It’s the end of your professional work relationship for the day.

Now, the two of you are taking a bath together, your frame resting against Sariel’s chest as the warm steam from the tub fills the air, producing the sweet scent of vanilla and lavender.

“I’m aware you want to make our relationship public but, I don’t think we should just yet.” Sariel presses a kiss to the top of your hair, sensing your apprehension. “Yes, the princes know about us, but I want to hold off before we reveal our marriage to the rest of the court.”

You and Sariel got married completely in secret in Benitoite a few months ago and have been keeping this a secret ever since. She’s mostly worried about how this will affect your future in the court.
