"Untie me," he said.
Avira hesitated, caught off guard by his sudden shift in demeanor. "What?"
"Untie my hands," Veeransh repeated, his tone steady and unyielding. "Let me prove it."
For a moment, Avira debated whether to comply. She didn't trust him-not completely-but her pride refused to let her back down. With a determined nod, she stepped forward and began untying the ropes that bound his wrists.
The moment his hands were free, Veeransh moved like lightning. He stood up and closed the distance between them in a heartbeat, grabbing her by the waist and pinning her against the wall with a force that made her breath catch.
"Veeransh!" Avira gasped, her eyes widening in shock as her back hit the cold surface of the wall. She instinctively placed her hands against his chest, trying to push him away, but he didn't budge.
"What were you saying earlier?" Veeransh murmured, his voice low and dangerously seductive. His lips were so close to her ear that she could feel his warm breath against her skin.
"Let me go," Avira demanded, her voice shaking with a mix of anger and something else she couldn't quite identify.
Veeransh chuckled softly, his grip on her waist tightening ever so slightly. "What's wrong, my baby?" he asked, his tone teasing. "Are you enjoying the moment?"
"Stop calling me that!" she snapped, her voice rising as she tried once again to push him away.
He didn't move. Instead, he leaned in closer, his nose brushing against her temple. "You don't even know how hard it is for me to control myself," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion.
"Control yourself?" Avira repeated, her voice dripping with disbelief. "You're insane!"
"Maybe," Veeransh admitted with a small, self-deprecating smile. "But I'm insane about you."
What will happen next? Will their love prevail, or will the darkness of their pasts tear them apart? Can they defy destiny and forge a future together, or will they remain forever star-crossed?
