Watching the melting sun slowly collide into the emerald landscape made Xena feel secure at the forests edge. She turned just slightly to scan Gabrielle's body, as she lay motionless on top of heavy blankets. The forest was thick and poured over the two of them like a heavy cloak protecting. As the sunlight diminished and rolled over the mountains Xena began to gather wood to build a fire for the night. Gabrielle was beautiful she thought. Watching her every breath, seeing her eyes roll under her creamy satin lids, made Xena think about what it would be like to touch her. As the fire began to take its course in giving them both light and warmth, Xena laid down across from her.The fire that seperated thier bodies made it safe for Xena to touch every curve with her thoughts, her mind. Such loyalty Gabrielle had for Xena made her think about the love she had for her. Was it safe to have such thoughts about her friend? She wondered. Gabrielle began to stir as the cool breeze began to lurk its way into thier hidden camp. Xena watched as Gabrielle's breasts rose and fell. Such perfect rythm. Her lips pierced due to the chill, alarmed Xena that Gabrielle needed warmth. She gathered the other blankets and stood next to Gabrielle's form. Her skin was puckered and she had a slight shake. She was exhausted from the journey. Xena knelt down next to her and silently draped the heavy tapestry over her small form. "Thankyou Xena", Gabrielle whispered without opening her eyes, "I feel so cold tonight." "You were cold", Xena said without further ado. She bagan to rise just as Gabrielle reached for Xena's arm. "Aren't you cold? Come and lay down", she said innocently. " I will in a bit. I want to make sure the fire stays burning. I have alot to think about, you go ahead and sleep." Such simplistic answers. She had the opportunity to lay beside her and she backed off. To inhale her scent, to feel her body close, to feel warmth, but she didn't. They had laid many times before in many places. But this time was different. For Xena anyaway. As the night turned into a infinite blackness, and the clouds blocked the sparkling stars, Xena's eyes grew heavy with exhaustion. She glanced over at Gabrielle, so perfect in so many ways. With absence of sound Xena stood and moved towards the bed made of blankets on leaves and grass. She knelt next to Gabrielle and slid in next to her. At first there was enough space between them to allow Xena to feel guiltless for the desires of lust, but that soon changed. Xena laid there, still, closed eyes, listening to Gabrielle's breath. Gabrielle felt Xena's presence. She turned and leaned over Xena moving the blankets over her, pressing her breasts on top of hers. Xena took in a deep breath. "Are you ok Xena?" Gabrielle asked softly. "I am fine." Gabrielle laid close to Xena, her breasts lay against Xena's side. Gabrielle's arm drooped over her waste,and without hesitation she seductively moved one leg over Xena's, and then silence fell upon them both. Gabrielle's hand, so tiny, began to move over Xena's neck. Touching softly, delicatly. Xena, frightened almost, turned over on her side. She wanted Gabrielle to believe she was asleep, and let this night pass. But Gabrielle didn't stop there. Almost gracefully, she began to undo Xena's corset of metal and leather. She pulled at Xena and guided her to her back. Xena's breath became heavy. Such a strong woman became unconsciously submissive to a simple touch of passion. "Xena, I want to be near you. I want to touch you." Gabrielle had not much more to say. Xena said nothing. Gabrielle began by taking Xena's breast in her tiny hand, caressing and fondling. As she took one of the carmel mounds of flesh in her mouth, Gabrielle locked her eyes with Xena's not letting a moment pass unseen. Swirling her tounge across her nipple Xena sighed. Gabriell took the erect nipple and bit down just enough to awaken Xena's senses. Xena took Gabrielle's face in her large hands and looked at her. Studying her every line, every small detail of her small rose colored mouth. This made Xena want to ravage her in one movement. Xena kissed her and took in her taste. They embrassed. Xena's sex began to fill melliflously with a rich honey long passed due. Gabrielle slowly moved over Xena's full body and laid upon her. Rubbing her sex against Xena's made Xena feel heat. Gabrielle ran her hands along the length of her arms and down to her belly, so smooth and soft.Thier nipples touching in passing. Gabrielle sitting up, smiled as she gently played with Xena's small patch of fur. Moving slower, Gabrielle slid down under the heavy maroon swirls of tapestry and laid between Xena's muscular thighs. Delicately Gabriel placed her small fingertips at the top of each side of Xena's slit and opened it exposing the glissening sweet honey pouring from with in. Gabrielle moved her mouth just close enough to breath on the erect little pearl making Xena move her hips passivly to feel the climb. No words were spoken between them only the sounds of wanting and yurning. Slipping her tounge in, Gabrielle began flicking the little clit with hunger. Pulling back the skin that protects the jewel, Gabrielle moved in closer, savoring each stroke of her well manored tounge. Xena moved in a rythm pulling and tugging at Gabrielle's hair, crying out sounds of pleasure. Just then.... "Xena....Xena....wake up we have to keep moving. Xena!" Gabrielle had everything packed and was ready to move on. "What? " Xena paused. She had been dreaming. " You fell asleep fast last night Xena. You seem to be exhausted, the sun has been up for a while now. Are you ready?" Gabrielle just stood there puzzled at the disoriented look on her face. "Why did you let me sleep so long?" Xena jumped to her feet, realizing she was indeed fully dressed, and began gathering up the blankets. "Lets go, we don't have time to waste." Xena thought about the details of her dream, and it made her wet to think about how Gabrielle had done such things to her in a dreamland far away. " I hope you were'nt too cold last night Xena", Gabrielle said with a smile.
