“Lady Weston,” Nimona said. “I am not owned by my father.”
go girl
Had she been a normal lady and he a gentleman of court, he might have been just what she enjoyed.
She stared at her reflection in the looking glass of a bedroom in a home that had never truly been hers,
“How very vulgar,” someone said into her ear. The breath was hot and close, and Nim’s heart slammed into her chest.
“So why? I ask. What price do you put above your own life by stealing into the heart of a king’s house?” The silence stretched before her word slipped free. “Freedom.”
“You can take nothing from me. Why would I need to lie—to cover anything of myself? I’m bare to you, my lady.”
folded for him
“I’m bare to you. I vow to only speak the truth to you.”

entirely shirtless chest and stared back at her with a dark look.
manifesting this
Possibly, it was their continued conversation when they both should clearly have been in bed. Their own beds, obviously.
OMGG
“I told you,” he said, his tone once more a vow. “I’m bare to you.”
I need you naked rn
She was begging for torture from a man who knew it best, and for nothing. He owned her. There was no single way to be free. He was in her home.
“Tell me what happened,” he said. “All of it.”
HIS PROTECTIVENESS RAHHH IM DYINGG
“But you know someone on the inside.” “If you had any idea...” He released a long breath. “Don’t attempt to discover my secrets, my lady. It will only bring you regret.” “Nim.” His gaze shot back to hers.
AHHH
Yours, —W
Ohh my days
“You, my dear Nim, are a pawn.”

“Calum. He-He’s going to use me to draw you out, to—” Warrick crossed to her. “I know.”
ahhh i love warrick
“He hurt you.”
this would be so cute if he didn't just betray her...
He uttered a curse. And then the seneschal of Inara and second to the king grabbed hold of Nim’s face, pressed his palms to either cheek, and drew her toward him.
“Go,” he told her. “Please.”
this man so whipped for her
Yours, —W
this is how you lose the time war reference 😱😱 (jk this is actually so adorbs)
“Hmm,” he said against her hair, his words for the audience of a seneschal and no one else, “look what the fates have brought me.”
“The Lady Weston is not yours to care for. Lady Weston is mine.”
nah
and strong hands drew her up, careful of their grip.
His care twards her <33
His voice was low, a vow. “My waking hours are devoured by thoughts of you.”
AHHHHH LOVE HIM SM
Nim was the thing that might do Warrick in, the thing Calum could finally use against him. The thing he’d grown attached to.
His weakness
I warned you, the look said, and his words from before echoed through Nim. Touch her, and I will end you myself.
Yessss
Warrick’s hands slid beneath Nim’s knees and shoulders, and he lifted her with ease. “See to the others,” he told Wesley then turned to walk from the room.
Warrick coming clutch with his princess treatment
His hands came to her waist, holding her, and then Warrick lifted his head to brush his lips to her skin. The gentle kiss was an apology and something else, something that felt like a promise. He was going to keep her safe. Hide her where she could not be burned like the others.
marry me
“You would not be bound to me by magic, Nim. And I will not tie you the way you were shackled by terms before. Protection is what I mean, and only that.”
