Finally! The long awaited sequel to 'A Shared Love'! Thanks to those who read the first and patiently awaited this sequel. I'm sorry that it took so long, but don't worry about updates taking a while, Chapters 2 & 3 are already written and being typed as we speak (or technically as you read...) Anyway though as always I do my own betaing so any typos or grammar errors are mine and mine alone. Enjoy!

Over the course of the next few days, various preparations and plans were made to move the King's chambers. He was moved to a room only minutes away from the garden.

It was a large room with large bay windows looking out over the rose walkway.

I walked into his room and looked around. There he sat getting ready for bed. There was a perfect view of the moon from one of the windows.

"My, my. I'm not even asleep and already I'm having pleasant dreams." Endymion said as I entered.

All I could do was blush and stare at his beauty.

He sat on his bed shirtless and was only wearing a pair of shorts (something I'd never seen before.)

"Well I figured that since you and I are free to see each other now I thought I'd stop in and say goodnight." I walked over and sat next to him on the bed.

"So, now that we're free to see each other, what do you want to do?" Endymion asked me reaching for a lock of my hair, one right near my ear.

"I don't know…Is there anything specific you would like to do?" My heart was pounding. There was something very specific that I new we both wanted to do but I was to shy to broach the subject or to even say anything. I had been a priest all my life. I had only thought of it at a passing glance but never dreamed of it actually happening, until the time came with Chibi-Usa, but that still would have been a few years away. Now it was right here laid, quite literally, bare before me.

He moved the lock of hair behind my ear and looked me in the eyes. "I think you know what I want."

I swallowed and nodded. "I believe so."

"So then you know I'll only wait if you're not ready to." He leaned forward and kissed me on the lips lightly.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just sudden. Not tonight, but very soon." I smiled. "I promise."

He nodded and we just lay on the bed holding each other.

The next day progressed much like normal. I tended the garden and the Golden Crystal, Endymion conducted his kingly duties.

Again that night I went to him. Again he asked and I said not yet.

"I'm leaving in the morning. I have a meeting at one of our embassies the day after so I'll be gone for probably four or five days, depending on how things go."

"It'll be quiet while you're gone."

"I'll be back as soon as possible my love."We stayed like that for a while until we fell asleep.

I saw the king off the following morning and went back to the gardens to do my regular duties. The day dragged on, knowing it would be sometime before I saw him again. But eventually the day wore on and turned to night and I came to a realization. If I missed him this much while we only had an emotional connection what would it be like once we were physically connected and he had to go away? How would I be able to handle it? There was only one person I could ask.

"Come in." came the call from beyond the door. I walked in and kneeled before Neo Queen Serenity. She motioned for her guards to leave her. As they left she looked at me and said, "I was told that you wished to speak with me in private."

I nodded and looked up at her. "There are two things. Firstly, I wish to thank you again for your blessings on the king and myself. That couldn't have been an easy thing to do. Secondly I wish to ask you a question."

She smiled at me. "Go ahead."

"You know how I feel about the King as your feelings were the same towards him. How did you deal with him being away as he is now, after you two had been together?" I hadn't meant it to sound so vague but she got my meaning.

"Together?" She raised an eyebrow and I blushed slightly, nodding. After a moment she said, "It was difficult at first. But just having that knowledge that he loves you and will be coming back to you and you alone are what help you go through the days." She stayed silent a few more minutes and then continued. "You have not slept with him yet have you?" I tilted my eyes downward and she chuckled. "He doesn't know you were unsure of yourself either then?" I stayed silent. Her manner became friendly. "My advice? Tell him how you felt when he gets back. There can be no greater proof of love than giving yourself to the one you can't live without."

I looked up and nodded. "Thank you so much Your Majesty." I took her words to heart and now could not wait for him to return to be with him even more than before. She waved me away and I left.

Helios stood and walked away from her. Silently she cursed him for reminding her of these feelings, but knew that it was no use. She fought back her tears. He reminded her of herself when she was still princess. Love-struck by a handsome man who adored her. But she knew him better than Helios did. Eventually he would grow tired of the young man as he had tired of her long ago. He was fickle like that. Eventually his heart would be broken just as hers' and her daughters' had been and all would suffer. But she knew it had to be done. Her silence now, her not warning him now would allow his heart to eventually break and would cause Endymion the greatest suffering possible, giving her her revenge.

Well there goes Chapter 1...It's shorter than I thought it was...Oh well, please R&R! Hope you enjoyed it! ^^
