It was late; Xena let herself in with the spare key and slowly crept through the hallway toward the guest bedroom in an attempt to keep from waking Arc. She slowly closed the door behind her and began to pull off her jacket when she heard a noise. She stopped to listen; hushed panting was coming from the room beside her. Xena smiled to herself and began to continue, but stopped again when she heard a choked voice whisper a name.
“Mina...”
Mina trembles, releasing a whimpering moan as two hands trace down her back and spine. Xena smiles and places her mouth on Mina’s skin, pearly-white in the moonlight streaming through the windows. Her skin is sweet and salty and Xena sucks on it, leaving a bright red mark on Mina’s neck; proof that she has been here. Her mouth and hands begin to move around to her front and Mina grips the bedsheets tightly- Xena’s hands slowly closing around her breasts when -
It was raining when Arc left the library. She pulled her coat tightly around her and opened her umbrella, thankful she had remembered to bring one. She was a few meters away from the library when a voice made her stop and turn around.
“Ms. Silverman!” Mina called, running up behind her. “Are you going past the dorms?” She was soaked; her blond hair stuck to her face and her white shirt was transparent and clung tightly to her skin. Arc’s breath caught in her throat and she hastily brought her eyes back up to Mina’s.
“Yes. Care to share my umbrella? You look freezing...”
The door creaks open and Arc steps into the room slowly, her head turned away from them and moonlight reflecting in her glasses, obscuring her eyes.
“What are you doing?” She asks, coldly and painfully.
There is silence; Xena can’t meet her ex-lover’s eyes. Mina is close to tears with her arms wrapped around herself and her head bent forward.
“Thanks,” Mina said, smiling brightly as they reached her dorm, “I don’t know what I’d have done if you hadn’t come along.”
“My pleasure,” Arc replied, “now go change before you catch cold.”
“Yeah, I guess I should,” but still she lingered, a playful and timid look in her eyes, “do you-” she blushed.
“Do I what?” Arc asked, arching her eyebrow.
Mina looked away, “Never mind.”
Arc steps forward again, the sound of her clipped footsteps filling the room. “I cannot prevent you from doing this.” She says slowly. “All I can ask is that you do not do it here. I can’t bear knowing what is going on inside this room and- ” she stops and shakes her head. “I can’t listen and know I’m not-” she stops again, her voice trembling, “I’m sorry, Mina.”
Xena reaches out and grabs Arc’s hand, “If you wanted to play too,” she murmurs, pulling Arc down to their level, “all you had to do was ask.”
Arc looks away, “I can’t” she said tightly.
Mina touches her hand softly, “Please,” she whispers.
Arc locked her door behind her and threw her raincoat in the cloakroom. Xena wandered in, her hair damp around her shoulders and smelling like soap and chocolate.
“Hope you don’t mind,” she said, “but I ate the rest of your Thin Mints.” She leaned against the wall. “They were going stale anyway.”
“Anyone else here?” Arc asked slowly.
“Not this ti-” Xena began but was cut off as Arc pushed her against the wall and kissed her.
Xena watches Arc suddenly dive for Mina, capturing her body and mouth in one fast, smooth move. Mina’s arms are suddenly full of Arc who is all silk and skin, and her mouth is suddenly filled with the completely feminine taste of lipstick. Arc is hurried and gentle; her hands softly brushing and touching, her mouth hot and insistent and open.
Mina stripped, slowly removing the dark jeans and white shirt that had been plastered against her skin during the hour she spent wandering around in the rain. She stepped into the steaming tub and fall backwards into the water, letting the hot water lap around her body as she stared up at the ceiling.
“You never lose by loving.” She whispered. “You always lose by holding back.” She slowly pulled her head down under the water. “Barbara DeAngelis.”
Xena pulls herself up behind Arc and pushes the short silk dress up, kissing along Arc’s spine. Arc throws the dress aside and moves her mouth down Mina’s neck and breast, causing Mina to whimper and arch her back. Xena slides her hands along Arc’s hips and thighs, slowly removing the silk undergarments. As the silk and lace falls to the ground with the black heels, Xena roughly pushes Arc off Mina and looms above both of them, her hair falling in a lions mane around her shoulders. She smiles at them, hungrily and possessively as she moves her hands down their inner thighs. They shudder together, a longing mew of pleasure coming from Mina and a tight moan escaping Arc as they reach for each other.
“Wait,” Xena moaned as Arc pushed her hips roughly into hers, “is this because of me or Mina?”
“Shut up,” Arc whispered tightly and quickly pulled away, but not fast enough to keep Xena from seeing the glint of tears in the corners of her eyes.
“‘In solitude, What happiness? Who can enjoy alone, Or all enjoying, what contentment find?’” Xena said softly.
“Milton. Paradise Lost.”
Xena pushes Arc’s legs apart and moves in, her tongue probing and stroking and Arc wildly grabs Xena’s hair. She reaches for Mina, scrambling to find the tight, warm spot between her legs. Mina releases a short tense cry that pushes both Xena and Arc deeper. Their cries, Mina’s wild and Arc’s barely controlled, mount until they are writhing and arching their backs, hands tight in Xena’s hair and in the bedsheets. They come together, Arc shortly after Mina, and they lay quietly, eyes swimming with stars.
Xena stepped into the bar, closing the door with a ‘bang’ behind her. She pulled off her jacket and walked toward the counter, ignoring the hungry stares from the few scattered inhabitants. As she neared the counter she noticed a familiar figure, her blonde head propped up on her arm.
“Hello, Mina,” Xena said, sliding onto the stool beside her.
“Oh, hi.” Mina replied.
“Don’t see you here often.” Xena took a large swig of Mina’s beer. “Special occasion?”
“Just drowning my sorrows like everyone else.,” Mina replied.
Xena moves from Arc and hovers over them again, quietly and possessively as they chastely hold hands. She lay down next to Arc, leaning on her arm, and pulls Arc’s disheveled glasses off her head.
“You never remember.” She says.
Arc turns to look at her, eyes still wide and dizzy, “Doesn’t matter now.” She replies as Mina curls up next to her.
Xena smiles. “I guess not.”
Arc heard the door open and close with a bang. She got up and cracked open the door enough to see Xena and Mina in a tangled mess together, both attempting to rid the other of their clothing. They disappeared from view as they moved into the guest room. Arc slowly stepped out of the study and walked down the hall. She stopped at the door and heard Mina moan softly. Her head spun and before she realized what she was doing, she was opening the door.
