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

Xenia flinched beside me, " Everything?", she repeated, her voice was low and I hadn't had to see her face to know that I made her sad by saying that. Jesus, I am so foolish...got so overwhelmed by emotions that forget it's Xenia I am talking to, talking about my past lovers to her. If I were her, I would have been so furious and jealous by now, and with that thought, I tilt my head and met her sad ocean eyes, " Forgive me, I..." 


But then she smiled, " It's fine father, tell me about her.", she said, and I looked at her face for any sign of sadness, but there was none, her curious eyes were glued to my face. I sighed, " You don't need to..." 


" But I want to...now, tell me.", she pressed more, making me sigh deeply.
