When Kratos woke up one late May morning, he hadn't expected his wife to immediately cup his face and kiss him hard. He wrapped his arms around her and practically melted against her lips as she smiled into his own. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and intertwined with his while she wrapped her arms around him. The couple regrettably had to part for air a few moments later and Anna giggled softly at her husband's surprised reaction to her good morning kiss.
“Good morning, my dear.” Kratos greeted before giving her a small smirk. “And what did I do to deserve that kiss just now? Is this in thanks for satisfying you last night?”
Anna snuggled up against his bare chest and giggled again. “Well, only partially, honey. I mean, you always satisfy me anytime we've been intimate… But that kiss was because today is a special day!”
He kissed the top of her head. “I see… And how is today special, my dear?”
“Well… Before you woke up I got up to read the newspaper that's delivered to our suite every morning.” She replied after giving his chest a quick peck. “And I read that today is Kiss Day! It's to commemorate the first kiss scene written in a novel a few thousand years ago.”
Kratos chuckled softly after giving her forehead a kiss. “I see, my dear, then should we just stay in bed all day and kiss?”
Anna shook her head and pressed her hands against his chest. “No, honey, I still want you to take me to the beach, and possibly to the amusement park, too. I just want you to kiss me all day, no matter where we go today.”
“Hmm… I think I can agree to that, my dear.” He gave her a gentle smile before giving her a soft kiss.
After the couple parted moments later, they both got out of bed and got dressed and ready for the day. The couple then left their suite and took the elevator down to the lobby, where they had breakfast at the inn’s gourmet restaurant. Once the two were finished with breakfast, they left the inn, stopping just outside the front door to share a chaste kiss.
“Where do you want to go first, my dear?” Kratos asked after they parted, taking her hand in his and giving her a soft smile.
“Let's go to the beach first, honey.” Anna replied, returning his smile with one of her own. “I'd also like to stop by the beach again on our way back to the inn to watch the sunset tonight.”
“Sounds good, my dear.” He said as the two began to walk toward the beach, still holding hands. “The beach shouldn't be too crowded this time of the year. Tourist season in Altamira typically doesn't start for another two or three weeks.”
She looked up at her husband and nodded with a gentle smile. The couple then continued on walking towards the beach. Once they reached the beach, the couple walked back and forth along the sand, holding hands and discussing where they wanted to travel to next. After about an hour of walking back and forth along the beach, the couple decided to find the nearest bench and sit for a bit.
“Ah, I'm really glad the beach isn't too crowded, honey.” Anna commented as she laid her head down on her husband's shoulder.
“Me too, my dear.” Kratos agreed as he laid his head on hers and took her hand in his.
She lifted her head up and turned her head toward him with an expectant look on her face. He turned to look at her briefly before leaning in and kissing her softly, his free hand reaching up to cup and caress her cheek. Her hand reached up and cupped his cheek as she deepened the kiss. Their tongues intertwined again as the couple lost themselves in their increasingly passionate kiss. When they had to part for air moments later, the couple returned to their previous positions of leaning their heads against each other.
“What's your opinion of Altamira so far, my dear?” Kratos inquired a few moments later, shifting his gaze from the ocean to his wife.
Anna squeezed his hand softly and snuggled up against his shoulder. “Well, I'm enjoying my stay here so far, honey. Though I've never been to a city with such tall buildings before. Palmacosta had the tallest buildings I've ever seen up until now. The buildings here have got to be at least five to maybe ten times taller than the ones in Palmacosta.”
He turned his head to plant a kiss on top of her head and softly chuckled. “Hmm… I think you might be right about that, my dear.”
The couple then spent the next hour quietly watching the gentle ocean waves and all of the people walking along the beach as they sat on the bench. They then walked over to the amusement park as the time neared towards noon. After riding the spinning tea cups a few times, sharing a chaste kiss at the end of each ride, the couple decided to ride the roller coaster a few times before heading over to the concession stand to grab some lunch.
“That was so much fun, honey!” Anna exclaimed excitedly a short while later after finishing the rest of the ham and cheese croquette she had been eating. “I've never been to an amusement park, let alone been on any rides, so I'd say this has been the highlight of my day so far.”
Kratos nodded in agreement with her as he continued to slowly eat his own ham and cheese croquette. “I'm glad, my dear. I think the last time I rode this roller coaster was with Lloyd. And I believe we rode the ferris wheel together, too. Would you like to ride the ferris wheel next?”
She looked up at her husband and grinned excitedly. “Of course I would, honey! I read something one time about that ride being a favorite for couples, since it stops at the top so they can share a romantic kiss as they look out over the city.”
“And you would be right about that, too, my dear.” He chuckled softly before finishing the rest of his croquette.
The couple then spent the rest of the afternoon riding the ferris wheel multiple times, and they shared a passionate kiss when their carriage reached the top each time. On their last ride on the ferris wheel, as their carriage stopped at the top, Anna turned toward Kratos and suddenly grabbed the collar of his navy colored T-shirt. She then gently pulled him down and kissed him hard, nearly crawling onto his lap as their kiss became more heated. He held her in place with his hands on her hips while her hands reached up to cup his face.
“No one can see us right now, honey.” Anna murmured against his lips before slipping her tongue into his mouth.
Kratos groaned softly in response as his tongue intertwined with hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her almost flush against him. She was now practically sitting in his lap and straddling his waist as her lips moved roughly against his. When their carriage began to move again moments later, Anna quickly crawled off of Kratos’ lap and sat down next to him again.
The couple took a few moments to catch their breath as the ferris wheel rotated one last time around. Anna laid her head down on her husband's shoulder while Kratos took her hand in his. When the ride came to a complete stop and they were able to exit their carriage, they stepped out onto the platform next to their carriage and walked down a few steps to exit the ride.
“Where would you like to go for dinner, my dear?” Kratos asked as he and Anna walked toward the exit of the amusement park while holding hands.
“Let's go back to the inn and have dinner at the restaurant there, honey.” Anna replied as she looked up at him and grinned.
He nodded before leaning down and giving her a quick, chaste kiss. “Then let's go, my dear.”
The couple then walked back to the inn, where they had a lovely and quiet dinner at the gourmet restaurant where they had breakfast earlier in the day. After dinner, the couple headed outside and towards the beach again to watch the sunset. Once they reached the beach, Anna smoothed out the back of the skirt on her pale blue colored sundress before she sat down in the soft sand. Kratos smoothed out the back of his navy colored slacks before he sat down next to her. Anna laid her head down against his shoulder again and let out a contented sigh while he wrapped an arm around her. He kissed the top of her head and let his lips linger for a moment before he laid his head against hers. They then spent the next hour or so watching the ocean waves and the sun as it began to set on the horizon.
“I don't know if I've ever seen a more beautiful sunset, honey.” Anna softly commented as she lifted her head up and looked at her husband. “I'm happy we're the only two people on the beach right now, too.”
Kratos leaned in and kissed her forehead before sighing contentedly. “Me too, my dear.”
She looked up into his eyes and gave him an expectant look. “Kiss me, Kratos…”
He gave her a gentle smile and leaned in closer to her. “Gladly, my dear.”
Then he softly kissed her and she reached up with a hand and gently grabbed the collar of his shirt. Her other hand sunk into the sand as she leaned in and deepened the kiss. He wrapped his other arm loosely around her waist as their lips continued to gently move against each other. When the couple had to part for air moments later, Kratos touched his forehead to hers and gave her a soft smile.
The sun had now completely disappeared below the horizon, and the red and purple hues in the sky had begun to fade to blue and navy hues. Anna turned to her husband after they both stood up and brushed the sand off of their clothes, taking his hand in hers.
“It looks like it's getting late, honey.” She said as she briefly looked up at the sky before looking back at her husband. “Let's head back to the inn.”
Kratos nodded and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. Then the couple walked back to the inn while holding hands and took the elevator up to the floor where their suite was located. Once they arrived back at their suite, they both quickly got ready for bed. Anna sat down at the edge of the bed and waited for her husband to finish getting ready for bed.
“I thought you'd be in bed already, my dear.” Kratos commented as he walked towards the bed after exiting the bathroom.
“Not until I get a good night kiss from you, honey!” Anna beamed as she patted part of the comforter next to her.
He shook his head and softly chuckled before giving her a gentle smirk. “Of course, my dear.”
Kratos sat down next to his wife at the edge of the bed and wrapped his arm around her waist.
“I had so much fun today, honey!” She commented excitedly as she turned to look up at him. “I hope you had fun, too! And I hope that either tomorrow or over the next few days we can explore more of Altamira.”
“I did have fun today, my dear.” He said after kissing her forehead. “And tomorrow I think I want to show you around the business district. I'm hoping I can introduce you to one of my former travel companions, provided that he's in town, that is.”
“I'd like that, honey!” Anna grinned as she leaned in closer to him. “I guess we should go to bed soon then…”
“Yes, my dear, we should…” Kratos said as he leaned in closer, his free hand reaching up to cup and caress her cheek.
“I love you, Kratos…” Anna said breathlessly as she looked up at him expectantly, her hands reaching up to gently press against his bare chest.
“I love you too, Anna…” He said as he gave her another gentle smile.
Then Kratos softly kissed her, and Anna couldn't think of a better ending to a special day full of kisses. The couple would then fall asleep in each other's arms a short while later, and they would sleep peacefully and uninterrupted through the night.
