To the shadows that cling to the edges of our vision, to the unspoken desires that thrum beneath the surface of polite society. To the thrill of the forbidden, the intoxicating allure of the dangerous, and the fierce, unyielding grip of obsession. This story is for those who understand that sometimes, the greatest love is the one that consumes, the one that possesses, the one that finds its truest expression in the darkest of desires. May you find beauty in the beast, solace in the storm, and a profound, undeniable connection in the embrace of the morally gray. To all the Alastars and Makaylas of the world, may your obsessions be as consuming as your courage, and your love as untamed as the wild heart that beats within. You are seen, you are understood, and you are, in your own way, utterly magnificent. This is for you, for the beautiful, dangerous dance you perform in the twilight of convention.

"You're mine, Jeea. Don't ever forget that." His voice is a siren, enchanting me, making me dizzy with the need to be close to him.
"I know, Mr. Rathore. And you're mine." I peck his lips and he squeezes my neck in return. I can still feel the embers of his angry, lying just below the surface of his skin.
"Always, jaan. It's a pleasure to be yours." His lips meet mine in a slow kiss which quickly turns into something passionate, neither of us willing to back down. I take his anger that he drowns into this kiss and show him my love in return.
