I step silently into the gym to see her standing there, the woman I love.  She slowly goes through her warm up routine, mentally preparing for the workout ahead.  I can't help but admire her long, slender legs.  My eyes roam upward and I take a couple moments to admire her breasts before focusing on her face.  I must admit that I approve of her workout attire, a form fitting pair of shorts and sports bra, both a wonderful orange that complitments her blonde hair.

She has the most memorizing blue eyes I've ever seen, every time I see them I swear that they sparkle brighter than the time before.  I sofly clear my throat, announcing my presence.  She pivots on the balls of her feet, breaking into a smile as she runs up to me.

She leaps into my embrace and our lips meet in a heated, passoniate kiss.  Slowly we pull our interlocked lips apart and I smile, whispering, "I guess I was missed?"

Mina pokes me lightly in my ribs, "You bet your sword I've missed you."

I go to let go, but she takes my hands and pull my arms back around her waist, "Weren't you the one who was worried about your parents finding out about us?"

She leans in next to my ear, "Yes, but they're both away on the Moon at a diplomatic function, and even if they weren't who would want to interrupt my morning work out?"

I smile as I respond, "That may be, but what makes you think you're getting away with out a work out?"

She backs away frowning and I just glaze into her blue eyes, "Just because I'm back after being away for two weeks doesn't mean you get to slack off.  You still have your responsibilities as a Senshi, a guardian of the Silver Millenium."

She nods.  I knew she'd understand, even though there is nothing I would rather do than hold her in my arms at the moment, her training comes first.  I gesture towards the bars and rings that hang from the ceiling, "You're one of the best gymnists in the Millenium and your agility is one of your greatest strengths.  The basic of this one is that you have to keep up with me up there, and to give you a hand I'll be wearing weighted clothing."

She glares at me, clearly upset, "You came down here with this planned didn't you?"

I merely nod in response as she sticks out her tounge at me.  I chuckle softly, "You should keep that tounge in your mouth until you're ready to use it.  Now lets go."

I don't wait for her reply as I leap up grabbing a ring and start maneuvering through the intricate maze of rings and bars around me.  I keep the pace slow at first, giving Mina's muscles a little extra time to warm up.  I gradually increase the pace until I'm pushing Mina to the limit of her body.

I smile as I go, it's time to pick up the profiency.  I grip a nearby bar and spin myself backwards, sailing a good twenty feet before hooking a ring with my foot and grabbing a nearby bar.  I stop to watch Mina try the same maneuver and miss the target.

She screams as she drops towards the ground, I can only imangine what she's thinking as she falls.  I drop from my perch, grabbing another ring and her hand, stopping her only a couple inches from the ground.  I watch her chest heave from the experience and I set her down, dropping to the floor myself.

She falls into my embrace.  I can feel her chest heave as she catches her breathe and I wait until she's calm before speaking, "Good try.  You can't always make every jump and you need to learn when too much is too much."

She nods, "I know.  I just didn't want to disappoint you."

I sigh, lightly kissing her forehead, "Hey you did good.  Now go shower up and meet me outside the palace, tonight.  I've got a treat for you."

She smiles cheerfully, quickly kissing me before running off to get ready.  I stand there smiling as I head for my own guest quarters to prepare for the day ahead.

I stand outside the palace gates, two horses saddled up beside me and watch as she comes running out of the palace.  She heads straight for me, but stops when she notices that there are guards watching us.  I smile and merely climbed onto my horse and take off, she follows close behind me.

After an hour of riding I pull my horse to halt and glance at the crystal blue lake that lies before us and smile, this will be perfect.  As far as the guards are concerned Princess Venus is on a survival expedition with me.  She isn't expected back until sometime tomorrow.

I turn and smile towards her as she alights from her horse and quickly, nearly a runnning, approaches me, throwing her arms around me.  I fall on my back from the force of blow and land on the smooth grass to find myself looking up into her beautiful blue eyes.

I gently kiss her lips whispering, "Better save some energy my darling.  The night is young and we haven't even begun."

We sit up on the lake shore in the cool, damp grass and Mina moves back into my embrace, our lips meeting with a fire.  The kiss is soft, yet passionate and warm.  Fire burns in my heart as I wrap my arms around her slender waist.

Finally we break apart for air and I smile, out faces only inches apart.  I whisper gently, "Maybe we should eat."

She nods her head, grabbing the basket, "Yeah, I suppose that we should since you went through the trouble of making it."

She turns around and sits in my lap opening the basket, slowly removing its contents.  The cool ham and cheese sandwiches come first, followed by the grapes and carrot sticks.  Finally out came the champagne, some of the best in the solar system.

She smiles and holds a carrot stick up to me and I slowly take a bite, gazing into her blue eyes.  As I prepare for another bite I playfully snap my teeth at her hand and she pull it back, giggling softly.  I continue with the playful flirting through the entire meal and she stays in my lap with my arms around her.  She feeds me the food with her tender, gently hands.  Meanwhile I merely eat and whisper in her ear.

Finally we're both full and she turns her beautiful face to me and I smile as she  leans up towards my lips and whispers, "Now it's time for my desert."

Our lips meet and she gently pushes me back until I'm laying down.  The kiss breaks and I gently start to nibble at her ear and place light kisses down her neck.  As I reach the nape of her neck she softly moans and arches her neck back.  I realize how far this may go and I need to make sure it's what she wants.

I pull up and my forehead meets hers and I peer into her blue eyes.  She knows just as well as I do and I can tell she'll have no regrets.  Still I need to hear her agree before I take it any further, "Mina, are you sure this is what you want?"

I feel her head nod and she smiles, whispering so I can barely hear her, "Yes, Jeremy, just be gentle."

I nod, "Always, my love."

I kiss her gently, yet passionatly and our tounges waltz together.  Slowly her hands tenderly play across my shirt as she lifts it over my head.  I slowly break away from her lips and slowly kiss her neck again, soft pecks now dotting the delicate skin.

I pause and spend a few minutes gently kissing the nape of her neck and my hands slowly pull the straps of her dress to just below the elbows.  She sits up and the straps fall off of her arms and she pulls the dress off, over her head.

For the first time I see the soft mounds of flesh that are her breasts.  She leans back down to lay on top of me, our bare chests meeting.  The feel of her erect nipples send tingles of electricity down my spine and out my toes.

We kiss again, while our hands run up and down the others' back.  While our tounges dance my hand moves up and gently caresses her breast.  They're soft to my touch and as I gently squeeze them Mina breaks our kiss and smiles coyly.

I pull her back down and gently my lips move their way downward, laying a light kiss on her breast.  I glance up, seeing her smile looking down at me.  Slowly I move back to the breast and softly plant kisses on it until finally I kiss the nipple.

A soft moan of pleasure escapes her lips and I turn my attention to the soft, darkly covered pebble.  Slowly I kiss, suck, and nibble on it until finally Mina pulls me away.  I look up and from the look in her eye, I know it's time.

We kiss and gently roll over.  Mina's hands roam downward and she removes my pants as I remove her panties.  I smile at her and keep my eyes locked with hers and whiper, "I love you," as I slowly enter her.

As I gently push I feel the barrier and watch as Mina's face takes on a look of pain.  My smile fades and she looks up at me, reassuring me.  I nod and gently, slowly push past Mina's virginal barrier.

I look up at the stars, my arm holding Mina's nude body close to me under the blanket.  I feel a hand slowly trace my chest up the middle, pausing to gently circle the area over my heart.  I look down at the just waking blue eyes and smile, "I didn't mean to wake you."

She just smiles, "I know, but it's ok.  Earlier was wonderful.  Thank you."

I smile as she gently kisses my cheek, "No need to thank me.  Last nigh was beautiful and I'll never forget it."

"Nor will I my loving Knight."

I catch a gleam out of the corner of my eye but ignore it.  Tomorrow will be another day.

"So how do we explain being gone all night?"

I kiss the top of Mina's blonde head, "Don't worry about it.  For now let's just enjoy the night and after sunrise we can worry."

Mina sighs and leans her head against my chest we slipped, together, into dreamland.
