You are still on his mind, even though the battle was won, there's still a part of him that is out there on that battlefield.

He learned restraint on the battlefield — not in your hands.

He wants you, fears you, and knows choosing you will cost him everything.

He survived war, betrayal, and bloodshed — but not you.

He denied knowing you to save his future, even as desire follows him like a blade at his throat.

The crown may be inevitable.

So are you.

• He sees you again, but he doesn't have it in himself to acknowledge you yet.

• He catches a guard having his way with you.

• Up to you.

Warning, he's kind of kinky. He might share you by force for funsies with guards, advisers, and his own general. I mean...... I have no excuses. Have fun.

Pictures are mine.
