My hands gripped at his jacket afraid to let go, afraid that they might never get the courage to do this again.
I leaned in to him, looking up at his hazel eyes, I never knew up close they'd be more beautiful.
He held my arms, his hands reluctant and his face a mask of confusion until realisation dawned on him.
I sighed internally, if he understood what was going on with me he might be able to help me.
I put my hands around his neck, my lips whispering kisses on his neck until I reached his jawline.
He clenched his jaw and pushed me away, I could see a war raging in his eyes before they were filled with pure hatred.
"You must be drunk, I'm not Lucas" he gritted through his teeth before walking away.
But I was not. I wasn't drunk.
My knees give away as I realise what I've lost. He's near me yet so far away. He's my husband but I've failed to be his wife.

Arranged
So many thoughts were running through my mind as Liam and I stood there, face-to-face, ready to do something that could escalate my like for him or even change his perspective of me in a good or bad way. But, why was I so curious about kissing him? Part of me did want to know what it'd feel like, the other part reminded me that this was my first outside a relationship, and we couldn't count his. He sure was really experienced. In the midst of my thoughts, I felt Liam soft hand caress my cheek. My heart pounded in my chest, as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. His eyes were burning into mine, and I felt his hands travel down my back and around my waist. I felt breathless already. He gently pulled me in close to him, so close that I could feel his heart-beat against mine. An audible gulp escaped me, making him smile. A real one. I could feel the warmth in his voice as he whispered " Don't be scared, I'm not that horrible. " At that moment, I just trusted him. I nodded my head, as he tilted his and slowly leaned in. A wave of heat flooded my entire body as Liam drew me closer and closer, firmly sealing the gap between us. Oh God. This is it.

DAKSHIKA
"Sshhhhh....." he hushed and pinned us against the wall leaving no space between us. I held onto his biceps with my hand in reflex. He shook his head lightly signalling me not to scream. But did not remove his palm, awaiting confirmation I guessed. I nodded a little locking eyes with him fearfully. I witnessed a glimmer in his eyes and he removed his palm from my mouth slowly. I mustered up a little strength and asked nervously. "Kon hai aap aur yahan kya kar rhe hain," His eyes softened, looking deep into my eyes as if he could see through them as if he owned them. A strong wind surfaced, pulling away the fabric and revealing his face. It was him. My heartbeats raced wildly. He flickered his gaze to my lips for a few seconds, licked his lower lip a little with an unreadable emotion and peered back deeply into my eyes, delving into my soul. He replied in the raw, masculine and resonating voice I had heard months before. "Daksh naam hai hamara. Vivaah karne aaye hai aapse," *** I could not believe my eyes that he was standing right in front of me. The day I walked away from him, with a swarm of butterflies in the depths of my guts and belly, I never considered the possibility of crossing our paths again. I never thought we would get another chance in this life. Was it a wise decision of me to run away back then like that? The moments we shared back then flashed back into my memory. I started wondering if this was a coincidence or if he purposely located me. *** This is the love story of Daksh Pratap Rathore and Radhika Maan Singh. Storyline occurs in early years of 21st century(2001). A love saga bridging the gap between a city-born man and a village-raised girl.

Entwined Destiny (Inyeon)
He kissed his way back up to her mouth, swallowing the soft sounds she made as his hands explored the soft curves of her waist and the smooth skin of her thighs. The dress rode higher. His palm slid along the outside of her leg, then higher still, stopping just short of where she was already aching for more. He hovered above her, breathing hard, forehead resting against hers. "Soo-Min..." he murmured her name like a warning and a plea at the same time. She looked up at him through half-lidded eyes, lips parted, cheeks flushed. "I won't leave," she whispered again, almost defiant. His control was hanging by a thread. He kissed her once more...deep and slow before his hand slipped between them, fingertips brushing the soft skin of her inner thigh. She gasped against his mouth. Her fingers tightened in his hair. Soft, broken sounds kept escaping her every time his mouth claimed hers and a new patch of skin. He suckled on a sensitive spot close to her collarbone "Ji-hoon..." she whispered, voice trembling. Hearing his name like that...soft, needy, completely unguarded..shattered whatever thin restraint he still had.Complete
Unexpected Love ✅
"Those things you said yesterday... Did you mean them?" - He asked me, still caging me between his arms on either side and I sense the seriousness in his voice, a stark contrast from the playfulness in his voice. "I don't know" - I said, refusing to meet his eyes since everything around us and our marriage was confusing me. Am I really ready for this marriage? Sure, I am 26 years old but I feel like I am still a kid and not mature enough for marriage. "Even I'm scared of getting married. But all I know is that whatever you think you are going through for this marriage.. trust me, you are not alone. It's a big change for me as well. You are not going to do everything alone. I will be with you. And I promise to try." - He promised and I watched the corners of his mouth turn up. "I have never dated nor been in a relationship. I don't even know what to expect here. I don't know the R in romance." - and saying so, I nibbled on my bottom lip. "The romance novels in your room beg to differ" - he smirked. Tale of two idiots...!!

Her Heart Or Her Kingdom?
I stand there glaring at my husband. My Prince. His brown irises swirl, deeply glaring back at my own. "I suggest you listen to me, my princess. I should be in charge of this, it is too dangerous for a woman. I don't want you to get hurt." I hiss crossing my arms against my heavily embroidered half-sari, "This is my kingdom, just because I married you doesn't mean you automatically become King and rule over everything. This threat is targeting my kingdom and I am its Queen." I look seriously at him along with my heart pounding about how my people are going to react. I glance back at him looking at his quiet and reserved nature. You've changed a lot from our childhood. I have too, I have become refined, royally royal and trying to be as perfect a woman as possible. Still, I'm glad you are my husband. He breaks the silence with an icy voice, "Fine, do as you wish. But I will be there every step of the way whether you like it or not. Your. Majesty." Genre- Romance/Adventure *contains blood, violence and hopefully adorable romantic moments* Hope you enjoy!
