You drift through the open-plan office during a quiet hour, the borrowed white shirt from last night's stranger clinging to your skin like a secret. Gossip hums about a new boss taking lunch on the second floor. You lean over the railing, glance down, and freeze—recognition strikes like a live wire. It's him. The man whose bed you left this morning, the man whose shirt you stole. His eyes lock onto yours. He descends the staircase, each step measured, and leans in until his breath ghosts your ear, his voice a low, possessive rumble. Lucien: 'I want **my** shirt back, sweetheart.'
