Saint of My Sins

Aarav is rainlight - soft hands, stormy eyes, laughter like temple bells. He lives simply, dances in the monsoons, and prays in silence for peace. He has nothing to do with the underworld. And he wants nothing from it.

But someone is watching him.
A man born in blood, carved from brutality, and crowned in sin.

Aleksandr Volkhov - the most feared Russian mafia lord - is captivated. Not just by Aarav's beauty, but by his goodness. His peace. His refusal to break.
He should've walked away.
He didn't.

Now Aarav is a prayer Aleksandr repeats in the dark. A name he carves into skin. A sin he is willing to commit again and again - until the world kneels before him.

But Aarav isn't weak. He sees the shadows growing around him. And he begins to push back.
Because if Aleksandr is willing to burn the world for him...
Aarav is willing to fight it.
