“Well no…no not really but it…it
never hurts plus we have so much fun,” he stumbled as Xena
continued to kiss and suck on his ear and neck and Xena grinned and
nodded. “Yes we do have fun and the pleasure is
extreme,” Xena said and her lips were so close to
Ulysses’ lips. He nodded as he looked down at her lips,
“good pleasure and you,” he said in a breathless voice
and Xena grinned then leaned in and kissed him. Ulysses moaned as
he brought his hand up and held Xena’s cheek as he leaned
into her adding more pressure to the kiss.

 

 

Xena could tell he was trying to deepen the kiss
and under normal circumstances she would let him, but she
didn’t want it to go any further than it could especially
when they didn’t have any privacy. So she placed her hands on
his chest keeping him in his position as she pulled back trying to
end the kiss. She smiled as he stretched his neck trying to keep
their lips connected. “Sorry my love but we have things to do
and it would be distracting us,” she said and he let out a
breath and looked around. “I see your point besides
we’re almost back to where we started,” he said and she
grinned at him. “I promise later on you’ll have me all
to yourself,” she said and he grinned at her then ran his
eyes over her body. “I don’t doubt that,” he said
and she grinned at him and when he winked she smiled.

 

 

Five minutes later the boat pulled into the small
dock and Ulysses got out of the boat then helped Xena out. They
thanked the man for the ride giving him a tip which he was very
grateful for. They made their way back to the palace where Xena ran
inside and placed her flowers and picture on the bed before she
went back out. When she was out the palace the horses had been
brought out and Ulysses was on his. He looked at Xena as she got on
hers, “we’re good to go?” He asked and Xena
nodded and they galloped away heading to where they went the day
before. They left their horses in the same place and took the same
tiring trail back up the mountain then climbing the cliff. When
they got there they stayed hidden and looked around but
didn’t really see anyone beyond the guards.
