I’m tired of fighting, and I wish I never accepted her father’s offer to marry her. I knew then it was forthe betterment of our clan, but now, I wish I waited. I wish my hands were not tied with this one.
Had I known the unmatched passion, erotic joining, and the pleasure I would find sinking into your body…
There would have been no marriage had things been different. I would have happily lived my life with just you, and been completely content.
I care not that your family is beneath mine. I care only that you are beneath me.
But what am I to do?
I can’t send her away.
She is with child.
Sending her back to her clan would bring embarrassment to her and my child. It would also bring anger from her father. Who knows what he would do in that case? I don’t want her hurt. After all, my son is in her.
Now, she curses me.
She curses my blood.
She hexes the home I had built for her.
She hates me to the depths of Hell and back.
Well, she knows not Hell.
For I am in it. I live it with each breath I take.
I love someone else, and wish only to return to my castle, built to protect me, and retire with my one true love. Is that so much to ask?
I am weary from battle, and I have very little fight left. All I know is that I must protect my son and home.
And I will at all costs.
If circumstances change, you shall forever be allowed to be with me.
With you, I found love, peace, and safety. There is no one else I trust more than you. You’ve proved that you are loyal and mine.
Bear with me.
That is all I ask.
I must think about the options, and maybe I can hide you in plain sight. Maybe I can keep you with me, and no one would be any the wiser.
Who would question me?
Can I ask this of you?
Can I beg you to play this game, until I can handle the situation at home?
I love you, and I need you.
Now, meet me tonight. My body burns for yours, and I must have you. It’s all I think of when I see you. Those moments of passion and love are all I have.
You are my one and only.
I swear on my clan.
Forever,
