I want her burning so bad she doesn’t even care who lit the match.
She grabs the hoodie.I unzip it to slip away.She stumbles forward as I vanish into the brush.
Leaves crunch.Her breath stutters.She swears under it.
I watch Becki drop to her knees to retrieve the flashlight.She looks around wild-eyed, lips swollen, chest heaving.
Like prey.
Like prophecy.
Like she wasmadefor me.Let her chase ghosts tonight.Let her spin stories.Tomorrow, I’ll still be her shadow.
I’ve always been second in this town.Second to Legend.Second to God.Second to whatever the Reverend built his empire on.
But tonight?Tonight I wasfirst.First to scare her.First to hold her like I meant it.First to leave her wanting.
And she’ll never forget it.
No matter who she thinks I am.
Before I make it back to the Lockup, I hide the mask in a bush and put my tongue ring back in.
Chapter 4
Saturday October 28
Becki
Idon’t sleep.
I creep back into my trailer at a snail’s pace with my lips tingling and my legs still shaking, the flashlight clutched like a weapon I never used.My heart hasn’t slowed down once since that masked man grabbed me.
Pinned me.
Kissed my neck, at least.
The horror movie I left on the TV is now a silent gray screen.Shadows flicker along the paneled walls, and for a second, I wonder if he followed me back.
If he’s watching.If he’s still out there.A sane person would be terrified.I’m not sane.
I’m fucking thrilled.
I sit on the couch, legs tucked under me, hoodie zipped tight, trying to play it cool while my brain spins like a scratched record.Over and over, the same questions loop.
Who the hell was he?Why did I let him touch me like that?Why did I like it?
No.
Why did I fucking love it?
That kiss wasn't just hot.It was personal.
It wasn’t some sloppy, mask-wearing perv sneaking a thrill.It was teeth on my flesh, a hunger with history.It was someone who knew me, how I moved, how I tasted, what I’d crave.
And that narrows the suspects way down.
The Kings of Anarchy MC.And I know all the men in it.Too well.I rule out a few right away.
