Haq-e-Junoon(The Unyielding Right)...

The mansion was alive with the sound of laughter, music, and the sweet fragrance of crushed marigolds and rose water. It was her elder cousin's mehndi night, and the entire estate was bathed in warm golden light....

Sitting on a low divan surrounded by her sisters and friends, Shehnaaz looked like a vision straight out of a dream. Draped in a heavy, ice-blue embroidered sharara that shimmered under the chandeliers, her dark long hair was loosely braided on one side, adorned with fresh jasmine strands. At eighteen, her innocence was captivating...every time she laughed, her dark eyes sparkled, her delicate cheeks flushing a rosy pink...

Sidharth stood near the marble archway, a glass of cold water held loosely in his broad hand. At thirty-two, the eldest son of the family was a towering, intimidating presence...clad in a dark, tailored kurta, his sharp beard and dark, pitch-black eyes making him look formidable. He hadn't seen his little paternal cousin in ten years, not since she was a little girl playing in the courtyard.

Now, he couldn't take his eyes from her. A dark, possessive heat was already brewing in his chest, watching the way her soft lips parted when she laughed, the way her delicate waist shifted under the silk fabric....

Just as he turned to walk toward the main guest area, the hushed, excited voices of his mother and his Phuppi (Shehnaaz's mother) caught his ear near the foyer.

..Hamari Shehnaaz hai hi itni pyari! Har kisi ko pasand aa rahi hai... his own Ammi was saying with a proud smile, adjusting her dupatta... Aaj hi uske liye teen rishte aaye hain. Ek toh ladke waale keh rahe the ki ladka doctor hai, aur do saal intezar karne ko bhi tayyar hain kyunki Shehnaaz abhi sirf athara (18) ki hai na...

Shehnaaz's mother sighed thoughtfully...ji, lekin ladka aur ghar dono bohot achhe hain. Dekhte hain uske Abbu kya kehne wale hain... baat aage badha sakte hain....

Boom....

In a single microsecond, something dark, lethal, and completely unhinged snapped inside Sidharth's mind....

His jaw clenched so hard the muscles in his cheek bulged. His dark eyes flared with an unholy, dangerous fire...Rishta? Teen rishte? Kisi aur ke liye ?...what the hell..... The very thought of another man even breathing her name, let alone touching a single hair on her delicate head, made his blood roar like wild flames.

Without a word, Sidharth turned on his heel and walked straight into the back of the estate....

A few minutes later, the heavy brass anklets on Shehnaaz's feet chimed softly against the tiled floor as she stepped into the kitchen. She was holding a decorated silver platter, coming to pick up fresh sweets for the bride-to-be....

She didn't expect anyone to be inside there ...

The moment her dark eyes fell on the towering, broad figure of her eldest cousin standing near the center , Shehnaaz froze. Her heart gave a sudden, violent thud against her ribs. She had been secretly stealing glances at his handsome, stern face all evening, blushing furiously whenever his dark gaze accidentally caught hers.

Aap... she whispered timidly, a deep crimson flush instantly spreading across her cheeks down to her fair neck. She kept her eyes lowered, nervously holding the edge of her silver platter, attempting to quietly step past his broad frame toward the sweet trays....Main... main baji ke liye mithai lene aayi thi...mewing in low barely audible tone she tried to pass him.

She didn't even make it two steps....Before she could draw another breath, a large, broad hand shot out like an iron clamp, wrapping with ruthless, unyielding power around her small, delicate wrist..

Ah... Shehnaaz gasped softly, the silver platter clattering onto the counter....

With effortless physical strength, Sidharth yanked her fragile body back, spinning her around and slamming her back flush against the marble edge of the kitchen counter...

Before she could process the shock, Sidharth stepped directly between her open knees, his towering, heavy frame completely trapping her against the hard marble. His broad hands slammed onto the counter on either side of her waist, shadowing her tiny figure completely under his dominating presence.

Ye ...aap....Shehnaaz whimpered, her breath hitching in her throat, her big, innocent eyes widening in pure, breathless panic as she looked up into his dark, terrifying face.

Sidharth didn't back away. He leaned down until his sharp, bearded jaw almost brushed against her flushed, burning cheek. His hot, heavy breath fanned over her collarbone, his pitch-black eyes burning down into her trembling, parted lips with a wild, possessive hunger that made her knees turn into water....

Teen ,teen rishte aaye hain ..?... Sidharth growled, his deep, gravelly baritone dropping into a dark, lethal pitch right against her ear, his broad hand sliding down her wrist to grip her narrow, bare waist with an intense, biting pressure that made her arch her back against him. Tujhe lagta hai main kisi aur gair mard ko teri iss kamar ko haath bhi lagane dunga, Shehnaaz...?...

Shehnaaz's breath caught violently in her chest, her small hands instinctively pressing against his rock-hard chest as she trembled beneath his weight...

C...chhodiyee... koi aa jayega... she sobbed out in a raspy, breathless whisper, her innocent eyes brimming with tears of extreme shyness and sheer panic as she felt the massive, dangerous heat of his body pressing flush against her delicate frame...it was dangerously pressing her soft breasts ...which she can't able to take it....please... sidharth jii ..

Sidharth's dark eyes flared with an even darker, wilder hunger hearing his name tear from her trembling lips. Instead of releasing her, his thick thumb dug mercilessly into the soft flesh of her waist, pinning her completely to the marble...
