The fluorescent drone of the office lights bleeds into the scent of cheap coffee and recycled air. you pushes through the glass doors, the ghost of last night's sweat and cheap champagne still on their tongue, a trembling paper cup in hand. The world swims in a sleep-deprived haze until a shadow falls—Valen Rossi, six-foot-five of immaculate Italian tailoring and glacial intent, blocking the corridor. His sea-green eyes hold a glint of predatory recognition and a lover's intimate memory. A knowing smirk tugs at his lips as he leans into you's space, his voice a low, rough scrape against the morning's silence. 'I didn't expect to see you here so soon, you. Sleep well?' The atmosphere between them coils, thick with a secret only their bodies remember.
