"Do you know," A voice teased past his ear. "That I love being here with you."
He smiled and sat up among his pillows, the sheets falling off his chest to reveal all the fine muscles. The mystery girl smiled to him, her skin glowing in the moonlight of the open window, and her extremely long hair curling over her shoulder to fall over her naked breast. His arm flowed around her hip and pulled it closer onto his lap into a straddling position over him.
"I know you do." He whispered, leaning up and brushing aside her hair to kiss into her neck. "Who wouldn't?"
"Have you always enjoyed the dark?" She asked, tilting her head to act innocent and cute. The little minx.
"Not at first, at first I wished for nothing but humanity." He smiled in return. "And then I had a conquest of power, which got me here."
He motioned around the large master bedroom at the top of his palace, where he ruled over his creatures of the night.
"Once I got that…" He leaned forward leaning into her neck. "I wanted to conquer women. One. By. One."
He placed feather like kisses onto her skin receiving gasps of arousal, he stopped at her collar bone closely hovering over her perky breasts.
"Then…I decided I wanted more than sex partners. I wanted a companion to share with me every night. To be by my side. Love and obey. Carry my children. That was when I started my search."
His hand trailed up her hip along her side beside the curve of her breast and gently stroked the skin to receive sensitive moans from her.
"It was another century of torture. My own generals found their mates…they helped but it took me much longer to find the perfect women." He purred into her ear. She smiled and gently pressed her hand against his chest to push him back.
"And?" She asked looking to him with teasing eyes to anticipate the answer. He smiled up and gripped her hips watching her gaze when she hovered over him.
"I think I couldn't find someone better."
"ENDYMION!" A voice snapped him out of his dream as he sat up with a frustrated groan escaping his lips. "Endymion get out of bed, you're going to be late."
"I don't need to be ordered around by my generals." Endymion hissed. He sat up in his same large bedroom as his dream, yet unfortunately wasn't blessed with a beautiful mate beside him.
"Just get going, otherwise we're all going to look suspicious. Coming in late." Another voice sighed. He heard their footsteps echo out of the hall and he sighed again, rolling out of bed to dress. He had grown lazy over the years. When he was a young human man, you would have been up by sunrise to go out and do your work. Yet that was back in 1765, a whole different world living in the twenty first century. He had been born with the name Endymion, but over time took the name Darien for his interaction in the daylight. He sighed again, and checked his reflection in the mirror, straightening his tie and walking out the door.
"I'll find you." He whispered to himself before his eyes grew red with a blood lust craving. "I will find you my mate."
Serena cracked open a sleepy eye to look at the bright red numbered alarm clock on her night stand and widened at the sight of the time.
"I'm going to be late!" She gasped, leaping from her bed and limping over to her closet to pull on a light pink blouse and short black skirt. "An interview like this doesn't come every day."
Slipping on a pair of heels, she exited her apartment to go running down the street and hailed a taxi. In the cab she applied a little amount of neutral make up and patted down her light gold hair.
It's sad that I'm going to have to be a personal assistant. She sighed at the thought when the cab pulled up along the side of the road in front of a large skyscraper.
"Here goes." She muttered and put one heel out of the car and gripped her briefcase and purse tightly in her hand. Opening the door, the lobby was decorated with lavish art and lined with several elevators and looked true to what a large cooperation was to be. At the end, a receptionist sat looking at a computer screen with a bored expression. Her blonde hair pulled up by a red ribbon, and she was oddly dressed in just a casual sundress. Serena noted that she was unremarkably beautiful, with light skin and could easily be mistaken for an idol.
"Excuse me?" She asked trying to gain the woman's attention. She glanced up from the monitor and smiled brightly before spinning in her chair like a child.
"Can I help ya ma'am?" She asked in a giddy voice.
"I need to know which floor I can find…" Serena dug in her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper. "Darien Shields."
"Ohhhhhh," She pursed her lips and stood up walking around the counter. "Follow me. It's best you have someone accompany you."
"What about the front desk?" Serena motioned back to the counter, the girl glanced at it and shrugged carelessly.
"I'm only a temp for a few hours." She replied and pulled Serena inside the elevator before quickly pressing a button.
"A few hours, you covering for someone?"
"No." She stated simply and looked around. "My….uh…husband…he's friends with Darien…and I uhh….just got bored, saw an open computer and thought to beat the new level of Sailor V."
"Awwww they updated it?" Serena groaned.
"Yeah, and it's totally awesome!"
"I didn't think I would meet someone here who likes Sailor V games!"
"I'm a big fan of her comics! In fact I can't wait to go to the premiere!"
"You scored tickets!"
"Yeah, but you're the only one I met who likes it, would you want to be my second ticket?"
"That would be awesome!" Serena gasped, jumping up and down.
"I'm Mina!" The blonde extended her hand with a bright smile.
"Serenity, but you can just call me Serena!" She grinned taking it. The elevator dinged softly and opened to the floor as Mina casually led the way out.
"Let's see then, from here it's just into the library." She thought and opened one of the large doors.
"This place has a library?"
"Yeah, something…something…Darien wants any interns getting the chance to study if they need to. Revolutionizing the future!"
"That's actually pretty charming." Serena commented.
"Ami!" Mina shouted. "You still in here?!"
"Mina, no shouting! Some people are studying or reading!" A soft voice hissed. The sound of rolling wheels whizzed by and Serena craned her head upward to see another young woman about her own age with a tower of books in her hand. Her blue hair was cut short barely at the nape of her neck, and she looked down with a little shock.
"Oh, who are you?" She asked gracefully climbing down single handily.
"How did you do that?" Serena gaped when Mina jabbed her elbow into the other girl's rib.
"I played on the monkey bars a lot as a child."
"Well anyways this is my new best friend Serena." Mina introduced wrapping an arm around Serena's shoulders. "Serena this is my really good friend Ami."
Ami smiled and nodded, in approval.
"What brings you to the library Serena, if Mina declares you as her best friend then you must be into video games and comics like herself." Se sighed. "You're wasting your brain cells and resources on that stuff."
"What brain cells and resources?" Mina scoffed before looking to Serena. "Ami here is a famous doctor. I think now she's trying to get yet another PHD."
"I only have two." Ami shrugged.
"Two!" Serena exclaimed while the girl just nodded carelessly.
"Yeah, I'm trying to catch up with my husband. He has three."
"Gosh! And so young! You don't even look like you're older than me."
"Oh! Yeah-um-I'm one of those...freaky child geniuses you read about! Anyways Mina, what brings you this way?"
"I'm taking her on the long journey to Darien's office. That, and I'm bored so Kunzite better be available to take me over to Prada."
"You know they just told us to wait for them." Ami sighed and turned to Serena. "Our husbands are friends with Darien; they cling to him like body guards."
"Uh they are bodyguards." Mina rolled her eyes.
"Body guards who can afford to take their wives out to go and get Prada?" Serena lifted an eyebrow. She may at times be a ditzy blonde but at least she knew the average salary of a body guard.
Mina smirked and shrugged it off before walking ahead.
"Come on, you're going to be late for your interview."
"Nice meeting you!" Serena called back to Ami before catching up to Mina who already rung up the elevator.
"So what should I say for the interview?" Mina shrugged and looked up casually to divert her gaze.
"I don't know, I never was interviewed by Darien, but I would say to just act submissive, he doesn't like rebels who disobey him."
"Sounds like a brute." Serena muttered bitterly.
"I'll say. But you don't have to worry, he rarely comes into the city. He's basically wanting someone to take care of his appointments and take noted at meetings." It didn't take a long ride before it stopped once again, letting them out.
"Yo! Rae, Lita!" She giggled and skipped out. Two other women looked up and smiled at sight of the blonde. One was a dark haired girl, with hair in equal length to Mina's, and with onyx eyes looking up in shock. She sat behind another large desk, while another woman with dark brown hair pulled in a ponytail leaned over the side to look at what the dark haired one was doing.
"We got tired of waiting." The brunette giggled and stood straighter, making Serena realize she was a good foot taller than herself.
"Jed's going to pay, he said 'oh two hours top'." The dark haired one complained.
"Yeah, same for Nephrite." The brunette shook her head. "They owe us, being here is boring but of course they have to drag us out. "
"Oh silly me, guys this is Serena, she's going to be interviewed today."
"Oh, hello." The dark haired one smiled. "I'm Rae, and this is Lita." The brunette waved.
"It'll be a few minutes I guess." Lita frowned. "He's still conversing with our husbands."
"You two are married as well?!" Serena gaped. "But you all are so miserable being here, why are you dragged along here?"
The three exchanged a look that Serena raised a brow in attempt to understand.
"You could say…that we are wanted to remain close by." Mina smiled sheepishly.
"That and you could say it gives us chance to be in the city." Rae muttered. Her head shot up, as did the other two and they turned to the large set of double doors behind the desk Rae sat at that were suddenly burst open.
Serena turned her expression upward when she caught sight of what she could describe to be a mad man. His blue eyes were wide with both a thirst and hunger that hadn't yet be satisfied. The girls looked to the floor as Serena looked at the others.
"What's wrong?" She asked around to anyone.
The man straightened up, seeming to collect himself he turned behind him to the four men kneeling to him.
"Leave us; I'll be along in the moment right after this." He looked up and locked eyes with Serena. "Please do come in."
He held a hand out into his office, stepping aside as the men filed out. A white haired young man walked briskly past her and over to Mina.
"Come," He barked in order. Mina smiled to him thoughtfully and looked over to Serena. Her eyes were full of sorrow and pity as she turned away.
"I'll see you soon…Serena." She whispered as if full of regret. The other two didn't meet her shocked gaze and walked by with the other three men trailing behind them into the elevator.
"Shall we?" The man asked, suddenly appearing behind her.
"Of course Sir." She replied and entered the office with him following after her. It was a large room, with a large desk in front of the wall of windows. A chaise lounge and sofa sat before large plasma, and in the corner was a small mini bar.
"So shall I show you my resume?" She asked and fiddled with her briefcase.
"That won't be necessary," he replied when she heard the small 'click' of the locking door. She turned around and looked at him, his back was to her and his head was pressed against the door.
"Your name please?" He breathed deeply, his voice raspy and dry.
"Serenity Tsukino." She replied professionally.
"Serenity," He repeated again. "Peace and tranquility."
"Yes." She nodded, confused to what he was getting at.
"I've been looking for you a long time…but I realize that one day you would eventually find your way to me."
"What are you talking about Sir?" She asked trying to remain a professional front. He slowly turned and breathed deeply. She gasped when she saw his eyes and turned into a gaze of intently red eyes.
"Serenity Tsukino," He repeated. Walking closer, she backed up into the desk. "I think you'll be getting more than you expected in working here."
"I might have to turn down your offer." She muttered, backing around the desk he stalked her.
"Oh no, this is non-negotiable, you see I think I'm taking you home with me." She pressed her back against the glass when he leaned forward a part of her snapped.
"How dare yo-" She raised a hand to strike him, when he easily caught her wrist and examined it.
"A woman shouldn't slap a King or her future husband." He scolded.
"What?" He leaned closer and looked into her eyes. "Serenity, I don't think you're going to be a personal assistant. I'm taking you for my Queen." His eyes glowed red once again, as a sense or drowsiness washed over Serena and she fell right into his arms.
I realize I'm kind of obsessed with boobs in the opening scene when I came back to edit this again...anyways please review!
