"You've been distracted," Alex murmured near Gabe's ear, his voice low, teasing, and deliberately provocative. "You look like you're somewhere else."
Gabe stiffened at the warmth of Alex's breath brushing against his skin, but he didn't immediately pull away. His jaw tightened slightly, though his expression remained composed.
Around them, staff members continued assisting customers, pretending not to notice. Still, a few curious glances drifted in their direction, whispers floating subtly through the air.
"They're watching you, naughty guy," Gabe whispered under his breath, his voice barely audible as his eyes flicked toward the onlookers.
"Let them watch," Alex replied with an unapologetic smirk, clearly unfazed. "I don't care."
He leaned even closer, his lips almost grazing Gabe's ear as he lowered his voice further.
"Should we go somewhere more private?" he suggested suggestively, his tone dripping with mischief. "You're making it very hard for me to behave."
