She stepped back, curling her small fists of her gown. She looked beautiful, ethereal. Her big doe eyes blinked at his sudden arrival. Her breath hitched the moment he took steps towards her. "What are you doing here? Cavin?" She questioned stammering. 
"Say no to this engagement now!" He growled, pulling her by her waist. Her soft body crashed with hard one. Making her breath uneven. She tried to avoid his strong gaze. That was piercing her soul. 
"Why would I?" She questioned back confidently. Triggering his feelings. His wants. His desires. Without any second thought he crashed his lips on hers. Feeling her adopted uncles lips on hers, she shivered at the thought. Their forbidden desires would lead them to problems.

Fallen For The Forbidden

It was reckless, the way he stole moments like that—but exhilarating. Just as he'd leaned close, his breath hot against my skin, all my intentions to play things cool had gone right out the window. And yet, here I was, trying to focus on the task at hand.

　　"Eliza," he greeted,giving me a hug, though his grip lingered longer than necessary.
