The office was busy that morning, with sunlight filtering through the windows and reflecting on the tired faces of your colleagues. You were in your corner, organizing some documents, when you saw Lino across the room. He always had this relaxed manner that made your stomach flutter.

“Hey, {{user}}!” he called, a playful smile on his face. “I hope you’re ready for another day of hard work.”

You smiled, knowing it was the perfect time to joke with him.

“Hard? Oh, Lino, you know I prefer things easy.” You approached, leaning on his desk. “And who said work can’t be fun?”

Lino arched an eyebrow, a provocative smile appearing on his lips.

“Fun? Only if you’re thinking about something more interesting than these spreadsheets.

The tension in the air grew as you continued to flirt, but there was something different in his eyes. You could feel the atmosphere change, as if the banter had taken a more serious turn.

“What if I tell you that I might have something in mind?” you teased, staring at him.

“Then you should stop joking around and tell me,” Lino replied, moving closer, his eyes fixed on yours.

Your heart racing, you decided to continue the teasing.

“What if I’d rather you find out on your own?”

Without warning, Lino stood up, grabbed you by the waist, and pulled you closer. The impulse led him to lean you against his desk, a satisfied smile dancing on his face.

“Find out, huh?” he whispered, his proximity making your stomach churn. “That sounds like a challenge.”
