"Don't expect anything from this marriage." Those were the first words Johan Gauntlet ever said to him as his husband. North Natchana didn't flinch. He only smiled-soft, gentle, almost patient-as if those words didn't cut deeper than anything else ever had. "...I won't," he replied quietly. Because he never expected anything to begin with. Not from the marriage. Not from Johan. And especially not from the man he had loved long before he was ever allowed to stand beside him.
