Chapter 109

Xena's POV

Looking down at my outfit, I felt a hint of disappointment wash over me. I was wearing a sports bra and a fitted athletic tank, both white, paired with black and white shorts. They weren't skin-tight, but they still hugged my thighs. I hesitated, wondering if the ensemble was too eye-catching, but then I thought about today's fight.
