“Are you really just an ordinary person?” Mason said, his voice low.

He suddenly stepped closer, leaning in as his arms moved past Sienna’s sides, pressing his hands against the console behind her, boxing her in.

His figure, tall and straight, loomed over Sienna, completely enveloping her in his shadow.

Suddenly, the distance between them vanished.

Sienna could feel his breath swirling around her, invading all her senses; she couldn’t focus on anything else.

Those deep, seductive eyes stared right at her, only inches apart, intense enough to make her breath hitch.

‘This is… seriously dangerous,‘ Sienna thought, feeling her pulse spike.

This guy really knows how to play to his strengths,‘ Sienna couldn’t help thinking.

That face–arrogant, enchanting, almost supernatural–was pure temptation.

And worst of all, with him this close, Mason curled his slim, rosy lips into that dazzling, wicked grin, his husky voice sliding into Sienna’s ears like velvet hooks, impossible to resist.

“You won’t face it with your family, but you let me step in, let me stand with you… Doesn’t that mean I’m really special to you?” Mason said, his voice low and seductive.

He was way too close.

So close that, whenever he spoke, his warm breath wrapped around her face, making her senses swirl.

Up close, his proud, devilish face was even more dangerously captivating.

And those eyes–so deep and dark, filled with restless emotions she couldn’t understand, something unfamiliar that made her heart skip a beat.

Sienna’s heart gave a soft, electric shiver–almost as if all her senses were tingling right at their edge.

This feeling, it was so unexpected, so unfamiliar it left her reeling.

Thinking about Mason’s words, Sienna couldn’t deny it–he truly was special to her.

There was just something about him that set him apart from everyone else.

Somewhere deep down, she realized Mason had never really felt like a stranger to her, not even for a

moment.

It was like she’d just let Mason slip right into her life–it just felt so natural, she barely even noticed.

She’d even found herself sharing hidden truths about herself with Mason, all without hesitating, as if it was

the most natural thing in the world.

That was something she could never have imagined doing before.

When it came to Mason, he was the only one who could make her drop her guard completely–without her even realizing it.

Sienna’s long lashes quivered as she tried to hide the flush creeping across her cheeks, but she managed to look up calmly. “Because you’re not just an ordinary person, are you?”

Mason was gazing down at her, his eyes full of quiet intensity.

As her eyes met his, the air between them sparked.

Those deep, shadowy eyes of his wove an invisible net–Sienna felt herself getting caught up, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to escape.

Sienna bit her lip, forcing herself to sound fierce. “You’ve got the skills–why wouldn’t you use them?”

Her voice was deliberately tough, face all scrunched up in a serious look.

But those ears… Yeah, they’d totally given her away, flushed bright red.

Mason gave a sly, wicked chuckle, his laughter softly curling in the air. “Use me?”

He leaned even closer, closing that tiny distance until their noses actually bumped.

Their noses touched.

He could clearly see the way her lashes quivered, and the resolve she was trying so hard to fake in her eyes.

He gave another husky, teasing laugh. “Using me, and so utterly unapologetic about it?”

Sienna kept her face tight, still playing it cool. “You knew I was taking advantage, but you went along with it anyway, didn’t you?”

“Exactly…” Mason chuckled, his eyes lit up with that dangerous charm. “But Miss Cooper, if you want to use me, you’d better be ready to pay the price.”

As Mason finished speaking, his eyes drifted down, landing on Sienna’s lips–soft, inviting, impossible to

resist.

The meaning behind that look? Dangerously clear; you’d have to be blind to miss it.

Honestly, with Mason right there, the electric tension in the air, and that fox’s dangerously seductive face- Sienna could feel herself losing control.

This was deliberate seduction, no question about it.

And he absolutely had the power to make her heart race and lose all composure.

Sienna fixed Mason with an intense, unblinking stare, eyes openly taking in every detail of his face.

But this time, unlike all the times before, she didn’t immediately shove his hands aside or push his face away

to break the tension between them.

Instead…

She just let Mason draw closer and closer, not making the slightest move to stop him.

He really looked like he was about to claim his reward.

Just as things between them reached a dangerously electric tipping point-

“Mr. Brown! Miss Cooper!”

Suddenly, Ben called out from the elevator. “The people outside have all retreated! Looks like their probing failed–they realized our security’s impenetrable and have given up for now!”

The elevator doors slid open.

Ben rushed in.

The moment Ben’s voice echoed through the room, Sienna moved on pure instinct.

She jerked her hand up, pressing it firmly against Mason’s face right as he leaned in close.

His warm lips brushed over her palm, sending a sudden rush of heat through her skin.

She pushed him away, not holding back.

Mason, completely caught off guard, staggered a couple steps before landing hard on the floor.

Sienna flicked her gaze to the screen, totally blank–faced. “Yeah, saw that coming. You should hit the hay early -they won’t be trying anything else tonight.”

Ben stood there in a daze, muttering a distracted “okay” in response to Sienna.

But his eyes were big with disbelief as he stared at Mason.

There was Mason, sitting awkwardly on the floor, looking more than a little ruffled.

Ben gawked at Sienna, then at Mason, then back at Sienna–completely stunned.

“Uh… Did you two just… get into a fight or something?” he mumbled under his breath, hesitant.

“Wait a sec… Why’s Miss Cooper’s face so red?” he whispered, confusion written all over his face.

Mason sat there, long legs folded, and even in such an awkward, ungraceful position, he still managed to look stupidly handsome.

Still parked on the floor, he shot Ben a lazy eyebrow. “Ben, it’s fine. Go get some rest.”

Ben glanced from Mason to Sienna, then back again.

And then it hit him.

It was the middle of the night.

Middle of the night, a guy and a girl, alone in a room together…

Wait, did I just totally kill the mood here?‘ Ben thought, suddenly realizing he might’ve crashed a moment.

Ben immediately ducked his head and bolted out of there.

‘Crap, did I just totally kill Mr. Brown’s chance to finally get a girlfriend?‘ he freaked out inside.

As soon as Ben ducked out, it was just Mason and Sienna again–alone together in the control room, not a soul around.

Sienna glanced at the surveillance screens–they’d finally settled into silence, the chaos outside just a distant

memory now.

She lifted her foot, ready to head out.

“Sienna,” Mason called out, his voice lazy and smooth, that familiar, lazy smile tugging at his lips.

Her name seemed to linger right there on his lips, barely willing to slip away.

The vibe between them was thick with lazy, teasing flirtation.

Sienna tilted her head, glancing over at him.

Mason had already risen from the floor, his eyes holding a lazy, roguish curve that screamed trouble.

He lifted his long fingers and traced them softly against Sienna’s flushed lips.

He gave a low, languid chuckle. “I’ll come collect my payment next time.”

Sienna blinked, her gaze locking onto him, unwavering.

Up close, the control room lights were harsh and bright, but Mason’s face was still picture–perfect–literally flawless.

His eyes smoldered with a hypnotic charm, his brows were sharp and dark, and his lips curled into a laid- back, devil–may–care smile.

He gave off bold, undeniable sexual tension–that dangerous edge that pulled you in.

He was so ridiculously good–looking, it was honestly impossible to find a single flaw.

Sienna just kept her eyes locked on him, silent and unreadable.

She kept staring for a long moment. Without a word, she spun around and walked right out of the control

room.

That left Mason standing there, alone and more than a little lost.

‘Well, that was weird… Mason thought, still a little thrown.

That look in her eyes… Mason couldn’t quite figure it out.

It was like she was just sizing him up–no emotion, no flirting, just cold, honest scrutiny.

He rubbed his face, feeling a bit awkward. ‘Seriously? Was my “TikTok swagger” just not hitting tonight?‘ he joked to himself.

Back in her room, Sienna pressed a hand over her pounding heart, feeling it go wild and chaotic in her chest.

Her heart was a total mess, thumping like it just couldn’t settle down.

She reached up and touched her face.

It was still strangely hot, for no apparent reason.

‘This is seriously weird, she thought, feeling kind of thrown off.

She couldn’t help but keep replaying those wickedly teasing words Mason had just whispered; the way he said them was seriously dangerous.

Honestly, Mason’s looks were right up her alley–exactly her type, no doubt about it.

Plus, he came with a whole air of mystery–there was nothing ordinary about him.

‘Maybe… maybe it wouldn’t be impossible,‘ Sienna thought, her guard starting to slip just a little.

Sienna flopped onto her bed, then pulled out her phone, tapped into a secure app, and slipped into a private

network.

She opened a chat with someone whose codename was “Redfang“.

Hades: “?”

Redfang replied almost instantly: “?”

Then, without waiting for Sienna to respond, Redfang started typing away: “It’s past two in the morning back home, right? Still up? Waiting for me to come chop your head off?”

He even attached a bloody red snake sticker.

That familiar, snarky tone made Sienna’s lips curve into a slight smile.

He was obviously pissed off.

Yet he still cared enough to keep checking the time back in Aurathen.

Sienna smirked, her slender fingers tapping out a quick reply: “Got a sec?”

Halfway around the world, outside a massive skyscraper, a woman with a knockout figure and wild red hair hung suspended in the night air.

She clung to a zip line with just one hand, body twisting high above the city as though gravity simply didn’t apply to her.

Her other hand? Busy texting away on her phone, completely unfazed by the drop beneath her.

The wind screamed past, tossing her fiery hair into an untamed frenzy.

She hung there effortlessly in the night air, one hand gripping the zipline while the other tapped out a message on her phone–cool, calm, totally unfazed by the dizzying drop below or the howling wind tossing her red hair around.

Redfang: “Out with it.”

Sienna paused for a second, weighing her words before she texted: “So I’ve got this friend, right? There’s this guy in her life who treats her like gold, and honestly? She probably owes him about a million favors at this point.”

After thinking it over, she added: “Oh, and get this–apparently their families made some childhood marriage pact, like, they were basically betrothed as kids.”

Redfang: “Wait, what???”

Redfang: “So where’s this going?”

Sienna’s fingers curled around her phone as that scene in the control room flashed back into her mind; Mason leaning in, so close she could almost feel his heartbeat mixing with hers.

She hesitated for a second, then typed: “So, my friend’s pretty sure that guy is totally into her. You agree?”

Redfang: “……”

‘Seriously? Is Hades out there getting wild now, and even playing the love game with some guy?‘ Redfang thought, nearly dropping her phone in disbelief.

‘And it’s so obvious that guy’s got her heart all twisted up–she’s actually coming to me with this kind of nonsense?‘ Redfang couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Redfang: “Is he hot?”

Sienna thought about Mason’s cold, devilishly handsome face and replied: “Trust me, he’s insanely hot.”

Redfang: “Girl, what are you even hesitating for? Who cares whether that dude likes you or your friend–what matters is, does your friend wanna snag him? If she does, just charge right in and bag him! Lock him down, play a little bondage–us alpha women only do forced love! If you want him, seize him. No mercy, no
