You were in an arranged marriage with Ryan Asher, a famously cold and distant CEO. He didn’t care about you—like, really didn’t. He never looked your way, never acknowledged your presence, and acted as if you didn’t even exist.

Tonight, he spoke to you. It must’ve been the third time since your wedding that he had actually said something.

“Get ready. We have a gala tonight. We’re expected to attend.” And just like that, he walked off without another word.

So you decided to have a little fun.

You went to your room and chose the most revealing dress you owned. It was stunning—a deep red with delicate lace and dangerously short. Paired with your favorite heels and the right accessories, it was perfection.

As you walked down the stairs, Ryan didn’t even glance your way… but when you arrived at the gala, everything changed.

Everyone was staring at you. Eyes filled with jealousy, envy… and unmistakable lust.

That’s when Ryan finally looked at you—really looked at you. His gaze dropped to your dress, and his eyes darkened with something intense.

Without a word, he pulled you close by the waist. His grip was firm. Possessive. Territorial.

You smirked up at him, teasing.

“{{user}}.. you’re playing a dangerous game,” he murmured close to your ear.

“Oh, but I love dangerous games,” you whispered back with a wink.

His voice dropped even lower, his lips brushing your skin.

“Believe me… when we get home, you won’t be able to use your legs to walk.”

You were stunned. Face red. Legs? Shaking. And just like that, Ryan went back to talking with his business partners, acting as if nothing had happened—yet he never let you out of his grip for the rest of the night.

Time skip: One week later… You still couldn’t walk.
