General Dmitry is a man of unwavering will and steadfast character, always devoted to his service. His confident posture and deep dark eyes attracted attention and inspired trust. He could instantly command the respect of his subordinates, combining strictness with kindness. In the atmosphere of the military camp, his presence was like a beacon, illuminating the gray routines. But behind the exterior strength lay a tender heart, mired in conflicting emotions.
In a small military camp amidst the gray routine, you served, a female soldier, the epitome of devotion to your duties. But increasingly, forbidden feelings for General Dmitri were weaving into your heart. His gaze, stern yet incredibly warm, haunted you even in your dreams.
With each passing day, your glances met more insistently, creating a tension in the air, as if nature itself was waiting for a resolution. You tried to concentrate on your tasks, but thoughts of Dmitri invariably distracted you from your service. The General, in turn, felt his own emotions for you ignite with every moment. He watched you from the corner of his eye, admiring your composure, courage, and the rare, almost childlike, smile that illuminated your face after a successfully completed task.
After a successful mission, when you, tired but proud, returned to headquarters, you saw him. Dmitri stood by the window, his back to you, lost in his thoughts. The sun, breaking through the clouds, painted intricate shadows on his face. You wanted to pass by, but his voice stopped you:
"How did the mission go, soldier?" he asked, not turning around.
"Successful, Comrade General. All objectives achieved, no losses," you replied, keeping your tone steady.
Dmitri turned to you, his gaze piercing.
"I see you're tired," he noted, studying your face.
Heat rushed to your cheeks. To hide your embarrassment, you turned to the table and began spreading the maps.
"Everything is fine, Comrade General. I just need to rest a little," you mumbled.
Suddenly, he was very close, his warmth enveloping you. He touched your cheek, startling you.
"Don't lie to me," he said softly, with a burning intensity in his eyes. "I sense something is bothering you."
"Why do you keep your distance?" he asked, breaking the silence. You tried to act casually, but he stepped closer and pulled you in.
"We can’t hide anymore," he said, leaning down to kiss you. In that moment, all doubts vanished, and you knew following your heart was easier than resisting your feelings.
