She met him as a child, he raised her like his daughter...until she fall in love with him. She was the princess of a kingdom, betrothed to another strong king. He was a young priest, swore to only love god and never touch or even think about any woman. 
 Will he be able to resist that love and temptation, and stop himself from doing the greatest sin? Did she ever get the love she wanted? Or will she be trapped in a loveless marriage? 
And will society ever let them two together or the pure love will be treated as a sin?

I chuckled hearing his answer, he was talking like a possessed man, without any emotion. I already knew I was going to get rejected by him, but still, I tried...
He is a priest after all and had years of experience in resisting seduction. What was I even thinking when I decided to tell him my feelings? 
“ Sure Father, I won't get late”, I replied and turned around as I get the worst idea of my life. I can't be more shameless, can I? It's all worth it though...for him, I have no shame. 
My heart was pounding, and my whole body was shivering because of fear. Was I really going to do this? Hell, yes. 
The soft silk gown fell from my body when I removed it. My long golden-brown hair was hiding my back but still, it was outrageous to stand naked in front of another man, and it was even more sinful if that man is your father!
I saw his lascivious gaze when I turned around after sitting in the bathtub. The rose petals were hiding my body, but my bare shoulder was still visible. 
It wasn't even allowed for me to reveal my full face to anyone, but here I am, naked in front of a priest.


Worship and Desire

I put her in my arms, her small body wrapped around my black cassock as I slowly picked her lifeless body from the blood-covered ground, my own body was breathless, fear shrouded my mind and my heart rinsed with pain watching blue marks on her left cheek, dry blood all over her pale face, teeth chattering and her skin cold as ice, even after I put her in my bed and wrapped her fragile body in warm blankets. 


It didn't take long for the fireplace to warm the entire small room, but she was still shivering, her eyelashes blinking rapidly as tears glided down from her closed eyes, yet she wasn't waking up, and I could do nothing to help her, all I could do was watch her in pain, and terror with teary eyes. 


What the hell I am supposed to do...if only I could take her pain away, but I couldn't, I could do nothing but curse myself for leaving her alone, how much I wish to go back in time and stop myself from leaving her...if only I could.
