CHAPTER 20

the mask

I kick open the door to the house, and the stench of blood and grime clings to me like a second skin. My latest kill, one of the distributors, was just another stepping stone in my own clandestine crusade, a necessary bloodshed. I'm still riding that high, the raw, addictive rush of being the hunter, taking a life.

The first order of business is surveillance. I need to see her, to watch Fallon's through the unblinking eyes of the security cams. I make a beeline to the screens, the flickering of monitors a silent greeting. As I scan the footage, there she is my little bunny, sitting with Franco this morning, her innocent eyes wide but probing, a look I know too well. Franco's glance, fuck, the way that snake watches her when she's not paying attention, it's something feral, something that sets my blood ablaze with possessiveness. And not surprisingly, she's been prying, asking too many damn questions. Again.

She's mine, all spitfire and defiance wrapped in a package too fucking beautiful for this world. Watching her, seeing her interact with Franco, it's like a gut punch every damn time. My grip's vice-like on the mask in my hand, the skeleton mask still stained with the blood of the man I just cut into pieces, alive, little bit by bit.

I can't keep the growl from my throat, imagining that blood was spilled for her to keep her safe from the filth. I slip the mask on, its presence a familiar embrace, the adrenaline surging new life into my veins. I move, swift and silent, a specter drawn to her room. I need to remind her, to etch it into her fucking being, that her curiosity, her questions, they come with a price. In my world, you don't just ask. You learn to obey.

I stalk the corridors, a ghostly avenger with a burning need to dominate. As I draw closer to Fallon's room, my breaths are deep and even, the chill of the mask contrasting with the fire in my gut. She needs to be taught a lesson. One she won't forget anytime soon.

I burst into Fallon's room, my entrance a blend of force and precision that's got my blood pumping hard. She's there, startled from her relaxed position.

I can tell she doesn't know it's me beneath the skeleton's face, and the fear dancing in her eyes is intoxicating, fueling a deep excitement within me. Her panic, thick as the darkness we're enveloped in, scrambles her senses, making her hurl objects in blind terror.

Her desperation is a melody to my ears, and it sets my pulse throbbing in a dangerous rhythm. My dick is so hard it hurts. I stalk towards her, my blade an extension of my hand, glinting sinisterly in the meager light. With practiced swiftness, I grab her, my movements so fluid and assured that it's like we're in a dance designed by fate.

My arm snakes around her, the knife pressing close enough under her chin to promise danger without spilling her precious blood, yet.
