"Get in," he instructed, his voice firm but low.

Asli hesitated, her eyes darting toward the door, then back to him. Defiance sparked within her.

"No," she said, her voice steady.

His gaze narrowed, and his jaw tightened. He took a deliberate step away from her.

"I won't ask again," he warned.

Still, she resisted, her arms crossing over her chest.

Suddenly, he moved, swooping her into the car with ease. She landed on the soft leather seat.

"Seatbelt," he ordered.

He sighed and fixed the seatbelt himself. He couldn't help but notice the spark of defiance still burning in her eyes. It was a flame he intended to extinguish, or at least harness.

He walked around the car, his thoughts filled with the events that had led them to this point. Her resistance was expected, but it only fueled his determination.

Sliding into the driver's seat, he buckled his seatbelt and started the engine. The soft hum filled the tense silence between them.

He glanced at her, noting the rigid posture and crossed arms.

"Why must you fight me?" he asked aloud, his voice softer than intended.

He put the car in gear and pulled away from the trailer. He was going to call someone to pick it up.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked, her voice still laced with resistance. Being seen together would raise all the alarms in the city.

"Dinner," he replied, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.

She raised an eyebrow. "You're kidnapping me for dinner?"

A hint of amusement danced on his lips. "I prefer the word escort."

They arrived at an upscale restaurant, its elegant facade glowing softly in the evening light. He parked and stepped out, opening her door.

"Out," he said, offering his hand.

She hesitated, her gaze flicking to his hand before she brushed it aside. "I don't need assistance," she said, her voice firm.

With a fluid motion, she stepped out of the car, her boots marking on the pavement. Her independence was a subtle turn-on, one he acknowledged with a raised eyebrow. What was she doing to him?

She slid into her seat, her movements confident and self-assured.

"You're quite... self-sufficient," he observed, his tone neutral.
