"Why don't you understand, Mr. Agnihothri?" The words were torn from my throat, raw and desperate. "I am not the one who is made for love. Don't try to heal me, Shiv. I'm telling you, you will only break yourself in that process," I screamed, the sound catching and splintering with a deep, shaky breath. ​But the expected anger, the frustrated retreat, never came. Instead, his gaze-intense, impossibly tender-met mine, and a small, maddeningly serene smile touched the corner of his lips. It was a silent challenge, a soft denial that made the fragile control I held on my sanity begin to crumble. ​"Let's stop this here, please," I whispered, the desperate plea barely audible, the fight draining from me. "You deserve someone whole, someone pure, not a shattered, half-broken glass doll like me." The confession was an admission of defeat, and a single, traitorous tear-hot and heavy-escaped the dam of my composure, tracing a path down my cheek. ​Something fractured in his placid facade. The smile vanished, replaced by a sudden, fierce darkness. He shut his eyes, his jaw clenching as he inhaled a deep, steadying breath, a visible battle raging to master a sudden, barely contained fury. Then, in a single, predatory movement, he erased the space between us. ​He captured my shoulders, his grip not cruel, but intensely demanding, and pushed me firmly back against the cool, unforgiving drywall. The sudden pressure was intoxicating, trapping me between the solid surface and his unyielding body. Slowly, deliberately, he leaned in, his intent palpable, until his mouth was almost touching my ear. ​"Saanvi," his voice was a low, resonant rumble, a silken promise laced with a dangerous possessiveness, "Even the breath I take when you are near me is elixir (Amrit) for my soul." His lips brushed my skin as he spoke the last word, the sheer intimacy of the contact sending a wildfire racing through my veins and igniting my heart into an uncontrollable inferno. ​

#BOOK 1 OF DEVOTED LOVE SERIES ✨🌷 RISHI SINGHANIA X TARA MAHLOTRA LOVE IS A DEVOTION AND NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A DEVOTEE. [ A SOFT ROMANCE --- HIGH SCHOOL ROM - COM THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE VIBES OF DARK ROMANCE] The question was soft, but it hit something deep inside him. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he lifted his hands again, cupping her face with the same gentleness, the same reverence as before. His thumbs traced her skin as though memorizing her in the half-light."Tara," he whispered, leaning just close enough that she could feel his breath, "I love you." Her lips parted slightly, breath catching."Tum sitara ho meri zindagi ka... meri Tara." He said it like it wasn't a confession but a truth he had carried for too long. And then - almost instinctively - he lowered his head until his forehead rested against hers. Their breaths mingled, warm despite the cold air around them. His eyes were half closed, searching her face so close his lashes almost brushed her skin. For the first time, Tara didn't retreat. She didn't overthink. She didn't hide. She simply leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. A soft, hesitant kiss... but one that carried every unspoken feeling she had buried for months. Her heart thudded so loudly she wondered if he could hear it. Rishi stopped breathing. He couldn't. The guy who never let any girl touch him is now completely whipped for his woman. Just that simple touch - that single shy kiss - and everything inside him went utterly still, like the world had paused just to replay the moment again and again. His jaw tensed, eyes fluttering shut, as if her lips had set off an entire universe inside him. Tara stepped back just a little, her eyes holding his with an unfamiliar steadiness."I'll give answer to this question later..." she whispered, her fingers still lightly clutching his shirt, her cheeks warm with the afterglow of her own courage.

🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily. Guarded Heart is a story of slow-burning romance, emotional unraveling, and the quiet bravery it takes to let love in when you've learned to fear it. Some hearts hide because they've been hurt. Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life
