His senses were abuzz with the feel of her. She tasted of peppermint and regret and she felt like sin.
He knew this was wrong, knew he was betraying his best friend and his dear wife, but he could not stop. She was teasing his ear with her tongue and whispering sweet nothingness in his ear and he was lost.
The king knew his poor Ygraine was barren, and though he still loved her with all his heart, this thought weighed down on his mind, suffocating him until he drowned.
Vivienne, too, was suffocating. She loved the man she had married, but she was stuck with the knowledge that he did not return these feelings of romantic love; instead seeing her as his darling little sister.
They were drowning together, engaged in a disgusting passion that both wanted to quit but neither could find out how.
He would lie next to his wife, feeling her heart beat against him, and he would promise himself that nothing would make him go back to that witch. But then morning would come and he would find himself drunk on her skin, basking in the way it would glow with sweat.
It was a never ending circle they were stuck in, and Uther knew that as long as Ygraine was barren he would always end up in the other woman's bed.
