Guarded

A story from the Love’s Landscapes event sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group.
Members of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group were invited to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale.
Kim Fielding responded to this request.
PHOTO DESCRIPTION
Two very muscular, shirtless men stand under a cascade of water. The man on the left kneels and rests his head against the other’s torso. His eyes are closed and his palm is pressed against the other man’s heart. The man on the right leans over his companion slightly and gathers his companion’s long wet hair with one hand. He looks down at his companion with tenderness and concern.
STORY LETTER
Dear Author,
We are on the run, me— a bodyguard— and him— a prince. I have admired him for so long, but he hates me.
*Can be set as a fairy tale/fantasy/medieval. No sci-fi, dystopia, contemporary.
*Feys, warlocks, vampires, shapeshifters if you like (not necessarily), no ghouls, ghosts or zombies.
*Lots of erotic tension, other partners/threesome welcome, non-con okay.
*Must have fighting scene(s) (each other or others) with/without weapons. Slow growing of love. HFN or HEA please.
Thank you very much,
Margitta
