Loved by the Enemy is a 2003 work of Legends erotic fiction written by Sith Council Member. Set prior to the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, it pairs Princess Leia Organa with the Imperial pilot Tress Poulin. It was released on February 10, 2003.

Synopsis
Leia Organa Solo recalls the Imperial Ball and dinner hosted for Lord Tion on Alderaan prior to her secret mission to Tatooine, remembering the Galactic Empire's bullish behavior and the frustration of her adoptive father, Bail Prestor Organa. She spends the morning before getting ready, helped by her personal tailor Chiranna, choosing the least revealing of her dresses but making up for it with expensive silk lingerie.

She is paired with the handsome Captain Tress Poulin, a decorated TIE fighter pilot who dances with her at the Ball. A predatory animal, Poulin dances closely with the intent of seducing her, leaving Leia in a state of arousal with her loyalties strained. They sit opposite at dinner while Tion and Kendal Ozzel make speeches, and stare at each other while Tress caresses her with his foot under the table.

They retire into the gardens as the evening draws to a close, and though Leia fears rejection she invites Tress to bed. He kisses her for the first time, and Leia leads him into her suite in the Aldera Royal Palace where they kiss deeply, Tress surprising her with his strength. They move from the sofa to Leia's bed and undress each other before kissing and fondling on the sheets. Though Tress wants to go down on her, Leia directs him to finger her instead. He brings her to orgasm, though Leia feels her sexual journey is still incomplete, discovering a need to make love with him. She opens her legs and Tress enters her gently, their tryst awkward at first until Leia wraps herself around him and reciprocates his thrusts. They move faster, and Leia climaxes just before Tress does, feeling his warm seed filling her.

The lovers part reluctantly, Leia waking the next morning to find Tress gone, having left a red rose and a letter on her pillow. She treasures the letter, especially Tress's reference to her as a woman. In the years to come she hints at the experience to others, though even her future husband Han Solo remains unaware of who her lover was. Leia finishes her reminiscence by thinking of her daughter Jaina Solo, herself a few years shy of her coming of age, and hopes that she will find as much pleasure and reward in her womanhood as Leia has.
