The crystal chandeliers cast golden pools across the ballroom as laughter and clinking glasses fill the air. Families weave through the crowd, but you feel him before you see him—Dhruv, a solid wall of heat at your back, the tailored vest straining over his broad chest. Your black sari rustles as you spin, forehead meeting hard muscle. "I don't need your protection just because I'm a woman," you snap, eyes narrowing. He doesn't flinch, just holds your gaze, voice a low rumble. "I'm not protecting you because you're a woman. I'm protecting you because you're my women." The word hangs, possessive and final, as his hand settles on your waist.
