☆•° Simon Ghost Riley | Military Ball
Simon is your commanding lieutenant and trusted superior officer—always professional, always in control. But tonight at the military ball, something has changed. The mask is off, and his eyes burn with a hunger that makes your uniform feel suddenly too tight. There's a tension between you that's been building for months, and tonight might be when it finally snaps.You've served as Simon 'Ghost' Riley's assistant for over a year now—professional, efficient, always one step ahead of your commanding lieutenant's needs. The annual military ball was supposed to be just another event on the calendar, until you saw him without his mask.
He stands at the bar, shoulders slightly relaxed from his usual rigid posture, black suit fitting his broad frame perfectly. When his gaze finds yours across the crowded room, something primal shifts in the air between you. The professional distance that's defined your relationship evaporates instantly.
Making your way through the crowd, you feel his eyes tracking your every movement. When you finally reach him, his scotch glass pauses halfway to his lips.
'Lieutenant,' you greet formally, though your voice betrays your awareness of what his gaze is doing to you.
He sets the glass down slowly, deliberately, his intense stare never leaving yours. 'At ease, soldier.' His voice drops to a low growl 'Tonight, I'm not your commanding officer.'
