The King And His Forbidden Destines - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

Late on a rainy and thunderous Thursday night David is leaving work from downtown Cincinnati. He rushed from the building to his car soaking wet he quickly started the car and pulled off to head home.

The storm was calming to him, therapeutic almost, yet he for sure wanted to get off of the roads as it was becoming dangerous to drive with the strong winds, and heavily pouring rain.

Ten minutes into his drive he noticed a woman walking on the side of the freeway, he was no fan of picking up strangers, but it was dangerous out, the least he could do was offer her a ride.

He slowed beside her as she walked slowly, her arms were crossed and tucked to keep herself as warm as she could, as she shivered severely. The look on her face clearly was one of sadness, and hurt.

"Excuse me ma'am would you like a ride home?" He asked, in a calm, deep voice.

She slowly began to stop walking and looked over to David...

"I, mean you no harm Ms. No one should have to walk out when the weather is this horrible."

"Okay..." She replied

David grabbed his umbrella from the back seat, opened his door and hurried towards her to help her in the car. He opened the passenger side door and covered her head with the umbrella and helped her in then got back in himself and pulled off.

"Thank you..." she said softly, as her voice slightly cracked.

David turns up the heat on the passenger side of the car to give her warmth.

He couldn't help but notice how lovely she looked. There wasn't much light out given it was late, but through the dimly lit night and low dashboard and interior lights inside the car he could make out her beautiful melanated light skin, and long soaking wet dark curly hair.

Her arms were still folded. She wore a red sleeveless, turndown neck deep V-neck sundress. Her long slender neck was dawned with a gold layered platted paperclip chain necklace with the letter "D" embroidered on the coin which sat comfortably between her exposed cleavage.

Her nipple print was piercing through her dress as they were cold and hard. Which distracted him as he drove. He began to take off his coat and reached over to cover her,

"I can see you're freezing over there, here, take this,"

"You don't have to do that." She replied softly

"Yes, I do. I don't like seeing shiver like that and if I can be of service will.

She looked over to him, and him to her. Tears were streaming down her high cheekbones and delicate skin. A slight smirk resided on her luscious, thick lips and her shoulders sat back in relief at his kindness. She grabbed his coat with her soft hands and white french tip nails. David put his eyes back on the road lest they crash.

Thank you. I really appreciate this. You didn't have to pull over and offer me a ride."

Her voice was filled with warmth. She turned her head back to the window towards the sky.

"I know it's none of my business, but must ask, how in the world did you get caught walking in this storm?"

"Well...." She responded, her shaking again

"My... boyfriend... put me out..."

In this storm?" He objectected calmly, yet angrily.

"Yes... She answered.

David was pissed, he thought to himself "How the hell could a man put a woman out in a storm like this? What a bitch!

"My God, I'm, so sorry to hear that..."

It's, okay... She exclaimed.

"No, no that's not, but it will." He assured her.

"You weren't able to call an Uber?"

He took my wallet when he threw me out, I barely was able to grab my cell phone...

David was so pissed it began to show in his face.

"Do you have any family to call?*

None that live in town, plus... It's complicated... I... Don't have anyone... or anywhere to go..." Her voice broke almost sobbing.

David's heart sank, it deeply bothered him to see her in pain.

*It's okay, everything will be okay He attempted to sooth her.

"What's, what's your name?" He asked, seeking to comfort her.

"D... Destinee" She responded while wiping the tears from her eyes. They came to a stop light.

"Destinee? That's a lovely name. Destinee, my name is David She looked to him, and him to her.

Listen, Destinee?"

"Yes?" She answered softly

"I don't normally do this... But if you'd like... You can stay at my home tonight. Until we get things figured out."

David... You don't have to do that, I don't want to be a burned, you've been kind enough just offering me a -

No, I insist. You have nowhere else to go and throwing you back out in this storm is unacceptable, trust me... You're no burden I promise! He assured her, with compassion.

He gazed at her, and her to him. Her hazel eyes pierced his soul, He was uncontrollably smitten by her beauty, yet he restrained as best as he could.

She wouldn't normally do this, but for some unexplainable reason she felt she could trust him.

"Okay..." A slight warm smile rested on face.

"Yes... I'll stay tonight"

David smiled back captivated by her.

Perfect... David responded.

They drove another 15 minutes in the car, silently, it wasn't an awkward silence, put a peaceful silence. Every now and then Destinee would look Davids' way observing him without being too obvious. She examined his mocha melanated skin. She could tell he was a well maintenanced man from how well groomed his full beard was, and clean shaven his bald was. His spotless car emitted a hint of vanilla-carmel through the vents rendering a relaxing and therapeutic sensation, along with the smooth jazz quietly playing from the stereo.

They pulled up to the driveway of David's home.

"Wow!..." She remarked

David's home was a nice two story colonial style home, dark brick and black shutters.

*You must be doing well for yourself?" She said.

"I do okay, not where I'd like to be, but it'll do for now."

They pulled into the garage.

Before he got out of the car he asked her to

"Wait right there please?

He walked around the car and opened her door.

*Really?... You're such a gentleman."

"I do my best... He answered with a gentle smile..
