“I know how lucky we are, how lucky I am to
have such a woman as you. Xena you make my life worth living, I
love everything about you. The love that you have for me, the love
that I have for you I know is true, strong and pure.” He said
and he couldn’t say anything else since Xena rose up and
kissed him deeply and passionately. Ulysses moaned and when the
kiss ended they were both somewhat breathless,
“if…” Xena said then let out a breath. “If
I weren’t already married to you I’d expect you to be
proposing to me,” she said with a grin and Ulysses smiled at
her as he placed his hand on her cheek looking deep into her eyes.
“Will you, Xena of Amphipolis, marry me? Be my
wife?”

 

 

He said and she grinned as she leaned in,
“umm…I’d like that,” she said and he smiled
then moaned as he kissed her softly. When the kiss ended she
caressed his cheek as she looked into his eyes, “I will be
your Queen standing by your side in good times and bad. Being there
when you need me to,” she said as she began to lean in.
“You always are,” he whispered to her before they
kissed and when the kiss ended Ulysses looked into Xena eyes as she
looked into his. “And without a doubt and without question I
will be the mother of your children. I will bear your child,”
she said and Ulysses looked into her eyes seeing a desire in them
that had nothing to do with the connection they had. “I
swear,” she said as they leaned in and Ulysses nodded,
“I know,” he said then kissed her. “Ummm,”
Xena moaned as she wrapped her arm around Ulysses’ shoulder
and he moaned as he pulled her closer.

 

 

The boat owner smiled at them as he continued to
stroll down the Nile. When the kiss ended they didn’t break
their embrace as they continued to look into each others eyes.
“I love you,” Ulysses said and Xena nodded as she
leaned in and brushed her lips across his. “Tease,”
Ulysses said and Xena grinned as they kissed and the kiss they
shared was soft, passionate and unhurried. They kissed for a while
then decided to watch the scenery while they shared soft caresses
and little kisses here and there while they talked about any and
everything. Xena had rolled the picture back up wanting to keep in
it perfect condition and she placed it next to the flowers Ulysses
bought her. “You know Cadell is from Greece,” Xena said
and Ulysses nodded, “really? What’s he doing
here?”
