Chapter Five: What A Way to Get Even!

The sky was a mixture of dark golden hues as the group of royals arrived on Earth. Princess Serenity couldn't help but gape at the enchanting sight before her. She couldn't help but take in all she had secretly longed to see for so long; the luscious green gardens, the multi-colored flowers, and the chirping birds that flew above. She suddenly felt a heavy weight fall upon her; causing her to lose balance and fall over.

'What the hell?!' she thought as she struggled against this odd, invisible, force that kept pushing her down.

"Watch it Princess!" exclaimed Endymion crossly, then reluctantly grabbed her arm to help her up.

He let his mother and father walk ahead, putting distance in between them. As soon as he was sure they were out of earshot, he pulled Serenity close enough so that he could whisper in her ear.

"Don't think I've forgotten about your little stunt," he murmured darkly, watching in satisfaction as she shuddered as his warm breath teased her neck, "Be on guard Princess, because when you least expect it, I will get even."

Serenity's eyes narrowed in defiance, "I'm not scared of you Prince, go ahead, get even; see if I care!"

With that, she turned and walked after the King and Queen. Endymion frowned as he ran after her.

"That's it? Aren't you the least bit scared about what I can do to you?" he asked incredulously.

Serenity cast him a sideways glance as she continued to walk.

"Should I be?" she asked, "What else can you possibly do to me? You've already gotten under my skin more than anyone else ever has; you've kissed me senseless more times than I can count in less than twenty-four hours, and I'm being forced to marry you! Honestly, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?!"

She saw his sapphire blue eyes darken as he smirked down at her in that oh so familiar way.

"Do you really want to find out Princess?" he asked slyly, "Believe me, Serenity, there are so many things I can do, things your little innocent mind wouldn't comprehend."

The Moon Princess could only glare at the Prince of Earth beside her.

"You're disgusting," she muttered, before quickening her pace and finally catching up to King Henry and Queen Lizette.

Endymion kept his distance watching as his future bride made small talk with his parents.

"Just you wait Princess," he murmured as they approached the castle, "When you least expect it, you'll fall, and when you do, it'll be my time to pounce."

O.O.O

This will be your bedroom Serenity," announce Queen Lizette, "That is until the wedding, after that you'll share a bedroom with Endymion."

Serenity felt her face flush as the older woman winked and gave her a smile.

"Don't worry though, your chambers will be in another wing of the palace, that way you'll have your privacy."

Serenity could feel her face growing hotter and hotter, 'Oh god!' she thought mortified, 'Talk about embarrassing! My future mother-in-law thinking that the jerk and I are actually going to get it on!'

"Thank you Your Highness," she managed to choke out.

Queen Lizette seemed oblivious of the Princess' flustered state as she opened the bedroom's door and led her in.

Once inside, Serenity eyed the room with wide eyes. The walls were that of a pearly white, with breathtaking paintings of Earth's beauty adorning them. Against the wall was a four poster bed similar to the one she had back home. This one however was a king size, covered by a white comforter threaded with silver. The curtains that hid the bed from view were also silver, made from a smooth silky material.

"Wow, Queen Lizette, this room is beautiful!" Serenity murmured. She then noticed a young woman with short auburn hair and brown eyes standing by the doors that led to adjoining balcony.

"Serenity, this is Naru, she will be your head maid, if you ever need anything, feel free to ask for her help," informed the Queen.

She gave the Moon Princess a reassuring smile.

"Well, I'll let you get settled, your wardrobe is filled with dozens of new dresses; Naru-chan here will help you, good night!"

As the queen left, Serenity faced Naru and smiled kindly.

"It's very nice to meet you Naru-chan," she greeted; watching as Naru bowed her head shyly.

"Don't worry," she reassured, "I'm not a picky princess; I'll only need you mostly for helping me with my hair, I'm pretty independent with everything else such as bathing and dressing."

The young maid smiled shyly as she nodded, gazing admirably at the Moon Princess' long silver mane.

"My, you have such beautiful hair," she commented softly, "But don't worry; I'll make sure to take good care of it when brushing it!"

"Why thank you Naru-chan!" replied Serenity kindly, then yawned deeply.

"Wow, I guess I didn't realize I was that tired!" she remarked sheepishly.

"Oh, in that case, I'll let you retire to bed," said Naru in a rush, "there's a closet by your bathroom that has all sorts of nightgowns, would you like me to go fetch you one?"

"No, that won't be necessary Naru-chan, I'll manage on my own; you are dismissed for the tonight," answered Serenity as she stifled yet another yawn

"Well then Princess, I'll see you in the morning then, pleasant dreams!" announced Naru, then she too, slipped out of the room.

Once alone, Serenity found the closet Naru had mentioned and blindly picked a random nightgown out; which happened to be a low cut satin one; with its length reaching about mid-thigh and was decorated at the hem with a short lacy frill.

Pulling her gown on, she then walked over to the vanity and pulled the blue sapphire heart barrettes out of her hair, letting her odangos come undone and her long hair flow loosely around her. Finally, she climbed into her large bed and just like that, she was lost in deep slumber.

O.O.O

Endymion couldn't sleep.

Try as he might, every time he closed his eyes, he would see Serenity in her drenched dress, all plastered over her every curve. And if he kept his eyes closed for too long, he would see himself beside her, his hands running over every inch of her body hungrily, then, he would reach over and slowly begin to unzip her dress, watching as it slowly began to fall…

"Argh!" he groaned, throwing the covers off of his burning body and sat up in bed. Without thinking twice, he grabbed his robe. He needed to take a walk NOW, before he went mad just thinking about her.

Sighing restlessly, he walked out of his bedroom; hopefully by the time he returned, all thoughts and images of the Moon Princess would be long gone.

O.O.O

It was still pitch black when Serenity's eyes opened for the millionth time. Somehow, she had only managed to sleep for a while before all sleep left her. Now all she could do was lay there restlessly.

Finally giving up, she grabbed the sheer, almost transparent robe that had been hanging with her nightgown and threw it on. Maybe a sort walk will help her regain her sleep, she decided as she slipped out of her bed chamber.

As she wandered aimlessly through the candlelit hallways, she couldn't help but let her thoughts drift to Endymion and his warning from that afternoon.

"There are so many things I can do to you Serenity, things your little innocent mind wouldn't comprehend."

His ominous words kept replaying in her head over and over.

'Exactly what things could he have been referring to?' she wondered, 'Was he capable of actually hurting her? Or would he kiss her again?'

She found herself recalling the feel of his lips o hers, his hands at the small of her back, his tongue running erotically over hers…

"No, no, no Serenity!" she scolded herself, "Whatever you do, you must not fall!"

She was so lost in her thoughts, that as she rounded a corner, she smashed into a hard muscular body, sending her flying backwards.

"Oof!" she groaned, having felt wind being knocked out of her.

She then heard her groaned being echoed by a male voice and abruptly raised her head. In the soft glow from the candles hanging from the walls, she was able to make out Endymion sprawled out in front of her.

Heaving another groan, she closed her eyes and let her head hit the marble below with a soft thunk.

'Of all the people I could've bumped into, why did it have to be HIM?!' she thought, 'then again, what were the odds of bumping into ANYONE at these hours of the night?'

As she lay there cursing her luck, Endymion rose to a sitting position, rubbing his slightly throbbing head. Once his vision cleared, he was met with the sight of Serenity's long creamy lags in front of him. And to his dismay, or delight, depending on how he looked at the situation, her legs lay sprawled wide apart, completely exposing her lacy white underwear.

Raising her head again, Serenity caught Endymion staring intently at her underwear! Squealing in mortification, she scrambled to a sitting position and abruptly stood up, a blush already staining her cheeks.

Following her movements, Endymion stood up as well, and still, his dark cobalt eyes could not leave her. He took in the short white nightgown that she wore, drowning in the fact that it barely reached her thighs. He also noted that her long silver hair was loose and flowing around, giving her the appearance of some sort of fairy.

'A seducing fairy,' he thought; his eyes now almost as black as the night sky outside.

Crossing his arms, he found his voice and locked his gaze with hers.

"Tell me Princess, exactly what were you doing wandering the halls at this time at night?" he quickly glanced at her nightgown once more, "And in such revealing attire I might add?"

Determined not to be the victim, Serenity crossed her own arms and held her chin defiantly.

"Can't a girl take a walk to regain her sleep?" she replied haughtily. She then looked him over and smirked.

'Besides Prince," she added smugly, "You're one to talk, you're parading around wearing only pajama pants and a robe, what, is wearing a shirt a crime to your body or something?"

Endymion couldn't stand seeing the smug smirk on her lips or the twinkle in her eyes. Without thinking, he grabbed her by the waist and twirled her around, pushing her back flatly against the wall. This time, the smile and twinkle were plastered over his face, though the twinkle in his eyes was more of that of a wolf about to pounce on a poor defenseless sheep.

"What are you doing?!" Serenity demanded, still trying to register the fact that she was now pinned to the wall by the Earth Prince.

Smiling seductively, Endymion began to press himself intimately against her; crushing his chest to hers, causing another squeak to escape Serenity's lips.

"I warned you to be on guard Princes,' he murmured softly, letting his knuckles skim over her cheek, "And you chose to ignore it, so now I believe it's time for me to get even!"

And what a way to get even it was! Without warning, his lips swooped down over hers, hot and demanding.

'NO!' thought Serenity, fighting to keep her lips firmly closed and motionless, 'I will not fall into his stupid little trap!'

Oh but goodness his lips worked magic over hers, they just felt so damn good!

"C'mon Serenity," Endymion whispered huskily, his mouth leaving her unmoving lips to trail up the side of her face and come to her ear, "Give in, you know you want to," he added, teasingly flicking his tongue into her ear.

He felt his insides begin to burn as he heard a very LUSTY moan escape Serenity's lips.

In a matter of seconds, her arms were around his neck, pulling his mouth towards his. He kissed her deeply and roughly, letting his tongue slip past her lips and entwined it to hers.

He suddenly felt her knees begin to quiver, and he realized that if he didn't do something about their vast difference in height, this would all end soon.

Grasping her by the hips, he hoisted her up and wrapped her long pale legs around him.

'Much better,' he thought as their mouths latched together once again.

And all the while, their hands moved over each other restlessly; yet while Endymion's movements and gestures were vastly skilled and experienced, Serenity's were quite the opposite.

'This is all so new to her,' Endymion noted as her small dainty hands slid over his muscled bare chest.

She suddenly shifted in attempt to turn her body slightly, instead, she wound up grinding her hips against his, causing friction. He wasn't able to bite back the groan that rose in his throat, and liking the response she got from him, the moon Princess repeated her movements harder, pleased to hear him groan again as he mimicked her movements.

It became a battle, a game between them to see who could make the other moan louder

Serenity was in ecstasy; NO ONE had ever touched her this way before, or made her feel this way

As they continued to ground their hips together, Endymion's strong, calloused hand trailed down to rest on her inner thigh, stroking tantalizing circles that had Serenity sighing with pleasure.

Slowly, his hand began inching upwards pulling up the already short nightgown. Serenity's eyes bolted open and fluttered closed as she felt his hand sneak inside her underwear.

A cry of ecstasy suddenly erupted from her lips as she felt one of Endymion's fingers slide inside her.

"Shhh," he whispered, his lips finding hers as he slid in another finger, "You don't want to wake everyone in the palace now do you?"

He swallowed her moans and cries as he slid in a third finger, using his thumb to press it over her clit.

She was practically whimpering now, legs quivering around him as she bucked her hips in sync with his fingers. She was so close to the edge, teetering slightly as she felt herself spiraling out of control.

"Oh god Endymion!" she suddenly cried out loudly. Any second now, any second now…

Hearing his name suddenly returned Endymion to his senses. Serenity's eyes fluttered open as she felt him pull his fingers away and untangle her legs from around him.

Once she was on her own two feet he looked her over. Her lips looked thoroughly ravished and her long silky hair clung to her hot and sweaty body.

But what drew his attention were her eyes. They looked depthless and dazed, yet very confused.

"Good night Serenity," he said briskly, no emotion filling his voice.

And as he walked off, he stopped for a moment to look her way.

"Oh," he added, not seeing the almost hurt look in the princess' eyes, "Consider us even."

O.O.O
