“I hadn’t planned on doing it today, I
actually wanted it to be special but just being with her today and
seeing her, I couldn’t wait any longer. I love her so
much,” Ulysses said then looked at Virgil. “You are
okay with this aren’t you?” Ulysses asked and Virgil
looked at him, “of course I am. I’m happy for
you,” Virgil said and Ulysses grinned as he shook Virgil hand
and then they leaned in for a hug. When the hug ended they talked a
while longer and then Virgil went up to his room. Ulysses stayed
out for a few more minutes to look up at the stars then turned his
head when Xena cleared her throat. He grinned when he saw her
leaning against the door frame and she did nothing but smile at him
as she held her hand out to him. Ulysses walked over to her placing
his hand in hers, following her as they walked into the
kitchen.

 

 

“Goodnight you two,” Cyrene said,
“goodnight,” they both replied as they headed down the
stairs to Xena’s room. Gemini jumped up on Ulysses once he
was in the room and Xena grinned as she closed and locked the door
behind her. Ulysses sat down in a chair and took of his boots, then
began unbuttoning his shirt taking it off and placing it on the
chair, then he continued to play with Gemini. While he did that
Xena went around the room placing a few candles around, then lit
them. When she was done, she walked over to Ulysses who was now by
the bed and she stood in front of him and looked into his eyes.
Ulysses looked into Xena’s eyes then closed his eyes as she
ran her hands over his chest and he let out a breath when she
placed a kiss there. When she was done, he opened his eyes and
looked into hers, “you really want me to be your wife?”
Xena asked as she caressed his chest and he nodded, “I love
you so much Xena and I really want you to be my wife for the rest
of out lives.”

 

 

He said and Xena grinned as she looked into his
eyes, “do you want me to be your husband?” He asked and
Xena grinned, “I do. I always thought I would never get
married but when I look into your eyes, I know that we are meant to
be,” Xena said and Ulysses smiled. “That’s all I
needed to hear,” he said then leaned in and kissed Xena
softly but passionately. They stood there for a while kissing and
as they kissed, Ulysses began to slowly peel Xena’s clothes
off of her with her help. When she was in nothing but her
underwear, Ulysses scooped Xena up into his arms and she grinned as
she wrapped her arm around his shoulder. “My hero,” she
whispered to him with a grin on her face and he grinned then moaned
as she leaned in and kissed him softly. Ulysses turned and walked
the few more feet over to the bed where he gently deposited Xena,
then lay down half on her and half on the bed as they continued to
kiss.
