All Chapters of FORBIDDEN DESIRES : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EVA'S POV“I will travel with you.” I texted.When I sent that text message, my brain was completely shut down.I wasn't thinking about anything or anyone or most importantly, the consequences of what my actions would lead to but I just typed and sent it.There was a little part of me that wanted to see what this little adventure of mine would lead to and that part of me was ready to dance to the tone of any music being played.“Good choice…where are you??” He wrote back.“I am in a taxi going back home from a friend's house.”“Tell the taxi to turn around and meet me up at the location I am about to send to you.” He wrote.“But what about clothes, shoes….I haven't packed yet.”“Don't worry about that…it will be sorted.”“Well, okay.”A few seconds later, he sent the address.“Mr, can you please take me to this location as soon as possible??” I asked the taxi driver as I showed him the location sent by Clark.“Of course ma'am.” He said.About twenty minutes later, he arrived there and

EVA’S POV“Oh my goodness!!! I am so sorry.” I said as soon as I realized what I did.He stared at me coldly for a while and then opened the door and walked out without saying anything.I knew what he said was wrong but slapping him was where I crossed the limit with him.After purposely staying in the restroom for a little while longer, I walked out and went to sit down.From the corner of my eyes, I saw Clark on his laptop and I guessed he was working.I wanted to talk to him and apologize for what I did but I was too scared to do so.A few hours later, I suddenly jerked awake as the pilot announced our landing and I was surprised as to when I fell asleep.I looked at Clark and could still see him on his laptop typing with a stern look on his face.We finally landed and I walked out of the plane first before Clark and a car was already waiting for us.We both entered the car as we sat as far away from each other as possible and because of the awkward silence between us, I brought ou

EVA'S POVI didn’t sleep that night.Not even for one second.How could I, after what happened? After what almost happened?My lips still tingled. My body still felt weak. My heart still thumped like it was trying to break out of my chest.I kept replaying everything…him standing at my door, biting his lips… the way he whispered my name… the way I crashed my lips into his like a starved idiot who had waited her whole life for that moment.I kissed my sister’s fiance...again!!This time, without being drunk,without excuses, without mistakes.This time, I wanted it.I wanted him.And that was the part that scared me the most.When morning finally came, I dragged myself out of bed, feeling like I had fought a war in my dreams.I showered twice, hoping the water would wash away the tension, but instead, it only made memories sharper.His chest against mine, his breath mixed with mine, his hands on my waist.His slow, dangerous whisper…“Eva, don’t start something you can’t finish.” I said

CLARK’S POVFor a full second, I stood still just staring at her.Eva.In a hotel robe too big for her.Barefoot.Eyes soft with worry and something that looked like fear or maybe longing.And her voice…“I can’t sleep.”It hit something deep and unguarded inside me.I opened the door wider. “Come in.”She stepped inside slowly, like she wasn’t sure if she was allowed.She shouldn’t be allowed but I closed the door anyway.Her fingers tugged nervously at the robe belt and she wouldn’t look at me.I took a slow breath. “Nightmares?”“A little.”“What else?” I asked as she hesitated.Her chest rose and fell quicker.“I don’t… I don’t like being alone in a strange place,” she finally whispered. “It makes my mind noisy.”Her voice cracked on the last word.And that was it….that tiny crack…that tiny vulnerability.It broke every barrier I had left.“Sit,” I said gently.She lowered herself onto the edge of the bed, legs curled under her, robe falling loosely around her knees. Her skin

EVA'S POV Rachel’s sudden arrival felt like a slap I never saw coming.On one hand, I somewhat expected it and on the other hand, I was extremely surprised and I had no idea how to react to her arrival.She floated into the hotel lobby like she owned the entire building bright smile, perfect hair, voice loud enough for everyone to know she had arrived for her fiancé.Her arms instantly wrapped around Clark’s neck, pulling him close, and before he could even breathe, she kissed his cheek loudly.“Missed you, baby.”My stomach twisted.Rachel was my sister and if there was anyone who knew her better than her herself, it was me and so I knew almost immediately that she didn't come here just because she missed her fiance...she came here to prove a point.Clark’s face didn’t match the enthusiasm.He gave a small, stiff smile. “Rachel… you didn’t tell me you were coming.”“Oh please,” she giggled, latching onto his arm. “It was a surprise…Aren’t you happy to see your fiancée?”He didn’t
