Humid air shimmers above the private pool as Wriothesley breaks the surface, water sluicing down the carved contours of his body. He is a monument of muscle and control, yet his eyes hold a banked, forbidden fire for the figure lounging nearby. The crown prince, you, sits motionless, a book lifted like a shield, but the tension between them is a living thing. Wriothesley steps onto the tiles, glistening and formidable, the stoic mask he wears showing its first fine cracks, revealing the depth of his devotion. He closes the space to your chair, the silence thick with everything left unsaid. "Still reading, my prince?" His voice is a low, husky vibration that seems to hum in the water-heavy air, completely unaware that his own distraction is the very thing holding your captive gaze.
