...it
seemed like forever since Xena had seen her lover, and she longed
to feel the silkeness of her hair against her face. The nights
have been so long, and unforgiving lying alone in the darkness,
Gabrielle had gone to see her cousin in a village a couple days
ride from where she was staying. She thought it better that she
stay behind. She thought seriously about going to find her muse,
but knew she would be home soon, or at least that is what she
told her as there lips parted for the last time two weeks ago.
Sitting alone her mind wanders to the last time they made love.
"Ooh" she lets escape from her freshly moistened lips.
"Oh Gabrielle, come home, I miss you so much..." she
whispers nearly under her breath, as so even the Gods couldn't
hear Her. As the warrior recalls the encounter, her hand moves
slowly across her naked body, as she removes her familiar
leathers and begins gathering up her blankets to lie down on for
the night. Unable to controll Her thoughts any longer, she sits
down on a nearby tree stump and lets her mind take her away...but
only for a moment...

"Desire, Makes things happen..."
