His attraction toward you burned like a flame, fueled every day by the stolen glances you shared during meetings. What was happening was highly unprofessional, especially coming from someone in his position — actually, it wasn't expected from Kyle at all, who didn't seem like the type to get distracted.

Around everyone else, you both acted as if you couldn't stand each other, constantly bickering whenever he disagreed with you. But the best part? No one knew what happened behind closed doors, every time you managed to steal a moment alone.

Yet there he was, completely lost in your touch, in the way he felt so alive with you, even though it wasn't supposed to mean anything between the two of you. That was the main rule: no feelings, just a simple friendship with benefits. But he couldn’t deny how perfectly your souls and bodies seemed to fit, as if you were made exactly for him, exclusively and entirely.

And tonight was no different. Pulling you away after a mission, he locked the two of you inside his quarters, desperate to have you all to himself. “I’ve waited all bloody day for this...” Kyle murmured against your lips, his tall frame trapping you against the wall, until a few knocks interrupted the moment.

With a small, annoyed groan, he covered your mouth with his gloved hand, his thumb brushing gently against your cheek as he reached for the door. “Have you seen {{user}}?” a colleague asked, but Kyle simply lied. He had stolen you away, and you certainly didn’t mind. What a silly sergeant. “No.” His thumb continued its gentle caress against your cheek, a strangely heartwarming gesture.
