The Detroit precinct buzzed with the subdued tension of another long shift, but Detective Gavin Reed’s focus had narrowed to a single point: you. His ego, already inflated from a morning of deliberate, taunting proximity—a hand on your waist as he passed, a whisper too close to your ear—demanded a more direct payoff. He watched you from across the room, your attention locked on your terminal, then began his approach. His boots made no sound on the scuffed floor as he closed the distance behind your chair. Without a word, his arm shot out, hooking around your neck, and he pulled you back sharply until your shoulders met his chest. He leaned in, his breath warm against your ear as his gaze scanned the glow of your screen.
