Chapter 4: A Second Chance?
Darien stood there in shock. He just came here to purpose marriage & she's saying she doesn't love him!! He couldn't believe it. Someone or something was stopping her, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nervous.
He ran into her room & locked the balcony door after closing them. He didn't want someone to run in & find him in her room.
"Give...give me a reason...please", Darien said. He tried to sound brave, but the feelings that were coursing through him made him break down.
Serena was crying fully at this point. She knew she loved him. She KNEW! But the feeling of guilt washed over her knowing she was promised to someone else yet she was with someone. She embraced Darien tightly as she told him.
"Darien, I'm engaged to be married to Prince Justinian. It was planned for years. But I don't love him! I don't!! You have to believe me. I do love you!", she sobbed onto his shoulder.
Darien stood there, still as a bored while Serena held him & cried. The love of his life couldn't be his. he couldn't marry here even if he wanted to.
No!! I won't give her up so easily!!
He hugged her back & sat down with her on her bed to calm her down. He held her gently & whispered his love to her in her ear.
"Serena, my princess...don't worry. I'll figure out a way for our love to come through all this. I know it'll come true. It's our dream right?
Serena look up at him. He was smiling that wonderful smile that caught her at the ball 2 weeks ago. She smiled through her silent tears & nodded. "yes...It is", she said.
He kissed her. Happy she was calm now & in his arms again. It was now or never. He should ask now. Darien got down on 1 knee & held her hands. Serena didn't know what was going on & just watched him.
"Serena", Darien began nervously. "I know we've only known each other fore 2 weeks, but my love for you is stronger than any known power in the universe. I know we can be together if we work hard. And I love you more than anything. Princess Serenity, will you marry me?".
Holy Moon Beams!! He asked me to marry him!! It's my dream come true! But what about mom and dad? They're flip a moon rock if they knew. And Justinian would kill me. Wait, why do I care about his feelings? He doesn't care about mine! Maybe mom & dad will be understanding if I just explain things to them. Maybe our love & marriage will make peace between our worlds.
Serena was taking so long to think, she started to worry Darien. His brow twitched with worry thinking she was going to say no. She noticed this & quickly spoke up.
"Yes!", she exclaimed. "I'll marry you, Endymion!". She smiled.
Darien jumped up & spun her around in his arms. She was his! He was Hers! They would, hopefully, be together forever. Only one thought was going through his mind.
There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life
Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you
Serena was crying too at this point. It was out of happiness this time. As soon as dawn comes, she would run to her parents & explain her feelings. She prayed they would understand. If she couldn't have him, she would just die.

Darien noticed the sheer nightgown that Serena had on. It was light & barely there. He couldn;t help but let his mind wonder, & so did his hands. His loving touched caused Serena to emit soft moans & pleas. Soon his lips found her & they kissed more passionately.
Serena was in a daze. She never felt anything like this with anyone. She had never been with a man before in this way, & she was enjoying every moment. She knew that this was considered sinful before marriage, but at this point, she didnt care.
Darien lifted her into his arms & laid her out on her king sized bed. He laid on top of her & kept his weight on his arms so he wouldn't crush her. He pressed his lips onto her again, his tongue pleading for entry. When Serena opened her mouth, their tongues started an erotic dance. The touches &moans were heightening to an incredible level that would be impossible to turn back now.
Soon clothing was scattered around the floor of Serena's bedroom. The moans & sighs got louder & longer as the couple consummated their love for the first time.
