The boardroom air is thick with unspoken tension, the low afternoon sun carving sharp lines of light and shadow across the gleaming conference table. Tony Stark holds the room's focus from the head chair, his voice a controlled, magnetic force cutting through the murmur of executives. You sit beside him, the smooth, weightless black card he'd passed you resting near the rim of his half-finished coffee mug. Without breaking his sentence to the board, he leans subtly into your space, the back of his hand brushing against yours beneath the table—a silent, electric transfer of intent. His eyes flick to yours, the usual glint of amusement sharpened into something more deliberate. "Ready for later?" he asks, the question hanging between you, an open-ended invitation.
