Yes this is Uber

Subtext: Absolutely, and very blatant.

Xena stood along side the boat railing, dressed casually in shorts and a ribbed tank top, enjoying the warm breeze and unable to keep from smiling. She watched as Gabrielle seemed to be having a blast with rest of the slightly tipsy passengers on the cruise. She was charming them with her bright green eyes and amusing tales. Damn! She is so beautiful! She felt desire stirring. Ever since she had met the short woman, it seemed she couldn't get enough of her. That green summer dress she was wearing showed off her tight body in the most alluring ways. Heh. An evil twinkle appeared in the blue eyes. And the dresses' non-existant length was driving her up the wall. Boy, what she wouldn’t do to slowly lick her way up those legs and....

She sighed deeply and turned outwards to look at the black sea, taking in the salty air. This cruise getaway was perfect idea after the horrors they had been through. Her lover was free at last from her weird husband. Unfortunely, but understandably, Gabrielle had been terribly depressed after that whole ordeal. She never knew what her husband had been into, but she wanted to believe that he had felt something for her in the end and it was just anger that had pushed him. But, Gabrielle had been worth the danger and more. She didn't want to spend a life alone hiding from a past life and evil deeds.

Her musings were interrupted when she felt a warm hand on her back.

They shared a quiet moment, just basking in each other’s presence, enjoying the feeling of the other's warmth.

"Pretty how the stars look like they fall right into the water, huh?"

"It’s nothing compared to the beauty that stands by me, and chooses to love me." A soft whisper was heard.

Gabrielle looked up at her tall companion, until blue eyes turned her way. "You know, Xena, for a gardener, you sure say the sweetest things." She whispered. She casually lifted up a hand to brush away a strand of hair that a soft summer breeze had lazily lifted.

After a long loving moment, the blond suddenly belted. "Hey!" Gabrielle quickly looked around the boat. "Come on. Let’s do a Titanic thing. Look."

Xena looked towards where her partner was pointing.

"The area is empty, there’s no one around."

Xena merely shook her head and laughed as Gabrielle pulled her hand.

Gabrielle left go of the strong hand and ran the rest of the way, sure that Xena was following. She leaned against the railing , looked out into the ocean and spread her arms wide. "Oh Xena, this feels wonderful. It really does feel like you’re flying!" She shouted. The words gently falling on the cresting waters below.

The blonde tilted her head back, relishing the wind rushing over her body. Slowly she became aware of an intense heat behind her. Xena, her mind whispered. She trembled as she felt soft fingertips slowly slide up her outstretched arms. She gasped at the strong sensations that subtle caress caused. She tingled everywhere. A loud moan escaped. Goosebumps erupted unawares, drowned by the ecstasy that was consuming her. A mere touch, and she was already throbbing. *Oh god, I have to get her inside.* The sheer eroticism of the moment was incredible.

"Xena, let’s go inside, please." She moaned as she started turning around. But strong arms stopped her. Her body was so on fire, she couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Then, she felt that incredible touch move to her breasts. "Xena, someone is going to see us!" she gasped, even as she encouraged the hand to rub her breast harder.

"So?" was whispered in an ear as her fingers pulled, pinched, and rolled the nipple she could feel. Xena ached at the knowledge of how smooth the skin was underneath the dress.

Gabrielle cried out softly. The thought of people knowing watching... uh! She felt herself getting wetter.

"Hmm, you like that, huh?" Xena slowly moved her right hand down the soft silkiness of the green dress. "Do you think they are watching us now?" She reached the edge of the short dress and slid her hand underneath. "Do you think someone is wondering what my hand is touching?" She moved her hand barely over cloth knowing the barest of touches was enough to start the woman in her arms.

Xena felt a small hand tangle in her hair and pull her forward. There is nothing on heaven or earth that can compare to this, she thought as her lips met sweet lips. Xena relished it all. The constant moaning, the whimpers, the rapid breathing. She kissed Gabrielle hard, letting her passion for the small woman loose, letting go. She used her left hand to crush the blonde towards her, her lips, her body. Suddenly, desperately, unable to get enough. She would never get enough.

She tangled her hand through the blonde strands and turned her head as she entered her lover, wanting to hear the first animal grunt of pleasure directly in her ear. She shuddered as the warm breath hit her by force. Her Gabrielle made the sweetest sounds. Xena slipped underneath the cloth and entered her love. She started to move in and out.

"Do you think anyone is wondering why my hand is moving back and forth. Do you like that? Huh? Do you think they are wishing they could be my hand? To feel how good you feel?" Xena's voice came out in pants. "How soft and uuummm, how wet you are?" She emphasized the ‘t’ and increased her pace. "Come for me baby. Don’t let your audience down."

That was all Gabrielle could stand to hear. She felt the hand in her hair tighten as she came and she gave out one final loud moan.

Slowly, she came back to her sense. "Xena?" she said in a timid voice.

"Yeah, sweetheart."

"I really hope no one was watching." She felt the rumble of a chuckle.

"Only the stars, Gabrielle, only the stars.
