Sadie’s POV The world outside the office ceased to exist. Every light, every sound, every distant hum of the city faded into insignificance. There was only Liam, only the magnetic heat of his presence, only the fire that had been building for months now fully unleashed between us. I could feel his warmth pressing subtly against me, the faint brush of his fingers against my skin sending shivers down my spine. My pulse raced, chest tightening, and every nerve in my body screamed with anticipation and desire. The careful restraint we had clung to, the professional boundaries, the rules — all shattered, irrelevant. All that remained was the storm between us, undeniable and consuming. “I can’t stop thinking about this,” I whispered, voice trembling, eyes fixed on him. “About you… about us.”
