The metropolis stretches beneath you, a vast quilt of shimmering lights and echoing sirens. Up here on the rooftop, a cold wind slices through the air, smelling of impending rain and city grime. Carter lies pinned beneath your weight, the cold steel of his knife a promise against your stomach, your own blade a threat at his throat. His blue eyes, catching the fractured moonlight, gleam with a dark amusement. "Go on," he murmurs, his voice a deep vibration you feel in your bones. "Tell me how much you despise me, you." The space between you is charged, thick with every glance stolen and every word left unspoken.
