The next day, they were back on their way to Egypt
and Xena and Ulysses spent most of the day lounging around in bed,
talking to each other, clowning around and their most favorite
activity, making love. They fell asleep in each others arms and
when they woke it was two hours before midnight. They got up,
dressed then headed to the mess area for a late meal.

 

 

They sat there for a while after they ate then
headed up deck where Ulysses asked Jarvin if he could take the helm
of the ship. Jarvin was fine with that especially since he was
eager to take the break and it wasn’t like he was going to
tell Ulysses no. Jarvin went to get some sleep while Ulysses
steered and Xena talked to him for a while before she went about
doing things on the ship. They stayed up all night with Ulysses
showing Xena how to steer the ship and she smiled as she took the
helm and he stood behind her showing her how to steer but mostly
because he wanted to be that close to her, he wanted to feel her
against him.

 

 

“I think you’ve got it from
here,” he said and Xena grinned as she nodded then moaned as
Ulysses leaned in and kissed her passionately, his arm still
tightly wrapped around Xena’s waist. When the kiss ended they
grinned at each other and Ulysses stood close by for a while and
they talked for a while before he did a few things on the ship.
When morning came they watched the sun rise together and by then
Jarvin took the helm while Xena stood at the railing and Ulysses
stood behind her holding her in his arms. Together they watched the
sun come up and Jarvin watched as they shared a passionate kiss, a
kiss that showed two people very much in love.

 

 

It took them a week and three days to reach the
outskirts of Egypt and Xena and Ulysses enjoyed each and every one
of those days. They made love often and they also found themselves
teasing each other which kept them wanting. They talked often about
any and everything, they joked and laughed. They just spent time
with each other and they enjoyed it more than anyone could really
understand, more than just the good love making brought them closer
together. It was the fact that they talked about their wants,
dreams, goals and anything that was on their mind, they were
getting to know each other on a deeper level. They reached the
outskirts of Egypt on the third day and it would be two hours
before dinner when they reached land. Ulysses and Xena had been
lounging around that day and were getting ready.
