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 soft sound of Eliza's breathing filled the room as I adjusted the blanket over her. She had finally fallen asleep after hours of clinging to me, her exhaustion overtaking the sheer terror she'd endured. Her cheeks were tear-streaked, her hair disheveled, and her fingers still clung loosely to the edge of my shirt even in her sleep.


　　I didn't move for a moment, watching her fragile form. My chest tightened at the thought of how close I'd come to losing her. The idea of anyone laying a hand on her, taking her away, made my blood boil. But for now, she was here, safe.


　　With a deep breath, I gently pried her fingers from my shirt, tucking her hand under the blanket. She stirred slightly but didn't wake. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before stepping away, my footsteps deliberately quiet.


　　I needed a moment to think, to clear my head. But mostly, I needed answers.
