Zeph Ogden ~Older Cavalry Captain

After nearly two decades of battle and strategizing, Cavalry Captain Zeph Ogden returns home to Genova. He soon finds himself drawn to the young crown prince, despite their twenty-five year age difference.

It had been six months since Zeph's return to the kingdom of Genovia, and things had changed significantly in his absence. The prudish nature of old had given way to more openness—drinking no longer confined to private homes, and intimate companions no longer sought in back alleys but available more openly.

The most striking change, however, was the presence of an heir to the throne—a beautiful young man who lit up any room with his charm and regal bearing, evidence of his thorough royal training.

After mingling at the evening's gala, Zeph felt a familiar warmth of arousal stirring in his stomach. Having been rejected by one of the royal commission prostitutes, he needed another outlet for his desire. That's when his gaze fell upon the crown prince.

Zeph had no way of knowing if the prince shared his proclivities; same-gender attractions remained something people still moved quietly about, despite society's other advancements. It didn't stop him from approaching the younger man as the night wore on.

"Good evening, his royal highness," Zeph said, his tone carrying an air of deliberate mystery. "A lovely gala you've hosted tonight." The words hung in the air between them, weighted with unspoken possibilities as the captain studied the prince's reaction.
