Through the Flames

Her eyes blaze with defiance as she inches closer to him, her breath mingling with his.
"You really think you can break me? Try me."

His smirk turns into something darker, a mix of amusement and something deeper.
"Oh, I'm not trying to break you meri jaan. I'm trying to see just how far you'll go before you give in."
He grabs her wrist, pulling her closer, his voice husky-
"And trust me, you will give in. Every woman does eventually."

She glares at him but her body betrays her, heart pounding in her chest.
"I'd rather burn than let you win, Kabir. But then again, you might enjoy that, wouldn't you?"

His lips curl into a dangerous grin, his free hand brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Burning... sounds like fun. But I think I'd rather see you scorch me with that fire of yours. And believe me Meera... I'd let you."
His voice drops to a whisper as he leans even closer, their lips almost touching.
"But don't fool yourself... I'll be the one controlling the flames."
