Bound By The Desk 53: Aegis
Vorian’s POVToday is the beginning of a new week. I walk into my office, settling down.I can see that Zephyr has been in here judging on how the room look.It was different from how I left it, the files on the shelf are arranged alphabetically, only Zephyr can do that.Silas is not someone to arrange things this way.There is also a cup of coffee on my table. Typical Zephyr but the problem is I am not in the mood for anything.I only came to the company because I have to. If I have it my way, I would be in my bed, cuddling under my duvet with my pillow.While I am still in my thoughts, the door opens.I look up wondering who that is. Zephyr or Silas?Only those two open my door like it is their bedroom door.Zephyr steps in and closes the door behind him with a soft click.I look towards the glass walls, the city skyline shines bright through the glass walls. Monday morning light pours in.“Good morning.” Zephyr says.“Good morning,” I reply him.“You did not reply my text.”“You se
Bound By The Desk 52: Brew & Bean
Zephyr’s POVI can’t remember the last time I came to Brew and Bean.Was it Selene’s birthday two years ago when we split that giant cinnamon roll and laughed until our sides hurt? Or the day I got the HoltTech job offer and danced around the tables like a fool? Maybe it was the rainy afternoon we skipped class in college and hid here with cheap lattes.But here I am again. The little brass bell above the door jingles as I step inside. Warm light spills from old hanging lamps. Mismatched wooden chairs sit around small round tables. Local art hangs crooked on brick walls.The air smells of fresh espresso, warm cinnamon rolls, and a hint of rain. A barista with purple hair hums soft jazz behind the counter. Rain taps gentle on the big windows.Saturday night feels quiet. Perfect.Selene waves from our usual corner booth. She sits with her legs crossed under the table. Two mugs wait in front of her. Steam curls up like lazy smoke. She wears a green sweater that makes her eyes look bright
Bound By The Desk 51: Table Talk
Vorian’s POVThe beach house dining room glows warm under the low chandelier. The long oak table sits full tonight. White linen covers it. Silver candlesticks flicker soft light. The ocean breeze drifts in through open windows. It carries salt and the faint smell of rosemary from the roast chicken. Lillian sits at the head. She wears a light blue dress. Her hair is neat. Cassian stands to carve the meat. His sleeves roll up. Elena pours red wine into glasses. The liquid shines dark. Dorian already holds his second glass. He leans back in his chair. Lila swings her legs under the table. Her pink dress brushes the floor. Peas steam in a bowl in front of her.Cassian slices the chicken. “Art gallery opens next week,” he says. “You should come, Vorian. Bring fresh eyes.”Elena smiles. “Lila has a school play too,” she adds. “She is a tree. Very important role.”Lila giggles. “I have three lines,” she says. “I say ‘Grow, little seed!’”Dorian raises his glass. “To trees and art,” he says.
Bound By The Desk 50: That Smile
Selene’s POVI am currently sitting at my small desk in the open office. The cubicles stretch around me like a challenging maze. Everyone doing their thing and minding their business. Maybe, except for the two ladies at my front talking of the latest entertainment scandal. Can’t remember the name they mentioned, which is actually none of my business.But what is an office without gossipers.The air smells of fresh coffee and printer ink. My screen glows with unread emails. Twenty three new ones since I checked five minutes ago. My mug holds cold coffee now, which I had forgotten to drink.My phone sits face down beside the keyboard. It buzzes once, then again. I flip it over. I do not have to check it since I know what it is. But still checked in case the universe wants to get at me.Spam. Just another ad for cheap shoes. I set it back down.The buzz makes me think of last night. Zephyr came home at two in the morning. He tried to sneak in quiet. But that was impossible since
Bound By The Desk 49: Desk and Window
Vorian’s POVI maintain the pout on my face on purpose, letting my head tip a little so my dark hair jumps over my brow, as I say in a quiet voice.“Maybe Lila did teach me, but does it do anything for you?” His fingers come up and brush my cheek, soft and warm. “It does more than it should,” he says quietly, his breath warm on my skin, “and that makes it risky when you use it.” I keep his palm tight before he pulls it, wrap my digits over his wrist, and yank him in till our hearts bump. “Good.”I smile near his lips, then kiss him gently, just a brush at first, but his lips open and his tongue meet mine in a slow, hungry kiss that has the taste of the brew we had before. He pats me on the back like he is soothing me, then his hand creep inside my shirt, and brush over my skin, shooting tiny jolts everywhere they go.I step away just enough to go to the door, turn the latch so it snaps closed, and when I whirl back, Zephyr gazes at me with his ribs moving up and down quick, hi
Bound By The Desk 48: Morning Interruptions
Vorian’s POVI push open the heavy glass door to my office with my shoulder. Two paper cups of coffee balance in my hands.The strong aroma of dark roast drifts up and fills the quiet space.Zephyr already stands near my wide mahogany desk. He bends slightly as he sorts through a stack of thick files. His back faces me.He wears a simple white button down shirt. The fabric pulls tight across his shoulders when he moves. His dark hair looks a little messy from sleep.I smile to myself.I set the coffees down on the corner of the desk without a sound. Then I step behind him.My arms slide around his waist and I pull him close against my chest.I lower my face to the curve of his neck. I breathe in deep.His scent is clean soap mixed with a trace of my cologne that still clings to his skin from last night.“I missed you,” I whisper right against his warm skin.Zephyr relaxes into my hold. He does not turn around.“It has only been six hours since you dropped me off,” he says.A soft laug
