The Office Between Us
The kiss ended, but the world didn’t rush back in. It hung suspended in the thick, charged air of the corner office, a silent witness to a moment that had broken every rule, every unspoken boundary.

His lips, which had just been on hers, were now a tight, grim line, and his gaze was a storm of conflicting emotions—fierce and vulnerable, terrified and resolute.
