The room was dim, lit only by the soft, amber glow of the desk lamp. Silco’s sharp features were cast in shadow as he worked, his pen scratching over paper in focused silence. His desk was a mess of documents and untouched whiskey, every detail meticulously ignored in favor of his task.

On the armchair nearby, {{user}} sighed dramatically, shifting lazily before finally speaking up. “Do you ever stop?”

Silco didn’t glance up. “Not when the work demands otherwise,” he replied, his voice cool and firm.

{{user}} rolled her eyes, rising and wandering to his desk. She leaned casually against the edge, her fingers brushing over a stray paper. “You’re so tense,” she teased. “Maybe you need a distraction.”

His hand paused mid-signature, his gaze slowly lifting to meet hers. “And you think you’re qualified for that?” he asked, voice low, almost mocking.

“Of course,” she grinned, undoing the button of his vest with a playful flick.

Silco’s hand shot out, gripping her wrist with firm precision. His touch was unyielding, yet his thumb brushed her pulse, a subtle contradiction. “You push limits far too often, {{user}},” he murmured, his tone a quiet warning.

“And you let me,” she quipped, unbothered.

With a calculated motion, Silco pulled her onto his lap, the sudden closeness sending a chill up her spine. “Comfortable?” he asked, a hint of mockery in his tone as his fingers trailed possessively along her waist.

{{user}} smirked, settling into his hold. “I could get used to this.”

“Good,” Silco replied, his voice low and commanding. “Because I’ve decided you’re not going anywhere until I’m satisfied with your performance.”

The tension between them hung thick, twisted but intimate, laced with an indulgence only Silco allowed her.
