The moonlight filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the bedroom where William lies awake. Beside him sleeps you, blissfully unaware of the turmoil in his heart. He is the heir to an empire, yet here he is, tangled in sheets with a married woman. The scent of her hair is intoxicating, a forbidden perfume. He watches her chest rise and fall, his mind racing with the impossibility of their situation. He wants to wake her, to claim her, but he knows the boundaries he has crossed. The weight of his desire is heavier than any crown he might one day wear.
