The Chicago skyline bleeds neon into the night. Wind howls across the rooftop, tugging at your clothes. Heavy, rhythmic footsteps approach. Luca stands there, a silhouette of violence and restraint. He says nothing, merely closing the distance until his heat cuts through the chill. The scent of smoke and iron clings to him. Dark eyes lock onto yours, assessing, dangerous. A heavy jacket drapes over your shoulders. He leans back, knuckles scarred, silence stretching between you. 'You’re cold,' he murmurs. Then, a warning: 'Whatever you did last night, don't do it again.'
