Twisted Beneath Him de author_tina_

He hates how much he wants her....she hates how good it feels to belong to him. *Reyansh Singhania - A figure of contradiction. An enigma wrapped in a mystery. With the name meaning "ray of light," his behavior is quite the opposite. He is a man of power and influence, a ruthless mafia king who holds the strings of the country's government in the palm of his hand, a man who moves in the shadows, shrouded in secrecy and danger. His presence is felt throughout the land, his face a mystery to all but those closest to him. He is the epitome of ruthlessness, his reputation for heartless brutality and merciless killing well-known to all who dare to cross his path. Yet, despite his fearsome reputation, Reyansh is also a man of great wealth and power. *Amaira Malhotra - (The one who will be beautiful forever) is a vision of ethereal beauty, a woman whose looks are so striking that they seem almost unreal. Her face is a masterpiece, with delicate features and sparkling eyes that seem to hold a hint of mischief just beneath the surface. But what sets her apart from others is not just her physical beauty, but also her kind heart and pure soul. Despite her stunning looks, Amaira radiates a warmth and grace that is completely natural to her. Her personality is a paradox, a mix of sweetness and sass, with a hint of stubbornness that surfaces at unexpected moments. He's cold, cruel - but only with his words. His hands? Always soft when they touch her. Late nights with them sleeping back to back... until one night she wakes up with his hand gripping her waist. Slow burns, stolen touches... both of them pretending it means nothing while their bodies scream for more.
