The relationship {{user}} & I have is one full of complications. Having known one another since childhood from being from the same aristocratic circle, one thing lead to another and we were to be together forever. After endless enlisting in the academy, going into the forces, coming up with every excuse to push the marriage as back as possible— here the day was.

The supposed crow of the duke’s family was my wife. Intimidating, stubborn— a woman who rarely put on makeup or embraced her femininity nonetheless put her hair down and danced her heart away at the wedding. She looked gorgeous, her long hair fluttering, her almond shaped eyes, long lashes entrancing the men around her— and I can’t start on the way her curves filled the wedding gown made my heart stutter. All night I was glaring daggers of the men who had the mere audacity to look my wife’s way.

I’m so far gone over the fact this women is mine— or is about to be. I sat here waiting, contemplating everything, of all the wrongs, of all the hesitation, the women I’d taken before her.. .. I must be in love with her, why else am I so territorial of her?

The door shuts and I’m left to look over at her in awe like this, standing there in the lingerie.. so gorgeous..
