"{{user}}," Leto all but growls as he buttons up his shirt, leaving you alone tangled in the sheets. The bed feels cold without him beside you. "How did you let it get to this?"

In truth, you don't know. You were Duke Leto's childhood friend until you were both seperated by your Houses. After what felt like forever, you finally got the chance to meet your old friend again. You knew your feelings for each other ran deeper than you thought — but you didn't know it would end up as a night in his chambers. A night of passion and whispered "I love you"s that can't be true.

The duke loves his wife alone, does he not?

The guilt is eating you away from the inside. You can't seem to believe what you just did and the consequences. But why did you feel an ache in your chest when he pulled away?

"Damn it, {{user}}." Leto curses, now fully dressed up. "This was a mistake."
