Excerpt from Peterβs POV
βAre you going to kill me?β
Sheβs tryingβand failingβto keep her voice steady. Still, I admire her attempt at composure. I approached her in public to make her feel safer, but sheβs too smart to fall for that. If theyβve told her anything about my background, she must realize I can snap her neck faster than she can scream for help.
βNo,β I answer, leaning closer as a louder song comes on. βIβm not going to kill you.β
βThen what do you want from me?β
Sheβs shaking in my hold, and something about that both intrigues and disturbs me. I donβt want her to be afraid of me, but at the same time, I like having her at my mercy. Her fear calls to the predator within me, turning my desire for her into something darker.
Sheβs captured prey, soft and sweet and mine to devour.
Bending my head, I bury my nose in her fragrant hair and murmur into her ear, βMeet me at the Starbucks near your house at noon tomorrow, and weβll talk there. Iβll tell you whatever you want to know.β
I pull back, and she stares at me, her eyes huge in her pale face. I know what sheβs thinking, so I lean in again, dipping my head so my mouth is next to her ear.
βIf you contact the FBI, theyβll try to hide you from me. Just like they tried to hide your husband and the others on my list. Theyβll uproot you, take you away from your parents and your career, and it will all be for nothing. Iβll find you, no matter where you go, Saraβ¦ no matter what they do to keep you from me.β My lips brush against the rim of her ear, and I feel her breath hitch. βAlternatively, they might want to use you as bait. If thatβs the caseβif they set a trap for meβIβll know, and our next meeting wonβt be over coffee.β
She shudders, and I drag in a deep breath, inhaling her delicate scent one last time before releasing her.
Stepping back, I melt into the crowd and message Anton to get the crew into positions.
I have to make sure she gets home safe and sound, unmolested by anyone but me.
