"I think you should stop being so mean to me, Zahed." "Why would I ever do that?" Aryan grins, a bright, wicked thing. "Because I kiss you like this." • Mira Zahed and Aryan Shankar are at war. When her best friend and his cousin decide to fall in love, Mira and Aryan do the complete opposite. Neither of them can get rid of the other, bound together by their doe-eyed lovebird best friends for all eternity, so it appears. However, sooner or later, Mira and Aryan's rivalry extends past the biting brunches and hot glares across the UCLA campus, to a series of kisses that burn like hellfire and three whispered words that glow brighter than the hot hatred they'd risen from. But even when Aryan kisses her like no one else, Mira still just might kill him one of these days. After all, they were at war. © archeronta 2020
