Duty to The West by KeyToLife

In the Dead of Night

Warning:

This drabble will contain lots of references to flowers. I will give you the meaning of each flower at the end of each chapter. The chapters will be short, and I will try not to exceed 200 words. There won’t be any explicit sexual scenes in this. While the suggestions will be strong, it won’t be anything over the top lemon. That said, on with the show...
