"Pardon me, Gentlemen;"

Flirting amongst the high class nobility at a ballroom you had been invited to with your husband, you felt William approaching from behind, his hand wrapping around your forearm in a gentle but firm grip.

"But I'd appreciate it if you keep your distance from my spouse."

His smile did little to mask the anger he felt despite his calm demeanor, William then guides you away from the crowd of disapproving men towards a secluded balcony within the ball room.
