BLURB “Please… leave me. I only saved your life…” Akansha’s voice trembled as she tried to push him away. But he didn’t let her. His hand snaked around her waist, pulling her impossibly close, his body pressing against hers with a weight that stole her breath. “You made a mistake, butterfly,” he growled, his lips brushing dangerously near her ear. “By saving me… now you’re mine.” She struggled, her hands gripping his chest. “No… please. Leave me. If they find me, they’ll kill me…” A low, cruel chuckle rumbled from him. “No one can touch you. I am a devil. No one enters my clan without my permission… but you ” His hands slid over her sides, gripping her hips possessively, “you are the exception. My sin. My obsession.” Before she could step back, he pinned her against the wall. His body caged hers entirely, leaving no escape. One hand pressed against her back, the other trailing dangerously over her curves, tracing her spine. His lips buried into the soft curve of her neck, biting harshly, nuzzling, claiming. “No… this is wrong. Don’t… don’t ruin me,” she gasped, trembling under his touch, her fingers clawing at his shoulders. He smirked, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin of her collarbone as he whispered, “I will ruin you… every inch, every day… and you’ll beg me for more.” His hands roamed her body with a dark possessiveness, pulling her closer until their hearts beat in sync, and the room felt smaller, hotter, alive with a dangerous, consuming passion that neither could deny.
