Only Time
By Illyandria
It started out as all the dreams had. Xena laid her child down carefully, pulling the blankets up to Eve's chubby chin. "Good night, darling," she said, kissing her on the forehead. As she moved away from the cradle, she could feel Ares' presence behind her. But this time, instead of throwing a punch to his face, she turned to regard him, an unusual mischievous glint in her eyes.
I want to move in time with you I want to breathe in rhyme with you I want to feel the deepest kiss And I want to know you feel like this
Ares arched an eyebrow, wondering what she was up to. That look was certainly new to him. He watched in stunned silence as she walked up to him, cocking her head to one side in an appealing fashion. He swallowed hard as she brought a hand to his face and ran it down his cheek, his neck, and then let it rest on his chest.
For this one time, one time Let my body do what it feels For this one time, one time Let this fantasy become real 'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
"Xena?" she heard him ask, voice low. "What -- what are you doing?"
She let her hand slip inside his vest, and heard his sharp intake of breath. She smiled inwardly, and answered his question, "The inevitable."
I want to feel your hand in mine And I want to feel that rush in my spine I want to wear the scent of you And do all the things you want me to
Ares hardly breathed as Xena pinned him with her eyes. He couldn't draw himself away from the crystal blue windows of her soul -- for in them he saw the truth, the want, the need.
So baby, this one time, one time Let my body do what it feels For this one time, one time Let this fantasy become real 'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
Xena's expert hands un-tucked his vest as her body drew dangerously closer to his. She lazily wrapped her arms around his strong waist, pressing herself against him.
I feel the danger, the separation I want to take your invitation This separation -- it's all around I need this side of me
Ares bit back a groan as her soft, yet lethal body teased him. He swallowed again as she tilted her head back, bringing her lips closer to his.
Giving in, his mouth descended upon hers, and they fell to the ground.
I want to move in time with you And I want to breathe in rhyme with you I want to stitch my clothes in sin And in the dark I want to find that door and go within
Bliss was the only word she could think of to describe what she was feeling. Something she had not felt since she had been his years ago. But as all the sensations hit her, she realized something.
It wasn't a dream.
For this one time, one time Let my body do what it feels For just one time, one time Let this fantasy become real 'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me No, I am not afraid to let you see this side of me This side of me This side of me
