My boss is powerful, confident, and carries himself with an ease that draws people in, including me. He never does anything outright inappropriate, yet there\u2019s an unspoken energy between us, a tension that simmers beneath the surface, igniting something raw inside me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"1030\">I tell myself it\u2019s nothing. Just admiration. Just a passing moment of attraction. But then, there are those instances\u2014when his eyes lock onto mine a second too long, when his voice lowers ever so slightly, making my pulse quicken.
