“Besides if I can make it through this with
just your parents, then I ought to be good when we get to
Ithaca,” Xena said and Ulysses looked at her.
“I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that,”
Ulysses said and Xena looked at him. “Oh Ulysses don’t
tell me I have to wait more months until you come back
again,” Xena said as she sat up some and he sat up also,
“no, no its nothing like that,” he said and she looked
at him as she held the sheet to her chest. “Then what is
it?” She asked, “well we have to leave in a week
because of what happened with the war and everything. My father
doesn’t want to leave the kingdom unattended for too
long,” Ulysses said and Xena nodded. “Okay,” she
said and he looked at her as he toyed with her fingers,
“you’re okay with leaving your family that soon?”
Ulysses asked and Xena grinned at him, “it’s not like
I’ll be leaving them forever,” Xena said then thought
about that for a minute.

 

 

“I won’t be, will I?” She asked
and Ulysses grinned as he shook his head, “no, you’ll
be able to come and visit them as much as you want and they can do
the same.” He said and Xena grinned and nodded,
“besides I’ll be seeing them I’m assuming in a
couple of months when we start getting ready for the
wedding,” Xena said and Ulysses nodded. “I’m a
guy, I know nothing about weddings so it’s all up to you when
you want to have it?” Ulysses said as he laid back down and
Xena looked at him, “I’m not going to make all the
decisions myself concerning OUR wedding,” Xena said to
Ulysses, stressing our when she said it. He looked at her then
grinned as he rolled her onto her back lying between her legs and
Xena laughed at Ulysses, “all I’m saying is I think
it’ll be better if you choose when you want to have it and
everything else we’ll do together,” Ulysses said and
Xena looked into his eyes as she ran her fingers through his
hair.

 

 

“You promise?” Xena asked and he
grinned at her, “I promise,” he said and she smiled as
she bit down on her lower lip as she rose up and kissed him some.
“Can I bring Gemini and Argo?” Xena asked after the
kiss ended and Ulysses nodded then initiated the next kiss. As they
kissed Xena wrapped her arms around Ulysses intent on deepening the
kiss which is what happened. Ulysses moaned as Xena rolled him onto
his back pushing his head down into the pillow as she pushed her
tongue into his mouth. “Mmmm,” Ulysses moaned as he ran
his fingers through Xena’s hair while his other hand pulled
on the sheet which was the barrier between his body and hers.
“Ummm,” Xena moaned as Ulysses succeeded in pulling the
sheet free and now his hands were running all over her body as he
rose up some trying to keep the kiss as deep as it was. A few
minutes later Xena finally broke the kiss for air and she was
breathing hard as she tilted her head back and moaned as Ulysses
began kissing, sucking and nipping on her neck.
