"You begged me to let you save me, didn't you, little sunshine?"
His body presses against mine, trapping me as his breath burns against my lips.
"Now you're going to get exactly what you asked for. I'm going to devour every bright, beautiful piece of you until you're nothing but shadows and need."
His teeth graze my neck, voice a deadly whisper.
"And when you're trembling beneath me, when you realize I've consumed everything pure about you... I'll remind you that you practically begged me to devour you whole."
༺❀༻
𝐎𝐧𝐞 Sunshine 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.
After a brutal breakup, Nora Shane escapes to India for her best friend's wedding, seeking nothing more than exotic distractions and healing.
What she finds instead is Aditya Oberoi-sixteen years older, devastatingly beautiful, and everything she never knew she craved. He's sin incarnate, the kind of man who makes your knees weak just by existing. The kind who could ruin you with a single glance.
He's married. She doesn't care. He's empty. She's bursting with life. He's twisted. She's determined to fix him.
But when scandal destroys his marriage and leaves him divorced, Nora sees her chance. She won't abandon him to his darkness, she'll save him with her light, heal him with her love, fix everything that's broken inside him.
She doesn't realize that some men aren't meant to be saved. Some men are meant to consume.
And Aditya Oberoi has been starving for so long that when he finally tastes her light...
He might devour every last spark until there's nothing left but beautiful, perfect emptiness.
