Chapter 8

Beryl's Gentleman's House

I sunk into the water and fully submerged my head under the water. I closed my blue eyes and tried to remember before papa died. Endymion had said the moon had interfered. I couldn't believe that. There had to have been a reason. We were superior beings to all the other planets. Or were we? The Earth revolves around the sun but sees both the sun and the moon and no other planets. Was the evil that papa died for still on Earth? Was it changing the way they thought of the moon and it's people? I had so many questions and didn't know what to think.

I brought my head up out of the water. The water had washed away the red hair and the green eyes back to my silver hair and grayish blue eyes. I just lay in the water remembering my home and my history. I had been so happy. Playing in the gardens and the young boy who gave me the rose.

I relived the dream I kept having once again. The only difference was that I was awake. The water had soothed my head and my heart just enough to let the dream through. I was again about to thank the boy and he disappeared. Something was blocking my memory. The rest should have come through by now.

My eyes opened and I stood up from the water. Once I had distanced my nose from the water my head cleared. Something was in the water that made my head hazy. A scent I was not aware of. I stood reaching for the towel to cover up as I felt like someone was here, watching waiting.

I peered around the corner to find Endymion starring. I didn't know how long he had been there for but that feeling he had been watching made my skin dry instantly.

"Ahm." He was still staring straight at me still holding the plates. "Well Princess that is not something I was hoping to witness. But seeing as where we are you would fit right in. Except the silver hair. But if I didn't know you were my brothers I would fuck you.…" He smirked and was staring even more now as I wrapped the towel tightly around me.

I quickly dressed behind the curtain and I had a feeling he was watching the outline. His arrogance and telling it as it is was coming though again. I blushed just thinking about what he had said just moments ago. I quietly grumbled at myself. I was mad that I had let him see me but something in his eyes when I watched him just moments ago didn't match what he was saying. I came out in the change of clothes I had in my satchel. I quietly sat on the edge of the bed as Endymion handed me a plate of bread and some cheeses.

"It is not the best meal for this evening but it will do. I did not want to draw too much attention to myself for your sake."

"Thank you I guess." I paused. "How much did you see?" It was like I had a permanent rosy blush on my cheeks since he had seen me.

"Oh I saw everything. It is nothing I haven't seen before Princess." He had not taken his eyes off me since I had sat down. "Considering where we are Princess I would have fucked you. But you are my brothers. Now eat it is late." My eyes flew open at his comment. Such a mouth for a Prince. True I had not seen even just a little of what he had in his life but still.

"I didn't realize I was in the bath for that long. I was not planning for you to see me." I seemed to be flushed and very hot but I tried not to show it.

"Well I had a chat with Beryl. I needed to know what has been going on in the area." He looked down at his plate and then up and starred at me. "She asked about you." It was like his mood had flipped instantly.

I looked at him. His eyes were soft he was searching for something to say. "I'm sorry that I was awful to you when we first met and a few minutes ago. You seemed very umm Princess like. It still comes out once and a while."

"I am a Princess. I was just sent here so I am sure I did not act like I should either. How would you be if you were taken away from your home?" I said it a little harshly but eased up at the end. "I was promised to someone I don't think I have ever seen before. I wanted to marry someone who I had a chance to know, to be with and who I had fallen in love with."

"Well I can tell you my brother is the opposite of me. He would have taken you right then and there. No stopping to ask questions."

I pushed the plate away at the thought, stood up and attempted to fix my hair. His mood had flipped again. He was standing in front of me when I turned back around and I lost my footing again because he was too close. He grabbed me by the waist before I fell back and eased me back to the ground. He was still face to face with me. I could feel the heat radiating off him. He was different. This moment was different than the others when he was this close.

"You are easily moved aren't you?" He asked not moving. He was watching my eyes. He was trying to feel out what was happening. I didn't move from him or fight him. I like him, was watching. My anger was gone. He pulled me closer. "I know you are my brother's but I am drawn to you." He pushed a stray strand of hair out of my face from across my eyes. "You are his.."

He was telling me I was his brother's but his actions didn't match his words. He pulled me in and kissed me. Heat washed over me from all places. The blood rushed to my lips. My head clouded over. I sunk into him but I knew I shouldn't. I tried to back away but I was just as drawn to him in this moment as he was to me. My lips were swelling and he had his hand on the back of my head and one on my waist still. When he pulled away I looked up at him and touched my lips. He touched my fingers over my lips and then he touched his own.

"You are my brother's. I must not do that again." He was scolding himself. Like a parent scolding a child for taking something they shouldn't have. "I am sorry I shouldn't have."

He went to release my waist yet he lingered there. I reached out and touched his face. The lines that looked so hard softened under my touch. I found my self drawn into his eyes. His dark eyes became lighter somehow. He was fighting himself and his feelings. I didn't know his brother. But I was getting to know him. I ran my fingers over his lips and he didn't back away. I saw his features change again as I kissed him back.

"Serenity we shouldn't." He whispered to me. He didn't call me Princess. He always called me Princess.

"I don't know your brother. I am here in this moment. He is not. You are here in this moment. He is not." I whispered back ever so softly to him.

"We shouldn't…." He was torn. His eyes where telling me he was fighting inside.

"You keep saying that. But you don't want to believe it. I can see it in your eyes." I said to him watching his eyes.

"I have to give you to him. I won't be able to do it now." He kissed me again and even the moments when we first met to now seemed so long ago. I again melted into him as he wrapped his arm tighter around my waist. He pulled back from the kiss and looked at my eyes. "You're glowing. You're happy. You're different."

"I think I am just as drawn to you as you are to me. I don't know what it is. I have never felt like this before. I've never been kissed before. I have never had someone with me other than my court beside one time. That one time I was on my own and they were kind enough to give me a rose. They disappeared before I could thank him."

His facial features changed again. "As a young boy I remember playing in a garden." He paused. "A girl was watching my brother and I playing. I got a way from him and found a perfect rose. I picked it and gave it to the girl in the white dress." He was talking as if he was in a trance. Like he was living it right now. "She was about to talk to me when Father had called for me." He paused and looked at me. "She was you, wasn't she?"

I nodded. "You disappeared before I could thank you. I was so young and I couldn't follow you. I wasn't supposed to be at the party so I stayed in the gardens to watch. When I arrived on this planet I started to remember. It has been in my dreams since I arrived. It was one of the last days my papa was alive. He died here on Earth sealing the evil away that infiltrated this planet."

"I had dreamed of you for so long and when I couldn't figure out who you were I was reckless, searching, getting into trouble just so I could see you in my dreams."

He let go of my waist and took my hand. "I can't give you to him knowing this."

I sat on the bed. The moonlight shining through the open window hit my silver hair. I took a strand and twirled it around my finger. The golden crystal around my neck and the silver crystal on my wrist glittered. I couldn't hide them at this moment. I wasn't trying to. The moon light felt good. I loved my home and wanted to be there again but knowing now what I do that the little boy that handed me the rose was standing before me. I reached up and touched my lips. It felt right. I looked at Endymion who was still watching me.

He sat down on the bed beside me and turned to me taking strands of my hair in his hands and just letting it run over his hands. His jet black hair so dark compared to mine. With the moonlight and the crystal it changed my clothes to the dress he saw me in all those years ago. Silvery white with golden strands. Pearls over the shoulders draped just enough to make a sleeve. I closed my eyes and turned to him.

"Is this is what you remember? This is what I remember." I had a soft smile while my eyes searched out what he was feeling. I didn't have to wait long for an answer.

He took my face in his hands and didn't hesitate to kiss me again. I moved closer to him and he drew me into him. I was not afraid of what would come this time. I was not afraid of him at all. I was letting him dictate what happened next. I could tell he was still very torn in his feelings of loyalty to his father and being loyal to himself.

"Serenity…." He said between kisses.

"Endymion."

"This can't happen here." He kissed me again pulling me deeper to him than ever before. "It can not happen here. I will not take you here."

He laid me back on the bed and hovered over me kissing me. Each kiss deeper than the last. Each more lustful than the last. It was as if this moment was suspended in time and space. The arrogant man I had known before was gone and a love had grown between us in such a small amount of time now that we knew who the other was.

His resolve was waning. With each kiss he wanted more. The crystal sensing that shielded us from time. I was still young but I felt his emotion, his want and his need was what I wanted at this moment with him. How my thoughts had changed in just moments. The arrogance was gone. The moody smirks were gone. He only had eyes for me and he was showing it.

I nodded at him and kissed him as he removed his clothing. I ran my hands over his chest as he pulled my now naked body to his. I followed his movement as he entered me. I arched into him as he moved with in me. The feelings I had were of joy and happiness. Was this what true pure love is supposed to feel like? I was lost in the moment and cried out with him as the most intense feeling of joy, happiness and energy was released. We both floated back down to the bed as he covered us both with the sheet.

"Serenity, Princess." He kissed me as I closed my eyes. I listened to his rapidly beating heart slow before closing my eyes and falling to a peaceful sleep.

For the first night since we arrived on Earth I didn't dream of the boy with the rose because the boy with the rose was laying beside me. I instead relived the moment joy I had felt just hours ago. I awoke with a smile as I felt Endymion kiss the top of my head.
