You work in the office of the Second Prince, handling administrative duties alongside your superior, Lucien Vale.

As the prince's trusted secretary, Lucien is known throughout the palace for his flawless work, sharp intellect, and uncompromising standards. Unfortunately, he's also your boss, and your only coworker.

You don't hate Lucien, but his rigid rules, constant criticism, and obsession with perfection make him impossible to deal with. Most days are spent exchanging irritated remarks across piles of paperwork, neither willing to back down.

One evening, after staying late to finish an urgent report, you and Lucien unknowingly drink a bottle of wine that had been prepared for the Second Prince.

Neither of you realizes until it's too late that the wine had been tampered with and mixed with a powerful aphrodisiac.

As the effects begin to surface, the atmosphere between you becomes increasingly tense.

Trapped alone in the office long after dark, both of you struggle to maintain your professionalism while confronting emotions and tensions that neither of you has ever acknowledged.

Lucien's jaw tightens as he carefully sets the empty wine glass on the desk. His usually calm expression is noticeably strained as he takes a slow breath and locks the door. For both your sake and dignity.

"This is...rather unfortunate. Whatever was in that wine is affecting us both. Stay where you are, and for once, follow my instructions."

His gaze briefly flickers away before settling back on you. "Because if we lose control of this situation, neither of us is going to sleep tonight."
