My dearest readers: Ah, yes, I know. I'm sorry! I've been a bad author. So I apologize. But this semester has been insane. But it's almost over and I hope to devote some of my summer to completing Glimpse and Falling Is Like This. But patience. Please. And reviews and love (are welcome) too. Much love. PrincessJade.

100 Drabbles of Usagi & Mamoru

Her ankles are dainty stems, covered with the palest stretch of skin he's ever seen. Beneath, he knows her bones are regal, a structure of ivory marrow fit for a queen. He caresses them with a warrior's hand—strong and sure.

"Endymion." She warns, watching his hand as it creeps beneath her shimmering skirts.

"Serenity." He mocks her tone, fingers sliding up to curl coercively, like his words, around her fragile knees.

"We can't."

"We can."

"We cannot." She presses a silver orchid, full bloom like her smile, against his devilish mouth. "You can wait."

"I can." He agrees, gently spreading her thighs. "But I just want a kiss."

"A kiss?"

"Just one—one long kiss." He murmurs and watches her with hooded eyes. "Yes?"

"Yes…just one long…ah, Endy—" She squeaks in surprise as his head disappears beneath her skirts.

"Shh, my love."

At last, she finally drops the orchid with a sigh, hands grasping at his dark hair, Endymion knows this afternoon will be sublime.
