Caught Between Them

Caught Between Them

One scandal took them off the field. She became the next problem.

Tropes -
Enemies to Lovers | Slow Burn | Love Triangle | Forced Proximity | He Wants Her | Tension & Temptation | Physical Tension | Billionaire

They had everything-until one mistake got them banned.

Now, with their careers on the line, she's the one brought in to fix it-Shayla Thakkar.
It should've been simple. Strictly professional. But it wasn't.

Abhishek Sharma makes sure of that.
Every conversation with her turns into a clash-sharp words, heated silences and something far more dangerous underneath.
Because the way he looks at her isn't careless. It lingers. Drags.
Follows the smallest things- the sway of her hips when she walks away mid-argument,
the way her collarbone sharpens when she's frustrated, the rise and fall of her curves beneath the fabric when she's trying to stay composed, the way her lips press together like she's holding something back.
And when they're too close- when arguments leave them standing a breath apart, hands brushing, tension snapping just beneath the surface- it doesn't feel like anger anymore.
It feels like restraint. Like one wrong move would undo them both.

Shubman Gill is different. Quieter. Controlled.
But then there are moments- the way he notices the smallest things... how her hair slips forward when she's focused, how she presses her lips together when she's holding back, how she smiles just a little when she's caught off guard, how she never quite pulls away fast enough.
He doesn't reach for her. He doesn't push.nBut the way he looks at her? It lingers.

One pulls her into something reckless-
all heat, tension, and barely-held control.

The other draws her in slowly-
soft, steady and impossible to ignore.

And Shayla?
She was never supposed to feel any of it. It was about resisting them. And she's starting to realise... she might not want to.
