Forbidden attraction (The stars book 3)

9: Misty mornings

*Zara*

 I wake up as Nara walks into my room the next morning. "Morning my child. Have you slept well ?"

 "Morning dear Nara. Yes, I have slept wonderfully". I stretch and sit up in bed, for once feeling kind of happy.

 Nara walks to my closet and starts looking through my dresses. "Will the yellow dress with the blue trim be okay for today ?"

 "That is fine Nara, but would it be okay for me to get 10 minutes of fresh air in the garden first ?" I just remembered my promise to Dean and I am honestly frightened he will be gone if I have to dress first.

 I am not even sure what compels me to do this, but I just have to see him.

 Nara looks at me kind of surprised, but then she nods. "Of course my child, I will make everything ready while you are in the garden".

 I quickly jump out of bed, smoothie down my long white lace nightgown. Then I open the door and hurry outside.

 The cool damp ground is being rapidly heated by the morning sun, shrouding the garden in a fairy-tale mist.

 I can see him standing by the tree, the sight makes me gasp slightly. Apparently he didn't have time to dress either, as he is only wearing a pair of blue silk pyjamas pants, hanging low on his hips and kind of sticking to his skin in the damp air.

 He hasn't seen me yet and I can't help looking at him. His body is huge, not like Imad who is getting more and more fat, but bulging with muscles. He looks to be in perfect shape. His skin is covered with dark hair and cute beauty marks.

 *Dean*

 I hurried out into the garden when I woke up. Afraid she could disappear before I got there. I cannot risk not seeing her.

 What on Earth am I doing ? I know this is such a dangerous path to head down. To be honest I am sure I have already crossed several forbidden lines, but I am unable to stop.

 And now I see her, walking slowly towards me through the morning mist, like the vision of true beauty and for a moment I forget how to breathe.

 She is wearing a floor length very demure white lace nightgown. But as the desert sun rises above the wall it lightens her from behind and I can see the outline of her body perfectly through the dress.

 "Good morning Zara". It comes out more as a strangled croak, as I fight to keep full control of my body and my mind.

 She lifts her face and her eyes, looking up at me. A soft smile lightening up her face. 

"Good morning Dean. You came".

 "Of course I came. I don't think I could have stayed away even if I tried". I swallow nervously, unsure if I am being too honest here.

 She stops right in front of me, her teeth leaving little cents in her soft looking bottom lip. "What are we doing here Dean ? You know this is... forbidden, right ? We could both get in such trouble if anyone was to see us here, together".

 "Yes I am very well aware, and still I can't seem to stop myself". I answer her, feeling how my heart is beating way too fast and my throat is as dry as the desert outside these walls.

 She is still looking at me. Her dark eyes calling to me and her lips slightly parted as on a soft moan. I know I shouldn't, but without a second hesitation my hand reaches to grab her chin softly, tilting her head slightly back. My head lowering itself, letting my lips find hers.

 *Zara*

 I have only been kissed sparsely before. Imad is not really a fan of that kind of affection. And this... this is very different from anything I have ever experienced before.

 His lips are so warm and soft against mine and without thinking about it my hands slide around his neck, holding his face close to mine.

 I know that what we are doing is so very wrong and dangerous to both of us. I don't even dare imagine what Imad would do, how he would react if he caught us. But I can't stop, hell I don't want to stop.

 When I feel how his tongue run along my lips, tracing it with a wet softness, I am not really sure what he wants, but the sensation makes me gasp and suddenly his tongue is invading my mouth.

 I have most definitely never been kissed like this before. His tongue is inviting mine for a sensual dance and I give in, letting my instincts take over and my tongue follows his, hearing him moan softly into me.

  "Zara ? Zara where are you ? It is time to get dressed". Nara is calling me from the doorway.

 I jump away from him in a flash, knowing I look rather panicked. What had I just done ?  "I… I need to go now".

 "Please, when can I see you again Zara ?" His hand grabs mine softly, stopping me effectively from leaving.

 I feel so much like crying right now, knowing that I can't see him again, not like this. It is simply too dangerous. It's dangerous for me, but also very much for him and I don't want to see him hurt. "Sorry, but I think it's best if we don't see each other in private again".

 The sound he makes is causing me physical pain. It is a small choked up sound filled with unimaginable pain. "No..".

 I rip my hand from his grasp, unable to handle it any longer and almost run back into my own room. My heart is pounding and my lips are still burning from his kiss.
