How did she get into this situation?
Serenity was in a dark room of her childhood friend, Endymion, with a letter gripped tightly in her hand. She had not seen Endymion for years, and here she was. Standing in the middle of the room, hoping not to wake him up. Her heart seemed to beat too loudly as she looked around the room, trying to make as little noise as possible so as not to wake up said person currently sleeping in the bed. As she moved closer to the bedside table to deposit the letter, she thought back to the morning.
Flashback
Serenity sat in her room, reading a new book that her father had given her. Her father was a well-to-do merchant who liked to lavish his family with gifts and expensive materials. He had given her the book as a gift from his latest shipment from America. While she was reading, a servant girl knocked at her door.
"Come in," Serenity called. The servant walked in with a letter on a tray.
"It's for you, Miss. From your cousin, Lady Amina," the servant girl said.
"Thank you, Rosette. Do send my love to your mother and father," Serenity said with a bright smile on her face. She considered Rosette a friend and tried to mingle with the staff as much as she could. They had so many stories and had taught her a lot of different things, most of them considered un-ladylike for someone of her station. But Serenity didn't care. She wanted adventure and freedom, but had to settle for stories.
"Of course, Miss." Rosette curtsied slightly and walked out of the room.
"I wonder what Amina has to say? Probably an invitation to another party," wondered Serenity. She chuckled to herself. She loved her cousin very much, but sometimes Amina could be too social for her tastes. She opened the letter.
Dear Serenity:
I am in love. With the most handsome, kindest, and wonderful man I know. But it is not to be. I overheard father telling mother that I would be married to another lord from another country. I am heartbroken and crushed, but have resigned myself to this fate. Father told Mother that he needed the union to go through and even though I love someone else, I also love my family. Attached to this letter, I put in my last letter to my loved one. Please pass this on to his best friend, Endymion. I had heard that Endymion was visiting your family soon to discuss business details with your father and I want my love to get my letter before I am to be wed. Please, Serenity. This will be my last letter to him ever.
With all my love,
Amina
"Oh Amina," sighed Serenity. "I will do what you ask because I love you so. But I haven't seen Endymion in years. I wonder how I can deliver the letter without creating suspicion," she thought. She reflected back of her memories of Endymion. Like her father, he was a merchant as well, but had done very well according to recent rumors. He had brought so much wealth that there were other rumors that the king would give him a position at court soon. Many people were jealous of his gains, but that didn't stop them from throwing themselves or their daughters in his way. He was never seen without a woman in his arm. But years before, he had been a frequent visitor to her home. Their fathers had been close and so as children they played together often. He called her Serena and she called him Endy. Their parents joked about them getting married, but when Endy's mother died suddenly from childbirth, he stopped visiting. She had missed him, but since it had been so long, she moved on. She would probably not have recognized him as he was. But Amina was right, he was supposed to come visit her father soon. Her father had said that he wanted to go into business with Endymion since he was so successful and he was getting older and wanted to retire soon.
Just as she was thinking about this, she heard the clatter of hooves below. She looked out her window and saw a carriage pull up and a man walked out. He had a hat so she couldn't see his face, but he looked young and walked with a confident gait. Stuffing the letter under her cushion, Serenity flew down the hallway and down the stairs. Her father was already greeting the stranger when she walked in the front foyer.
"Endymion! It has been so long!" her father laughed boisterously. "How have you been?"
"Good, sir. I'm keeping myself busy and traveling with my ships as much as I can to make sure business goes smoothly." His voice was deep and smooth.
"Well, young man, that must be why business is booming for you. I've heard great things, my boy, great things," her father said as he clapped Endymion on the back. "Oh, Serenity! Come, greet Endymion! It's been years since you've last seen each other."
Serenity walked as calmly as she could towards the tall, young man. As she looked up, she saw a handsome face that did not seem like her Endy from so long ago.
Endymion looked as his old childhood friend and smiled with boyish charm. "Miss Luna, it has been too long." He reached for her hand and kissed it gently. He kept his eyes on her face and they both stared, trying to recognize old facial features. She had really blossomed over the years. He had always known she would be beautiful, even as a child. But there was a presence around her, a gentle aura that seemed to make the hall shine brightly around her silver hair and bright, blue doe eyes.
"Quite so, Endymion. But I am glad you have come to see us," Serenity said lightly.
"Come, come children. It's dinner time and you must be famished Endymion. We'll eat and then discuss business in the library," her father interjected. He noticed the long stares and pauses between his daughter and this grown-up young man and grew a little nervous.
"Of course, sir. Lead the way," Endymion chuckled slightly. He let go of Serenity's gaze and turned to follow her father. Her father held out his arm for Serenity, and she put her arm through, sneaking a glance backwards every now and then. They continued the conversation amicably, but every now and then, she noticed he would look at her and there was a slight gleam in his eye. She shivered and turned away.
Dinner went quickly and her father and Endymion went to the library as promised. Serenity walked back to her room and tried to plan how she would give him the letter. She paced around her room and decided to wait until it was dark. She would sneak in once he was asleep and then drop off the letter. But in order to avoid suspicion from her servants, she dressed in her nightgown and huddled in her bed as if she was going to bed herself. Once the moon was high in the sky, she jumped out of bed and snuck to the guest bedroom where she had seen servants put Endymion's things.
And that's how she had ended up in her current situation. Serenity tried to breathe as softly as possible as she reached the bedside table. Endymion was snoring lightly and turned away from her. She dropped the letter on Endymion's beside drawer. Her cousin had made sure to label Endymion on the envelope. Sighing once the task was done, Serenity turned to go back through the door, but curiosity stopped her. She had never been alone with a man before, especially at night. She also was curious about Endymion and wanted to get a closer look. She peered over him and tried to get a better look at him. It seemed that he liked sleeping naked and once she realized that, her face turned red. Slowly, his eyes started to blink open and Serenity covered her mouth so as not to scream. He had startled her and she started to fall backwards. A hand flew out, grabbed her, and dragged her on top of him. Flustered, Serenity tried to scramble off the bed, but his grip was too strong.
"Serenity? Is this a dream?" he murmured. His eyes were still bleary with sleep.
"Yes, Endymion," she replied. Serenity thought quickly about how to get away from the situation. "It's all a dream."
"Oh good," he smiled at her with half-opened eyes. "Then I can keep doing this." He dragged her closer to him. He put his chin on the top of her head and sniffed her hair. "You smell lovely. You look so beautiful in the moonlight." She stiffened in his embrace, unsure of what to say. "I've missed you, Serena. So much," he whispered.
After a period of silence, she whispered back "I missed you too." He snuggled her closer. All of a sudden, he grabbed her chin and pulled her up to him. "This is such a nice dream." Then he started to kiss her.
Serenity had never been kissed before, but she had never imagined it would be like this. His lips were moving under hers and she had no idea what she was doing. But it felt wonderful. Almost as if it were magic. Endymion rolled on top of her. He pushed the blanket on the floor and looked down at her.
"Serena, you're beautiful. When I saw you today, I knew you were too good for me. But since this is a dream, I'm going to have my way with you." He started to kiss her neck and she could only moan in pleasure. His hands were pushing her nightgown up and he pulled if off of her. In her distracted state, she didn't even notice her gown thrown off until it was too late. She tried to cover herself and yell out for him to stop, but he was kissing her again and pulled her arms over her head. With the other hand, he slowly trailed down her stomach and into her womanhood. Her yells turned into moans of pleasure as he put two fingers inside of her and went back and forth. Keeping her arms above her head, he started kissing her breasts one at a time, making sure her nipples were hard and swollen.
Serenity couldn't think, couldn't breathe. She couldn't stop the pleasure from overcoming her brain telling her to stop him. Frankly, she didn't want to. It was too wonderful. Then, lights started flashing and her mouth turned into an 'o' as she experienced her first orgasm. He grinned down at her. He kept the motion going and her inner muscles squeezed around his fingers as she came down from her high. After awhile, he pulled down her underwear and placed himself at her entrance. His manhood was rigid and didn't seem like it would fit. Serenity started to panic again but again he kissed her.
"Don't worry Serenity. I'll only make you feel pleasure." He slowly eased into her and because she was so wet from before, he seemed to slide in. After a slight pinch, Serenity felt the pleasure come again in waves and he thrusted slowly in and out, in and out. Once she started to moan again, Endymion let go of her hands and stabilized himself by putting his arms beside her head. She in turn grabbed his back and wrapped her legs around his hips. He started to go faster and faster, and her world was swirling around her as he gave her an almost euphoric sensation.
"Serenity, I'm coming," he groaned and she felt a warm, liquid sensation inside as he came inside of her. He collapsed on top of her, out of breath. Serenity started to calm down herself and then fully realized what had just happened. She wriggled herself free from his sleeping body and grabbed her gown, threw it on, and ran out the door.
The Next Morning
Endymion woke up and groaned. His muscles felt sore and his mattress felt damp. He had had such a great dream, so great it seemed real. He felt an erection coming on. He sat up and stretched his arms above his head. He looked around and saw the blankets on the floor. Confused, he bent down to pick it up and saw a pair of lady's underwear on the floor. Flashbacks of his dream came back to him as he frantically turned his head to stare at the bed. He saw blood on the sheet and a letter on his bedside table. Panicking, he ripped open the envelope and read the contents.
Dear Endymion:
This is Amina Luna. I've asked Serenity to give you a letter to Kunzite for me. I'm getting married soon and as much as I love him, I cannot marry him. Please deliver my last letter to Kunzite and please let him know how sorry I am and how much I will always love him.
Sincerely,
Amina
He read the letter twice more and fell back on the bed. He groaned, realizing that the dream last night was not actually a dream. Serenity had really come into the room and he had forced her to have sex with him because he had thought it was a dream and it had been her first time.
"Fuck."
