She blinked it was a pet name and the first time Xena had spoken one, it was a charming pet name though that rolled off the older woman’s tongue like silk. She nodded breathing in deeply finally catching her breath as her whole body began to truly relax. She took in another deep breath embracing the moment. Xena breathed in deeply despite that she had fumbled at first as she tried to find Gabrielle’s rhythm once she gained a grasp of it, it had been so much easier. Admittedly it didn’t help that she’d had to keep her broken leg in one position and not move it. She’d found herself ignoring it though as she’d listened sounds that the younger woman made deeply enjoying them.

She moved her fingers gently kissing Gabrielle’s lips again seeing that the other woman was still looking in to her eyes, she smiled. “So the great bard of Potidaea has nothing to say?” It was more of a tease she watched as a wide smiled formed on Gabrielle’s lips who hands were still on both sides of her face, she was enjoying this far too much. Gabrielle looked up slightly at the other woman whose body was on top of hers. “I was thinking.” Xena moved her other hand up slowly running it between her breasts hearing the younger woman’s breath catch. “Oh and what would you be thinking about?” Gabrielle felt her eyes dart. “I was thinking about what to say to you express how I feel right now.”

Xena leaned closer enjoying the amount of control she had over the younger woman at the moment. “How do you feel right now?” Gabrielle narrowed her gaze she was used to Xena’s teasing but her sexual teasing was a new thing altogether. “Well I thought about it and I couldn’t put it in to words, so I’m just going to do this instead.” She leaned upwards meeting the other woman lips in an instant it wasn’t a searing kiss it was a gentle one in which she wanted to show all her love. She felt the other woman’s body freeze for an instant as she intensified the kiss refusing to let it end. If only for one instant she wanted to truly show the other woman just how much she loved her.
