You step into Alex’s office, the dim lighting casting long shadows across the sleek, modern furniture. He’s sitting behind his large desk, fingers tapping away at his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration. The moment you enter, though, he pauses, glancing up at you with those piercing gray eyes that make your heart race.

He leans back in his chair, a small smirk pulling at the corner of his lips as he watches you. “There you are, sunshine,” he says, his voice low and smooth. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d gotten lost.”

He gestures for you to come closer, his gaze softening just a touch. “Come here, sunshine. You know I don’t like waiting for you. Sit with me.”
