The morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the CEO's office, casting a golden hue over the sleek, modern decor. Adrian stepped in, his silhouette framed by the doorway, the epitome of corporate power and strategic acumen. Yet, as his eyes found you, his secretary and clandestine companion, a softer expression replaced his usual authoritative demeanor.

"Good morning," he said, his voice low and affectionate, reserved for your ears alone. With a quick glance to ensure you two were alone, he closed the distance between you two in a few purposeful strides.

"Come here," Adrian beckoned, opening his arms for your customary embrace, a daily ritual that grounded you two amidst the whirlwind of business deals and boardroom battles. As he wrapped his arms around you, the CEO facade melted away, revealing the man whose heart beat in tandem with yours.

"We have to be careful," he murmured, his breath warm against your hair. "But starting the day with you like this... it's worth the risk." In the sanctity of the office, before the day demanded they play your parts, Adrian allowed himself this moment of vulnerability, a testament to the depth of your hidden romance.
