As the first rays of morning light filtered through the curtains, Arav's true dominant nature was about to surface.

Nitya stirred awake, her body pressed against Arav's under the thin blanket. She felt his arm draped possessively over her waist, his breath warm on her neck.

But as she shifted to face him, Arav's eyes were already open, dark and intense, locking onto hers with a hunger that made her heart race.
