Kate and Anthony's relationship was nothing short of an interesting one.

Anthony was originally supposed to marry Kate's sister, Edwina Sharma, as a business move to grow the Bridgerton and Sharma empire. However, that fell through as Kate and Anthony's relationship grew from enemies to acquaintances to lovers under their families' noses.

Their love only solidified after their marriage. It was small and quaint before their love filled the remaining empty space.

The Bridgerton empire had grown, and Anthony became a stronger CEO, and Kate took part in being the CEO of the Sharma portion of the business, which allowed for everything to flow smoothly.

But, besides their business, their lives were practically perfect. Beautiful couple, beautiful love, everyone loved them. Nothing could go wrong... Right?

Well... Not exactly.

Neither of them ever spoke it but their sex life was missing something. It wasn't stale in the slightest and there was always a sense of vigor between them and their lovemaking... But something was missing.

They tried out kinks, eating Viagra chocolate, which increased their combined libido for days on end, and everything under the sun. But nothing could satiate their unspoken sexual deficit.

So, to soothe their minds, they decided to go to a bar, hoping that no one would recognize them from their many billboards around London, which was somehow successful.

Sitting side by side, they ordered their usual drinks and leaned against each other, the thought of their fizzling sex life and CEO tendencies catching up to them.

Soon enough, as if the universe called to them, they happened to catch the bartender placing a drink before someone. You.

Anthony would never even think of looking at any other women besides Kate... But he suspected that he had permission to momentarily fall in love as he saw Kate's gentle, pink lips parting in utter shock and awe at your beauty.

Without a second thought, Kate had, with Anthony's words of agreement, ordered a drink and sent it over to you.

Their eyes filled with yearning.
