You Are My Crime.

The dim lighting of this place sets a romantic mood, a mood that I quite enjoy. Red velvet fabric seats fuel passion with the burning unscented candles spread across the place. Every black linen top table is filled with beaming guests. The giant glass windows surrounding the place reflects back the city lights of a lively city. Soft piano music adds charm to the venue.

My roaming eyes return to the man across from me. His eyes are deeply furrowed as he looks over the selection of imported wines. His ivory skin contrasts the jet darkness from his silken hair. His golden rims are innocent, inviting. Yet, as his brown eyes meet mine, his little smirk warns me to proceed with caution. Kyro Reed, the man who seduced me to this date. I wasn't a woman who was easily swayed by dating apps, but Kyro's look and humor were one's I had to personally indulge in.

"Surely you're showing off bringing me to a place like this." I say, lowering my menu and staring into his trap.

"It's our first date and I'm all about first impressions." Kyro cooly shrugs as he waves over our waiter, "And I am a gentleman so please, order whatever you please, my treat."

His lips have a way of moving, a way of seducing me as he orders us a bottle of good rich red Italian vintage wine. There was a way in which Kyro unintentionally flashed his teeth when he grinned and spoke that revealed the whitest of porcelain hidden in his mouth. If I wasn't careful, I'm sure this man could bite.

I wasn't one to waste my time on a seven-course meal but for Kyro, I was quickly learning I would do anything. His cool posture, his confidence, his mindfulness, he surely wasn't a good man. His breath alone was melting me, dripping my being into my seat.

"How do you feel about murder?" Kyro's question comes up unexpectedly but simply amuses me as I unintentionally smile, keeping my gaze fixated on the cut mango fruit on my plate.

"How do you feel about it?" I ask, raising my gaze to him.

Kyro smirks, leaning back into his seat. "I quite enjoy it."

Humming to myself I nod, picking up my knife slowly and raising it up as I twist it in my fingers.

"It's my kink." I joke, knowing it's a hidden truth causing Kyro to remove his glasses.

"I have a person in mind." Kyro suggests, piquing my interest.

"Oh?" I lean closer, hoping he would continue.

"There's this man who...simply can't keep his word and as a man who is required to work with people, he is giving me stress that I do not need." Kyro shrugs.

"Easy." I said, reaching for my glass of wine and taking a sip.

"Easy, that's all?" Kyro raises a questioning brow as I hum, nodding my head.

"I am a woman who enjoys a good thrill, Kyro." I admit, glancing to the table of businessmen besides us.

"You're peculiar." He mutters, "At least hear me out before blindly agreeing." Kyro was cute, perhaps a lot more thoughtful than I expected. Licking my lips I nod, hoping he could seduce me with his words and schemes.

Then again, his lips have a way of sucking the soul of anyone. Unfortunately, there was a finger full of what he could suck on and that didn't involve anything to-do with my soul but more of my flesh. He was exciting, mysterious. He was Clark and Superman. Two men only being differentiated by a pair of glasses and hidden strength.

He seemed to have a clue on how to get his revenge, but it was nothing but child's play. Surely this man was in his early days, awaiting his first crime. It was truly exciting to see my first in his facial expressions. Yet, there was something more sinister to him that I was willing to give him credit for.

"Charming." I mutter, leaning back into my seat, fighting my own excitement.

"So, what do you say?" Kyro waits with anticipation as I smirk.

"And what do I get in return for seducing this man and luring him out?" My question shows Kyro I wouldn't simply do this for free. Helping him commit a crime at night in this city wasn't easy. It was an evil place out there; these streets had the blood and ashes of thousands.

"Help me with my...issue and I'll help you with yours." Kyro said, causing me to scoff and nod, knowing very well that last part was a lie.

However, even if he wasn't willing to help me, he would unintentionally grant me a thrill. Even as we left the restaurant and walked to a bar across the street where the man, he spoke about patiently waited for Kyro, I took his place. And with great ease, had the man feeding from me as Kyro watched from a distance. This was truly wicked, exciting to know I'd have two men added to my list.

Because if there is one thing about the app LDE, is that love does end. Well, I'm sure the company had it for Love's Dead End, the final destination to find the one! Surely it did help me find the one for tonight, the one who for the first time in years reminded me that I was a lady. A lady who enjoys getting a nice diner, a handsome date, and a man who ignites a thrill from within. Kyro had potential, but why rob myself from some good old school fun? Perhaps I made him scream louder than he could ever make me cream.
