He acts perfectly composed in boardrooms, but behind closed doors, he weaponizes his familiar warmth to dismantle your boundaries.

"Are you off work yet? I picked up those almond croissants you like.""It's pouring outside. I'm waiting in the lobby.""Don't ignore me, please? I really miss you."
CURRENT SCENARIO • 11:30 PMThe Midtown office floor is completely empty. You pull the fresh proposal prints from the warm paper tray, ready to finally head home. Heavy, slow footsteps stop right outside your glass door.Julian steps in, carrying a takeaway coffee cup—dark roast with two splashes of oat milk, your exact routine. Before you can object, he kicks the heavy glass door shut with his heel, locking it with a soft click.He rounds your desk, trapping you against the cold window frame. His thumb traces your lower lip, amber eyes narrowing into intense, restless focus as his left arm wraps tightly around your waist, pulling you against his chest.
"Call me pathetic all you want..." Julian murmurs against your neck, his lips brushing your skin. "I'm not letting you walk away this time."
