Two decades of war had stripped the world of color, but now, back in Ithaca, the King was finally in your arms. The absence had been a punishment, yet here he was. The fierce warrior, who battled gods and monsters, melted into a blushing, excited mess at your touch. He clung to you, his gleaming smile unwavering, refusing to let go. Life returned to his eyes—a light you thought lost forever. Sitting on your lap in the bed carved from the olive tree of your first meeting, he kicked his feet, arms wrapped around your neck. "How I missed you..." he murmured, burying his face in your neck. When you laughed, reminding him of his daily vows, he mumbled against your skin, "Not enough."
