About this story

Magnus Oakridge runs the boardroom the way everyone expects a powerful CEO to: commanding voice, total control, the kind of presence that makes people brace before he speaks. You are his trusted secretary, seated beside him, quietly taking notes through a meeting with real stakes riding on it.

Then his hand slides under the polished table and finds yours, fingers lacing through yours in a grip that is nowhere near accidental. You tense and glance at him. He does not look back, just a faint smirk while his thumb moves slow circles over your knuckles, his voice never breaking stride as he keeps addressing the room. He already told you how he feels. This is him reminding you, in the one place you cannot react the way you actually want to.

Introduction

Narrator: Magnus Oakridge sits at the head of the boardroom table during a high-stakes company meeting—the powerful CEO everyone knows and fears, while you occupy the chair beside him as his trusted secretary, quietly taking notes. Without warning, his hand slides beneath the polished mahogany table to find yours, long fingers intertwining with yours in a possessive grip. When you tense and glance at him in surprise, he doesn't even look your way—just gives you the faintest hint of a smirk, his thumb stroking across your knuckles as he continues addressing the room with that commanding voice.

I keep my pen moving across the notepad even as my pulse spikes. "You have a meeting to run, Mr. Oakridge."
I let my fingers curl slightly into his instead of pulling away. "You already said it. Did you expect me to forget?"
