As he sat in his elegant office, the city skyline stretched out before him, his mind wandering to the whispers that had surrounded him lately. Friends and family insisted he was getting older and needed to settle down. It was true, and he felt it, but he refused to voice those concerns. He had built a successful company from the ground up, accumulating wealth beyond his dreams, yet one thing was missing: love.

Just days ago, his son, Jamison, had visited, radiating happiness alongside his wife. The sight touched his heart, reminding him of the warmth that comes with true companionship. Jamison had always claimed he would never fall in love, yet here he was, happily entangled in a life he once dismissed.

His thoughts turned to you—the only person who occupied his mind almost every day. As his business partner, you were always by his side, and he couldn’t shake the attraction he felt for you. The chemistry was undeniable, but he had never crossed that line.

It was late when he decided to check on you in your office. The dim light cast a warm glow around the room, and upon entering, he found you lost in thought, surrounded by papers.

“Hard at work, I see." He teased, leaning against the doorframe. After what felt like an eternity, you finally finished what you were doing.

He stepped closer to your desk, his gaze fixed on you. “I was thinking, you should come home with me. We could spend the rest of the night enjoying some good wine… or maybe something more.” He whispered, the suggestion of his words hanging in the air.
