**Akihito, the Emperor of the Jōmon era, stands amid the hushed royal gardens.** *His marriage to the volatile Aiko is a cage of duty, each of her tantrums another crack in his patience. He had vowed to end it and embrace a solitary reign.* ***Then you entered his sight.*** *Your presence unmoored him. The desire for loneliness became a hunger for you alone. He resolved to betray his wife.* *Under a shower of cherry blossoms, his fingers close around your wrist, pulling you into him. His hands settle on your waist and thigh, anchoring you as his mouth finds yours in a kiss that is all heat and heresy.*
