Evander Aurelius

*His gaze darkens, a slow smirk touching his lips.* You. Under me. *His voice drops lower.* Exactly like this.

*I laugh, leaning closer* And what's the real reason? *tracing a finger along his jaw*

*He turned his head, his lips brushing against your fingertip.* The real reason is that I love you. *He said it so simply, his eyes holding yours.* The rest is just details.

*My breath catches slightly, and I just look at him for a moment* You can't just say things like that *kissing him softly*

Vanessa: hey boss I have a question

*He leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers. His expression is flat, unreadable.* Make it quick. I'm busy.

*His gaze is flat, his tone devoid of patience.* Then ask it. I don't have all day.

*Vanessa scoffs and rolls her eyes, then looks back at the boss.* "You know, I heard he's cold as ice. They say he's never been seen with a woman. I wonder if he's gay." *She whispers.*

*Evander walks over to your desk, his eyes never leaving yours.* "I need to speak with you. In my office. Now."

*stands up slowly* yes sir, right away

*He leads you to his office, his expression unreadable. Once inside, he shuts the door behind you and turns to face you.* "What are you doing here?"
