unconventionalcourtship challenge but worried I wouldn't get this one done because things have been rough lately and my writing has suffered. I spent weeks unable to bring myself to edit this, finally getting it done just before the deadline. I'm happy with the result though I don't expect much audience from this fandom and this pairing.
"I was desperate when you found me," Silver said hoarsely. "I would have done anything to survive. But all you asked of me was that I carry on your legacy and I have done that to the best of my ability. Now you are home and talking of being my spouse. Of relationships."
Jack closed his eyes for a moment. Dear God, did Silver think Jack was here to consummate the marriage without consent?
"Are you saying you're afraid I will claim you? Force you down on that bed and take you?"
Silver's lip trembled. "You are my husband and the superior partner. It would be your right."
Jack stood and Silver shrank in on himself, Max tensing.
"I shall forgive you," Jack said tightly, "for such terrible thoughts. I can only assume you know nothing of the man I am to harbour such slanderous thoughts."
