NOTE: I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR ANY MISPELLINGS OR SUCH. AT LEAST I GOT THE UPDATE FOR YOU PEOPLES :) SORRY IT'S SHORT, AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT THE UPDATE OUT
Serenity shivered as he pulled her closer to his chest. Her golden tresses hung freely on the other side of his arm as they walked. The only noise to be heard was the soft patter of Endymion's footsteps. As she snuck a look at him, he looked down at her and glared. *Great...he's not in a good mood.* She thought dismally as he stopped in front of his chambers. "Hey, buddy, thanks for the ride, but I think I'll be heading to bed now. Mind putting me down?"
"Don't even think about it. You're staying here with me tonight. I don't care what you want. You're going to learn here on earth the MAN is the authority, not the woman." He told her as he walked into his room, slammed the door behind him, and bolted two locks, one of which Serenity couldn't reach because of the height. After doing this, he walked over to the bed in five strides and threw her on it.
Serenity struggled off the bed and onto the floor which was only a few feet in diameter. She hurried to get out of the narrow place, but Endymion quickly stopped her by placing his arm in front of her on the wall.
He flashed her a grin, "Well, well Princess, and where might we be going?"
Serenity backed up a few paces. For each step she took backwards, Endymion took a step towards her. This continued until Serenity's back hit the wall. *Oh shit...* She thought as she saw Endymion grin. Glaring at him, she said, "I'd like to go to my chambers right now."
"Oh really? However come?"
A smile formed on her full lips. "Because. You see, I like you the most out of all the Princes I have ever met...And I wouldn't want to scare you away when you see how unintelligent I am...Since you ARE my favorite..." *What the...this is my great idea? Oy!* Inwardly she smacked her head.
Endymion closed the distance between them. Her chest was pressed against his. Once more he sensed her discomfort. "Oh really...Then, my lady, please have no worries. I find you most intriguing. And since I AM your favorite...shall we settle our debate over the wager we have?"
She glared at him. So, he wasn't as stupid as he could be. "There is no debate over the wager. I have asked you no questions since the last...recount."
"Hmph! Oh really? Did you not ask me who I was earlier?" He questioned as if he already knew the answer. Which he did know the answer.
Serenity's mouth dropped. She DID ask him. "But...That...Not fair!...didn't count!" She stuttered.
Endymion chuckled. He put his hand under her chin and locked eyes with her. "I assure you, it DID count."
Angrily, she whipped her head out of his embrace and attempted to push him off of her.
*How dare she...* Before she could get free, each one of his hands found one of her hands and pinned them to the wall. She struggled but soon found that her hands were stuck. She was trapped.
"I demand you let me go!" She yelled furiously.
"Princess, Princess, you should learn to control that temper. One day it shall get you into trouble, you know." He teased and leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose. She caught her breath in a most satisfactory way.
When she realized what he did, she frowned. "I know not this Princess you speak of." Then, she looked away from his gaze.
"Serenity, you are only fueling my anger." He told her and accentuated his statement by pushing himself against her more firmly.
She whipped her head around. "I am NOT Serenity. I am not your TOY. And I will NOT marry you. You will NOT treat me this way because I am not some ---"
With his eyes flashing furiously, he bent down and cut her off by placing his lips on hers. Swallowing her angry words and leaving her completely breathless. Serenity only struggled for a few moments, then stopped. Endymion pulled away with a wide smile on his face.
Serenity looked at the ground. Her hands were still pinned to the wall.
"Who are you?" He demanded.
"Princess Serenity of the Moon." She stated.
"Who are you going to marry?" He inquired smugly.
At this question, she looked up at him with sadness in her eyes. For some reason, he felt his heart tear at the look but said nothing. "I am going to marry --" She paused for a moment. Her eyes flashed angrily and she finished her statement. "someone whom I love. NOT AN ARROGANT EARTH PRINCE!"
Endymion's mouth was wide open. *How dare she!* "HOW DARE YOU! Do you know who you're talking to?!" He let go of her hands and grabbed her shoulders. He shook her and then pushed her against the wall. "I will not tolerate being spoken to like that!"
His actions scared her, and she felt her disguise fade as his grip on her shoulders caused bruises. She slumped against the wall as her ankle gave out under her. She bowed her head to keep him from seeing her bruises reappear. *Crap...*
Endymion watched as Serenity leaned against the wall and looked at the floor. *What's wrong with her? I hope I didn't scare her...I didn't mean to lose my temper..* He let go of her shoulders and she fell all the way to the floor. "Serenity? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She finally managed to tell him still looking at the floor.
He reached down and grabbed her arm to help her up, but she yelped in pain. Confused, he knelt down beside her. "Are you okay?" He tilted her chin upwards again and gasped at what he saw.
She had a black eye on her left eye, and her right cheek had a bruise across it as one who was slapped would have. Her lip was bleeding, and she had bruises on her arms and shoulders from handprints. "I'm fine, leave me alone."
She went to stand up, but her ankle gave way. Luck for her Endymion caught her. "Why didn't you just tell me you were still hurt?" When she didn't answer, he finished. "Look Serenity, I'm sorry. It's just...I've never met someone so defiant yet so intriguing at the same time...Forgive me?"
She smiled weakly and nodded as he set her down on the bed. He crawled onto the bed next to her and sat up. One look at her drove him crazy...If only she had the same feelings he did...He leaned forward. When their eyes locked, he knew she wanted this as much as he did. He kissed her gently, and when she started kissing him back, the kiss became more desperate and passionate. His hands played with her golden tresses while her hands wrapped themselves around his neck. Finally, they broke apart moments later. And he sat back.
"Will you let me heal you?" He asked her.
She frowned. "No, I'm fine."
"You're far from fine. You can't even stand up on your own."
"The bone is fixed, but it's still sprained and the tendon was ripped. I can't heal all of it." She stated.
"Then, can I heal your bruises?" He asked earnestly.
"I suppose."
She watched him as he placed his finger to her forehead. Fuzzy feelings formed where her bruises were and slowly she felt them disappear.
"Your ankle still has much healing to do. You need to get some rest." He told her. Without asking, he placed his finger to her crescent moon on her forehead.
Her eyes drooped. "How dare--"
He kissed her protests gently away as she fell asleep. Laying down next to her, he wrapped his arms protectively around her waist as she snuggled closer to him. *Too bad she won't rememeber this...*
They both fell deep into dreams...and slowly dawn arrived.
Her eyes fluttered open and looked around. *Where am I?* She tried to sit up, but someone had her held too tightly around the waist. She layed back down and twisted around to face whoever was holding her. *What the hell!?* She tried to loosen his grip ,but her actions seemed to only make his hold grow stronger.
He felt something trying to pry Serenity out of his hold, and the movement woke him up. He woke to find a confused, angry, and beautiful Serenity. For a moment her forgot she didn't know what had happened. Not that anything HAD happened... "Morning, darling. How are you this morning?" And with that he kissed the tip of her nose.
For a moment she was speechlessly confused. "What in the hell is wrong with you? And why can't I remember anything about last night?!"
Before he could reply, she got up and stormed out of the room. Leaving Endymion a very confused man.
He smacked his head. *Dammit. That woman confounds me every time.*
