In this fairytale inspired by a classic children’s story, weaver’s daughter Adrien is tired of turning down marriage proposals. So she disguises herself as a boy and sets out on a journey of discovery, accompanied only by her faithful piglet Ferkel. Rescuing a young monk named Felix from brigands, Adrien agrees to act as bodyguard on his journey to the King’s castle to present the princess with a telescope.<br><br>The lovely Princess Selene has also had more than her fair share of suitors, but she refuses to marry until someone gives her the moon. Felix’s telescope could grant her heart’s desire, but it’s Adrien who finds herself in love with the lively, beautiful princess.<br><br>Astonished to find Selene loves her in return, Adrien’s joy is short-lived. Surely Selene’s love will die when Adrien reveals her true gender? And in any case, two women cannot be married -- can they?

Capture the Moon

With trembling hands, Selene held the cloth to her lips, kissing it reverently. Her long, dark lashes caressed her cheeks as she closed her eyes for but an instant, then opened them swiftly as if unwilling to lose a moment more of the vision in front of her. “Oh, but you are beautiful, my love,” she breathed. The cloth now falling to the floor, unheeded, she pressed soft kisses to Adrien’s breasts, which tingled at her touch as though on fire.


Awhirl with sensation, it took Adrien a while before she was equal to acting on her impatience to see her lover likewise displayed. “And yet,” she said at last, her voice uneven, “I still feel a shiver upon my flesh. I fear there’s only one thing can warm me now, and that’s the touch of your soft skin upon mine.”
