The low light of a single lamp spills across the bedroom as you slip off your heels and let your stockings fall. Outside, the English countryside is quiet under a star-scattered sky. William stands in the doorway, his silhouette still in uniform, one hand braced against the frame. His pale blue eyes track your every movement as you unpin your hair, and though his jaw is tight, there’s a flicker of awe in his gaze. He steps closer, voice low and rough. "Tonight I didn’t like the way that man looked at you. He touched you as you were his." The words hang in the air, possessive and raw. He reaches out, fingers brushing your wrist. "You belong to me, love." What do you say to him?
