Forbidden Desires!!

**Nora’s POV**

Shit, I am dead!

My first reaction was to switch off the torch I held in my hand as the darkness could be my chance of escape. The shadow was right behind me. I tried to move away, but my legs won’t work as if rooted on the floor with fear. My whole body seemed paralyzed. I sank into the depths of primal fear. I had never felt a dread so intense as before as I turned my head to look back at him. I was like being a child who just saw a dream of a monster under the bed, and no matter how I tried to ignore it, the urge to look under the bed to check if the monster was still there and brace for the worst never went away. The same thing was happening to me right now. I was breathing heavy with fear, and the scream was just ready and waiting to be let out for help as my eyes slowly faced the shadow.

There was a dark silhouette of a body; this can be attributed to the darkness inside the cave. The face was in a deep shadow so that I couldn’t see his features, but his eyes glowed, making him look almost like a devil. His height was almost 6 feet 4 inches, the same as Ronin and Rorik, with broad shoulders that looked like a warrior. His aura seemed stunning but as frightening as hell at the same time. His gaze seemed to be pointed at me, both freezing and fiery, looking like a natural-born killer who has just found his victim.

I instinctively switched on the torch on his face, “Rorik”, I gasped as my throat knotted in a deep rumble, “What is with you, scaring the hell out of me? You almost gave me a heart attack,” I gasped, wiping my forehead and taking a long set of breaths to gain calmness.

A usual chirpy and talkative Rorik seemed to be a bit off-hook as he just stood there watching me as a predator watches his prey. I didn’t realize what was wrong with him as his hand came on my face, and his fingers traced my lips as well as every feature, leaving a trail of heated flames over my cheeks. He covered the distance between us as his strong features, square jaw, and hard mouth came in perfect view. His features seemed dark compared to his regular self-whereas his usual blue eyes sparked the shades of black. What is wrong with him? What happened to him?

“Rorik? Are you alright?” I asked and gripped his hand to move it away from my face. He seemed to be miffed as his brows furrowed and jaw muscles became more constricted, but he turned away his face in the opposite direction for a few moments before facing me again. This time his eyes and features seemed to be normal.

“Yeah, I am okay”, he replied as he brushed his fingers through his hair. “What are you doing here?” He asked me.

“Oh! I just woke up and am now not able to sleep again, so I just took off to explore,” I said.

“A piece of advice, you should be always alert at unknown places as you never know what lurks beyond shadows”, He spoke, looking away from me. This is so unlike Rorik. Is he trying to prank me? I am scared to my bones. At first, I thought he was joking, but his serious expressions screamed that he was far away from his humorous self.

“Come, I will show you something,” Rorik held my hand and led me deep inside the cave.

“Are you taking me deep inside the caves? I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I protested, but he put his finger on my lips, “Shh”, he muttered as his fingers caressed my lips. I didn’t say anything and followed him quietly.

Soon we were at the far end of the cave, and I could sense a cold gush of night air hit me as we walked out of the cave from the rear opening. I circled my arms around my body to protect myself from the rash winds. We walked through the dark and deep untamed woods. It looked like the land here had not been disturbed for quite some time. There were many branches and roots to duck under or pull back to let us pass through. A huge fallen tree made us change the course of our walk. It seemed recently uprooted as the air around us was filled with freshly dug soil. After another twenty minutes or so of walking, I heard the sound of running water, realizing there must be a stream nearby. Rorik led the way as if he knew about the place, and soon, we stopped near it. The view ahead was a scenic beauty. The ground around the stream was softly covered with wild mosses. The length of the water-body curved its way around the rocks and stones of varying sizes.

“This is so beautiful”, I gasped as my feet spun to look around the thick wilderness all over.

“You liked it,” he said with a deep and hoarse voice, unlike Rorik’s. I guess an episode of sore throat. In the next moment, I saw him walking towards the stream as he quickly started getting rid of all of his clothes. Before I even realized to stop him, he was already out of every last piece of clothing, standing stark naked in front of me.

I tried to look away, but his impressive figure and strong body were not helping me and, even worse, not letting me think straight as I failed miserably and couldn’t help but to look at him. I was screaming with embarrassment inside while my outsides were basking in the view. I couldn’t help, but the effect of his body sparked enough flames to get my juices flowing. This was partly blamed on my pregnancy hormones, making me sexually hyper. I don’t know for how long I was staring at him, getting lost in his view that I didn’t even realize that he noticed me watching him.

“Shit”, I muttered as I turned my head on the opposite side, trying to look away from him, looking idiotically at those trees which I had no interest in.

Out of the blue, his hands came from nowhere and gripped my waist. His reaction was so lightning fast that I couldn’t help the little shriek that came out from my lips. He held me tight at one place, not allowing me to move.

My heart-rate sky-rocketed for two reasons; the first one was the reaction of Ronin when he would found out that his pregnant girlfriend was harbouring the not so innocent thoughts of his brother, and the second one was the feel of his impressive erection pressing on my back.

Hell!

If he didn’t stop what he was doing right now, my orgasm would burst.

A dark mist enveloped me as he faced me towards him. My body was paralyzed on his touch. I got lost in some form of a trance; my eyes begged for his touch. I felt the heat rush through the thin material of my top. It penetrated my skin and pierced my heart as though his touch was made up of pure sexual current. His body so close to me did strange things to my senses, making me want to touch him at forbidden places. The sexual tension from both of us made the air thick and heavy, rendering us panting.

His fingers slowly brushed the side of my top as they roamed till the end of it; his finger curled around the end and lifted it off my body, peeling it away from my skin and exposing my bare shoulders. His touch was soft and gentle. He gently laid me down on the ground as he expertly removed my clothes in silence. His eyes scanned every part of my exposed skin, and I saw his jaws twitch at the vision of me. He slowly and gently slit his tongue on my neck and collarbone, his hands cupped my breasts, and his tongue flickered over my nipples.

“Please! Stop it, Rorik!” My voice was shaking with guilt at one side, while on the other side, I was ecstatic with the pressure building between my legs and what his lips were doing to me. His hands grabbed my thighs travelling up to my knees as he separated my legs, all the while his eyes looking intensely at me with hunger.

“No! Rorik! I said stop it, NOW!” I screamed, and my body shuddered. He parted away much to his disappointment, but a sly and devious smile formed on his lips, and he whispered in a hoarse voice in my ear,

“I waited for you for centuries. Why did you run away from your Dark Prince…My Rebekah”?

The word Dark Prince crushed through my body like a big rock. I jolted out of my trance and pushed Rorik away. My eyes followed a dark shadow exiting from Rorik as it disappeared into the dark wilderness.

“NO!” I screamed.
