In the dimly lit room of the inn, Xena took Gabrielle's hand and pressed her lips to the soft skin after hearing the young woman tell her that she wanted her.
XENA
I love you.
The warrior brought her mouth to meet the blonde's several times.
GABRIELLE
I love you, Xena.
Short words of affection were spoken by both women between their lips and tongues meeting a few more times, before Xena began to smooth her lips down Gabrielle's neck. The blonde took a sharp inhale as the warrior made contact with the exposed area of her chest above her shirt, feeling the woman's breath against her skin. Xena continued tracing her lips across Gabrielle's upper chest and neck, all the while hearing the clearly increasingly delighted rasps from the young woman who brought her hands up to entangle in the warrior's dark hair as she softly mewed the woman's name. The sound was like music to Xena's ears as she brought her mouth back up to Gabrielle's, as her fingertips began to roam across the woman's toned stomach and slowly move upward to lightly graze her palms over young woman's covered breasts.
GABRIELLE
(Eager Whisper) Xena.
Hearing the way Gabrielle spoke her name into her ear, Xena could feel her center quiver and had to push down the urge to take Gabrielle right then and there, as the warrior wanted to go slow with the inexperienced woman, knowing that it was her first time. So instead, Xena continued to lovingly handle the blonde's peaks for another few moments before catching the string to Gabrielle's top between her fingers and slowly tugged at it to undo the tie. The string came undone and Xena continued to pull at the strings until the bard's shirt fell open and exposed her breasts to the warrior's eyes. Gabrielle felt the warmth of Xena's direct touch and let out a small sigh as she felt the other woman begin molding her hands over the sensitive flesh. They shared another deep kiss before Xena again traced her lips downward. Gabrielle then let her head fall back a little as she felt Xena's lips graze her nipple. The warrior then traced around the area with the tip of her tongue, flicking it a number of times before the younger woman let out another small sigh as she felt Xena close lips around the nipple and suck on it. Xena continued to suckle the bard's breast for a little bit before moving her lips to the other peek, and alternated between using lips and tongue to tease the supple skin. All the while loving the symphony of tantalizing sounds coming from Gabrielle, who could feel her nippleshardening and the area between her legs becoming increasingly wet as it almost seemed to ache with need.
GABRIELLE
(Wanting tone) Oh gods, Xena.
The dark-haired warrior continued to suck and mold Gabrielle's breasts for another few moments before taking her mouth away, and pushed Gabrielle's open top off her shoulders and the blonde let it fall off her arms to the bed before bringing her hands up to cup Xena's face, pulling the woman closer seize her lips passionately. Their lips pressing together several times, Xena pulled back just out of Gabrielle's reach as both women breathed heavily.
XENA
(Seductive Whisper) Lay down.
Doing as Xena asked, the younger woman laid back onto the bed as Xena stood to remove Gabrielle's boots, crouching down beside the bed as she set them on the floor before tracing her fingertips up Gabrielle's leg to her skirt, pushing it up as her hands continued toward their destination. Gabrielle let out a deep exhale when she felt Xena's fingertips brush up against her heated center through her underwear, causing the dark-haired woman to smirk at the reaction she got as she began to stroke her finger against the covered folds.
XENA
(Seductive tone) You like having me touch you there?
Gabrielle raised her head to look at Xena and nodded, before another moan escaped her lips when she felt Xena's finger press a little harder against her as the warrior began slowly stroking up and down, the young woman's sex and the blonde laid her head back down. Xena continued lightly touching Gabrielle over the fabric of her underwear for another few moments, feeling the evidence of Gabrielle's increasing arousal beginning to seep through the thin piece of cloth separating Xena from directly touching her. She carried on for another couple moments before taking her hand away, and smirked when she heard a slightly disappointed groan and looked up to see a matching expression on Gabrielle's face.
XENA
(Seductive tone) Don't worry, we're only just getting started.
The warrior then stood and undid the button keeping Gabrielle's skirt up and with a little assistance from the blonde, slid both it and the woman's underwear down and let them drop to the floor. Afterwards Xena stood there for a moment, taking in the beautiful sight of Gabrielle's fully nude form, and felt her breath catch in her throat, before having to mentally remind herself to breathe.
GABRIELLE
Everything okay, Xena?
The raven-haired warrior smiled as leaned over the blonde and placed a small kiss on the woman's lips.
XENA
Just making a mental note of how lucky I am to have you.
The blonde felt herself blush but tried to play it off.
GABRIELLE
(Joking tone) Oh stop, Xena.
XENA
I'm serious.
Xena brushed a bit of golden hair behind Gabrielle's ear as she continued.
XENA
You really are amazing Gabrielle, and I don't know where I'd be right now if not for you.
GABRIELLE
...Xena.
The warrior laid a light kiss on Gabrielle's lips before standing upright and undid the buckles to her armor, setting it on the chair nearby and reached behind her, undoing the string to her leather top and Gabrielle watched as Xena seemed to move in slow motion when pulling off the leather revealing her ample breasts, and Gabrielle unintentionally swallowed hard as her yearning for the warrior suddenly intensified greatly, until she realized that she had been staring at the woman and lowered her gaze from her chest.
GABRIELLE
Sorry, I didn't mean to stare.
Xena chuckled at the younger woman's bashfulness as she moved to sit on the edge of the bed.
XENA
Come on, Gabrielle, it's not like this is the first time you've seen me naked. Or me you.
GABRIELLE
Yeah, but this is different than just doing stuff like taking a bath together.
XENA
Sure, but there's nothing for you to feel embarrassed about. If anything I take it as a compliment that you clearly like what you see.
(Teasing tone) Unless you'd rather I keep my clothes on.
Gabrielle smiled as Xena's lighthearted comment made her forget her embarrassment, and Xena stood to finish getting undressed before moving to kneel over the young woman. She kissed her as she lowered her body to cover Gabrielle's, feeling the other woman's arms wrap around her as she positioned her center against the woman beneath her, and the warrior began to slowly rock her hips back and forth. Gabrielle let out a soft sigh as she felt Xena's sex pressing against hers. She looked up into the raven-haired woman's eyes and couldn't see anything but love as Xena gently moved against her.
GABRIELLE
I love you, Xena
The dark-haired woman smiled softly as continued to grind her femininity against Gabrielle's, and after a few minutes heard the woman beneath her begin to breathe a little harder as she moaned.
GABRIELLE
(Quiet moan) Oh, Xena.
The warrior kept the slow pace for a bit, letting Gabrielle enjoy a gentle and gradual build to orgasm. The blonde tightened her grip around Xena as she began to feel something building deep within her.
GABRIELLE
(Panting) Xena, I...
XENA
(Panting) It's okay Gabrielle. Just let it come.
Knowing the blonde woman was nearing her climax, Xena forged on, driving against Gabrielle a little faster. The increased momentum propelling the warrior toward her own release. The bard clung tightly to the woman above her. The warm, tingling sensation continued to grow stronger within her depths, and she let out a series of blissful cries until Xena's movements finally sent her over the edge and Gabrielle felt her nether region begin to quiver and a warmth flooded through her depths as she came. Her own orgasm on the horizon, Xena continued to thrust herself against Gabrielle as the other woman's rapturous cries pushed her even closer to the edge of ecstasy. The raven-haired woman raised up from laying on top of Gabrielle as she ground herself harder against the blonde's heated core, feeling the good deal of wetness that had gathered there from the both of them as she could sense her climax just moments away.
XENA
Yes. Yes, oh f...
Xena surged forward one more time as her words were abruptly interrupted by a loud, primal sounding moan that was caused by the warrior beginning to feel her sex pulse and spasm as a euphoric sensation surged through her depths and her orgasmic high overtook her. Gabrielle watched as the dark-haired woman threw her head back and she rode out the remainder of the rapturous climax as her previously rhythmic movements changed to erratic, short thrusts as Xena bucked against Gabrielle several more times. Enjoying the lingering, gratifying aftershocks that vibrated through her core, before lowering herself down to lay over the woman under her as she began trying to catch her breath, and felt the exhilarating sensation between her legs beginning to subside.
GABRIELLE
That was wonderful, Xena.
The warrior raised her head and smiled as she brushed a bit of hair from Gabrielle's face and kissed her.
XENA
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
The raven-haired woman slid to Gabrielle's side and put her arms around the woman, pulling her into a loving embrace as the blonde laid her head on her shoulder. The pair then laid there together contently for a few moments before Gabrielle broke the silence.
GABRIELLE
Xena?
XENA
Yeah?
GABRIELLE
I was just wondering.
XENA
'Bout what?
GABRIELLE
Well, I was wondering if you could do something.
XENA
That depends.
Xena idly traced her fingertips along the other woman's arm and shoulder as she continued.
XENA
(Joking tone) If it involves me leaving this bed right now, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Gabrielle chuckled a little as she laid her arm over Xena's midsection and tilted her head to look at the other woman.
GABRIELLE
Don't worry, I don't want you to go anywhere.
XENA
Well in that case ask away.
GABRIELLE
Well I...
The blonde paused, realizing she was unsure of how to word what she wanted to ask. Watching the woman beside her, Xena could see the conflict on Gabrielle's face and rolled to her side to face the younger woman.
XENA
Gabrielle if something's on your mind, you know you can tell me, right? After everything that's happened with both of us nearly losing each other, and then finally getting out of our own way to tell each other how we truly felt, I was hoping that would be the end of us keeping things from one another.
Gabrielle turned her head to look at the woman beside her.
GABRIELLE
I know.
The young woman returned her gaze to the ceiling, feeling too embarrassed to look at Xena as she continued.
GABRIELLE
I just don't really know how to put it.
Xena chuckled, causing the blonde to return her attention to the woman laying beside her.
XENA
Gabrielle, I've seen you come up with things on spot while trying to talk your way out of a situation or to get something you want. Along with the way you can spin a story when you write like no one else I've seen. So you'll have to excuse me if I find it a little hard to believe that you, of all people, can't find the right words to say something.
GABRIELLE
Yeah but...
Gabrielle paused again as she lowered her eyes and Xena could see the younger woman's face turning slightly pink which caused the raven-haired woman to realize what Gabrielle's question was likely about.
XENA
(Soft tone) Gabrielle, look at me.
Hearing the tenderness in the warrior's voice, Gabrielle raised her gaze to meet the other woman's as she felt Xena's hand taking hers.
XENA
You don't ever need to be embarrassed or nervous to ask me anything. No matter what it might be about.
Xena smiled as she continued.
XENA
And besides I sincerely doubt you of all people could say anything that would surprise me when it comes to anything that happens between the sheets...
(Thinking out loud) Or other places.
Gabrielle couldn't help but smile and shake her head at the last bit the warrior said, as it seemed to do the trick in helping to ease her apprehension.
GABRIELLE
Okay.
XENA
Good.
The raven-haired woman brought Gabrielle's hand to her lips and lightly pressed her lips to it before continuing.
XENA
So what did you wanna ask?
GABRIELLE
Well I was wondering if maybe you could, or rather what it would feel like to have you in...
Despite her reassurance, Xena could tell that it would take some time before Gabrielle felt completely comfortable with voicing what she wanted when it came to sex. Something that the warrior honestly found somewhat adorable about the young woman. As it was a stark contrast compared to the usual bold and vocal approach Gabrielle took toward everything else, Xena had seen the younger woman face. And so, having a good guess as to what Gabrielle was trying to ask, Xena felt for the blonde and took the initiative in finishing Gabrielle's sentence.
XENA
You want me inside you.
Actually hearing her desire vocalized, Gabrielle felt her face get hot. Which gave Xena the answer to her question without the young woman even saying a word as Xena smirked, finding it impossible to stop herself from lovingly teasing the blonde.
XENA
(Teasing tone) What's that Gabrielle? I couldn't hear you.
GABRIELLE
Come on Xena, you know.
XENA
(Teasing tone) Do I?
The dark-haired warrior brought her lips close to Gabrielle's ear and whispered into it seductively.
XENA
(Seductive tone) Tell me, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle gasped softly as she felt Xena's hand move down between her legs, and begin to lightly rub her fingers along her folds.
XENA
(Seductive tone) What do you want me to do?
The blonde shuddered in anticipation as she felt a renewed yearning quickly awaken within her core, but still couldn't quite bring herself to say what she wanted or what she knew Xena was waiting to hear.
GABRIELLE
(Wanting tone) I...
XENA
(Seductive tone) That's it, just say the words and your wish is my command.
The warrior continued to gently stroke a single finger along Gabrielle's womanhood, as the younger woman's desire soon became too much and she pushed her embarrassment aside, and gave the other woman a pleading expression as she let the words fall from her lips.
GABRIELLE
(Wanting tone) Please, Xena. I want... I wanna feel you inside me.
The dark-haired woman smiled as she brushed her lips against Gabrielle's ear.
XENA
(Sensual Whisper) See, that wasn't so difficult. Was it?
Xena paused stroking Gabrielle's center and moved her mouth to kiss the blonde before continuing to speak.
XENA
All you ever have to do is simply ask for anything, Gabrielle. And it's yours. Whatever it is.
A smile crossed Gabrielle's lips as she realized the reasoning for the warrior pushing her on what seemed like such a trivial thing.
GABRIELLE
I got it.
XENA
Good to hear.
Xena resumed lightly teasing her finger along Gabrielle's womanhood for a little longer before finding the woman's clit and began moving small circles on the sensitive little nub. The action immediately getting the exact reaction Xena wanted, as she got a rousing moan from Gabrielle in response.
XENA
(Seductive tone) You like that?
GABRIELLE
(Breathing deeply) Yes. Oh, Xena.
Gabrielle grabbed at the blanket under her as the warrior smiled, continuing to rub against the bard's little bundle of nerves for a little longer, before switching to using her thumb as she moved her fingers lower toward the young woman's entrance.
XENA
Are you ready?
Gabrielle nodded.
XENA
Alright. Just try to relax and focus on what I'm doing here.
The raven-haired woman pressed down a little firmer on Gabrielle's clit, causing an erotic groan to leave the younger woman's lips, before Xena continued speaking.
XENA
It might hurt a little, but I promise I'll be as gentle as I can.
GABRIELLE
I trust you, Xena.
Xena captured Gabrielle's lips with hers as she continued moving her thumb, before pulling her face back slightly. She then slowly guided a single finger into the blonde's opening, careful not to go too far just yet, as she heard Gabrielle let out a pleasing sigh. The warrior then began to slowly glide her finger back and forth, as she heard the bard whisper her name. After a little bit, Xena gradually began to press into the blonde's warmth just a little faster as she gently introduced a second finger into Gabrielle, who arched her shoulders slightly at the thrilling feeling of having more of Xena inside her.
GABRIELLE
(Quiet blissful tone) Oh, gods.
Xena carried on, now deliberately weaving two of her digits in and out of Gabrielle's sex, as the woman relished the sensation of the warrior touching her so intimately. Keeping a slow moving pace, the dark-haired woman continuously burrowed into the bard while simultaneously maintaining her onslaught of the blonde's clit, who could feel herself already beginning to build once again toward a second orgasm as she brought her arms up to wrap around Xena's neck and held tightly to the woman.
GABRIELLE
(Breathing heavily) Xena.
After another couple moments of hearing Gabrielle's intensifying cries of passion, Xena slowly began to press her fingers just slightly further into the young woman's depths with every thrust of her hand, until she reached Gabrielle's barrier and stilled her probing fingers while continuing to stroke the bard's clit. Gabrielle mewed as she enjoyed the sensation of her nub being stimulated while feeling Xena inside of her. The dark-haired woman continued just sweeping her digit over Gabrielle's most sensitive spot for another moment before looking into Gabrielle's eyes.
XENA
Remember, just relax.
Gabrielle didn't get to respond as she let out a loud gasp when she felt Xena's fingers swiftly enter her fully as they pushed past the barrier of the young woman's virginity.
GABRIELLE
Xena!
Gabrielle clung as tightly as she could to the raven-haired warrior, who did her best to soothe the younger woman.
XENA
(Soft tone) Shhh, I know. It's okay.
The warrior continued rubbing the woman's clit while keeping her other hand still for the time being, giving Gabrielle some time to adjust to the intrusion as she kissed the blonde's forehead.
XENA
(Soft tone) The pain will begin to subside soon.
Continuing to thumb Gabrielle's little nub, Xena could feel the blonde's body becoming less tense and begin to acclimate to having the warrior's fingers so deep inside her. The dark-haired warrior carried on like that for a little longer and smiled softly when she heard the other woman begin to make satisfying sighs, telling Xena that Gabrielle was beginning to become at least a little more comfortable.
XENA
That's it. Just focus on that sensation you feel building.
Gabrielle moaned as she felt Xena's thumb continue to stroke her bundle of nerves, as the woman's expert touch pushed the bard closer toward release.
GABRIELLE
(Breathing deeply) Oh, Yes. Oh.
Taking note of the lustful sounds the bard had begun to make, Xena maintained her work on the woman's sensitive little bud and slowly began to retract the fingers that had been resting nestled inside Gabrielle's cavern until just the warrior's fingertips remained in contact with the sensitive flesh, before easing them back into the bard's opening. Gabrielle gasped, feeling the raven-haired woman beginning to pump her fingers in and out of her as Xena slowly repeated the motion again and then again, pressing deep into the young woman.
GABRIELLE
(Breathing heavily) Xena.
The combination of Xena's fingers moving within her along with the attention the warrior was giving to Gabrielle's clit, was propelling the bard ever closer to release. This was made clear by the exhilarating cries Xena heard coming from the bard as the warrior's fingers forged on in their task, burrowing in and out of the young woman. This continued for another minute or so before Gabrielle felt the same warmth she'd felt not long before beginning to build within her core once again as she moaned Xena's name, urging the woman to continue what she was doing. The dark-haired woman smiled as she not only continued, but began rubbing Gabrielle's clit more vigorously while her penetrating fingers also moved a bit quicker. Xena maintained the new faster movements before only seconds later, Gabrielle's eyes squeezed shut and her back arched slightly off the bed as she clutched the blanket under her tightly when she felt her depths begin to vibrate and she let out a euphoric yell as she was taken over the edge of ecstasy and came. Causing her body tensed up for several moments as the orgasmic waves rolled over her as Xena could feel Gabrielle's core spasm and constrict around her fingers. The dark-haired woman then moved her hand once more before ceasing in her thrusting and stilled her penetrating fingers inside the woman while continuing to run her thumb over the blonde's over stimulated bud for another couple of moments, coaxing Gabrielle's climax on a little longer, who shuddered at the continuous high and groaned at the touch.,until Xena saw the blonde beginning to settle and finally brought her last moving digit to a stop as she used her other hand to brush away the few blonde locks that had fallen over Gabrielle's face and smiled softly.
XENA
(Soft tone) You alright?
Gabrielle nodded as her breathing slowly began to return to normal. The dark-haired woman brought her lips down to meet with the bard's and the two shared several tender kisses, before Xena pulled her mouth away to rest her forehead against the other woman's, as she gently removed her hand from inside the bard, who made a small sigh as she felt the warrior slip out of her.
GABRIELLE
I love you, Xena.
XENA
And I love you.
The warrior smiled as she kissed Gabrielle once more before sitting up to grab a light blanket that sat at the foot of the bed and pulled it over her and Gabrielle's naked bodies as she laid back down next to the other woman. Gabrielle then moved closer to Xena and quickly found herself gathered in the woman's arms and smiled contently, as she laid her head on Xena's chest. Listening to the woman's heartbeat as the two shared a bit of idle conversation before Gabrielle felt her eyelids soon becoming heavy and Xena placed a soft kiss on the blonde's head as she fell asleep in the warrior's arms. And as the room fell silent and both Xena and Gabrielle were soon sleeping soundly in one another's embrace, it was already clear that the two shared a deep and powerful bond. A bond that while neither would ever be able to express through words, the journeys that they would face together both near and far ahead would more than prove that the two had been destined to be together.
