He asked and Xena let out a breath as her hands
played with Ulysses’ hands. “He came here to learn more
about art but it turns out they didn’t accept him or his
work. I can’t understand why though, Egypt is a place of
great things it would have been a plus for them to have someone as
great as Cadell.” Xena said and Ulysses nodded, “you
know as well as I do how people treat outsiders. The Egyptians are
famous for their art among other things and it’s possible
that they feel threaten to have an outsider with a talent as good
as theirs.”

 

 

Ulysses said then placed a kiss on Xena’s
shoulder while he ran his fingers up her bare arm. “Yea
people can be so small minded; anyway Cadell has been working to
get enough money to get back to Greece. Unfortunately a trip back
home is very expensive so I told him he could catch a ride back
with us.” Xena said and Ulysses grinned, “I bet he was
ecstatic,” Ulysses said and Xena grinned as she turned her
head and looked at him. “You’re not mad?” She
asked and he grinned at her, “no, why would I be? Besides
Cadell is a very gifted artist, I wouldn’t mind him painting
a few more pictures of you and me.

 

 

A few of mom and dad, Camilla and I’m sure
Virgil and his family as well as some of the other families in the
palace would use his services.” Ulysses said and Xena grinned
as she ran her fingers through his hair, “you know I hear
that the library in Alexandria has an erotica section. We ought to
check that out not that you and I need help in that
department,” he said and Xena continued to laugh in his
chest.

 

 

When her laughter died down she looked at Ulysses,
“ah…what am I going to do with you my love?” Xena
asked and Ulysses smiled down at her, “love me,” he
said and she grinned. “Is that a demand or request my
lord?” Xena asked as she ran her finger over his jaw and he
looked into her eyes, “both,” he said and she grinned
and nodded as they prepared to kiss. “When we’re
finished with the business we have to do,” Ulysses started to
say when the kiss ended and Xena leaned into his neck placing
kisses on his neck with her tongue and sucking softly.
“We’re gonna go back to the room and practice making a
baby so when we’re ready we’ll get it done on the first
try.” He said and Xena smiled as she kissed her way up to his
ear, “you think we need practice?” She asked then
sucked on his earlobe; he closed his eyes and let out a breath as
she sucked on his earlobe then pulled on it.
