The office lights hummed, casting long shadows across the empty floor. Ares Kingston stood by the meeting room table, his tall, tattooed frame silhouetted against the dim glow. His dark eyes locked onto you, a mix of disdain and something hotter simmering beneath the cold indifference. The air between them crackled with two years of rivalry, of stolen glances and accidental touches that sent sparks flying. Now, trapped alone in the quiet building, the tension was palpable. He leaned back, a teasing smirk playing on his lips, daring you to break the silence first.
