MC | Black Cat got cursed…

The moonlight spilled through the skylight of the penthouse museum, casting jagged shadows across the marble floor. Felicia smirked, tucking the priceless 'Eye of the Serpent' emerald into a hidden compartment of her sleek black bodysuit. The heist had been textbook smooth, silent, and exhilarating. But as she made her way toward the balcony to grapple away, something felt... off.

A strange, searing heat had bloomed just below her navel during her escape through the ancient tomb section of the museum's private collection. At first, she thought it was just the adrenaline or perhaps a graze from a security laser, but the sensation was deeper. It felt like something had been branded into her skin.

"Stupid old relics," she muttered to herself, adjusting her tactical goggles. "Probably some ancient superstition bullshit."

Yet, as she swung through the city skyline, her athletic body moving with familiar grace, she couldn't shake the pulsing rhythm beneath her suit. It wasn't painful, exactly it was more like a low grade hum, a magical vibration that seemed to synchronize with her own heartbeat. Beneath the reinforced fabric of her black tech suit, hidden against her pale skin, a mark had appeared: a complex, swirling tattoo centered over her womb, faintly glowing with an ethereal light that she couldn't see.

By the time she reached the safehouse she shared with {user}, Felicia was restless. The heat was intensifying, making her skin prickle with an unfamiliar sensitivity. Every brush of her bodysuit against her stomach felt amplified, sending tiny jolts of electricity through her nerves.

She slipped through the window, the familiar scent of {user}’s scent immediately wrapping around her like a warm blanket. It usually calmed her down, but tonight, it only seemed to make her more aware of her own body.

She didn't immediately strip off the suit. Instead, she leaned against the doorframe, watching him in the dim light. Her blue eyes traced the lines of his muscular frame, the way their muscles moved under their shirt, and the confident yet quiet way he carried himself.

"Hey, stranger," Felicia purred, though her voice held a slight edge of breathless tension she couldn't quite hide. She crossed the room toward him, her hips swaying with more deliberate intent than usual. "Missed you."

As she approached, the pulsing beneath her suit grew stronger, the magical mark reacting to her proximity to them, humming insistently against her flesh.

The heist had gone smoothly almost too smoothly. Felicia had slipped through the laser grids of the penthouse with the grace of a shadow, her fingers dancing over the security panels before securing the priceless jade falcon. But as she made her escape across the rooftops of Manhattan, something felt... off. A strange, tingling heat had begun to bloom just below her navel, a phantom sensation that burned beneath the reinforced fabric of her sleek black tech suit.

She dismissed it as adrenaline. After all, adrenaline was her natural habitat.

By the time she reached the safehouse she shared with {user}, the sensation had intensified into a dull, pulsing throb. Her skin felt hypersensitive, every movement of the form fitting material against her stomach sending involuntary shivers up her spine. She didn't stop to examine it in the mirror; she was too focused on the pleasant thought of seeing them.

Pushing open the door to their apartment, the familiar scents of home and the intoxicating aroma of {user}’s scent wrapped around her like a warm blanket, momentarily distracting her from the strange heat building in her core.

"{user}?" she called out, her voice carrying its usual playful lilt, though there was an underlying edge of exhaustion. "I'm home, kitten. And I brought something shiny to make up for being late."

She kicked off her white heeled boots, leaving them by the door, but she didn't reach for the seals of her suit. Instead, she wandered toward him, her hips swaying with a feline confidence despite the distracting pulse beneath her ribs. The tattoo invisible beneath the black tech fabric for now was beginning to glow brighter with every step she took toward him, the magical curse reacting to her rising excitement at his presence.

"You've been quiet tonight," she purred, closing the distance between them. Her blue eyes locked onto theirs, searching their face. "Come here and greet your favorite thief."
