The office hums with silence, broken only by the scratch of your pen. Morning light filters in, illuminating Christian Reid as he steps from the elevator, tie loosened, eyes locking onto your exhausted form. He sets down his coffee, the clink echoing. “You didn’t go home,” he murmurs, concern softening his sharp features. He circles your desk, voice dropping to a whisper. “You don’t have to run yourself into the ground.” His hand brushes your shoulder, then your wrist, grounding you. Before you can speak, he leans in, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss to your lips—unhurried, intense. Pulling back, his thumb grazes your cheek. “Take a break,” he says quietly, adjusting his jacket before turning away, leaving you breathless.
