The holiday cheer hit you the moment you stepped into the room, and you let the feeling sink in and slowly dissolve the stress of the past months. Tonight marked the start of a short holiday break, and you felt thankful at the thought of a few quiet days of well-deserved rest.
The open-plan office looked entirely different tonight, removed from its usual bustling atmosphere. The fairy lights adorning the tall, glittering tree beside you twinkled softly in shades of gold and red. Desks had been repositioned along the walls and draped in festive cloths to display an assortment of drinks, colourful punch bowls, bottles of champagne set in silver ice buckets and sparkling glasses, next to trays of festive finger foods and delicacies.
Part of the room had been left clear to serve as a dance floor later on. Garlands and fairy lights decorated the walls and oversized, shimmering ornaments hung from the ceiling. A collection of festive paper bags were nicely arranged under the tree, complimentary gifts from the CEO, to show his appreciation for the staff’s dedication.
While your colleagues were captivated by Erwin’s deep, powerful voice, your gaze drifted across the room, drawn to Levi who stood beside him. His expression was unreadable, but you couldn’t help but appreciate the poised and elegant way he carried himself.
You had been working together for months, and while your first impression of him had been rather off-putting, your admiration had grown over project discussions and late-night brainstorming sessions.
Now, as Erwin started to praise Levi's leadership, you drank in the sharp angles of his face, the shiny ink of his hair, the smooth curve of his lips. And when Levi glanced briefly in your direction, your pulse quickened, your focus narrowing to the intensity of his gaze before he turned away.
"Our financial team, under Levi's steady leadership, has been the backbone of our stability throughout a challenging year."
With a smile, Erwin slightly turned to his righthand standing by his side. Arms crossed over his chest, Levi gave him a curt nod.
"And last -but not least- I would like to highlight the remarkable efforts of our Marketing Department," Erwin added. "Your creativity and hard work have driven this company towards success. And," the CEO raised his glass of champagne in your direction, "a special thanks to you for leading the charge."
A ripple of applause filled the room and you felt a flush rise to your cheeks after your boss’s praise. As soon as Erwin had wrapped up his speech, your team gathered around you, leading you to the buffet in a cheerful whirlwind.
The holiday party soon was in full swing, the open-plan office filled with chatter and the faint hum of festive music. You stood near the punch bowl now, pretending to focus on your drink while sneaking glances at Levi.
Tonight, in his perfectly tailored suit, a discreet holiday-red handkerchief that matched his tie peeking out of his breast pocket, he looked devastatingly handsome.
Your heart hammered as you caught him looking straight back at you and you took a sip of your overly sweet drink to hide your sudden blush.
For months of exhausting deadlines and endless meetings, your teams had worked side by side to achieve the company's goals.
Levi's manners were blunt, yes, but working long hours with him had revealed layers of dedication, intelligence, and even dry humour hidden beneath the surface.
Somewhere along the way, you had found yourself admiring him.
Well, not so much admiring him as crushing on him.
Looking deliberately at the fairy lights twinkling along the walls to distract yourself from the flustering thought, you took another sip of your punch.
"Not drinking the spiked one?" Levi’s voice startled you.
He had appeared at your side, holding a glass of what looked like water.
You swallowed hard, trying to muster the courage to reply something. Anything.
"I…I didn't want to…lose focus."
He raised an eyebrow. "It’s a party, no need to be so serious."
"Says the one who's drinking water," you shot back before you could stop yourself.
He glanced down at the glass in his hands and chuckled.
"Guess I’m not one for parties."
"But, you're here though," you remarked.
He paused for a brief moment, his gaze flicking around the room as if weighing his answer, before stopping on the CEO.
"Well, as usual, Erwin guilt-tripped me. Told me it'd be good to celebrate the team's hard work."
He turned his attention back to you.
"I admit he was right. Your department really did a good job."
The praise caught you off guard.
"Thanks. But it wasn't just us… Your team has been incredible too. And you…"
You hesitated, feeling a warm flush creep up your neck.
"You’re an amazing leader, Levi."
His expression softened, almost imperceptibly, but enough to catch your attention.
"You're not too bad yourself."
Silence settled between you for a while as you both sipped your drinks. Levi's gaze shifted to the improvised dance floor, where a handful of coworkers were already swaying to the music.
"I’m sure Erwin would love to see you dance," you teased.
Levi snorted. "Not happening."
Feeling a surge of boldness, you nudged his arm. "What if I asked you to dance with me?"
He turned his head slightly towards you, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "You’d want to dance with me?"
The question lingered in the air, and your heart raced.
For a moment, you thought you had overstepped, but then Levi set his glass down on the table and held out a hand. "Come on, then."
You stared at him, bewildered. "Wait, seriously?"
He quirked an eyebrow. "Don’t make me say it twice."
You hesitated only a second before slipping your hand into his. His grip was firm and warm as he led you to the dance floor. The music had shifted to a slower melody, and Levi turned to face you, his other hand settling at your waist.
"I’m not good at this, you’ve been warned," he deadpanned.
"You’re doing fine so far," you replied in a soft voice, trying to calm the butterflies fluttering in your chest.
The soft glow of the twinkling lights illuminated his features, sharpening the angles of his face yet softening his gaze.
Your heart raced as you realized how close you were, close enough to catch the faint scent of his cologne, to see the flicker in his eyes as they darted between yours and your lips.
"Yes?" His voice was soft.
"Thank you. For this. For everything."
The grip of his hand tightened slightly on your waist.
He averted his gaze and clicked his tongue, visibly flustered. "Don’t have to thank me."
But you wanted to, in more ways than one.
Gathering your courage, you leaned in and pressed a tentative kiss to his cheek.
You felt Levi's body stiffen, his eyes widening for a split second before his expression softened.
"That was…unexpected," he said, his tone almost teasing.
"Oh… I’m… I’m sorry!" You stuttered, suddenly ashamed of your boldness.
Instead of answering, Levi leaned in. His lips brushed against yours in a brief, soft kiss that instantly made you weak in the knees.
When he pulled back, a faint smirk played at the corner of his mouth.
"Let’s go celebrate somewhere else, over dinner maybe?"
You were so dizzy after the kiss that you could only nod.
One hand at the small of your back, he motioned towards the exit.
"Gotta grab my coat in my office first," he said when you got out of the room, the echo of the party turning to a blur behind you.
After months of pining for him, you couldn't believe that, at this very moment, his warm, smooth hand was lightly squeezing yours as you walked down the hallway.
Your mind still in a daze, you cast tentative glances at him. His sharp jaw, his shiny hair, the delicate shape of his nose, every part of him was attractive.
A sudden rush of warmth spread through your body at the sight and Levi caught you smiling to yourself.
"What with the smile?" He asked, his expression faintly amused.
His brow furrowed and you chuckled awkwardly.
All awkwardness left you the second his office door clicked shut behind you.
In the blink of an eye, you found yourself held tight in his arms, your own arms wrapping around his neck as your lips met in a fervent kiss. Levi's hands glided all over your back, sending shivers across your skin. The feel of his mouth on yours was everything you had dreamed of and you let out a soft sigh when his tongue slid between your parted lips.
You had never felt anything like this before, you didn't even know a kiss could be so otherworldly. Your heart raced as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss and you melted into his embrace, revelling in the heat of his mouth and the minty taste of his tongue.
Your fingers found their way through his hair, grazing his undercut, tangling in the soft locks to finally grip them and draw him impossibly closer. The sensation was overwhelming, warmth spreading through your whole body like a tidal wave.
Eyes shut and head spinning, you slightly pulled apart to take in a sharp breath, but Levi’s mouth didn’t leave your skin, trailing kisses up your neck, along your jaw.
His hot breath tickled your ear when he whispered your name.
"Been wanting to do this for so long…" His voice was like honey to your ears and stirred a ravenous need in your core.Your mind was so clouded that you could only utter a lewd moan in response.
"Fu-uh- I… I don’t think I can make it to the restaurant," he panted.
"Oooh…go-od…Levi… Me…me neither," you managed to stutter as his teeth grazed the sensitive skin of your neck.
"You sure you wanna do this?" His husky voice couldn't be more alluring.
You didn’t even think twice and didn't stutter either this time. "Never been so sure of anything else before."
That was all Levi needed to hear.
He leaned in to press his lips against yours again and locked the door behind you.
His hands slid up your thighs to cup your ass, and, with a swift movement, he hoisted you up as if you weighed nothing.
Your tongue in his mouth and your legs around his waist, you gripped his broad shoulders to keep your balance as he carried you to his desk.
