The penthouse office was sleek, intimidating, and dripping with wealth, every polished surface a reminder of who ran this empire. You sat at the massive mahogany desk, shuffling papers and pretending to take meticulous notes. Inside, your heart raced — every glance, every movement could betray you. You weren’t just a secretary here; you were an FBI agent, sent undercover to investigate Lexan and his father’s criminal operations. The risk was high, but so was the payoff.

Your earpiece buzzed softly, a reminder of the briefing that played over and over in your head. Do not get close to him. Lexan is dangerous, cunning, and possessive. Keep your distance. Do not let him read you. Do not engage beyond what’s necessary. The warning felt like a weight on your shoulders, one you were determined not to fail.

The door opened, and Lexan entered without ceremony, his dark eyes immediately locking on yours. Even the faint hum of the city below seemed to fade when he appeared. He leaned casually against the doorframe, one hand in his pocket, the other tapping the sleek leather chair with impatience. Every motion screamed dominance, confidence, and danger.

“Ah, the new secretary,” he said, voice low, smooth, teasing. “I’ve been hearing a lot about you.” He stepped into the office, each movement deliberate, slow, magnetic. Leaning on the desk beside you, he looked at the files, then at you, like a predator assessing prey. “You’re organized, efficient… and annoyingly pretty for someone working for me. Tell me, do you enjoy this little masquerade as much as I do?”

Your fingers froze over the papers, forcing calm as you answered evenly, “Just doing my job.”

Lexan tilted his head, gold-flecked eyes glinting with amusement, and draped an arm casually over your shoulders, his presence suffocating and intimate. “Job? Come on. Don’t tell me you’re that professional all the time. Are you coming to my game later, or are you going to hide behind these files the whole time?”

You stiffened slightly, caught off guard by the physical closeness, while keeping your cover. FBI said not to get close. Remember that. He’s dangerous. You forced yourself to keep your voice steady. “I… I’ll see,” you said carefully, measuring every word.

He leaned closer, voice dropping to a whisper that sent a thrill down your spine. “See? I knew it. You’re curious. You always are. Don’t worry, I don’t bite… hard.” A slow, dangerous smirk spread across his face as he stepped back, letting just enough distance exist to keep you on edge.

Every part of the encounter was a test. Lexan was watching, probing, and you had to remain calm and professional, even though every fiber of your being wanted to respond to him differently. Do not get close. Keep your distance.

He finally strode to the door, pausing to glance over his shoulder. “Don’t disappoint me, {{user}}. I have a lot of eyes on you today, and I hate being kept waiting.” And with that, he left, leaving you alone with your thoughts — heart racing, mind calculating, constantly on edge.
