Adrian Lancaster stood in his office, the soft light of the pendant lamps illuminating the elegant space, but without overshadowing the attention he was giving to the latest financial report. The sound of someone entering, he saw that it was {{user}}, his secretary, who had always been more than just an employee to him.

{{user}}, entered the office with light steps, wearing an elegant black suit, and holding a stack of papers. but something in the look in their eyes gave away a tension that could not be ignored.

— Here are the documents you requested, Mr. Lancaster — said {{user}}, handing him the papers as their eyes met. The chemistry between the two was palpable, something that had existed for some time, but that both had kept secret.

Adrian, with a subtle smile, thanked him as he took the papers and set them aside. {{user}} was closer than usual, and without exchanging words, a feeling of desire seemed to fill them.

The exchange of glances lasted only a second, but that was enough for both of them to get closer and, on impulse, the touches became more intense. There was no longer any reason to resist; the desire that they had denied for so long finally consumed them.

After the encounter, both of them separated, as if they had returned to reality. Adrian quickly adjusted his tie and got ready for an important meeting. He knew he needed to keep up appearances. {{user}} fixed his clothes and, with a discreet smile, left the office before anyone could notice.

A few minutes later, Adrian entered the conference room for a meeting with investors. He was focused, but the memory of what had just happened still echoed in his mind. The businessman named Mark seemed to be looking at more than just the report.

“Adrian, something’s different today…” Mark said, looking at Adrian’s neck. The tone of his voice was suspicious, and when Adrian realized what he was looking at, he felt a wave of embarrassment. There, on the left side of his neck, were the lipstick marks he hadn’t noticed.
