Chapter 9

Serena awoke early the next morning; she was feeling a bit queasy. Serena looked over at Darien, he looked so gorgeous lying there asleep. She felt happy inside, she had lost her virginity to the one she loved the most and she was able to show him how much she loved him.

She pulled the covers off slowly, placing her feet quietly on the floor, as not to wake him and walked over to his wardrobe. She took hold of one of his large shirts and wrapped it around herself. She felt strangely cold, she felt dizzy and she felt...lazy. Not much different to what she usually felt in the mornings.

She looked over at the bedside table and noticed that there was a new broach and communicator there, shining in the morning sun. She took hold of it and put it with her clothes from last night. After that she walked out onto his balcony to look at the town in all its glory.

The sun was just rising above the apartments and it looked gorgeous in the mornings. People were seen down below in their cars, making their daily trip to work, not knowing that something amazing had happened, something special.

Darien's neighbour was standing on his balcony and turned to look at Serena, he was very handsome and he definitely was curious about the girl Chiba had in his apartment.

"Konnichiwa." He said smiling at Serena.

"Konnichiwa, do you usually wake up this early?" Serena asked him turning to look at him better.

"Yeah, I love to watch the sun rising above the apartments. What about you?" he asked her, being totally silent and waiting for her reply.

"No not usually, I usually sleep in as long as possible, but this morning I haven't been feeling very well." She replied looking down at Darien's shirt and then at the man.

"Watashi wa Susano desu, after the god of storms." Susano bowed to Serena and she smiled.

"Watashi wa Usagi desu, meaning bunny. But most people call me Serena. I don't usually use Usagi any more." She bowed lower than he, as it was the custom in Japan. But while doing so, she had noticed a beautiful plant on his balcony and stared at it.

"Chaenomeles." He said to her, she looked up and frowned.

"Cha... what?" She asked, looking back at the plant that seemed to be climbing up the wall.

"Cha en om eles. It is a spring flowering shrub, it er... belongs to the rose family, I think." He looked back at his apartment and walked inside, leaving Serena to stare at the gorgeous plant.

He came back out again and looked at Serena, he had a kind of cardboard box in his hand.

"Yes, Quince is its common name. It says on the pack, ' These produce clusters of pink, white, or red bowl-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer, good for light or shaded places.' It tells me it is a wall shrub so I put it up my wall, and it seemed to have gone very well." He told her, reading from the box and then placing it inside on a table.

"I just bought it because it looked nice." He said simply shrugging and giving her a nice warm smile.

"Ah Susano, what a nice pleasure it is to see you, I see that you have met Serena." Serena turned round and saw Darien standing behind her with just his shorts on.

"Yes Mamoru, I was just explaining to her about the properties of my plant." He turned to look at Serena and pointed to Darien.

"Darien likes the plant for its medical uses, it helps digestive complaints and rheumatic conditions." He stated, dropping his pointed finger and smiling sarcastically at Darien.

Darien looked at him and pulled a face, which made Serena giggle and then cover her mouth as Susano frowned at her.

"Anyway nice talking to you Susano, but I have run Serena a bath. Sayonara." Darien took hold of Serena's hand and began to pull her in the apartment.

"Sayonara Susano."

"Sayonara Serena."

In Darien's apartment he pulled Serena towards his chest and held her there firmly. She giggled at the motion and looked up into his eyes. After that she placed her head on his chest and sighed heavily.

"I think you look better than me in that." Darien said, making Serena give a little laugh. "Come on I have ran you a bath, you will need it." He said, but Serena wasn't paying much attention to his words, she had drifted back off to sleep again in his arms.

Darien looked down at her and smiled, picking her up swiftly and moving her towards the bathroom. She needed to be cleaned, all of the blood from her vagina, the blood that came from the barrier had flown all the way down her legs and she needed to be cleaned.

Swiftly and gently he cleaned her up, she was a very heavy sleeper and often tossed and turned in her sleep, making it harder for Darien to do his task.

Finally after clearing her of all the blood and wrapping her in a towel, he placed her back on his bed and went to take a shower himself.

Serena woke to the feel of water against her body, she saw that Darien sat on the bed next to her and he seemed to have just come out of the shower. She moved quickly and jumped right on top of him causing him to tumble off the bed and onto the floor.

Darien, shocked by this encounter, lay sprawled on the floor, naked, underneath her. Serena, still seeming to have the blue towel wrapped around her waist, smiled at the position that they seemed to have landed in.

"So Darien, you feel up for a little game?" She asked him huskily, making him shiver at the amount of sexiness in her voice.

"Sure princess, but first do you mind letting me get dry and putting some shorts on?" He asked her, looking at her with the towel on and him without.

"Oh don't worry about that, here you can have my towel." She said, pulling it away from around her slim body, revealing her breasts in their full glory.

Darien gulped; looking at Serena naked had seemed to paralyze him. Serena stood up from her position on top of him, since she had noticed that he became a bit 'excited'.

Darien stood up too and placed the towel around his waist and looked back at Serena standing, staring at him with her hands on her hips. She lipped her lips seductively and then looked him up and down.

"The game is called self control. This game measures how much self-control each one of us has. You see if you can control yourself longer than me, then you win, but if I can keep myself under control better than you, then I win. Okay?" She explained the rules and things to Darien, basically there were no rules and the other contestant could do whatever they wanted to entice the other.

Darien decided that to keep himself occupied he would make some breakfast; there could be nothing sexy about that. Boy, could he be more wrong?

Darien made a full English breakfast and called for Serena to come and get hers.

But when Darien caught sight of Serena, he wished he hadn't.

All Serena was wearing was a see through frilly bra and see through frilly thongs. To Darien this was cheating and it was harder than he thought.

He yearned to touch her slender body; he wanted to feel the warmth of her skin against his. He wanted to hold her in his arms and know that he could make her the happiest woman alive.

In the past Darien had been able to conceal and hold back his manly urges for the women he had been with, but now it was like someone had written it all over his body. I LOVE SERENA AND I CANT RESIST HER, I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO HER NOW AND ALWAYS.

Serena walked up to Darien and pressed her body against his, making him shiver. She deliberately wanted the tomato sauce, so she had to bend down and take it out of the cupboard. This made Darien gasp.

Then she wanted the cheese from the fridge, which she had to reach right at the back, making her stretch and causing Darien to breath rather heavily.

He couldn't take it, she was tormenting him, knowing full well what all these movements and gestures would do to him, he had no idea of getting back at her. But to say the truth all he wanted to do at the moment was to watch her flounce around the room seducing him.

Where has she learnt all this? She was so innocent and babyish, now she is a grown woman seducing her future king. Poor Darien, this was all he could think before Serena decided that she was going to sit down on her chair and play with the cooked sausage, pushing it and pulling it slowly in and out of her mouth, making moaning sounds as though she was enjoying it as much as sex.

Darien's forehead was sweating tremendously, Serena could see out the corner of her eye. She loved all of Darien's faces when he watched her. He was like any other man, paralyzed in the presence of a dominating woman. She decided that she was finally going to bite into the sausage and then took note of Darien's sudden wince like he had felt some sort of pain.

"I think that I will go and get dressed." Serena said to him, standing and walking up to him. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and began to depart for the bedroom.

"Happy birthday Serena." Darien shouted to her, she put her hand up and carried on walking.
