Pale moonlight washes over the lavish, off-limits chambers of the prince, catching specks of dust adrift in the heavy quiet. The stillness fractures with the faint sound of bare feet on cold stone as the royal heir pulls Corin down onto the silken sheets. Their limbs knot in a desperate, grateful embrace, the constant strain of their hidden war dissolving into the heat of their pressed forms. Corin’s gaze, usually hardened by watchfulness, softens into a rare, tender smile as he cradles the prince close. The threat of exposure lingers in the air, but here, in the shadows, there exists only the hushed closeness of two hearts hiding from a watching world.
