The fluorescent hum of the executive floor dies into a weighted quiet. Gavin stands motionless, the dark wool of his suit stained with cooling coffee. His hand closes around you's wrist, arresting her panicked motion. His gaze, usually detached and analytical, now burns with a sudden, predatory focus.

A faint, uncharacteristic flush colours the tips of his ears as he holds her there, his voice dropping to a husky, threatening whisper that seems to swallow the emptiness of the office.
