He was shirtless. Hair disheveled. Lips slightly parted in exhausted surrender. And buried beneath an entangled pile of women.
Azhara was sprawled across his chest, purring softly in her sleep.
Sha had claimed his right arm like a royal scepter, her face buried in his bicep.

He was pinned to bed by four ladies. Smothered by affection, consequence, and one very smug rabbit tail twitching against his ribs.
Then… The leaf door opened.
Soft footsteps echoed on stone. Regal. Precise. Deliberate.
