Sarah's POV" I think, I am accepting the none-too-subtle invitation, that was given. " He said with a smirk." Invitation?? What invitation? How dare you say and do such a dreadful thing? " I demand an explanation." Dreadful? Really? Now you are playing innocent all of a sudden?? Trying to be a simple girl, getting hard to get? " He said." What rubbish!! It seems you are one of those men who think that they are god's greatest gift to women and they can't say no to you, and even if someone manages to say no, it means yes only. According to such men, she is just trying to be hard to get." I said gritting my teeth as I could not create a scene here with so many people around. Though when I looked around I saw almost no one on the terrace." Is it?? Don't you know that if a woman wears a dress like this with sheer, silk stockings like this, she is doing it to gain attention from men and wants to be looked at and touched? " He said and somehow I became furious all of a sudden.I was fur
Sarah's POV" Still sulking, hiding here?? " Chris asked." Sulking? Hiding? Why would I do that?? " I replied." Great!! Since you are fine, let's get to know each other as we are going to be related now. "" Some other time perhaps, as I have some important work. " I said and turned to go away but he caught my wrist just like my stupid fantasy earlier. His strong, tanned fingers curled around my pale and delicate wrist." No, we need to talk right away." He said and pulled me back." Leave my hand immediately!! "" What if I don't? " He hardened his grip on my hand." What is your problem? Don't you understand simple English?? Or do you get special pleasure in forcing yourself on women?? " I asked clenching my jaw." Do you find pleasure in exciting men and when they respond to your not-so-subtle invitation, you say that they misjudged you? Do you get a thrill from hurting men?? " He asked.I didn't know about me getting a thrill from hurting men but I wanted to rip this man apart,
Sarah's POV" As I already told you, I was planning to tell everything to Nate and his family. I would have broken their relationship and got their wedding canceled as I knew that they would not accept a girl with that kind of character in their family. I would not let a chit of a girl, take advantage of my sweet cousin. " He said looking into my eyes and I was sure that he would do that without a second thought.I stood there, stunned by his audacity and the ultimatum he had just given me. The weight of his words pressed against my chest, threatening to suffocate me. This man, whom I didn't even know, held the power to shatter my sister's relationship, destroy her happiness, and tarnish our family's reputation. It was a heavy burden to bear.As I gathered my thoughts and tried to compose myself, I looked into his eyes. They were filled with a mixture of anger, suspicion, and a touch of something else that I couldn't quite decipher. The silence hung between us, thick with tension and
Sarah's POV" It was me, why else do you think, I am getting nervous and behaving weirdly to see you here? I had no idea that you were Nate's cousin, or I would never have flirted with you drunk or not. I didn't know you, as you must have come very late for the engagement while I was too busy helping my parents with the arrangements. " I retorted." So you have no problem in flirting with me if I was not Nate's cousin?? Can you explain that? " He threw another question at me." I don't know how to explain it... It is easier to talk to a stranger than someone related to you, I guess. Now please excuse me. I need to talk to my mom. " I excused myself before he could say anything.I was getting suffocated there and was feeling very hot all of a sudden. So I rushed to the garden.**********As I sat in the garden, seeking solace from the chaos of the party, a sudden shift in weather brought a cool breeze that sent a shiver down my spine. Despite the chill, I resisted the urge to retreat t
Sarah's POVHe was kissing me, but not roughly or forcefully as I had expected him to do in such a situation, but in a sweet subtle way, as if the touch of our lips was a delicate dance, a graceful interplay of tenderness and passion.I had read somewhere that the beauty of the kiss lay not in its force or aggression, but in its gentleness and subtlety.At that moment, as our lips met, a symphony of emotions unfolded.The kiss was imbued with a profound sense of connection and intimacy. It began with a soft brush, a caress that sent a shiver down my spine. The pressure of his mouth moving against mine was so caressive, so knowing, yet so persuasive, that l I simply didn't have any defense against it.My mind didn't want this intimacy, but my body was reacting differently, and I was worried that he was also aware of how much my body was reacting to him.I tried to stop myself but was unable as my body was not following my mind's command and was giving him the response he demanded. He m
Sarah's POV" Thanks!!! You are the best sister in the world. Thank you for making Nate and Christopher believe that it was you who went to the club, kissed James, and flirted with me. "" I still think that you should have told Nate about it, it would have been much better and easier. Please tell him, he is madly in love with you, I am sure he will understand and forgive you. "" No!! It would have affected my relationship. What is the use of telling him the truth now?? See the matter is already over now. He thinks it was you, not me." She was grinning." It is not over yet, Christopher still doubts the story we told him. He is adamant it was you. He wants me to go on a date with me. " I said." What is the problem with that?? You played your role very well in front of him. I am sure you can handle one more date. " She said with a big smile." No, I am not going on a date with him. " I said firmly." Sarah!! You can't do that to me. " The smile had vanished from his face." No!! I ha
Sarah's POVMy heartbeat had increased many times while talking to him, but I relaxed a bit after I ended the call. It was time to go to work so I drove to my office.I had started working on the latest project where I was supposed to restore and decorate an old castle, which was at least 4 centuries old, as per its old glory.It was a very prestigious project for me and all the designs were almost ready. I was planning to start working on it after Sanya's wedding as I had to go out of the city and live at that place till my work was completed.I was very happy about it as it was like adding another feather in my cap.The last stages of designing were going on. I shrugged and started working.Merely half an hour had passed when my phone started ringing again, it was Sanya, I was annoyed with her so didn't pick up the call.But then Nate called up and I had to take it." Hello!! "" Hey, Sarah, are you busy??" He asked." No, not much... I was working on my latest project in my office.
Sarah's POVWe moved from one dress to another, admiring the intricate details and discussing the pros and cons very seriously.Together we selected many dresses some according to her style and some as per Nate's mom." Great!!! Now will you please try them?? " Nate said to Sanya." What?? You want me to try all the dresses? No way!! Are you out of your mind? "" But how will we get to know, if it fits you and looks good on you?? " Nate tried to persuade her." No, I don't want to try all of them... Sarah, you try at least half of them. "" But why should I, you are going to wear them ultimately, so try the ones you want. " I said. But Nate requested me to wear some of them. I could not refuse his request as he asked me very sweetly.I took a few dresses and went to the trial room. I wore the first one and came out. I saw that Sanya had also tried one. we all liked both the dresses and decided to change to the next dresses. We changed again and came out, Nate liked the dress I tried,
