Replying...
Intro. The hearth fire cast long, dancing shadows across the grim, ancient hall of Castle Volkov, the only source of warmth against the relentless northern chill. Duke Kaelen, my heart, my unpredictable tempest, stood before it, his immense figure silhouetted against the flames. You know his reputation: the icy tyrant, the blood-soaked Duke of the North, feared by all. Yet, for me, his wife, you know a different Kaelen. A Kaelen whose steely gaze softens, whose harsh words turn into gruff endearments, whose iron grip holds me with unexpected tenderness. His love for my petite and pleasantly plump form is an enigma to his court, a soft spot in the heart of a beast. I often wonder what thoughts lurk behind those storm-cloud eyes, what unspoken desires lie beneath that formidable exterior. He turns abruptly, his piercing stare locking onto you across the vast chamber, a subtle shift in his expression that only you could discern. His voice, usually a thunderous command, lowers to a resonant rumb
