"I Just Want to Dance"

Gabrielle was overcome with the desire to dance. A whole town that forbade dancing? How could she resist the urge to boogie?

"Let's just try and get some sleep, huh?" Xena said as she settled down on her sleeping mat.

Gabrielle tried to sleep, but as she shifted on her sleeping mat the shift turned into a shimmy and the shimmy turned to a shake. Before she knew it she really had a good beat going in her head.

Xena turned her head to look at her friend, "Gabrielle, it's still dancing even if you're lying down."

"Oh c'mon, Xena. If I told you not to think of pink elephants you'd have a big ol' whopping image of a pink elephant in your head. You can't tell me not to dance and expect me to not dance!"

"If someone sees you, you'll get banished and then where will we be to help Tara?" Xena reminded Gabrielle.

"How can you not want to dance?" Gabrielle asked with a shimmy to the left and a shimmy to the right.

Xena rolled over on her side and looked at Gabrielle with a smirk, "If I teach you a dance move I know of will you go to sleep?"

"Well... I can't guarantee that I won't want to practice it once you've taught me."

"Oh, don't worry, it'll tire you out. But I can help you practice another time."

"Okay. Show me."

Gabrielle started to get up, when Xena reach out and returned Gabrielle to her sleeping mat. With Gabrielle lying back Xena leaned over and placed a slow, longing kiss on Gabrielle's lips. Xena pulled back and looked at Gabrielle, hoping to see encouragement.

"Oh that dance move?" Gabrielle said with a smirk. "I'd love to see how you've... mastered the art..." Gabrielle leaned in for another kiss, this time with more fervor. Before long Gabrielle felt the light touch of Xena's fingers reaching for the laces at her shirt. With a light tug Gabrielle felt the cool night air on her breasts, causing her to elicit a breathy whimper. Xena began leaving light kisses down Gabrielle's neck and chest until she settled upon Gabrielle's pert nipple. As she licked and sucked Gabrielle's breast she placed her hand on Gabrielle's thigh, inching her way to her core with a steady slowness that made the blond's leg's part with anticipation and wanting. Dipping a finger in Xena found Gabrielle wet and ready. Overcome with the joy of finding her friend and companion so receptive Xena placed a passionate kiss on Gabrielle's lips as she buried her two fingers deep inside. Gabrielle thrust her hips upward as she felt her lover filling her. Placing a third finger inside, Xena threw her leg over Gabrielle, adding her body weight to the thrust. Gabrielle bit her lip as she looked up at Xena, afraid to cry out, but unable to contain her ecstasy.

"Yes! Oh gods, yes!" Gabrielle whimpered as Xena thrust harder and faster.

Gabrielle, thrusting into Xena, placed her hands on Xena's hips, staring deeper into the warrior's eyes with every gasp and moan. With one last thrust and arch of her back Gabrielle let out a loud moan. Pantingly she rode the waves of pleasure as Xena placed one last light kiss upon her lips.

Xena looked at Gabrielle as she began to doze off. When she came down from her high Gabrielle turned to look at her companion.

"Those are some pretty decent moves you've got," Gabrielle whispered as she leaned into Xena.

"Mmm. I try..." she replied with half-lidded eyes.

"But I think I might be able to teach you a thing or two... some other time." Gabrielle said as she drifted off to sleep in Xena's arms.
