FORBIDDEN LUST

CHAPTER 2

Marilyn's POV

I've only met Alexander Smith once or twice while Reed and i were dating. The first time I locked gazes with him, something about his demeanor drawed me in and his eyes pierced into mine as though searching through my soul.

I felt hot at the touch of his hand and weak in the knees as I gAlexanderily sniffed in his scent as he embraced me. I immediately did my best to compose myself at the time, thinking it might just be a fleeting hormonal disturbance because I hadn't had s*x in a while.

I had s*x with Reed for the first time ever on that day and... I imagined him as his brother, which gave me the ultimate pleasure. From then on, I've been fantasizing about him and he's been frequenting my dreams. I've always wanted to know what it would be like if I had met him first.

"Hello, Marilyn. You must be overjoyed today." Alexander said chuckling a bit. I couldn't respond, how could I? He shouldn't have called my name. Why did he just have to call my name?

"Hello? Marilyn?... she's not answering. Are you okay?" He asked

I immediately cut off the call and dashed into the bathroom to calm myself down.

"Hey Marilyn, what's wrong." I heard voices as they knocked on the door. I really am in love with Reed, I'm deeply and hopelessly in love with him. But Alexander sparks up weird desires within me that are impossible to control. And so, for the sake of my relationship with Reed I'll just have to avoid Alexander, no matter what.

I took a deep breath, calming my nerves down and then I opened the door of the bathroom. "Guys, let's finish up with this already, it's my wedding day!" I cheered and they all cheered with me.

The make up artist said she wanted to do a little touch up and so did the hair stylist, and so I sat on the dressing table as they did their work on me. The stylist finished up quite quickly and even helped me with my jewelry. Finally, the makeup artist stepped back, admiring her work with a satisfied smile. "You all look absolutely stunning. Congratulations, Marilyn. It's time to go."

Heart pounding with anticipation, I cast a final glance around my old apartment, today I'll be leaving and the next time I walked in, it won't be my home anymore. I looked towards Maria who was standing with the other girls, she looked at me as though she could tell what I was thinking, and I knew she did. She seemed to be doing her best to hold back her tears, and soon she couldn't take it and embraced me tightly.

"I don't care about marriage and whatever, I will always be your second home. And whenever you feel down even if it's at 3am you know I'll be awake waiting for your call okay. And if you need someone to wake you up early just call me and I'll make sure every electrical appliance in that house awakens you." She kept rambling while holding onto me tightly.

"Oh Rya.... I'll miss you too. And don't worry, our deal still stands. Between you and the world, I choose you." I reassured her. "I choose you too." And together we walked out of my apartment to be awestruck.

Parked in front of our building was a luxurious, elegantly decorated car, adorned with ribbons and flowers. We exchanged excited glances, unable to contain our joy.

As we hopped into the car, the engine purred to life, and we drove off to the wedding venue. I felt a lot of exhilarating emotion all at once, excitement, nerves, and sheer happiness.

Arriving at the venue, we stepped out of the car, greeted by the grandeur of the place. The whole place was parked with loved ones, the soft music playing, and the scent of flowers in the air made me feel even more relaxed.

As the soft melody of the wedding march filled the air, I stood at the entrance of the aisle, my heart pounding in my chest. The moment had finally arrived— the moment when I would walk towards the love of my life, Reed.

I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of emotions coursing through me. Nervousness and excitement intertwined as I locked eyes with him, who stood at the end of the aisle, his eyes were filled with love and anticipation.

With Maria by my side, I began my slow and steady walk down the aisle. Everyone's eyes followed me as I made my way towards Reed. I looked towards my Mom who was seated at the side with her younger brother, I could tell by the look in her eyes that she wished my Dad was here to escort me down the aisle. But he is not, he left us years ago and we never heard from him ever since.

I finally got to the altar only to be met with a crashing wave of helplessness and unease. I looked at Reed's side to find Alexanderol standing next to him and the thought that it was Alexander I was getting married to brought butterflies to the pit of my stomach.

I stood at the altar, my hands trembling as I looked out at the crowd of people gathered to witness my wedding. I couldn't help but wonder if I am making the right decision. Reed is a good man, but something was missing. As I glanced at Alexander, standing next to his brother, I felt a jolt of electricity run through her body.

I quickly looked away, hoping no one had noticed. But when I glanced back, Alexander was looking directly at me, his dark eyes filled with something I couldn't quite identify.

My heart started to race as the ceremony began. I tried to focus on the words the priest was saying, but my mind kept wandering back to Alexander.

As the ceremony ended and the guests began to file out of the church, I felt overwhelmed by an uneasy feeling. What would happen now? Would marrying Reed really end the things I feel for Alexander?

Just then, Edward's hand was on my arm, gently pulling me away from the crowd. "We need to talk," he said, leading me to a quiet corner. Talk? In private?
