---------------------
Rudrakansh's gaze burned as he hovered over Avantika, his hand tracing the delicate line of her jaw, as he said in a low, intense voice. "My little butterfly... you're too fragile for a man like me. Yet here you are, daring to land in my grasp."
Avantika, breath catching, her eyes fierce as she meets his gaze, her heart racing. "Maybe this butterfly isn't as fragile as you think. Maybe she chose this darkness."
His fingers wrap around her neck in a gentle yet firm grip, pulling her closer a little closer. His voice drops to dangerous whisper, fierce and possessive. "You forget... once you landed here, you became mine. And I don't share, Avantika. Not now, not ever."
Avantika smiles, challenging him, her fingers tracing his jaw. "Then stop talking and prove it."
With a growl, he captures her lips fiercely, his hands tangling in her hair as their breaths quicken. The air between them is thick with desire and possession, each touch, each kiss a promise that binds them tighter, a passion that leaves no room for escape.
