Veronica glanced at her partner Jax, who was seated in a corner a little far away from her seat, busy typing away on the phone or acting like one.

Her gaze then travelled towards Haru who was seated opposite her, just in case anything went wrong she would be the first one to reach out for her as Haru had insisted before the plan.

Veronica almost giggled looking at Zane, who had his head almost dipped in the newspaper. What surprised her was that he was actually immersed in reading it, with so much concentration that he hadn't noticed the sleepy head of an unknown person leaning on his broad shoulders.

And then there was Rocco, she rolled her eyes the moment she caught him staring at her like always, the flirty one of all. He was standing holding the pole situated in the middle of the subway car.

Well, they were out here for the mission, Oh don't dream on they weren't any selected spy agent or mafia's secret members.

Just a small group of friends who escaped an orphanage and chose shortcuts for survival. Robbing wallets here and there, after all, they had no choice. Veronica had a pretty average face and she was just 19, nothing too special but alluring enough to captivate undivided attention on herself and maybe that's the reason why she was chosen for stealing and the rest of them kept their watch.

It was midnight near about 12:56 am and the specific car they chose today was almost empty. Just her team members or rather friends and barely three people scattered around. Veronica was glad that one of them was sitting beside her, he seemed quite young. However, the way he has been staring at her started to prick her skin with discomfort every time her dress rode up, exposing her smooth skin under.

But she couldn't complain much. He was her prey and was about to hand her that thick wallet he was carrying behind his back pocket so carelessly. Veronica couldn't wait any longer to snatch that thing and count how much she made today, including the other two she had been able to rob.

"So Veronica, tell me more about yourself."

His soothing voice, with his cold finger caressing the skin of her nape almost provoked her to melt with tingly sensation but an abrupt question disturbed her, how the fuck he knows her name?

And that's when she recalled they were in the middle of a boring conversation, she couldn't find him anymore uninterested.

How could anyone talk for so long with a stranger? But his strong gaze on her and slight touches were kinda..... exciting her body in a way that she hated.

With the corner of her eyes, she watches the other two people leave at the second last stop and the only people left were her friends including the prey. There isn't going to be any better chance than this, she thought before fixing her eyes right on his waiting one.

"Why don't we skip the part of knowing each other........ and rather focus on giving in to the temptation."

Veronica leans her head a little forward whispering right on his lips as she scrutinizes him, if anything she wanted right now was this dumb person to hurry up. The little patience she had was rapidly running out and as if the stranger understood it too, he smashed his lips into her mouth.

His tongue instantly forced its way inside and she let out a small moan at the warm sensation. For a moment she almost lost herself in between the clashing of wet tongues, he desperately explored every inch of her mouth until his palm stroked her thighs which he has been dreaming of ever since he laid his eyes on her bringing Veronica back to her goal.

She slowly trailed her hand through his leather black pants without making it doubtful and rested them right on the belt. The moment she was ready to sneak her eager hand inside the back pocket, he lifted Veronica from her waist and placed her small body right on his lap not caring about the presence of four humans, their eyes glaring down at him with the irritating look but the younger male amongst the group Jax, he looked excited. Finding the scene too hot.

His actions caught Veronica off guard but she quickly balanced herself and comfortably perched on his thighs. The person's lips made their way down to her neck and the way he was so engrossed in tasting her skin allowed Veronica to use this perfect moment to her advantage.

She bit onto her lower lip before slipping her hand inside his back pocket, aiming for that thick wallet.

A wave of triumph rushed through her body as soon as her finger grasped the edge of soft fabric and just when she was so damn close to plucking it out, his one hand clutched her wrist and brought it in front of his view.

Her friends now were alerted, Haru instantly rose from her seat ready to take over but before she could move any forward Zane had signalled her to sit back on her previous position. There was no doubt that Veronica didn't need any help, she was very well known and taught how to handle this type of situation.

The stranger slowly hoists his head out, away from the crook of her neck, squinting his suspicious eyes and tilting his head.

"And what do you think you are doing gorgeous?"

He raised an eyebrow questioning her action as she looked at him blankly.

"Umm... Nothing, just feeling your body better this way."

She awkwardly chuckled wishing he would believe that but he wasn't so dumb after all. He shakes his head as if showing how pathetic of a move it was of her before turning his gaze towards his wallet that was right in her hold.

"You were seriously gonna let me touch your body just for my money..... That was a kinda slutty move there."

He smirked too cockily and she let out a scoff at his conceited assertion.

"I don't think so,"

His smirk flattens and turns into a frown at her remark.

"If your filthy hands had moved any lower, I would have killed you right here."

She wriggled her hand free out of his tight grip in a flash and knocked her forehead right on his nose, resulting in his head hitting the glass window behind him.

The sudden loud thud evolved inside the car of the subway eating up the space within as he started flickering his eyes, losing his consciousness before completely being passed out, with his head leaned on the window.

"That's gonna hurt boy."

Rocco squeezed his features as if demonstrating the pain through his face while Veronica stood on her feet and smoothed out the faint wrinkles of her dress.

"Now let's get out of here."

Haru said and placed her hand on Veronica's shoulder, her face held a look of pride as she handed the wallet to Zane, the oldest and mature member of the group, who was about to turn 24 in the next month.

"Yes, let's go home........ I can't wait to buy my favourite chocolate ice cream."

Jax excitedly let out, clapping his hands together and others chuckled at his cute reaction. Though Jax was already 21 he was still a kid in their eyes after all they have witnessed each other grow from childhood.
