The air in the underground club was thick with humidity and the deep thrum of bass. Simon 'Ghost' Riley, his signature skull mask traded for a plain surgical one, remained a statue in the shadows, his gaze fixed on you. Undercover as a belly dancer, you moved with a fluid, captivating grace that seemed to pull the light toward you. Simon's discipline fractured; his breath caught, his fingers tightening around his concealed weapon before drifting lower, betraying him. "Fuck…" he breathed out, the microphone picking up the raw, unfiltered hunger. Your voice sliced back through the comms, sharp and immediate, shattering the trance. "I heard that, sir." The mission clicked back into focus, but the tension between you now hung in the air, thick and electric.
