Xena warded off the innrats with one glance as she strode through the smoky
room. The assorted traders, craftsmen and cutthroats lurking in the gin-soaked
shadows were content to let the tall warrior pass -- it was late, they were
drunk, and she was spooky as hell anyway.
Xena was targeted on Gabrielle, seated at a corner table, a glowing candle
in these murky depths. The corner of Xenas mouth lifted as she reached
the table -- she was rarely subject to such lyrical thoughts, but this bard
did inspire lyricism.
Gabrielles summons had been urgent, though, so it was time to address
priorities. She lifted one long leg over a stool and sat. Are you all
right?
Im good.
Okay, Xena thought. White as a sheet, but good. Her voice grew gentle. Did
you hear from your family?
Gabrielle raised her eyes from the table for the first time. Xena, theres
a darkness in you I cant forgive anymore. Gods, it came out so studied.
Breathe, Gabrielle. Keep eye contact and breathe.
Xena just looked at the girl, waiting. Every mental shield the warrior had
ever wielded slammed down around her, tight.
Im sorry. Ive tried. Gabrielle swallowed, and heard
a dry clicking in her throat. Her words sounded mechanical, she must focus.
I love you. I always will. But when you touch me, I feel blood on your
hands.
Like a knife gritting deep into spine. Xena thought about it. Yeah, that was
exactly how this felt. Ive been expecting it, gods know. But Id
better get out of here before I go straight for her throat or burst into tears.
Which would be worse?
Bed is . . . . Here her adroit bard faltered, and her mist-green
eyes dropped. Bed is sweet. I know that. Beneath the table, Gabrielle
dug her fingernails into her knee. But we have to stop. The darkness in
you is too strong, Xena. Her bare shoulders hunched forward, wrapping
around her. Something about -- the way you take me, the rough sex, it
brings it out. If I stay with you, youll lose control one night. Sooner
or later -- youre going to hurt me.
There, that was the crossbow bolt, released fast and clean. Gabrielle watched
it slam home into the base of Xenas throat; the warrior was motionless,
but her throat moved when she swallowed. Gabrielle didnt dare lift her
eyes to see the very real crossbows targeted on her lovers back. Xena
would have sensed them long ago, if her senses hadnt been swamped with
emotion.
She couldnt avoid Gabrielles assault -- Xena had walked into her
ambush wide open and unprotected. And Gabrielle went for her juglar, she had
no choice. She had to get the warrior princess out of here, and far away, now.
Gabrielles hands clenched on the table urgently.
I want you to leave me. Gabrielle spoke as deliberately and ruthlessly
as she would have used her hands to extract a poisoned arrowhead from her lovers
flesh. Ride out tonight. Im going to Athens, Xena, to the Academy.
Dont follow me. This has to be a clean break. I do not want to see you
again. But I want one promise.
A promise, Xena murmured.
Listen to me. You have to take care of yourself. Gabrielle leaned
forward and lowered her voice, the sternness in her now entirely genuine. Dont
go off and make yourself sick over this. You have to eat. And sleep. And cover
yourself with a blanket, when it snows. Gabrielle gripped the warriors
wrist suddenly, her fingers ice-cold. I know you, okay? I know what Im
doing to you. And you have to promise me you wont let your grief in the
next few months kill you. Mourn if you have to, but let me go, and live. Its
all Ive ever asked of you, Xena. You must promise.
Gabrielle went still, intent on Xenas face. A carpenter lounging by the
bar happened to glance at her, and his glass stopped half-way to his lips. She
was a beautiful girl, her honey-gold hair tumbling over her shoulders, the line
of her cleavage clearly visible above the green halter. And the way she was
looking at that big banshee -- man! If those emerald eyes turned on me Id
be a puddle on the floor. The carpenter raised his glass sadly to Xena, saluting
her, and then downed his gin.
Xena watched the play of tendons on the back of her partners hand. A
quiver of relief ran through her. The words she needed were coming to her, she
could speak her heart. She hadnt traveled with a bard for three years
for nothing.
Thank you, for your honesty, Gabrielle. Ill try to take care of
myself. Xena pushed back the stool, her wrist sliding from Gabrielles
grasp, and stood. She looked down at the top of the red-gold head. She waited,
and finally Gabrielle lifted her face to her. Xena watched the slow progress
of a single tear down the girls cheek. She smiled down at her, and then
leaned forward and braced herself on the table with her hands, her lips next
to Gabrielles ear. When she spoke her voice was a whisper, rich with warmth:
I will love you to the end of my days, and beyond. If you ever need
help, send for me. My sword will always defend you and yours. Thank you for
lighting my life for three years, with the most sweetness Ive ever known.
Goodbye, Gabrielle.
Unhurried, Xena slid her hand beneath Gabrielles thick hair and cupped
the back of her neck. Gabrielle didnt flinch at the stark chill of her
palm -- she couldnt take her gaze from the kind eyes above her. Xena brushed
her lips against Gabrielles full ones. She did it again, lightly, and
Gabrielles parted. The bards tongue snaked out and sought the safe
cave of her lovers mouth, greedily. Xena accepted her, sheltered her,
sucking gently, until she could soften again. Then she lifted her head, rested
her lips briefly between Gabrielles brows, and then released her.
Gabrielle sat there, staring at her hands, flat on the splintered surface of
the table. The image trebled in her eyes as tears filled them, then fell, dotting
the old wood. She didnt have to look up to know Xena was gone.
A rough male hand nudged the bards bare shoulder. She rose, keeping her
eyes downcast because she knew who watched her, and followed the soldier through
the smoky darkness to the stairs, that led up to Callistos chamber.
I wonder how many innocent lives you saved tonight.
Callisto circled the bard, who stood quietly in the middle of the candle-lit
room. Hands behind your head, please.
Gabrielle obeyed.
Not just that butch-dyke bully of yours, though shed be screaming
on the end of my sword right now, if not for you. But all the pathetic, sheep-like
villagers Xena will live to protect in the years to come. Because of your noble
sacrifice. Callisto came around in front of Gabrielle, enjoying the flex
of the taut muscles of her upper arms, stretched by her position.
Spread your legs.
Gabrielle shifted, placing her feet as widely apart as possible. She kept her
green eyes focused on nothing, staring into the shadows ahead of her. She was
dead inside.
Callisto withdrew a dagger from her belt and began to cut off the bards
clothing. She stripped her slowly, purring as the wicked blade hissed through
cloth, baring the young womans breasts, her hips. Finally Callisto backed
up a few steps to see her creation, standing naked in the middle of the room,
her white body glowing red in the candlelight.
The lush swells and curves of Gabrielles body could have been sculpted
from finest marble, they were so beautiful. Even Callistos withered soul
swelled briefly with life, watching the firelight dance across Gabrielles
large breasts, pulled erect by her lifted arms. The girls face was austerely
lovely, carefully expressionless, the jaw set in a grim line of endurance. She
dared meet Callistos gaze, now, staring at her in silent defiance as she
stood spread before her.
Why, Gabrielle, youve become a woman. Callistos musical
tone danced with mock admiration. And all this time, Ive thought
you a little girl. A girl Xena rapes nightly. This will take some adjustment.
Her brow furrowed as she strolled to the bard.
I suppose these are womanly enough. Callisto flicked a finger across
Gabrielles breasts, but her eyes moved to the furred triangle between
her wide-spread legs. This is what Ive come for, though. Xenas
Golden Snatch. Thats what we call you, Gabrielle. All of Xenas enemies.
Her rich, creamy little bard-snatch. Callisto smiled down into the still
green eyes as her fingers touched her, probing. Youve started to
get wet, sweetling. Are you very sure you didnt send Xena away because
you wanted this, wanted me?
Gabrielle spat in her face. Callisto jerked back, splattered with saliva and
rabid with rage. She lifted her hand, and Gabrielle snarled at her mindlessly.
Callisto slapped her to the floor with one sharp blow. She landed on her back
at Callistos feet, and felt the blonde woman place one black boot at either
side of her waist.
Gabrielle braced herself on her elbows, knowing, and not caring, that her breasts
swelled under Callistos gaze.
Beg me to fuck you, little slut. Callisto didnt touch her,
she just looked down at her, pinned between her booted ankles. Say it.
Say the words. Tell me to rub you, and lick you, and rape you until you scream.
Its going to happen anyway, Gabrielle. If you go shy on me, your warrior
dies, horribly. Tell me what you want.
The green eyes sparked with rage, a deep, banked anger that her love struggled
mightily to subdue. She made herself lie still, her breasts offered , the nipples
beginning to quiver. She thrust them toward Callisto, a contemptuous challenge.
Bite me, Gabrielle hissed.
Callistos knees hit the floorboards on either side of Gabrielles
waist, and still the bard didnt flinch.
Count on it, Callisto whispered, taking the girls nipple
in her lips.
*******
It was sometime during the second night. Gabrielle had lost track of time. Shes
safe, she thought. I kept her safe.
Callisto had made her kneel, clasp her hands behind her back, and then lower
her upper body across three woven lengths of fishline that were strung across
two chairs. The harsh cords dug into her breasts, suspending her chest an inch
from the floor. She hung, tense and rigid, her nipples barely blushing the wooden
floorboards, the full weight of her upper body forcing the strands deeply into
her breasts. Callisto made her keep her chin lowered so she had to look at them,
the white flesh bulging through the constricting line.
It was one of Callistos favorite ways to make her wait.
The blonde warlord sat, fully clothed, in a wide chair across the room, listening
to the soft grunting emerging in Gabrielles breath, as she struggled to
lift her shoulders to ease the strain on her breasts.
Down, she intoned mildly, and Gabrielle forced herself to relax,
catching her lower lip in her teeth as her nipples scraped the floor again.
Callisto giggled, pleased with her new protege. She watched the red play of
firelight over the flexing muscles of Gabrielles back. But after a few
minutes, Callisto yawned, bored. All right, dear. Turn over.
Gasping, Gabrielle straightened. It was a hideous process. With her hands clasped
behind her, she had to jut her buttocks into the air to lift her body, and she
knew how Callisto relished her brief writhing. Moving as quickly as she could
without appearing insolent, she spun on her knees and lay back down, this time
draping her upper back over the suspended lines. She lifted her arms over her
head and lowered them, so that the back of her hands rested against the dusty
floor. Now she lay with her breasts jutting into the air, the fishline digging
into her shoulderblades. She tried to quiet her breathing, and drew her tongue
across her dry lips.
Thank the gods, she had moved quickly enough this time. She wouldnt have
to listen to another bloody, loving description of Xenas torture at Callistos
hands. Callisto told Gabrielle these stories while she played with her body,
as if hearing her sadistic ramblings would arouse her, but the images she invoked
only made the bard shudder with horror. Callisto didnt seem to mind that,
either.
She could hear Callisto walking around her, the slow clocking of her boots
on wood. She could feel those sparkling brown eyes on her, on her breasts.
At first, her breasts had stung and sang as she lifted them off the line. Now
they buzzed warmly, white and red splotches covering them, the pink nipples
enormous. Gabrielle tried again to quiet her breathing, and she tried to rest.
She was conserving her strength. Callisto was conserving it, too, which unnerved
Gabrielle. The madwoman hadnt physically harmed her. Her skin had not
been broken, and if she bore marks, it was because her fair skin bruised easily.
Callisto forced her to eat and drink from her hands, kneeling naked beside her
as she fed her. Any refusal would bring on another description of Xena dragged
naked through a bed of glowing embers. She was allowed to take care of personal
toilet needs, and bathing, though not unobserved. She was made to brush out
her hair frequently, keeping it tumbling lush, full and soft around her naked
shoulders.
I am, Gabrielle thought, as physically healthy as I was when I tore Xenas
heart with my tongue last night in the lower room. My spirit is already dying,
but its going to take my body a hellishly long time to get the idea. Gabrielle
glanced down her flushed body in sorrow, then turned her head on the floor,
her eyes closing. Im so strong. This could last forever. There are many
inns in Greece.
She had not been penetrated yet. Gabrielle tried to lift one shoulderblade
off the biting fishline, but succeeded only in making her breast bounce and
quiver. She knew Callisto missed nothing, and she forced herself to lie still.
No penetration, but everything else had been done to her. She had been forced
to do everything. (Or so she thought -- Gabrielle had not even a ghost of an
idea how rich were the depths of Callistos imagination.) But she had been
spared intercourse. Gabrielle smiled, her eyes still closed, her naked breasts
jutting upward, grimly amused at the proper word that appeared in her raging
mind. Tell the truth. She hadnt been fucked yet. But she would be. Soon,
Gabrielle thought, turning her head as Callisto stood up.
Her slow, gliding approach was interrupted by a muted knock at the door. Gabrielle
was so startled she began to sit up, and Callistos dagger was in her hand
in an instant. She whirled and threw the knife, hard. Only blind instinct saved
the bard, instincts honed through years with a dark warrior. She jerked her
knees apart with a cry, and the knifeblade thudded into the wood an inch from
the jerking slit of her pussy.
Lie down, Callisto hissed, pausing a moment to enjoy how Gabrielle
tried to widen her knees to distance herself from the blade, exposing her clit
briefly. Ill be back, she promised, a little breathless herself,
after that.
The conference in the hallway was swift and furious. Callisto slammed back
into the room, and Gabrielle could hear the muffled thuds of a flailing soldier
tossed down the stairs. His booted footsteps raced into silence.
Callisto crossed the room to her in three long strides. She bent and retrieved
the dagger, jerking it out of the wood, and then threw herself full-length on
top of Gabrielles body. Her crotch slapped solidly over her exposed cunt,
her leather-covered breasts smothered the naked ones beneath her. Gabrielle
gasped in pain as the thin cords dug into her back.
Listen to me. Are you listening?
Yes, Gabrielle stammered.
Xenas here. And I will cut off your nipple if you move again.
Gabrielle rested the backs of her hands on the floor once more, but it was
very, very difficult.
They keep hitting her and she keeps coming. Callistos spit-flecked
lips smiled in reluctant respect, and for a moment Gabrielle remembered Callistos
beauty. Shes fought through three patrols, trying to get to you.
Thats twenty-seven soldiers. Theyve beaten the hell out of her.
Shes coming anyway.
Callisto --
Shut up. Callisto showed her the dagger, and then pressed the tip
of it gently against Gabrielles right nipple. She watched the tight bud
swell and fill with color against the cold steel. Theyre bringing
her in here. I want her to see you. I want her to see us, together. And I want
her to see you having a very, very good time.
She traced a circle around the girls nipple with the tip of the blade,
very lightly, not breaking the skin. Gabrielle caught her lower lip in her teeth,
until Callisto tapped her cheek with her free hand.
Dont bite. She waited until Gabrielle met her gaze. You
can fight me. You can tell Xena about our little agreement. And from what I
hear of the shape shes in, I can subdue her, and drag her up here in front
of you and slit her gizzard while you watch...
No. Gabrielle forced the words out in spite of buzzing of the sharp
steel tickling her other nipple. Callisto, no! Dont -- please --
Sweet Artemis, was she begging? Gabrielle shuddered in revulsion, hearing the
frightened entreaty in her own voice.
Okay. Callisto smiled down at her, winked, and then bobbed her
head to bat the flat of her tongue once against the girls left nipple.
Cmon, bardie, lets get ready!
Callisto leaped up, grabbed Gabrielles wrist, and pulled her erect. She
dragged her to the center of the room and put her in position -- her right hand
covering her mons, the fingers of her left hand spread over the swells of her
breasts in a parodied attempt to conceal them, both hips and chest jutting forward
in her arched-back stance, legs spread.
Perfect, Callisto breathed, as she heaved and tugged the heavy
iron-wood bed to the middle of the chamber. Only the galvanized sexual power
streaking through her gave her the strength to move the huge thing, but she
managed to position it just behind Gabrielle.
She darted around and set the wide armchair in front of the motionless young
woman. Then she scurried onto the red-sheeted bed itself, reveling in the cool,
tight expanse of the bottom sheet under her ass. Callisto snuggled up against
the stack of pillows at the head, and regarded the scene dreamily. When the
knock sounded on the door, she jerked her head impatiently and yelled, Come!
Then she giggled. You can consider that an order, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle stood with her back to the bed, holding position, the tense half-moons
of her buttocks shifting under the strain of her arched back. She looked like
Aphrodite done right, Callisto thought, pleased. Immediately in front of Gabrielle
was the chair. She would be the first thing Xena saw when she came to -- which,
Callisto thought, probably wouldnt happen for awhile.
Callisto frowned. Geeze, they had pounded the poor bitch! Xena sagged unconscious
in the grip of two guards, her feet dragging across the floor as they carried
her toward the chair. Her thick, dark hair was tousled wildness, her face streaked
with dirt and blood. Her leathers were covered with dust and small patches of
blood from minor wounds. Her muscular arms were banded with darkening bruises,
and covered with a light sheen of sweat.
One of the guards stumbled, and Xenas inert form fell heavily to the
floor. In the same instant, a cry of fury erupted from Gabrielle.
The bard threw herself down beside Xena, lifting the warriors head into
her lap even as Callistos enraged bellow shattered the air. Her shadow
loomed over the bard and the fallen fighter, but the green fire streaking from
Gabrielles eyes stopped even Callisto in her tracks.
This was not our agreement, the girl hissed, her fingers flexing
on Xenas shoulders, her bare breasts heaving over her battered face.
Youre not in any position to renegotiate, bitch! Callisto
snarled, twisting her fingers in Gabrielles tumbling hair.
She goes free, Callisto. In that moment, the Amazon queen was in
command. You release her, and she goes free. And whole. Or I swear to
you, Ill open my throat with my own fingernails, Ill bite open my
wrists. Ill die, and escape you somehow.
Well. Callisto perched her free hand on her hip in pretended perplexity.
She lifted her boot to nudge the warriors thigh, and laughed in delight
when Gabrielle surged over Xenas body, shielding it with her own at the
supposed threat. I must admit, seeing the Golden Snatch sprawled naked
over her bleeding lover is almost worth this interruption.
Callisto grinned at the two soldiers who had been Xenas escort. She strolled
around behind Gabrielle, and looked down at her body, extended over Xenas
still form. Split me a little beaver, kiddo.
Callisto, Gabrielle whispered.
I said . . . show me some bardsnatch, Gabrielle, or Ill make you
hold Xenas legs apart while I ram my fist up hers.
Gabrielle lowered her head and parted her knees widely. She arched her back,
hard, exposing the opening of her vagina. She held the position, trembling,
feeling the cold air on her wetness and listening to the guards snickering.
Nothing like a little restored authority. Callisto snatched Gabrielle
off of Xena with the fist twined in her hair. She dragged her to the wide bed,
and then threw her on top of it. On your knees, little one.
Gabrielle struggled to comply, her eyes on Xenas face on the floor below.
She stiffened as she saw the guards lift Xenas limp body into the wide
chair, and bolt her wrists to the manacles on its arms. Oh gods, no,
she whispered, not knowing shed spoken the words aloud until she heard
the hot breath of Callistos laughter on her shoulder.
The warlord was kneeling on the bed behind her. She snuck one leathered arm
around Gabrielles waist and pulled her up, erect against her, her small
breasts poking into the girls back.
Xenas going to see you come. Im going to make you. No faking,
little bard, youre going to explode all over me. Callistos
voice broke with excitement, but she managed to inject reassurance into her
next words. Do a good job, and your pervert over there will be thrown
in a wagon, driven three leagues away, and dumped outside some village in the
sticks As is. Calllisto tilted her head, regarding Xenas sprawled
form in the chair, a panthers power restrained, and then she nodded. Shes
strong, shell live. Which is more than I can say for her if you dont
let me tickle your slit in a moment. Do we have an understanding.?
Yes, Gabrielle whispered.
And Im not doing all the work, Callisto breathed into her
ear, her breath moving the golden hairs on Gabrielles cheek. You
do the talking. All of it. Convince Xena its what you want. Convince her,
or see her bleed. Make her believe it.
Gabrielle turned her head against the base of Callistos throat. Kill
me, she pleaded.
Never, honied one. Never.
Xena stirred, and Gabrielle closed her eyes. She couldnt see it, the
look on Xenas face when she saw her kneeling on the bed, naked, in Callistos
arms. She knew when that blue gaze focused on her. A moment later there was
a high shrieking of wood as Xena tried to pry her arms free from the manacles
screwed into the arms of the chair.
But shutting out the sight was cowardice, and Xenas lifemate was no coward.
Gabrielle opened her eyes and lifted her head. She looked Xena full in the face.
Her green eyes moved over her lovers battered features, wincing at the
blood, her throat tightening. Xena was hurt -- badly, from the looks of her.
Gabrielle craned her neck, trying to see more of Xenas body, but stilled
when Callistos arm tightened across her waist and pinned her against her.
Xena had used those precious seconds before Gabrielles eyes opened. She
had registered what was happening, stopped struggling, and composed her features.
She sat relaxed in the wide chair now, no longer pulling against the cuffs.
She rested her dark head against the back of the chair and lifted an inquiring
brow. Xena gathered her strength.
Spread your legs, Gabrielle, Callisto whispered. The bard did.
Callistos nudge in the small of her back forced Gabrielle to thrust her
pelvis forward, exposing her pussy to the captive warrior. So near, and
yet so far, Xena, Callisto crooned sympathetically. Now listen up,
dumpling, Gabrielle has something to say to you.
Gabrielle looked into Xenas steady gaze. Her hands settled on Callistos
arm, still pressed against her waist. I told you to leave me alone.
She looked down at the warrior with lifeless eyes. Xenas gaze moved down
to the bards glistening cunt, and then back to her face. I meant
it, Xena. I didnt want -- I didnt ask you to come busting back in
here, after me. I didnt want you to see this.
Gabrielle swallowed, as Callistos hand lowered and her long forefinger
began tickling through her pubic hair.
You didnt deserve this, Xena. Not after . . . all youve done
for me. Im sorry youre here, and Im sorry youre injured.
But you have to accept it, now that you know. Im with Callisto. Its
where I want to be.
Xena, Im going to ask Gabrielle to play with her breasts.
Callisto said softly. And tell you what she wants me to do to her.
Gabrielles hands rose slowly and covered the tips of her breasts. She
began rubbing them, feeling Callistos finger trace patterns across the
gentle swell of her mound.
I want her to touch me. Down there. Gabrielle dropped her eyes
to her jutting crotch and watched Callistos finger skate across her mons.
I want her finger in me. I want her to -- fuck me. Hard.
Good bard, Callisto giggled into Gabrielles hair. Im
sorry, Xena, but a gracious hostess sees to her guests every wish.
She reached into her leather vest, and pulled out a long, thin shape. It was
a phallus of polished wood, smooth and gleaming in the candlelight. A sob escaped
Gabrielle when she saw it, but she forced herself to hold still. Callisto put
a hand on Gabrielles shoulder and pushed her gently forward, so that her
hands dropped to the bed. She let her wait there, on all fours, while she tickled
the tip of the phallus down the goose-bumped planes of the bards back.
By the way, do you see any wounds on your prized whore, Xena? Callisto
asked, rubbing her palm over the downy, upraised globes of Gabrielles
bottom. You suspected what was happening in here, but you expected to
find the kid half-dead, didnt you?
The thought occurred to me.
Xenas voice sent a sharp pulse of sexual heat through Gabrielle, and
her eyes darted quickly to her face before focusing again on the bedspread below
her.
Callisto brought the phallus around behind Gabrielle, and used it to nudge
her thighs more widely apart. I love it when her tits dangle like that,
dont you? Shake them for your lover, Gabrielle, would you?
Gabrielle dug her hands into the bedspread and moved her shoulders, making
her hanging breasts wobble above the bed.
You thought Id have to beat her to get her into this position,
didnt you? So did I. But I havent laid a hand on her. That way,
with force or violence. I ask, Gabrielle spreads. Shake your boobies again,
blondie.
Callisto crooned happily as Gabrielle complied, and then she slipped the head
of the phallus inside the steaming slit of Gabrielles cunt. She wiggled
it back and forth gently, gathering juices, letting the bard feel its
cool smoothness against her greasy inner lips. Tell her whats happening,
Gabrielle.
Xena, shes fucking me. Gabrielle burst into tears, and the
phallus plunged deeply inside her, making her surge forward on her hands. Oh,
gods --
Callisto pulled the phallus out slowly, her eyes widening as the slick redwood
emerged between the gripping lips of the girls pussy. Then she pushed
it in, hard, and dragged the handle in small circles, her tongue snaking out
to dab over her lower lip. She pulled it out, then pressed it back in again.
Gabrielle felt a flush of shame so deep it was physically painful, as she realized
her wetness allowed the rod to plow smoothly into her, and she emitted a strangled
moan.
Oh look, her little asshole is winking. Callisto laughed and inserted
a fingertip in Gabrielles anus. Gabrielles head shot up at this
appalling violation, her nostrils flaring, but then the phallus sucked out of
her and plunged back in, and her head lowered again.
Callisto found her rhythm, grunting softly to herself to provide appropriate
musical accompaniment. Xena watched, fully conscious, her eyes lidded like a
jungle cats, still as stone.
On her hands and knees, from behind, like a dog, Callisto sang,
twisting the phallus as it moved in and out of the girls straining twat.
She always followed you around like a poodle, Xena, so I find this symbolically
gratifying. This is my cock raping you, young slut, fucking you so fine . .
. Her voice trailed off in a happy humming. But I cant hear
you, pussygirl.
F-fucking me. Gabrielles face was suffused with color. Her
breasts bobbed back and forth from the motion of the hard smoothness impaling
her. Shes fucking me, fucking me . . .
All night, darling. Callisto rotated the tip of her finger in Gabrielles
anus, fascinated with the small opening. Im going to fuck you all
night. She snagged the bards wet clit in the bend of her finger
and flicked it, hard, delighting in Gabrielles harsh gasp.
Callisto twisted the phallus into her wetness. Slowly, now, there was no rush.
Fill her completely, empty her. Pinch the clit. Again. Push the phallus into
her again, and this time Gabrielle groaned. Lovely.
Gabrielle.
Callistos eyes flew open as Gabrielle went still in her grasp. Both of
them stared at Xena, whose eyes were brilliant as sunlight. Her voice had been
weak and ragged, but the natural command of her presence asserted itself even
now, through the weakness that followed a severe beating. Gabrielle. You
may not come without my permission.
Gabrielle just stared at her, panting, her eyes enormous, the phallus poised
outside her cuntlips.
A smile of joy lit Callistos face. Why, Xena, she murmured.
Youre issuing a challenge? You honestly believe I cant make
this little trollop come? Look at her, shes half in rut already!
Callisto tugged Gabrielle erect on her knees by her hair, then reached down
and swept three fingers through her pulsing nether lips. Gabrilles mouth
formed a silent oh and she closed her eyes. Really ravishing
little Snatch, here, make her beg to grind her cunt on my teeth? Get down there,
little girl, Callistos ready to ream.
The rape continued.
Eventually the twitching of Gabrielles buttocks worsened. Nothing the
bard could do could keep them still, the tension building in her couldnt
be contained any longer. She arched her back slightly, rooting against the wooden
length digging in her. Callisto pummeled into the bard, smacking the phallus
home, yanking it back out, slamming it deep again, scraping her clit with it,
her other finger skewering deeper into her asshole.
Gabrielle screamed, once. Then again. Her breasts flopped heavily between her
forearms, her back arching hard. The tendons stood out on either side of her
neck as Callisto scrubbed her fingers across her dangling clit again. Gabrielle
shook her head fiercely, trying to quell the rising tide of carnality coursing
through her loins. She snapped her eyes open, the whites glimmering, her breasts
jerking wildly beneath her.
Xena, she gasped, her eyes widening, a tremor shaking her shoulders.
Help me.
She had but to ask.
Sexual power had allowed Callisto to move a bed of ironwood across the floor.
That same power, of a purer strain, propelled Xena out of the chair. She snapped
the cuffs and launched toward Gabrielle and Callisto with such speed, Gabrielle
wasnt sure exactly what smacked hard into her shoulder and spun her around
on the bed, knocking her head against the footboard.
Things clouded then. The oblivion Gabrielle had prayed for descended, and she
was only dimly aware of her surroundings. She caught glimpses of flying soldiers,
and heard the harrowing scream of rage that was Callistos callsign.
When her vision cleared, it did so slowly.
Gabrielle was aware that she was still naked -- always, vividly aware of this
first -- and still on the wide bed. On her back, now, in the beds center,
her limbs splayed in a wide X. Gabrielles brow furrowed as she struggled
to free herself -- but then she realized that she wasnt bound. Her eyelids
fluttered and lifted.
At first her fogged vision was blinded by Xenas tall form, silhouetted
against the harsh light of the open window. The warrior stood at the foot of
the bed, looking down at Gabrielle, bracing herself with her hands against both
bedposts. Rays of sunlight shot past her to illuminate Gabrielles pale
body on the bed. The young woman closed her legs in instinctive modesty, one
hand lifting to shade a breast. Then she focused more clearly on Xenas
face, and saw her close her eyes in pain. Whatever power had filled Xena was
gone, and what was left was one human and badly beaten warrior.
Alarm spurted through the bard and she sat up, bracing her upper body with
her hands. Xena. That was all that came out, just her name.
Heras light, Gabrielle thought. If I could write something that beautiful
Id be remembered forever. Covered with bruises and bleeding scratches,
the strong shoulders trembling with fatigue, Xena perched one elbow on the bedstead
and smiled smugly down at her bard. Blood wended slowly down her throat from
a small cut above her brow.
Gabrielle burst into tears. Again.
Were safe, Xena said quietly.
I know that, Gabrielle snapped. She worked herself up on her knees
and inched forward, reaching for Xena, completely oblivious to the picture she
created. She wanted a closer look at that cut. Lie down, Xena, before
you fall on me.
No, Xena said. She caught Gabrielles reaching hands in her
own and held them, firmly. She cleared her throat and winced, but shook her
head when Gabrielle began to speak. Lie back, Gabrielle. Now.
Oh, gods.
Gabrielle settled back on the bed, her eyes on Xenas face. A little afraid,
now. She lay down, hands at her sides.
Spread your legs, Xena murmured. Bend your knees.
Gabrielle shivered. She turned her head on the bedspread and closed her eyes,
willing to endure whatever Xena needed. Whatever it was, even if it was bloody.
She prayed Xena wouldnt hurt her. She drew her heels to her hips and let
her knees fall to either side, exposing her cunt completely to the warriors
eyes.
The bard was still wet Copiously so. Her vagina held the pent-up fluids of
hours of sexual torture without release. Shed never climaxed beneath Callistos
hand. For the past year, Gabrielle came only when Xena allowed it. And even
in her despair, she had kept that pact with the warrior.
What are you doing? Gabrielle whispered.
Hush.
There was a peculiar warmth washing over Gabrielles hips. She opened
her eyes and saw Xena staring down into her open pussy. Just staring, with those
odd, paralyzing lavender eyes. Focusing -- on her clitoris?
Which was twitching. Gabrielle lifted herself and stared at it, still half-fearful.
Her clit quivered and bounced in its nest of wetness, and Gabrielle felt the
power gathering deep in her belly.
She pulled her gaze up to Xenas face, her eyes slowly widening as the
roiling heat inside her grew. Xena, she whispered. Xena, no.
Xena said nothing. She lifted her head, her eyes still focused on Gabrielles
twitching cunt. She made no move to touch the girl. She just stared.
Its too strong. Gabrielle caught her lip in her teeth for
a moment. I dont think I can do this -- in front of you -- oh, gods.
Come for me, Gabrielle.
Xena, it will blow me apart. Xe--Xena . . .
Come for me.
Flame exploded through Gabrielles rigid twat, and she shrieked. Her hips
bucked up and her head hit the soft bedspread. Her hips hung in the air, rooting,
jerking, Xenas gaze still pinned on her spasming clit. Gabrielle shrieked
again, with less breath this time. Her hips crashed down onto the bed and she
ground her hips in circles on the spread. She put one hand on each wide-spread
knee and pushed, shooting her cunt up into wave after wave of excruciating pleasure.
Which knocked the bard out more thoroughly than conking her head on the bedpost
had.
When she awoke, Xena was seated on the bed beside her, her warm palm stroking
her stomach. Gabrielle couldnt move for a moment. She stared at Xena through
heavy-lidded, thoroughly sated eyes. Then her gaze sharpened, and she sat up,
bracing herself on her elbows.
Lie down, Xena. Now. And just keep your damned eyes off me, okay?
Xena looked startled, but she grinned as Gabrielle jumped off the bed and grasped
her arm, making the warrior stretch out on the bed. Gabrielle winced and closed
her eyes for a moment, resting one hip against the mattress.
What is it, Gabrielle?
What is it? Gabrielle asked, her eyes opening with effort. She
bent and lifted Xenas legs onto the bed. You try coming so hard
your eardrums pop, and then standing up too fast five minutes later. Still with
no clothes on, she added.
You were out for at least ten.
Well, lovely, we have a new record. Unmindful now of her own nakedness,
Gabrielle unlaced Xenas shirt, trying to find the worst of the damage.
Shed learned to look rather than ask, with Xena, it was faster.
But when Gabrielle got the shirt open, and she was looking down at her partners
bruised ribs, it caught up with her -- the nights of captivity, the look in
Xenas eyes when she sent her away -- and the look in them, too, when she
sent her over the edge.
Gabrielle erupted in tears again. Bloody hell!
Gabrielle. Xena cleared her throat. Im not --
Im not crying because youre hurt, Gabrielle sobbed,
slapping Xenas hand away. Im crying because I have things
to do and I have to take time out for this little breakdown, first. I cant
see to examine you until I get hold of myself, I cant see to stitch you
--
Bri. Xenas palm was warm on her lower back.
Gabrielle let the warrior turn her, lie her down beside her, rest her head
on her muscled shoulder. The bards arm slid automatically around Xenas
waist as they lay together. She couldnt stop crying, though.
Oh, bloody hell.
You got that expression from Boadiccea, Xena murmured, her eyes
closing.
Gabrielles sigh shook. Xena, I am so, so sorry --
Gabrielle. Sleep for me.
And the bard slumped against her, exhausted, her nakedness soft and trusting
against the warriors aching side. A soft snore emerged from her almost
immediately.
Xena looked down at the still, lovely face on her shoulder. She brushed the
honey blonde hair off her brow, rested her lips against Gabrielles damp
forehead, and then she slept, too.
