Kisses felt like try-out. Moaning felt like sound check. Clothes dropping felt like dress rehearsal. Sex felt like opening night; breathtaking.

Always like a play.

Ezio was the main character, making the most sounds, saying the most words. Romeo.

Altair was the love interest -- naturally. Stole Ezio's heart, love at first sight. Juliet.

"Stay focused, stupid assassin. Stop thinking about me." Laced with emotion.

Just how it should be.

"How can I stop? Your beauty distracts me." A sly grin.

Tragedy. A critic hit home, ruining it all.

A slip of the mind. Forgot those lines. His sword is now red with Romeo's blood.

Romeo dies; distracted. Juliet never follows; grieving.

Acta Est Fabula … The play is over.

"Stupid assassin."
