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

　　The morning air felt heavy as I left Cavin in the kitchen, his intense gaze following me as I ascended the stairs. My legs still ached slightly, a reminder of the passion he unleashed last night. It was overwhelming, yet oddly comforting to see the vulnerability he rarely displayed. Cavin had a way of making everything about him—the world, my emotions, my thoughts.


　　Back in my room, I tried to shake off his lingering presence. My reflection stared back at me as I stood before the mirror, my face still flushed from the intensity of the morning. I splashed cold water over my cheeks, muttering to myself, "Get a grip, Eliza."


　　Slipping into a soft pastel dress, I brushed out my hair and pulled it into a loose ponytail. The soreness in my body reminded me of Cavin's whispers, his possessive words replaying in my mind. I bit my lip, frustrated by how easily he got under my skin.


　　A knock on the door broke my trance. "Eliza, Nikolai's here," my mother called.
