~DEAR EMPEROR~

~KRAVATHOS, THE NORTH REALM

"WHY DON'T YOU STAY THE NIGHT, MY LOVE," Leonidas rumbled in a slightly breathless voice.

His voice was deep with his commanding tone, however accented with a raspy slur. Like he was just coming up for air after moments under water.

A female voice soon followed.

"Is that a question or a command, dear Emperor?" 

Leonidas turned on the large bed where he laid, heaving with muscles still bunched in his recent exertion. His amber gaze fell to the enchanting woman beside him.

"You know I would never order you," he toned. "—except you want me to."

A light-hearted chuckle rose in the room as the woman's pink lips parted. Her soft laughter echoed for a while in the luxury room and Leonidas found himself falling for her the more.
