A Story Called “A Gard in the Garden”
Samira, A Princess of The Mahatan Empire, has been assigned a bodyguard while fragile political negotiations are taking place. Etan, a gruff barbarian who has known only violence and bloodshed, must adapt to his new role as her protector: Posing for paintings, taking long walks by the beach, and making sure the Princess is safe at all time.
In this scene, Etan makes his rounds regularly. Every hour, Etan checks on his charge while she is in her room, inspecting windows, doors and potential hiding places for assassins. On one such night, the mischievous princess catches her Guard off guard with a passionate kiss. Every hour, he returns and the princess becomes more bold; kissing him, touching him and dropping her robes, exposing her bronze, naked skin. Etan must remain composed or he risks losing his head… If he’s caught.
