Chapter 11: Set in Motion
Endymion was waiting for me in his lounge. The others all sprawled at every corner of the room, taking comfort in their partner's arms. I got a glimpse of Raye and Jediet caught up in a an embrace, their lips roaming each other's faces to the left. I looked at where Endymion was, hoping that neither Rini nor Endy were bearing witness to that little display of primal lust.
They were not in the room.
"They are asleep. I had a maid bath and feed them before taking them to bed." I did not let myself think too much at that idea; I did not want to know which of the maids, Endymion had compelled to feed my children, besides the tone of his voice was openly challenging me to cause a scuffle over what he sees as the children's rights to his heritage. When it was clear that I had no intention of raising any conflicts, he met my eyes beckoning me forward.
"I find your behavior completely unacceptable." I screamed at him, paying nor mind to the other occupants of the room.
"My behavior. You were trying to give my children away to another man...after hiding them from me." He roared back at me getting angry along with me.
" They are mine as well, and seeing as how I not only brought them into this world, but raised them. I would have more say on who I want them to call a father." His eyes took on a murderous glint. The others in the room sensing his anger began to tense up.
" Don't bring that tone with me Serenity. They are as much mine as yours and you will not have another man raising them." Darien glared.
"Don't tell me what tone I can or cannot bring to you. I need to set some ground rules. You obviously think that you can rule our lives as you do your people. We are not your servants and I am not your lover."
"You mean we need to set some ground rules." Darien rose from his seat and came up to me. I turned around avoiding his scorching eyes and saw that all the other couples in the room were looking at us their eyes curiously fixated on our current issue.
Smiles brightening their faces.
Darien took notice as well and took a hold of my elbow, dragging me into his private quarter for a seemingly secluded chat...although with vampires in the other room, that would be completely useless.
"You cannot let Edward take the children." Endymion proclaimed even before we entered the room.
"They will live with me..."
"On occasion, they will be staying with me and mine as well."
"You cannot refuse them the right to call Edward father if they desire." His face twisted into an angry scowled, but I ignored it waiting for him to agree.
"They will not...but I agree to that...however, you will not deny them my heritage." I frowned, knowing full well what he meant by his heritage-blood, battle, and royalty.
"Perhaps..." He shook his head at that.
"Agree or I refute my earlier agreement about them calling Edward father."
"Fine...but you will not take them from me without permission, like you did today." He nodded and we continued on our does and don'ts. Coming to a series of conflicts, that we had had to place on hold so as to move on to the next one.
By the end of our conversation, Endymion was angry, his eyes intense and his chest puffed up. My face had taken on a red sheen, eyes huge, bright and blurry with un-spilled tears.
"Answer me?" Endymion murmured, looking at me I kept my eyes locked to his, but refused to let him know his most pressing question.
"Why did you leave me?" He asked again.
"I couldn't take it anymore...you, the idea of us. You were going to live for eternity, forever young and beautiful, and I would age with the passage of time...how would we work. I would die and you would move on to the next woman." My throat clogged and the words barely left my lips. Endymion's face softened and he moved coming to crouch right in front of me and taking my face into his hands to look into my eyes.
"You know that would never happen. I love you. It would not have mattered to me what your age was. Nor would I have cared how you looked in fifty human years... I love you Serena, you the feisty woman with the feistiest nerve, the woman who not only attempted to starve me, but in the process stole my heart with nothing more the honest truth of your lips. The woman who bore me children." His face softened at that. "and risked my wrath by running away with them." A devilishly cruel grin encased his face replacing the kindness of the earlier one.
"You serena, not your face, nor your beauty." He moved to kiss me, but I pulled my head backwards avoiding his eyes knowing full well the hurt that I had just invoked in him.
"But I would have died."
"Then I would have joined you... I would have joined you in death. Besides you know I would not have allowed it to happen. I would have eventually found a way to turn you, then we would forever be together." He kissed my forehead, sending a shiver down my spine. I could remember all of his tenderness from that one act of kindness, I was being plunged into nostalgia all over again and I could not take his nearness anymore. I would break.
I would give into him.
I needed to leave.
"I need to go...Get the kids we need to leave. Its almost dawn." I murmured getting up and heading towards the bed where my children lay sleeping.
Rini and Endy were sleeping on his massive bed, the covers nearly swallowing their tiny bodies.
A flash of what would have been, had I staid with Endymion ran through my mind.
This would have been a typical occurrence, Endymion, Rini, me and Endymion all together in one bed, sharing a bed, waking up together, taking solace in each other's arms. Relishing in the feel of each other's nearness, rather than running away from that very comfort.
"No you don't. Its far too late in the night for anyone to at the palace to be able to get you home. The others have left the hall, and I will not relinquish you to the hold of that Edward today..."
"Endymion." My voice became a tone of tirade and plea all in one.
He took my hand and led my tired body towards the bed.
"Stay the night Serena. Nothing will happen. I just need to have this happen once, to have all of you under my wing if not for eternity then at least for once. Please...for me." I nodded letting myself be defeated by his gentle plea. I climbed into his huge bed, resting besides Endy, he climbed on the otherside placing himself besides Rini. The twins were inside facing each other, curled up, making a small ball next to each other.
Endymion's hands drifted to my hair and he gently began to play with it. The same way he often did back then right after we finished making love. The motion was comforting and often sent me asleep fast.
I turned my head towards him and smiled gently at him taking notice of the fact that he was leaning on his elbow, looking down at us with some unknown emotion etched deeply into his eyes.
I feel asleep without thinking twice about the fact that this was Endymion and that only moments ago he had sworn to steal me away from Edward.
Or that I was engaged to another man.
I woke up alone in bed, I couldn't remember where I was until the scent of his skin hit him hard on and my body began to heat up. I got up and took the covers off of me, looking around at the room.
I heard noise in the bathroom and got up, fully clothed.
"Endymion?" A maid ran out her head bowed.
"No ma'am...um he is..."She took a quick look into the bathroom and blushed furiously before looking back at me, bowing down and rushing back into the bathroom where a series of plashes and giggles accompanied her entrance.
A part of me was disgusted, another part was angry.
How dare he.
In my presence.
While I slept in his bed.
I stormed into the bathing room.
Endymion was seated in a huge pool, and several young maids, new maids were sprawled around him slowly and jovially bathing him.
The Bastard.
"Where are they?" I asked, meeting his smug gaze with a frosty one of my own. Endymion shrugged his shoulders at me, shaking his head from side.
"I sent them off with Malachite to a little hunting trip...they need the practice...lots of it." He shrugged and I nodded moving towards the door.
"Join me!" His mock invitation sent my blood boiling. I turned around to glare at him intently.
"No. I'd much rather be with Edward... When Endy and Rini return please make sure that a maid accompanies them to Edward's place, I'll be there for the duration of the month...until the wedding in fact." I smiled back at him, seeing the red anger returning to his face.
Knowing exactly what I intended to do at Edward's until the children returned...much later as I was certain Malachite had no intention of returning back anytime before nightfall.
He loved his hunting far too much.
"There will be no wedding." Endymion retorted.
"We shall see. I am certain that once he claims be, the magistrate would see it fit to allow us to wed, after all a mother of three with no male figure will be shunned as a whore and I certainly would not want that to happen to me."He raised a brow at me,
"mother of three?" I smiled at his question.
"Well I am certain Edward wants children." I murmured, standing back as he rose from the bath sending water splashing everywhere and causing the girls to shriek...some in fear others in excitement.
He glared and them and sent them out by pointing towards the door, they all ran out afraid. He got out of the tub, fully unashamed of his nudity.
Endymion walked towards me...coming closer and closer until I was placed between him and the bathroom wall, the door to my right.
His hard, naked, masculine and tense body trapping me there. He lifted my head with his hands forcing me to meet his cold unfriendly eyes.
That look I knew too well, it was a look I had not been introduced to before, but had seen him direct it towards his enemies, causing them to shrivel under it.
I was somewhat frightened by the threat the look presented, but not frightened enough to let him know.
"You are not having his children." His voice was barely a whisper, but it was laced with so much ice that I shivered at the very thought of what he intended to do.
"It is inevitable when a man and a woman come together then..." He placed a hand over my mouth and moved even closer towards me, sending his thick masculine body right against my clothed shivering one. Making his tick malehood press against my stomach.
"Nothing but this..." He nudged his body towards me, making his shaft rub against my stomach..."is going to enter yours." He released me. Vanishing from my presence. I fell to the floor, shaken up.
Both from the fear and from the uncontrollable wanting that was sending liquid fire pooling between my legs.
"If I know Endymion like I do, he would be on his way to castrate that friend of yours." Amy's soft voice sounded from besides me. I looked up and saw her bright blue eyes looking down at me. A gentle smile decorating her pixie like face.
"How did you..."
"I saw a bunch of maids running out of here like a demon was sent loose and I got suspicious remembering the condition under which Endymion left here in pursuit of you yesterday." She took my hand and picked me up.
"Let us go before he does too much damage." Amy came up to me taking my hand, in preparation to teleport me away. *****************************************
