“See ya later,” Ulysses said as he
headed back downstairs and Cyrene grinned and shook her head, then
went back to preparing breakfast. Ulysses walked back into
Xena’s bedroom closing and locking the door behind him and he
grinned as he saw Xena lying on the bed with her foot on the bed,
the sheet barely covering her thigh. She grinned at Ulysses as she
crooked her finger at him and he smiled as he took off his pants
and got into the bed lying between her legs, while they shared a
passionate kiss. An hour later, a sweaty Xena lay on top of an
equally sweaty Ulysses, “wow,” Xena said and Ulysses
smiled as he placed a kiss on Xena’s forehead. “That
was definitely great,” he said and Xena grinned as she raised
her head a little then kissed Ulysses softly and he moaned as he
used the back of his fingers to caress Xena’s cheek.

 

 

When the kiss ended Xena laid her head back down,
“you know we should be getting up,” Ulysses said and
Xena groaned as she pushed into him. “Yea, just give me a
couple of minutes,” she said and Ulysses grinned as he
caressed Xena’s back. “Hey,” he called after a
minute, “hmmm?” Xena answered and Ulysses smoothed her
hair back as he kissed her forehead, “I love you,” he
said then smiled when he felt Xena smile against his chest.
“I love you too,” Xena said then raised her head and
looked into Ulysses’ eyes and he looked into hers. “You
are so beautiful and I am so in love with you,” Ulysses
whispered and Xena grinned. “Umm…you’re not so
bad yourself and I’m deeply in love with you,” Xena
said causing Ulysses’ to chuckle. They clowned around for a
bit then relaxed for a while more before they got up, took a shower
and got dressed.

 

 

“We were wondering if you guys were ever
going to get up,” Cyrene said as Xena and Ulysses walked into
the kitchen. Ulysses placed a kiss on his mother’s cheek,
before he sat down at the table next to his father and Virgil sat
next to Marguerite. “So I hear congratulations are in
order,” Corrinna said to Xena, as Xena walked over to the
stove, where Corrinna stood next to Cyrene. Xena smiled and nodded,
“yea,” she said then held up her hand so that Corrinna
could see the ring and Corrinna held Xena’s hand in her own
as she looked at the ring. “This is beautiful, Ulysses you
did a great job,” Corrinna said and he grinned at her.
“Nothing’s too much for the woman I love,” he
said and Xena grinned as she looked at Ulysses who winked at her
causing her to smile. Marguerite and Julian watched the interaction
and they had plans on talking to Ulysses later on about the
decision he had made.
