatant lack of experience, Xena couldn't help thinking that the possessiveness of that kiss was not only unnatural but sick. What was even scarier, was that she liked it-in fact she was slowly becoming addicted to it….The awareness that she could hardly control herself around him was driving her crazy- even more aroused than she had been that night and as his fingers started playing with her nipples, the only thing she was sure of was that she was about to turn into a burning pyre unless she had him inside her again….

''Let me guess….you're here because of Ares….'' Athena smirked, giving the petite goddess a mocking once over. She had never liked Discord- way too superficial and careless for her taste – not to mention impulsive and irrational – but despite her numerous flaws, there was a certain determination about her that had always intrigued the daughter of Zeus. Not too bright, but tenacious …-she could definitely work with that.

''More like because of his new toy ….'' she corrected, her piercing dark brown eyes trying to see beyond her interlocutor's contemptuous glare.

''Jealousy…such a complex and yet disabling emotion…'' the Goddess answered, trying to appear as detached from the situation as possible.

''Jealous ?! On a mortal whore ?! Hardly …'' the brunette was quick to defend herself, but judging by the particular way in which her eyes twinkled with an impossible to miss, benign mischief , the Goddess of Wisdom had been spot on .

''Right ….''Athena replied, content that she had received her confirmation. She had a new pawn. And she didn't even have to lift one finger to get it….''Why are you here then ?''

''She's in my way …..And I don't like her. I can only assume you feel the same….''

''Why would you assume that ?!"'

''Come on, Athena. I'm not stupid. With her in the picture, Ares is one small step away from becoming invincible. Pretty soon you'll be leaving flowers on his altars….'' she poisonously spat. She was definitely good at her job, 'cause her words instantly made her interlocutor flinch.

''On his grave maybe …..'' the Goddess corrected but she didn't sound at all convinced.

''Fratricide is beneath you ….Why not on hers …?.Just sayin'….'' Discord made sure to add, aware of just how dangerous it was for someone to overhear them.

''She's off limits, as you well know..''Athena casually reminded, but one could tell the wheels were already turning inside her head. ''The consequence for such bold attempt would be death for everyone involved…''

''If they are ever caught ….''

''Would you be willing to gamble your life for a mortal whore ?" the Goddess of Wisdom cunningly tempted, although she already knew the answer to that question.

''What's the point in living forever without taking a few risks now and then ? Plus ….I'm pretty sure that at the end of the day, Zeus himself would consider such a tragic outcome as a huge favour ''

''Don't get ahead of yourself, Discord. You only die once!''

''You should know… With Ares crowned King of the Gods, no one would be safe …''

''I'm not scared of that brainless toad!'' Athena exclaimed, finally rising from her throne, unable to hide her agitation any more.…

''Not now….but you heard the Fates. The flames and blood of war will rule over Greece for the following decade ….Wanna take wild guess why that is ?''

''So do you have any bright ideas?" the Goddess finally snapped at her, suddenly irritated by her very presence.

''As a matter of fact, I do …..She's mortal, you know and if there's one thing certain about mortals is that they are vulnerable- the perfect time to strike. Plus, this might just be the only chance we will ever get, cause I can guarantee it, Ares will bend over backwards to make her accept eternity….It's just a matter of time …And when that happens….''

''Olympus as we know it will be history …''

''That's precisely why we must be one step ahead of him. ''

''What do you have in mind …?''

''Well, it so happens that I know someone who would be more than willing to help…..''

''Oh Gods! Harderrrrr! ''the Warrior Princess' sultry screams and moans bounced off the temple columns building in volume while searching their way back to the War God's ears, making him pump inside her continuously dripping pussy at an even more ferocious pace.

The bouncing, the erect nipples, those bed creaking deep thrusts, her voice, the flushed skin, the low grunts, the heat ,the wild eyes rolling back in her head, the quick panting...for the War God that was the recipe for an unforgetatble orgasm. It's no wonder that it didn't last long before they both came, the animal grunt rising in intensity under his clenched teeth,culminatimg the moment Xena's body began to vibrate under the continuous waves of ecstasy injected systematically into her constricting muscles.

Finally her grip loosened but as she let go of his shoulders, she literally felt as if she was falling from somewhere high, as if she was floating and flying at the same time, unable to regain proper control over her body and barely able to string two words together when he reapated the question...

" So uh...how are you, Princess?''

" Never better...''

" Now that's an answer I can live with!"
