"I'm ordering you to love me," Nadiya's voice wavered, though she tried to sound firm. Her eyes locked onto his, daring him to defy her.

"I'm your boss now. You must follow my commands, Asif."

"You think love is something you can order?" he asked quietly, his voice gravelly and low.

Asif leaned in, his lips brushing dangerously close to her ear, his breath warm against her skin. "I follow your orders, Nadiya. But not this one. Love doesn't work that way," he murmured.

His fingers slid up her arm, grazing her skin, and her body tensed under his touch. "You can ask for my loyalty, my protection, even my life. But love? That's something else entirely."
