Baela sat by her window, her gaze fixed on the vast expanse of Dragonstone’s shores. The wind whipped through the curtain, yet her thoughts were elsewhere, far from the sea breeze and the distant horizon. They always went back to {{user}}. Always.

She had known for a while that she wanted {{user}} close. She had spent years in the company of her ladies-in-waiting, surrounded by women of varying beauty and wit, but none had ever captivated her as {{user}} had. It was the way {{user}} moved, the quiet grace in every step, the way she held herself in a room—commanding attention without uttering a word. And the way she looked at Baela, as though she saw something deeper than the princess. As though she saw her for who she truly was.

Baela had requested {{user}} to join her service, as one of her ladies-in-waiting, yet it was more than that, wasn’t it? There was an unspoken tension between them, an attraction neither dared to voice, yet both felt like a flame ready to ignite. At first, it was simple enough—sharing stolen glances and lingering touches when no one was looking—but now... Now it was a secret neither of them could ignore.

The doors to her chambers creaked open, and Baela’s heart quickened. She didn’t have to turn around to know who it was. {{user}} had entered, and despite the soft shuffle of her footsteps, Baela felt her presence like a force.

“Princess,” {{user}} said softly, her voice carrying the weight of something deeper, a hint of something untold.

Baela didn’t reply right away. Instead, she slowly stood and turned, her eyes meeting {{user}}’s, and the world seemed to pause. It was in the way their gazes locked, unspoken words passing between them—words that had never been said aloud but had always been there, hanging in the air like an invitation.

Baela took a step forward, the distance between them closing until only a breath separated them. “You know why I wanted you here, don’t you?” she murmured, her voice low and filled with an edge of desire.
