Blueeyeddevil06, thank you for being my awesome beta and friend.

MasterRay5 (Ao3) New Prompt: After Stars, Mamoru is having difficulty reclaiming his life after being dead, and Usagi is uncertain of their future after defeating Galaxia. CUT TO: the two of them helping at Usagi's Aunt's Apple Farm. Usagi in Daisy Dukes and a tied shirt and Mamoru shirtless in ripped jeans. The view torments each other all day. They slip away to the barn, SEX, and then realize whatever the future holds, they'll face it together.

Note: If you have PTSD, get help. It only proves you're strong enough to face your problems. Unlike in this story, you can't sex-away the problem. This story isn't meant to be accurate, just fun.

Darien watched Serena stretch and pick an apple. She then took a bite and licked the juices off her lips. He wanted to taste her. She was so sexy in her short shorts and the white tied-off t-shirt. It showed off her flat stomach. He watched a bead of sweat drip down her stomach and wanted desperately to lick it off of her. He wanted to lay her out and discover the hidden treasures she had underneath her clothes. He wanted to touch and taste her and bring her pleasure.

Defeating Galaxia, his death had left him adrift. Logically, he knew the real term for it - PTSD. He just never thought he'd be one of those stubborn people who would refuse psychological help. He always thought they were idiots. Then he was faced with the fact that getting help would reveal his identity.

So here he was helping Serena's Aunt on her apple farm day after day, side by side with the woman he loved, and he couldn't find the words to talk to her about his feelings. Something in him just felt stuck, and it all came back to his PTSD.

He huffed out and headed towards the barn. On his way, he removed his shirt. It was blazing hot that day, and it was already drenched with sweat. He wanted to hose off to cool down a bit before he got back to work.

Serena watched him go in his ripped jeans and his now bare back. She wondered if he had even an ounce of fat on him. He looked like he was chiseled out of marble. His body was magnificent.

She followed after him at a distance and watched him hose himself down. She whimpered in the back of her throat, and her panties got wet. Working next to him was absolute torture. She wanted him.

Still, she was observant enough to know he hadn't handled his death well. Who would? She knew he was struggling, and as much as she wanted to throw herself at him, she held back. She knew he couldn't be pushed into anything right now. He wasn't ready. That didn't make the wanting in her any less intense. It nearly overwhelmed her.

Darien turned off the hose and noticed Serena was watching him. The raw desire he saw in her eyes floored him. It was like it clicked something in place for him finally. This wasn't all about him. She had needs, too, and he would be damned if he left them unmet any longer. She was his destiny, after all.

"Serena, come here," he said and smiled when she immediately listened to him. He then caressed her cheek when she got close to him. "Sorry, I've been a mess."

"No, you've been human. There isn't any shame in that."

"No, but it's a shame I haven't come to you about it."

She shrugged, "I knew you would when you were ready."

"I died. I died, and it didn't stick. That messed with my head. But I realized something just now."

"What's that?"

"You mess with my head too." He then pulled her close and kissed her passionately.

He smirked when he realized the water from his chest got her white shirt wet. "You're so sexy."

"So are you. You have no idea how much I want to…." She blushed to her roots when she realized what she was about to say.

"I think I really want to hear the end of that thought," Darien whispered huskily in her ear.

"It's embarrassing." she insisted.

"Now I know I want to hear it."

She stared at his chin when she said, "I want to lick you… your um… body and caress your muscles."

He let out a low throaty growl, and his hands slid down to her ass. He pressed her to him and looked in her eyes, "I want you, Serena. I want to put my issues aside for now and possess you."

She smiled up at him and said, "Please, make love to me, Darien. It's been so long."

"Yes, it has."

He stepped back, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the barn. He wasn't ready to be a patient man. He had been staring at her hot body all week, and the simmering desire in him had come to be a roaring fire. He was painfully hard, and all he could concentrate on was getting her naked and thrusting inside of her.

They kissed and tore at each other's clothes. They were equally frantic to come together. He laid her down in the hay and felt between her silken folds. "Good, you're wet. I don't have it in me to go slow right now."

"I don't have it either. Get inside of me already, or I'll scream!"

He thrust deep inside of her, and he grunted out in satisfaction. "This is where I belong. Right here inside of you."

"Yes!" She screamed out, agreeing as he began taking her with frantic thrusts. He was wild for her, and he couldn't hold back. He grabbed her shoulders so he could thrust into her harder and her fingernails dug into his ass to encourage him on.

"Fuck, I needed this!" He roared out. "You're so damn perfect. Sorry, I'm tainting you."

"Your issues don't make you unclean." She moaned out loud then. "Trust me."

"With everything in me."

He then whispered in her ear as he drove himself into her perfect body and said, "You are my everything."

Serena couldn't respond. She was arching her back as she started screaming out in complete pleasure. She was building up to her orgasm, and her words had become incoherent. Darien recognized the sign and smirked. He was glad he was making it feel so good. His orgasm built, and he shattered into her. His triggered hers, and she screamed out his name in ecstasy.

He laid next to her and rolled his head to look at her. "Wow."

She gave him an exhausted smile, "No kidding. That was perfect."

"I'm sorry I've been distant, Serena. You don't deserve-"

"Hush," she interrupted. "I love you. You need to stop putting so much pressure on yourself."

"But I want to get over this!"

She rolled her eyes at him, "So get help."

"I can't without giving up my identity. Can you… I just need you right now, and I'm afraid to ask. You don't need me to burden you."

"You'll never be a burden, Darien. I've been here with you the whole time. I'm not going anywhere."

He smiled at her and pulled her to his chest. "You're right, and I'm sorry. I should have seen that you've always been here for me." He breathed out a sigh of relief. "Together. We'll face this together. I feel like I can do anything with you by my side. I love you."

"I love you too."
