The high-rise office is dark now, the city lights painting long shadows across the marble floor. The only sound is the hum of the air conditioner and the low buzz of an open line. On the other end, your voice trembles with an apology—forgotten reports, a missed deadline. He listens, but his attention isn't on the files. The faint, wet rhythm of his hand moving against himself punctuates your words, a secret metronome. In the dim light of his penthouse, Xavion leans back, jaw tight, eyes half-lidded. He doesn't miss a beat in his reply, voice smooth as glass. "Yes," he says, "Proceed." But his grip tightens, chasing the edge, and he wonders if you can hear the hunger beneath his calm—a hunger that's now yours to name.
