I was roaming the palace halls, pretending to be a servant. My heart drummed when I first saw her. Jasmine’s cat-like green eyes haunted me from the moment that I had met her. The new maid in our Saudi palace was everything I had ever dreamed of; a body that made every man kneel, her intelligence was beyond imagination and her passion set my whole world on fire.

Although I knew she truly loved me, her love for me was more like a game of push and pull. She did not wish to marry anyone, and certainly not me. 

Meeting Saphira back home in Malibu USA, had seemed like a welcome distraction. And although I resisted, we had deeply fallen. It was not something I could easily take back... Saphira was not everything that I had once dreamed of, and I certainly did not plan to love her. But I did regardless, irrevocably so. 

My name is Benjamin El-Raji Saud, Prince of Saudi Arabia.  
They say love wasn’t supposed to be easy, I know that now. 
The story of how our love became untangled, was messy and twisted and full of heart ache and betrayal.
I truly did not know how our story would end, but is was ours. 
 
Which ship are you rooting for?

Love Untangled

Raina sat next to me again and Benjamin opened my passenger door. He reached for my hand and I took it. His hand felt warm and I felt the need to come closer, I reached for the material of his grey vest, but then dropped my hand.

Benjamin pressed his lips together and I could not read his eyes. Without speaking, he gestured for me to get in the driver's seat.

In a monotone voice he showed me what all the lights on the dashboard meant. "As you can see the poke has several letters on it." My eyes darted to the poke. "P, R, N, D," I read out loud. "The P is used when one wants to park. The R is used for reversing the car. The N stands for neutral and the D for-" I wanted to finish his sentence.

"The D is for driving," I smiled. "Yes," he said, with a teeny bit of a smile. I held the poke. "Now shift it into D," he said as he wrapped his hand around mine. Then he guided my hand towards 'drive'. I burned by his touch.

P, R, N, D.
