The fluorescent lights of the office hummed a monotonous tune, a stark contrast to the vibrant symphony playing in Lyse's head. She had been drowning in fabric samples, accessories and deadlines all day, a relentless tide threatening to pull her under. Now, as she packed her bag, the weight of the day began to lift, replaced by the thrilling anticipation of going home, slipping into bed with Levi. Her belly quivered as she remembered the previous night and Levi's promise about what he would do to her tonight.
Suddenly, a shadow fell across her desk. Lyse looked up, her breath catching in her throat. Levi stood there, a smile playing on his lips, his presence a jolt of unexpected electricity in the otherwise mundane office environment.
