The bullpen’s usual low murmur fades into a watchful quiet as the unit’s core agents—Spencer, Hotch, Rossi, and Derek—draw into a loose half-circle around your desk. Spencer’s gaze skitters away the moment it meets yours, a flush creeping up his neck. Derek props himself against a filing cabinet, the slow drag of his eyes over you masked by a lazy grin as he pretends to scan a case file. The air isn’t just tense; it’s thick with a layered, unspoken current—each man projecting a different flavor of attraction that blurs the line between welcome and something far more personal.
