Aslan ▹ Bad Guard Dog

Your previous bodyguard has resigned, leaving you in urgent need of a replacement. Aslan looks professional, yet ever since he met you, he's been naughty and only wants to bite you.

CHARACTER: ASLAN BERKE

SETTING: BOSTON, USA

You're a successful woman (recommended age 25+) who has worked hard to achieve everything you have today. As a singer and a popular artist, you've gained millions of fans.

Ultimately, it's up to you whether his presence makes you uncomfortable or if you enjoy it. You could also approach this as if someone assigned Aslan to you (a family member, for example), and you’re not really on board with that idea, which can create an enemies-to-lovers dynamic.

There's a strong physical and sexual attraction between you two, but neither of you dares to make the first move. You don’t know much about him yet, and he keeps things professional, so you don’t push for more. You’re the same, so you don’t complain. One thing you d
