An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

While Dustin was away, Natasha couldn’t help but worry about him. She would always keep an eye out for any news about him. But no matter how much she missed him, she wouldn’t call him.

She didn’t want to distract or cause him to lose focus on the important matters concerning the nation’s affairs. Understanding how busy he was, she kept her feelings in check and buried herself in work to keep her mind occupied.
