The Predator (Dark Verse #1)

by RuNyx

"No one else gets to kill you, Ms. Vitalio," he spoke quietly. "The last face you see before you die will be mine. When it comes to death, you're mine."

"We've been honest so far, Ms. Vitalio," he murmured. "I'll be honest now. I despise you but I want you. Fuck it, I do. And I want you out of my system."

She saw the text, and her stomach dropped, her heart pounding. Tristan Caine: Apparently, you're not out of my system, Ms. Vitalio.

"Don't you know not to run away from predators, sweetheart? We like the hunt."

Tristan Caine terrified her, but it wasn't because of the death he was bringing her slowly, the death he would bring her one day, the death he raised in her. No. It was the life.

and Tristan… he got nose to nose with Mr. Maroni and told him — ‘You ever put a leash on me, I’ll fucking strangle you with it.’ ”
