His presence was almost unbearable. His proximity was painful and densely woven, making the air around us hard to breathe. Although outwardly calm and composed, my body was a restless sea fighting against its own waves, which were swallowing themselves one after another, turning, dying and being born again.

"Don't test the limits I'm ready to go to because limits are something I don't know." 

He threatened me quietly and determined, sure that his every word was making a whirlwind in my ears, visibly irritated by my insolent behavior 

  "Now I'm going to ask you to get out of my office so I can cry like little girl, scared by your dire threats." 

I answered him mockingly, looking straight into his eyes, which seemed to be calling my name. 

Silence. A few seconds passed like an eternity. A sly smirk appeared on his face. He slowly approached me, closing the very small distance between us.His breath swirled around the shell of my ear, making me shiver coldly. 

"Oh, be sure you'll cry. But not when I leave the room, but while I'm in it. You'll cry on my ear. Like big girls do. Your cry will be hoarse and pleading. It will be your prayer, your ticket to heaven. And trust me... You won't want to come down from those heights." 

His every word was calm and precise.He leaned in slightly, looking straight into my eyes, slowly lowering his gaze to my lips.
