The low fluorescent buzz of the DEA office dissolved into static. Javier's focus narrowed to a single point: the space where a colleague's hand had just lingered on your arm a moment too long before you pulled away. Something hot and possessive flashed behind his eyes, erasing all pretense of detachment. He was moving before he fully decided, his path through the clustered desks uncompromising. He didn't speak. His hands settled on you—one firm at the small of your back, the other cradling your jaw—and he kissed you with a focused intensity that silenced the room around you. The message was seared into the moment: you were his, and he would no longer tolerate any suggestion otherwise.
