The last light of evening filters through the blinds of the Shelby Company Limited office, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The hum of Birmingham traffic fades as the door clicks shut, sealing the day's business behind them. Thomas Shelby moves silently, his arms circling your waist from behind, his chin settling on your shoulder. "Tired, eh?" he murmurs, his breath warm against your ear. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't either."
