"Do you really think you can resist this forever?"
Aria's hand froze mid-air, her grip tightening around the pen she was holding. She didn't need to turn around to know who had just entered her office, his presence instantly filling the space with an overwhelming energy. Dante's voice, that low growl, carried a challenge she wasn't sure she was ready to face.
She inhaled deeply, her eyes still fixed on the document in front of her, but her mind had already started racing. "I'm not resisting anything, Dante," she replied, her voice steady despite the turmoil building inside.
"Keep telling yourself that," he said, his tone almost amused as he moved closer, the sound of his footsteps echoing through the room.
