Chapter THREE
After settling down on his bed Endymion realized that Serenity looked to be having another bad dream. If his mind had been clearer he would have just noticed she just wasn't sleeping right since his body wasn't by hers.
So Endymion believing she was having a nightmare, pulled her body to his and slowly woke her up. He wanted her awake fully tonight. Serenity woke up and looked at him and they both smiled. She hugged him and lay on his arm on her left side facing him cradled up against him on his arm not even noticing he was totally naked. Endymion moved a little onto his side so he could be facing her better.
Endymion smiled and ran his hands slowly up and down her body. His hand came in contact with her right breast and his body became more determined while his mind shut down and just enjoyed what the body wanted.
Serenity lay very still loving how he made her body feel making her body feel relaxed and something along the line of wanting. But what it wanted she just couldn't put her finger on it at the moment. Serenity knew she wanted him to do something more then just rub his hand up and down.
Endymion rolled Serenity so she was under him catching her off guard just a little since he had never done anything like that before. Their eyes meet again and held, both of them seeming to know that no words needed to be spoken at that moment. And Serenity wasn't about to say anything and maybe mess up things. Sure she didn't know what was really going to happen but Serenity knew that whatever it was she wanted Endymion to make it happen and no one else.
Endymion lay his left hand against her cheek resting it there for a moment then slid it up into her hair then to the back of her head tilting it up a little. He used no force and just held her head like that while he seemed to memorize ever feature and every line of her face. Endymion glanced down and noticed his shirt on her. The same shirt he had given to her the first night when Serenity had first arrived. Endymion moved his hands and slowly worked at unbuttoning it the whole time keeping eye contact with her.
After getting the last button out of the hole Endymion opened the shirt fast wanting to see her chest and not being disappointed in what he saw. He was a little surprised she was developed so well. His smile grew even more after he noticed she only had his shirt on and nothing else. Serenity watched him looking at her bare chest and noticed how relaxed she was. It seemed to her that her body knew it was okay for him to look at her.
Endymion looked back up to her face, after noticing she only had his shirt on, and then her eyes and the two of them both smiled. Endymion bent his head and captured her lips with his own. And never before had he kissed anyone like he was kissing her. Serenity slowly kissed him back slowly at first and heard him moan as he moved his head just a little and deepened the kiss. Serenity relaxed totally loving the kiss he was giving to her. Never before had she enjoyed the kisses from others but from Endymion she wanted more. Her mind and body screamed out for her to let him give any and all that he could.
Serenity reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her body. His body was pressed against hers so she could feel the entire length and weight of his strong body and Serenity loved every moment of it. Unlike others who had dared to kiss Serenity in the past, she welcomed Endymion's lips on hers and his teeth when they started to nibble on her lips and his tongue as it went into her mouth. She loved the heat from his bare chest as it rested against hers.
After his tongue went into Serenity's mouth Endymion leaned his body forward as his hands went to her head and into her hair to pull her head closer to his by tilting it up just a little. His legs automatically making hers open so he could be between them and closer to her.
After he was settled down between her open legs Endymion slowly left her lips and kissed his way down to her chest going to her right breast first. His hands went and cupped both breast and he loved how they felt. No one had felt as good or right in his hands before now. He went back and started to give each of her hard nipples attention making the first one grow even more erect with the touch of his tongue as Serenity laid there loving everything he did to her, everything he was making her body feel. All of her senses were drawn to one pulsing spot, and Endymion seemed to know because her need matched his.
Endymion loved how Serenity responded to his touch and loved knowing he was the first to ever touch her and awaken her to womanhood. He also loved knowing he could go slow and take his time. He didn't have to pretend to know what he was doing like with the women from the past that he had made out with. Endymion didn't have to worry if he made a mistake and Serenity compared him with another since he was her first. And from hearing her moans and sighs, Endymion could tell that whatever he was doing to her it was right.
Endymion moved up just ever so slightly and he teased her left earlobe for a few minutes then he worked his tongue to her lips to trace them lightly before taking them again with his own. He then left her lips again working his way slowly lower on Serenity's skin making his mouth feel like fire on her skin. Serenity threw her head back and allowed him full freedom of every inch of her body.
Not being able to hold back any longer, Endymion shifted his weight back onto her and suddenly he was inside her smooth and easy. Serenity cried out and Endymion knew he had hurt her. He stilled in his movements but Serenity wrapped her arms around his neck and tightened her legs around his hips pulling him deeper into her and he lost any semblance of sanity as he felt the warmth of her body surround his own.
Endymion waited to move to let her catch her breath and reminded himself that Serenity was smaller then him. But after Serenity gasped out loud and then she pulled his body even closer to hers, he reached and touched her breasts, kissed her face and murmured words to arouse her without knowing what he was saying as he started to drive into her again and again pushing himself to the edge.
One sensation after another rippled through Serenity drawing her upward to meet the force of his body as Endymion started to move in her. They started soaring together in a storm of powerful sensation as they moved rhythmically together.
Endymion slowly and gently made love to Serenity keeping in mind that she was ever so gentle and would need a gentle touch. He held her tight against his body the whole time. Kissing her now and then everywhere and making her sigh out his name more then once as he called out hers more then once.
Serenity loved knowing she was making Endymion happy and he was making her very happy. And oh how she loved him and knew deep in her heart she would always love only him. No other man would ever be in her heart like Endymion was.
Afterwards Endymion rolled off of her and then held her naked body next to his. They fell asleep both smiling and content. Endymion smiled again with the knowledge that he was her first and she was his. She would always be his and remember him just as he would always remember her. Endymion smiled again and sighed as he pulled Serenity closer to his body loving how her body felt by his. Realizing that he always liked her body next to his it fit so perfectly.
But in the morning Endymion woke up and thought about her age again but he didn't move or move her out of his arms. He lay there not moving as he looked up at the canopy over the bed. Serenity woke up smiling as she remembered what they had done. She looked at her crystal and decided that she would give it to him later that day. She looked at his face and saw the blank look on his face and in his eyes. No emotions at all. Serenity started to get scared and Endymion felt her body tense up and he looked at her fast. His eyes softened and he hugged her and said, "It's okay Serenity. Everything will be okay my little one." Serenity looked at him and then gave a shy smile as she leaned over and kissed his cheek which made him smile.
They got up and dressed. Endymion wouldn't look at Serenity at all as they each put their clothes on. Not until she was fully dressed did he glance at her. He walked to her and took her hand and they left out to go down to eat. They were both silent each thinking of the other. Endymion felt bad and felt that he had used her. He kept thinking of her age. He wouldn't think about her body or how she responded to him and matched his movements or how much his mind and body screamed out that he wanted her again. Endymion sat there and started to blame all the wine he had consumed but in the back of his mind he knew he had been sober and not that drunk. Serenity ate in silence thinking of how to give him her crystal.
As they ate they got word that Serenity's parents were on the way and they should be there soon. Endymion finally noticed that the four guys had shown up. Each young man looking tired and worn out. Serenity got happy that she would get to see her parents but then sad as she realized she wouldn't get to be with Endymion in his rooms. She noticed how quiet he was and she wondered what she might have done wrong. Endymion sat there wondering if he would be able to face Serenity's parents knowing what he had done the night before.
After they were done eating everyone in the dinning hall left out to the yards to wait for Serenity's parents to show up. The people of Endymion's parent's court were surprised to see them. They all realized that Serenity's father was very powerful by all the guards he had with him and his wife.
When Serenity saw her father and her mother she ran to them both hugging her mother first then getting swept up into her fathers strong arms. Her father held her tight and swung her around while his deep jolly laugh rang out making everyone around smile.
Her father let his little princess down after Endymion walked to them and greeted both her parents. His proper training and etiquette kicked in and blocked out images of Serenity's father hurting him. Serenity's mother hugged her again while her husband shook Endymion's hand then turned and looked at his parents who had walked over and joined them. Endymion introduced the four never knowing that both sets of parents already knew each other. But the four acted like they didn't.
After a few minutes the four parents walked inside talking to each other as they each still acted like they were meeting for the first time. Endymion noticed Serenity by her mother and he realized that he missed having her by his side and on his arm.
After the four parents talked, Serenity's father yelled at Endymion's four guards then her mother did making the four guys wish that the man was yelling at them again. When she was done and no one was looking all four guys left out of the room one at a time. Once away they looked at each other then ran off to their rooms.
Serenity's parents then went over to Endymion and thanked him for keeping Serenity so safe. Endymion blushed a little and told them they were welcome then he got silent knowing how his mind wanted to scream out that he had just had sex with their little girl not even twenty four hours ago and how he wanted to again.
The four adults each still smiling like they were the cat who ate the canary left the room to go and talk alone. Endymion's mom told Serenity's mom everything about how Endymion had been acting and the things he said about Serenity making both women giggle while their husbands both just smiled and looked at a map that showed how their lands were right next to each others.
In reality Serenity's parents could have come within a five days ride but they didn't. The four parents who wanted nothing more then to get their son and daughter together, wanted the two to spend time alone and they each could tell by the looks in the two's eyes that if something hadn't had happened the night before between the two then it would be very soon.
Yes at first Serenity's parents had no rest when she was first taken but when the messenger boy showed up, meeting Serenity's father halfway who was on his way to his friends kingdom to get help to look for her, with the note from Endymion's father, her father relaxed sending a note back telling how they would make sure the four generals would go around in circles for a few weeks. Sure the boys were in trouble for taking Serenity but not as much as they could be. The two kings and two queens had a plan for the four later.
While the four adults talked and made the next plan in their plan, Endymion took Serenity outside so they could take a walk together alone. And while they walked they were both silent each lost in their own worlds.
That night during dinner they both learned that Serenity and her parents were leaving the next day early. Her father had to get back he said. The two were both shocked but didn't say anything. They never noticed their parents smiling at each other.
Later that night Serenity went to bed with her mother. Endymion stood beside his empty bed and only looked at it. He finally left his rooms and went out to the gardens where he saw Serenity out there alone. Endymion walked over to where she stood beside a weeping willow tree.
Serenity looked up at him as he walked to her and then joined her by the tree. "Why aren't you in bed?" He asked in a soft voice while he looked down into her eyes. "I couldn't sleep." Serenity answered in a soft voice looking up into his eyes. "You…You go home tomorrow my little one you should get some rest." Endymion said in the same soft voice. "I know." Serenity said now in a whispered voice. She looked down to her hands.
Serenity stood there waiting for Endymion to ask her to stay and marry him. But he didn't. Endymion just stood there in the silent night looking down at her. She looked back up at him after a few minutes when they both hadn't said anything. Endymion noticed her eyes tearing up.
"Here I want you to have this. Only you Endymion." Serenity said as she placed her necklace with the gold crystal in his hands. She then turned away and then ran back inside.
Endymion watched her then looked down and saw the crystal. He closed his hand tight and closed his eyes while he remembered what she had said about the crystal and who she'd give it to.
Endymion never realized when he put the gold chain on his own neck. He stood out by the tree in the same spot until he saw the first rays of sunlight. Serenity had also stayed up all night thinking about him while she lay in her bed.
Everyone noticed how quiet the two were later that morning. Serenity's mother noticed that Serenity had given Endymion her necklace and she smiled and told his mother who smiled also.
Everyone in the household showed up to tell Serenity good bye and that they were going to miss her being around. Serenity only smiled at them all with the smile that they all loved.
Endymion was the last one to hug her good bye. He whispered so only she heard him and she smiled big and gave him a kiss on his check. And then Serenity ran to her father who was already on his horse along with his wife and their guards. Serenity's father pulled her to sit in front of him then he told everyone around goodbye then he waved his hand then turned his large horse around and rode off fast with his wife right beside him and their guards just as close.
Endymion only stood there and played with the crystal on his neck as he watched the horses ride off fast.
