"He was the storm she never prayed for, And yet, she was the silence he could never survive."
"You walked into the lion's den, sweetheart," he whispered, stepping closer. "And lions don't let go so easily."
He looked down at her leg, at her trembling hands, and the fear in her eyes.
"A beautiful young girl like you," he chuckled, "shouldn't have come here alone. You should have brought help beforehand, thought about your safety first."

"You planned this."
He chuckled darkly. "No. But I don't exactly leave loose ends."

He closed the door, the sound echoing through the room. His gaze roamed her face, her skin now a pale canvas of fear.

Her lips quivered as she whispered, "So... what now?Do you want me to take off my clothes?"
He froze.A dangerous silence filled the room.
His eyes darkened-not with lust, but with something messier. Angrier. Like her words had sliced something in him he hadn't expected to feel.
"Don't tempt me.I might say yes."
"I'll study hard, find a job, and clear your every penny."
