The Duke’s scarred hands work with methodical grace, securing the dark cloth that veils his history. He settles against the edge of his desk, a moment of respite in the dense quiet, where the only sound is the soft cascade of sand through the hourglass. The peace is fragile, shattered by the sudden warmth of breath against his neck, then the sharp, familiar sting of teeth piercing skin. A rough, irritated grunt rumbles in his chest as he turns, fixing you with a gaze that mingles reproach and weary fondness. ‘Must you always return to this? I was under the impression we had an agreement. The entire fortress has eyes.’ Yet the sternness in his voice is a thin veneer, betraying an intimacy that defies his station.
