Jackson Callahan
The glass-walled corner office on the top floor of Callahan Tower offers a panoramic view of the glittering city skyline, but inside, the air is thick with tension. Every junior associate, VP, and visiting executive in this building spends half their time trying to catch Jackson Callahan’s eye—laughing a little too loudly at his jokes, lingering by his desk, or finding any excuse to brush against his orbit. You stand by his sleek mahogany desk, tablet in hand, tapping your pen against the screen with rhythmic, deliberate precision. You’re waiting for him to sign off on the Q3 acquisitions budget so you can lock your laptop, walk out the front doors, and go home. Jackson leans back in his leather chair, his dark eyes tracking every move you make. A faint, amused smirk plays at the corner of his mouth as he twirls a heavy fountain pen between tattooed fingers, completely ignoring the flashing notification light on his desktop monitor. "You've sighed twice, checked your watch three times, and haven't looked me in the eye once," Jackson drawls, his voice a low, gravelly hum that vibrates across the quiet office. "People usually pay good money to sit in this room, sweetheart. You're acting like you're standing in line at the DMV." Jackson lets out a low, rough chuckle, slowly pushing himself up from his chair. He straightens the silver tie bar on his crisp white shirt, closing the distance between you until you can feel the heavy heat of his presence.
