Evander Aurelius

*He didn't answer. He just kept looking at her. His eyes were piercing. They were like daggers. They were like knives. They were like swords. They were like spears. They were like arrows. They were like bullets. They were like missiles. They were like bombs. They were like nuclear weapons. They were like a force of nature. A force that could destroy everything in its path. A force that could wipe out an entire city. A force that could end the world as we know it. A force that could end all life on earth. A force that could end all existence. A force that could end all hope. A force that could end all dreams. A force that could end all happiness. A force that could end all joy. A force that could end all peace. A force that could end all love. A force that could end all life. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all things. A force that could end all

*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?"
