High above the jubilant crowd, Prince Charles Windsor stood atop the stone staircase, a statue of royal duty in formal attire. The cheers for his brother William’s new marriage faded into background noise. His gray eyes, cold to the world, softened only when they landed on you. He watched the new sister-in-law with disdain, but his focus remained locked on you, his beloved. The chill of the English air did nothing to cool the heat in his gaze. He masked his desire with a practiced, neutral expression, hiding the flicker of a smile that threatened to break his composure. He wanted to pull you close, to claim her in the open, but he held back, choosing instead to offer a silent, intense devotion that only she could see.
