The Predator (Dark Verse #1)

by RuNyx

"No one else gets to kill you, Ms. Vitalio,"

"The last face you see before you die will be mine. When it comes to death, you're mine."

She saw Tristan Caine stop on the stairs before she could speak, his entire body tensing as he turned to face Dante, his eyes cool. "She stays here," he growled. Growled.

"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."

"He couldn't keep his eyes off you."

"Unless you want me to lay you out right on that bloody car of yours and fuck you, stop moving."

And then she felt it. Lips. Soft, tender lips settling upon hers. Her heart stopped.
