Serena woke up in her apartment alone the next morning. Darien had retreated back to his place to shower and get ready for the day. She began to do the same. The hot shower water ran over her silk soft skin and comforted her. She was feeling a lot better but still wasn't completely well yet. Thank God that it was Friday. Serena felt good inside to know that Darien didn't take advantage of her in her state. He held her through. All night. She slipped out of the shower and began to towel off to dress. She dressed herself in a hurry in order to make it to class early. Seeing Darien everyday was a good thing now even though she was still uncomfortable not calling her teacher by his formal name. She grabbed her lunch off of the small kitchen counter and headed out the door. She happened to bump into a tall man wearing a long black winter coat. Darien. He had such a broad muscular chest and he smelled wonderful. Before she could fall backwards he extended an arm and broke her fall.
"Oh...I'm sorry...I was just so clumsy I-"
"Serena," he chuckled, "It's quite alright I was just headed back to pick up my briefcase. I seemed to have forgotten it." She smiled that wonderful smile. He loved the way she was so sweet and well meaning. "Would you like to walk with me?" "Sure!" she replied happily. He retrieved his briefcase and they were off to the school. He kept to the outside of the sidewalk as to protect the lady he was walking with. She looked up to him in his tall stature. He must have been 6'2" or so. She figured it out on the way there that he was more than just her teacher. (well obviously) He was a companion, a friend, and advisor. He was so mature and he loved her which was the most important to her. And she loved him.
They finally reached the school grounds and said their goodbyes until the last period of the day.
During lunch, Serena noticed an odd sight. Why was Mr. Shields hitching arms with this woman who was clearly about ten years older that he was? And...why did he kiss her cheek when they said goodbye? She was quite pretty...long black hair, slender... Oh no. He couldn't be...
The last period of the day arrived. Serena sat in her seat stone cold. "Good to see you in class Ms. Tsukino. Welcome back." he said in a warm tone. This made her sick. She couldn't stand to look at him anymore. Not until she got an explaination. "Well, actually MISTER Shields, I request a leave. I think I'm feeling sick at my stomach now." This statement was said with so much anger, he was curious. "Well, umm. I supposed that could be arranged...," he stated dumbfounded, "We'll see you on Monday, Ms. Tsukino...?"
"Whatever" she replied smartly as she walked out of that room and fast. Tears began to form in her eyes as she walked down the cold streets to her apartment. She tipped on the heater and laid on her bed as hit hummed over her soft sobs. How could this happen to her. A man that she was starting to love and even revealed to him that she did is playing her. Not to mention with an older woman...this enraged her. She beat her fists on the wall that separated her from Darien never wanting to hear him bustle about in there ever again.
Darien hurried home to see what could possibly be upsetting Serena. He reached his apartment and set down his belongings. He was about to entered to Serena's when he was stopped by faint sobbings that echoed as he looked through the glass doors. He slid one open and quietly entered. He saw Serena. She was in her shower soaking wet with water still running. Her small hands supported her body against the corner of the cubical. She was crying. It felt as though a knife jolted through his heart. He didn't want her to cry for whatever the reason.
Blindly she fumbled for the water knobs and opened her shower doors. She was caught by a large towel.
"What the HELL do you think your doing here?" She screamed as he wrapped her.
"Is this what you want? You want to see me naked and take me? You don't love me, you just want to USE ME! You LIED! I hate you! Go back to you're raven haired WHORE!" she screamed through tears.
"Serena stop this! You're going to have a relapse!"
"Get OUT!" She beat him in the chest until her strength wore out. He took it all in knowing she was mistaken. He wrapped his big muscular arms around her and held her.
"Serena. Raye is my cousin. She was just visiting me at the school while she was in town. I wasn't playing you at all. I never would...I love you..."
"Oh..my...God...I'm so ashamed." She slumped to the floor embarrassed as hell. He squatted on the bathroom floor and lifted her up.He whispered in her ear. "I understand, Serena. I would've thought the same thing. I want to make love to you...". In her nakedness, he held her up by the arms as her towel fell off of her soft slender body. He felt his loins begin to burn within him. Darien enveloped her naked body in his long coat and carried her to his place. He collapsed them both onto his richly kept bed with silk sheets and large pillows. Darien was begginning to feel hot. He discarded his coat and tie. Serena let herself be buried. She needed him so badly right now. He feasted on her neck and breasts. She wrapped her bare legs around him as he groaned.
"Ss...Serena...," he breathed, "I don't know if I can control myself much longer..."
"Then don't" she erotically replied. Serena wanted to know what sex was and what it felt like. She'd gone without it for all of her eighteen years.
He hungrily granted her request. Her wet juices were flowing onto his shirt. She ripped it off. He pulled off his pants until he was completely naked and throbbing for her. Darien pulled the silken sheets over them
"Serena...are you well enough?...don't let me hurt you..." He thoughtfully asked. "Darien, I'm ready for you...well or not" With that he kissed her like he had never tasted something so wonderful in his life. He winced back a moan as he felt her body writhe underneath him. His erection grew larger.
"Ss Sere..na.. Please...if you don't want me to do this...don't move around like that...once I'm to that point I can't go back..."
She denied his request and moved more.
"Darien...I heard that it hurts..."
"Are...you a virgin, Serena?"
She blushed.
"Y..yes.."
"Serena...the pain will soon be sufficed by desire...please let me pleasure you..."
"Pleasure me, Darien.."
He guided himself into her wet slick passage. She felt him shudder. "Oh God...you're so tight" he moaned. She gave a cry to his intrusion and he gripped her hips tight. "Please be gentle..." she cooed. He slid in and out slowly at first to ease the pain. He quickened his pace. Before he got any further, Serena pulled away. She got so caught up in her desires that she left all reason.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Oh...my GOD! You're my teacher I can't do this!"
He slid out of her. She grabbed one of the bed sheets to wrap it around her and walked across the room nervously.
"MR. SHIELDS! This could get you into so much trouble...this isn't right! I shouldn't be screwing my Trig. Teacher!"
Darien still in the bed replied, "Serena...don't you understand? I've been telling you all along. I love you. It doesn't matter to me that you're my student. I don't see you that way anymore. I'm looking past that."
"Darien...I'm sorry...it's my first time and I totally freaked out." she began to blush. "I'm so embarrassed..."
"Look, Sere, if you aren't comfortable, we won't do this ok?"
"I...am. Sorry, I just...freaked out.."
"It's ok, I understand. I freaked out my first time too."
She walked back and sat on the bed. The silk sheet was still around her body.
"Darien? How many...women have you been with...if you don't mind me asking..?"
"Serena. I'd rather you not know. I don't want you to know anything about my past relationships because I don't want them to affect our relationship. There's nothing horrible. It's just that I want you to be the only girl you picture with me. Not the others."
"Do I know any of them?"
"You might."
"Okay I understand."
"Serena. Please don't look at me as Mr. Shields anymore. I just got you started on calling me Darien, let's keep it at that, okay?"
"Alright, Darien"
She leaned down and rested her body onto his.
"Now..may we pick up where we left off, dear?"
She didn't reply but kissed him and that gave him a green light.
He immediately stiffened again and gently turned her on her back. He began to feast once again on her breasts and slid himself gently into her. He slid in and out very slowly. She dug her nails into his flesh and arched her back. Her skin glistened with the soft shade of the evening light peeking through the window. He'd never had anyone this beautiful and his actions showed.
"Mm Serena..." He enveloped her in his flesh. Skillfully, he massaged her thigh as his thrusts became more rapid. She rolled her eyes in pleasure as her breathing increased by the second.
"Oh Darien...harder! Oh please harder!" she screamed as he fulfilled her requests. His thrusts were animalistic as they tossed and turned in his expensive bed dressings.
"Serena say my name...Oh God..!" He moaned.
"DARIEN!" she screamed, almost at her peak.
His hot breath danced across her neck as her thighs clenched his waist. She felt him literally grow inside of her causing her moans to become louder.
"Darien! I don't know how much longer I can..AH!" She screamed at her release. She felt him shudder as he reached his own. Their breathing was still very heavy. The two bodies shimmered with sweat as they rested upon each other.
"Dd...Darien...Promise me something...please..," she panted, "Yes?" he replied.
"Promise me that I won't be anything but a lay to you...please..."
"Serena, you're much more than that. You're a wonderful person with a good heart. That attracts me to you first and foremost, I promise."
She grinned back at him.
There was nothing left to do but sleep that night. They slept in the utmost peace in the stillness of a winter night.
The morning came.
"Serena...wake up, sweetness..." said Darien, playfully poking her.
He hovered over the blonde angel as she wiggled.
"Five...more minutes...I'll be late for school today...sorry..so sleepy" she blabbered half awake.
"Serena, It's Saturday and it's eleven thirty. Here's some tea for you, dear."
"Oh..." She blushed, beginning to awaken. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in the worn in bed. Serena retrieved her tea and began to sip.
Darien, dressed in a suit walked over to her and place himself next to her on the bed.
"Dare, why are you dressed already?"
"I'm sorry, Serena, I have a lunch date with Andrew. We're going to Camille's."
"Oh.." she said in a soft tone.
"Don't worry love, I'll be back in a little while. Feel free to make yourself at home with whatever you need, alright?"
"Alright. Thank you so much, Darien."
He softly kissed her forehead.
"Anything for you."
He departed. As he walked reason came into his mind. 'Wow. I have a beautiful naked woman in my bed at this very moment.' Darien chuckled to himself. 'What a wonderful thing to come home to'.
"Hello...Dare...anybody home?" Andrew waved his hand mockingly in Darien's face. He finally snapped back.
"Oh, Andy I'm sorry. I was just thinking."
"About...Serena?"
"Yes..ever since the first night I was with her I can't get her outta my head."
The clinking of plates around them hid their conversation well. Darien didn't touch his food at all. The wine was quite appealing to him, though. "Ah I see. So you've slept with her.
"Tried anything kinky with her yet?" Darien just about spewed his drink.
"NO Andrew! I don't even know if she's like that!" Andrew chuckled.
"Ok ok, it's my job as your sex advisor to ask."
"Since when did I need a sex advisor Andrew?" They both erupted into laughter. "Darien, don't you think you should carry your relationship with her to the next step? I mean, it isn't exactly kosher to the eyes of the school board to be sleeping with a student."
"What do you mean, "take to the next step"? Do mean propose? Andrew...we've just stepped into a serious relationship. She's eighteen, she may not be ready. We'll just have to hide it the best we can until graduation. THEN we'll talk about marriage. I feel so bad that we have to hide our feelings from the world so that I don't get fired. She means so much more to me than my job but, I want to make her happy and to make her happy I gotta have a job."
"Darien, you're talking stupid. You KNOW good and well that you're set up for the rest of your God given life."
"Yes well, That doesn't provide a good work ethic which would provide a sense of humanness and non-uppety-ness, if you will."
"Point taken, my friend" Andrew hastened in retreat.
The lunch ended quickly. Darien Was anxious to get back to his jewel.
Meanwhile...A phone conversation with Lita...
'Hey Lita!"
"What's going on, Sere?"
"Oh my gosh, Li, I just had the most wonderful night...I've had sex!"
"Oh Serena! That's awesome...but..with Mr. Shields?"
"Darien, yes." she corrected.
"What all has he said to you as far as a relationship?"
"Well, he's so endearing and he's taken such good care of me...he said that he loves me and that I mean so much to him."
"That's wonderful!"
"Yeah but we have to hide it, Lita...I could get him in so much trouble."
"Sere, people can't help who they love. Love takes off masks that we fear to take off ourselves. Just love him Serena. If it's meant to be, you'll make it through all of this. Hey, it's only six months until Grad. Night, right?"
"Yeah I guess so...but six months seems like a long time."
"I know, but just be careful ok? Take care of you."
"You do the same, Li"
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye." they both said at the same time.
Serena, still naked, had been watching T.V and talking to Lita for a little over an hour until she decided to step into the shower. She felt lazy, so she stepped into Darien's rather large bathroom.
'Wow, how come mine is so small? Well, I guess he can afford it'
She looked around at his bathroom items.
'Razor, axe shower gel haha, umm shampoo, uh oh...K.Y. Jelly! HAH! I found the bad stuff!' she chuckled to herself as she began to run the shower water. 'I'm such a snoop!' she thought. She began to shower when she heard the door creak open.
"Serena? You Decent?"
"Umm no..." she said nervously even though she just had SEX with the guy last night.
"Good." he replied.
He stepped into the bathroom and threw his coat off. She saw him through the shower doors slip off his tie and unbutton his shirt. He then proceeded to slip off his pants, followed by his boxer briefs. His erection was obvious. She thought it a beautiful thing.
The shower doors open and she readily welcomed him in. He nibbled on her shoulders as the hot shower water began to run over them. Serena squealed in delight. He then grabbed a bath sponge and began to rub her back. Steam began to rise as they engaged in passionate kisses and wonderful massages. They ended the shower session with a few quick rubs and presses.
Serena slipped under the warm covers. It was just too cold to go out today so she felt comfort in his bed.
"Serena, how are you feeling today?" Darien asked wrapping a towel around himself.
"Very good. The medicine worked like a charm. Good ol' docs!" she giggled.
"Can you believe Christmas is in two weeks?" Darien asked out of no where.
"Oh my gosh that's right!"
"So what do you want for Christmas, Sere?"
"I want us to have to stop worrying about people seeing us. I don't want you to loose your job, but I hate being so secretive. It's not like I'm some slut for falling in love with my teacher."
"No you're not at all. And it's not like I'm some rapist for falling in love with one of my students."
"
"Then What the hell are we worried about?"
"The public eye and the way this would be perceived."
"Damn them. I love you Darien...I can't wait until I graduate and get out of this hell hole so that I can be with you."
"You ARE with me..."
"Thank God..."
He fell onto her and kissed her. "Serena, what say we go on a date tonight? Like, to a nice restaurant...how about Antonio's?"
"What if someone sees us together?"
"Screw them if they try anything. I love you."
"Darien. I don't have anything decent to wear. I mean...I just have street clothes and such."
"Here."
He handed her a credit card from his wallet in the pants he had worn earlier but had discarded in the bathroom.
"If you have any trouble using it, just have them call me at 918-2174 ok?"
"Oh Darien, I couldn't take your money..I just-"
"It's alright darling.. Take all the time you need to get ready, but I'll be at your place at 7 to pick you up. Take Lita with you. I'm sure she could help you" He chuckled and kissed her forehead.
She retreated to her living space and invited Lita out for shopping.
