Serena smiled as he hugged her tighter at her words. The world seemed right for just that one moment. He pushed her farther up his stomach as their lips met in a kiss that took both of their breaths away. Serena held his cheek and his neck as his hands found her lower back. She gasped as he forced her mouth open with his, to let his tongue ravage hers. She lifted her leg so her knee met his hip. She moaned as his hand gazed over it, the other one went down to cup her bottom. She knew they shouldn't even be kissing since they were both of noble blood. The noble women pride in their virginity as the men didn't but were known to never show times of passion. But of course all of this knowledge went out the window as Serena grinded her hips to his groin. This making him groan and flip her over so he was on top. She moaned as his hand came up to cup one of her breasts. A knock sounded from the door as they fell off the bed together. Serena giggled as she saw his annoyed face. He shushed her as he got up and grabbed her arm telling her to get behind the door which she did. He then quickly opened the door. Serena held her breath as she listened.
"So you finally decided to use one of the whores before you marry?" Said a voice she knew well. It was the King. She blushed at the thought of the king seeing their earlier events.
"Um yes father, I have. What is your business?" Darien asked trying to close the door all the same.
"I wanted to let you know that your meeting to the public about your new engagement is going to be in ten minutes instead of a hour. The queen is telling Serena as we speak-" Serena held her breath as the King stopped as another came into the conversation.
" Darien, Serena is not in her room. Do you know where she is?" Said the voice Serena called mother. Darien coughed at this and shook his head as Serena started to panic and fan herself.
"Actually she told me that she was going to see our maze garden. But you don't have to get her. I'll be more than happy to go fetch her. She is after all my soon-to-be-bride." Serena squeezed the hand that held the door open, at his words.
"Oh Charles (which is the kings actual name, sorry for never stating this), we should let him. After all Serena tells me that she fell in love with him the moment they met at our hidden cottage." Serena blushed as Darien smirked at her words. Serena let out the breath she was holding as Darien slowly closed the door on the voices that seem excited more by the minute. Serena leaned on the door as Darien covered her. Their heads rested on each others.
"The first moment, huh?" He asked smiling before he kissed her again, full of passion. She jumped on him wrapping her legs around his stomach as he pushed her against the door. She moaned as his hands cupped her bottom once more. But just like before a knock came from behind Serena, which made them both snapped back to life as she jumped down and he scrambled to fix his ruffled hair. He opened the door and was met with Serena's mother looking at him with a wicked smile.
"I wanted to tell you, to hurry up and get done with what ever your doing with my daughter, before it gets out of hand. And when you do give her this and tell her to cover herself up as she gets back to her chamber. Now make it quick, I can only lie to your father for so long." She stated with a knowing smiled. Darien took the ripped cloth and thanked her.
"Thank you mother, I love you!" yelled Serena from the other side of the door.
"You better" Serenity stated as she left. Darien chuckled and closed the door. He handed her the cloth and she threw it on the ground looking at him with a evil smirk.
"We got ten minutes. Actually, we have less than that because we also have to get ready." She said as she walked to him and pushed him to the wall right before he kissed her again. Soon they were back on the bed. With Serena's legs around his middle and his hands roaming over her. She broke the kiss as he started to fumble with her buttons on the back of her top. He sensed her nervousness.
"If you don't want this-" He started but she kissed him lightly before pulling away again.
"Don't ever think that. I do, but I also think that if we wait till our honeymoon, it would mean more. Not, that it doesn't now, but-" This time he cut her off with a kiss.
"I understand perfectly, I will condemn myself to being a virgin for the rest of my life just to have you as my wife." H told her seriously.
"Aw! Why do you have to be so great about things like this! Now I want you more than before!" She whined. He chuckled at her words and kissed her one more time before getting up and helping her up as well. He went to his drawer and got out his clothing as Serena sat on the bed waiting for him to finish. He was shortly after and helped her cover up as he walked her to her chambers. Once there Serena set out to find a gown. As she fumbled with the clothes in the draws Darien lay on her bed and watched.
"So is it true?" He asked.
"Is what true?" She asked as she tossed gowns over her shoulder.
"Did you really fall in love with me the moment you first saw me?" He asked. She stopped what she was doing as she turned to him and blushed. He didn't let her answer though.
"Cause I did" He told her. She smiled and walked to him and kissed him lightly.
"Did you really know the tune I sang?" She asked as she went back to looking for a dress. She picked up a green dress and held it up to her. She looked at him waiting for a answer.
"I don't like you in green, and yes I did. It's a tune that my mother sang to me before she died. All Queens know it, I should have recognized your noble blood then but I was to busy with your beauty" She blushed at this and held up a red dress.
"No I hate red" He told her. She nodded and went back to her closet now.
"When did you find out you loved me?" She asked as she held out a white gown.
"I like that one, I found out when you got offended at the thought of me coming to your cottage to get strawberries that was when you became number one." He told her as she went behind the curtain and started to undress. She stopped at his words, remembering one of their first conversations at the lake.
"That was why you couldn't tell me?" She asked.
"Yes, you were my favorite thing." He replied but it made her jump as she realized her was very close. She looked behind her and saw him leaning on the curtain. She quickly pulled her gown up to cover her bare top. He chuckled.
"You do realize that we're going to be marred in two days." He told her. She blushed.
"Yes I do but you can look at me all you want afterwards!" She snapped as she pushed him away as she heard him chuckle some more. She went back to dressing.
"So when did you first find out?" He asked from the opposite side of the curtain.
"When you came back the second day" She told him as she finished and walked out. She giggled as Darien wrapped one hand around her and started to kiss her neck.
"I really do love this dress." He told her as his hands that were placed on her stomach, roamed downward. She took a hold of them before they reached any where.
"Well then you can marry the dress" She told him as she pushed out of his embrace.
"Maybe I will!" He pouted. She stuck her tongue out at him as she went to the door. She went to open it when it was shut from behind her. She sighed and turned to her lover.
"One kiss before we go out in front of the whole kingdom and declare our undying love to each other and be condemned to be mobbed. You by the fan club I have and I, from the guys that will start to like you" He told her, making it seem unbearable. She chuckled.
"So you think any of the guys will be handsome?" She asked him with a evil smirk. He stopped and glared back playfully.
"I'll make sure they aren't" He said before kissing her hard, as if he was warding off any of them now. She still kissed back how ever.
"You take the fun out of everything!" She whined playfully before kissing him once more.
"Trust me, after we wed I'll show you something fun. I promise you" He said before kissing her again as they started to forget leaving. He held her hips as she giggled at his comment.
"Sure of your self aren't we?" She asked.
"You know it" He said as he nibbled on her ear which tickled her, making her flinch at his touch.
"That tickles Darien." She told him.
"Oh really how about this" He asked as he found her thigh and lifted it up as his fingers gazed up to her butt. She let her head rest back as she felt a moan come up. He smiled at her reaction and pulled her dress up so his hand met her silky skin. Then he began to massage it slowly going up as she moaned and pulled his lips back to hers. For the third time that day a knock interrupted them. Darien pulled away and rested his head on hers.
"I'm going to kill somebody at the end of the day, I swear." He whispered. She giggled and pulled him away as her mothers voice came up.
"I thought you'd be done after you left Darien's room. Just please tell me my daughter is still a complete virgin." She said and Serena blushed as she opened the door. She glared at her mother as Darien came up behind her.
"Yes mother, I am still a virgin." She stated.
"Sadly" Darien said with a smirk. Which gave him a elbow to the stomach from Serena. Serena's mother just smiled and shook her head in disbelief.
"It's true, you two are perfect for each other" She stated as she led them to the balcony. Darien squeezed Serena's hand as she said this Serena smiled up at him.
"The public is waiting. I told the king that you two decided to get something to eat before you spoke. So play along with it" She told them as they approached the king in front of a large black curtain. He seemed to beam at the couple.
"You too seem so perfect for each other!" He cried as he hugged Serena and Darien. Darien groaned at this as Serena giggled more. Darien then led her to the curtain as it lifted up and showed a huge crowd below. Serena felt the color drain from her face at the thousands of people yelling for her. Darien plastered a big fake grin as he waved with his free hand. Serena barely put up her fingers. Darien saw her freight and chuckled. Which, he did a lot with her. He leaned down and nibbled on her ear. But from a distant it looked like her was whispering something. Serena flinched and laughed at his tickling. She then felt better as she realized that he was next to her. That he will always be next to her, through everything. This made her smile big as she waved to the public. The crowds' cries lowered as they waited for a speech. Darien stepped closer to the railing and began to bellow out to them.
"It is true! I have found a wife! This time for sure!" At this he laughed with the crowd. "I saw her a month from today and fell in love with her since the first meeting. I am honored to be blessed with such a woman to call my own and so should you to be blessed to have a woman you will one day call queen." He yelled to the crowd and they wet crazy with screams as Serena smiled and waved with her free hand and Darien squeezed her other hand. Serena looked at him and he nodded to the crowd. So she cleared her throat and began.
"I am honored to be blessed with a man as Darien." At this she could hear cries from teenage girls which made her smirk. "I am also blessed to have a kingdom as beautiful and enchanting as this one. I will also try my best to make you proud to call me queen." She said as she stepped back from the railing. Darien let go of her hand as he wrapped her hand around her waist as he leaned into her ear, this time he actually did whisper.
"You did wonderful, I am so proud." he whispered. She blushed as she followed him into the curtain. Once on the other side they were met with their parents.
"You did such wonderful jobs! We are so proud!" They praised as they hugged the two. Then Serena's mom winked as she engaged into a conversation with the King. Once Darien and Serena were out of sight in another hall way Darien picked her up and spun her around in excitement. She screamed in delight as he let her down into a kiss. She was settled on the ground breathing heavily.
"I love you so much Serena, you did so good out there" He told her as they walked to her room.
"I love you too," She whispered as she followed him into the room. Once inside she threw herself on the bed to rest. He lay down beside her as he rubbed her back gently.
" Darien?" She asked as she turned over so she was resting her head on his stomach.
"Hum?" He mumbled as he started to drift off.
"Did you ever love before me?" She asked.
"Yes" He told her. She looked up to him begging him to continue. "My mother." He stated. She frowned and kissed him lightly.
"The only thing I have from my father is a sword." She told him as she sighed.
"Sometimes it's better if you don't remember." He told her. She nodded.
"How did your mother die?" She asked.
"She fell ill and two months later it took her" He told her.
"How sad" She stated. He kissed her head as he stopped rubbing her back.
"If I ever die, I want you to move on." He told her. She looked up at him in shock.
"How can you say such a thing? I'd die if you died!" She told him. She sat up and looked away as she fumed.
"Promise me Serena" He asked as he sat up also. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I promise, but I will not love him." She told him with a crocked smiled. He smiled and kissed her lightly.
"I know you wouldn't." He told her as he wrapped his arms around her in a embrace.
"Promise me something." She told him. He nodded. "Never leave me, even if I tell you to leave, just don't leave me. I promise you I never will want you to leave." She told him. He smiled and kissed her lightly.
"I promise with all my heart." He said as she smiled warmly. "So how does a walk sound? I can show you the kingdom inside and out." He asked. She smiled and nodded yes.
