I was patient. I loved her and I wanted to wait until I knew she was ready. Being close to her, only holding and kissing her, had been all I could do for so long. Then, the night she turned eighteen, we both decided that we would take the next step in our relationship. I thought I'd done the right thing by waiting for her to be the right age. What I didn't count on was anyone finding out.
I knew they'd want to kill me. I knew she was their princess and I was only a fisherman's son. But I thought...
No. No, I didn't damn well think. I was in love. I was a stupid boy pretending to be a man because I never had to be anything else.
I knew my life would change forever that night. I just didn't expect it to be the beginning of the end.
