Chapter Four

Spade

I’d avoided the scrutiny of others because I was a meticulous planner. Dead bodies could stack up in the morgue as long as I avoided the complication of intimate connections. No close friends. No social outings with colleagues. I blended in. An average-looking guy who was a respected member of the community.

Taking out Madden’s underlings hadn’t been difficult. Their arrogance was their weakness. I’d found mine.

A beautiful junkie with haunting eyes and a darkness that matched my own.

I trailed my fingers over the soft contour of her thin arm. She curled onto her side. My cum still streaked her flesh. I palmed her ass, tugged her flush against me, and plundered her mouth with a filthy kiss.

I wanted to taste betrayal. Trusting was dangerous. But she arched into me, weakening my resolve. For months, I’d looked for an opportunity to get to Madden. Outside of gunning him down in a public display of violence, he was untouchable.

Governments couldn’t take down a cartel. But perhaps this petite woman with a scorching need for penance held the key to unlock my need for retribution.

“You won’t get to Madden,” she said against my lips. “But I can.”

I leaned up on my elbow. “You want to kill Madden?” I asked. “Why?”

“I don’t care about your reasons,” she said. “I have reasons of my own for wanting him dead.”

“You’re not a killer. All I need from you is a way in.”

“It won’t be that simple. I can give you the code to the gate, but the property is under surveillance. You don’t just need a way in, but you’ll also need a distraction.” She lifted her hand to my face. “Whether I’m there or not, I’m helping you. That makes me an accomplice.”

“I took you by force. You’re just another one of my victims.”

“Eric, I need to be there.”

“I’m trying to find a way to be the good guy here.” I didn’t want to involve her in murder, but that didn’t mean I’d let her go either.

“You are the good guy. The only good guy I’ve met in a long time.” She dropped her hand and lowered her gaze. “I met Ayla about three years ago. We’d been hanging out for a few weeks. I was a typical struggling college student, living off ramen and mac and cheese.”

I remembered those days from medical school, living on coffee, five-dollar pizzas, and sex. Everything changed when Ella needed something more to keep up with her classes. Neither of us slept much. Then she had her first overdose…

Nalini’s voice broke through my memory.

“Ayla always had money, but she never worked. She had a great apartment.”

With her fingertip, she traced the trail of hair bisecting my abdominals. The slightest touch had my heart at a gallop. My instincts were to hold her closer, but I didn’t want to disrupt her from her story.

“She promised it was a simple exchange. Spring break in Cancun with thousands of other American college students. She paid for our trip. All-inclusive. We drank
