The Forbidden Blade

Chapter Thirteen

She slowly pulls away as our eyes are stuck on each other. our lips only an inch away and her hands linked behind my neck while mine was on her hips holding her close as she sat on my lap. Her gaze drops to my lips and quickly darts back to my eyes I do the same but instead of bringing them back to her eyes, my gaze stays on her bright full lips. I inch closer the peeks of our noses grazing each other. I feel her breath hitch and it proves to me I'm not the only one fighting this. I duck my head lower our lips finally touching and the warmth travels through my entire body as the soft flesh of her lips graze mine.

I feel her inch closer exactly when a loud knock comes from the door followed by Alonso's voice making us both fly in àAopposite directions.

" Alara it's me open the door"

she looks at me her eyes full of horror I know why, my brother's temper isn't any better than my father's. I sigh and stand up dusting myself off before she could and walk over towards the door

"Wait! don't-" she tries to stop me yet fails I turn the handle and slip out of the room closing the door behind me

Alonso's head tilts and confusion flutters on his face as he looks at me.

"What were you doing in there" he narrows his stare

"She needed someone to talk"

"You? and talk?" he questions putting his hands in his pockets

"What else choice did she have" with that Alonso bursts into laughter

" I bet that was one heck of a conversation are you sure she didn't end up slapping you she does have a temper" he throws his hand on my shoulder

I didn't know what to come with his words, did he think I couldn't have a meaningful conversation with her?

"Well, she still upset?" he asks making me snap out of my thoughts

"Huh, no she isn't"

"Great then thanks for doing the work for me I owe you one" he pats my back before turning on his heels and walking off

I take a deep breath clearly annoyed at my brother. I turn around back to face Alaras's room only to be frozen in place.
I can't go back in there. She's expected to marry my brother I clearly can't be doing this.

I run my hands through my hair as I stare at myself in the vanity across my bed. I was about to kiss Alexander the brother of my future husband not like he's been any more loyal but
How could I be that stupid?
I should be happy we were interrupted before things got worse but I wasn't. I wanted to kiss him
Feel him
Taste him
I only had him on my mind.
I growl and stand up from the corner of my bed. I can't fucking do this.
I'm Alara fucking Dola no man makes me this insane.
And it's not like he didn't want it either.
I walk across the large room and turn the door handle down escaping from the room that once was Alexander's mothers. 
I walk down the long hallway, not another soul visible.
I keep walking down the hall intill I see a dim light escape the study. I slightly open the door to see Alexander sitting on a desk full of papers his face buried in his hands, his elbow placed on the desk as he groans.
"Alex?"
My light whisper makes his face jolt up his eyes are dark and dull.
" do you need something" he finally speaks up
I shake my head and walk-in
" no, but I needed to talk to you"
He looks me right in my eyes and knowing him I know he knows what we need to talk about.
He stands up and uses his hand to roll down one of his sleeves that were rolled up to his elbows.
As he does that he walks closer towards me and a spark of warmth gushes through me.
" later okay, I need to get some work done" he gives a pressed nod
I'm about to answer him when he bends down and kisses the side of my forehead and walks out of the room.
He...
Kissed me?
That's not something you do to your future sister-in-law right?
