Candles lit... Slipping into the quiet sanctuary behind the waterfall hidden in the deepest oasis within jungle paradise. Peace and quiet. No no quiet... pressing on a little button hidden in the natural walls and soft music begins to play.
Sinking into the water with a sigh the music softly begins to fill the air with the scents of the jungle flowers and the soothing sensual nature surrounding me as my eyes close letting the day fall away.
He was her protector her ally her lover her heart.
She was his lover his salvation his soul his secret.
~Story plotting time~
Left for dead since she was unwilling to yield to the warlord who had taken over her homeland. Her own people allowing her to be cast out to protect their own hides.

Within his tribe he was... different by the first shift all had found their "balance". He however had not excelling as a warrior but it was not battle that balanced the man and the beast. Magic was not his balance though he could see it... feel its sway in the ethers... Without his balance he could not learn if Love or family was his true balance. Wild an outsider living on the edge though born to lead and to rule them.
He was running... lost in the beast as the sun was falling to its constant death to prepare for rebirth. Unsure why he was running in the direction of the human lands he let the magics he could see in the distance guide him. The beast never cared for magics before but this was different... but why?
He was strange to her... nothing like the others that worked for her husband. While he appeared at least to them to be just as ruthless and brutal she saw something. Something that brought them slowly warily together something that made her risk her husband's rage and her own death to feel the safety and tenderness he offered.
The last thing he was supposed to do was fall in love with the wife of the biggest undercover bust of his career but something about her made him want to keep her safe to show her there was tenderness and safety in the world... in the long run to save her.

A few years her husbands junior she had more money than she ever could have imagined but with all that money came the prison of a life that her husband enforced well. Save for any of his people there were few if any outsiders allowed around her unless it would further her husbands standing in carious circles if his wife and their wives were friends. Then with death of a guard who tried foolishly to stop him from hitting her within days another guard was there. Someone one of his "Generals" recommended from the lower ranks.
