The way the sun's rays were shining in through the open window and onto her naked flesh, had him wishing to explore her body again with sunshine this time instead of by moonlight, as they had only hours prior.

Sleep still claimed her, her body exhausted from their intimate entanglements. He couldn't bring himself to sleep long, knowing she was within his arms. Any chance to be near her was a rarity and he would seize any occasion to be with her.

The plumpness of her parted pink lips tempted him to kiss her again, as he had dozens of times the previous night.

Her long pearl tresses were spread about the dark satin sheets, a stark contrast to her hair and porcelain skin. Silk was the feel of her luxurious strands as he threaded it through his fingers, previously only having imagined doing so.

She was everything he had always wanted, but never allowed himself to have. Both being born into royalty, their lives were already planned out for them. Neither were betrothed to anyone or attached to someone, but their schedules did not permit anything outside of his battle training or her vast cultural studies.

Even now, having this opportunity with her was miraculous. She was a day early to the foreign government event where she would try influencing peace to this planet's people or any other measures short of violence and war. He was attending as a war leader, explaining the difficulties and challenges that accompanied war.

Their lives were almost completely opposite of one another's. His life was surrounded by battle and death. Her life was surrounded by peace and life.

Princess Serenity was the most coveted woman in the surrounding multiverses. Not only did she wield an insurmountable crystal of immeasurable power, but she was also pulchritudinous to every being that laid eyes on her. The Gods surely must have something in mind for creating such a rare beauty.

Because she was the crown princess of Earth's Moon, she became very much acquainted with the Earth's Crowned Prince, Endymion, from years of royal social gatherings to aid the two monarchs into harmonious relations.

They would flirt with each other here and there at negotiation meetings or steal glances at one another at peace conferences, but never had they overstepped the boundaries of propriety. Even though neither of their ruling councils had any objections to outside affairs, mixed racial relationships, or lack of royal or nobility status, the couple wanted to remain private in their rendezvous as to prevent any public involvement or interference.

They both understood each other's predicaments. Soon, his kingdom would wish him to settle down, marry, bear an heir. Coming from a long line of powerful queens overseeing their queendom, she didn't have the pressure he would. She could afford the time to enjoy these escapades with him.

His fingertips trailed her curves before the urge to follow with his lips overcame him. It would undoubtedly wake her. He was conflicted between allowing her to get much needed sleep or ravaging her again before they both needed to be in attendance at the first meeting.

Rousing from slumber lazily, she smiled as last night's happenings continued into her dreams. Serenity had only just woken up to her dream becoming a reality. As if continuing from where she left off in her dream, Endymion was spreading her thighs further apart to gradually pump one finger in her rapidly wettingness before adding another and then another. His tongue began to assist, causing her to suck in a deep breath, followed by a panted moan.

Closing her eyes and tilting her head back deeper into the pillow, she used one hand to rake through his raven locks and the other to squeeze her breast for stimulation, enhancing her sexual arousal with him. This caused Endymion to preen himself on being the only one able and allowed to offer her such gratification. How lucky he was, he thought, that she chose him to spend her first time with. He hoped to be her only, ever.

Having just turned of age, despite being over a hundred years old, Endymion was her first lover. He had taught her so much already in their one night together, but she was a fast learner and it also helped having Aphrodite as your cousin to teach you all the ways of sexual pleasure.

She was going to come and she didn't want to miss out on coming with him before they had to end this tryst. Halting his fingers, she stopped him and he looked at her questioningly. Smiling in return, she sat up to push him over on his back. He was ready, she could gladly see. Moving to straddle him, she pulled her long pearly curtain of wavy hair to trail down her back and tumble around his thighs as she angled him just right.

With slow, deliberate movements, she delicately sank onto him, them both passionately expelling each other's names out in shuddering breaths. His large hands gripped her thighs, her hips, her breasts, her ass—anywhere he could reach to keep in constant contact with her.

In leisure fashion, she leaned back to anchor herself to his thighs, rotating her hips in rhythmic patterns. Her hair tickled his thighs whenever she moved, giving an extra sensation that surprisingly added to the exhilaration he was experiencing.

Pushing up, she leaned forward to rest her hands on his chest, her long silky hair acting like a canopy around him. Looking up at her face, he could see a warm smile for him before her mouth shaped into an 'o' when her hips pulled up and then back down in gentle waves.

As she bounced on him, with more urgency now, he committed her rapture-filled expression to memory. Who knows when they would be able to meet again like this. He would need something to remember these moments with. There would be no other who could compare, none who he would even allow to grace his bed ever again. She ruined anyone else for him and he didn't mind in the slightest.

"Endy, I'm so close. Come with me? Please…"

He sat up, holding her with one hand wrapped around her back and using his other to tether him to the bed. His mouth tasted her collarbone before trailing up the column of her neck and across her jawline. Thrusting into her quicker and harder than she was able to bring about, had them both finding release together.

Serenity collapsed onto him, tightening her hold around him, almost as if she could will him to stay with her forever and never let him go. Sweat lingered on his body from their exertion, delighting her that she could be the reason for his body's reaction to their physical activity.

"Can I leave a reminder of me for you?"

She giggled sweetly as he licked and sucked her neck and chest. "Of course." A moan escaped her parted lips. "And you'll provide me more reminders of you when these disappear?"

"My utmost goal is to have many more meetings like this with you."

Endymion proceeded to leave a love bite on her lower breast and one on her inner thigh.

"You'll have to refrain from wearing some of your… more… translucent dresses, if you wish to keep our little secret."

Laughing outright, she concluded, "Why does it seem as though that was your original intention?"

"As if any type of material could hide your delicious body from anyone." She could feel his smile on her inner thigh. "Though I would rather no other view anymore of you. They don't need anymore images to add to their fantasies." He began to tease her bundle of nerves again. "I wouldn't mind everyone finding out about us…" His head popped up to view her pools of Earth's sky blue eyes. "If you would so allow."

Caressing his cheek, she smiled softly before asking, "Allow us to have this for ourselves a while longer? I don't like sharing."

"Love, letting others know that I am taken, hinders them from trying to obtain me."

Her melodious laugh rang out around them. "Dearest, it would only make them want you more. You want what you can't have."

Smirking, he revealed, "You, Seren, were my forbidden fruit."

Pulling him in for a chaste kiss, she admitted to him, "I am all yours, Endymion. Only yours—mind, body, soul."

Furthering the kiss had them falling to the bed again.

A chime rang out, signaling a warning bell for breakfast to start in an hour.

Serenity held onto him tighter. "I don't want this to end."

"Neither do I." His hot breath fanned her neck before he followed it with a nip.

"Can I visit you on Earth or you come to the Moon?"

Endymion thought about his schedule, his generals, her senshi. "Will your senshi be okay with us?"

Understanding his meaning, she took a minute to think it over. Venus already knew of her infatuation with the Earth Prince. She allowed Serenity to come a day early just for this rendezvous. It was considered Serenity's birthday gift from her. Venus was probably shacked up with Kunzite in another suite. Her other senshi weren't aware of her feelings for Endymion, but she really only needed one of them to escort her to Earth. Serenity would have to plan around Venus's schedule, in addition to her own and Endymion's.

"Venus will help me."

"Good, I can coordinate with Kunzite." He pulled her closer, tighter.

A single tear fell down her cheek. He heard her sniffle and hitched breath.

Pulling back, he viewed her sadness. Kissing the tear away, he asked, "Please don't cry, my love." He then kissed her lips softly. "We will be together again soon, I promise."

She nodded, resting her forehead on his.

"I have to go before—"

Knocking was heard, and then Venus's voice. "It's time, Princess."

Hugging him one last time, she admitted, "I'll miss you."

"And I you."

Pulling away from her very reluctantly, he stood up to dress before Venus opened the door.

As Venus did, she witnessed him lean over the bed and kiss her sitting Princess hard on the lips.

"Until next time, my love." He departed Serenity with and gave Venus an appreciative head nod before slipping past her and out Serenity's chamber door.

"Thank you, Mina." Serenity sniffled. "I am so grateful for your precious gift."

Venus frowned at her cousin's distress, moving to her to scoop her up in an embrace. "Oh, Sere, don't fret; you'll see him again."

Another chime sounded, alerting the ladies that they were running out of time to ready themselves.

"Come on, Sere. Let me help you get ready for the day and later we can discuss a visit to Earth, okay?"

Serenity's face became so animated and happy. "How I adore you, cousin! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She hugged her guardian with so much love and gratitude.

"Yes, yes, I love you, too. But we really must hurry. You take forever to get ready!"

Laughing, Serenity quickly ran to take a quick bath.

Venus was just happy she could make her Princess smile again.
