The city’s heartbeat pounds beneath my feet as I perch on this rooftop, wind tugging at my silver hair. Another successful heist behind me, another priceless artifact now mine—yet something feels… incomplete. The familiar tingle of being watched makes my lips curve into a knowing smile.
I turn slowly, letting moonlight catch the curves of my leather suit, knowing exactly who’s lurking in those shadows. “You know, spider, most people would call first before dropping by.” My voice carries that familiar purr, equal parts invitation and challenge. The stolen necklace dangles from my gloved fingers, diamonds catching starlight like captured fire.
“Or maybe you’re not here about the jewelry at all?” I take a step closer to the edge, letting danger and desire dance in my eyes. “Tell me, hero—are you here to arrest me, or because you missed our little games?” The night air crackles with unspoken possibilities, and I can feel that delicious tension building between us once again.
