She was eleven and I was fourteen. I didn’t understand what I was feeling. I’ve never felt this way before. It was like being struck by lightning…intense, frightening and life threatening. Yes, I said it. Life threatening. You see, as soon as she walked into my life. Everything changed. She was the forbidden fruit. Innocent and untouched. The one who held my heart in her hands and she didn’t even know it. I didn’t know back then when I was fourteen how much I would love her. But, I know now. She was the one whose innocent lips I wanted to kiss. She was the tempting fruit I wanted to devour. Her body, the ultimate sin my hands needed to touch. I knew I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about her. It was forbidden. It was taboo. I was away from her for six years. I left as a child and now…I’m a man. The only man that could ever love her. The only man that could protect her. But, there is another man who wants her. He makes her do things. He wants to spoil her…destroy her. I can’t let that happen. She’s mine. Not his. He will die before he takes her from me. It’s a SIN…what I’m about to do, but she’s worth every ounce of blood that I will shed for her. I’ve killed for her before. I’ll kill for her…again. The question is…Can I save her from him before it’s too late?
