Authors notes:  Ok, so some of you are going to read this and ask that question again…  What has gotten into our bard Susan? Well, I’ll tell you.  I decided to write/tell a story live on line for the Bard’s Village.  It was last minute and I just asked them for suggestions.  Well by the time it was done this is what I had to work with:  A Solstice Story…  a naked Xena in a Santa hat…  and a lot of excited bards waiting to see what I could do with it.

Well here’s the story that they got.  Deb Adams thanks for helping with the transcription.  You folks at the Bard’s Village made it a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Betas…  You are the best.

It had been snowing for the last five hours when Xena and Gabrielle arrived at the Inn.  They knew that they had to get there before sun down and made it with an hour to spare.  Walking into the Inn, our gals stood in the doorway and let the snowfall from their cloaks.

Cyrene spotted her girls right away and came running over to them.

“Xena,” said Cyrene, “I was so worried that you weren’t going to make it today.”  She gave Xena a big hug.

“Hello Mother,” replied Xena as she wrapped her arms around her.  “We were getting worried there for a bit too.  It’s really coming down out there.”

“Hi Cyrene,” said Gabrielle.  “Xena knew the kids were counting on us and made sure we would make it.  We left the stuff out in the stables.”

“Hi Cutie, glad to see you too,” said Cyrene as she enveloped the bard in a warm hug.

“I’m sure you two are cold and tired after such a long trip.  Why not go upstairs and relax for a bit while I get you some dinner.”

Xena looked at Gabrielle and said, “That would be great!  I think we could both use a nice warm bath.”

“Hmmm, that sounds like heaven to me,” replied the bard.

“Well, daughter, you know where everything is.  I’ll see you two in a candlemark or two.”

“Make that two Mother,” said Xena as she and Gabrielle started for the stairs.

Xena and Gabrielle went up the stairs and entered Xena’s old room.  Both of them removed their outerwear.

“I’ll go get the tub filled up.  Could you please get the soap and stuff out of the packs and meet me there in a few minutes?” asked Xena.

Gabrielle turned and smiled, “Sure, I’ll be there in just a minute to help you fill the tub.”

“Thanks, see you in a minute,” said the warrior.

Xena turned to leave the room but then turned back.  She walked up behind her partner and pulled her close to her body.

“You better not be long love or this could be torture.”

With that, the warrior captured the bard’s lips for a long sizzling kiss.

“Who needs a bath to warm up?” thought the bard.

She turned in her warrior’s arms and returned fire with fire, demanding entrance into the warrior’s mouth.

The two finally broke the kiss after realizing that things were way to warm and they were a bit over dressed.

Gabrielle started reaching for the bindings of Xena’s battledress.  As she started to work the ties, Xena grasped her hands and held her still.  She kissed the tip of Gabrielle’s nose and said, “Remember, the bath?”

Xena started heading for the door and one flustered bard looked on in confusion.  Suddenly Gabrielle’s brain kicked in…  “Oh, Bath!  Warm water.  Soapy suds.  Hot warrior.  I’m so there!”

She turned and started rummaging in the packs as she looked for the soaps and sponges.  “Hmmm, and the scented oil.”

The bard quickly gathered her supplies and dashed out of the room.  She walked unsteadily up the hall to the bathing room and let herself in.  What she saw made her mouth water.

There, in front of her was Xena, wearing nothing more than a smile and a red Senticles hat.  Her eyes traveled up and down her partner’s form taking her all in.  Gabrielle just stood there frozen in wonder that this goddess was her mate.

“Um, Gabrielle, you going to close the door?” asked the warrior.

Gabrielle nodded her head but didn’t move as she continued to look at Xena.

Xena smirked, walked up to the bard and closed the door behind her lover.  Xena then held her lover from behind and said, “I want you, and I’m going to have you… Now.”

The bard tried to respond but her throat had suddenly gone dry.  All she could do was nod her head.

Xena slowly undid the ties of Gabrielle’s halter and snaked her hands around front to cup her lover’s breast.  Slowly, Xena worked her way down Gabrielle’s neck, licking and nipping all the way.  She then moved back up to her ear and whispered, “Tonight Gabrielle, you are my Solstice gift.  I’m going to unwrap it right now, and I intend on playing with it all night long.”

Xena continued to play with the hardened peaks in her hands.

Gabrielle wanted to lean into the hands of the woman and yet, at the same time, she wanted to move back into the warm body.

Xena seemed to sense this and resolved the problem by simply pulling her bard in close.

Gabrielle moaned at the full contact of Xena’s body against hers and wanted to turn in her lover’s arms.  Xena, however, had other ideas.

“Don’t move Gabrielle, you’re mine, and I plan on playing with my toy tonight.”

Xena continues to knead with her right hand as she moves her left hand down Gabrielle’s firm stomach.  She slowly started working the leather binding on the red leather skirt.  Slowly she brings her other hand down to join its mate and relieves her bard of the offending garment.  She lowers them to the floor and rises, running her fingers up along the bard’s bare flesh.

Again she pulls the bard in close and cups her mound, already damp with arousal.  Xena smiles and starts to nibble Gabrielle’s ear.

Gabrielle slightly spreads her legs giving Xena more access to her nether region hoping for much more contact.

Xena tests the waters and slowly starts to stroke her.

Gabrielle’s breathing starts to pick up and wants more contact.  She again tries to turn around.

“Some toys just don’t work the way you want them too,” smiled Xena as she firmly picked up a very startled Gabrielle.

She walked over to the bench near the steaming tub and lowered her lover onto the bench.  She then said, “Stay!” as she climbed into the tub with the soap and sponge.

Gabrielle’s eyes were a deep forest green and Xena could see the desire burning there.  She dipped the sponge into the water and lathered it.

“Well, now Gabrielle,” purred Xena.  “I want to show you something.”

Xena started moving the sponge across her bronzed body.  Trails of suds were left behind and slowly started to make their way down the warrior.

Gabrielle watched as the soap traveled the plains and valleys of her lover and wanted to join them. 

She started to move off of the bench but Xena gave her a look and said, “Not yet.”

The bard watched on, her lower lip sticking out in a pout.

Xena continued to move the sponge along her body and watched as the desire continued to build in Gabrielle’s eyes.  She could see the small blond was shaking trying to contain herself.

Fully covered in soap she walked up to the bard and lowered herself into the water.  Standing again she smiled and said, “Would you like some of this?”

Gabrielle decided that she was not going to be held back anymore and leapt for the warrior.  Xena was prepared for this and caught the very aroused bard.  Their lips locked and Gabrielle demanded entrance into her lover’s mouth.  There was no refusal and a battle ensued.  Gabrielle wrapped her legs around the warrior and held on tight.  She was not going to be denied this time.

The warrior felt the warm wetness of her lover against her stomach and crushed her body closer.  The kiss was no longer a kiss but a hunger.

Xena once again moved to the padded bench and tried to place the bard on it.  She was going to have her present NOW.

She lowered her lover on to the bench and then carefully unwound her legs from behind her waist.

Gabrielle made another grab for Xena but was gently pushed back down onto the bench.  “Such impatience,” purred the warrior.

“Now,” kissed the nose, “I’m” kissed the lips, “going” kissed the cheek, “to have you.”  At which point she closed her mouth over Gabrielle’s breast.

Gabrielle moaned and arched her back into the kiss.  Xena used her left hand to caress the other breast.  She continued to suckle and no the breast until she heard Gabrielle whimper.

Xena stopped her attach on the right breast and smiled at her lover.  “Oh, I’m such a bad warrior.  I’ve been neglecting something haven’t I?”

Gabrielle, breathing hard said, “YES!”

“Well, I’ll just have to correct that right now,” purred the warrior.

She shifted her body and started to suckle on the left breast.

Gabrielle moaned in pleasure and groaned in frustration at the same time.  She needed the warrior and needed her badly.

Xena continued to enjoy her Solstice gift when she heard more whimpers coming from her soulmate.  She knew it was time and slowly started moving down the bard’s stomach, kissing and nipping as she went. 

Finally she arrived at her destination and inhaled the heady fragrance that showered her how much Gabrielle wanted her.  Xena kissed one inside thigh and then the other.  Slowly she started to move around the mound of her lover.  And ever so gently tasted her essence.

She gently parted her folds and stroked the length of her with her tongue.  She circled the hard little nub and ever so gently flicked it with the tip of her tongue.

The bard’s hips rose off the bench and she moaned loudly.  She wanted more.

Xena settled in and started to feast on the meal her bard provided for her.  Slowly she swirled her tongue around and teased her lover’s opening.

“Xena,” panted the bard.

Xena stopped what she was doing and looked up, “Yes Love?”

“Please.  Gods Xena.  Please…”

“Now that’s an invitation that I can’t refuse,” purred a very happy warrior and she returned to her pleasurable task.

Xena continued to pay attention to the hard nub as she slowly inserted a finger into the bard’s center.

Gabrielle moaned and mucked her hips as she tried to draw Xena’s finger further into herself.

Xena could feel the start of the throbbing in her bard’s center and added another finger, stroking her lover ever faster.  She captured the bud in her lips and started to suckle as a third finger was added into the warm cavern.

The bard was meeting her stroke for stroke and was so close to the edge.

Xena suckled hard on the nub and thrust in at the same time.

The bard arched her back exclaiming, “Gods, Xeeenaaa!”

Xena continued to stoke her bard, slowing the pass and letting her love ride out her climax.

Gabrielle slowly regained her breath as Xena moved up her body.  She then captured her lover’s lips in a tender kiss.

Xena cradled her love to her and gently lifted her up and settled into the still hot waters of the tub.

The bard snuggled close to the warrior as the warrior moved the sponge over her body.

“I just love Solstice gifts, don’t you?” asked the warrior.

“Xena, you can have a solstice gift every day of the cycle.” pants a still slightly winded bard.  “I love you.”

“I love you too Gabrielle.  Happy Solstice.”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
