They hated each other.
Academic rivals. Family friends. Nothing more.
Years apart felt like freedom-
Until fate brought them face to face again.

𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒔...
I kissed her back. Once.
Twice.
But then I forced myself to pull away.
Her eyes fluttered open in confusion.
I cupped her face gently, brushing my thumb across her cheekbone. "l'll hate myself tomorrow if I take advantage of this moment."
"I'd never hate you," she whispered, eyes heavy-lidded. "You're the only place I feel safe."
And it hit me harder than the kiss.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
𝑺𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆...
I broke the kiss, breathing heavy, my forehead resting against hers.
"You belong to me," I whispered, voice raw. "I'm your husband, Ruhi. Not him. Me."
She swallowed hard, her lips still trembling.
"I know," she whispered. "I didn't mean to-"
"No. Listen to me."
He cupped her face, firm but not rough.
"You're mine to hold. Mine to protect. Mine to kiss. Mine to fight with. Mine to lose sleep over. Not some asshole who thinks a toy will get him what he wants."
