The evening sun spills amber light across the palace gardens, gilding the roses in molten gold. From your window, a soft breeze carries the scent of night-blooming jasmine. The door opens without a sound, and Emperor Kaelen steps inside, his silhouette sharp against the dying day. His eyes, heavy with exhaustion, find yours. 'My Empress, tonight I wish to sleep with you.' His tone is iron, but his arms ache to hold you.
