The sunlight streamed in through the crystal windows and made her blonde her shimmer in the afternoon light as she glared from him under her lashes, how dare he think he knows what is best, Serenity groused as she stared her husband down.
"Sere, my love, I know how much you want to do this but I must say no."
"Endy, I am not giving you an option."
She was angry he could tell and he knew it was his fault but in this he would not yield. I don't want to hurt her. What else was he supposed to say to that, normally when she gave him that attitude he caved in but this time he would not.
She had tried everything to get him to concede to her wishes but he had resisted all her attempts, she tried to kiss him senseless and she nearly had him but at the last minute he pulled away, she had tried her puppy eyes and unfortunately that hadn't worked. "Endymion, why do you refuse me?" She asked as she turned away from him, her anger beginning to get the best of her.
"Sere, calling me by my full name is not going to guilt me and neither are those puppy eyes you're so shamelessly trying to convince me with." He said holding strong to his conviction that what she was asking of him could not be done.
"Why won't you?" Serenity asked while she pouted tears swimming in her eyes. She didn't understand why he was being so mean. She had asked nicely and had even offered him something in return if would only do as she asked.
"Sere, you are pregnant and I don't want to hurt you or the baby." Endymion confessed he felt horrible she really wanted it and here he was denying her the only desire she had ever voiced since her pregnancy started.
"Endy, you're not going to hurt us." She was frustrated why couldn't he just believe her?
"How do you know that?" He asked it with such an attitude that it made tears swim in her eyes and he felt immediate guilt.
"Will you stop being so adamantine in your beliefs, my love, it's just a damn massage." She yelled at him, would it really kill him?
"Sere, where did you learn that word?" He was shocked to say the least.
"It's called picking up a book, my love, as much as you think otherwise I'm highly capable of picking up a book and absorbing the material."
She watched as her husband and the High King of Crystal Tokyo fainted landing on his face. "I hope that hurt, it would serve you right for being so mean you crazy man. All I wanted was a damn back massage you're acting like I was being perverse." The only response she heard was a groan and she giggled, "Hopefully you don't get carpet burn considering we have to appear in front of the populace tomorrow morning."
