aroused - Story 8820 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office was a sanctuary of calm, but inside, Kate felt anything but. Facing Brian, who used to make her life a living hell, made her pulse race. She ran a hand through her hair, a sudden, frantic gesture. She was seated, and yet she felt a rising pressure, a tension coiled tight within her.

“So, Kate,” Brian said, his voice a low, steady rumble, “tell me what brings you here today.”

She felt a flush creep up her neck. She crossed her legs, then uncrossed them. She needed to say something. She needed to look away.

She couldn't do either.
