My Beloved Step-Brother

"I hate you," I whisper, breathless as his fingers trace the curve of my waist.

His lips curl into a smirk, that same cocky, stupid smirk he's always worn.

"Say it again, Princess. Louder this time."

His voice is deep, smooth like yet dangerous and addictive. My body betrays me, arching into his touch even as my mind screams this is wrong.

Vihaan Reddy, my new step-brother.

The man who ruined my life the second his father married my mother.

We were never meant to share a house, let alone a bed.

But secrets don't stay buried, and Vihaan is hiding one that could destroy everything.

And maybe I am too.

Aarya Sharma never wanted a brother. Especially not one like Vihaan, mysterious, arrogant, and hot enough to burn her world down.
