Summary
“Did you miss me, highness?”
“Yes,” he says. It is an admission that gives them both pause. “Have you been well?”
Turning to him fully, she, with a caution Emile has taught her, says, “I am better now that I am here.”
Marius closes the distance between them. This close, Adonia must tip her face up to hold to his gaze. He tucks the dark locks of her hair behind her ears, cradling at her jaw to see her better: the gentle upturn of her nose and the dusting of freckles across its bridge; the deeper ring around the umber of her eyes; the pinking of her cheeks and parting of her lips.
He murmurs, “You should not say such things to me.”
✧
or: marius, the fifth-born vanserra, is in an illicit affair with adonia vanserra—herself the mate of emile, the second-born vanserra. their rendezvous lasts overlong, and emile comes searching for his wayward wife.

Summary
Glass shatters to his right. The noise is bright—sharp. It echoes down the too-quiet hall.
He looks over in time to watch the shards of his empty bottle in their descent, but by the time they clatter to the floor, they are dull again. There is only his heartbeat and his breathing and his father’s voice inside of him, irrevocably.
Then, a lilting voice: “Lord Emile?”
It takes him a moment to blink her whole, but a swaying silhouette is all he needs to recognize her. Her scent is so thick with father that there is no questioning whose bed she has just left—though Emile knows that she has risen high enough in his esteem now that she has been set aside for his exclusive use. No other may touch her lest they wish to forfeit their own life.
What must it be like to be cherished so?
✧
or: emile vanserra breaks something his father cherishes, then seeks his most hated brother to help him clean the mess of her up.

Summary
"It is you who I wish to please."
Pale and lovely, her lashes flutter. Then, just as quickly, her expression steels over. "Yet you bedded her," she replies, shifting her arms that his hand must fall away. "Is it a matter of fickle desire, do you suppose? Or merely an insufficient hand?"
Head atilt, gaze dropping to the hands she has hidden away, Carmine says, "Ah—I hadn't realized I was contending with one so nonpareil."
✧
or: carmine, the third-born vanserra, finally manages to soften kirsi, his betrothed, to him, just a little.

Summary
The thrall Kirsi has selected is humble of face.
Not of Winter make. Dawn, perhaps, though something about her features suggests the dabbling across a court or two somewhere along her line. She stands nervously before the pair of them, head bowed but eyes alert. Unused to the services of a bed slave, else quailing before their station.
Carmine could ease her with a single word, a well-placed touch, and once he would have done so without a thought for it—but his lady was clear.
You are not to touch her.
✧
or: carmine, the third-born vanserra, and kirsi, his lady wife, engage in a fraught threesome with a female.
