“We meet again. I’ve been looking for you,” he said in a thundering voice.
He didn’t sound like he was going to invite me to a pleasant dinner. If anything, he sounded like he was going to eat me for dinner and maybe keep the rest of my remains for the next day.
Fuck.

CHASE
RYDEN
Iknew I wasn’t alone when I walked into my home. Drawing a knife out of the knife block, I marched toward the back door, which was slightly ajar. My heart raced when I saw the flash of blonde hair disappearing into the rows of trees.
“I’ve been looking for you. And here you are, once again in a place where you don’t fucking belong,” I shouted as I continued to chase her through the woods.
Her steps faltered for a second before she careened toward the trees. No, I wouldn’t let her escape tonight. I had already made that mistake once.
“Don’t let me catch you,” I shouted, and she laughed, her voice mingling with the chilly breeze.
“I have no intention of letting you catch me, Ryden.” That same fucking breathy voice.
“If I catch you, I’ll…” I hurtled toward her, anger pushing me. She stumbled on a tangled root. She was so close. My fingers touched the tip of her blonde wig, but before I could rip it off, she steadied herself and scrambled to the side, hurtling toward a tree.
“You’ll what?” she taunted, clearly underestimating how determined I was this time.
“Kill you. I’ll fucking kill you.”
“Yeah? I have no desire to die,” she breathed out, jumping toward her car, her fingers tightening over the handle.
Gritting my teeth, I leaped over a small bush. Just another minute, and I could wrap my hand around her throat… and…
She hissed under her breath when I slammed her car door closed.
“Fuck, let go,” she said, trying to untangle herself from me as I pressed her against the metallic body of the car. Pushing myself against her back, I caged her in. I was very aware of how soft she felt, how temptingly curvy. It wasn’t the time to notice things like that… but I did, and my cock did, too.
That’s inconvenient!
I heard the sound of her heart racing, but it wasn’t fear. She looked like she was enjoying the chase. What a twisted little thing!
“Who the fuck are you, and what were you doing in my home?” I growled out, pressing the knife against her throat, making sure not to cut her accidentally.
“I was curious about what you did with Phil,” she said. “What did you do with his body?”
This woman is a fucking menace.
What the hell did I do to deserve this?!
Well, murder.
My self-preservation begged me to end her, but a part of me didn’t want to. For all her inquisitiveness, she was still an innocent woman.
Despite the need for blood, I survived only because I had chosen to kill the worst of the worst. If I killed her, I’d be knowingly distorting the fragile balance of my twisted morality.
“Curiosity, they say, killed the fucking cat. It might become true in your case, Blondie,” I said, tugging her wig forcefully, making her groan.
“You won’t kill me,” she said, her voice sure and steady. “Let me go, Ryden. I promise your secrets are safe with me. I’ve no plan to disturb your life.”
“What are you then? Some kind of murder groupie?”
