I don't think that's what you've got. In fact, there is nothing in your pictures to even indicate that your spider is a male.

Here's what a juvenile male Steatoda borealis actually looks like (with one molt to go before maturity):

well it is not grossa or triangulosa....juvie male borealis have the thickened palps two sheds before maturity...also the half sliver on the abdomen has me thinking borealis...as does the abdomen shape [though very well fed]...but I have been wrong before
