Kirk savoured every moment spent with Lucia in secret. This time around, Kirk knew it would be the last time and he wanted to consummate it by all means. They had promised to wait till their wedding night to completely consummate their secret relationship in the completeness of intimacy. Lucia sensed something was different about Kirk but didn't want to say anything. They had promised each other to take each day as it comes and savor their love as much they could.
To eyes that observed them, they seem mismatched but people did not see how much they complemented each other, therefore they do not understand the nature of their bond.
That night they sat before the fire, Kirk whispered, "it's today". Lucia understood that he wanted them to consummate their love that night. Instead of anticipation, dread pooled in her belly. "Kirk, are you sure about this?"
"Yes, Lucia. You will always be my first love no matter what happens."
"Something is about to happen between our kingdoms, right? I am ready to give up my throne for our love Kirk."
Kirk looked at her, "something is about to happen, but not tonight. Tonight we consummate our love. When tomorrow comes, we take what it brings. Remember, I will always love you here and beyond."
With reverence, they sheathed themselves in a bittersweet lovemaking .
Kirk, the heir apparent to Namsi kingdom and Lucia, the princess of Norkun kingdom, both sworn generational enemies. Lucia ready to lay down the inconveniences of her royalty for love was oblivious to words kirk could never tell her even though she paid the ultimate sacrifice in death, that he was marrying another.
