It was a time of peace, the king made sure to keep it that way. The fields were green, the sky amazingly blue, the air thick with the smell of grass and freshly picked flowers.

"Father, may I go for a ride? I will not stay out too late" asked the beautiful princess.

"Alright daughter, but please do not be too long" answered the king.

The princess of the kingdom was a beautiful young lady, with fair skin and hair to match and strikingly green eyes, like the raging sea. The princess, Leann, at 18 had already received a few offers of marriage from all the eligible bachelors in the kingdom. But Leann was not one to marry just yet, beholding such a free spirit that couldn't be tamed. Needless to say, she gave her father quite some grief.

On the other side of the kingdom...

"Father, I have finished my chores, may I be excused?" asked the peasant's daughter.

"NO! have you finished cleaning the barn yet?!" yelled the peasant.

"No sir, you did not mention it needed cleaning..." she tried to explain.

"Do I have to tell you everything around here?! Go and clean it you worthless child!" he answered.

The peasant's daughter, Chris, though a mere peasant, was as beautiful as a goddess. With her long black hair, piercing blue eyes that shined like the stars in the sky and a muscled body from all the hard work, it was easy to forget your place around her. Chris, so much not like her father, had a good heart and a very bad life. Her mother died when she was younger and her father never really liked her, he always put up with her just because of her mother.

Chris walked out to the barn all the while mumbling to herself how she couldn't wait until she left home. She couldn't take this anymore...

As Chris was working on cleaning the barn she suddenly heard a scream. Immediately she dropped everything and ran out to check things out.

Outside, she looked around until she caught sight of a horse munching on some grass and a woman lying beside him. Chris ran over to her and crouched beside her. She had never laid eyes on a more beautiful creature than the one lying in front of her. Snapping herself from her haze she picked the girl in her arms and carried her to the barn. In the barn Chris laid the girl on some soft hay and moved to brush her hair off of her face.

At that moment the girl opened her eyes just to be struck mute when she saw who her savior was. The girl in front of her was definitely a magnificent sight to behold, the streaks of dirt on her high cheeks made her look all the more enticing.

"Are you alright ma'am?" asked Chris.

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you ahh..." answered Leann.

"Oh sorry...where are my manners...I'm Chris, and you are?"

"I'm Leann...It's nice to meet you Chris"

"Well ahh...what happened Leann? Do you hurt anywhere?" asked Chris concerned.

"Well...all I remember is that I was riding my horse and suddenly something happened and he threw me off...my ankle hurts a little" answered Leann.

Chris brought Leann's foot to her lap and took her boot off. Leann's ankle was quite swollen but Chris didn't think it was broken or had permanent damage.

"It is a little swollen Leann so I better bring some ice to put on it...you just lay here and I'll be right back" said Chris.

"Ummm....Chris?"

"Yeah Leann?"

"I just wanted to thank you for your kindness..."

"It's really nothing...I'm glad I could help" said Chris as she gave her a smile and walked towards the house.

A few minutes passed and Chris returned with some ice to put on the swollen ankle. "Here you go...you're all set..." said Chris.

"Thank you..."

"What's the matter? Does it hurt elsewhere?" asked the concerned Chris.

Leann gave a small smile and shook her head "No, It's just that my father will probably worry about me and get angry at me...".

"Hey, you were hurt, It's not your fault...and besides you can't go back like that, I bet you can barely stand on that foot. Look, your father will understand, you'll stay here until you're all better and than when you go home, you can explain everything to him, alright?" said Chris, trying to comfort the distraught girl.

"Alright, though I doubt he will be so understanding..." said Leann with a rueful smile.

"Then it's settled...C'mon try to get some sleep...it will do you a world of good" offered Chris.

"Yes, I think I'll do just that" said Leann, stifling a yawn.

"Ok, so...I guess I'll see you tomorrow Leann?" asked Chris.

"Chris...would you please stay here with me? I don't want to be here all alone at night...please?" pleaded Leann.

There was no way that Chris could decline such an offer "Sure, no problem...".

Chris laid down next to Leann, covering themselves with the blanket Chris brought as they both fell into a deep restful sleep.

The next morning, there was a loud banging on the door of Chris' house. Her father went to open the door, grumbling something about a useless daughter. In front of him stood to guards of the royal court. The peasant straightened himself immediately. "Yes sirs, what can a peasant like me do to help you?" asked the peasant, bowing.

"You could shoe us where the princess is!" the guards answered.

"Whatever do you mean? How should I know that?" asked the peasant.

One of the guards grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and push him against the door "Now you listen to me you little worthless peasant, we found the princess' horse grazing in your fields...now you better speak up now before I really loose my temper" warned the guard.

"I really don't know sire...wait! I'll ask my daughter, maybe she saw something..." squeaked the peasant.

"Yeah, you do that"

The peasant led the guards to the barn after checking Chris' room and seeing it was empty. The guards broke the door down to find the princess laying on the hay next to the filthy looking peasant girl.

The sound of the door breaking startled the girls into awakening. When Chris saw the guards she knew immediately who Leann was, she got up and tried to explain but was stopped by her father's fist connecting with her jaw solidly.

"You worthless little bitch! You could have gotten me killed!" screamed the peasant at his daughter all the while pouncing on her until she was nothing more than a quivering form on the ground...beaten and bruised.

"NO! Leave her alone, she didn't do anything...please stop hurting her!" screamed Leann towards the peasant as he was beating on his daughter while she was being dragged out from the barn by the guards.

When the guards reached the castle, they brought Leann in front of the king. The guards explained everything they saw in the barn to the king, twisting everything and not telling even an ounce of truth. Leann was crying helplessly as her father didn't even bother to listen to the truth and heard his final judgment. To bring Chris to the castle the next morning where she'll be thrown in jail, followed by an execution.

At that Leann ran from the room to her own bedroom crying constantly until she didn't have any tears left in her to cry.

The next morning the order was followed...Chris was dragged from her house and brought to the castle. Leann was watching the scene unfold from a corner, carefully trying not to be observed.

What she saw broke her heart, Chris was barely standing on her feet, her eye was swollen shut and her face covered with bloodied bruises. Leann wanted to go and hold her in her arms, tell her everything is going to be alright...but she didn't know that for sure.

As ordered Chris was thrown in jail and was to be executed the next day.

After the guards left Chris' cell, a small shadow sneaked into the jail cell, walking quietly towards Chris who appeared to be sleeping. As the figure approached the slumped figure on the floor, Chris' eyes opened and stared into the most beautiful green she's ever seen...Leann's eyes.

"Hey..." said Chris.

With that single word, the flood gates opened and Leann started crying again...harder now that she's seen Chris...she couldn't believe Chris even wanted to see her ever again, let alone talk to her.

Chris couldn't stand to see Leann cry so she pulled her into her arms, rocking her and whispering soothing words into her ear until she calmed down.

When Leann calmed down, she gave Chris a watery smile and sniffed a little which Chris found to be absolutely adorable.

"I'm supposed to be here comforting you, telling you everything's going to be alright and right now all I can do is cry and hug you and tell you how sorry I am for this..." said Leann as the tears started falling again.

Chris caught a lone tear on her finger and wiped the rest off too, "Honey, I am not blaming you for this...you're the last person I could ever blame or be angry at... When I saw you the first time...it was like magic...I felt something click inside...like a piece of my soul has just made its way back...I really don't know how to explain this, especially as I met you only two days ago...I feel like I've known you for a lifetime..." Chris unbarred her heart to Leann.

Leann was crying again, only this time tears of joy, "I feel the same way..." was the only thing she could say before her lips were captured by Chris'. The kiss was gentle at first...a way of exploring new found ground but it quickly turned into an all passionate deep kiss that left them both breathless. Right then they heard someone coming, Leann got up to leave but before she left, she whispered in Chris' ear "I'll find a way for us to be together...I promise my love".

The next day it was time for Chris to be executed. She was brought out of her cell by two guards and up on wooden made stage.

People from all over the kingdom came to see the execution. The king's voice rumbled from the stage. "People of the court, this peasant to be executed was found guilty of kidnapping the princess and ruining the princess' good name. I here by condemn this girl to be executed! off with her head."

the guards readied Chris for the execution, pulling her to her knees and bending her head over a stump. As the executioner readied himself to bring the blade down a shout was heard "NO!", everybody turned their heads to see the princess running towards the stage, a piece of paper in hand.

"What is the meaning of this?!" asked the outraged king.

"This! right here it says a princess has the right to forfeit her status to save a person from being executed" said the out of breath princess.

"It also says that princess and the person meant to be executed are to be banned forever from the kingdom...are you willing to do that for this simple peasant Leann?!" asked the dumbfounded king.

"Yes, yes I am...I'm sorry father but I love her..." said Leann.

"Then so be it...release her and get out of my sight..." said the defeated king.

Leann went to Chris and released her from her bindings. Together they jumped off the stage and left the town's square, leaving behind them a crowd of gaping people...unbelieving to what has just happened.

 

 

Leann and Chris traveled for a while in silence until they got to a quiet little place in the woods where they could make a small camp for the night.

Chris was the first to break the silence, "Leann, why did you do that? I mean...don't get me wrong...I love you for what you did but you left everything for me?" said the incredulous Chris.

"Yes, I did...I told you I'd find a way for us to be together...that night when I left your cell I went searching in all the law books I could find until I found this ancient law...I don't mind that I'm not a princess anymore, It never really fitted me...I always felt out of place and my father...well, I will miss him but I would have died if I had lost you..." said Leann.

"Leann...what can I say but thank you and that I'll try to do my best to make you see what you did wasn't for nothing...and you're wrong...you are a princess...my sweet princess...my guardian angel" said Chris.

Leann blushed at that and lowered her eyes, "No, don't do that...never do that..." asked Chris as she pulled Leann's chin up so she could look into her eyes.

"Let me take care of those cuts and bruises for you..." said Leann as she got up to take a wet rag to clean Chris' face.

As Leann started cleaning Chris' face slowly, gently...Chris grabbed her hand in hers and held it still for a moment and as Leann's face was close to her own she pulled her closer and kissed her lips softly. "I've wanted to do that since the first time I saw you...and when we kissed in the jail cell I thought my heart is going to burst right out of my chest..." said chris as she grinned sheepishly.

Leann let go of the rag and pulled Chris for another soul melting kiss. Chris brought her arms around Leann and pulled her tightly against her. The kiss grew more heated as Chris pushed Leann gently down on their make shift bed. Chris' lips trailed kisses all along Leann's Jaw and then moved to her neck to nibble lightly on it. "Leann, are you sure this is what you want?" asked Chris breathlessly. "Yes, oh god yes...please" answered Leann.

Leann could hear her heart pound against her ribcage as Chris pulled her dress over her head and she laid there naked on the ground watching the magnificent sight of Chris' body. When their naked bodies pressed together they both gasped, Chris loved that sound coming from Leann's mouth and she decided she wanted to hear much more of it. Therefore, she went to Leann's breasts and smothered them with soft kisses all the while listening to Leann's breath quickening and the sweet moans coming from her mouth. Chris moved to take a nipple into her mouth and started sucking on it gently at first and then with more fervor as the heat got more intense. The soft moans and groans coming from Leann's mouth were constant now, she felt as if she couldn't take anymore...it felt too good.

Chris left Leann's breasts and traveled lower down her body. As she reached the blonde's treasure she spread her lips open and touched the hard nub with the tip of her tongue, at that Leann screamed.

Chris took the nub into her mouth and started sucking on it and pulling it as deep as it went into her mouth, releasing it with a pop she thrust her tongue lower into Leann's sweet opening that was dripping wet. Chris could feel Leann's was about to come and she wanted to see her face when she did. She let her fingers take over and brought her mouth back up to Leann's mouth. Leann's was a beautiful sight, with her head thrown back, lips parted, breathing irregular and erratic and fists that clenched tightly the bedspread.

"Come for me baby" whispered Chris heatedly into Leann's ear. And that was all it took for Leann, she screamed loud and strong as she released. Her back arching, her fists clenching and unclenching in the bedspread, her eyes closed tightly shut and her body going rigid. When she calmed down tears were rolling down her face, Chris pulled her to her and kissed her face all over wiping the tears away and holding her close to her.

"Are you alright Leann?"

"Yes...that was...It was just really intense...It was amazing" said Leann.

"Yeah it was...Leann....I love you..." said Chris as she held her a little tighter and caressed her back and damp hair.

"I love you too Chris..." answered Leann.

 

They made love until the first rays of light and then they fell asleep in each other's arms, feeling safe and loved. When they woke up they left the kingdom. By doing so leaving their past, their differences and their old lives behind them and looking forward to the present and the future...together.
