They landed and Gabrielle whooped with delight.
“Xena that was amazing!”
Xena smiled in the grip of a stifling hug. “Glad you enjoyed it.”
“Again?”
“Maybe later, huh?”
Xena took the helmet off and put it back in its bag, and turned to see Gabrielle watching her with a smile. Xena held out her hand.
“C’mere.”
Gabrielle took Xena’s hand. “This has been the best birthday.”
Xena pulled her close. “It’s not over yet.”
They kissed long and deep. Slowly, like they had all the time in the world. Xena pushed gently with her tongue and Gabrielle responded with a moan, kissing Xena harder and more passionately until she shuddered, breaking their kiss with a gasp. She laid her head on Xena’s shoulder.
“How do you do that?” she whispered, breathing hard. “You just kiss me, and you do that.”
Xena responded with more kisses, brushing her lips down Gabrielle’s cheek to her neck.
They removed each other’s clothes and sank down onto the bedroll, hands exploring warm naked skin as they kissed again. Xena pushed her knee up between Gabrielle’s legs, feeling wet heat against her thigh.
“Already?” she whispered with a smile.
“It’s you,” Gabrielle breathed. “You do this to me.”
Xena pushed hard against her, looking down into her eyes. “Have you been thinking about that little virgin all day?”
Gabrielle laughed softly. “She had me thinking about you.”
Xena kissed her hard, lightly biting her neck and sucking the soft skin.
“Touch me,” Gabrielle breathed.
“Not yet.”
“Please.”
“Not yet.”
Xena continued kissing Gabrielle’s neck, and Gabrielle sighed.
“Now?”
“No.”
Gabrielle groaned, gripping Xena’s shoulders, enjoying the soft lips and warm tongue that tasted her skin. Then she tugged at Xena’s hair, pulling her up and kissing her again.
“Now.”
“You’re so demanding,” breathed Xena with a smile.
Xena kissed her deeply, sliding a hand between Gabrielle’s legs, gasping at the heat she found there and the wet fire that coated her fingers. She looked down into Gabrielle’s eyes as she slid one finger gently into her, touching her deep inside.
Gabrielle closed her eyes, lips parted, with an expression of pure, absolute pleasure.
“Oh that look on your face,” Xena whispered. “I live for that.”
She withdrew, her fingertips teasing slowly, then faster, and Gabrielle moaned as Xena’s tongue made its leisurely way down to her breasts, exploring a path taken so many times before. Xena felt fingers clench in her hair and kissed Gabrielle again, long and hard, and didn’t stop. Xena could feel Gabrielle’s breathing getting faster, shallower, and her fingers moved in time with it. Faster, until Gabrielle’s body stiffened and shuddered again and she moaned into Xena’s mouth. She held Xena tightly, fingers digging into her back.
Xena gently stroked and kissed her face as she lay there panting, unable to speak, until she relaxed and responded to Xena’s kisses with her own.
Gabrielle sighed as Xena kissed the hollow of her throat, tongue moving lightly down her body. Gabrielle arched her back and Xena continued, down over the soft skin that covered the tight muscles of her stomach, down further, soft pubic hair tickling her lips as Gabrielle’s sweet scent met her nose.
“Yes…please….” Gabrielle whispered, tangling her fingers in Xena’s hair.
Xena paused, breathing her in. Then she licked gently, moaning at the sweetness she found and the way it made Gabrielle gasp. And again, enjoying the way Gabrielle’s thighs tensed with each stroke of her tongue. When she could hold back no longer she grasped Gabrielle’s hips and plunged in.
Gabrielle tried to control it but it was no use. Xena’s mouth and tongue were relentless and Gabrielle took deep, shuddering breaths. She stared up at the sky, suddenly well aware of being high on a clifftop with the stars close enough to touch, thousands of them piercing the sky like the rising heat that prickled her skin.
Gabrielle’s gasps turned to soft cries. She clenched her fists in Xena’s hair, her body tense, arching her back as she let out a loud cry that started deep in her stomach.
She slumped back onto the ground, panting. Xena calmed her with a gentle kiss, savouring the coolness of her mouth after the heat between her legs.
Gabrielle reached up and took Xena’s face in her hands, and grinned. “Okay,” she breathed. “Your turn.”
Xena moved to lie beside her.
“No.”
Xena froze, as if suspended in the air, and smiled. Gabrielle’s fingertips began moving over Xena’s skin, as if mapping every curve and valley of her body. Xena breathed deeply, her skin on fire at the slightest touch.
“Don’t move,” said Gabrielle softly.
Gabrielle could see the moon in Xena’s eyes and the expression on her face. Gabrielle smiled as she slid one hand down, and her fingers easily found their way inside Xena’s body.
Xena shuddered slightly and gasped, and Gabrielle held her there.
“You get more beautiful every time,” she whispered.
Xena moaned, unable to stop her hips from responding to Gabrielle’s fingers, even as her own hands caressed Gabrielle’s breasts. She let out a soft cry and pushed down hard.
“Stop.”
Gabrielle’s voice was firm and Xena froze again, breathing in short gasps, barely controlled. Her eyes begged for mercy as she dared to bend down and kiss Gabrielle’s lips.
Gabrielle smiled. “Now.”
Xena slumped forward and Gabrielle guided her down onto the blanket, as she slowly withdrew her fingers and raised them to her lips.
“It’s like honey,” she breathed. “Only better.”
Gabrielle’s fingers resumed exploring, and her tongue followed the lines traced by her fingertips. She smiled at the soft sounds that told her how close Xena was to the edge. She continued, touching and tasting, ever closer to that incredible place between Xena’s thighs. Xena groaned and slid her fingers into Gabrielle’s hair, wanting to guide her.
Gabrielle’s tongue found its own way, and she sighed at the scent and taste she found. Xena’s hips and hands told her where she needed to be. She wanted all of Xena, to consume her, to drink from her and be part of her.
But Xena was close, and soon it would be over, and Gabrielle was not ready to let that happen yet.
She stopped, quickly making her way up Xena’s body to kiss her mouth deeply before a plea could escape her lips.
Xena cried out softly as Gabrielle’s fingers entered her again, stroking her, coaxing and lifting her higher. She held Gabrielle tightly, breaking off their kiss with a cry as the wave hit her.
Gabrielle smiled, fingers still working Xena’s body. “I love it when you lose it,” she breathed. “I love you.”
Xena cried out again as a second wave hit, more powerful than the first, and there was nothing but that incredible feeling and the arms that held her, before Gabrielle’s gentle touch and soft whispers brought her slowly back to earth.
Gabrielle kissed her tenderly, and Xena opened her eyes. Even in the moonlight, that smile lit up her world.
Gabrielle pulled a blanket over them both and they lay there, perfectly entwined, and happily exhausted.
“No one loves me the way you do,” said Gabrielle softly.
Xena gave her a gentle squeeze. “Same here.”
“Is there anything better than this?”
“No,” Xena replied with total certainty. “Not at all.”
