Xena normally hated parties. Yet, she found she was enjoying herself, much to her surprise. It was probably because Gabrielle was a little tipsy and was drawing her out. Of course, the fact that they were with the amazons and free from immediate danger could also have something to do with it, her mind tried to justify.
"Xena!" Gabrielle whined. "Don't just stand there, dance with me." She finished with a pout while pulling on Xena's hand.
Xena couldn't help but get infected with Gabrielle's happy nature and let herself be dragged out to the dance area. Gabrielle immediately wrapped her arms around her neck and started to move against her. Xena closed her eyes and relished the soft body that was pressed close to her.
Ephiny's voice forced her to open her eyes. "Hey, what's all this mushy stuff going on here? You're disturbing the other amazons. They're losing hope that the 2 most eligible bachelorettes will set their eyes on them tonight. Come on, come one, let's sit down so we can drink and talk about sex or something."
Gabrielle's eyes went wide. "Sex?" she shrieked. "I don't know anything about sex! Xena hasn't taught me anything at all." Again the blond whined.
Xena blushed. "Ephiny, I don't think Gabrielle should drink anymore. She's really not....."
"Stop being a mother hen, Xena. Don't you want me to get acquainted with all of these beautiful ladies?" She swung her arm around and swayed a little. Xena held onto her, stifling a laugh.
Gabrielle grabbed Ephiny and led her towards the ladies she had just mentioned. "Let's go talk about sex and gorgeous women."
Xena stood there, mouth hanging open. 'Beautiful ladies?' 'Sex and women?' Where in Hades had that come from? Gabrielle was definitely in an odd mood tonight, she thought to herself. Shaking her head and grinning, she followed her bard.
When she got to the group of ladies, the conversation was already underway. Gabrielle was listening with rapt attention as she heard Eponin and Solari talk about their sexual experiences. Xena could not get over Gabrielle's behavior tonight. Thinking back though, she had noticed that Gabrielle's eyes now lingered whenever she spotted a pretty lady, eyes traveling over their bodies. However, she hadn't said anything or approached any of them, but still? What had suddenly sparked up her interest in women? Was it really suddenly? Or had she just been too dense to see it before?
Xena stood in the outer circle, barely paying attention to the conversation. Thoughts of Gabrielle's new awareness keeping her momentarily occupied.
As a matter of fact, lately it seemed Gabrielle could barely keep her hands off her. Not that she was complaining, she had just simply enjoyed the intimacy, and gone out of her way to make sure the bard knew. She smiled as she remembered how good those touches had felt last night when Gabrielle had been in a cuddly mood. She had snuggled up to Xena, pressing her body as close as she could and idly running her fingers over the exposed skin of the strong arm she had wrapped around herself. Xena had accepted the loving caresses as well as returned them, savoring the silky soft skin underneath her fingers 'til they both had fallen asleep.
Just then, a fragment of the conversation caught her attention. 'What did Gabrielle just ask?'
"What's your ultimate fantasy?"
The question had come from her Gabrielle!
The conversation was getting too hot. "I'll be right back." She said to no one since they had started talking again about.... well?.... she really didn't want to know.
Xena walked over to refill her cup. She glanced over, musing over how good Gabrielle looked. 'I wonder what her ultimate fantasy is?' Once I would've thought it would've included some local common boy, but now.... now I think 'some local boy' has turned into 'some local girl.' Curiosity was getting the best of her so she snuck up behind Gabrielle.
"....and then there are times when she's just sitting on a log, leaning up against a tree with her legs wide open. And the flames from the fire are making her look so delicious, with orange highlights on her body, ugh!" Gabrielle moaned. "And I can just visualize myself, slowly crawling over to her, opening her legs wider and just digging my face in her...."
"Ahem, uh, Gab?... I think you should stop talking now." Ephiny quickly tried to interrupt, waiving her arms kinda frantically.
Gabrielle didn't have to turn around to know who was standing there. She closed her eyes, wishing she could be anywhere else but there. When she opened her eyes again, she was alone. Well, not completely. She could feel Xena was still behind her.
She felt glued to the spot, she just couldn't turn around and face Xena. I must be really drunk to have let myself go on like this. Gabrielle thought.
She quickly became aware of an intense heat behind her. Then a deep husky voice whispered in her ear.
"Aren't you going to ask me what my fantasy is, Gabrielle?"
Gabrielle shivered as the sensual voice cascaded down her body. In a shaky voice, she asked. "What's...your fantasy, Xena?"
"My fantasy involves a certain bard." Xena moved closer behind and snaked an arm around her waist. "At night, when I'm sitting on a log, and leaning up against a tree... I like to open my legs wide and picture this beautiful woman that I've loved for a very long time, slowly crawl over to me." Xena grabbed one of Gabrielle's hands and brought it back towards her body. Her hand over Gabrielle's, she slowly guided the smaller hand up the inside of her thigh. "I imagine her hand caressing me, just as her face digs into my....."
"Xena, you think we can go somewhere where we can maybe show each other exactly what we mean?"
Xena suddenly picked up the bard and quickly started heading towards their hut.
After a few more steps....
"Xena, do you think we can show each other at the same time?"
Still not saying a word, Xena broke into a run, Gabrielle still safely in her arms.
