"You were a child. You should have the opportunity to... be with someone you at least like instead of this." He gestures back toward the palace and the festivities, clearly angry and frustrated for Sam. "I understand it is your role, as Prince. That you love your people. That you would do anything for us. But. As the object of Walker's obsession." He takes another breath. "Is there anyone... that you can spend some time with? Before you have to go to him?"
Is Bucky suggesting that the Prince sleep with a friend? Perhaps. It's the same advice he gave his sister. That her virginity was hers to do with as she pleased. That spending time in the arms of a friend, even if they were in no position to marry her, was worth more than an alpha's obsession with purity in a marriage bed.
