That motherfucking woman…
Is going to beg she never crossed paths with me.
CHAPTER 19
Xavier
Twenty minutesago
The manI lured into the rose maze looks up at me with shock in his eyes as I raise my knife in the moonlight.
“What the fuck? You’re that killer we’re looking for,” he growls.
He pulls out a gun and aims, but before he can shoot, I’ve already rammed the knife into his gut. Blood splutters out of his mouth and onto my shoulder as I pull the knife out of his abdomen and glance at the badge on his chest.
Officer Bob Eizenheimer.
Kissed by the fucking sun.
His filthy skin does not deserve to have touched her perfect lips.
“You fucking asshole,” I growl, stealing his gun. “You thought a kiss from her would come without a price?”
I kick him in the balls and shove him into the prickly rose bushes, staining his shirt when he coughs up blood.
“I don’t know what you mean,” he mutters.
“Of course, you do!” I grip his hair and make him look at me. “You don’t deserve to be scorched by her fucking flames.”
I thrust the knife into his side and watch him squint and yelp in pain.
“Please …” he begs, panic filling his eyes. “It wasn’t my choice. That woman came to me.”
“Why?” I bark through gritted teeth.
“Phone number…”
She asked for his phone number?
No, she would never do that. A killer like her can’t be interested in a fucker like him.
“She came onto me and asked for a date,” he groans.
“Don’t lie to me!” I yell, and I grab him by the throat.
He holds his hands up. “No lies, I swear.”
Fuck that. I will fucking end him.
“You came here to search for her.”
His eyes widen. “What?”
“She is not yours to take.”
I spin him around and push my bloodied knife underneath his chin.
“That kiss was the last you’ll ever feel,” I whisper into his ear. “Enjoy the afterlife.”
