Hell Bent On Love

By: afallenblackrose

Chapter Twelve:

There's a Wicked Spell

Weeks had passed since the first meeting between Serena and Endymion, and things had become quite interesting. Serena found herself trusting Endymion more and more and, she hated to admit it, she was slowly falling for him. She didn't know why, but it might have been because he wasn't acting like the rumor mills had said. He was kind, polite and dare she even say funny. He let her speak her mind, believing that women needed to be heard, especially her.

"Your opinions are refreshing," he told her a few days ago when they were on a picnic. "How did you get to be so wise?"

"My father believes all women should be well educated. He brings back many books from his travels and I read them all."

Serena smiled at the memory. Somehow, Lord Endymion Rockwood had wormed his way into her heart.

"Am I crazy, Gabriella for falling for a man like Endymion?" She asked her maid who was brushing her hair. For the third straight day she and Endymion had plans.

"Do you believe so, Lady Serena?"

"I am not sure. A part of me believes in this change of character, but at the same time, can a leopard really change his spots?"

"I believe he can, my lady. You don't see the way he looks at you."

"The way he looks at me?" Serena looked up at her maid questioningly. "How does he look at me, Gabriella?"

"Well, to put it bluntly, Lady Serena, he looks at you like you are the only thing in this world that matters. Like he is hanging on your very words, waiting for you to tell him what to do."

Serena frowned. How was this possible? In the years that she had known Endymion he was always a spoiled, selfish brat. He was knowledgeable and knew very well the position he was to play when he grew up. And grew up he had. Striking all the females, except for Serena, crazy for his attention. Attention he basked in and took pleasure in. Maybe he had matured again?

"Serena," her father knocked on her bedroom door.

"Come in," she replied and stood to greet him. Her father walked into the room and enveloped his daughter into a hug.

"I don't know what you have done, my daughter, but Lord Endymion is here to see you again." With these simple words, Serena felt her heart beat faster. Oh, it was no use to deny it anymore. She was falling for Endymion.

She smiled at her father, "Are you implying that I have bewitched him, father?"

"Of course not. Any man would be a fool not to fall for you. Now, come, it is best if we don't keep him waiting, hm?" He offered her his arm and they left the room with Gabriella following behind. When they reached the staircase, Serena could clearly make out that familiar raven black hair. She tried to hide her smile, but failed miserably. At their entrance, Endymion lifted his head and watched Serena gracefully walk down the stairs, seeing her smile he couldn't help but have one of his own.

"Here she is, Lord Endymion," her father said stopping in front of them.

"Thank you, Lord Salvatore," he turned his attention to her. He bowed and kissed the knuckles of her right hand. "Lady Serena."

"Lord Endymion," she curtsied.

"Have fun you two," her father said, a smile on his face before he walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone, Endymion couldn't help but fully take in Serena's beauty. Her golden hair was in a braid with a few loose wisps surrounding her beautiful face and she wore a simple pink dress.

"You look beautiful, as always, Serena," he said dropping the formal title.

"Why, thank you, Endymion," she replied. He offered her his arm and they walked out of her home.

I woke up with a sigh of discontent on my lips. I didn't want to awaken from that last memory. Something big was going to happen that day, I could just feel it, and I wanted to know what. I tried to resume my sleep to find out, when I felt someone watching me. Considering the day's events, my mind instantly thought of the worst scenario. Diamond had somehow gotten past Beryl and was now standing here…

I sat up and literally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't Diamond. It was Endymion.

"You scared me," I breathed and settled amongst the pillows.

"Sorry," he replied coming forward. "You just looked so peaceful, I didn't want to disturb your slumber. Did you dream anything interesting?"

"Another memory."

"What was this one about?" He sat down, so he was looking directly at me, making me, surprisingly feel uncomfortable. But not in a bad way. More because I remembered the last time we were in this bed, and the things we had done…Gah. What the hell did I have to be embarrassed about? What we had done was entirely natural and I really wanted to do it again.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, right, the recent memory.

"I'm not quite sure," I replied. "We were at my house, then left and that was when I woke up." Endymion was quiet and then he smiled. Really, the Devil smiled, and it wasn't a fearful one either. Something about the memory was fond for him. I just wished I knew what.

"You're going to like the rest of that memory, Serenity," he whispered and leaned down so I felt his hot breath against my face. "But, if you don't mind, I'd rather you didn't go back to sleep just yet."

"Really? And why is that?"

"Because," he drawled, his voice husky. "I keep forgetting what it does to me, to see you in my bed." His eyes had turned black and unlike before when it was out of supreme anger, this time it was because of lust. I chuckled softly and waited for his lips to touch mine. As if fueled by my chuckle, they crashed upon me and took my very breath away. Something was different about this kiss than the ones we had previously shared. It was softer, but at the same time more demanding. I lost myself quicker and knew that I shouldn't be bothered with the kiss.

And as Endymion pressed himself into me, I realized that there was more pressing matters at hand then the meaning of a silly kiss. He ripped the comforter away from my body and placed his hands on either side of my torso. Instantly my body began to heat at his touch. His tongue delved into my mouth and teased mine. I almost groaned in response. He was such a tease.

My fingers found the buttons of his shirt and began to undo them. At the action, Endymion drew away from me. I started to feel insecure. Did he not like it when a woman took charge? But I thought back to our previous session where I had been on top. He didn't seem to mind it then. What was going on now? A cool breeze swept over me and I noticed that I was naked. Wait, how? I knew for a fact that I had a dress on before I went to take my quick nap. What had just happened? I looked up at him in question and noticed that he was also bare. He smirked.

"Sorry," he said. "I just find the removal of clothing time consuming. Besides, I'm sure if I actually took the time you would have lost another dress." He came back down and this time began to trail kisses along my naked flesh, stopping to pay homage to my breasts. He teased each nipple until they were hard and then he began to suck on each of them. I moaned at the action, which caused him to smile as he trailed more kisses down my torso.

A hand reached and he began to tease my nether region. "My sweet, Serenity," he muttered into my skin. "Already wet and ready." As if asserting his statement he slipped a finger into my channel. My hips arched up at the intrusion. I groaned, which he broke off with a deep kiss. When I broke away, I glanced up at him thinking of how unfair it was for him to be pleasing me so thoroughly and he was not being pleasured.

It was time to change that. A confused look passed on his face as he noticed something on my own. Since I knew myself pretty well, I was pretty sure it was because a wicked gleam had entered my eyes. But what he didn't know was how wicked things were going to become. My hand reached down and gently touched him, and he jumped back at the touch.

"Serenity," he growled. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Seems a little bit unfair, don't you think? That you're pleasuring me, but aren't receiving any pleasure yourself?" I asked my voice sultry, as I stroked upwards. He hissed in a response and I continued my motions. Just before he was close to coming into my hand, he reached down and yanked my hand away and kept it above my head. In the same movement, his member slammed into my channel and we both moaned in pleasure.

The pace after the initial entrance was fast paced. It hurt in the best way, and my body arched as he entered me each time. His thumb reached down and touched my clit at the same time and I almost felt my eyes roll into the back of my head at the sheer intensity of feelings running through my veins. I was close to release, I could feel it, and Endymion must have known because he drove in one last time. I clenched around him, milking him before he released his seed inside of me.

"Serena!" He exclaimed as he came, and collapsed on top of me in exhaustion. He rolled over, to ease his weight off of me and pulled me into his side. His lips were at the crook of my neck and he left one last kiss before he fell into a deep sleep. But I was too preoccupied from what had happened at the end of our love making session to fall asleep. He had called me Serena. And yes, I had told the other masters and mistresses to call me Serena a few days ago. But did he know that? Or was he calling me the name of his long last love?

I finally succumbed to the exhaustion, but not without a tad bit of confusion.

A lone figure sneaked out of the Devil's bedroom and rooms as soon as the 'sweet' couple had fallen asleep in each other's arms. The guard that had been standing guard before had been dismissed by the Devil, so the figure was able to sneak in without any problems. Now, later, he was able to sneak away with just as much ease. Before he ran into a busty red head.

"Ah, Diamond," Beryl said in greeting. "I was wondering where you got to."

"I was in the Devil's room," he replied.

"And did you see anything of interest?"

"Not quite. More like something…revolting."

"I see," Beryl said a hint of disgust in her voice. "So, they've had another session of that, have they? I don't understand what that man sees in her."

"I don't understand what she sees in him," Diamond countered. "Especially when he goes around calling her Serena."

"What did you just say?" Beryl asked whipping her head around to look at him.

"I don't understand what Serenity sees in him?"

"No, after that!"

"Especially when he goes around calling her Serena," he supplied.

"Are you a hundred percent certain that that's what he said?"

"Yes, why is it so important?"

"Because, a sliver of doubt has just been put into Serenity's head of Endymion's feelings for her. This helps with our plan," she began to grin wickedly. "Immensely."

The masters and the mistresses of hell (except for the Devil and his mistress) were sitting in the sentencing room talking amongst themselves about what the Devil had said to them earlier. They were wondering what to do with Serenity's friend Andrew if and when he was sent to hell. All the mistresses' positions were full and they knew that Serenity would not stand for her best friend to be sentenced to work in one of the circles. Endymion, knowing how much Andrew meant to her, wouldn't allow it either. Especially because of what Andrew had done for Serenity.

"Maybe he could be Endymion's assistant?" Amy suggested to the group.

"It's an option," Zoicite agreed. "It's just a matter of whether or not he will agree to it." The rest of the group muttered agreement to the idea, before Raye gasped in shock. Jadeite reached over and held her hand concern washing over his face. Mina watched curious and looked to the rest of the group to figure out what was going on.

"Raye was a priestess before she came here," Lita explained. "Sometimes she gets visions."

"What's wrong, Raye? What did you see?" Jadeite asked, his voice low and soothing.

"It isn't clear," she replied her voice shaky. "But something is coming. I'm not sure what, but it will drive Serenity away from Endymion and he won't be able to get her back again."

"Endymion, could you at least tell me where we're going?" Serena asked, her voice almost a childish whine. He couldn't help but grin at the voice. He had never told her where they were going that afternoon and what they were doing, so she was growing restless. He couldn't blame her. But he didn't want to tell her just yet where they were heading. It was a secret location and only he knew of it.

"Do you trust me, Serena?" He asked her, the childish grin on his face.

She giggled a little at the question, "I suppose." He raised his eyebrows in response to her reply. Since when had they turned that page in their relationship where they were playful with the other? Not that he minded the change; it made him feel that what he was going to do now was timed perfectly.

"You suppose?" He responded and mocked being hurt by putting his hand to his chest. "I'm hurt. I thought after the last few weeks you have come to trust me more than when we first met."

This time he got a full on laugh. "Endymion, stop it!" Her hand brushed his arm; an electrical shock went through both of them, sobering both. They were staring into each other's eyes, not sure what to say to the other. Endymion desperately wanted to kiss her, and she desperately wanted to be kissed. But they were out in public. No one really knew of the budding relationship between the two, but they both knew they could only keep it under wraps for so long. Moving closer to her, he leaned down and brushed his lips quickly against hers.

It was their first kiss. It was sweet and innocent, and everything that they both wanted from it. Some people in the town's square stared for a second before continuing on with their day, as the couple broke apart looking deeply into the other's eyes.

But there was one person who stopped to watch them, and after a few seconds followed them to wherever they were going. Not that the couple took notice of this, their heads were too far up in the clouds.

Serena and Endymion continued on their way, both enveloped in their own thoughts. They had a lot to think about with the kiss and their 'unofficial' announcement of their courtship to the town. He was thinking about how soft her lips were, while she was thinking of how much she wanted to kiss him again. Serena was also thinking about how much things had changed since they had first met several weeks ago. She hadn't trusted him one bit back then, she thought she was just another conquest. But now, when he had asked her if she did indeed trust him, she was shocked to learn from herself that she did.

Endymion drew himself out of his thoughts when he noticed where they had ended up while they were walking. They were here, and it was time to take this courtship one step further. He sighed and looked at Serena.

His sigh brought her out of her thoughts and she looked up at him startled before looking around them. She was flabbergasted at what she saw. It looked to be a secluded garden, which was odd since Serena thought she knew about every nook and cranny in this town. You learn something new everyday, she couldn't help but muse as she continued to walk around.

"This place is beautiful," she said breaking the silence between them for the first time since the kiss. "What is it?"

"It's my mother's old gardens," he replied, trying to not let his eyes wander too much. She looked so beautiful standing there in the gardens his mother used to work on when she was alive. Even more beautiful then the flowers, he couldn't help but think.

She nodded her head, "So why did you bring me here, Endymion?"

He loved the way that she said his name. He loved a lot of things about Lady Serena Salvatore, and on top of that was the reason that he had brought her to his mother's gardens. He was about to do something for the first time, and it scared him to think that she could deny him. He had never been denied before. Well, that wasn't necessarily true. Serena had denied him once, during the night of the ball, but she didn't know that she had. This time, she would know if she denied him…

"Endymion?" Her angelic voice asked him again.

"I've brought you here today, because I have something that I need to tell you," he replied, finding his voice and courage. He wasn't looking at her, so he didn't see her freeze. Was this the moment where he tore Serena's trust to pieces? Where he told her that she was right about him from the start? Serena continued to watch him as he walked around the gardens. Looking everywhere, but at her.

"I know this may seem rather sudden, especially since we've only just met, but I can't deny what I've known for awhile now. I think it's time to tell you and to hear what you have to say…" he trailed off as he picked off a red rose. Turning back to her, he handed her the flower before he said what he needed to. "Serena Salvatore, I'm in love with you."

The only reaction she had was to blink. She just didn't hear the biggest playboy of society, admit to being in love with her. It wasn't possible, but at the same time, couldn't it be? He had admitted to wanting to be different because of her, and she had given him that chance. He had yet to disappoint her. Besides, hadn't she just realized that morning that she was falling for him as well?

"A reaction to all of this would be nice," he whispered, bringing her back to the situation at hand.

"I'm sorry," she began to say, and watched as his face fell. "But I'm going to need a little bit more than one minute to reply to something I've only just begun to realize myself before I left my home this morning." She said what she felt. Did it make any sense? Probably not, but she didn't care. There were no lies in what she had said. And if he needed her to, she could explain what she meant. But as she looked at him, she realized that no explanation would be needed. He understood what she meant, as crazy as it all sounded.

He walked forward and captured her lips in another kiss. Pouring all his feelings into it. Serena let herself be taken away by the kiss, feeling that in this moment it was needed. But neither of them realized that another was witnessing the whole exchange. A busty red head watched the scene before her with rage billowing in her eyes.

*End of Flashback*

I opened my eyes and didn't feel confused like I had before I had gone to sleep. This time I felt anger. I was pissed off, and it was all because of that stupid memory that I had just relived. You're going to like that memory, I remembered Endymion saying to me before we had sex. Oh, was he ever wrong. I did not like that memory one bit, because even though I got to see Serena and Endymion declare their love for each other, I also saw Beryl in the memory as well. Why hadn't Endymion mentioned that Beryl was alive during our time?

I turned around to give the man a piece of my mind, when I realized that he was gone. Again. What was with this guy? For once I would love for him to be there when I woke up. Especially right now when I was pissed off and had a lot of questions for him to answer about our past life. I got out of bed and stalked to the closet to find a new dress to wear, and prayed that he would be back when I returned.

I was slipping on a dark blue dress over my head when I heard his footsteps stop at the door. I tried not to blast him right away, but it was hard to keep my anger at bay. He stepped behind me and did the zipper.

"I wasn't expecting you to be out of bed just yet," he whispered into my ear. "Did you sleep well?"

"Not really," I answered, my voice short and sounding somewhat annoyed, which I was, but he didn't know that. Not yet.

"Serenity, are you okay?" He asked me as I turned around and he finally was able to look at my face. He searched it thoroughly, but I tried not to have anything slip past it.

"We need to talk," I replied and walked past him back into the bedroom where I sat on the bed. He followed me a look of concern on his face now. He knew that whatever I had to say couldn't be good, and in some way he was right. "I need to know what your history was with Beryl before I came to hell."

Endymion sighed, "I knew you were going to ask about this eventually, but you need to understand that you weren't here and I never thought I would ever see Serena's reincarnated form. So over three hundred years ago, Beryl was sent to hell and I noticed that things were different with her than with the others I had sentenced even different than the masters and mistresses. So I gave her the job of being in charge of one of the circles. But she was interested in me and I was lonely…"

I didn't have an expression on my face because when Beryl and I had met for the first time I had a feeling that that was the relationship the two of them had had. It was just the way that she acted around him, and I wasn't angry that that was the relationship that they had had before I came down here. How could I be? Considering he had been the Devil for five hundred years…well, five hundred years was a really long time. Besides I hadn't even known about his existence back then.

No harm, no foul. It was just a matter of if he remembered her from before he had become the Devil.

"That's the whole history?" I asked him, my tone even.

"It wasn't a long relationship," he added. "It didn't even last a day. There was something off with her, and I didn't want anything to do with that, so I ended things. But she is who she is."

"That's actually not what I'm talking about."

"Then would you like to clarify, Serenity, because you're not making a whole lot of sense to me. Does this have anything to do with the memory?"

"Yes, it does, but it also has to deal with Beryl," I sighed as the confusion on his face grew. He probably didn't realize that Beryl had been there that day when he had confessed his love for Serena, but now that I had, I had a lot of questions. "I saw the rest of the memory from earlier, and imagine my surprise when Beryl appeared in the background of the dream."

"Beryl?" He repeated. "But how can that be? She wasn't even alive during our time."

"But I saw her!" I exclaimed. "She was watching the both of us with a look of disdain on her face."

"That doesn't make any sense. Beryl wasn't alive during our time. I would have remembered her if she had been. Are you sure you just didn't have an overlap because of today's events?"

"I know my mind, Endymion," I replied, my voice cold. How dare he doubt me? "That was not an overlap. It was part of the memory. Beryl was there."

He stood up as if to leave, and I knew exactly where he would run. The anger that I had been trying to keep at bay, finally flooded over.

"You better not being going to talk to her," I seethed.

"Who else would I talk to, Serenity?" He replied his voice calm. "If she was truly alive back then, then we need to know, and she is the only one who can answer that question."

"And what's to stop her from lying?" I retorted. "Don't you think if she was alive during our time, she would have said something to you by now?"

"Serenity, you need to calm down."

"No, I am done with all this past life nonsense!" I exclaimed standing up too. "It's one thing to find out that there is such a place as Hell, but a whole other thing to find out that I'm the Devil's past love reincarnated. I don't believe it!"

"But you're seeing her memories. You are her." He tried to grab my shoulders but I backed out of his grip. My eyes slanted into slits as I glared at him.

"I know what you're feelings are about this, Endymion. Since that is the only reason you chose me as your 'mistress.' But I am not Serena." I turned to walk away when a few words stopped me.

"But I love you, Serenity."

I turned back around, the scene almost reminiscent of the memory I had just relived. But this time I wasn't falling for his games. I was done.

"Really? Because if you truly loved me, Endymion, you wouldn't have screamed out Serena's name at the end of our love making session earlier." And with that I turned on my heel and walked out of the Devil's room.

…And right into another person.

Author's Notes: Yikes, another cliffhanger? I think so. So what did you guys think about this chapter? Who did Serenity bump into as she was leaving the Devil's rooms? And what do you think of Serenity and Endymion's fight? Was it too intense, too stupid? Let me know in a review and I'll try to update soon!
