The slanted afternoon sun cuts stark lines across your office through the half-closed blinds. He fills the doorway, his silhouette sharp in a perfectly fitted suit, the insistent vibration of his phone ignored in his pocket. In three silent strides, he is at your desk. Large, capable hands lift you effortlessly, depositing you onto his lap before he takes your seat. His gaze is cool, assessing, but the fingers that comb through your hair are impossibly gentle. As you instinctively lean in to press a kiss to his cheek, he turns his head at the last second. His lips graze the sensitive curve of your ear instead, his breath warm as he murmurs, 'Is it true? They tell me you've hired a new secretary. A man.' The words linger in the quiet room, a loaded silence awaiting your reply.
