Story # 19 from Sailor DKC. In this month of May, I celebrate my
birthday on the 25th by writing a story about the couple Jupiter and
Nephlite. I'm so excited at writing this much so far, and I hope to
continue doing so. So, happy birthday to me! ^_^

The picture of the couple I got inspired from is from the site
Generals Love under the name of the artist, Guardian of Jupiter.  She
also has a site under the same name which features written stories of
Jupiter and Nephlite.  I suggest to those fans of this couple to go
the site and read for yourself. It truly is beautiful and the stories
are fantastic!

It's rated PG for a slightly heavy romantic scene.  When you see 
this *, I am describing the picture in the story. I don't own Sailor
Moon. Naoko Takeuchi does.  A word of advice: WHEN YOU"RE READY FOR
INTIMACY, BE RESPONSIBLE!  Have fun reading!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any mention of the artist in my fic is just part of 
the story and purely fictional. The following is not:
Dedicated to Guardian of Jupiter. What a beautiful romantic picture!

PEACE!



LET'S READ IT!
By Sailor DKC


"Come on! Come on!"
"Lita, what's the hurry?"
"It's something I want to show you, Neil (Nephrite)!"  She pulled him
while they ran across the streets, nearly knocked down some people,
and almost tripped over some curbs.  Finally, they came to a stop in
front of a cozy and quaint little bookshop on a corner.  Pushing the
door open causing the bell to jingle, Lita and Neil walked in.
"OK, OK, we're here!" Neil let go of her hand, playfully.  "Now, 
what's this thing you want to show me?"

Giggling, she crooked her finger at him to follow her into the 
romance section.   "I want you to see something so amazing!"
"Romance books?" Neil said, following her.  Looking at the shelves
laden with books with passionate love scenes of romantic couples.
Groaning, he slumped a bit.  "Lita, I love you, and I'm doing my best
to be one of your romantic heroes, but don't you think-"
"Look, here it is!" Lita pointed to one particular book in the NEW
RELEASES section. Neil looked, then took a double take. Straightening
up, he whispered loudly, "By the stars!"

* The title read "Jupiter and Nephrite", and the picture showed the
starring couple in a passionate embrace against the background of a 
couple of large roses.  Nephrite had his arms wrapped around 
Jupiter's waist as she lovingly caressed his cheek, her bare leg 
slung over his hip.  With love only for each other, they gazed into
each other's eyes. *

"It's us," Lita quietly said as she reached out to touch her 
character's face on the hard cover.  "Although I don't think I really
look like that."
"It is you!" Neil said as he touched his character's face. "It's me
who doesn't look like that."
"Oh, come on! That's your mirror image!" Lita insisted.
He gave her a look, showing that he was slyly flattered. "So...I look
that good?"
Folding her hands behind her back and blushing a little, she timidly
said, "Well yeah."
Coming a little closer, he slowly caressed the side of her face with
his fingers.  "Well?" she suddenly asked.
"Well what?"
"Do you find me that pretty on the cover?"
Nodding, he cupped the same side of her face with the same hand.
"Yeah," he whispered. "I do."
Eyes closing, they were about to kiss when they heard an interrupting
sound.  "Ahem!"

Springing apart from each other, they both faced a sales clerk.  "May
I help you?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah!" Neil reached out to get the book.  "We like to, um, buy
this, please."
"No problem. Cash or credit?"
"Credit."
While the clerk typed up the merchandise, Lita asked, "Is this author
new?"
"Why yes," replied the clerk. "But no one know her real name. She
just goes by Guardian of Jupiter.  Anyway, her book is already
hitting the topseller's list."
"Really? That's interesting." Neil said, taking the package and 
receiving back his card.  They both left the shop and headed for 
Lita's apartment.

"Do you think this book might describe us in some way?" Lita asked,
as they reached her front door.  Taking her keys, she opened her
door.
"Well, there's only one way to find out," Neil replied, following
Lita into her apartment and shutting the door.  Taking the book out
of the bag, he held it up.  "Let's read it!"
They sat on the sofa and looked at the cover first.  "Her dress has
such a lovely shade of light green that matches my ponytail bob,"
Lita commented. "The pink trimmings around the dress match the rose
background.  How pretty!"
"Yeah," Neil agreed.  "As for me, they only got my character dressed
in a dark gray Earth General's uniform.  Hey, my hair's tied back!"
"It looks nice." Looking at him as he looked at the cover, she ran a
hand through his hair.  He smiled at the book as he felt her pulling
back his hair as held in a tie with her hand.  He turned his head to
face her as she still held his hair back.  "You look nice," she said.

Licking his lips, Neil said, "You know what I like about this cover?"
"What do yo- Oh!" Lita felt herself being pulled by the waist and
found herself straddled on Neil's lap, facing him. The book was 
tossed to one side.
"I like the way your character has her bare leg slung over my 
character's hip."  Caressing her bare legs with his hands, he stared
at her intensely with desire. "I wonder what she was thinking when
she's in that position."  He kept caressing up to the limit of her
short skirt.
"Only one way to find out," she whispered, leaning forward as if to
kiss him.  Then she slid off his lap, reached over for the book,
opened it, and turned to the first chapter.  "Let's read it!"
Neil shrugged and got comfortable to read with Lita.

They were into the sixth chapter.  "Wow!" exclaimed Lita.  "I didn't
realize how dedicated Jupiter was to her duty as a Sailor Soldier. 
It's one of the reasons why she kept resisting him.  She feared he
might distract her from protecting the Moon Princess."
"She also feared he's just using her to make a girl jealous.  This
other girl sounds like Serena's friend, Molly," Neil said.  "Anyway,
I don't really believe he's using her.  I know I would never do that
to you."
Lita smiled sweetly at him, and they resumed reading.

It took them all day and into the early night when they finally 
finished the book.  As Lita put the book aside, she folded her hands
on her lap. "You were right about Nephrite not using Jupiter at all.
In fact, he wanted to get close to her by making her think the other
girl was his girlfriend!"
"Imagine how shocked he was when Jupiter told him that she also had
feelings for him. Then he suddenly-" Neil stopped short as he turned
red.  Lita also blushed.  The love scene they read was very erotic
and romantic.  How his hands caressed her lovingly and causing her to
moan in ecstasy.  The way her arms wrapped around him with such 
passion that he groaned helplessly.  Words of love, assurance and
adoration made the readers unbearably warm.

Neil finally spoke up. "Although I don't remember everything about my
past as Nephrite, one thing I know for sure.  I never felt so 
complete when I'm with you."
"Me, too," Lita agreed. "You're everything to me and more. I bet even
Jupiter will agree to that."
Placing his arms around her waist, he cuddled her closer to him as
she wrapped her arms around his neck.  They kissed timidly at first,
small adorable brushes. Then slowly, the kisses turned passionate.
Lita moaned as she felt him caress her whole neck with his lips and
tongue and teeth. Neil stifled a grunt as he felt her nibbling and
pulling on his ear, erotically.  "From the book?" he whispered 
hoarsely.
"Mm-hmm!" Then she gave a gasp as he bodily twisted both of them
until she was lying on the sofa with him on top of her. Still 
kissing, he caressed her leg as he took hold of it to drape across
his hip.  Feeling him, Lita suddenly broke off the kiss, whispering,
"Neil, do you have-"
"I have it." Neil fumbled in his pocket and held out a squared foil
package.  They resumed kissing.

Later, Lita, wearing only Neil's shirt, leaned behind him as he typed
on her computer.  Wearing only his pants, he tried not to be 
distracted as she lightly caressed his bare chest with her fingers.
They found the author's e-mail address by the topseller's book list
website.  They wrote to the author and complimented on her novel and
asked if there were any plans for a second one.
Neil left his e-mail open to receive any answering mail, then he and
Lita linked hands, took the book and headed for the bedroom, smiling
lovingly at each other.
The next day, they received an answer back from the author:

Thanks for the compliments. At the moment, no 
plans for a second novel, but please visit my 
website for more stories on Jupiter and Nephrite.
Hope you like them!

						Guardian of Jupiter

"She left us her website address," noted Lita. "where there are more
stories."
"More stories, huh?" Neil gave her a knowing look and smiled. "Then
there's only one thing to do."
She smiled back at him.
"Let's read it!" they said at the same time.
