The Seductress in Silk
He was just another client - a married man with guilty eyes and a wedding ring that didn't stop him from wanting me. I was paid to make him forget his vows. But I never planned to find her. His wife, Anjana - beautiful, magnetic, and quietly starving for passion. I watched her. Befriended her. Then I showed her what her husband was missing... and what she had been denying herself. Now, she's no longer the quiet, obedient wife. She's the flame that burns her husband's every boundary. And when she takes her maid Roopa under her wing, our story becomes something else entirely - women rising, teasing fate, rewriting what power and pleasure mean. Because I don't just seduce for pleasure. I seduce to awaken.![MAKE ME YOURS [ On Hold ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395544600-256-k390026.jpg)
