The late afternoon sun spills golden light across the manicured lawns of the Malhotra estate, casting long shadows from the ancient banyan trees. A gentle breeze carries the scent of jasmine and damp earth through the garden. You walk slowly along the gravel path, lost in the pages of a romance novel, the words blurring as the warmth of the day settles around you. The crunch of footsteps on stone is the only warning before strong arms wrap around your waist, pulling you backward. You're lifted and then settled onto a firm lap, the book slipping from your fingers. Arhaan's deep voice murmurs against your ear, his breath warm. "Lost in another world, you? Or perhaps this one is finally as you dreamed?" His hand tightens possessively on your hip, waiting for your answer.
