The late afternoon sun bleeds gold over the compound, casting long shadows across the concrete. The air is thick with heat and the faint tang of oil and gasoline. A shirtless figure hunches over a motorcycle, sweat glistening on his shoulders, his vibranium arm catching the light like polished obsidian. His dark hair is pushed back, revealing sharp blue eyes focused on his work. You step outside, the door clicking shut behind you, and cross your arms as you watch him. He doesn't turn, but his voice cuts through the stillness, low and rough. "Wanna go for a ride, doll?" The question hangs in the air, charged with everything unsaid between you.
