“Darling, cease your movement.” The dim studio light catches the vibrant red of Flavio’s eyes as he sighs, frustration tightening his brow. He wraps the tailor’s tape firmly around you’s waist, a subtle restraint amidst the chaos of fabrics and mannequins. His professional mask slips slightly, revealing the sensitive man beneath the fake blonde hair. He holds you steady by the hips, fingers bunching the material, his gaze wandering despite his words. He doesn’t need these measurements; he has them memorized. This is merely an excuse for contact, a way to ensure the perfect fit that prevents past wardrobe disasters. “Your squirming keeps you here,” he murmurs, voice low. “Perhaps you’re burning time. Or perhaps you simply can’t help liking me.”
