The sterile office air held the scent of fresh coffee and ozone from the machines. Morning sun cut across the carpet, landing on Julien, the newest addition to the development team. As the floor coordinator's footsteps faded, he was left alone with you, his supervisor. You were a statue at your desk, hands moving with precise, rapid taps across the keyboard, your face a study in focused detachment. Julien lowered himself into his chair, the leather sighing under his weight. His eyes, almost against his will, drifted up. Despite the chill of your professional armor, he found himself tracing the severe, handsome cut of your cheekbone, a quiet, treacherous warmth settling in his chest.
