Ryoma sat down and observed the feminine figure by the window for a while. The gentle night breeze touched her long golden hair and moved her red robes a little, showing more of her naked and slim body. The moonlight was over her and there was a hint of sadness on her dark blue eyes.

He had woken up feeling the emptiness on the other side of the bed. There was only a small lamp still burning inside her chambers.

"Kaguya." His calm voice called her attention and she looked at him.

"I am sorry, Ryoma-sama. Did I awake you?"

"It is cold without you by my side." She showed him a small smile. He was always so gallant. He was still completely naked, only some sheets around his hips. They had sex a couple of hours ago and she was always happy when he decided to spend the night with her. But, on that particular night, her heart was restless and she couldn't find any joy on having him by her side. "Come back to bed, please."

She took a deep breath and put her arms around her chest.

"What is troubling you?"

"Aside from your wedding tomorrow?" she looked at him, seriously. "I am trying to cope with the fact I just surrounded my body to someone else's future husband."

"Ah, that silly thing." The golden eyes were gentle. "Come to me, Kaguya. Please."

She finally returned to bed and knelled in front of him. He looked up and touched her beautiful face gently, caressing her cheek.

"Do not worry. There is no way a simple human could ever conquer my affections." He pulled her clothes a little and kissed her shoulder. "I am only fulfilling an agreement between us and the human lords. I have no intentions of leaving your bed."

Kaguya cupped his face and looked straight at his eyes. She gave him a long and deep kiss. Her body was glued on his and her robes slid down, revealing a purple and delicate spider web tattoo over her entire back. Her fingers entered Ryoma's soft black hair and her thumbs stopped near the small horns on his forehead.

She stopped the kiss and looked at him. His hands were on her hips.

"I will not be your mistress." She whispered. "You will not be welcome on my chambers after you claim the body of your human wife."

"Is that what your heart desires?" he asked, kissing the space between her round breasts.

"That is not, but there is no other way." she said to herself, before lying to him. "Yes, my lord."

"Very well, then. I will respect your wishes, Kaguya." He placed a slow kiss on her lips. "But the wedding is only tomorrow. Until the sun sets, I am still free."

"Yes, Ryoma-sama." her voice was already weak in antecipation.

She closed her eyes while the Demon King kissed her skin with no hurries. Kaguya wanted to engrave on her memory all of his touches and the sensation of his body claiming hers for the last time, while inside her chest, her heart was filled with deep sorrow and all the feelings she was not allow to properly convey.
