"You're not a choice,
you're my fate.
And no matter how far you run, you'll always be my shadow,
my echo in the dark."

NILAY

..

The golden rays of dawn spilled into the room, casting a soft glow on the man lying beside her.

Sunaina's gaze was fixed on Nilay's sleeping face while her dark eyes were brimming with an intensity that only he could evoke in her.

His sharp jawline, his slightly parted lips, the way his chest rose and fell rhythmically- it was a sight she could never tire of.

Last night's madness still burned in her veins. She had devoured him, taken him, marked him in ways no one else ever could.

They had made love until exhaustion claimed him, but not her.

How could she get tired?

No, she was not tired at all. She hadn't closed her eyes even for a second.

How could she? Not when he was here, Stamp by her, leaving purple marks all over his naked body and now, lost in dreams while she watched over him like a predator guarding its most treasured possession.

Her fingers ghosted over his skin, barely touching, yet claiming. The bruises of their passion adorned his body.

It was her marks, her proof that he was hers.

Only hers.

A slow, satisfied smirk curled her lips as she recalled the way he had surrendered to her, the way he had whispered her name like a prayer, begging for more, giving her everything.

The way, he let her take the command and waited patiently for his turn to cherish her, mark her, and fill her womb with his hot seeds.

Her obsession for him was all-consuming, an addiction she had no desire to fight. If only he knew how much she craved him, how her world revolved around him, how she would raze everything to the ground if anyone even dared to come between them.

Sunaina leaned in, pressing a kiss against his bare shoulder, her tongue darting out to taste his skin. He shifted slightly, murmuring in his sleep, completely unaware of the dark, unrelenting love that burned in her eyes.

He was hers. In every way, in this life and beyond. And she would never let him go.

Last night had been a storm - a wild, uncontrollable, desperate hunger that left no part of him untouched. But for her, it still wasn't enough. It would never be enough. She needed more. She always did.

Her fingers slid down his stomach, teasing, testing the waters of his unconsciousness. A shudder ran through his body, and her lips curled into a smirk. Even in sleep, he reacted to her. Even when lost in dreams, his body recognized her touch.

She craved to wake him, to see those dark brown eyes open and drown her in their intensity.

She wanted him to look at her the way he did last night - like she was the only thing in this world that mattered, the only thing he could ever want.

But instead, she held back, savoring the moment.

Let him sleep, for now. Because soon, she would claim him again.

And this time, she wouldn't stop until he was as wrecked, as obsessed, as mad for her as she was for him.

Leaning down, she brushed her lips over his jaw, whispering in a voice thick with possessiveness, "You can sleep now, my Angel. But when you wake up... I will ruin you... all over again."

A slow, lazy smirk curled on Nilay's lips before his eyes even fully opened. His body knew her presence before his consciousness did. His muscles tensed under her touch, and a low, rumbling chuckle escaped him as his dark, smoldering gaze met hers.

"Ruin me?", His voice was husky, still laced with sleep, but the amusement in his tone was undeniable.

His hand shot up, fingers curling around her wrist in a firm yet teasing grip. "Haven't you already done that, stamping me with color violet, my little devil?"

Sunaina's smirk deepened, her nails pressing into his skin just enough to sting.

"Not enough, Husband. I will never get enough of you". she whispered while leaning in so her lips barely brushed against his.

His grip tightened, and in a swift motion, he rolled them over and pinning her beneath him.

His body was still heavy with sleep and caged her in as his lips ghosted over her ear.

"You stayed awake just to stare at me, didn't you? How obsessed have you become, Naina?", Nilay murmured as amusement flickered in his voice.

Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him down, her lips grazing his jaw before whispering, "You have no idea, my whole heart. I would burn the world down if it meant keeping you by my side."

A dark gleam entered Nilay's eyes at her words. He had always known she was possessive, but there was something deeper, something darker in her love for him.

And the most dangerous part? He loved it.

"Then ruin me, my Violet Sin. Because I promise you, I will ruin you just the same", he murmured, his lips crashed against Sunaina's in a kiss that burned with all the intensity of their obsession.

It was not soft, it was not gentle. It was raw, consuming, and desperate. Their breaths tangled, bodies were pressing closer as if trying to merge into one.

Sunaina moaned into his mouth, her fingers threading through his hair, tugging hard, demanding more.

Nilay growled in response, his grip tightening around her waist as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against hers in a battle neither wanted to win. He tasted like fire and temptation, a man she had already claimed, yet one she wanted to claim over and over again.

Her back arched as he pressed her deeper into the mattress, his lips trailing down her jaw to her neck, where he sucked at the marks he had left last night.

She shivered and her nails were digging into his back, dragging over his skin in a way that left red trails behind.

"You stayed awake all the time watching me, hmm?", Nilay murmured against her throat, his voice a dark caress.

"Tell me, did you want to wake me up and take you all over again?", He asked and Sunaina's breath hitched, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "I still do."

Nilay chuckled, the sound sending shivers down her spine.

"Then do it. Take me, Sunaina. Show me just how obsessed you are. Let me take you too and let me show you how much I missed you, craved you, love you", Nilay dared as his eyes were gleaming with dark amusement.

She needed no further invitation. With a sudden move, she pushed him onto his back, straddling him, her fingers framing his face as she captured his lips once more.

This time, she led the kiss, taking everything she wanted - his breath, his control, his very soul.

The room was filled with heavy breaths, whispered moans, and the sound of tangled sheets as they lost themselves in each other once again.

***

A few hours later, Sunaina stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, wrapped in nothing but Nilay's oversized shirt, which barely covered her thighs.

The morning had long since turned into afternoon, but she hadn't cared. Not when Nilay had pulled her back into bed again and again, until both of them were too spent to move.

She sipped from a glass of water, her body still tingling from his touch. Behind her, she felt the heat of his presence before he even reached her.

His arms snaked around her waist, his bare chest pressing against her back as he buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply.

"I should lock you in our bedroom forever. So no one else ever gets to see you like this."" he murmured while his lips were brushing against her skin.

Sunaina smirked, tilting her head to the side to give him better access.

"And what if I let them?" she teased.

Nilay growled lowly, his grip on her waist tightening. In one swift motion, he spun her around, pressing her against the window.

His dark brown eyes burned with warning and something much deeper - possessiveness, obsession, devotion.

"You wouldn't dare.", Nilay growled and Sunaina traced a finger down his chest, her smile slow and taunting. "Try me."

Nilay exhaled sharply, his patience snapping. He crushed his lips against hers again, a bruising, punishing kiss that stole the air from her lungs.

"You belong to me, Sunaina. Only me. And don't you ever forget it", He said while discarding his shirt from her body and then he carried her directly to the washroom.
