Breaking the Ice
Chapter 3
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serenity stomped her way up the flight of stairs, mumbling to herself along the way.
"How *dare* he?! Arg, that man will be the death of me! Just WHO does he think he is??"
Serenity barged into her room, gathered her things, and returned back to the entrance to meet with the group.
"Alright ladies, let us go to the stables." The Prince spoke courteously, as he led them out the door.
The horses were a sight to see, but they weren't horses, they were stallions. Beautiful stallions they were, with silky coats of ebony or cream. Serenity stepped lightly towards a beautiful black stallion, and stuck out her hand.
"You might not want to.........."
But the Prince never got to finish his sentence. He gazed in wonder at the one other soul that had ever been able to approach Shadow. Her hand travelled across his nose, then his mane, as he whined contentedly. All who worked in the stables even stopped to notice the young woman tending to the stubborn stallion.
"What?" Serenity asked as she looked around at the surprised people around her. "Have I done something wrong?"
The Prince gathered his composure. "Of course not Princess, it is only that never has another person been able to approach Shadow but I...........it was quite a surprise."
A smile grew on Serenity's lips. "Hm! I guess I have a way with the male gender." She spoke slyly, making sure to glance at the prince.
The stables remained painfully silent for a few moments, before the Prince cleared his throat and assigned horses to each of the girls. The servants came forth with the picnic baskets and attached them to the saddles. And off the went, into the rolling hills of lush green grass.
"So ladies, how do you like the view?" Kunzite asked, as they were trotting down the path.
"I enjoy it greatly." Venus replied smiling. "Although I'm sure Jupiter would admire it more than I."
Serenity giggled as she trotted along.
Fifteen minutes went by, and they were still in the middle of nowhere. Serenity began whining. "Why in heaven's name are we going so slow?"
Endymion looked at her with mild surprise dawning his features. "I had no idea you could go faster."
Serenity grinned with a glint in her eye. She trotted a bit faster to catch up to him, leaned over and whispered into his ear.
"You have no idea."
And with that, she galloped off. Mina, catching on to the game, quickly followed Serenity. The men were left behind, staring at the two feminine figures before them, with the wind playing in their long, silky hair. Kunzite looked over to his Prince, nodded in agreement, and cantered off to chase the young lasses.
The girls giggled wildly as they galloped off into unknown lands, with two men chasing after them. Endymion, determined to catch up to Serenity, urged his horse to go faster. He was gaining on Serenity, but she was too caught up in the moment to notice.
"Having fun?" the Prince hollered at Serenity.
"Absolutely!" she shouted back as she urged her horse even faster.
Ten minutes went by, and the foursome slowed down to a trotting pace. Eventually, they stopped at a nicely shaded area, with a giant tree looming above them.
"Well, this looks like a nice stop to stop don't you think?" Kunzite questioned the others. They nodded in silent agreement and began to dismount.
"Uh uh uh! Remember Princess, you and I have the entire day to spend together.........alone." The Prince reminded, a glint of mischief sparkled in his eye.
Serenity smiled, and got off her horse. She walked slowly towards the Prince, and leaned in to whisper.
"I never agreed to it."
"You are now."
And with the, the Prince threw Serenity unceremoniously over his horse, so that she was resting on her stomach.
"Let me down THIS INSTANT!" she bellowed, kicking this way and that.
Endymion simply laughed and rode off with Serenity hanging there, while Kunzite and Mina were left behind...........alone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serenity had given up struggling a while ago, and hung limply on the horse's back. They came to a stop after a short ride, and Endymion helped Serenity off. She looked serene for a moment, gazing at her surroundings, before she tackled the Prince by the waist and threw him to the ground. Endymion was taken by surprise, but quickly regained his composure. He, being the stronger one, had pinned Serenity to the ground. But she wasn't going down without a fight. She mustered all the strength she could gather, and threw his body off of hers. She pounced on him, and began rolling. They struggled against each other until Endymion took the upper hand, and pinned her possessively. By this time, they were both quite out of breath, and breathing hard.
"Give up?" the Prince asked smugly.
"You've won the fight, but I'll win the war."
"We'll see about that."
He released her, and got up. He went to his horse to unpack the food and lay out the blanket.
"We-We're eating here?"
Endymion looked at her curiously. "Of course. I told you we'd be spending the day together."
An evil plot formed in Serenity's mind. She got up, and walked sensuously towards the Prince. His eyes roamed her body shamelessly. She was a few mere centimetres away from his face, as she looked into his eyes. Her fingers fiddled with the cloth of his richly tailored shirt.
"But Endymion," she cooed softly. "I was looking forward to eating with Kunzite and Mina." Her fingers undid the first two buttons of his shirt, and played with the soft skin she had discovered.
{He has a body sculpted like a God!} Serenity thought to herself.
Suddenly, his hands reached out and took hold of her wrists. She looked up into his eyes with a puzzled expression. The Prince leaned in towards her lips and whispered against them.
"Try and seduce me Serenity, and you may be getting more than you asked for."
And again, he left her to set up lunch. Serenity was stunned. Never in her experience has her seduction ever failed to capture a man's heart. Could he be different than all the others?
She decided to help him set out the food, seeing as she was getting hungry. There was such a wide selection to choose from! She sat down, and he joined her.
"Well, bon appetit!" He said as he picked up a strawberry and devoured it.
Serenity gave into temptation and grabbed everything in sight.
It was a beautiful lunch, with the weather being perfect, and they were getting along. They made small talk during the meal, and even the occasional joke. Serenity's voice was music to his ears. Her tinkling laughter made him laugh. Feelings rushed through his body so fast he wasn't able to recognise half of them. But he did pick up one of them..........joy. A type of joy he hadn't felt for years, and this simple girl could bring it to him.
Serenity too, had a hard time deciphering her emotions. It wasn't often she felt this happy, yet she did now.
Lunch was satisfying, and they were quite full. But then, Endymion pulled out another basket, smaller than the other, and announced "Dessert!"
Serenity's eyes grew large at the selection placed before her.
Never had she seen so many pastries and such. Drooling, she grabbed at whatever was nearest.
Lunch was spectacular, as they both sat back to enjoy the scenery.
"So, was eating lunch with me so hard Serenity?"
Smugly, the Princess turned her head and lifted it high, with an air of arrogance. The Prince looked at her amused, and reached out to caress her face. She closed her eyes as she felt his hand upon her face. He held her by the neck, and pulled her closer to his face. Serenity's eyes grew large as she realised the proximity of their faces.
"What are you doing?" her voice barely above a whisper.
"Why, whatever is the matter Princess? Your face is all flushed."
His eyes shone with delight, as he watched her squirm uncomfortably. Suddenly, her eyes grew smokey, and she leaned in even more. Her fingers found his chest, and she rubbed sensually. It was his turn to feel all hot and bothered.
She brought her lips to his neck, and breathed hot air. Her lips gently grazed his sensitive skin, and she could hear the low rumbling in his throat. A smile formed at her lips, as she planted small, delicate kisses on his neck. The kisses grew more heated, as she began to suckle gently.
Our Prince, loosing his self-control, grabbed Serenity and kissed her hard on the lips. His hands roamed her upper body, as she returned the favour. Serenity's hand travelled downwards, into unexplored land, as the Prince hissed as she worked her way down.
Suddenly, she stopped. She removed her hand and looked him in the eye.
"Kisses and caresses won't get you anywhere with me Prince of Earth. You'll have to do better."
And with that, she stood and walked away, making sure to sway her hips this way and that.
The Prince, rather flustered, lay down and closed his eyes.
Never has he met a woman quite like this one. She was surely a prize worth winning.
