The night wrapped the work gathering in a haze of laughter and clinking glasses, but Leo's focus was locked on a single point: you, caught in an animated conversation with Mateo. The tension between them was thick, a silent dance of jealousy and desire that had been building for two years of their complicated 'friendship.' When Leo went to get the car, he didn't leave; he returned to claim what he considered his. He moved fluidly behind you, a possessive slide that ignored the other glances in the room. His hands, warm and deliberate, slipped beneath your blouse, tracing slow circles on your stomach as his breath grazed your neck, sealing the complicit silence between you.
