England, 1492. . .

           KATERINA PETROVA WINCED AS ZAKIYAH TIGHTENED THE LAST RIBBON OF HER CORSET. The Bulgarian native was standing in front of her vanity, staring at the English woman who was busying herself along with two other maids to get her ready for the ball tonight.

        "My greatest apologies," Zakiyah whispered, her eyes meeting Katerina's in the mirror briefly before she found interest in Katerina's lower back again. The brunette bit her lip, wishing to speak with the Black beauty alone. "May I speak with Zakiyah alone, please?"

         The other maids gave Zakiyah a confused look to which she responded with a shrug. She had to play her part well as she wished not for Katerina to be hurt. The two maids nodded and walked out of the room leaving them alone.

       Zakiyah stepped back from Katerina and gave her an amused look. Katerina giggled at the brunette beauty and reached for her hands.

"Please tell me that you are to be of attendance tonight?"

        Katerina pouted, eyes pleading for her lover to be present. Zakiyah smiled, the brightness of it warming Katerina's heart. She interlocked their fingers together, and Zakiyah took it as an opportunity to gently squeeze their hands while maintaining Katerina's lustful stare.

          "That I will. I shan't have thou be of thirst and fatigue now can I?" The humor in her voice made Katerina deflate slightly. "Wishful thinking is it not for thy to be present as my date rather than a maid?"

     "Very much so, yes," Zakiyah nodded, as she saw Katerina's eyes dim. Zakiyah removed her hands from Katerina's hold to cup the Bulgarian's cheeks. "Though, it would be something magical."

    "Then let us create the magic between us now," perplexed, Zakiyah raised a brow just as Katerina placed one hand around Zakiyah's waist while the other reached for her hand to link their fingers. Katerina then began to sway back and forth as Zakiyah placed her free hand around Katerina's neck.

     "Katerina!" She gasped just as she dipped the English beauty. She pulled her back up so that their noses were touching. Zakiyah was breathless while Katerina was giggling mischievously. "You are to get us caught!"

"We shan't be caught if you do not make a sound."

      Katerina gently placed her lips on Zakiyah's, both their eyes fluttering shut. Zakiyah held onto the back of Katerina's neck while she untangled her hand from Katerina's to cup Katerina's breast.
