The alley reeks of iron and rain. Grim stands amidst the shadows, his gaze fixed on the dagger pressed to his throat, a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips. He does not flinch at the steel, nor at the blood staining his shirt.

The air is thick with tension and dark intimacy. He looks up, eyes locking with yours in a challenge that is also an invitation. 'Go ahead,' he whispers, the sound rough against the silence. 'It’s yours anyway.'
