My forbidden fruit

Just the beginning

Damon
When I was 12 Alec and I had met at camp we both hit it off almost immediately, what I didn't know is that him and his family were very powerful. After camp he invited me to come stay with him for a while and with people like Alec you don't say no so my parents told him I could as long as he wanted me too. Alec was always a cool guy and over the next 6 years he taught me how to fight and protect myself and the people I love. He gave me a home and a family, and he introduced me to his sister Kara who was so beautiful but quiet and I knew one day I would break her out of that shell but for now I needed to learn how to be a fighter so I could protect the boss. When Alec and I turned 18 his father died so Alex became the boss and I was left in the shadows to train until I was needed, but every night at dinner Kara would sit at the end of the table and not say a word unless spoken too. That how it was in the mafia, men ruled everything and women stayed quiet especially sisters and daughters of the boss, they were precious trophies to the families they were meant to bring multiple families together by marriage to make a strong front against our enemies but Kara didn't seem like the girl to marry whoever her brother chose and I liked that about her a little to much. One day as I was walking into the dungeon to meet Alec for our weekly meeting that he made me come to so I knew I was still his best friend and he was only treating me this way to earn respect from his new soldiers, I heard something in the distance but luckily Alec didn't. So he went about his business and left me in the dungeon by myself which was the way I liked it, it was quiet and no one came down here ever, until she did. Once she heard the door shut she came out of the shadows not thinking anyone was down here anymore, until her eyes met mine. She froze like she was a deer in the head lights, I looked at her and said "Kara you know you aren't supposed to be here, ever there is way to much stuff you can hurt yourself with down here." She started to pout "I know I just hate being up there, the guards won't come down here so this is the only place I can get any time alone," she paused to catch her breath, "I feel suffocated up there, no privacy, no love, and no purpose, I just have to shut up and wait for my brother to choose who I'm marrying to make our family stronger, I have absolutely no say in my life so please don't tell Alec I come down here." I smiled "of course not Kara just be careful, okay? The last thing I need is you getting hurt." She nodded in agreement I smiled and started walking up the stairs but she grabbed my wrist before I could get far. I twisted around faster then ever before and pushed her against the wall, and with our heavy breaths I looked at her and said "now Kara why did you do that, you know I'm trained to kill." She locked her eyes with mine and replied "I know but you are also trained to protect me, so don't leave me here by myself. Please stay Damon." I couldn't say no to her so I gladly stayed with her pinned against the wall, she looked at me and dropped her head to my chest and started to cry. I really didn't know what to do so I just stood there and held her in my arms and let her cry. She finally pulled away from me and apologized even though she didn't need to, she was allowed to be fragile, she was a women. But she was apologizing for keeping me from training even though she wouldn't let me leave until she was done.

As Damon and I were in the basement and he had me pinned against the wall, all I could think about was him pressing against my lips slowly so I could feel him against me. Yet I knew he couldn't because I was supposed to be married to a different mafia family and Damon was definitely not mafia which made me want him more. After Damon and I's encounter I went back to my room and sat in the window to think about everything that was going through my head, all the thoughts about Damon pinning me against the wall, what would happen if he would have kissed me or taken me however he wanted. I could see in his eyes that he wanted to do something I just couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. After a while I heard my phone ring and of course it was Alec asking me to come down to the dining room to meet other bachelor, I dreaded these moments because I wanted I be able to choose who I gave everything too not just forced so my family could be happy. As I came into the room my eyes immediately began looking for Damon and the poor bachelor didn't like that my head wasn't down so my brother quickly dismissed me to my room and I immediately ran back to the dungeon to be alone and before I knew it Damon was right behind me asking if I was okay. I obviously shock my head yes but I should have known he wouldn't believe me at all. He came up behind me and hugged me from behind and that was the first time in forever that I've felt happy to be in someone's arms.

As I held her in my arms my heart was racing one hundred beats per minute just waiting to get caught and killed by Alec but I honestly didn't care because with Kara I felt at home and at peace, even though I knew she couldn't be mine. After a while we heard the chain on the door start to move, they got locked every night at midnight. Kara and I didn't realize how long we had been standing with each other but once Kara heard the chain lock she sighed "well now I have to be here all night." I was hurt for a second but then I realized she meant she had to stay in the dungeon all night not because she had to be with me all night. I laughed and she shoved me and by god that girl is strong, she looked at me and said "it's not funny idiot it's cold down here and I'd rather be in bed." I grabbed her waist and pulled her to me "princess don't worry I'll keep you warm," I watched as her eyes fell to my lips in a daze I leaned in to kiss her but as I got close enough she pulled away with a tear rolling down her face, "we shouldn't, my brother would be mad at you if he found out." "Well then I guess we will make sure he wont find out" I replied softly she gave me a smile and lean into me and mumbled, "I hope he finds out so I don't have to marry one of his partners." I chuckled and said "oh princess you are something special and any man would be lucky to have you."
