In all the daylight that Mars offered, Serenity hadn't seen him the entire time she was there. Granted she heard the Princess Rei of this planet mention something about Jadeite being detained in the Andromeda galaxy for one reason or another, so she assumed Endymion was accompanying him in their travels.
Sighing heavily, she turned to rest her arms on the smooth stone surrounding the mildly molten water. Despite the normally dusty air, the view of the night sky was clear, displaying a gaseous viewscape of space, surrounded by scintillating stars and streaking comets. It was a rather romantic setting and she was becoming lonely, having no one to share it with.
Well, that wasn't entirely true. She was sure she could have found someone to share it with, but not who she truly wanted and desired to do so with.
Smirking, she thought back to earlier in the day when she wandered about pretty freely and openly among the guests attending the Martian Princess's birthday celebration. Serenity could do so by glamouring her appearance, giving the illusion she was a brunette and possibly a distant relative to the birthday girl, one of her best friends.
While disguised as someone else, not many guests paid much attention to her. She was still by typical standards classified as "beautiful," but not exotic or celestial or "goddess-esque" like she would hear so much as she adventured through the distant solar systems.
There was one man who she passed the time with, flirting shyly with, hoping to maybe be caught by Endymion and perhaps getting a rise out of him. Alas, he wasn't in attendance and so the teasing with the man was for naught.
She sighed again and dunked her pearl-blonde head under the steaming water.
Emerging to the surface, she waded through the water to cross over to the stone steps leading out of the hot spring. When she went to reach for her towel, a large, tanned hand presented it to her.
"Would an offering of the universe's finest chocolate help excuse my tardiness?"
His voice was a sexual timbre that could easily cause panties to drop. Maybe she was just sexually frustrated.
Whether her cheeks were crimson due to the temperature of the water or his presence, neither knew, but it made her even more radiant. "I thought I was already promised chocolates of the galaxy?"
Twinkling sapphire eyes and a devilish grin met her momentarily shocked gaze. "You indeed were, but if it weren't for Jadeite needing to obtain the rarest jewel for a certain fiery princess, I wouldn't have been able to snag these confections from Mirach."
In his other hand he held up a shimmering golden sack that she presumed held the asseverated extraordinary exquisiteness.
Playing his game, she returned with a smirk, "What leads you to believe that I haven't been to Mirach and had these chocolates before?" Serenity kittenishly snubbed him by turning her head. "What if I, too, wished for a rare jewel instead?"
"Says the woman who could have anything in the galaxy. I would be astounded if you didn't already have it, though you don't strike me as materialistic." He looked at her as though he knew all of her cherished secrets. "You seem the type to seek adventure and experience in lieu of… treasures. Besides, who's to presume I didn't also acquire one for the coveted moon deity?"
She looked over her bare shoulder at him, her eyes glistening in merriment and gratitude.
The vision she made had him dazed — her beauty was simply insurmountable. Every time he gazed upon her, he was left breathless.
"Unbelievable that anyone could stand up the most gorgeous goddess of any universe and on such a lovely evening as this."
Turning fully back to him with the brightest smile, she countered, "Would you believe an Earthling had the audacity to do so?"
"What a barbaric buffoon he must be!" The laughter that he bellowed out caused her to become bold. She teasingly sashayed her way up the stairs and out of the water, revealing her state of undress to him.
Endymion watched with widened eyes at her approach to him. As her nipples pebbled, centered perfectly on her flawlessly round orbs that he imagined would fit amazingly in his wide and expanded grasp. Her sinful hips swayed titillatingly towards him, displaying a honey trove at the apex of her long, endless legs.
He gulped, the collection of saliva piling up in his mouth, threatening to drool out. She was rendering him into a prepubescent teenager. Not necessarily a womanizer, per se… though Endymion had a great deal of expertise when it came to women.
Only this woman was every man's wet dream. The only men who ever had the pleasure of touching her, so he heard, were not of this galaxy. She turned of age in another solar system where she was studying their laws and customs for her broad upbringing to be the supreme ruler and Queen someday of this galaxy. What lucky bastards they were. He was terrified of losing a chance with her.
The frigid air temperature was a drastic change to the heated water she had been relaxing in for over an hour. But as soon as her naked body touched his clothed ones, she became scorched.
Pressing her body deliciously into his, she wove her arms around his neck, threading her fingers through his silken strands at his nape.
He was in heaven. His arms immediately went around her waist, his hands resting on her upper back to keep her close and her lower hip.
"Come join me. His loss is your gain."
Holding her was pure bliss. Feeling her fingers rake through his obsidian locks spread wondrous tremors throughout his body.
"Anything for you."
Sparkling blue eyes danced between his, seeing the truth in his words, stunning her briefly.
"H-how about a taste of those chocolates?"
Noticing the change in topic, he smoothly brought the hand that held the golden bag up between them. Opening the bag, he pulled out one of the chocolates and unwrapped the foiled sweetness.
"It's promised to cause an orgasm in your mouth." Endymion held the chocolate at her mouth, willing her to open it so he could place it directly on her tongue. He wasn't sure if she would be willing to mimic their previous chocolate act.
"Already making bold promises, are we?" Opening her mouth and slipping her tongue out, she allowed him to place the decadent treat there gently.
Almost immediately when the chocolate touched her tongue, it began to melt, giving a pleasurable taste. She moaned instantly and reached for his face, similarly to how she had before when they shared the ooey gooey goodness.
When he opened his mouth to take in her offered tongue, the chocolate was swirled around his tongue thanks to hers and crunchy sugary pieces crackled in their mouths, adding to the textured euphoric sensation.
Both of them continued to moan as the chocolate disappeared and their mouths delved deeper and became exploratory.
As air was needed, she pulled away, slowly. The corner of his mouth held remnants of her cocoa kiss. Swiping her manicured finger over his lips to wipe the chocolate from him, she brought the finger to her mouth to suck it clean.
Just as he had before, his grip tightened on her hips, keeping her in place.
Serenity, understanding that this man may be someone she would be interested in pursuing a deeper relationship with, was hesitant before she asked him, "What if… what if I wanted more?"
Swallowing, he looked at her, really at her, hopeful. Keeping it safe and assuming she was speaking about the chocolate, he explained, "There are boxes upon boxes of chocolates being delivered to your quarters as we speak."
Shaking her head, she admitted, "That's not what I mean."
His eyes twinkled again, waiting for her to continue, not daring to speak what his heart yearned to hear.
"Be with me? Here. Right now."
He nodded his head and she brought him down for another searing kiss.
Breaking apart, he admitted honestly, "I would give you anything you desire." His fingers caressed her face, studying her features and committing her to memory.
"Why me?" She couldn't help but question.
Trailing her bottom lip with his finger, he confessed teasingly, "Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, immeasurably powerful, high-ranking in status, and cosmically all-knowing…"
She giggled at his spurious answer, knowing he was not a superficial individual like others who sought her out.
"Your kind heart is what captured… all of me. Even with the truth I mentioned before about you, you are still humbled, caring to all life races, helpful to those in need, a champion of justice, artistically creative, athletically agile, a strong fighter, a lover of romanticism…"
With each descriptive phrase, she blushed with shyness.
Her rosy cheeks made his heart soar. "I could keep going…"
She shook her head, discontinuing any further praises from him.
Sliding her hands to his front, she unfastened his gambeson and brushed it off his shoulders. When his mind finally caught up to what she was doing, he began to aid her. Not wanting to seem too eager, though they both knew the truth, he casually slipped away his clothing. When he untied his trousers and pushed them down, his engorged member sprang forth and tapped her lower abdomen. Even with the frigid air, his erection stayed turgid and ready, impressing her greatly.
Turning, she reached for his hand to pull him into the water with her. He obeyed and followed diligently.
He hissed slightly as his body adjusted to the change in temperatures. It felt wonderful to be warmed in more ways than one.
Once in the water, Serenity turned again and kissed him sweetly this time.
Soon though, it led to her climbing him, wanting to fuse herself with him.
Deliriously thrilled, yet wanting to make sure the chocolate didn't drug them with an aphrodisiac, he verified her consent. "Are you sure you want to do this, Seren… and with me?"
Blinking, she cleared her lust-crazed mind. "Do…do you not want to?" Did she read him wrong?
Squeezing her tighter to him, rubbing his highly evident arousal over her folds, causing a choked whimper out of her, he answered, "Oh, Gods yes, I want to do this with you!" Her head fell back, craning her graceful neck. "I just want to make sure this is what you want… here and with me…" He began to nibble, lick, suck from her jawline to her collarbone.
Holding his head to her, she provided, "Yes, I want you, Endymion. Here, there, everywhere. You. Only you."
Serenity angled herself to align perfectly with him, plunging down on him. It caused him to bite her neck a little harder than he intended, but it was a pleasurable pain.
Her sweet little cry mixed with his low, rough grunt. Waves were created as she bounced on top of him, digging her nails into his shoulders. He molded her ass in his hands as he assisted her.
Tilting her head up, she locked eyes with him, wanting to witness the various stages of pleasures cross his face from their joining.
The sliding of her breasts over his wet sculpted chest and the angle they were in, allowing her bundle of nerves to rub against his body with every move, and the perfect fill of him inside of her, had her coming undone much sooner than she anticipated.
Endymion knew she would come soon, her shortened breaths and the tightening of her walls, the satisfied mewls — so he pounded into her harder and faster so he could come with her.
"Oh, Endy…!"
Riding out their release together, Serenity held him close and gently tugged at his hair that she puffed out exhales into. Endymion stroked her back, gliding up and down in slow movements.
Not ready to let go yet, it was his turn to ask in pants of breath, "Why–why me?"
She pulled away to look at him. Brushing his bangs from his eyes, the water helped slick his hair back. "You were brave enough to speak to me."
"I've seen others approach you, chase after you—"
"They were after me for the wrong reasons."
He smirked. "As a trophy wife, for your crown and or your power?"
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she agreed, "Precisely."
"Aside from being extremely handsome, a strong warrior, a skillful leader, and having a high-ranking status…"
Endymion laughed at her mimicking of his words. Serenity smiled genuinely at his response.
"The others I've been with were inexperienced novices…" A darkened hue colored her cheeks. "And…I wanted someone who knew how to pleasure a woman."
A smug smile graced his features as he pulled her closer to kiss her face, peppering it tenderly. "You think so highly of me?"
Somehow her face brightened like a ripe tomato. "I'd heard rumors… now I can say there is truth to those rumors."
His chuckles sent tingles down her spine and into her lower belly.
"Have you had your fill of me then, dearest Serenity?"
"Not even close." She gave him a hard kiss before slowing to linger at his lips, using her tongue to glide over his.
"Ahem. Excuse me, Your Highnesses. My sincerest apologies for the interruption."
Both royals turned to look at the newcomer. A blushing young maid held her head down as she curtseyed before them.
She was one of Princess Rei's handmaidens. Giving her a sad smile, Serenity already knew why the young lady was there. "Celina. Has Luna arrived to collect me?"
"Yes, princess." Celina kept her head bowed. "Princess Rei asked me to make sure Luna didn't see you… in an act of indecent escapades…"
Smirking briefly at her best friend's concerning thoughts of her while undeniably partaking in her own illicit activities. "How considerate of my dear friend." Squeezing Endymion tighter, Serenity responded, "Very well. Let her know I'll be there soon."
"As you wish." Her dress swished in a twirl when she turned to see to her task.
A faint, "Thank you," was heard by Celina as she walked away.
"I'm sorry for being late to you this evening. We could have had all day together if Jadeite and I weren't detained during our travels." Endymion brought one hand to frame her face as his other held her lower back, ushering her closer to him. He frowned at her, showing her his mirrored sadness.
"It's okay." With a soft smile, she kissed his nose. "It'll be awhile before I have some free time again." She kissed his lips. "What are you doing at the end of June?"
"Your birthday weekend?" His eyes opened, catching the look on her widened ones.
"You know when my birthday is?"
"It's not like it's a secret."
"No, but it's not as if anyone pays any attention to it."
Him tracing the moon symbol on her forehead gave her delightful tingles. "I do."
Biting her lip, she inquired, "Why are you so perfect?"
That made his smile broaden. "I'm far from, but when I'm interested in something or someone, I do my research and learn everything I can." He nibbled her earlobe, being careful of her earrings.
An unrestrained whimper escaped.
"As much as I want to continue this with you, I wouldn't want Luna to get a negative impression of me." He released her ear with a sigh. "I'll meet you whenever and wherever you like."
"For my birthday, Mina is throwing a passion party on Venus at Pleasure Island. Be my honorary guest?"
"Kunzite spoke of such parties." Endymion ran his hands leisurely up the sides of her body, causing a shiver to run through her, despite the triple digit temperature of the water. "I'm honored you'd want me there with you."
She cupped his face in her small hands. "Only you, Endymion."
Reaching for her hands, he kissed both of her and palms. "Then I guess this means, until Venus, Seren."
After one last kiss, she pulled away from him. "Until Venus, Endymion."
