Wow...long time since I updated and I sincerely apologize for that. Here is the next installment, and i have been working on future chapters and how to end the story.

Chapter 4
Rays of sunlight washed over Serenity through the window. She stirred slightly as she found there to be some odd noises coming through the said window. She sat on her bed as she concentrated on what that sound was. It was familiar; it was a light singing sound that had no actually tune. It was repetitious and high pitched. It was like no other instrument she had ever heard before. She pulled the covers aside and walked over to the window. She concentrated on the origin of the sound until she finally set her focus on a tree. Somewhere in that tree was a musical creature.
Serenity peered harder as she tried to get her vision to focus and sharpen. On a branch was a small feathered creature. It was perched on there with its beautiful colors just singing to no one in general. Serenity smiled as she realized that it was a bird. This planet had always held her fascination, but now that she was actually on it her curiosity had grown. What other mysteries did this planet hold? Serenity sat on the built in bench next to the window. She let the rays of sunshine bathe her in warmth and glitter across her skin.
What beauty there was here. What life was shown to her in just a matter of seconds from awakening. Just looking out into the world through this window she was reminded that every sacrifice was worth protecting this solar system. Her solar system.
"Queen Serenity I was told to infor-"
Serenity stood in surprise as one of the generals entered her room. His white hair and wide grey eyes let her know it was the leader. What was his name? Ah, Jedite. Serenity furrowed her brows quizzically as she wondered why the general was frozen solid and staring unabashedly at her. Serenity shivered as she felt the breeze come through the window and caress her hair and skin. It was with this small gesture of nature that Serenity realized she was in her sleeping gown. Her white sleeping gown. Her white-see-through –in-the-sun sleeping gown.
Jedite was sure he would have his eyes gouged out by her royal court later for this, but until then he let his eyes take their fill. By the gods, but no woman like this existed on Earth! Jedite was able to see her figure through the sheerness of the nightgown. He could see the curve of her hips, the roundness of her breasts, and the slender figure of her body. The way the sun hit her hair made her glow. No wonder most of the townspeople referred to her as a goddess. She did look like one.
Serenity quickly walked over to her bed and snatched up her robe. She quickly put it on causing Jedite to snap out of his reverie. He coughed and then looked away with a slight blush.
"Please have the courtesy to knock next time General Jedite," Serenity said demurely.
"Yes, ahem, forgive me. I guess the King is not the only one not used to entertaining ladies," Jedite said turning his back towards the queen.
"What did you need to tell me with such urgency?" Serenity said pulling his shoulder so that he would turn around to face her.
Jedite faltered as he looked into her eyes. God they were bluer than the sky. "I was…told to inform you…that your outer court has been updated as to the Earth's status in regards to the new threat."
Serenity lowered her eyes in a pinch of sadness. She did not want to battle anymore. War was just not in her, but alas she is Queen. Regardless of the suffering she was enduring the potential losses of all the planets, orders must be given and followed.
"Thank you General Jedite. Anything further?"
"The King requests to have breakfast in the gardens this morning. When you and the rest of the princess' are ready, I and the other generals will escort you ladies there," Jedite said regaining his composure fully.
"Alright then. I will have someone call for you when we are ready. Thank you," Serenity said in a dismissive tone. Jedite bowed swiftly as he left.
He closed the door behind him and made his way to the throne room where the others would be waiting for him. The image of the Moon Goddess did not leave his mind. There was no woman on Earth with that kind of figure and skin. Though she would look much better with darker hair…His feet were walking of their own accord as his mind entertained lustful thoughts. It was not until his feet had stopped and someone waved their hand in his face that Jedite snapped out of his shock.
"What's with you Jed?" asked an all too condescending brunette.
Jedite quirked a brow. "I think the Gods are finally collecting recompense for my usually blessed nature," he said with a small grin reaching his face, "because what just happened had to be the highpoint of it."
"I don't know if I would call what you have 'blessed nature.' More like you have more lives than a cat when it comes to your usual problem inducing antics," Zoicite said with a wolfish grin.
"Well let's hope I haven't used them all. I might just need one when I tell you…,"Jedite said with smug expression, sitting down on his respective chair. The other two men raised their brows and leaned forward as if issuing Jedite to continue. Kunzite stayed aloft with a book in hand feigning disinterested, though everyone failed to notice that his book was upside down.
"As usual you're all talk. Quite being a bother will you? We have actual work to do now," said Nephrite annoyed. Take the bait…
"I will share, just let me enjoy this for a moment longer," Jedite said reminiscing with his eyes closed and exaggerating a blissful sigh. Then he let out a breath and opened his eyes. "There is no woman on Earth who can compare to what I saw this morning. Of course it was all by accident," Jedite started reassuringly.
"Shit. Please don't tell me you were spying on the princess'," said Kunzite with a groan.
Jedite was grinning toothily now, basking in the knowledge he had. "No. Like I said this was a complete accident. Actually it's your fault Kunz."
"Me? It's only nine in the morning. For rational people it has not been enough time to begin mischiefs," Kunzite reprimanded, "And whatever you've involved yourself in, don't include me."
"We're getting off topic here," Nephrite said, "Now you. Talk," he said looking at Jedite.
Jedite sank into his chair casually. "Well I am telling the truth. It started with Kunzite. He asked me to deliver a bit of new to the Moon Queen."
Kunzite groaned and foresaw where this was going without having to hear the rest of the occurrence. He has sent Jedite this morning to the Queen to deliver an update because he was busy with other matters. How the hell-
"It was a simple task, Jed, simple. How in the name of Hades did you manage to screw this up?" Kunzite asked with a tight voice. Jedite grinned even more inwardly. He loved taunting the stoic general. It was the only time he showed a reaction other than a combative one.
Jedite shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. "As you know we don't usually entertain ladies of stature. Well let's just say that propriety was not at the top of my head this morning when I walked into the Queen's bedchambers and saw her in her night ware. Her very sheer night ware," he ended with a grin.
Before any of the generals could jump onto the confession Jedite had just made, a deep curious voice interrupted them.
"And who was this you saw Jed?" came the deep voice of their king. The four men stood up as they saluted their monarch. Endymion signaled them to sit and looked at them amusedly.
"Well are you going to answer or what?" asked their King with a cocked brow.
The four generals lowered their eyes not knowing what say, but Kunzite cleared his throat. "It seems that ol' Jed here got an eyeful of the Queen this morning."
The two other generals grinned except for Jedite. "I am going to gut you like a pig!" Jedite said angrily at Kunzite.
"I don't think you will live long enough for that," Zoicite said forebodingly. The amusement died down and the four generals returned their attention to the king who looked less than amused. Endymion felt his hand tighten around the arm of his chair. His jaw was clenched as he tried to calm his emotions. He knew that some of his gestures were already caught by his men, so he would have to play this off.
"My King?" offered Jedite, "It truly was an accident."
"I believe you," Endymion offered with a tight voice, "Let's just not repeat what you saw this morning. We must keep respect intact while there are women in the palace."
"Of course majesty," said Jedite cordially.
"You, Neph,and Zoi adorn yourselves fit for entertaining princesses. You will be accompanying them to breakfast away from their Queen and I. We have much to talk about this morning. Kunzite stay behind," the king said with a firm tone.
The three generals left the throne room, Kunzite giving Jedite a challenging grin. "Wait until I don armor and go out to train. I am going to make it difficult for Death to know what you are," Jedite said in a deathly whisper to Kunzite. Kunzite merely grinned at the blonde general.
"Don't keep me waiting," Kunzite mocked.
There was only an irate King and general left not looking at each other. Endymion stood and walked over to his general. Kunzite just kept his gaze down as he heard Endymion's steps halt before him. Kunzite felt a pressure on his shoulder and looked up to see his king looking at some point over his shoulder furiously. Kunzite furrowed his brows; he knew that Endymion could not be this mad over what had been seen or said about the queen.
"I've known you the longest Kunzite," Endymion started, "As much I appreciate the friendship of Jed and the others, you're the one who's been my man of confidence."
"Is there something you need to talk to me about King Endymion?" Kunzite asked now with true concern growing in him. Kunzite was indeed the confidant of the king, but never in his recollection had he seen Endymion this distracted.
"Kunz you know that I've had women come and go in this palace," Endymion said taking his hand away from his friend's shoulder and taking a step back, "I haven't once laid a thought to settling down."
"You are known for your charms, Endymion."
"Maybe it's that we haven't really had women of their stature around us, or perhaps that we lost so many memories of the previous kingdom and Earth, or it could just be that every man has his time," Endymion said though not particularly at anyone.
"Endymion we are about the same age. What could you possibly think is in 'our time?'"
Endymion clenched his jaw again and finally regarded Kunzite. "I think I am starting to fancy a woman."
Kunzite always tried to maintain a stoic, dead pan face, but this was highly unexpected news. He knew that whatever woman had caught the attentions of his king was not from Earth. She couldn't be. Most of the women here bored Endymion.
"Let me guess….One of the foreign royals?"
"Serenity in specific," Endymion said with a growl in his voice.
Kunzite looked over at his King. Endymion's jaw was clenched, his fist would close and open, and he had a fixed look with furrowed brows. Ok, so he is infatuated by the Moon Queen, but it would leave his system soon. It surely must be lust. Endymion was not shy with commitment, but Kunzite knew that up to current his king, his friend, had not shown any signs of wanting to settle down. Who said anything about settling down? This is a matter of the loins. The Queen is a rare beauty indeed.
"Your highness it will pass. This is merely a passing fancy because you finally have in your midst women who can defend themselves, are intelligent, and rare beauties. I would be lying if I said that I was not affected as well."
Endymion shook his head releasing his tightened fist. "What if its more than that?," the King said moving to sit on his throne, "Besides, she's untouchable."
A woman was untouchable? Surely being a queen the Lunarian was harder to get alone due to her court, but untouchable? Kunzite scoffed, "What makes you say that? If it's her court surely the men and I could-"
"It's not her guardians. It's her law," Endymion said slamming his fist on the table in front of him, "She cannot entertain male suitors…. The queen can never marry."
Kunzite did not hide the surprise at the King's confession. What type of queen did not marry? Kunzite brought a finger to his chin pensively. As he studied his King's demeanor Kunzite noted what it truly was that was affecting the royal. The Queen could not marry. Endymion had been privy to many women since he took the throne, but truthfully he has never met a woman who could keep him on his toes. Queen Serenity was at his caliber. She was smart, royal, and beautiful. Most importantly, she understood rigors, sacrifices, and the hardships of running a kingdom and the galaxy. All qualities that the King can appreciate in a mate. Kunzite made a swift decision as his thoughts led him a one conclusion. The King cannot feed into his enthrallment of the Lunarian queen. What's more, she had to leave. Soon.
"Majesty I don't foresee a problem," Kunzite said, "You are not looking for a wife."
Endymion bought Kunzite's uncertainty because surely to his general, all of this looked like Endymion wanting a woman's company for the night. It was more than that though. Endymion felt possessive of her. Ever since her arrival yesterday there had been something that birthed and cultivated within him just at the sight of her. Until today he did not understand what it was. When Jedite had mentioned that he had seen Serenity almost naked, Endymion wanted nothing more than to hit his best friend. It was the same something that he had felt when Venus had told him about the law. In his mind she was his. He toiled with the fact that Serenity belonged to him, is meant for him, yet she is forbidden to. Her court and law held her at arm's bay, when the truth was she was already his.
Last night all that talk about her possible death unnerved him because he wanted to fight for her, not with her. He wanted to take that evil that was harming the solar system and destroy it himself so that Serenity would not have to shoulder the burden. But this didn't make sense. Endymion had only known Serenity for a mere few hours. Why did she spark such strong emotions within him? Why the hell was she so different from any other skirt that had walked in this palace?
Endymion sighed, "I am not sure what I feel or think, Kunzite. All I know is that I fee…l something."
"You feel for her…after just one day?" Kunzite asked skeptically, skillfully keeping his facial features and his tone of voice incredulous. "This strong pull for the Queen is the pull that every man feels at the sight of a beautiful woman. And especially her, since she is at your matching. She is appreciative of your responsibility as a monarch," he supplied hoping the King would catch his bait, "She holds the same weight."
Kunzite was very artfully trying to make the King doubt himself. After all what he was saying was only logical. The King had indeed not met a woman in a position of such power as Serenity. The male need to dominate a woman like that was innate, deeply rooted within the male genetic code. Endymion was the only man in this galaxy that held a position of power like the Queen. Kunzite could easily play this card.
Endymion stood and pinched the bridge of his nose as he took in a deep breath. "Perhaps you are right," he said moving his hand away from his face and giving the general a smirk, "Putting aside her crown, she is still just a woman. Our similarities just make her so much more…"
"Understood, my King," Kunzite said chuckling, "It may be wise to think that she has probably sparked feelings within every man she's met. You have not entertained cultured women like her before. The queen is young and very innocent looking, but I believe she is aware of her wiles…and how to use them. "
Endymion laughed hollowly and sent Kunzite a smile with a quirked brow. "A mere woman is a king's curse."
Kunzite grinned wolfishly. "Yes, but sometimes, just sometimes, consequences be damned."
Serenity dressed in a regal white gown that was off the shoulder and had a gold patterned design accentuating her breasts and then going down the middle. She wore her hair in the traditional bun style that her mother wore. As she looked in the mirror she thought back to when Jedite had seen her. She noticed the impact her appearance had had on the Earthen general. Could she have the same effect on the king? Serenity knew that she was not ill-looking, but was she alluring? Could she be seductive? Silly Serena, you know you shouldn't think those things. Don't get your hopes up. Growing up as a senshi since the age of 14 and then finding out she was to be the monarch in the future, Serenity never entertained the idea of being feminine in a sense to gain a man. As she thought back to Jedite's shocked gaze, a small smile spread on her lips subconsciously. While she was still here perhaps she could flex this new muscle she found….Perhaps flirt a little?
Serenity cleared her head and thought rationally. She could never make such plans with another male. She wouldn't even let herself fantasize. It just hurt too much to know that she could never have what other normal women had. But my god…the King. He has this aura around him that…All I can think about when I am around him is being alone with him. Serenity finished adorning her jewelry and entered the parlor room that adjoined all the bedrooms of the guardians. No one was out there yet. Serenity was impatient to get down to breakfast. She knew why, but she would not admit it out loud not even to her self. She wanted to see the King again. Their private talks had made her curious about the men of Earth. They had always seemed so barbaric to her, brutish in a way. She looked around as she made her way out of the chambers. She wanted to know more about this beautiful world. Perhaps the King could show her his planet.
With that in mind she decided to head down to the dining room. The only sound that could be heard in the hallway was the click-clack of her shoes. She turned the corner and entered the dining room only to find it void of any man. Princess Venus however, was busy adorning the table for breakfast. Serenity smiled warmly at her friend, though her heart felt sadness. She truly loathed punishing her subordinates. Venus looked up from the dishes on the table to find her queen smiling warmly at her. Venus quickly took a knee with one hand across her chest.
"Good morning, my Queen," addressed Venus cordially.
Serenity walked over to her friend and bid her to stand. "How are you Princess Venus?"
Venus stood and knew that her queen would know if she lied. "The tasks are taxing my Queen, but nothing undeserved."
"You know I do not like this anymore than you Mina. You're fiery spirit and your passionate determination is part of the qualities that make you," Serenity said coming closer and putting a delicate hand on her Venusian Guardian's face, "But there are times when control over such attributes needs to be exercised."
"I understand my Queen."
Mina was awarded with another smile from her queen. "I'll never understand how being a woman of your planet you are very unlike the others…," Serenity mused, "Another thing Venus, the King has honored us with his full support with our future battles with Beryl. After our last two days here, you are reinstated to your post and will be staying behind with the inner scouts to begin calibrating the planet. You will also be receiving information the Outers may have and relaying it to the King. Understood?"
"Yes my Queen," Venus said with a hand over her chest in salute.
Serenity smiled happy to know that her friend did not harbor anger in her direction. "Well, is this where we are to eat breakfast?"
Mina chuckled at how her friend's love of food did not change. "No my Queen," Venus said, "Breakfast is outside this morning. I believe the King is there now."
Serenity nodded. "On my leave will be your last day doing these chores. Please tell the generals to escort the other scouts to breakfast."
Mina nodded and left in search of her fellow scouts. Serenity smiled after her and then turned to walk ahead. The light of the sun was visible through the hallway making it easy to decipher that the exit to the garden was in this direction. Serenity blinked a few times to adjust her eyes to the intensity of the sun's rays. The sun did not shine like this on the Moon. She found the table and had indeed already been set for breakfast, but as Serenity looked around the appeal of the bright contrasting colors of green, pink, red, and white caught her. The light aroma of the flowers filled her nares. She walked over the left and saw that there was a very small body of water adorned with flowers all around it. There was a small white marble bench that was placed there on purpose. Serenity sat on the marble bench and leaned down to poke her finer in the body of water. It was a cool sensation that she felt as she swirled her finger around the water.
There were little fishes that she could see swimming around to avoid her finger. Serenity closed her eyes and inhaled deeply the scent of the fresh water, the flowers, and the freshness of the morning. What a beautiful planet.
"Enjoying yourself my Lady?" whispered a deep voice.
Serenity opened her eyes, startled, and removed her hand from the body of water. She turned and glared lightly at the King.
"I was until you interrupted."
Endymion smirked. He had not meant to intrude, but as he rounded the corner of the tall bush just saw her there. Sitting in the sun with her silver hair shining and her arm extended towards the water. The glow of her skin in the sun along with the sheerness of the dress made it hard for him to resist talking to her. Endymion knew at that moment. He wanted her. Her law be damned.
Serenity rose and cleaned the water off of her hand. She looked towards the King and took in his handsome appearance this morning. He seemed to still be wearing armor, just a different suit. He still looked as masculine and handsome as ever.
"I told Venus to tell your generals to escort my council down. I am sure it won't be long so we can eat," Serenity said looking at the food a second too long. Endymion laughed.
"Yes, but I do hope that you are not waiting on them to eat," Endymion said putting his hand the small of her back to move her towards the table.
Serenity suppressed a shiver at the contact, and looked at him puzzled. "Of course I am. It would be rude to start without them," she said softly as she demurely left his embrace.
"Yes my Lady, but they will not be eating with us. I have asked my generals to accompany them to eat elsewhere," Endymion said with an inner smirk. Her discomfort at his touch did not go unnoticed. How does it affect her I wonder? Is she disgusted? Intrigued? Or simply not used to male contact? An inner grin grew within him as he thought about other ways to garner more reactions from her.
Serenity turned looked at him with slight indignance, her mouth already open to retort. "What gives you the right to do that?"
Endymion stopped and looked at Serenity dead in the eyes. "Because I wish to have you to myself for a time."
Serenity looked down not being able to take the rawness in the eyes of the King. She did not say anything, but merely took her seat at the table. Serenity felt a sort of womanly rush go through her. She suddenly wished to be just as bold and the King, to be able to convey her wiles to him. What had Mina called it? Ah yes, to flirt.
"Then you may have me," Serenity said looking up at him once and then coyly looking back down.
Endymion grinned wolfishly on the inside. The Queen was far too innocent and naïve to reciprocate his banter, but oh did she try. Endymion took his seat and began what he knew would be an interesting meal.
"I thought we would be eating inside," Mercury stated timidly.
Zoicite touched her hand that was already on his arm reassuringly. "The monarchs have expressed their wishes to continue to speak in private about their arrangement," the long-haired general said. He wasn't technically lying was he? He looked over to the see the timid princess blush at his contact with her hand. He smiled at this. This princess was smart. It was noted in her walk, talk, and manner that she was bred to be intelligent and self-reliant. However, all of her tutoring must have been in the palace behind closed doors because she was very evasive and uneasy in his presence. Her eyes speak of brilliance, but her modesty speaks of her.
"Where will you have us go?" Ami asked finally looking up to see Zoicite's blue eyes looking at her pensively.
"I rather have just you and me go to anywhere you would like to explore," Zoicite found himself saying. He knew he should not be getting the princess alone, but there was this pre-existing feeling that he had to. He wanted to be solely selfish. She may be fragile and timid, but who knows how she would act without the rest of her court around her. He had been the first of the generals to go off and look for the princess'. Zoicite already had an inner selfish feeling when it came to the blue-haired princess. He had not wanted to the generals to try to get to her. He knew his friends well. Ami being so modest and shy, she was an easy target to them. A challenge to win.
Ami blushed again, but liked the idea exploring the new planet. She had been absolutely itching to study the new life of this uncharted planet. She already knew from her tutelage on Mercury that this planet was simply lush with water. Many bodies of water waited for her to commune with. All their secrets in fluid motion inviting her like a finger wagging at her. She regarded the man who currently held her hand in the crook of his elbow. She was nervous about the close contact that the general currently held her in. On her small planet the only man who touched her was her over-protective father. King Calder had raised Ami with a methodic hand. He wanted her brimming with knowledge, a pool of intelligence. Ami loved bringing pride to her father's eyes in that respect. He was training her to become a very powerful queen of the planet Mercury. King Calder had Ami's mother, Queen Naida, show Ami how to be a proper lady, to follow the rules of royal etiquette. Queen Naida was proper, graceful, and almost fluid like. In King's Calder's eyes, his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world. Ami grew up in a home where she saw love every time she looked at her parents.
Despite her father however, Queen Naida had talked very briefly to Ami about men. How she should never close her heart off to the possibility of love. Queen Naida was not a hopeless romantic, but she was lucky in love. Ami could never do as her mother wanted though. When the time came for her father to introduce her to court, he never did. In spite of his wife making him sleep in informal common room, King Calder never gave. Ami was 19 and had never been bestowed to a suitor. She had never had a man bring her a trinket of affection. Not even a flower. So when it came to men she was inept. When it came to being in her space and keeping her close to them, she was terrified. As she thought over the general's question though, she found herself asking about something oddly comforting and familiar to her, "Show me your lakes!"
Zoicite laughed as he saw the sparkle appear in the princesses' eyes. "Right this way my Lady," he said veering them off to the left from the rest of the group. Ami simply went pink in the cheeks and kept her gaze downward. This was the closest she came to having a male suitor. She felt naughty at the fact that she was defying her father's wishes as the moment. She felt rebellious. As she sneaked a glance at Zoicite, she couldn't help but think, 'Father would have a fit!'
Rei saw Ami going off on her own with long-haired general. "Ami! Where are you going?" Mars shouted after her. However, Ami and the long-haired general were out of earshot.
"Relax, they'll be fine," Rei heard her green-eyed escort say. Rei glared at the general.
"And how exactly can you ascertain that? Do you know where they are going or what perils can befall them?" she asked strongly.
"No," Jedite said nonchalantly, "But I do know Zoicite. He would never let anything happen to your friend."
"I do not know your friend," Rei countered, "But I do know mine. Ami is…naïve when it comes to the company of men. Especially alone."
"Then don't you think it's about time that Princess Mercury learns?" Jedite retorted lightly.
Rei looked at the sandy haired general with a sarcastic eye. "I bet you just love learning, Lord Jedite."
Jedite raised his brows and blinked. "And how you know of any of my loves, Lady Mars?"
"I know of your escapades while you were stationed at Mars, Lord Jedite," Rei said simply.
Jedite wanted to mentally smack himself. He had been on Mars for a month speaking with her council on trade relations with Earth. Even though Earth was not a part of the Silver Allegiance, they were still permitted to trade with the planets. Jedite had been there to negotiate trade of resources, mainly the eterna-fires that Mars was famous for. It saved resources on Earth to have fire that burned without needing fuel. It had been a long month for poor Jedite. The maids and courtiers had turned that month into the most brazen and shameless time for him.
Rei saw the smug smile that came to the generals' face as he reminisced. She took her had abruptly from his arm of escort. "If you plan to rehash your mischief while I am at present, please do have the consideration to excuse yourself," Rei said indignantly.
Jedite looked to the fiery princess and shrugged nonchalantly. "I would think it a complement, personally, if it were me."
Rei looked at the general with intrigued surprise. "How on Ares' red planet did you come to that opinion, my Lord?" Rei asked with restraint. She had only met this man for a few minutes and her opinion? He was already acting a fool.
"Simple Princess Mars," Jedite said stepping behind Rei and putting a bold hand strongly around her waist so that she would be halted against his chest, "Out of all the planets I have been to, yours boasts the most passionate lovers. More so than that of Venus. The truly exhilarating question is, as the princess and the embodiment of Mars' fire," Jedite said huskily, gripping Rei a little tighter around the middle, "How passionate are you?"
When she had felt Jedite's arm snake around her middle, Rei was so astonished she barely had time to react. When he had started to speak so deliciously into her ear, Rei had closed her eyes and savored the shiver that ran up her spine and spread goose bumps upon her skin. When he had gripped her even more tightly around her waist, the Princess of Mars had melted of sheer feeling. Rei let a small whimper leave her mouth. She thanked Mars' sacred fire that he wore long sleeves and that her abdomen was covered. The daring general didn't know of Rei's ability to feel people's essences through physical contact. She was sure she would have moaned if she had felt her lust and his. Holy Mars, she would have assaulted him.
She took her lace covered hand and gripped the one that was currently around her waist. Reason and reality were coming back to her slowly, but surely. She removed it from her body and threw it with force from her hand. She turned and met the sandy haired general with a steady eye. Her violet orbs were calm, never betraying what she truly felt inside.
She put a hand to the side of his face and brought her mouth close to his face,"You are human, Lord Jedite. I am sure you would never survive the answer to that question," Rei said deadly calm, pulling her hand away from the side of his face and conjuring a flame on one of her fingers, then blowing it out. She gave him a brief look up and down making her meaning clear.
With that she walked away from the general. What she did not see as she turned was the grin of pure victory on Jedite's face. He had felt her shiver in his arms. He had heard her sound of want when he had gripped her. Indeed, her passion he would feel soon.
So there you have it. I will update with much more steamy stuff later. I will tell you now to keep on the look out for Mercury and Zoi, and Lita and Neph. They, I think, are the steamiest couples...At least so far.
Have a great week,
Marina
