“Courtesans, whores, working girls, it all
means the same, we sleep with men and women for money,” she
said then picked up her cup and took a sip of its contents.
“Still, it probably won’t work out between them, no one
is willing to do some of the things we did with Ulysses,” Sam
said and from that moment on Xena had to know what they were
talking about, so she went over to their table. “Excuse
me,” she said and they looked at her, “you looking for
a good time sweetheart?” One of the women asked and Xena
shook her head, “far from it,” she said then looked at
all of them. “My name is Xena,” she said and that was
enough to say because it seemed that in the couple of days she was
here, her name has spread like wild fire through the kingdom of
Ithaca. “Well, well, this is Ulysses’ little
woman,” Angel said and Xena raised an eyebrow at that,
“little, I think not,” Xena said and Angel looked at
her.

 

 

“Have a seat,” she said and Xena sat
down at the table, “I over heard you speaking, when I was
over there,” Xena said and Angel hunched her shoulders as she
took a sip of her drink. “So,” she said, “so, I
want to know those things you think no other woman would do with
Ulysses,” Xena said and Angel grinned at her as she sat
forward. “He hasn’t let you in to that part of himself
yet,” Angel said with a grin, “don’t take offense
to it, men often show sides to us that they’re afraid to show
to their wives.” Angel said and Xena looked around for a
minute before she looked at Angel with determination in her eyes
and Angel chuckled at her. “You don’t have the guts to
do some of the things we did,” Angel said, “let me
determine that,” Xena said and Angel looked at her.
“You’ve got guts, I’ll tell you that,” she
said then let out a breath.

 

 

“You’re Ulysses’ woman so when
you’ve been with him, he’s been gentle with you, making
love to you and never really taking you beyond the bedroom, or
places where you knew you had privacy.” Angel said and Xena
listened to her, “so what?” Xena asked, “so, men
like Ulysses like adventure in that department,” Demi said.
“Can you go up to Ulysses and have the nerve to start
something with him in a place you know you could get caught?”
Angel asked, “can you bare yourself to him and let him see
into your soul, let him claim it and do what he will?” Angel
asked and Xena looked around and Angel grabbed her chin so that
they were looking eye to eye. “Can you let him fuck you?
There’s a difference you know, between making love and
fucking,” Angel said then released Xena’s chin as she
continued to look into her eyes.
