There and then he felt it, the burning lust that raged in his heart, commiting treason before God and the kingdom. She watched him, burning in her own sin. She watched how he lifted his head with pride, his shoulders relaxed, and sitting against the back of the chair. The way he held his wine glass, twirling it this way and that way, the light bouncing off and sending spectrums all over the walls. His hands were large but held the glass with a delicate and eloquent grip. She gripped hard to her chair arms. She knew she was about to play fire with fire.
As days went by Serenity found herself developing her old routine again, becoming more involved with her kingdom's affairs; thanks to Endymion who included her talks and visiting the dungeons to listen to the prisoners. Starting to slowly give commands people obeyed d her with pleasure. The Knights listened to her views in counsel and Endymion looked upon her with a wondering eye.
Endymion sat in the library slumped over his desk doing the laborious paper work. The Doors opened and the Guards jumped to attention, announcing the entrance of the Queen. Endymion shot up, and slowly gaped, gulped and loosened his top laces. Serenity stood tall and mighty, her delicate shoulders exposed by the Grecian styled blue and white gown she was wearing. Endymion's eye wondered over her, to her shoulders, the way the loose fabric went in at her tiny waist and flowed out over her small hips and fell like drops in a puddle onto the floor. He dropped to one knee and kissed her hand. Then kissed her palm softly, which brought surprise to Serenity. She blanched suddenly as she met his eyes. The guards hid a secret smile.
"My Lord, is there somewhere I can have private speech with you? To the gardens?" asked Serenity in a formal voice which concerned Endymion.
Endymion nodded, but then leaned forward and whispered in her ear. Serenity smiled at him and led the way to the gardens. They found a shaded bench, she sat and patted the space beside her but he shook his head. He preferred to stand.
"My Lord," she started, "I have received a letter from my – From the King." Her smiled died. She paled and started trembling. Endymion looked surprised, if Diamond was going to write he would have written to him first he thought. The last person he would want to write to was Serenity. "I-find it suspicious that he wrote to me. But it's just like Diamond. He has delayed his home-coming for another 6 months. He won't be home until a year's time. And he said that if I am not pregnant within a month of his home coming, he is going to –to-"She gave a big sigh, "to put me away!" She gasped and her hand covered her mouth, it had all come out in a tumbled rush.
Darien's eyes widened, "What? Serenity, forgive my informal tones, but he can't do that! Number one, you are the Moon kingdom's rightful heir to the throne! Plus, "His face grew grave as he frowned, "Diamond wouldn't just 'put you away'. Diamond has grown into a monster. "He looked around to see the gardeners had gone, the windows to the towers were closed and curtained. They were alone."If I know him Serenity he will beat you until you are dead."
Serenity gulped loudly. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks as she gripped hard to the stone bench to still her wild trembling. Serenity couldn't bring herself to speak, she plunged into fear that had been dispelled as she grew and relished in her new freedom. Endymion paced back and forth, "Serenity he can't gain anything from putting you away. If anything he'd gain an opposing team of people. In fact Diamond would have an army. I think his intentions are-"
"For me to step down as Queen, leave the Kingdom so he can remarry and have a son." Serenity finished.
"Yes to the step down and leave the Kingdom, but no to the son maybe. Diamond seems to think he can rule a Kingdom alone." Muttered Darien as if he had a bad taste in his mouth.
Serenity stood and walked over to him and set a hand on his arm to stop his pacing that was giving her a headache. "Endymion." He turned his face to meet hers, "Diamond will not be home for another year. Probably indulging in mitres parties. "She drew strength from Endymion, she stood up straight; squared her shoulders and spoken defiantly, "But I will rule the Kingdom while he is gone. Whether he likes it or not. For he can not touch me while he is gone."
Endymion nodded and grinned, "Good to hear such a defiant tone in your voice Serenity." He took her small hand and clasped it gently between his own two warm hands. She drew more strength from him. "Endymion, another matter has arisen."
He saw the glint in her eye; the dangerous speak that aroused him. He stepped closer, "Oh?"
"I saw the way you looked at me 3 nights ago. In fact I've seen the way you look at me every night. With that same spark in your eye that I carry." She stepped closer, and splayed her hands on his chest. "It's dangerous. Too dangerous..." she drifted of as his arms came around her and held her shoulders firmly. "You were saying?" He whispered He smirked as he bent his head closer to hers, the tips of their noses touching. The air was still and the sound of her gulping could only be heard.
Her breathing came fast and sharp, his hands slowly fell to her waist and he pulled her up tight against him, her hand traced the outline of his cheek, his arms were like iron. "Endymion...kiss me."
He smiled, holding back. "I thought you said it was dangerous..." he grinned.
"I command you...to kiss me... you can not ignore a command..." she whispered her lips against his. He kissed her with a passion that gripped them to their very souls. A fire that had been long burning, found vent in a wild desperation to be needed, commanded, loved and wanted.
