Chapter 6: The Temptress' Game
Part 1
He must be hallucinating. Yes, a cruel hallucination where he was tortured beyond his reached. A forbidden fruit he would soon have, but not today. The Goddess. 'His' Goddess was walking towards them wearing a mouth-watering piece of clothing. She was wearing a tight V-neck sleeveless shirt tucked in to her Capri pants that molded her hips and behind like second skin. Desire started to ignite beneath his stomach while the passion he felt for her still burns anew from the moment he laid his eyes on her. He cleared his throat and regained his composure when she was five feet away from him.
"Can I help you, Princess?" Prince Endymion asked calmly and tried VERY hard not to gawk at her beauty.
"It's getting late and I came here to get you, my Prince." Serenity said.
"Late for what?" Endymion asked in confusion.
"You asked me if I could spend some time with you today, so here I am. I suggest you change into something more comfortable, you look...Uh..." She eyed him up and down. "Over dress." She finished and turned to leave then stopped to look over her shoulder and said, "And make it quick, we have so many things to do. I'll wait for you outside."
"What just had happened?" Asked the stunned prince as he watched the retreating form of Serenity.
"I say you have been bossed and ordered around by a woman." Nephrite said and the men just nodded their heads in agreement, mouths agape. All of them are in awe by how good the princess handled the prince. No woman had ever acted this way towards their prince like she did.
"Better hurry, Endymion or else she might get mad and do something to you." Jadeite advised.
"I'll risk getting late if that 'something' will benefit both of us." Endymion replied as he left to change.
Game 1: Martian horseback riding with a little bit of Venutian seduction.
"Good you're here. Let's go." Serenity said when Endymion finally arrived. He was wearing a black shirt accentuating his broad shoulders and well-muscled chest and his black pants showing his powerful legs.
'He is so handsome.' Serenity thought dreamily, but she wouldn't let him know that.
"What are your plans for us today?" He asked nonchalant. 'Just thinking of spending time with this beauty was a prize, but the whole day? It must be a blessing from the heavens above.' He thought happily.
"We are going horse back riding." Serenity said. "Martian style." She added and tried not to look at those deep blue eyes. Eyes that hunted her dreams since she was a child and now, his Adonis physique was no help either. They walked to the awaiting horses and Serenity showed Endymion a great black stallion for him to use while hers was an elegant white horse.
"The stable boy must have forgotten some things." He said as he noticed the lack of saddle and reins.
"We are to ride Martian style, we don't need saddles and stuffs." She informed him as she stroked the horse's white mane.
"I see." Serenity stopped stroking her horse and went to stand in front of him, inches away from actually touching him. Endymion was at least six-foot tall and three inches and her head could only reached up to his chest.
Endymion could feel her breath on his neck as she tilted her head up to him and felt the touch of her soft little hands against his chest for support as she leaned in to him.
"You DO know how to ride bare back, don't you Endymion?" She whispered seductively.
"Uh..." He cleared his throat. "I do, I just... Uh... think that..." Another sound was made from him. "Think that it's dangerous to ride without the reins at least." He finished, trying his best not to act affected by her touch and her lithe form. Her breath warmed him, adding to the sweet torture he was feeling. He silently prayed to the gods to have mercy on him, for if she did not stop what she was doing to him right now, he might do something that both of them would regret later.
"Then you're not afraid to ride without any reins?" She continued.
"Of course." Swallowing hard as one of her fingers draw circles on his chest.
"Good. Let's ride." She exclaimed happily, leaning away from him and headed towards her horse. "You ready?" She asked as she mounted her horse gracefully and he nodded when he was already on top of his stallion.
'How hard could it be?' Was his last thought as they started to ride. Serenity quickened her pace to see if the prince could catch up to her. Endymion tried to catch up with her, but he was having a hard time controlling his horse. Even though he was born riding horses, he was not use to ride bare back at all. Suddenly, he was thrown out and fell ungracefully to the ground with a loud thud.
Serenity was hoping that he would not catch up with her and it was granted, but when she saw him being thrown out of his horse her triumph turned into fear, concern, and guilt. She motioned her horse to turn back and rode as fast as she could to him.
"Endymion." She called out frantically as she quickly dismounted her horse and knelt to his side. "Endymion, are you alright?"
"Ugh..." He groaned and winced at the searing pain from his head and right arm where he first took the heavy fall.
"Endymion, don't move." She commanded as she checked for broken bones, silently thanking Amy-chan for the first aid lectures. When she was sure that he didn't broke any bones she then checked his wounds.
"Tell me where you hurt." Instead of answering, Endymion tried to sit up. "Wait, you shouldn't get up yet."
"Help... me... sit." He said, groaning and she did what he was asked. "Ah!" He cried out, pain shot through his head.
"Don't touch it. Let me see." She purred softly like a mother to her child. Serenity grabbed his hand away from his head wound and examined it. "Don't worry, Endymion. I'll take care of you." She sang comfortingly, guilt, fear, and concern brought tears in her eyes. She lifted her hands close to his head wound and closed her watery eyes. Serenity concentrated her energy to flow to her hands into his wounds and the wound slowly closed and healed. She repeated the same process to the rest of his wounds, cuts, and bruises even his aching muscles.
"How do you feel?" She asked, murmuring. Endymion looked at her tear stained face and was amazed by her power of healing.
"I feel good as new, Thanks to you." He said smiling.
"No, don't thank me, please. It's my fault you got hurt. I'm really really sorry. I knew that you were probably not very good in bare back riding, but I still insisted that we ride. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry, Endymion." She cried. Her eyes filled with tears that came rolling down her cheeks.
"Shh... It's not your fault. I know what I was getting into, but my pride won't let me say the truth." Endymion reached up to wipe the wetness from her skin.
"Please stop crying. It pains me to see such beautiful creature shed tears because of me." He continued, caressing her flesh like a delicate rose.
"You... (Sniff) forgive me?" She asked between hiccups.
"There is nothing to forgive, Princess." He reassured as he drew her face to him. He kissed her softly at first, giving tiny peck to her trembling lips. Kissing the sides of her mouth then settled his mouth on to her lips, waiting for her to open it.
Serenity's mind was twirling around her; she started to become light headed at the touch of his lips and the next thing she knew she was opening her mouth to him. Welcoming the invasion of his tongue to hers.
Endymion couldn't be happier as she granted the single wish that was on his mind right now, for her to open her sweet little mouth. When opened for him, he plunged his tongue in to hers, searching and tasting the flavor of her self. He kissed her softly then passionately.
'She tasted as sweet as her intoxicating scent.' His desire fogged mind thought sweetly. No woman had ever made him feel like she did to him. He couldn't say what it was exactly, but it was scaring him and at the same time he liked the feeling she instill to him. She responded to him with the ardor as equal as his own. He ended it with a soft kiss to her mouth now red and swollen from their encounter. When they are finally parted, both of them are panting.
"Your taste is the most sweetest dessert I have ever tasted. I say it is the most effective cure a man could have ever received for, I assure you, dear princess, that I thought I was in heaven kissing the most heavenly creature that our god had made. For that, I thank you, Angel." He said. Serenity could feel the hot blushed coloring her cheeks.
"We... (Clears her throat) We better go." She declared as she stood up and tried to compose her self.
"I'll meet you at the pond in thirty-minutes." With that, she left.

Game 2: Mercurian Style Skating
"What happened to you? You looked like you ran in a Jurian marathon." Princess Minako said, seeing her flushed faced cousin enters the living room that adjoined their rooms.
"What did you say?" She asked when she saw Serenity mumbled something under her breath.
"I said nothing. Nothing is wrong." She snapped impatiently. She was angry and kicked herself mentally as she remembered the way she responded to his kiss.
"You're not a very good liar, Sere. So better tell me now or I'll do a little investigating myself." She threatened.
"Oh okaaaaaaaaay." Serenity said in defeat. "I just came from bare back riding with Endymion."
"Oh yeah, so what happened? Everything fell in to plan?" Minako asked eagerly and raised an eyebrow as she noticed her cousin's face colored once again.
"Yes, until something happened." Serenity's rosy face deepens even more.
"Go on." Her cheery venutian cousin encouraged her to go on.
"I... Uh... We... Uh... Kissed." She whispered the last word in embarrassment.
"You did what?" Minako shouted in surprised. Her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Oh do tell!" She continued, squealing like a little child.
"Well... The plan was working out well when he was thrown out of his horse." Serenity nodded when she Minako gasped.
"I went to him quickly and healed his wound when I saw he was in pain, then the next thing I know I... We... Umm... He kissed me." She finished in a low voice.
"And?" Minako asked impatiently, eager to hear more information from her.
"And I kissed him back." Serenity's face colored like a ripe cherry while her cousin laughed in delight.
"Oh Sere! So, was he a good kisser? Come on you can tell me." She said merrily.
"MINAKO!"
"Well, I guess that answers my question." She said laughing.
"Shut up. I'm going, I have to meet up with Endymion in a few minutes." Walking to the other room, Serenity grumbled to herself about locking up a certain blonde hair cousin and throwing away the keys.
"And to have some more." Minako teased, laughing at her cousin when Serenity sticks out her tongue childishly at her.
'Oh she surely is a tease. Well, for me she is.' Endymion thought smugly as he watched Serenity walked towards him. He was absolutely appreciating her taste in clothing. She changed her clothes and wore a peasant long sleeve top that was loose enough to outline her high firm breast while tucked in to her very VERY short skirt. He tried not to drool all over the place as he stared at her tantalizing legs that seemed to go on forever.
"You look ravishing, my dear." Endymion complimented taking Serenity's hand and kissed it softly. Serenity controlled not to blush at his words. Minako taught her how to dress sexily and seductively while not looking like a loose woman.
"Thank you. Do you know how to skate?" Serenity asked.
"Yes. Are we going ice-skating? But where? I can only see a pond with no ice."
"Don't worry. We'll make ice." Serenity spared him a smile before walking to the pond and stopped when her feet almost touched the water's edge. She closed her eyes and chanted some words. The pond glowed like a sun rising up to the sky. After several seconds, the water slowly turned into a solid mass of white crystal as the light faded away.
"Now we have ice." Serenity said smiling and Endymion smiled back thinking that this woman never seemed to stop amazing him.
"Yes." He agreed simply and stepped in to the ice naturally. "Come." He continued.
Serenity lose her balance as soon as she stepped on to the ice, forgetting to say the words to make the soles of her shoes appropriate for skating.
Endymion laughed heartily as she landed on her back ungracefully. He went to her and held out his hand.
"What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?" He asked and chuckled when she turned her head to her side and pouted. Her face flushed with embarrassment and irritation. Chuckled turned to laughter as he watched her stubborn behavior. No matter how sophisticated she looked, she was still the same little girl he met ten years ago. Serenity stood up, ignoring his hand.
"I changed my mind. I don't want to skate anymore. I want to shed some sweat, meet me up at the training room." With that, she left, leaving the amused Prince behind.
