Okay... Only about a page and a half long, for I did not know what else I could add. TAW short story, and I hope Ты enjoy... And if Ты do not understand, Huntsman's real name is Sim.


Huntsman sits alone in his study, summary sheets scattered across the table, Чтение from a thick non-fiction book, about history of The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Flicking over a page, his ear twitches as someone enters, but he does not worry, for he knows exactly who it is.

Only a секунда later, he can feel her breathing upon his neck, her thin, semi-translucent nightgown brushing on his naked torso.

“Iothlane? What is it Ты want?” he asks, turning to face the British Princess.

She is quiet for a minute.

“You saved my life today, Sim…” she finally says, “You do not expect others to give Ты honesty and loyalty Ты deserve, but Ты earn it… I tell you, I think that is admirable trait. My family, they have always expected my loyalty, because of bloodlines…”

“You saved mine, too… Ты could have easily let me fall, and save yourself the trouble of killing me later…” Huntsman frowns, “You are a strange girl, Iothlane… I never know where I stand with you… At first, Ты help me, and then Ты try blowing me up, then Ты save my life…”

“As said, Ты gain loyalty through your selfless acts…” her lips curl back in a smile, “But once I get out of here, I will have to tell my country about what happened, and they will have to kill you.”

“Then don’t tell them…”

“I have considered that, Sim…” she says, “I admire you, but my loyalty has not yet been won…”

“…Strange girl…”

“Oh, be quiet!” She says, then pushes her lips to his, silencing him and catching him off guard for once.

His eyes widen in shock, his mind is screaming. His fiancée, Zoe, had betrayed him, yet it seemed she was regretful… But here was Iothlane, in all her beauty, practically giving herself to him.

Iothlane wanted him...

His thoughts flash to her, Zoe, standing in the doorway, wearing his own baggy jacket, yawning as she woke up, then back to Iothlane, her revealing clothing clutching to her skin.

He does not Kiss back, but nor does he pull away. He just stays there, Холодное сердце in time, letting her have her way until she breaks away, and whispers in his ear.

“Now I am going back to my Bunker, to sleep naked for the first time I have in years. I would be overjoyed if Ты would care to Присоединиться me.” and with that, she turns and leaves Huntsman, sitting alone once more, mouth slightly agape.

After sitting in silence for a few minutes, he smiled and turned back to his work.

For the whole period of time that night, he did not even consider going back to the Bunker.

So, what do Ты think? Leave us a comment, and I hope Ты enjoyed it! I didn't put any warnings in this, because there was not any actual sex scences, only references... And I am pretty ure noone will mind. ^^' CONSTRUCTIVE critics are welcome.
