DISCOVERIES PART 6

By D.virtue

“ I am quite humbled by the honor of Welcoming our Lord , to the Land Of
Xenadia, and the Capital City Of Gabrielle, in the Province of Nebula, all in
the Realm Of Our Lord, Xena The Conqueror. My Lord, we welcome you with open
arms, to rule and govern this land, that your Consort, our Highness, has
visualized, and lead the people to develop it in that vision, although there
wasn’t anyway that we could not have been able to construct all of this, with
the detailed designs, the drafts, and her Highness’s tireless efforts to make
sure that all was up to your Standard.”

Everyone chuckled at the statement, and then quieted down, while Xena simply
raised a brow and continued to listen.

“ My Lord most of the people, laborers and professionals, all having worked
under your direct leadership in other circumtances, knew the standard, and her
Highness made sure we did not forget it.” The Magistrate pausing to glance at
Diana, who was smirking obviously trying to contain a smile.

The Magistrate smiled in her stead and then continued. “ Anyway My Lord, we
all wanted to please not only you, but her highness, we have found her to be
quite the Ruler in your absences, and we have no worries should the day ever
come that she becomes the sole Ruler of Your Realm, May The fates never see
fit to bring that about My Lord, but we wanted you to know you have Chosen
well.”

Xena nodded her approval of the statement, and then looked over at Diana who
was looking quite embarrassed by the unsolicited comments. But she smiled at
the Magistrate and also bowed her head in appreciation.

“ My Lord we hope we have pleased you with our efforts? I will now turn the
floor over to Her Highness Lady Diana. Your Highness?” The Magistrate said as
she bowed and waited for Diana to stand.

Diana stood and giving a slight nod of her head the Magistrate returned to her
seat. Diana took a cursory look around the reception hall, looking at the
faces of those who had helped her not only discover the beauty in the land,
but also helped her to get on the road to discovering who she was and how she
fit into this new land and time. But she mostly looked because she wanted
every person to see in her eyes the gratitude in her heart, for helping her to
give such a gift to the person she loved most in the world.

The room was a deafening silent as Diana gazed upon everyone, and then when
she thought her heart was about to burst she took a deep breath.

“ A-hem, first of all, I want to say to all of you, these months we have been
together have been a pleasure, and a headache...haha, but mostly a complete
joy. All of you have not only met the standards that I had asked of you, but
in grand fashion you have exceeded it, I once said I could have done all of
this by myself, and while that is true, I can honestly say I would not have
had as much fun, and found new friends. All of you have made this dream a
reality for me, but I cannot and I will not take all of the credit for this,
there was one other person who was instrumental in making sure this project
stayed on course and the timetable to which I had set, and it would be a gross
miscarriage if I were not to acknowledge Princess Nebula’s incredible
leadership on this project, the times when I was not available to handle
things, I placed her in charge and it was as if I were not gone, she not only
picked up the ball and carried it, but she ran with it. I remember her telling
me a few times that I was pushing you all a little to hard, hmm... but from
what I saw ....she pushed harder.” Diana paused as she glanced down the table
to catch Nebula’s eyes.

Nebula was now blushing herself, but she smiled and shook her finger at Diana
in a playful way. Diana chuckled and then leveled her gaze on the people once
again.

“ Anyway, without her tremendous service as my right hand, I believe things
would have slowed down, so Thank you Princess Nebula, I could not have done it
without your help, you truly were a gift.” Diana said praisingly.

Nebula bowed her head low towards Diana and then lifted her eyes up to see
Diana wink at her, and she smiled a bright smile. Diana then turned to face
the crowd.

“Now I would like to say to Our Lord....My Lord Xena, my purpose for this and
anything I do is for one reason, and that is to please you, to see a smile on
your face is like the light of day after the night has ended. I long to make
you happy, and proud that you have Chosen Me to bond with, hourly my heart
overflows with the love I have for you, for you to have let me come here, even
against your better judgement, was hard for you, I know that, but as the fates
willed it, things worked out. I wanted to show what I felt for you in one of
the ways I knew would allow me to express myself with something not only for
the people, but as a testament and monument to you that still only just
scratches the surface of the very depth of my love for you. Everytime I saw a
new building go up or a well dug, I filled with joy. I won’t talk to much
longer, I don’t think I could even if I wanted to, I am so overwhelmed by the
great joy and pride I am feeling at being asked to give you something that
will represent to the people of this land your status as Ruler of Xenadia, and
the other lands of your Realm.” Diana then held her hand out for Xena to
stand, an Xena took it and stood.

One of the Advisors then walked up to the table and with a silver platter that
was covered he placed it on the table before Xena The Conqueror and Lady
Diana. Diana let go of Xena’s hand after Xena gave her’s a gentle squeeze.
Diana smiled at the subtle gesture and then she lifted the cover of the
platter.

Most of the people already knew what the gift was, but for those who did not
they craned their heads trying to see. There upon the platter sat a diamond
ring with gold and black and silver writing on it. Diana picked up the ring
and showed it to Xena just to make sure she liked it, which she smiled her
response.

Diana then held her hand out to Xena once again, and again Xena place her hand
in hers.

“ My Lord Xena, the people here and out at their post who helped develop this
land wanted to give you a gift , to show their respect and loyalty to you, and
I am humbled to have been asked to present this to you, It is a ring that has
inscribed upon it the names of every one of the lands that is in your Realm.
My Lord, Xena The Conqueror, Welcome to Xenadia!” Diana announced as she
slipped the jewel onto Xena’s fingers, then placing a kiss to it, Diana then
bowed her head and lowered her eyes, at which point everyone stood and did the
same.

Everyone remained bowed until Xena spoke.

“ Arise, all.” Then she waited for everyone to raise up and then motioned for
all to seat, while she and Diana remained standing.

Xena then turned to Diana and looking deep into her eyes, and having to wet
her lips a few times due to the rapid drying of them from all of the emotions
that were running through her, that seem to always be a part of her since she
meant Diana.

“ Thank you.” Xena said quietly to Diana, then she turned to face the silent
crowd.

“ I will make what I have to saw brief. I have always known that the people
under My Rule were the best, that is not new to me, what is new is the fact
that all of you were able to do all of this in such a short time, and you did
it so that it not only pleased me, but pleased Your Queen, and by pleasing
her, you have pleased me, I am honored to have received such a wonderous gift
from all of you, especially My Consort. I am very pleased, Thank you.” Xena
then turned to Diana and leaning in close she whispered...” And I will finish
showing you just how pleased.” She then leaned back and looked at Diana and
smirked at the reaction.

Xena then gave a wave of her hand as she sat back down, and Diana then
regaining some composure said, “ Let’s eat and enjoy the rest of the evening.”
Diana then clapped her hands and the servants appeared with foods of all
sorts, from delicacies of all types, to Braised Lamb, Caviar from the Caspian
Sea,, to the dessert, which was Fresh Berries in a Chocolate Basket.

Just as Diana was about to sit Xena grabbed her arm and pulled her over onto
the large throne seat with her. Diana yelped at the unexpectedness of the
action.

“ Xena?!”

“ Yes.” Xena asked simply.

“ What are you doing?”

“ What do you think?” Xena said with a raise of her brow.

“ I’m not sure, but I don’t think this is the time or place to do
....whatever.”

“ Uh-huh, that’s why your eyes are shining so brightly, besides I did tell you
I would show you later just how pleased I am by your incredible gift, didn’t
I?”

“ Well yes...but I thought you meant ....later.”

“ You thought wrong, now give.” Xena commanded, completely ignoring the food
that was being put before them.

“ But Xena?” Diana protested.

“ Now.” Xena commanded.

Diana noticed the look that was crossing Xena’s face and without another word
she leaned in and let Xena claim her lips and mouth.

“ Mmm.....” Diana moaned as Xena’s kiss turned utterly torrid.

Everyone who was about to start to eat, ended up sitting with food anywhere
between the plate and their mouths just held there while their mouths dropped
open in amazement at the passion and fire in what was happening at the head
table. They melted just watching.

Diana was kissing Xena with the same intensity, as much as she could, but
Xena’s kiss was winning and Diana simply laid back and let Xena ravish her
mouth as she sat across Xena’s lap. The kiss was going on so long and with
such intensity that Gabrielle who was not the only one, but after watching the
passion in the kiss and just remembering what she felt like when Xena kissed
her during her bring out, she was literally holding her breath, and after a
few minutes she found she needed air, but rather than just breathing,
Gabrielle expressed her desire.

“ B.R.E.A.T.H...!!!” She exhaled what little air she had left in her lungs.

At that moment Xena broke her seal over Diana’s soft sweet lips. Diana fell
back in Xena’s arms and breath. Xena looked over at Gabrielle who was now
fiercely blushing, and raising a brow she stated in a husky voice.

“ Is that enough?”

Then Xena returned to what she was doing, Diana’s feet came up and flexing her
feet as she tried to stretch out the intense wave of butterflies that were
fluttering throughout her body from the soul stirring kiss, and the only sound
that she could make was moans.

“ Mmmmm...”

Xena fed off of it, the whimpering, the moans, all of the sounds Diana was
pleading with her, to stop, don’t stop, Xena knew Diana was hers to do with as
she wished and Xena did not care who was around. She was impassioned and she
was holding her Consort in her arms, with Diana dressed in such a seductive
gown that she could not help herself.

Xena slid her free arm down the front of Diana’s long neck and on to her
heaving cleavage, where she freed one of Diana’s breast and Diana gasped by
the sensation and then shivered to her toes.

Xena opened her eyes as she continued to ravish Diana’s lips and mouth, and
Diana even in her delirium felt Xena looking at her, so she opened her eyes to
see Xena staring with passioned filled eyes into her own. The gaze was so
intense that Diana closed her eyes to try and steady herself, as much as she
could. But Xena wasn’t in the mood for it, so she broke their intense kiss and
captured the tight peak in her hot mouth and devouring it, Diana exclaimed
audibly.

“ GODS!!! “

Xena then bit down on it just after Diana had shrieked. And Diana begun to
squench Xena’s thirst. Finally after a bit of very heavy fondling, mainly on
Xena’s side . Xena lifted her mouth up off of Diana’s peak and commanded to
everyone. “ Eat!” Everyone clamped their mouths closed and begun to eat and
talk amongst themselves.

Finally after a while, everyone begun to filter out to leave the two women
alone, everyone that is, except Shatara, who had kept her word about not
interrupting the welcoming of Lord Xena to the land.

But now that the welcoming that she thought was enough, she was now watching
the two become more and more enraptured in their passion, and she decided she
would not leave, but in fact watch. So she remained sitting quietly in one of
the corners of the reception hall as she watched the two.

Xena had noticed that everyone had left except for Shatara, but she did not
care, in fact she wanted to see Shatara’s reaction to her making love to
Diana. So keeping an eye on Shatara, who had her arms crossed and was trying
to avoid eye contact with Xena, was not doing very well, in fact Xena raised a
questioning brow at her.

Xena not waiting or expecting a reply lifted Diana up onto the table where the
food that they had not touched had been moved to the side, she stripped her
out of the gown and taking a moment to admire Diana’s blushed covered hot
body. Xena licked her lips and giving an admiring cursory gaze over Diana’s
body Xena then swung Diana’s legs up onto the table, now it was as if Diana
was about to become Xena’s meal.

Xena picked up some of the braised lamb and pulling pieces off of it she
sprinkled them over Diana’s body randomly, Diana was foggily aware of what
Xena was doing and why, but she was so ready for Xena that she just laid on
the table squirming and calling for Xena to take her.

“ Please Xena?”

“ Patiences kitten, I figure I can take care of two things at once.” By the
time Xena had finished sprinkling Diana’s body with what she wanted, she then
claimed Diana’s lips once again. This time she only feasted on it for a few
minutes , just enough to stir Diana up once again. Then she took repast in
her Consort. She kissed down Diana’s neck and nipped and sucked on the soft
flesh as she then used her tongue to sample the scattered Caviar off of
Diana’s neck which she had place sparingly.

Diana moaned as a result, and Xena made her way down. Over the breast where
she licked the creamy gravy from them, then moving on to Diana’s nipples where
she savored them without anything on them.

“ Ahhhh....Xena?” Diana moaned delirious.

Xena moaned her own response as she feasted on Diana, Xena then left her
savoring of Diana’s nipples and nibbled her way down Diana’s firm abdomen, and
as she did Diana’s muscles twitched from the provocative nips, and while Xena
was enjoying Diana, all Diana could do was caress Xena’s head and shoulders,
at first .

But then Xena turned in such a way that allowed Diana to get ahold of Xena’s
breast, Diana rolled the tight nipples in between her fingers and every now
and again Diana would pinch them and then pulling and twisting them, Xena
moaned and smiled into Diana’s skin. Then Xena moved down out of Diana’s reach
and Diana groaned.

“X.e.n.a....?” Diana said reaching for Xena.

But Xena purposely moved out of Diana’s reach and Diana shook her head as a
shiver ran through her body. Xena then continued her feast as she then
delighted her way down to Diana’s soft curls, where she then blew a breath of
cool air through the highly heated hairs and nether lips.

Diana’s hips would have flew upwards off of the table had it not been for the
fact that Xena was holding Diana in place with her hands against Diana’s
thighs. Diana then lifted her head with effort and through her daze she asked,
“ Please, you.” And then laid her head back down.

Xena looked up over her brow over at Shatara who was staring in awe and lust
at how passionate Diana was for Xena and Xena for her, Shatara could feel the
heat and energy from the two of them. She was beginning to regret her decision
to stay and watch the two women, she was as ready as Diana was, she also found
herself wanting to grant Xena her desire to see her and Diana together.

Xena smirked and then she turned her body, and lifting up onto the table she
positioned herself over Diana’s sweet mouth. Diana instantly lifted her head
to take her pleasure, but Xena lifted herself out of Diana’s reach.

Diana groaned, and then asked breathlessly.

“ Please Xena?”

“ I have to tell you something first Consort.” Xena said sending the thought
to Diana as she continued to send a breeze of air through the soft curls and
Diana shivered.

“ What?” Diana sighed.

“ we’re being watched.” Xena said via her thoughts.

“ who?” Diana aked fading in and out of her fog.

“ Shatara.” Xena stated simply with her mouth.

Diana shook her head to clear it and then she tried to focus, so as to be sure
she heard right.

“ Who?”

“ You heard me Consort. “ Xena replied and then using her fingers she exposed
Diana’s peak and sucked it into her mouth, just as Diana processed the
information.

“ SHATAR.......!!!! AHHHH!!!!! Diana shrieked as Xena seized her throbbing
peak. And lowered her jewel to Diana’s mouth.

Diana was experiencing many different emotions, but despite the fact that one
was concern by Shatara watching her and Xena, she was not about to let Shatara
stop her from enjoying her pleasure, so she put Shatara’s present in the back
of her mind. Until Shatara decided it was the perfect excuse to show herself
to Diana.

“ You Called little beauty?” Shatara whispered in Diana’s ear .

Xena heard Shatara move towards them but she was curious as to what Shatara
would do. Diana however was to engrossed in what she was doing and didn’t
until Shatara whispered in her ear.

Diana stiffened and she turned her glistening face away from Xena’s jewel to
glare in amazement at the fact that Shatara would interrupt, and even more
than that to come this close.

While still breathing quite rapidly, and her heart pounding out of her chest
with Xena still feasting, unbeknowst to Diana Xena was purposely still
stimulating her, she knew Diana would not be able to control the ecstasy that
would claim her soon. But Xena although she could not see the two women
directly , she was able to see them thanks to a silver platter that was
conveniently place, she could see both of the women’s faces.

Shatara was within inches of Diana’s glistening face and she could smell
Xena’s scent on Diana’s face and lips, which confused her it smelled like
strawberries. But then she leaned in closer and Diana moved her head back as
much as she could considering she was between Xena’s powerful thighs. Xena
reached back and grabbing hold of Diana’s hands in hers, she held her. Diana
wanted to get her hands free, but Xena sent her a thought and said simply....”
No.”

“ Xena?!!”

Shatara followed Diana’s head movement and without warning she laid a kiss
on Diana that allowed her to taste Xena on Diana’s lips. Then she broke away
and grinned sheepishly at Diana , who now was struggling between getting her
hands and body free of Xena to try and choke the life out of Shatara, and
trying to control the orgasm that was about to claim her. Shatara then became
more daring and she saw one of Diana’s taut nipples peaking out from the side
and she gave Diana a try and stop me look and she seized upon it.

“ Shatara!!” Diana exclaimed as Shatara sucked on the peak, and actually
moaned at how sweet it was.

Xena in the meantime was intensifying her efforts as she felt Diana struggling
to get loose while at the same time her core was begin to quiver contiously.

“ XENA??!!!” Diana screamed as she finally lost her control and the orgasm
claimed her. Xena absorbed the nectar in her tongue, and she allowed herself
to release as well, and Diana smelled the aroma of Xena’s nectar and with no
choice but to either allow Xena’s nectar to go, and have Xena get upset with
her, or just control her temper and enjoy Xena for the time, until Xena
allowed her to get free.

So Diana stopped her struggling and while Shatara continued to suck hard on
her nipple, which only remained hard because of what Xena was doing and not
because of what Shatara was doing, Diana turned her head back after giving
Shatara a hard look. Then she went to feasting on Xena’s jewel. After a bit of
time had passed Xena and Diana’s ecstasies finally ended. And despite the
fact that Diana wanted Shatara’s neck in her hands, at the moment she could do
nothing but collapse to the table to recover.

Shatara also released as a result of joining in and although her orgasm was no
where near as long as the two women she was satisfied, and she let go of
Diana’s peak and looking down at Xena she threw a kiss and then slipped away.
Xena lifted herself off of Diana and off of the table and sat down in the
throned chair to catch her breath, and watch Shatara as she savored Xena’s
nectar that now glistened on her lips.

“ Mmmm...” Shatara exclaimed as she relished the taste, although different
from what she remembered, she found it to be just as sweet.

Diana laid on the table long enough to catch her breath and Xena watched her
as well so as to be ready. Finally Diana’s breathing and heart rate returned
to normal, and just as it did she jumped from the table and flew at Shatara,
Xena sensed the move and a split second before she was already flying in front
of Diana. She landed and pushed Shatara out of the way.

Diana saw Xena and would have adjusted herself, had it not been that Xena was
ahead of her a split second, therefore all she could do was prepare herself
for the impact . She and Xena caught each other and Xena and her rolled, to
where Xena ended up on top. Holding the struggling Diana down by her arms.

“ Be still.” Xena ordered.

“ Xena get OFF! I’m going to rip those lips of hers right off of her face and
then push them down her throat , until she chokes to death! Get OFF!!” Diana
shouted.

“ NO! Now be still, I won’t say it again.” Xena said warning Diana.

“ I Can’t Believe this bitch!” Diana cursed.

Xena then leveled her gaze on Diana, who then bought her eyes to look at Xena,
and with the intensity of the penetrating gaze Diana stopped her struggles
and took a deep breath, and Xena leaned down and whispered ,” You know better
kitten.”

“ But Xena?! That B.....WOMAN! kissed me! And sucked on my breast!” Diana
stated with disgust.

“ I know.” Xena simply stated.

“ YOU KNOW?!” Diana said stunned.

“ Yes I saw her.”

“ Then why are you holding back , or at the very least, why aren’t you tearing
her limb from limb?!” Diana questioning Xena’s non reaction.

“ Because she was just playing with you Consort.” Xena stated matter of
factly.

“ Play.....Playing, you call her kissing me full on the lips with your taste
on my mouth PLAYING?! And SUCKING ON MY BREAST PLAYING?! Xena get off of me!!”
Diana said angered by Xena’s answer.

“ Not until you calm down kitten.” Xena said calmly.

“ Arrghhff!!” Diana huffed as she glared at Xena for a moment and then begun
breathing slowly in and out calming herself, finely after a moment she relaxed
her muscles and then she looked up at Xena and said in a deceivingly calm
voice.

“ Ok, I’m calm now, I’m still mad, but I’m calm, now please, can I get up and
put my clothes on ?”

Xena studied Diana for a moment and then she gave a slight nod of her head and
she raised herself up off of Diana and Diana laid there for a moment more and
then she raised up off of the floor with Xena’s help.

She turned to glare at Shatara, who was standing up now after having been
knocked to the floor by the push she received from Xena. Xena watched Diana
and then she said in warning. “ D.i.a.n.a...”

Diana looked at Shatara for a moment more and then she glanced behind her to
acknowledge that she had heard Xena, she then strided over to the table and
looking at what she had to put on, she decided it would not do, so she pulled
the tablecovering off of one of the tables and strategically tearing it she
made herself a quick Amazon looking outfit.

Shatara stared in amazement and Xena smirked, she then walked over to where
Diana was putting on the outfit and leaning over as she picked up her own
clothes to put them on, she whispered, “ Show off.”

Diana gave a small smile, but it did not reach her eyes, she was waiting for
something, and while she did she moved casually closer to what she wanted.
Xena soon started to put her clothes on, and once she had started to put her
arms into her Royal robes...Diana made her move! She shot towards Shatara and
the only thing Xena had time to do was call after Diana , just as Diana
Tackled Shatara! Who had gotten distracted by Xena putting on her clothes, she
had been staring at Xena’s body the whole time while Xena held Diana down on
the floor and now while she was dressing.

“ DIANA!!” Xena shouted.

Diana landed a blow to Shatara’s face that rattled her teeth, then she put her
hands around Shatara’s throat and begun squeezing. Shatara tried to get
herself free, but she was seeing stars and realized she was about to pass out
and possibly die, but just as she was about to call upon her sorceress powers,
Xena was there in a flash and rather than try to talk Diana down at that
moment she knew she needed to get Diana’s hands from around Shatara’s throat,
although Xena wondered why Diana wanted Shatara to slowly die and therefore
suffer, she realized Diana actually hated the idea that someone would taste
her mates nectar uninvited.

“ CONSORT LET GO! Xena commanded while trying to pry Diana’s hands from
Shatara’s throat.

“ I will .....in a little while, I just want to watch her die.” Diana said in
a passioned filled voice.

Xena heard it and then realized in that instant Diana was letting her darkside
come out, Xena lifted Diana’s head up to look into her eyes. There she saw it,
her eyes as black as the night. Xena knew she had to act more aggressively
with Diana to get her to let go.

With a grip between Diana’s thumbs and forefingers Xena squeezed. Diana looked
at her and gritted her teeth, trying to maintain the hold, but Xena simply
smirked and squeezed a bit harder. Neither woman saying anything.

“ Ahh!” Diana gasped audibly as she felt her hands opening from the grip.

Diana tried to tighten her grip, but instead Xena added more pressure which
was just enough for Shatara to get air, then Xena begun to rise and as she did
Diana had no choice but to follow, the pain would not allow her to do anything
else.

“ OK!!” Diana said through clenched teeth.

“ Give me your word kitten you won’t do that again.” Xena said giving Diana
the option.

Diana thought about not doing that, but Xena watching her like a hawk added a
bit more pressure.

“ OK! OK! YOU HAVE IT MY LORD!” Diana exclaimed!

Xena then let go of Diana’s hand and Diana brought them to herself and begun
massaging them. While she was doing that Xena went over to check on Shatara.

“ Are you ok?”

“ By The Gods She has a powerful left cross.” Shatara said as she tested her
jaw to see if it were broken, because that’s the way she felt .

“ Yes she’s almost as strong as I am, what I don’t understand is why you
didn’t use your powers on her?” Xena questioned as she helped the woman to her
feet, and actually had to pull a chair over for her to sit in due to the
dizziness that was swaying her.

“ I was, but you got to her just before, lucky for her.” Shatara stated
without emotion.

“ No Shatara, lucky for you, you hurt her, I hurt you, got it?” Xena warned in
no uncertain terms. Besides you started it by staying in here knowing what was
about to happen. Xena finished as she gave Shatara a firm look and begun to
clean her mouth up of the blood that had graced it with it’s covering.

“Your lucky she didnt knock your teeth out.”

“ I don’t know how lucky, it feels like she did.” Shatara said as Xena then
handed her the cloth to hold it over the cut that was somewhat large, and was
the cause of the moderate amount of blood that covered Shatara’s lips.

“ Are you through pampering her Xena?! Diana said snidely.

Xena raised to her full height to look at Diana. Diana stood with her arms
crossed defiantly. Xena cocked her head, and then Diana took a deep breath and
turned her gaze on Shatara, and in an accusing tone of voice filled with one
emotion.....Hate! Diana accused.

“ YOU had to come here! You had to make your present known to Xena! You
couldn’t just leave! And if that weren’t enough you had the gall to not only
touch me! But Kiss me! And suckle MY Breast! I ....I am sooo.....PISSED at
you....I....”

“ Little beauty I know you don’t like me, that’s not new.” Shatara stated
matter of factly.

“ Ha! Is that what you think? You think I don’t like you? Diana sneered as she
moved towards Shatara, Xena stood in her path and Shatara stood up, this time
readying herself for the attack.

Diana stopped when she got to Xena and rather than step around her, she just
leaned forward and let the vemon flow from her lips.

“ I don’t just dislike you S.h.a.ta.r.a... I hate you with such a passion,
that I am actually turned on by it. “ Diana then licked her lips, as if she
were about to seduce Xena. Then she said in a smooth voice. “ You ruined a day
that should have been perfect, so I will give you fair warning, that you
didn’t give me when you decided to ruin it. S.t.a.y. A.w.a.y. F.r.o.m.
W.h.a.t. I.s. M.i.n.e, or I swear by every greek God and his or her sister, I
will destroy you. Xena Is Mine, I don’t want you anywhere near her, You are
free to go to any village or town you choose, but do not come near Xena, All I
want to do right now is just rip your tongue out and just watch the blood
flow. GODDESSES ABOVE I HATE YOU.” Diana said as she seductivley wiped her
lips, and ran her hand down her throat.

“ You don’t know who your threatening little Beauty.” Shatara said with
warning in her own voice.

“ I know more than you think I know you little Snake haired Gorgon. Now I’m
going to Xena’s and My Chambers, I’ll leave you to say your goodbyes to your
Lord,seeing how it is the last time you’ll be anywhere near her. Xena tell
your little friend you can’t play with her anymore, otherwise....I’ll kill
her! “ Diana stated and then turned on her heels and strided out of the
reception hall and headed for the bedchambers.

Xena and Shatara both stood gazing after Diana, Xena then turn to Shatara and
said....” So...was it worth it?”

Shatara pinched her lips together and then answered, “ Yes, but I will tell
you My Lord, it was not my intention to ruin your welcome reception, I had
hoped that you wouldn’t take her knowing I was here, but I should have known
better.”

“ Yes you should have, why would I not have what pleases me, she is my life,
she is the one who lights my fire like they have never been lit before.”

“ Including me?”

“ Shatara, you are one of the few people who have been in my life that I
actually have enjoyed bedding, mainly because you were able to provide me with
some pleasure. But I would Die for that young woman.”

Shatara stood with tears rolling down her cheeks as she listened to Xena
confess her love for Diana.

“ My Lord, I see you love her, and I see how much she cares for you, but that
doesn’t change MY feelings, I love you just as much as I have always, maybe
more, and I don’t want to give you up, I can’t, like she is your life, you are
mine. I won’ t lose you to her My Lord.” Shatara confessed.

“ Shatara, how can I be your life when we have not seen each other in decades?
And plus you can’t lose me, seeing how I am not yours to lose. No one claims
me, I am the one who makes any and all claims.” Xena stated as The Conqueror
she was.

“ She claimed you.” Shatara stated in recognition.

“ She only said that to make the point to you that she doesn’t want you
around.”

“ Hmm... Well she won’t get her wish.”

“ And why is that?”

“Because I know something that I would think she should realize.”

“ And that would be...?”

“ Your immovable will. You won’t allow her to dictate to you who you can and
can not see, it’s just a part of who you are My Lord.” Shatara said as she
walked up to Xena and looking up into her eyes she lifted her head and planted
a kiss on Xena, one that allowed her to taste Diana’s passionate submission to
Xena’s skills.

“ Mmmm....Wow, I see why you enjoy her so much My Lord. Shatara said praising
the nectar of Diana she tasted on Xena’s mouth.

Xena smirked and then said, “ Stay away, I will call for you or come there to
see you when I want to see you.” Xena called after Shatara, who then turned
and bowed, and then disappeared through the doors and was gone.

Xena stood where she was for a moment longer as she thought about Diana and
all she had done to make things perfect for her welcoming. Xena left the Hall
and with her guards escorting her to The Chambers of her’s and Diana’s, Xena
arrived at the chamber and went in.

The lounge area of the room was grand, and Xena would have liked to examine it
more closely, but right now she had to talk to her mate. Xena strided towards
the door she thought would be the bedchamber, based off of the view she saw
from where she stood looking towards the west of the room out of the window.
it was a wonderful view, so she headed in that direction.

She opened it to find a breathtaking view. She stood in the doorway looking
around in awe.

“ Magnificient.” Xena breathe.

Xena stood looking around for a few more minutes and then she moved into the
room and walked around assessing everything that was around her. While she did
that she heard something in one of the other rooms of the bedchamber, and then
she snapped out of her amazement and shaking her head she moved to the door,
but Diana came out just as she was about to open it.

“ Oh, sorry I didn’t hear you come in, is she gone?” Diana asked solemnly.

“ Yes.”

“Good.” Diana said as she started to step around, but Xena caught her arm.

“ Diana, I know you think Shatara spoiled the day...” Xena started.

“ I don’t want to talk about her or it, what’s done is done, I’m tired and I
want to go to bed.” Diana stated coolly.

Trying to remove her arm out of Xena’s grip only to have that grip tighten,
and Xena now studying her, only made Diana let out a sigh of frustration from
the lecture she felt was coming.

“ Like I was saying, I know you think she ruined things, but I don’t see how
you could think that when it is I who decides if I was offended. I wasn’t, I
was a little upset with her for what she did by upseting you, but she was just
playing around, she wants to see how far she can push you before you do
something that will upset me. Diana your reception was a tremendous success,
and I am so very proud and pleased with you.” Xena stated as she turned around
to completely look Diana in the eyes.

Lifting Diana’s chin with her fingers, Xena continued in her praise. “ Kitten,
I am staggered by all you have done here, it is an extraordinary job, and a
glorious gift. Thank you.” Xena then leaned down and placed a tender,
compassionate kiss to the disappointed Diana.

Diana accepted the kiss and when Xena broke it she then gave a small smile and
then turned and went to the bed and removing her robe, Xena noticed that Diana
was wearing a night gown. Which meant that Diana was letting Xena know she
wasn’t up to anything tonight. Xena stood for a moment just watching Diana get
settled in bed and then she turned and strided over to the bed and stood
looking down at Diana.

“ Why do you have the gown on?” Xena asked matter-of-factly.

“ I just want to go to sleep, it turned out to be a very disappointing ending
to a day that was suppose to be wonderful, and I just want to forget about
it....Gods I hate her.” Diana hissed as she turned over onto her side to face
away from Xena’s piercing gaze.

Xena took a breath and then she sat down on the side of the bed, putting her
hand on Diana’s back she said, “ Look at me kitten.”

“ Xena please I just want to go to sleep.” Diana said objecting.

Xena now lost her patiences. “ Turn over and sit up now Consort!” Xena
commanded.

Diana heard the change in tone, and she looked back at Xena and found her
leveling a penatrating gaze on her. She looked away for a moment and then she
rolled over onto her back and then sat up, crossing her arms across her chest
she let her gaze settle on the painting on the wall in front of her, but Xena
meant what she had said.

“ Look at me Consort.”

Diana dropped her gaze and then raising it she brought it to rest on Xena.
Chewing on her lip she sighed and then said, “ Ok what?”

Xena raised a brow at Diana’s tone, and then decided to let it past for the
moment.

“ Consort I will not let you sit here sulking about something that I have
already told you I am fine with. I also won’t allow you to deny me my
pleasures just because your disappointed that things didn’t end the way you
plan, you know what I always say.....things don’t always workout the way we
plan. Diana, Shatara could have ruined the whole day, but instead she behaved
herself until after everyone was gone.”

“ Yea right, only because she knew you would beat the crap out of her if she
had ruined the whole day.”

“ And your point?”

“ My point Xena, is that she behaved herself out of respect for you, she
ruined the end out of her lust and desire for you, and to end a wonderful
loving event just to prevent me from enjoying the afterglow of our lovemaking,
which it worked! She did it maliciously.” Diana stated with anger in her voice
and then a thoughtful expression came to her face, she looked away from Xena’s
gaze for a moment and then she leveled it back on Xena.

“ Xena will you do something for me?” Diana said with a dubious gaze.

Xena narrowed her gaze and then said, “ What?”

“ I want you to tell her to stay away.”

“ I did already.” Xena answered without hesitation.

“ Really?!” Diana said with some light coming back into her eyes.

“ Yes.” Xena stated calmly.

“ You told her to stay away? Just like that?” Diana questioned.

“ Yes exactly like that, with those words.”

“ What did she say?” Diana asked studying Xena’s facial expressions, or at
least trying to see any change in them.

“ What could she say? She bowed and left.

“ wow! You actually told her to stay away?”

“ What? You don’t believe me?” Xena asked unsure of why Diana kept saying it.

“ No! I mean yes, of course I believe you, I’m just so.....never mind! I love
you Xena, thank you!” Diana exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Xena’s
neck, and planted a searing kiss to Xena’s receptive lips.

Diana pushed Xena over onto her back which left Xena half on and half off of
the bed, her legs hanging over the edge, and the trunk of her body laying on
it. Xena allowed Diana to break the embrace.

Diana laid atop of Xena looking down into her lit sapphire eyes.

“ Xena I’m sorry about the way I was acting, I just hate her so very much for
what she did.”

“ Diana your upset with Shatara not necessarily because she kissed you, or
suckled you.” Xena recognized.

“ Xena?! What do you mean? Are you saying that I didn’t mind her kissing me?”

“ No, I’m saying your more upset at the fact of what Shatara took away from
the kiss.” Xena said raising a brow at Diana in question.

Diana studied Xena for a few minutes and then she backed off of Xena and sat
on her heels as Xena remained where she was only she now put her arms behind
her head as she now studied Diana.

Diana sat looking at her hands for long moments, then she looked over to Xena
who still had her brow arched. Diana swallowed and then brought her gaze back
to her hands.

“ Admit it Diana, your jealous, and you have no reason to be.” Xena stated
pointly.

Diana looked at Xena once again and then sat back on her behind in indian
fashion and looked at Xena. Finally after a few minutes Diana said, in
defense.
“ Well, that may be true, but you can’t blame me for feeling this way, I mean
she kisses you, and you don’t stop her, she states flat out what her
intentions are towards you and yet you let it slide, she kisses me, just to
taste you on my lips, and you don’t rip her apart, she suckles my breast and
you don’t strike her down.” Diana listed as Xena’s brows begin to knit
together.

“ What are you saying?” Xena asked as she sat up to look Diana squarely in the
eyes.

Diana maintained the eye contact and stated matter-of-factly. “ I’m just
saying that if someone had the nerve to say these things to me in front of
you, and did what Shatara has done, I know their would be one less person on
this planet, Xena you would have ripped the person’s tongue from their very
mouth at the first utterance of such things.” Diana said as she kept her eyes
on Xena’s.

“ True, I would, and I would also punish you as well for even knowing such a
person. So what’s your point?”

“ My Point is I don’t understand why your letting her do all of these things?”

“ Because she is only doing them for the very same reason your jealous, she’s
still in love with me.” Xena said matter-of factly.

“ No Xena it’s not the same reason, I am bonded to you, she isn’t.” Diana
reminded Xena lest she forget.

“ Hmm....Diana, if it will make you feel better I will tell Shatara to stay
away from you?”

“ It’s not me I want her to stay away from, it’s you Xena, I don’t want you to
see her anymore.” Diana said possessively.

“ Consort don’t forget your place.” Xena warned, hearing the tone.

“ Xena you are mine.Just like I am yours.”

“ NO!” Xena said as she went to her feet and stood towering over Diana. I am
not yours to command, you are mines to command Consort!”

“ Xena? How does that make sense, when all things are equal in that we’re
bonded to one another?!”

“ Because I unlike you, am The Conqueror, therefore it is I who gives the
orders and commands, and you.....my dear Consort, are to follow them. It is I
who possess, and you who are possessed, therefore don’t ever assume that you
can tell me who I can and can not speak with whenever I choose to speak with
them.”

“ But Xena?”

“ No buts Consort, you heard what I said.” Xena stated, while leveling a gaze
on Diana. Do you understand Consort?”

“ Yes.”

“ Good Girl.”

“ Hmmm.....I did mean what I said, if I see her anywhere near you, I won’t
take my time about killing her next time.” Diana reminded.

Xena stood studying Diana and then she said, “ you’ll do what your told
Consort. Now I don’t want to talk about this anymore, I want to pick up where
we left off .” Xena said as she motioned for Diana to strip.

Diana sat where she was for a moment longer,thinking how she did not agree
with Xena on some things, but she thought about it and then decided to talk to
her about it later, she wanted the rest of the night to be relaxing. So after
a moment she did as she was bid and she and Xena made love once again.

After words Xena laid back on her back and casually sucked on her fingers,
while Diana was just catching her breath.

“ So very NICE Consort.” Xena said admiringly.

“ Hmmm...glad you like. Your not so bad yourself. “ Diana smirked as she took
a final lick of her own fingers and then rolled over onto her side and planted
a kiss on Xena and then rolled back over onto her back and closed her eyes and
went to sleep.

Xena smiled and then pulled Diana over into her arms and placing a kiss to
Diana’s forehead, she too then settled back and faded off into Morpheus’s
Realm.

The next morning before first light Xena awoke and wanted to workout, but she
wanted more of a challenge than having to take on a number of her soldiers all
at once, so looking over at Diana, who looked like she was having a pleasant
dream, at least that’s what Xena thought while listening to the signs and deep
breaths and moans coming from the sleeping young woman.

“ Consort, wakeup.” Xena whispered into Diana’s ear.

“ Hmmm......I don’t want to.” Diana moaned as she snuggled closer to Xena.

Xena smirked and placing a kiss on Diana’s forehead again she then flexed her
shoulder and whispered again.

“ Diana, wake up, I won’t us to workout together today.”

“ Hmm...Xena, can’t we do it later?” Diana groaned at being awaken from a
wonderful dream.

“ No, now get up.” Xena said more firmly, and then she slid her arm out from
under Diana and arose out of the bed, and strided over towards the bath.

Diana continued to lay with her eyes closed, but no longer in the same type of
sleep, then she heard Xena again.

“ Consort I expect you to be up when I come out of here.”

“ X..e...nnaaa....?” Diana groaned, as she rolled over onto her back and swung
her arm over her head to rest her head on, while looking up at the artful
ceiling.

Then after a few minutes more she heard Xena coming back and so she jumped up
out of the bed to her feet just as Xena opened the door.

“ I’m up.” Diana stated as if she had been up the whole time.

“ I see, well come and get cleaned up and put your leathers on.” Xena ordered.

“ Ok.” Diana said as she moved towards the bath, and Xena turned sideways just
as Diana was passing and at the same time she brought her hand up and landed a
solid swat to Diana’s naked behind.

“ OWWW!!! Xena what was that for?!” Diana shrieked as she grabbed her behind.

“ Because you weren’t up.” Xena stated simply.

“ I was too up when you came out. “ Diana shot back.

“ Really? well how is it that I was able to put my leathers on that chair?”
Xena asked pointing at her now moved leathers.

“ But.....how did you do that and me not hear you?”

“ You forget to whom you speak .” Xena stated with a raised brow.

“ Hmm....well I was up when I saw you.” Diana reasoned.

“ But it only matters if I see you.” Xena clarify.

Diana smirked and then turned and strided into the bath to get cleaned up.
After the two were dressed Diana took Xena to the Hall of Mastery, where Xena
was stunned to see all of the weapons and other armor in the massive Hall. As
well as all of the other amenities. Xena smiled and strided over to pick out
the weapons she wanted to practice with for her and Diana.

After which she turned to Diana and motioned for her to come over to her.

“ First we’ll warmup and then we’ll start with the Chobos, then the Maces, and
then the staffs, swords and we’ll end with hand to hand.”

“ what made you decide you didn’t want to workout with your soldiers?”

“ Because I wanted a bit of a challenge kitten.” Xena teased.

“ A BIT?! Diana gasped. “ What do you mean a bit?” Diana questioned as she
stood with her fist on her hips indignant.

Xena smirked, which only caused Diana to look more indignant. Then Diana
stated, “ We’ll see how much of a BIT of a challenge I will be My Love.” Diana
said as she turned around and strided to another area of the floor.

Then Diana motioned for Xena to come over to HER. Xena smirked at the gesture
and then put her battle mask firmly in place as she glided over to where Diana
stood poised for the Challenge.

The two cirlced one another as they sized up each other, both waiting for the
other to strike knowing one of them would have to take the first swing.
So....with that thought Diana faked a swing at Xena and Xena recognized it for
what it was and engaged Diana. The two were pretty well evenly matched in that
they both were landing strikes upon one another, although Xena’s hurt more
than Diana’s.

“ UH! “ Diana gasped as she was backhanded by Xena after she found an opening
in Diana’s defense.

Diana whirred and recovered from the blow and reengaging Xena. The Chobo’s
clapped together against one another in a rhythmic melody as the two danced.
Xena backing Diana up and then Diana backing Xena.

“ HM! “ Xena exhaled, as Diana caught her in the side with one of her Chobo’s.

Xena blocked the followup swing and then turned low and caught Diana on her
foot.

“ OWW!! Xena that’s no fair!” Diana exclaimed at being hit on the instep of
her foot with Xena’s Chobo.

“ Fair kitten? There is no FAIR in battle, only honor. Now stop whining and
COME ON!” Xena commanded.

Diana narrowed her eyes and then she engaged Xena once again. Xena smiled a
wick smile at the look and she was elated at having decided to let Diana train
with her, her competitive nature along with Diana’s was exactly what she
needed.

Diana swung and Xena ducked and brought one of the Chobo’s up to catch Diana
in the midsection, only to have Diana backflip away, as Xena stalked her with
swing after swing, intending to land one if not more.

Xena decided to end Diana’s continious backflips so she leaped up and over the
backflipping young woman and came down behind Diana just as Diana noticed Xena
was no longer swinging at her with the Chobo’s. So finally coming to a stop
Diana smiled to herself as she scanned the masssive room looking for Xena.
Just as she turned she was greeted with a fist to her cheek, which sent her
soring backwards and then laid out for a moment.

Xena licked her lips and then strided over to Diana, who was shaking her head
to

clear it of the daze and was just sitting up, Xena pushed her back down to the
floor with her boot.

“ Xena?! What are you doing?” Diana exclaimed as her head hit the floor, thus
causing it to hurt again.

Xena looked Down at Diana and saw that she had not lost one of her Chobo’s,
and being in full warrior mode she went to kneel astride Diana as she brought
her Chobo’s down to cross one another and Diana brought her one up to protect
her throat as Xena applied a little pressure.

“ Xena?!” Diana strained as Xena continued to push, but then Diana saw it, she
saw Xena was in full warrior mode, and as long as she held the Chobo Xena
would continue until she resigned her self .

But the only problem with releasing the Chobo was that her hands were wrapped
around it holding Xena off, so she was relieved when Xena asked,“ Do you give
Consort?”

Diana let the fear she felt slide to the back of her mind as she continued in
the mode of a warrior. Once she realized Xena was in control of herself.

“ NO! Never!” Diana shouted as she noticed the smirk cross Xena’s lips and
then disappear only to be replaced by the mask of a warrior once again.

Diana felt Xena now start to really use her strength, and her own arms were
starting to ache at trying to hold Xena off. So with a sudden thought
springing into her mind Diana acted on it....she rolled her hips up off of the
floor and using her long legs she wrapped them around Xena’s neck and rolled
her hips back to the ground, and as she did her legs of course followed thus
Xena, and Diana rolled so the they ended up in the same position only Xena was
now on the bottom with Diana smirking down at her and holding her one Chobo
against Xena’s two at Xena’s throat.

Xena had to bring a little more of her strength to hold Diana off, but then
when she saw Diana’s smirk turn to a grin, Xena then used her flexible strong
body , she lifted her back and hips up rapidly at the same time, thus catching
Diana completley off guard, seeing how Diana had positoned herself just so ,
so that Xena could not catch her around her neck the same way she had done
Xena.

But because of the position it put Diana off balance slightly, seeing how she
was leaning forward over Xena’s body, to apply the strength needed to maintain
her hold over Xena. But she was not expecting the current move and she went
flying forward as she yelped at being thrown in such a way. Xena rolled
backwards and coming to her feet , just as Diana came to hers and turned Xena
threw the Chobos over her shoulder and hitting the hilt of one of the MACES
with her booted foot and it flipped upwards into her hand.

Diana saw the change in weapon and looking at where her Mace was she gave Xena
a questioning glance. Xena studied Diana for a moment and then she gave a
slight nod of her head, indicating that Diana could get her Mace, but Xena had
plans.

As Diana walked over to get the weapon, Xena watched her. Diana did not watch
Xena, although she glanced at her at times. When Diana bent down to pick up
the Mace with her back to Xena, she had just started to pick the weapon up
when....

“ C.R.A.C.K.!!!”

The Mace’s handle shattered, and it startled Diana so much that she stood up
suddenly only to have the Mace swung around with such speed that when it came
to stop only a hairs breath away from her neck ,she was now breathing hard and
rapid and her heart was beating out of her chest as she stood froze in place,
her mouth slightly open as if she were about to speak, and Xena standing with
narrowed eyes glaring at her with flames dancing in her eyes.

Diana’s eyes were locked on the mace, and she didn’t dare move. Then Diana
looked back up at Xena and then Xena hissed at her.

“ Don’t you ever do that again!!!” Xena scolded to the trembling woman as she
stood with both confusion written on her face as well as fear.

“ Wh.....what?” Diana managed.

“ Take your opponents word for anything! Xena sneered and then she removed the
the Mace from at Diana’s throat. Diana exhaled audibly as she then stood up
straight and with her pulse point beating wildly.

“ You...you said it was ok for me to get it.” Diana argued back, somewhat
angry at Xena for scaring her like that.

“ I was testing you to see if you remembered what I had told you!” Xena stated
with force behind her words.

“ How was I suppose to know that? Besides what did you tell me that I was
suppose to remember?!”

“ That there is no Fair play in battle, only Honor.”

“ But Xena isn’t part of honor one of fair play?”

“Not when it’s your life.” Xena stated matter-of-factly.

“ Hm....ok, fine I’ll remember that, but next time you want to test me on
something , let me know about it first.” Diana said with a smirk as her anger
subsided at Xena’s reasoning, she turned to walk and get the next weapon,but
Xena was not happy with what she was seeing.

Xena strided over and caught Diana by her hair.

“ OW! Xena?!”

“ Listen to me Diana! This is not a joke! “ Xena scolded while holding Diana
by her hair....tightly.

“ Your telling me.” Diana answered.

Xena tighten her grip on the ebony mane and pulled Diana to her so that her
face was inches from Xena’s.

“ Stop it!” Xena said punishing Diana’s head with her gripping.

“ OW!! Ok! OK! What?!” Diana pleaded as she brought her hands up to try and
keep her scalp from being ripped off, as it seemed it would be.

“ Diana do you realize that when you stood up, that that move is one of the
most classic reactions to what I did with the mace? Most people including
warriors who aren’t as highly trained because of who they are, or the fact
that they have not faught for sometime, tend to do exactly what you did. They
get startled for one reason or another and then as a result they stand up, and
by standing up they can lose their heads....like you would have if I had been
someone who wanted to hurt you. Do you understand what I’m telling you
Consort?”

Diana dropped her gaze for a moment thinking about what Xena had just told
her, and as much as she didn’t like the idea of admitting she had made such a
mistake, she realized she was wrong and Xena was right. So after thinking
about it for a moment, she lifted her eyes back to Xena’s and then with a
contrite smile Diana answered humbly.

“ Your right, I’m sorry, it’s been a while since I had to think along those
lines, it won’t happen again Xena.”

Xena continued to look at Diana, but then her gaze softened.

“ Ok Kitten, just make sure that from now on, even when we’re sparring, you do
think along those lines. Otherwise rather than losing your head to me, you’ll
lose the ability to sit down for a while.” Xena warned with an arch of her
brow.

Diana blushed at the scolding and then Xena let her hair go and said, “now get
your staff.”

Diana started for the staff but then she turned to face Xena as she backed to
where her staff was. Xena gave her an approving nod and Diana returned a small
smile and having arrived at where her staff was she saw Xena moving towards
her spinning her staff, and then she saw the change in the pattern and
realized that Xena was preparing to attack, so Diana hit the end of her stafff
with her foot as Xena charged.

Diana whirled and brought her staff around to catch the charging warrior , but
Xena flipped over her and Diana flipped right behind her as Xena passed
overhead and was bringing her staff down as she did so to catch Diana in the
head, but Diana was already in the air with Xena and when Xena landed Diana
landed right with her.

Xena struck out her fist to strike Diana, but Diana ducked and brought her
staff up and caught Xena in the chest and Xena fell back a few steps and Diana
took the advantage and begun swinging the staff in a number of complex moves,
Xena was backing away and then she stopped and whirled out of the line of
Diana’
s staff .

Then she came around just as Diana adjusted to the move and caught Diana
behind her knee which sent Diana to the floor and Diana immediately rolled
backwards and came back to her feet , and Xena brought the staff around again
and caught her once again seeing how she anticipated the move, and again Diana
went down. This time Xena was on her with the heel of her boot and the end of
her staff that was now pressing against her throat.

“ Do you give Diana?” Xena asked in challenge knowing she had Diana in a
position that if it were anyone else would kill them, but with Diana it would
injury her.

Diana knew Xena had her and she was breathing hard and perspiration was
dripping from both her’s and Xena’s brows. So she said, “ Yes.”

Xena smirked and then backed away watching Diana just in case she was trying
to trick her. Diana watched Xena and while she had thought about it, she
realized Xena was truly the epitome of a warrior, always watchful and ready,
so she sat up and then stood up.

“ Pick up your sword.” Xena ordered, which was to Diana’s surprise.

“ But I thought we were finished?”

“Did you now?” Xena asked mockingly.

Diana flinched at the tone, but she put it off to Xena being in her warrior
mode and when she was she could be deadly. So Diana got a sword and readied
herself for Xena’s attack.

Xena stalked Diana for a few moments and then faking a swing at Diana’s
midsection, causing Diana to push her hips outward to avoid being cut by the
powerful swing despite Diana’s reflexes of blocking it, which by doing so left
her open, Xena elbowed Diana across the cheeks and Diana fell backwards from
the blow, Xena brought her sword down in an attempt to catch Diana across her
chest, but Diana rolled and brought her own sword up to block the blow and
then whirled her body so she spun on the floor and when she did she brought
her sword around to catch Xena across her legs with the blade, which was not a
deep cut but a cut enough to bring Xena down to the floor with her.

Diana then brought her sword up to try and catch Xena across the midsection,
but Xena still ready, brought her sword up and blocked the swing and then
caught Diana with the hilt of her own sword.

Diana went backwards again and landed on her backside, Xena was once again on
her feet and flying towards Diana with her sword readied for a strike that
Diana knew was going to hurt and hurt badly, seeing that even if she got out
of the way of most of the blade she was still going to feel something, so
with a catlike move Diana removed herself from the brunt of the strike and
Xena of course was ready for it and just as her sword was about to embed
itself into Diana’s shoulder, she flipped her wrist so that the hilt of the
sword now was poised to strike Diana’s shoulder, which Xena made sure that it
still hurt, by putting her strength behind it.

“ GODS!!” Diana screamed as she flew to the ground with Xena on top of her,
and this time she stayed down.

“You give Diana?” Xena asked as if she hadn’t heard or noticed the pain she
had just inflicted.

“ Yes! Get off!” Diana said as she tried to push Xena off of her with her one
arm, but Xena simply pushed the hilt of her sword further into Diana’s painful
shoulder.

“ AHH!!! XENA?!!” Diana shrieked as she now had tears forming in her eyes,
although trying not to let them fall seeing how it would feed Xena’s passion,
if she sensed fear.

“ Are those tears about to fall Diana?” Xena asked in a cold sort of tone.

“ I got something in my eye. “ Diana madeup.

Xena pushed harder into Diana’s shoulder and Diana brought her other hand
trying to get hold of Xena’s arm, but Xena grabbed Diana’s wrist and held it
firmly in her vice like grip.

“ Really, let me look Consort.” Xena said as she leaned forward and looked
into the Dilated eyes of Diana. “ Hmm...I don’t see anything, but FEAR!”

“No! It was something in it, I guess it worked it’s way out.”

“ I see.” Xena said with a deep penetrating Gaze into Diana’s eyes.

Then Xena leaned to one side of Diana’s head and whispered in her ear.

“ Now that I helped you Consort, I expect the favor to be returned.” Xena
evenly stated. as she continued to hold the hilt of her sword against Diana’s
now throbbing shoulder.

“ Ok,Ok, anything, just please move your sword?” Diana agreed without a second
thought. As the tears started to roll.

“ You have something else in your eyes?” Xena growled.

“ No, now it’s just my shoulder is really hurting, are you going to ease up
anytime soon?” Diana asked.

Xena let her eyes tell Diana the answer to what her plans were, and Diana ‘s
eyes went wide once again.

“Xena Please Not that, not now please?” Diana pleaded, as panic started rising
up in her.

“ I did you a favor, and you said anything.” Xena reminded Diana.

Just then Xena released her hold of Diana’s shoulder and at the same time she
flipped her over onto her belly, and when Diana tried to resist, Xena grabbed
her wrist and went to her feet holding and pulling Diana to her feet, she
pulled her over to the covered area of the Hall, where one of her thrones sat
and she reached into her weapons belt and pulled out a leather strap, she tied
Diana’s wrist together and then pushed Diana across the arm part of the
throne. Then she tied it on the otherside of the chair, and Diana was both
scared and turned on at the same time.

“Xena not here!”

“ Yes here, this is where I want you and this is where I shall have you
CONSORT.” Xena said as she stripped Diana of her leathers.

She tried to move around to the other side of the throne so as to sit in it,
but Xena caught her hips and held her in place.

“ Going somewhere Consort.”

Xena? come on now, wouldn’t this be much better for us if we were in our
chamber?” Diana tried reasoning.

“ Not when I want you here. “ Xena replied as she then layed her womaness
against Diana’s behind and using her legs to hold Diana in place she used her
hands to caress the smooth skin of Diana’s round behind.

Xena nipped at Diana’s neck and then sucked lightly on it as she ran her hand
around to the front of Diana’s flower where she slid her fingers though the
soft petals of Diana’s flower. Diana moaned at the touch and Xena bit into
Diana’s shoulder just as she moved her fingers to enter into Diana’s flower in
one smooth stroke.

Diana cried out when Xena went through her shield without any hesitation, and
then proceeded to thrust into her deeply and ardenly, as well as having Xena’s
teeth embedded in her shoulder.

“ GODS!!! Xena!!”

Diana’s passions were now just as lit as Xena’s as Xena knew it would be ,
seeing how ready Diana already was for her even before she started. Xena now
let go of Diana’s shoulders and bringing one of her hands up, Xena grabbed a
handful of Diana’s hair and pulled to turn her head around so she could look
into Diana’s eyes.

Diana knew what Xena was looking to see and so she closed her eyes to deny her
that satisfaction.

“ Open your eyes Consort.” Xena stated expecting Diana to obey without
protest.

But Diana only squeezed her eyes close tighter, and Xena sneered at the
action. She gripped Diana’s head more and commanded Diana once again.

“ Open your eyes Consort!”

DIana shook her head, and Xena stopped her other hand from thrusting into
Diana, by doing so Diana’s eyes relaxed but her brows knitted as she wondered
what Xena’s plan was.

Xena knew Diana was ready to experience her ecstasy, but now Xena was going to
get Diana to give her what she wanted.

“ If you want me to allow you release, I suggest you give me what I want,
now....open your eyes.”

Diana tried to turn her head but Xena held her tight.

“ Hmmmm....so you want to see who’s will is stronger, ok Consort, I’ll play.”
Xena growled in Diana’s ear that sent a shudder racing through her body.

Xena then begun kissing Diana’s neck and shoulders and back as she then
resumed filling Diana’s flower with her powerful long fingers. Diana moaned at
the renewed passion and dropping her head, down when Xena let go of her hair,
allowed her to think Xena would forget about wanting to see her eyes.

As Xena thrusted into Diana’s flower, she felt the first sign of Diana nearing
her peak, so with a thought she converted the tip of one of her fingers to
that of a miniaturized mouth without teeth and the others she thought them
into small tongues, Xena then thrusted into Diana to where the one finger tip
now connected to her core and was kissing gently upon it while the tongue
within caressed it, the others were going wild as they ravished the walls of
Diana’s flower.

“ HAAA, GODS!!! Xena??” Diana called asking for Xena’s approval.

But to her surprise Xena stopped kissing her neck and went to Diana’s ear once
again and this time she whispered. “ no Consort you may not release.” Then she
cocked her head at Diana as Diana turned her head with the intent to look at
Xena, to tell her she didn’t understand, but just as she was about to reveal
what Xena already knew, she shut her lids tighter and whipped her head back
around.

Xena’s gaze narrowed and she decided to push Diana.

“ Hmmm....resisting me huh, well I can keep....THIS up all day.” Xena stated
as she let her fingers tell Diana what she was talking about.

Diana gasped and was breathing rapidly and hard as she tried to focus her mind
on controlling her body. Xena saw it but simply changed the instrument that
filled Diana, she had now removed her fingers and converted them back to
normal and then thought up a phallus and thrusted it deep into Diana to her
core once again and this time the tip of the phallus sucked gently on Diana’s
core while the rest of it thrusted into Diana.

“ HaaA!! Gods! Please??!!” Diana moaned as her body shook violently, from the
utter need.

“ no.” Xena stated simply, as she saw the heavy perspiration Diana was doing
just trying to obey her command, not that Xena wasn’t perspiring, but again
Xena was use to controlling her body, so she planned to wait Diana out.

Xena thrusted deeply into Diana’s flower a few more time before she went back
to how she had started, so she removed herself from Diana’s flower and Diana
groaned at the painful loss.

“ Give me what I want Consort.” Xena stated as she replaced her strong fingers
into Diana’s flower once again, and then begun the deep penetration once
again.

Diana moaned at the overwhelming sensation that was running up and down her
spine and she was just nearing her peak when Xena slipped one of her fingers
out from within Diana and then begun to push against Diana’s newly deflowered
gate.

Diana stiffened at the pressure and begun to pull at the leather strap that
restrained her wrist.

“ Please Xena?” Diana pleaded.

“ I want you Consort and I shall have you, in all ways.

Xena felt Diana’s core begin to quiver more often than not and Xena leaned
forward over Diana’s body once again and this time she said in a warning
voice.

“ You won’t last too much longer, so I suggest you give me what I want.”

“ W.h.y...?”

“ Because I want you too.”

“ Haa..haaa...haaaa.haaa,...haa....Ok, ok Please?”

“ I’ll allow you to as soon as you give me what I want.” Xena said giving her
word.

Xena then grabbed Diana’s hair and Diana although her body was racing to the
finish line, she took her time opening her eyes, to allow Xena to see if the
passion Diana’s body was showing her matched the passion in her eyes.

Xena waited and as she did she pushed into Diana’s gate and Diana shrieked at
the entrance and her muscles spasmed around Xena’s finger, but Xena did not
wait for Diana’s muscles to relax instead she begun to thrust into Diana, in
both ways.

Diana had both pain and tremendous pleasure running through her now.
Then suddenly Xena pulled the finger out and placed the phallus against the
entrance.

Diana was trembling trying to deal with everything she was experiencing.

“ Open them Now! “ Xena ordered.

Diana was gripping the leather strap as her breathing was near
hyperventilation, Xena noticing it planted a searing kiss to Diana’s sweet
tender lips, which effectively slowed Diana’s respiration down, even though
her heartbeat was racing, her breathing was now deep and ragged.

Finally when Xena broke the kiss Diana’s eyes opened to Xena’s gaze. Xena
froze for a moment, and then she let her controlled passion explode, she
looked deeply into Diana’s Sapphired eyes, and stated through her teeth.

“ Keep them on me.” Then Xena’s eyes narrowed into that of a hunger type gaze
and Diana’s breathing begun to increase once again.

Xena continued to hold Diana’s hair, and then converting her fingers that were
within Diana’s flower to a phallus, she then thrusted into Diana a few more
times and finally she thrusted into Diana’s other gate.

Diana screamed and Xena claimed it with her mouth and Diana continued to
scream for a few minutes into Xena’s throat, while Xena thrusted into Diana.
Diana had closed her eyes for the moment, but then Xena ordered her to open
them.

Tears fell from Diana’s eyes when she did open them and Xena continued to
feast on Diana’s mouth as she locked her gaze on Diana’s eyes. Xena finally
broke the kiss and when she felt Diana start to move against her, she told
her, “ you can close them now.”

Diana didn’t close them right away but instead let the passion she was feeling
from the dual fillings show through her eyes. Xena saw the passion and fed on
it. She let go of Diana’s hair and she brought one of her hands around to
Diana’s breast where she changed the palm to that of a small mouth to which
she place over Diana’s taut peak. Xena knew the moment she took the peak it
would cause Diana to lose the already faded composure she had left, the
overstimulation to every area of Diana’s body would produce an even greater
orgasm than she has ever known.

When Xena’s hand took the peak into the mouth, Diana cried out her ecstasy as
Xena felt the tighting of Diana’s peak in her hand and the vice grip of the
spasm happening within Diana’s flower and the spasm of Diana’s other gate.
Xena felt the whole body orgasm glide through Diana’s body and it radiated to
her own and she cried out her release as both women shook violently, Xena
holding Diana tightly so as to experience all of Diana’s bodies response to
her own bodies responses.

As their bodies shook, they were taken to Ecstasies Mist, once there the
watchers turned and saw the one of the figures on their knees with a blade
protruding out of her chest, and one of the other figures catching the other
before she fell over to the ground and laying her in her lap, she saw the one
figure rapidly speaking to a third figure and then back to the injured figure.
The watchers turned to check on the two solid figures, which were still
experiencing whole body ecstasy.

Then they looked back at the ethereal figures and saw the one figure holding
the other put some cream of some sort onto the wound and then lifting her by
herself she carried the taller figure to a bedchamber and laid the figure on
the bed. The watchers saw the smaller woman lean over the other and place a
devoted type kiss to her lips and then whispered at the unconscious figure.

“ Don’t leave me, I will follow if you do. I love you.”

And then the smaller figure laid her head on the other’s shoulder and crawled
up next to her and cried herself to sleep.

The watchers then looked back at the two solid figures and saw the shakes
start to subside and turn to trembles and then quivers and finally
intermittent and then one of them went still while the other struggled to
untie the other and then positioned herself and the other onto the throne
sitting with the smaller one in the taller one’s lap.

The smaller one was already unconscious and the taller one covered the other
with her cloak that she had laid over the throne. Then she two slipped into
unconsciousness. The two remained unconscious for the next five days, and the
guards that were guarding the practice Hall were told before hand not to allow
anyone in the room irregardless of the reason, and they were not to come in
unless they were called.

When Xena finally awoke, she felt renewed and revivalized, she looked at the
precious bundle she was holding in her lap, and she could not help but smile
to herself. Xena took some of Diana’s hair in her hand and bringing it to her
nose she smelled the afterglow scent of Diana’s heavy perspiration in it,
along with the natural smell of hyacinth.

Xena nuzzled the lock of hair and then whispered in the sleeping woman’s ear.

“ You are so wonderful for me Diana.....mmm....mmm.” Xena said as she squeezed
Diana to her a little more.

Then she tested her legs to make sure they were as strong as they felt, and
once she discovered they were she stood up with Diana in her arms covered by
her cloak, Xena set Diana down on the throne just long enough for her to
straighten her clothing and then picking Diana up she strided to the door of
the Hall.

She then took Diana out of the hall and went to their chamber, where she had
Dancea and Ludmilla draw a bath and put some clothes out for Diana and her to
wear for the day, Xena was pleased that it was early morning when she awoke
later, she wanted to see the rountine of the day that would normally take
place at her other palace, she wanted to see if Diana had it setup the same
way or something entirely different.

While Xena was bathing Diana, Diana begun to arouse.

“ Mmmmm......” Diana moaned as she stretched and then she groaned at the
discomfort she felt when she hit her full stretch. “MMhmphff!”

“ Soooo.....how are you feeling sleepy head?” Xena asked as she continued to
bath Diana.

“ Like a war wagon loaded to bear ran over me and then stopped on top.” Diana
analogized.

“ Is that right?” Xena said with a smirk on her face.

“ What about you, how do you feel?” Diana asked with questioning brows raised.

“ Revived!” Xena expressed, with eyes lit.

“ Figures, your strengthen and I’m weaken, that’s fair.” Diana pouted.

Xena saw the pout and feeling so energized, she claimed Diana’s lips so
unexpectedly but yet so tenderly and passionately that the only thing Diana
could do was whimper at the lost of what little strength she had as she melted
into Xena’s passion. Xena broke the kiss with a smack of her lips, and then
she licked them and leaning to one side of Diana’s head she whispered.

“ I couldn’t resist kitten.”

Diana couldn’t say anything for long moments and when she finally did she
said, “ I think I need to rest for the day, if you don’t mind my passionate
lover?”

Xena smiled and then said in a light tone. “ No I don’t mind, but I need to
know how you have setup the routine of the running of this palace?”

“ Oh, it’s exactly the same as the other, I figure why change what works.”

“ Well in that case, yes you may rest for the day and I will handle the duties
of the palace. Hmmm....I don’t suppose there are any court duties needed just
yet are there?”

“ Nope, not yet.” Diana smiled.

“ Ok, let’s get you dressed and then I’ll go and take care of whatever needs
to be taken care of.”

Xena helped Diana dress, but then she decided to set the vile by the bed so if
Diana wanted or needed to use it to gain her strength back it would be
available.

“ I’ll send Gabrielle up to keep you company.” Xena suggested.

“ Great.”

Xena then was about to sit Diana down on the bed, but Diana held onto Xena’s
neck tightly when she realized how she was about to be placed.

“ NO! I mean, not like that, it’s a little uncomfortable still.” Diana stated
honestly.

Xena smirked at the blush that crept to Diana’s cheek from her embarrassment
of being sore.

“ Ok, kitten. There, how’s that?” Xena asked as she set Diana down on her
side.

“ Fine, thank you.”

Xena sucked her teeth as she held back the chuckle that was threatening to
erupt.

“ What?” Diana asked noticing the hidden meaning in the gesture.

“ Your just so adorable kitten, I’m sorry your sore, but you’ll have plenty of
opportunity to get use to the feeling.” Xena explained.

“ your kidding right?” Diana asked somewhat surprised by the statement.

“ Why would you think I was kidding?” Xena asked with knitted brows.

“ because, I thought the need for that was not as often?”

“ Right, but it is often enough, especially when we spar together.” Xena said
waggling her brows.

“ But how is that possible Xena? I mean we have been sparring together for a
while now, well at least ever since the first time Nebula came to the palace
with her proposal. Anyway, you didn’t seem to have this need then?”

“ that’s because it was still buried, although it has always been there, but I
didn’t allow myself to bring that to the surface, not knowing what you felt
about it, or what you would feel about me, anyhow, I still had control over
that side of me, until I found out Shatara was alive, the memory of her
submissiveness to my will was absolutely intoxicating.”

“ That’s why the first time I did that back in my time you couldn’t help but
behave the way you did, I mean, you forgave me for something that really
pissed you off, but my behaving the way I did, allowed you to feel the control
you had over me?”

“ Yes, but not HAD, HAVE, over you.” Xena corrected.

Diana nodded her head in reluctant agreement. Xena raised a brow, but said
nothing.

“ Alright I have to go and check things out, I’ll see you later tonight
kitten.”

“ Ok. Oh, Xena? Diana called.

“ Yes?”

“ Do you think you will be done in time to join me and Gabrielle for evening
meal?”

“ I don’t know, I wouldn’t think so at least not at first considering this is
a new place. I’ll have to see, but don’t wait on me, I may take a walk to see
some more of the land.”

“ Oh, well how about I go with you on your walk?” Diana suggested, forgetting
the discomfort she was in out of the desire to be with Xena.

“ That would be nice kitten, but I don’t think your quite up to it just yet,
do you?” Xena said as she lowered her line of site to Diana’s hip. Diana
blushed and then said, “ You got a point, I’ll see you later then.”

“ Ok, if you need me, just send me a thought, I shouldn’t be out of range, but
if I am, I’ll know.” Xena assured. “ Also, you know you can take a taste of
the vile, to get your strength back, but I know you don’t like using it unless
it’s absolutely necessary, that’s why I just lelf it there for you to have
available if you want it. It won’t take away the discomfort, just restore your
strength.”

“ I know, thanks.”

Xena then leaned over and placed a kiss to Diana’s lips, and they let their
love for one another flow through that embrace, then Xena broke it and running
a caressing hand over Diana’s cheek she left her with a vision of a smile on
her lips, and in her eyes.

Diana followed Xena’s hand as it was pulled away from her face. Xena winked
and then turned and strided out of the door leaving Diana with a smile on her
own face.Xena went to the Main throne room, where she would meet with advisors
that Diana had picked, as well as those from Xena’s other palace , as well as
some Emissaries from a far off Kingdom that Xena had not Conquerored for one
reason or another.
