The following is a bit of alternative fiction based on certain characters from the Xenaverse. It is not meant to infringe on anyone else's rights. If you don't agree or disapprove, please go read something else.
Xex Alert: Arete and Kalai have a little time on their hands. If it were you and you were in love, wouldn't you take advantage of it? Yeah, I thought so. Of course, you don't have to read this if you don't want to. You can move onto the next chapter instead and you won't lose anything along the way.
It was nice to have some real time alone, really alone. Arete began to appreciate why the Gabrielle and Xena took to the road so often. She and Kalai made their way silently along the path, enjoying the quiet and each other's company. The mares nickered a little, holding their own conversation, but the humans held their peace.
They smiled a lot at each other. Their casual glances would turn to full out grins for no particular reason. Sometimes they would touch, riding close together. One time Kalai's hand rested on the strong woman's thigh. Another time they lightly held hands. Yet another time they leaned in for a slow kiss that stole their breath away.
Ephiny told them before they even started on their journeys as the acting envoys that there was no need to rush, so they didn't. This made for a pleasant experience so far. They looked forward to Anipe expecting it to be a less heated adventure than Skula had been.
Kalai looked over at her blonde giant, who was looking at something in the forest. It was the profile that got her. Arete's sleek muscular form rolled with the pace of the horse in a smooth tempo that had the providential effect of reminding the small brown eyed Amazon of their last wanton encounter. She blushed. Then she felt the burn of desire slide its way down her spine into her gut.
Kalai's tongue unconsciously escaped the prison of her lips and her nostrils flared a little. Arete turned around to tell her small lover something and was caught in a gaze so provocative that she halted her horse. Her lush voice questioned, "Kalai? Now?" Kalai's head did a half shake of acknowledgement. She didn't trust her voice. The blonde Amazon looked around for someplace a little less traveled and spotted a likely spot. "There?"
The young Amazon looked in the direction Arete pointed and found it acceptable. She grinned wickedly and nodded, this time quite emphatically. The Amazons slid off of their horses and made their way carefully to the chosen location. As soon as the horses were secured the blonde woman found herself being pulled into a wildly lustful embrace. She found herself grinning and kissing at the same time. Her mouth making wet sounds as it combined with Kalai's in intimate contact.
Their hands were all over each other, sliding past hindering leather and cloth. In their frantic abandon they never quite divested themselves fully of their dress, but rather touched and probed despite the coverings on their bodies. Not that there was much. Kalai's simple halter was undone quickly, leaving her breasts free for Arete's roaming mouth. The blonde Amazon's kilt was easily hiked up to her waist for Kalai's seeking hand. The Amazons moaned with arousal as bodies pressed, touched and slid against each other.
In no time at all their bodies were undulating in an intimate delight so joyful that it seemed as if ground practically swayed in erotic rhythm with them. If they had been listening real close they might have even heard the grass laughing with delight, but their attention was otherwise occupied. After they crested in exquisite release not far from each others, they rested for a moment appreciating the gentle summer breeze that blew softly on their skin.
In time they gathered themselves together, helping each other adjust their clothing to that which was more presentable. Before getting back on her horse, Kalai was kissed thoroughly by a very loving Arete. Then, after making sure the land appeared as it had when they arrived, they continued serenely on their way.
Xena wasn't sure what to think. She felt a small nibble of panic begin somewhere in her belly and tamped down on it harshly. Her mind went over her conversation with Iovene and all she could think of was what if. Dark visions of possibles invaded the part of her that harbored the memories of what it was like to be the warlord and combined in such a way that she felt like she was walking in a waking nightmare. She decided that she needed something to clear her head, to remove the self doubt that was beginning to creep up her spine. She decided to work out.
The Queen found the warrior princess, who had pushed herself to a full grim sweat. Gabrielle recognized it as Xena's method of clearing, having seen it before, and watched in quiet awe as the warrior finished up her practice. Xena's thoughts had finally found a serious peace in the rhythm of her movements, but it had taken awhile. Still, she managed a smile when she acknowledged the presence of her lover (she'd felt the bard come in, but had been in the middle of a full swing kicking aerial somersault. . .not a good time to lose one's concentration) and she strode with purpose into the strawberry blonde's waiting arms.
Xena gazed into concerned hazel eyes and spoke before the question could be asked. "I'm fine." Gabrielle gave her a doubtful look which caused the warrior to complete the discussion with a firm nod of the head and a stated, "Really." Gabrielle wrapped one arm around the warrior's waist and squeezed. She knew she wasn't going to get anymore out of her lover today, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try tomorrow. She smiled up into blue eyes. Then she stroked a loving hand across a sweaty brow. She wriggled her eyebrows.
"I know what you need," the bard turned Amazon Queen said provocatively.
Xena raised her eyebrows and she felt a real smile touch her lips. "Oh?" she questioned.
Gabrielle nodded firmly, "Yes." Her voice oozed sensuousness.
Now Xena lips were turned up in a full grin, "And what is that?"
Gabrielle's face turned serious and she spoke sincerely, though her eyes lit up in humor, "A bath." Then she giggled at her tease and quickly unwrapped her arm from her lover's waist and laughingly ducked out the nearby door. Xena paused for just a second giving the bard a tiny head start, then she started chasing after the woman she loved.
