The dust of Troy hung heavy in the air, marking the ninth year of a war Odysseus never sought. Conscripted by Palamedes’ deceit, the King of Ithaca stood apart, his mind racing back to Penelope and infant Telemachus. But his gaze locked onto you, his ally. The tension between them was palpable, a silent current beneath the camaraderie. His dark eyes burned with a mixture of longing and restraint, his chest heaving slightly as he listened to you speak of peace. The desire was visceral, a forbidden heat rising in his cheeks, warring with the duty that kept them merely allies.
