*Forbidden Love*
Chapter 1
"I won," Carly announced, sitting back in her chair, triumphantly.
Lorenzo just grunted as he looked at the backgammon board, hoping that something would miraculously happen so that she wouldn't win, again but it didn't.
"Again," She continued, as if reading his mind. "Cough it up," She reached out her hand.
He rolled his eyes and dug in his pants pocket for the twenty-dollar bill that he owed her. He took it out and carefully placed it in her hand.
She stood up and smirked down at him. "Well Mr. Alcazar, it seems that I'm just too good for you."
He stood up as well and met her eyes. "Looks can be deceiving,"
For a couple of moments, they stood just like that. All tense and serious.
Finally Carly started to laugh. "You should have seen your face," She said between breaths. "All scrunched up like this." She scrunched up her own face. "And you looked like you were going to burst."
He continued to stare at her until finally he smiled. At seeing that, Carly smiled. "Why Lorenzo, I didn't know you were capable of a smile."
He actually chuckled at that and Carly gasped in mock surprise. Suddenly she was aware that he was standing so close to her and she stopped laughing. He leaned forward and gently caressed her face. She knew she should but she didn't pull away. Taking that as a sign, he leaned in closer and gently kissed her. Carly was spinning and then suddenly he pulled away. "Sorry," He mumbled and walked out of the door.
Carly flopped down on the bed, her eyes wide. What had she just done? She was married; she had a son and a new baby on the way. She rubbed her stomach as if proving it. For a couple of minutes, she had forgotten that she was a prisoner and he was her captive. For a few minutes, it actually seemed like he was the old Lorenzo. The sweet compassionate one that he had been with Sophie. She shook her head, as if willing the thoughts to disappear. She touched her lips and couldn't help but smile at the memory of what had just happened. She knew that she shouldn't have let him kiss her but she couldn't stop wondering when, if ever, it would happen again.
