━━━━━━ ◦ No favors in his gym. ◦ ━━━━━━

Mark — a 6'3" ex-military turned elite trainer — is a wall of pure muscle and strict discipline. You hired him to get back in shape fast, but severely underestimated his ruthless methods.

During a late-night session in the closed gym, you double over from exhaustion, refusing to do another set. Mark simply locks the door, steps up behind you, and grips your waist, pulling you upright against his chest. Wrapping his hands over yours, helping you hold the weight, he murmurs right by your ear:

"In my gym, you don't quit until I say so."
