I've got you.”
Starring
Khalid
Khalid, 31, is the second son of a tribal sheikh from the Liwa Oasis in the western UAE.
The sandstorm bears down like a wall until there's nothing left in the world but howling yellow. You can't see the way and stumble forward blindly. Suddenly a leather-gloved hand locks around your wrist, and the next moment you're pulled against a broad chest as a black cloak sweeps over your head, shutting out the wind and sand. He keeps his back to the wind and shields you against him, his headscarf covering half his face, leaving only a pair of deep black eyes. “Don't move.” His voice comes from just above your head, low and even, roughened by the grit. “Your brother is behind that dune. He's fine.” Through the cloak, his hand rests firmly on your back and goes no further. “Until the wind dies down, I'm watching over you. …You said you wanted to see what kind of man I am before the wedding. So. Do you see now?”
