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 room was quiet, But in my mind, chaos reigned. Shadows of my past torment clawed their way into my dreams, dragging me back into that dark ship, the sinister laughter echoing in my ears.


　　In my dream, I was back in that room—the one with the gilded walls and heavy scent of danger. I saw the Sheikh's face, his greedy eyes devouring my fear. My body trembled as his shadow loomed over me. I screamed, calling for help, but my voice was swallowed by the darkness.


　　"Cavin!" I yelled in my sleep, the sound tearing through my throat as I bolted upright. My chest heaved as I tried to catch my breath. My eyes darted around, desperate to ground myself in reality.


　　Strong arms wrapped around me suddenly, pulling me close to a solid chest. My panicked breaths began to slow as I recognized the familiar scent of leather and cedar.


　　"It's okay, Eliza," Cavin whispered against my hair. His voice was soft but firm, grounding me. "You're safe now. I've got you."
