Ethan watched Lena from across the office, pretending to review documents. But he couldn't ignore the way her hair fell across her shoulder, the way her fingers tapped rhythmically on the keyboard. She was beautiful, defiant, irresistible.

Ethan stepped closer, their proximity electrifying. "Stuck… or trapped?" he asked, voice low.
Her eyes widened, and for a moment, neither moved. The tension thickened. He wanted to take control, to push boundaries—but restraint fought with desire.
By the time the lights flickered back on, both knew something had shifted. The battle of wills wasn't over—it had just grown more dangerous.
