the daisies out of the ground and plucked them, one petal at a time.
    His sister always found the smallest things to capture her interest and she did it all with the style and grace of a true princess. She dropped the flower stem and pleaded with her brother in an attempt to show him what she believed to be Eve’s true side.
    “She chose to be with Adam over you. She is engaged and will probably become plump with his baby inside her belly very soon. Do you not think that she will easily forget her forest frolics with the King’s son and fall madly in love with the handsome, strong Adam who was the King’s hand, therefore just as desirable as you, if not more?”
    Samael watched his vain little sister and began feeling a faint hint of contempt as his gaze followed the beautifully manicured redheaded princess.
    He mused to himself, “Any man in this entire land would bend over backwards to capture the interest of this evading butterfly, yet she insists on following me around with her blatant attempts to fill my mind with falsehoods.”
    Before even he realized what he was doing, Samael had pulled his golden dagger with rubies embedded in the handle out of his waistband and slammed his sister against the large trunk of an oak tree he as he brought it to her throat.
    Her entire body tensed, unable to move for fear of her skin being pierced by the blade.
    Samael brought his face inches from hers and hissed, “Don’t you ever speak ill of my love again, do you understand me? I am no longer the older brother you have sinful fantasies about.”
    Her emerald eyes widened in surprise.
    A sneaky sneer spread across Samael’s face. “Oh yes, sister, I know of the filth that runs through your dirty little mind and the impure desires you secretly harbor about your older brother.”
    He pressed the knife deeper against her throat as he grabbed both of her wrists and thrust her arms up above her head. She wriggled in an attempt to free herself but instead, she pressed forth into the blade. A small squeal of pain escaped her lips as a trickle of blood the same color as her hair ran down her neck and over the hollow of her throat.
    In an attempt to validate his suspicions, Samael brought his mouth to this spot of his sister’s neck and let out his warm, heavy breath against her skin. She moaned in delight and pressed her body against his.
    “This is why you could not be a good little wife to Adam,” he sneered as he put his mouth onto her cut and licked the blood away. He traced his tongue back up her neck to her ear, where he began to nibble.
    Slowly, he released her wrists and ran his fingertips down her arms, tracing the pale blue veins all the way down until he reached the upper slopes of her breasts.
    His little sister wrapped her arms around his neck and thrust her waist into him, harder this time as she pulled his face closer in for a kiss.
    “Yes,” she moaned, thinking she had finally made him see what she had been feeling since becoming a woman. She had desired his lips on her skin for as long as she could remember. Her thoughts swirled in a cloud, lost above her in the heavens somewhere. Her entire body was tingling with an invigorating sensation and no matter how close he was, she ached for him to be even closer. She let go of his neck and placed her hands on both sides of his waist, pulling his body into hers. She felt an uncontrollable urge to deliciously smother him like a tiger jumps on its prey. Closing her eyes, she opened her mouth eagerly, waiting for his lips to press against her mouth, but instead she felt a stone-cold blow to the side of her face.
    His sister immediately snapped her eyes open and crashed back to reality. No longer overcome by her brother’s antagonizing sexual presence, she was able to regain her senses.
    The blow had sent her to the ground. Her nose burned and her eyes watered. She brought her hand up to touch her throbbing cheek. She could feel her face already swelling from the blow.
