This one probably deserves a T rating. Nothing graphic, perhaps just lime at the most. Any comments and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.


Breathless: He had seen a quite a few breathtaking scenes in his life, but none have yet taken his breath the way she did as she entered the temple, her bridal finery easily outshined by the pure joy and love on her face.

.

Scream: There were sounds that he wished he'd never heard and wished to never hear again, but those she made were not one of these.

Whisper: Her name on his lips could make her weak-kneed in an instant and the courtiers had learned to look the other way when the Emperor had to escort the Empress into their chambers because she was feeling a bit faint.

.

Music: Her playing soothed him at the end of a long day, but nothing comforted him quite like her arms wrapped around him in a gentle embrace.
