Note: Sorry for the long delay. I've decided to post quickly for the delay of the century lol. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it. Review!

For the majority of the day, Serenity didn't get to see Endymion except for at the breakfast table. She wondered if she'd be able to see him at all. She was fitted for her gown and at lunch she didn't see him. Now, she was wondering aimlessly outside the palace grounds in search of peace away from every one especially Atalides. She had somehow wandered along a path that led to a lake. For some reason it seemed hidden- like no one was suppose to know it exist or if they did it was not permitted to enter. Either way, it peaked her curiosity. She looked behind her to see that she was alone and scurried down the path, through the bushes toward the lake. As she got closer to the end she heard splashing. She began to slow her pace as to not startle whom ever she was intruding upon. As she entered the clearing she noticed Endymion floating. She suddenly became shy and nervous and decided to turn around and leave. When she turned to leave she stepped on a twig causing it to snap loudly if it was even possible.

"Who's there." Endymion called out.

She knew she was caught and she turned around sheepishly. She sighed and headed down to the lake's edge. Endymion smiled at the sight of her.

"Sere!" He exclaimed happily.

She smiled as he swam up to her.

"Are you feeling alright today?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm fine thank you." She said politely.

"Would you like to join me?"

"I don't know" She said nervously blushing

Endymion smiled sweetly at her. She was the most exquisite creature to him. She warm breeze blew her hair gently and all he wanted to do was kiss her beautiful lips. Her cheeks were so rosy from her embarrassment that it made her look like an angel.

"Come on. I'll turn my back while you undress." He said turning away from her.

"Undress!" She exclaimed.

"Well either that or get your dress wet and have to explain it going back to the palace." He protested.

Secretly he was dying to see her creamy flesh but he was trying not to think of her in a sexual manner.

She looked around hoping that no one was around.

"What if someone sees us?" She asked

"No one will, I'm not even sure how you found this place. It is on my private grounds away from the palace." He said.

"Okay.." She quickly undressed and and climbed into the lake swam away from Endymion.

"You're safe here with me plus no one would dare question me." He said, " Is it safe to turn around now?"

She splashed him with a huge wave catching him off guard. He quickly retaliated which caught her off guard. She yelped in surprise and a water war had begun. After they tired out, Endymion laughed joyously. His laughter made Serenity want to melt right into the water. It also made her forget her nakedness and just enjoy his company. She also began to laugh with him. It had been a long time since she could just laugh heartily and be happy. Endymion's laughter died down as he swam closer to her and noticed a mark on her cheek. He touch her cheek gently causing her to stop laughing and hold her breath.

"He hit you again." He murmured, not questioning her.

"She didn't say anything, there was no need to. She just simply looked on into the water wanting to sink.

"I won't let him touch you again." He declared coldly getting ready to leave the water.

"No, please don't! You'll make it worse." She cried out stopping him.

She held onto his arm tightly and he looked down at her to see real fear in her eyes.

"Can you just hold me?" She asked.

"Yes." He said.

He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead. He swam the back close to shore. He wrapped his arms around him as the lay on the water's edge, just barely being covered by a blanket of warm water. Serenity never felt so safe in her life. She looked up into his eyes boldly and kissed him for the first time. He responded quickly with so much passion and fire that she surprising met. Endymion pulled her on top of him so she could be in control of leaving if things went to far to fast. Her wet hair blanketed them with the water. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he gently held her, hoping that this was her first time and he would be her only. As they lay there exploring each other for the first time, the gods looked down on them with happiness.
