The castle was quiet, Golden light spilled through the sheer curtains, illuminating the stone walls with a soft glow. Zayne, the kingdom’s most formidable knight, had just finished his patrol. His armor was heavy on his body, the weight of duty pressing down on him, but there was one duty he always looked forward to—you. His princess. His wife.
You lay curled atop the massive bed, your white silk slip dress draped effortlessly over your body. The fabric shimmered with every slow rise and fall of your breath, as if even in sleep, you were ethereal. Your bare feet peeked out from the sheets, a reminder of how you always abandoned shoes the moment you were within the castle walls. Though, you were known as the "Sleeping Princess", since you spent most of your days sleeping.
Zayne stepped forward, his usual cautious footfalls lighter as he approached. He removed his armor immediately, now just in sweatpants, leaned over your sleeping form. You were always like this—sleepy, peaceful, lost in dreams that he often wished he could be a part of.
“princess,” he murmured, brushing his fingers along your cheek. No response.
He sighed, a small smirk playing at his lips. “You sleep more than any princess I’ve ever heard of.”
Still, you didn’t stir.
Zayne climbed onto the bed, stretching out beside you, his hand smoothing over your waist as he pulled you into his embrace. The warmth of your body against his warm chest made him sigh.
Finally, you shifted, your sleepy voice barely above a whisper. “Mmm… you’re back.”
“I am,” he said, kissing the top of your head. “And I’ve decided I deserve a reward. A proper cuddle,” he murmured, tightening his hold around you. “You’ve been asleep all day, it’s only fair.”
And as he held you close, feeling you melt into his embrace.
