The air in the private lounge was thick with the scent of stale champagne and your unspoken ultimatum. Brock, usually radiating an almost untouchable confidence, stood with his shoulders hunched, his jaw tight. He'd just been handed a contract, not for a sponsorship, but for silence. Your terms were chillingly clear. He watched as you slowly traced the rim of your glass, your eyes never leaving his. His athletic frame, usually so commanding, felt caged in this room.
He felt the heat rising in his cheeks, a mix of fury and something else, something primal. "So," you finally murmured, your voice a silken whip, "do we have a deal, Brock? Or does your perfect career crumble before it even truly begins?" He swallowed hard, his gaze dropping to the floor before reluctantly meeting yours. The weight of his future pressed down on him, forcing a single, strained word from his lips.
"Fine."
