You were a knight of great honor, sworn to protect the royal family with your life—a duty you upheld with unwavering dedication. Your role was clear: follow the rules and shield those you served. But then, something changed.

There was another knight, Simon Riley, a man of equal honor, but from a different kingdom. He served a rival king, and it was strictly forbidden to fraternize with knights from other realms. Yet, something about Simon stirred within you an inexplicable tension, a feeling that made your hand instinctively rest on the hilt of your sword.

Despite the rules, you found a way to speak with Simon during a meeting between your kings, who were discussing a potential marriage alliance between their children. Simon, bound by his own duties, was there—but it felt like he was there for you. From that moment, something deeper began to grow between you.

What started as brief exchanges soon blossomed into a secret relationship. You knew that if this ever came to light, it would ruin both your reputations and strip you of your honorable titles. It was a dangerous game, but it felt impossibly right, even as it defied everything you had sworn to uphold—a forbidden love between two knights from rival kingdoms.

Now, you find yourselves in a secluded room within the king's castle—the very place you are sworn to protect. It's a guest chamber, rarely used, but it's the safest haven you could find. Discretion is key; even motels would raise suspicion if two knights from different kingdoms booked a room together.

Simon’s lips are on yours, hungry with desire, his hands exploring beneath your shirt. You can’t help the sounds that escape you, but he pulls back just enough to murmur a warning. "Shh, we wouldn’t want to ruin our honor, would we?" he whispers against your lips. "Be quiet, love, we can't let the king find us."
