Author's note: This is not a first time story.
I think there are enough first time stories out there. My favourite
X/G first time story is Heaven Down Here by Rebecca Hall
(a.k.a. Storm), and thus I'd rather keep it that way in my own
subtextual canon (this story here can also somehow be seen as a
potential sequel to my favourite first time story, by the way).
Also, I believe that Xena and Gabrielle can still be intimately
passionate with each other after their first time.

**************************************************
For me, our friendship binds us closer than blood ever
could.
The words of the warrior woman still echoed inside the bard's
mind. The extent of the emotional message those words attempted to
convey had reached deep inside of Gabrielle's heart. She felt she
was sharing such a profound and very intimate bond with the woman
who was standing next to her -the woman who, a couple of weeks ago,
had been the first person to make love to her. And she was the very
same woman Gabrielle had had to prevent from going utterly mad and
harming other people today in this village.
Gabrielle followed Xena as they both walked away from Locia -the
villagers feeling utterly peaceful now that the ruthless God of War
had left. Xena held Argo by her harness as she and her sweet little
blonde friend walked beside the horse.
It had been the second time Ares had tried to get Xena back
since she had renounced the warlord lifestyle. His plan had been so
evil and stealthy this time. The way he had taken the shape of her
father angered Xena. That bastard had made her believe that Atrius
had finally come back to search for her -to search for his
daughter. However, no, it had been that insanely cruel God of War
all along who had impersonated her father in an attempt to make her
turn evil again.
As she and the bard walked on further outside the village, Xena
felt a little sad and disappointed by what had happened. Gabrielle
noticed that the beautiful dark-haired woman walking next to her
looked somewhat unhappy.
"Are you all right?" asked Gabrielle.
"Yes, I'm okay, Gabrielle." Xena gave her a reassuring smile.
She pushed her sadness away from her mind -thinking that she and
Gabrielle could always talk about this later on.
Looking at the younger woman, Xena felt grateful that Gabrielle
had so swiftly brought her back to reality -during the moment when
the burning rage that Ares had been inducing in her had threatened
to consume her. The way she could have viciously attacked those
poor villagers felt dangerous. Had Gabrielle not hit her on the
back with that pitchfork, many innocents would have died. Xena
wondered what she would do if she did not have that little bard to
keep her company and to make sure that she did not stray from her
path to redemption.
Both women occasionally looked at each other and smiled as they
started walking towards a green forest that was just outside Locia.
This apparently was a shortcut to where Xena was leading Gabrielle
and Argo.
As they entered the woods, Xena picked up her pace. She strode
for a few seconds but then quickly noticed that Gabrielle was
lagging behind. Xena briefly stopped walking and turned around to
glance at the trailing bard.
"Come on, Gabrielle. Hurry up! I want both of us to find a nice
place on the other side, before nightfall." Xena smiled at
Gabrielle while giving her an impatient look. The warrior princess
resumed her walk.
"Okay, okay, Xena, I'm coming." Gabrielle rushed to Xena and
walked faster until she caught up with her. The bard took the
warrior princess' hand into hers. Noticing the nice move, Xena held
Gabrielle's hand tightly into hers, pleasantly squeezing it, as
both women and Argo quickened their pace through the
woods.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
On the other side of the forest was a beautiful valley with
grassland, bushes and trees. Both women were glad to see the
pleasant landscape ahead as they exited the woods. It was still
daylight. This sublime place felt peaceful. There was a little
stream nearby. Xena led Argo to the side of a tree where she
thought the mare could settle for the night that was to come. Then
the warrior princess found a comfortable patch for her and
Gabrielle to sleep on. She pointed it out to the
bard.
"There we'll be comfy, Gabrielle. Can you please come prepare
our bedroll for tonight?" Xena winked and went to gather some wood
for a fire as dusk was getting near.
"Sure." Gabrielle smiled as she went to unload the saddlebags
from Argo and then walked to the comfortable patch to prepare the
bedroll for the night. She carefully unrolled blankets and made
them lie flat onto the ground. She then sat on the newly spread
bedroll, waiting for Xena to come back with the
firewood.
Xena came back a few moments later, carrying a little heap of
wood. She dropped it to the ground in front of Gabrielle, who was
sitting on the bedroll looking at her. The bard was beaming at the
sight of Xena before her and her little green eyes shone with
happiness.
Crouched near the firewood, the warrior princess stared back at
Gabrielle with her silvery blue eyes. She smiled back and then
crawled towards her bard. Getting close to Gabrielle, Xena knelt on
the bedroll -just next to where the blonde woman was
sitting.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The dark-haired woman
smiled down at the bard.
"Because you are so beautiful, my warrior," Gabrielle replied,
reaching up to grab the back of the taller woman's neck -trying to
pull her down for a soft kiss. Xena immediately reacted. She
wrapped her arms around Gabrielle's back and leaned down to press
her lips onto the bard's. Gabrielle quickly responded to Xena's
embrace and wrapped her arms around the warrior woman's neck while
being kissed by her. They both parted their lips. Their tongues
entwined in slow, sensuous motions. They shared a sweet, deep and
tender kiss. When it ended, Xena looked at the shorter
woman.
"And you're very gorgeous too, my bard," said Xena, grinning.
She proceeded to make a fire for Gabrielle and her so they could
keep warm in the night. Meanwhile, Gabrielle got something out from
one of the saddlebags: some food that the villagers had kindly
offered to her and Xena for their dinner tonight.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
By the time both women had finished their meal, night had
fallen. Xena and Gabrielle were sitting next to each other on a
rock that was near the fire. The warrior was sharpening her sword
while the bard was eating an apple and some grapes she was having
for dessert.
After she finished consuming the fruits, Gabrielle noticed that
Xena was looking sad again -like the way she had earlier on today
-right after they had left Locia.
"Xena, what's wrong?" The bard looked at her with concern. Xena
stopped whetting the blade and turned her head to the side to look
at Gabrielle.
"Nothing, Gabrielle…" Xena sighed. "It's just that I
really thought it was my father who was with us today. I initially
didn't believe it but then…" Xena shrugged as she looked at
Gabrielle with gloomy eyes.
Still holding the whetstone and the hilt of her sword in each of
her palms, the warrior brought her hands down beside her thighs,
against the rock she was sitting on. Gabrielle's hand quickly and
tenderly covered Xena's as the warrior was still clenching her
sharpening stone.
"Oh, Xena, I'm so sorry." The bard gave an empathising look to
the warrior, wanting to comfort her.
Xena let go of the objects she was holding and put them down
onto the ground near the rock. She sat back up next to Gabrielle,
gazed into her partner's eyes and squeezed her hand into hers. She
talked again.
"It's all right, Gabrielle. I just missed my father more than
I'd ever dared to think I would." Xena exhaled. "It's just that at
one point when he and I were talking to each other today, I would
have never thought it would turn out to be Ares, tricking me and
trying to get me back." She sighed again.
"I know, it's such a shame, Xena." Gabrielle softly rubbed the
warrior's shoulder with one hand while still holding Xena's hand in
the other.
The bard said nothing for a minute or so. She glanced in the
direction of the fire while thinking more deeply about what Xena
had just said about the God of War. Feeling curious, she looked
back towards her older companion.
"Xena, can I ask you a question about Ares?" she carefully
inquired.
"Sure," Xena replied.
"Did you really use to…" Gabrielle hesitated. "… be
with him?"
Xena felt a bit annoyed that Gabrielle was asking her this
question but she felt that, since she loved her young female friend
and she had already slept with her, she could tell her the truth
about things like these when the bard was asking her to. She
stopped holding Gabrielle's hand for a moment and turned to look at
the fire in front of them.
"Yes, Gabrielle, I used to be with him for a short time. That
was before I'd met Hercules. Ares got me my chakram when he used to
be my mentor and. . . lover," Xena managed to say. She turned her
head back towards her friend and both women's eyes met
again.
"And how do you feel about him now, Xena?" Gabrielle's hand
searched back for Xena's. The warrior caught the bard's hand back
into her own.
"Not much, Gabrielle. Ares seduced me with his godly powers. He
fuelled my dark side during a time when I'd nearly forgotten what
it was like to feel anything other than pride in violence. He made
me uncontrollable and murderous. And now that I've decided to go on
a quest to redeem myself, he tries to get me to become his warrior
queen, to get me to revert back into darkness. I have no love for
him at all. He disgusts me now!" Xena felt bitter at the thought of
Ares beating her up today. She quickly shook her head and dispelled
the irritating feeling. She squeezed the younger woman's hand
harder.
"I believe you, Xena." Gabrielle gave her a sweet little grin,
wanting to cheer the warrior princess up. "Can I ask you another
question?"
"Yeeeees?" Xena retorted, smiling and feigning annoyance.
"Anything you want," she then replied, more relaxed now. While
looking at this precious little woman who made her heart melt, she
briefly kissed the back of the bard's hand she had been holding.
Gabrielle chuckled.
"Was Ares a…" The blonde woman hesitated.
"Was Ares what? What are you trying to say, Gabrielle? Was he
what?" The brunette wondered.
"… A better lover than I am?" The young woman felt
embarrassed asking this but she really wanted to know. She feared
she might lack experience when comparing herself to the warrior's
ex-lovers.
"Oh, Gabrielle!" Xena's jaw dropped in disbelief. She so much
wanted to get that wrong thought out of her gorgeous little
friend's mind. "Of course not!" She stared right into Gabrielle's
eyes, lifted the bard's chin and gently stroked her cheek with the
back of her fingers. "Gabrielle… I have never slept with
anyone that mattered as much in my heart as you do now. . ." Xena
paused, then realised: "Oh, Gabrielle, I know you're asking me this
because you must be worried about being sort of 'inexperienced', is
that right?"
"Huh. . . that's sort of the way I feel, I guess." The blonde
woman felt sheepish.
"Gabrielle, I can assure you that I did notice that you seem to
be learning quite well, if you get my drift?" Xena grinned. "When
we slept together, I could already feel the intense passion you're
able to show to a lover." Xena kept smiling, looking deeply into
the bard's eyes. "You are my best intimate partner ever, so please
stop feeling so insecure. Experience is something you easily
acquire with time, okay?"
"Well, I know I've got a great teacher, that's for sure."
Gabrielle smiled back at the warrior and sighed in relief, before
being pulled forward by Xena into a hug. The two women held each
other tightly into a close embrace for a while. As they ended the
hug they briefly kissed on the lips while still holding each
other's arms.
"I'm so glad you're here with me, Gabrielle, preventing me from
being trapped in the dark part of myself again. I'm very thankful
for that." Xena beamed at Gabrielle.
"So you're not too mad at me about the pitchfork earlier on?"
Gabrielle asked, and then saw Xena shake her head.
"No, Gabrielle, not at all." The warrior gave the bard an honest
look. "You had to stop me from harming all those innocent people.
Why would I be mad?" With a smile in the corner of her mouth, her
silvery blue eyes peered into Gabrielle's green
ones.
"Yeah, I know what you mean, Xena," Gabrielle admitted, feeling
completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the woman beside her.
"All right then, Gabrielle." Xena briefly squeezed the younger
woman's hands and then stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me." She
took off her breastplate and tossed it to the ground. "I need to go
skinny-dip."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Xena took her leather bodice off and walked towards the nearby
stream. Gabrielle went to sit on the bedroll while she lovingly
watched her dear friend. Xena removed the rest of her clothes while
approaching the water's edge.
"Are you going to join me?" The charming fighter briefly turned
to look at where Gabrielle was now sitting. The dark-haired woman
then got into the lake. The water was good. She started swimming
leisurely.
"I will. Soon, Xena," Gabrielle answered and stayed by the
campfire. She kept observing Xena from where she was sitting.
Moonlight was very bright out there. Thanks to the clear sky, the
full moon above and the light from the campfire that gleamed over
the water, Gabrielle was able to observe the beautiful naked
warrior princess as she was peacefully indulging in a midnight
swim. The bard found her incredibly sexy.
Gabrielle watched as Xena fleetingly immersed herself in the
stream. Then the bard felt very aroused when she saw the warrior's
ample breasts bob up and down on her glistening body as the soaked
woman quickly moved back up above water. Xena resumed her peaceful
swim. The sight of the tall woman's broad shoulders and
magnificently toned arms and thighs felt so delicious to
Gabrielle's eyes.
The bard was now deeply thinking about the first time she and
Xena had made love together. It had happened a couple of weeks ago
-not too long after Gabrielle had come back from Potidaea.
Gabrielle had been missing Xena and she had come back to her.
Sometime after that, the bard had finally been able to tell the
warrior princess that she was now feeling something intense for her
-something that meant much more than simple 'hero worship' to her.
Gabrielle had also managed to convince Xena that she was old enough
to know what she wanted, what she desired. She had been glad to
find out that the warrior was also very much attracted to her.
Gabrielle had easily figured out that Xena had not only slept with
men during her past but the warrior princess had also had many
female sexual partners before she had met Gabrielle, which Xena
confirmed to her.
Reminiscing at the loving memories of the intimate activities
she shared with the warrior during their first time together,
Gabrielle remembered how wonderfully skilled the woman who took her
virginity had been. Xena had not wanted to take her virginity at
first. The warrior had seemed happy enough just caressing her and
tasting her; but upon Gabrielle's earnest request and profound
desire to be deeply touched inside by the woman she loved, Xena had
then gently pushed her skilful fingers inside the bard while
whispering affectionately pleasing words in the young woman's ear.
Gabrielle's first time had therefore been almost painless. It had
actually felt exquisitely pleasurable to her, having that
stunningly pretty warrior woman make love to her in a way she had
totally been fantasising about.
"So what are you waiting for, Gabrielle? Join me, please. I need
you here," from the lake, Xena loudly urged Gabrielle with a
yearning smile. She woke the bard up from her sweet
reverie.
"Okay, I'm coming, Xena." Gabrielle grinned at her naked friend
in the stream ahead and stood up to remove her clothes.
Gabrielle's top, skirt, boots and undergarment all quickly got
tossed aside. The nude bard swiftly took a bar of soap out of a
saddlebag. She then walked towards the lake. She got into the water
and rushed towards Xena until she stood in front of the warrior, in
the water. Its surface reached them both at the height of their
waists.
Gabrielle wrapped her arms around the taller woman's neck. Xena
placed her hands onto the sides of Gabrielle's waist and leaned
down to kiss her. The bard kissed back passionately and, a moment
later, they both gently ended the kiss.
"Look what I brought." Gabrielle said, showing Xena the soap bar
she was holding.
"Very good," Xena slowly uttered while smiling. "Will you rub me
with this now?"
Gabrielle smiled back. She wet the soap bar and rubbed it along
Xena's neck and across the warrior's shoulders and chest. The
dark-haired woman trembled at the blonde's luscious touch. The bard
then washed the warrior's sublime breasts, toned belly and arms.
She also plunged the soap into the water to put it between the
other woman's legs and tenderly cleaned Xena's centre. The warrior
woman lightly moaned at the intimate rubbing while letting herself
be touched.
"Turn around now." Gabrielle kindly ordered.
Xena complied by turning her back to Gabrielle. The bard washed
her friend's hair and then gently pushed it to the side of the
woman's neck. She lathered the soap onto the warrior's back in slow
and sensual strokes. Xena was enjoying every precious moment of her
cleansing by this beautiful young woman. Gabrielle also moved the
soap underwater and rubbed the other woman's rear.
"My turn now." Xena turned around and delicately took the soap
from the bard's hand.
"Okay." Gabrielle briefly dipped herself underwater to get
herself ready for the intimate wash. "Wash me now, Xena." She
closed her eyes in sensuous anticipation.
With both a strong, yet sensitive touch, Xena lovingly cleaned
every inch of Gabrielle's skin, rejoicing at the softness of the
bard's body. She rubbed the soap bar around each of the younger
woman's lovely breasts in unhurried movements, curving it around
the nipples. Gabrielle shivered in excitement at the sensation of
letting herself be so skilfully touched by this gorgeous older
woman. She bit her lower lip as she felt Xena stroke her tummy with
the soap and then glide the bar underwater to rub her heated
centre. Gabrielle took pleasure in the glorious delight found in
every minute of Xena cleaning her so intimately.
"Now you turn around." Xena said, kissing the bard on the cheek.
Gabrielle opened her eyes, twirled and offered her back to Xena.
The warrior princess cleaned the bard's hair, moved it to the side
and leisurely massaged the blonde's back for a long while, noticing
muscles relaxing under her every caress. She then ran the soap
underwater along the shorter-woman's shapely backside.
Once the wash was over, both women submerged into the stream, to
rinse the soap off from their bodies and hair. They each had one
arm around the other's shoulder as they walked out of the lake
-water dripping from their soaked and naked bodies.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The two women had put on some nightclothes after quickly drying
their bodies by the fire. Gabrielle had a white shift on and Xena a
grey one. That was all they were wearing, no undergarment. Their
hairs were still partially soaked, as they sat by the fire. Sitting
behind Xena on the bedroll, Gabrielle was brushing the warrior
princess' hair in a sweet and careful manner.
"Xena?" the bard softly asked while working on the other woman's
hair.
"Yes, Gabrielle," Xena replied.
"When you said earlier on that our friendship bound us closer
than blood, I thought it was pretty nice," said Gabrielle, feeling
happy, "but I'm curious to know: what exactly did you mean by
that?" The young woman carried on untangling the knots in Xena's
hair with care.
"I meant that to me you are my best friend and my family."
Xena's voice was emotionally intense. "I also meant that, although
the two of us are friends, we also share a lot more feelings and
things together than most friends do. And now we've even slept
together. I also feel that we're so connected to each other, you
and I, that you're closer to me than any family in blood." Xena
shifted her sitting position to turn around and gaze into
Gabrielle's eyes. "I think I love you," Xena admitted, "even though
I've done so many terrible things in my life that I still don't
think I deserve you, Gabrielle." The warrior looked dismal
again.
Gabrielle put the hairbrush down. The cheerless expression on
the warrior's face made the older woman look so cutely vulnerable
to the bard. Xena leaned down and Gabrielle hugged her. She gently
cradled the older woman's head onto her shoulder.
"Shhhh, Xena, please don't say things like that. That's not
true," Gabrielle reassured. "I love you so much," the younger woman
said. Xena carefully broke the hug to see the passion that shone
from the bard's eyes. She caught Gabrielle's hands and held them
tightly.
"Gabrielle, I love you too, so much. It's just that. . ." Xena
hesitated. "It's just that sometimes I feel like I'm tearing up
inside. I love you so much it hurts, and I want to be with you all
the time." The warrior princess continued explaining: "When I was a
warlord, I used to put such a great deal of restraint on myself to
keep me from feeling anything for anyone other than myself that I'm
afraid I might have forgotten how to love. That's also for this
reason that I don't think I deserve you. You are such a good and
honest woman. And I used to be this ruthless monster." Xena gasped.
She loved being with this beautiful younger woman but always
thought that, if there were to be someone out there better for
Gabrielle, she would willingly let the bard leave her for that
person, for the greater good, as she seriously did not feel she
deserved such a good little woman.
"Xena," Gabrielle sighed, while both women were staring at one
another clutching each other's hands, "It doesn't matter now. What
is done is done. It's all in the past now. Now I love you and
desire you, and I trust the fact that you are becoming a much
better human being now. Your past doesn't scare me." Gabrielle gave
her an earnest look. "You are now wanting to do good, Xena, and I
have faith in you. I sincerely do. So please stop trying to take my
choice to be with you and sleep with you away from me. I fully
consented to sleeping with you, Xena. I desired you and I wanted
you to be my first, I'm sure about that. It is also my choice to
carry on being with you."
"If it is your choice, Gabrielle, then I wouldn't take it away
from you, never." Xena kept admiring her bard for the trust the
young woman had in her. "I love you too much." The warrior princess
softly kissed Gabrielle's forehead and then their eyes met
again.
"Good." Gabrielle smirked. "Now will you brush my hair, warrior
princess?"
"Sure." Xena started smiling. She took the hairbrush and went to
sit behind Gabrielle. She began to delicately untangle the bard's
strawberry blonde hair, which was already half dry by now. The
warrior put tender loving care in the task of brushing her
beautiful younger friend's hair. Gabrielle felt
happy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Half a candlemark later, the women's hairs were almost dry
thanks to the heat of the fire. Both friends shared a little bit of
wine, which they drank from a goatskin that the villagers had given
to them. Xena felt tired.
"Okay, Gabrielle." The warrior put the wineskin away. "Time for
a good sleep now."
Xena lied down on the bedroll, keeping her eyes open for the
time being. Gabrielle immediately went to lie down next to her.
Propped onto one elbow, the bard placed her other arm on Xena's
belly while looking at her friend's face. The warrior woman looked
back and wrapped her arms around the blonde woman's shoulders to
bring her closer to her.
Feeling the affectionate move, Gabrielle brought her lips to
Xena's. The warrior princess was responsive. She opened her mouth
to press her tongue against the bard's lips, attempting to kiss the
young woman more deeply. Gabrielle enthusiastically parted her lips
and took Xena's tongue into her mouth, quickly mingling it with her
own. The kiss became more intense, fiery, lingering and passionate
as both women held each other tightly on the bedroll. A moment
later, feeling a burning sensation between her legs, Gabrielle
carefully broke the kiss to look into Xena's eyes.
"Xena, please… I want us to make love again, right now."
There was a strongly desirous tone in Gabrielle's voice and a
lustful expression on her face. Xena thought that she did not feel
so tired after all. She sat up. Gabrielle did the same. The warrior
woman then placed her hands onto the sides of the other woman's
shoulders while their gazes met.
"Are you sure, Gabrielle?" Xena inquired.
"Yes. Absolutely sure, Xena." Gabrielle was sincere about her
desire for Xena. She so often felt deeply sexually turned on by the
sublime fighter who meant so much in her heart.
Xena felt equally attracted to the stunningly wonderful young
woman whose burgeoning beauty developed as fast as the inner power
that emanated from the bard to make the warrior's heart soften like
fluff.
The blonde woman took the older woman's hand and kissed its
fingertips. Gabrielle's lips felt like glossy petals to Xena. The
warrior princess tried to caress the satin-like skin of the bard's
face but the blonde woman held her hand firmly into hers.
The young woman brought Xena's hand down towards the bottom hem
of her shift. Understanding the communicative gesture, Xena caught
the garment and helped Gabrielle remove the thin white dress. The
warrior then revelled in the sight of the bard's wonderfully
blossomed naked body before her.
Xena rapidly took off her own shift too. She then lovingly
kissed Gabrielle, softly grasped the smooth skin of the bard's
shoulders and carefully moved the younger woman onto the bedroll.
The warrior woman felt her heart melt at the thought of the
unbelievable trust this young woman had in her. It took Xena a
great deal of strength to keep herself from being rough, like the
way she had been with other lovers in the past. Thankfully, the
intense love she felt for Gabrielle helped her keep herself under
control. She wanted to fulfil all of Gabrielle's sexual wishes
while carefully behaving like the bard really wanted her to in the
bedroll.
Gabrielle now lay onto her back with Xena's body on top of her
as the warrior princess was continuing to give her a deep, searing
kiss on the mouth while they both held each other tightly. She felt
such an incredibly intense emotional link to this taller woman she
loved, and all she could think about right now was the deeply
intimate affection the warrior was giving her. She felt the
fighter's wet centre press against her thigh as Xena moved her
mouth down to leave a trail of moist, blazing kisses onto her
neck.
"Hmmm. . . Xena. . ." Gabrielle started moaning in
pleasure.
Xena kissed her way down to the top of the bard's chest. She
gripped one of Gabrielle's breasts into her hand and began to
squeeze it firmly but gently for a little while. She then tickled
the nipple with two fingertips, making her young friend utter
another sexually charged sound.
Xena held the bard's breast again and took it into her mouth,
tickling the hardened nipple with her tongue. She kept sucking onto
this mound and was rewarded by another cry of gratification
escaping from Gabrielle's mouth. With her free hand, she tightly
grasped the other breast and tenderly brushed its nipple with her
thumb until it went stiff.
"Oh, Xena… yes!" Gabrielle felt a wave of ecstasy and
bliss sweep over her. The way the splendid warrior woman was taking
care of her sensitive breasts electrified her. She felt Xena move
her mouth to her other breast and take it between her lips, first
sucking its nipple then the whole breast. "Hmmm, Xena, it feels so
good. . ." Gabrielle cried out and quivered in
satisfaction.
Once Xena finished suckling the bard's adorable breasts, she
kissed her way down the younger woman's tummy and started licking
around the belly button, eventually dipping her tongue into the
navel.
"Hmmm… Xena. Oh, please, carry on!" Gabrielle ran her
fingers through Xena's hair as she felt the warrior princess glide
her mouth towards her heated centre. She bent her knees and spread
her legs wider, offering herself to Xena.
Xena absolutely loved pleasuring Gabrielle like this. She first
kissed the lovely blonde curls of the bard's triangle. She then
used her thumbs to part Gabrielle's outer lips and sank her tongue
inside the tasty wet cleft.
"Oh gods, yes, Xena!" Gabrielle felt an utter bliss rush through
her body as Xena licked her way along every fold of her sex. She
felt the warrior woman's tongue slide into her wet opening while
Xena's fingers began rubbing her clit in circular motions.
"Hmmm… Oh, yes! Xena, you are so skilled… Hmmm…"
Gabrielle moaned at the intense pleasure her girlfriend was giving
her. She started thrusting her hips rhythmically towards the other
woman's tongue as it pleasurably stroked back and forth inside of
her.
Xena then firmly moved her tongue along the bard's labia and
pressed it against the engorged bundle of nerves at the top. The
warrior's tongue exquisitely slid around Gabrielle's clit, making
circular, leisurely movements, while she totally savoured the
sweet, luscious and honeydewed taste and smell of her little
friend's sex.
"Oh, gods, Xena, please… Don't stop!" Gabrielle loudly
uttered a couple of times while caressing Xena's hair. Hearing
this, the warrior princess thought that there was no way she was
going to end this so soon. Xena placed her mouth around Gabrielle's
hardened nub and began sucking on it -sometimes alternating with
teasing pushes from her tongue.
After the bard had felt the warrior princess vigorously sucking
and licking her swollen clit for a long while, she suddenly grabbed
Xena's hair and arched her back off the blanket beneath her and a
rapturous guttural cry tore from her throat.
Xena hungrily licked away at all of Gabrielle's precious
dripping nectar, slowly running her tongue up and down the bard's
glistening folds. She kissed her friend's beautiful sex and climbed
her way back up Gabrielle's body.
"You taste so good, Gabrielle," Xena softly whispered into
Gabrielle's ear. The warrior utterly enjoyed getting a good taste
of her bard yet again. Xena kissed the younger woman's mouth.
Gabrielle enjoyed feeling the taste of her own passion onto her
experienced lover's lips. The kiss deepened and their tongues
sensually intertwined.
When they ended the kiss, Gabrielle squirmed beneath Xena. She
was not in pain at all, but simply wanted to be able to sit up.
Noticing this, the warrior woman moved her weight away from the
blonde woman's body.
Gabrielle sat up, quickly grabbed Xena by the shoulders and used
all her might to flip the warrior onto her back. Xena sank into the
blanket. Gabrielle straddled the dark-haired woman's stomach and
leaned down to kiss her neck affectionately. The warrior princess
placed her hands onto the bard's back; Xena always loved the feel
of Gabrielle's silky skin.
"I wanna taste you too, Xena. Hmmm…" Gabrielle said while
kissing her way down to Xena's collar bone. The young woman felt a
fierce, smouldering desire inside of her. All she could think about
right now was touching and savouring again the perfectly toned body
of the woman she loved.
"Yes, Gabrielle. Do whatever you want." Xena surrendered to the
bard's touch. Deep down, Xena still did not feel she deserved
Gabrielle, but she felt completely powerless in dealing with the
bard's sexual demands. She loved that little woman so much that she
felt like giving her everything she wanted. She utterly enjoyed
satisfying Gabrielle's every want.
Gabrielle slowly moved her way down Xena's body, enveloped her
hands around the warrior princess' ample breasts and rejoiced in
the delightful way these felt between her fingers and palms. The
bard took as much as she could of one of the breasts into her mouth
to suckle its nipple, which swiftly went hard under her
ministrations. She then eagerly pushed more of the breast into her
mouth while caressing the nipple of the other breast with her
fingertips.
"Gods, Gabrielle. . . This is too good!" Xena gasped, thrilled
by the strength of Gabrielle's ability to please her. She felt
Gabrielle slip her tongue towards her other breast and flick it
across its nipple before sucking the mound into her mouth as far as
she could.
"Oh, yes!" The warrior's hands suddenly left Gabrielle's back
and clutched violently at the blanket underneath. Xena clenched her
teeth, enjoying every moment of this.
After finishing relishing in Xena's magnificent breasts,
Gabrielle moved her way down the warrior woman's body. She gently
nibbled at the smooth skin of Xena's stomach, near the belly
button, and then heartily placed her head between the taller
woman's legs. The bard kissed the dark curls and then eagerly slid
her tongue into the centre of the warrior princess'
pleasure.
"Gabrie-e-e-e-elle!" Xena screeched. "Gods, please, more!" Xena
put her hands on the back of Gabrielle's head and firmly stroked
the bard's hair.
Gabrielle licked her way into Xena's delicious wet slit and
pushed her warm tongue inside the warrior's entrance, pleasingly
moving it in and out of her. She heard Xena scream her name in
pleasure again. Savouring the warrior woman's appetising scent and
exotic taste, she gave firm licks to Xena's inner folds while
softly fondling the warrior's hard clit with her fingertips. The
bard then glided her tongue towards the sensitive bundle of nerves.
Gabrielle flicked her tongue across Xena's nub and happily sucked
on it for a moment.
"Gods, Gabrie-e-e-e-elle!" Xena felt the joy of being so
lovingly pleasured by the beautiful young woman she loved as she
strongly but carefully held strands of Gabrielle's hair into her
curled, clenched hands. She tossed her head backwards, feeling
completely exhilarated to be intimately pleased by her bard.
Gabrielle did not have as much experience as Xena, but the bard
noticed that she was learning fast -judging from the warrior's
pleasure. She licked Xena's remaining juices, kissed the dark patch
of hair and crawled back up the warrior's body.
"Hmm. . . this felt so good," said Gabrielle before kissing
Xena. Like she had the first time, the bard loved doing such
explorations of the warrior's body. Xena kissed her own taste onto
Gabrielle's lips. The warrior princess then gently rolled the bard
over onto her back.
Xena gave the bard another deep, eager kiss before propping
herself onto one elbow as she now lay down next to her. She noticed
that Gabrielle was quietly gazing at her. She peered back into the
bard's eyes for a while as she leisurely caressed the smoothness of
Gabrielle's chest and belly. Gods she loved this woman. Xena could
not deny the glaring emotional attachment she shared with this
young bard. The passionate love flame that had been kindled inside
her heart not too long after she had met Gabrielle now burned
stronger than ever. After this long reflective moment, the warrior
climbed to straddle the bard's thigh.
Gabrielle felt Xena's warm wetness against her skin. She moved
her thigh upwards as much as she could under the warrior's weight
and heard a low, guttural cry coming from the other woman's mouth
as she was pressing against the warrior's centre.
Xena brought a hand down to the delightful warmth between
Gabrielle's legs and began to fondle the bard's sex, tenderly but
firmly.
"Oh, gods, Xena, yes!" Gabrielle felt extremely aroused. She
shivered in absolute excitement when she felt the warrior woman
delicately massaging her swollen clit and the area around it. She
felt she could not take this for much longer. All she wanted right
now was her beloved friend to make love to her deeply. "Xena,
hmmm… Please… Take me now!" she ordered while lifting
her hips a little and looking up into the experienced woman's eyes.
She then felt Xena swiftly bring her fingers downwards, near her
wet cavity.
"You really want this, huh, my bard?" Xena asked as she
teasingly positioned two fingers just outside Gabrielle's wet
entrance and ran them in stroking circles around it for a moment
while smiling down at the bard.
"Xena, please! Oh, yes… my warrior, please!" Gabrielle
begged, with an intensely amorous tone. Trying to relieve the ache
between her legs, she desperately attempted to thrust herself up
towards Xena's fingers, but could not.
Xena could not resist. She had to please her bard the way the
young woman wanted her to. She immediately inserted the two fingers
deep inside Gabrielle's coral opening. She revelled in the bard's
lovely inner textures which she felt clench around her digits. Xena
kept straddling Gabrielle's leg, grinding her sex against it
joyfully in forward and backward movements while she moved her
fingers back and forth inside the young woman and felt the bard's
liquid fire wet her digits.
"Oh, gods… Xena, yes! Hmmm… more please!" Gabrielle
urged, placing her hands on the toned skin of Xena's back. She then
felt the warrior push a third finger inside of her while tenderly
rubbing her clit with the thumb. "Oh… sweet…
gods… Harder, please, Xena!" the bard loudly screamed. She
felt utterly thrilled and arched her body upward, threw her head
back and lifted her leg against Xena's soaked folds.
"Gods, Gabrielle!" Xena cried out in bliss at the intense
friction. The warrior princess' fingers picked up some pace inside
the bard as she thrust those three digits harder and deeper into
the younger woman's soaking wet centre. Xena also pushed her thumb
further onto Gabrielle's sensitive clit.
"Gods, yes! Xena! Keep going," Gabrielle cried out as she
grabbed onto Xena's back more tightly. Xena saw the blonde woman's
face glow with happiness at the way the warrior deeply touched
her.
Gabrielle realised she was going to come soon. She looked more
deeply into the eyes of the woman making love to her,as she gripped
more strongly onto the skin of Xena's back -trying to bring more of
this beautiful warrior woman into her. She felt so good. Xena's
hand was usually very rough while handling a sword in battle, but
it could bring a touch that was so skilfully strong, swift and
careful at the same time when it came to pleasuring her. Although
Xena was now driving her fingers harder inside her, it had happened
following Gabrielle's readiness and willingness for her to do so
and it all perfectly matched the bard's inner sexual
tempo.
With final deep thrusts of her fingers inside Gabrielle and
pleasing strokes from her thumb on the bard's engorged nub, Xena
brought her friend over the edge.
"Xeeeenaaa!" As Gabrielle climaxed she closed her eyes and
fiercely tossed her head backwards. Her body went rigid and she
sank into the bedroll, feeling the rapturous aftershocks from the
multiple blissful waves of intense pleasure the warrior princess
had just given her.
Xena came not long after that, screaming Gabrielle's name, as
she kept strongly moving up and down against the bard's thigh.
After the orgasm, she fell limp onto the blonde woman. Xena removed
her fingers from Gabrielle and hungrily sucked them
clean.
The warrior princess moved her weight away from the bard's
thigh, went to lie next to her and kissed the side of her younger
lover's face. They were both covered in sweat, and the heat from
the fire made them both feel even clammier.
Xena shifted and now lay on her back. Gabrielle instantly moved
to snuggle up to her best friend and put her head onto the
warrior's chest, briefly kissing her breasts before resting there.
Xena wrapped her arms around Gabrielle and cuddled her closely,
stroking her hair.
"I love you, Xena… You're so wonderful," Gabrielle said,
hugging Xena's waist, and feeling the warrior princess softly
kissing the top of her head.
"No, Gabrielle. You are wonderful! I love you…"
Xena hesitated. She then murmured: "and I still don't believe I
deserve you… I hope that one day you'll find someone who
does. I'm only doing all this for you just now because I love you,
you are so wonderful and I cannot refuse." Xena felt
sad.
"You believe what you wanna believe, Xena," Gabrielle said while
resting herself in her friend's protective arms, "but you are with
me for now, and I'm not gonna let you go that easily… Anyway,
you're right, Xena: our friendship really does feel closer than any
blood bonds…" Gabrielle felt very exhausted and closed her
eyes. She nestled herself closer against Xena and drifted into
sleep.
Xena kissed the bard's hair again, caught a blanket that was
lying on the side of the bedroll and covered their nude bodies with
it. Closing her eyes, she held Gabrielle tightly into her arms,
felt slightly happier now and then fell asleep.
