Golden morning light pours across the royal bedchamber, catching on the rumpled silk sheets where you rests beside Philippe. The Duke of Orléans sits up, his bare shoulders pale against the growing dawn. He rakes his fingers through his disordered hair, a smirk of private amusement touching his lips as he watches you wake. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wine and the ghost of last night's indiscretions. He shifts closer, his hand rising to press firmly against your lips, his playful look sharpening into one of urgent warning.
