Blueeyeddevil06 thank you for being my beta!

Endymion strode down the halls. He knew whatever was waiting for him in his room would piss him off. He opened the door and said, "Happy Birthday to me." The woman chained to his bed looked up at him, startled. She then shrunk back as if she were trying to make herself invisible.

He shut the door, locked it, and shook his head. "My father's a monster." He found the lock pick he kept and walked towards her as she shrunk back. "If I unlock your chains, are you going to kill me?" She shook her head. "I'll unlock them, but don't run. It's not safe out there." He then unlocked her wrists and removed the chains.

He looked at her. She was barely dressed and incredibly sexy. At least his father had good taste in women. "He chose you for me as a Birthday gift. He thinks I want a slave girl I can treat however I want. He's wrong. You're safe as long as you can pretend I'm sleeping with you."

She looked up at him nervously. "You won't force me?"

"I won't."

She climbed onto his bed and looked at him wide eyed. "What is it that you want me to do?"

"Sleep in the bed next to me. No one will know the truth. I'll knick my thigh with a dagger to put blood on the sheets tonight."

"You're really the Crowned Prince, and you're this kind? Your father would-"

"Rape you? Yes." He nodded. "I know he invaded your country, but I had no part in that."

"He conquered my country and killed the Queen. He then slaughtered everyone he could find that had any power."

"He's dying. This is his last attempt to be remembered before he does. The doctor says he doesn't have long to live. The man who rode the king's horse and the crown into battle wasn't him. He's too sick."

She laid back. "What if I gave myself to you?"

He looked at her, startled. She was wearing a very small covering on each breast and underwear that was very low on her hips. Her breasts were enormous and plump. Her hips were rounded, and her legs were so long. "You want to give yourself to me?" He wasn't against having her if she came willingly.

"Yes." She spread her legs. "I can submit to you. You're right, my country is destroyed. I need protection, would you give that to me?"

He ran his hand over her creamy skin. "You can't be serious." His hand made it to one breast and felt how plump it was. He wanted to just shut up and fuck her.

"I am." There had been a reason she had been hidden away. She may be the princess, but she had always been a bit wild. Now, she was in a room with the sexiest man she'd ever seen, and she had nothing to lose, besides her virginity.

"What's your name?"

"What do you want it to be?"

He shook his head. "It won't be like that." He pulled her towards him, kissed down her neck, over her collarbone, and down to her breasts. "I want you willing and to be yourself." He then pulled down the fabric on her right breast and took her nipple into his mouth. He smiled when he heard her moan.

"Serena, my name is Serena. Please, don't stop. That feels amazing." She brought her hand to his head to encourage him to keep his mouth there.

"Has a man touched you before?"

She shook her head, "Never."

He gave her a heated look. "That seems hard to believe. You're this sexy, and you haven't been touched?"

He pressed her back until she laid on his bed. "My mother kept the men away from me."

He pulled off her top and then her underwear. "She must have had to work very hard at that. I would go to a lot of trouble to get my hands on you."

"And yet, here I am, offering myself to you." She spread her legs further for him and gave him a sultry look.

He stripped off his clothes and climbed on the bed. "You're sure about this? I will give you my protection as long as you're in my bed. And, since you're mine, if any man touches you, he dies."

"I'm sure."

He pushed his cock into her and felt her barrier tear. "You really are a virgin."

"Was a virgin. And, yes I really was."

He shook his head. "You're so damn sexy." He then slowly started thrusting into her. She moaned and arched her back in pleasure. He worked her up with his hands on her breasts and passionate kisses as he took her. He then lost himself in pleasure and drove himself into her, bringing them both to orgasm. She screamed out in pleasure.

He laid there until he got his breath back, and then he cleaned them up. He looked down at her body and said. "I think this is going to work out very well for both of us."

She gave him a sated smile. "Yes it is."

For the next two months, he felt like a whole different man. She had a way of listening to him and talking to him that made him feel really heard. He loved listening to her and hearing her opinions. She was incredibly smart and so kind. And then there were the times she would smile at him, and then he'd be dragging her out of the room and finding someplace private where he could bury himself inside of her. He couldn't get enough of her. Everyone knew that his mistress was not to be bothered or demeaned. He kept her very well protected. She kept him very well satisfied.

It was the end of that second month when his father died, and the whole country went into a fake mourning. Well, that was how he felt about it. He immediately began reversing many of his father's policies, and he noticed everyone wearing black and smiling. He didn't blame them. His father was put to rest with all the fanfare a King should receive.

That night as she lay in his bed, Serena smiled at him. "You're already a better King than your father."

"Thank you. You always say what you think, don't you?"

"You mean I don't pretend like everyone else does that they are sad he is dead? I have always spoken my mind around you, why stop now?"

He caressed her face and smiled at her. "I like that about you. I would like it if you were honest with me too though."

She shook her head. "I'm as honest as I can be around you, Endymion."

"I could order you to tell me the truth."

"You won't." She smiled at him and climbed on top of him. "Plus, I know just how to distract you, my love." She grew pale and froze, straddling him while he was laying in bed. She then leapt up off of him and picked up a nightgown, put it and a robe on, and left the room.

He then dressed and went after her. He found her in the rose garden. He shook his head, he knew she gravitated towards it when she was upset. He didn't think she realized that yet. He found her and pulled her close, "Why did you run?"

"I was embarrassed. Please, don't be mad at me for saying that. Our deal is still on, right?"

He shook his head, "Don't run next time, my little bunny. I love you too. Marry me."

She scoffed. "You can't marry your mistress."

"I'm the King, of course I can." He kissed her with love and tenderness. "Plus, everyone likes you. I don't think I'll meet any resistance.

She smiled at him. "I'll marry you."

He took her to their room and made love to her that night.

Endymion woke incredibly happy. He had his arms around Serena, and she loved him back. Everything was good. That was until he was close to announcing their marriage that day to his council. He was in a council meeting when one of his best advisors spoke up. "I recommend you arrange a marriage between you and Serenity."

"The princess of the conquered Luna? She's alive?"

"Word is they got her out before your father could have her killed. We are close to an uprising there right now. I didn't agree with your father taking their kingdom, but that's done. Now, we need to protect our people who are there. The best way to do that is for you to marry their princess."

"I was about to announce my engagement to Serena!"

The man sighed. "Serena is incredible and would make a wonderful Queen. Under any other circumstances I'd be thrilled, but this is for your country and to save lives. She can remain your mistress." He fidgeted. "She would still have your protection and our respect."

Endymion ran his hands through his hair. "Find this princess. Maybe we can work something else out. I will do everything I can to marry Serena, but let's see what we're dealing with first. She might already be married in hiding."

They all bowed and left the room. No one looked happy with the idea that he might have to marry the princess, but they all knew it might be the only thing he could do.

He walked to his bedroom and slammed the door. He needed some time to himself and to get out his anger. He picked up a vase and threw it against the wall. He then turned and saw a very startled looking Serena staring at him. "Sorry, I didn't think you'd be in here."

"Sit and tell me what's wrong." She then began to massage his shoulders.

"The Princess of Luna survived."

"That's bad?" She asked lightly.

He shook his head, "No, not in and of itself. They are heading towards an uprising against us, and I need to pacify the people there. I have too many of my men there, and I don't want to risk their lives. The council unhappily suggested I marry her."

"Unhappily?"

"They want me to be free to marry you. I'm trying to come up with a way to not have to marry her and keep her former citizens from going to war."

She kept massaging his shoulders and neck. "They want me to marry you? Your mistress?"

"They all really like you. That shouldn't surprise you."

She sat in his lap and kissed him. "What if I have a solution where you can marry the princess and be with me."

"I don't want to do that to you! I know you could be my mistress, but I would have to sleep with her to have an heir." He shuddered. "I only want you."

"Dear, sweet Endymion." She kissed his nose. "I'm going to have to tell you the truth now. My name isn't really Serena."

"What is it?"

"Serenity."

His eyes shot wide. "What!?"

"I'm Princess Serenity. Where better to hide than under the King's nose? I didn't expect him to chain me up as a gift for you."

He lifted her up as he stood and swung her around in circles. "You're the princess?!"

She giggled. "Yes."

His eyes burned with lust. "You don't act like a princess."

"I'm not actually a princess anymore, am I? I didn't have to act like something I wasn't. You control the country that was once mine."

He kissed her like a man starved and then said, "I'm so glad. You have no idea!" He then stepped back, took her hand, and walked them out of the room. As he did, he ordered his councillors to be assembled in the throne room.

When everyone gathered, he hadn't released Serenity's hand. He then said, "I will marry the Princess Serenity and make her my Queen."

He chuckled as he watched all of his councilors frown and sadly nod their heads. He could tell they were disappointed in that. He smirked and said, "If you were hiding from my father, the man who killed your family and allies, where would you hide?"

"Where he couldn't find me." One announced.

Another said, "In a cabin in the woods, far away!"

Serenity smiled, "Those both sound good. But, I would hide under his nose in his own palace." She then stepped away from Endymion and bowed to him. "Princess Serenity, at your mercy, my King."

A gasp went up from everyone assembled. Then the room fell absolutely silent until someone started cheering. Everyone then started cheering along, and Endymon swept Serenity into his arms and kissed her.
