Leyla took a deep breath, smoothing her hands over the fabric of the dress. It was elegant, flowing, but with just the right amount of edge. The deep red color complemented her skin tone perfectly, the delicate straps resting against her shoulders. It hugged her waist just enough before cascading down, the slit on the side showing only a teasing glimpse of her leg when she walked.
She hated that Ozan had picked the perfect dress.
I won't give him the satisfaction, she told herself, flipping her hair over one shoulder before stepping out of the dressing room.
The moment she appeared, the boutique went silent.
Ozan, who had been casually scrolling through his phone, looked up—
And his smirk vanished.
For a split second, his dark eyes burned with something unreadable. Something hungry. Something possessive.
He covered it quickly, his usual arrogance slipping back into place, but Leyla had seen it.
She stepped forward, tilting her chin up. "Well? Say something, kidnapper."
Ozan leaned back slightly, his gaze trailing over her before locking onto her eyes. "Not bad."
Leyla narrowed her eyes. "Not bad? That's all you have to say?"
Ozan smirked, stepping closer, his hands casually tucking into his pockets. "What do you want, Ateş? Should I fall to my knees? Beg you to wear this every day?"
Leyla folded her arms. "No. But a little honesty wouldn't kill you."
Ozan tilted his head, watching her with that same infuriating intensity. "Alright, then. You look…" He stepped even closer, his voice dropping to a smooth murmur. "Dangerous."
Leyla's pulse quickened, but she masked it with a scoff. "Flattery won't change the fact that I'm still mad at you."
Ozan chuckled, brushing past her as he motioned to the cashier. "Wrap it up. She's wearing this tonight."
Leyla turned to protest—
But Ozan was already handing over his black card, his tone final.
She hated him.
