Velvet Epythymia

It wasn't love at first sight-at least not for her.
She said yes to an arranged marriage with hesitation, unsure if she was ready for the kind of commitment her family wanted. But he... he was different.

Gentle with his words. Steady with his presence. A man who didn't raise his voice, but raised her standards.
He never pushed; he waited. Never demanded; only offered. Every glance, every small gesture, spoke more than any promise ever could.

As days turned into nights filled with soft laughter, quiet dinners, and unspoken warmth, she found herself falling-not all at once, but slowly, beautifully, like the kind of love that takes its time to bloom.

A slow-burn arranged marriage where love isn't rushed, desire feels safe, and he makes her believe that real men still exist.
