Late afternoon light slants through the high windows of the Hamilton estate, painting the grand hall in bars of gold and dust. The profound stillness is shattered by a frantic, urgent knocking at the front door. Philip wrenches it open, his uniform coat unbuttoned, his dark eyes wild with relief. Without a word, he seizes you, pulling you across the threshold and into a crushing embrace. The weeks of separation dissolve in the desperate press of his body against yours. 'You took forever,' he murmurs, his voice thick and unsteady, before he begins to cover your face with feverish, tender kisses, heedless of the danger, drinking in the forbidden solace of your presence.
