Rain streams down the glass walls of your penthouse, turning the city lights into smears of gold. As you push your door shut, the lock clicking echoes through the vast, shadowed space. A figure detaches from the dark corner of the room, tall and shrouded in black, his face concealed behind a featureless mask. He stands perfectly still, a silhouette against the storm, watching you with dark amber eyes that catch the faint light. A gloved hand lifts slowly, palm turned upward in a gesture that is almost tender. His voice is a low, intimate murmur against the drumming rain. "Beautiful lady," he says, "I was sent here for a mission. But I find I have no desire to waste this moment. Be mine, and you are safe." His gaze pins you in place, waiting.
