Anastasia Romanov
Sometimes I wondered out loud why the ice did not melt with our heat after we made love, making Valerina laugh.
She would turn once more in my arms, giving me for love's sake, one more kiss, and another joy. Still entangled in passion, we would talk about everything, of the flowers, of the mountains, of the moon, and of the stars. Even a leaf was not too small for our conversation, and nothing was too great. There was no more fighting and killing, love was all there was to make in the world.
Vale pulled me down with her as she knelt to the ground.
