I was sitting there, waiting for his next move. It took me by surprise when he effortlessly lifted me from my seat before he took my place and finally settled me on his lap.
It felt uncomfortable straddling him. Aside from our bodies being so close to one another, I can smell his familiar cologne and feel his warm, minty breath brushing against my exposed skin. He pulled my wrist and started checking the cuts and bruises caused by my struggle to break free from the ties. He reached for the cotton and alcohol from the first aid kit and started pouring some alcohol on the cotton. He was about to dampen it on my cuts when I snatc**ed my hands away from him. I saw his eyes darken and his jaw clench upon seeing what I did. But I didn't let his intense gaze intimidate me.

He just grabbed my wrist back. "I never said you couldn't," he replied casually before he started cleaning my cuts with the cotton.
The moment the cold, wet cotton touched my wounds, a sharp pain shot. through me, making me wince involuntarily. His reaction was immediate as he leaned in and gently blew on the cuts while trying to ease the sting. The warmth of his breath against my skin sent a wave of conflicting emotions crashing over me.

As he continued to clean my wounds with meticulous care, I co 'dn't help but steal glances at him. His touch was gentle, as if he genuinely cared about the pain he was causing. But how could that be? How could someone capable of such ruthlessness now be the same person offering me this small kindness?
I bit my lip, trying to suppress the turmoil inside me. The softness in his actions was breaking down the barriers I'd put up to protect myself. My heart was betraying me. I hate the fact that my heart responds to the warmth in his eyes and the way his hands moved with such precision and care. It felt as if there were two parts of me at war-the part that remembered the pain he'd caused and the part that was inexplicably drawn to the gentleness he was showing now.
When he finished, he didn't pull away immediately. His fingers lingered on my wrist, his thumb brushing lightly over the newly cleaned skin as if he were reluctant to let go. I looked up at him, my breath catching in my throat as our

I could feel the tension coiling between us, thick and suffocating, as our dies remained pressed together.
