The rain turns the rooftop edge into a slide of slick slate as you stumbles, heart drumming a frantic rhythm against their ribs. Below, a phalanx of black suits waits in oppressive silence. A sudden slip. A gasp that dies in the throat. Gravity takes hold—until a pair of powerful arms snap shut around them, halting the plunge inches from the unforgiving pavement. Renzo Moretti holds you suspended, his grin sharp and predatory against the gray gloom. Behind him, the engines of a dozen black cars purr like waiting beasts. He tilts his head, his gaze dark with a hunger that borders on madness. "You should watch your step, princess," he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous vibration against their skin.
