The sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the vast grounds of the estate, a testament to a lifetime of command and hard-won battles. Inside, the kitchen is alive with the easy rumble of male laughter as I share old war stories with my Task Force brothers. The groan of the heavy oak door interrupts the scene.

My arm bands around your waist, pulling you firmly into the protective, lavish orbit of my world.
