A Prey For My Enemy Ghost on The Docks
## Chapter 60: GhostsThe binoculars stayed perfectly frozen in my hands.The frozen rain hit the windshield of the SUV, a mindless, scratching rhythm that suddenly sounded like it was miles away. The docks, the rusted crane, Dmitri’s heavy breathing in the seat beside me—all of it faded into a dull, gray static."Boss?" Dmitri's hand moved toward the door handle, his body shifting as he peered through his own scope. "Who is that? Do we move in?"I didn't answer. I couldn't. The cold air in my lungs felt like broken glass.Through the magnified lenses, the older woman stood under the amber dash light of the utility vehicle. Her grey eyes were flat, tracking Julian’s frantic movements with the chilling precision of a machine. She looked exactly the same. The same sharp tilt of the chin. The same unyielding, aristocratic posture.For the first time in fifteen years, I wasn't looking at the docks.The rain on the glass turned into the sound of footsteps on stone. The smell of cold river
A Prey For My Enemy Stay or Leave
TATIANAThe heavy click of the turning door handle shattered the silence.Instinct took over before my brain, I shut down the computer screen and slid out of the leather chair, my bare feet silent on the rug, and dove behind the heavy velvet drapes masking the floor-to-ceiling windows just as the door swung inward.The pale morning light from the hallway cut across the mahogany desk, illuminating the stacks of folders."Boss?"Dmitri’s deep, gravelly voice rasped through the room. I held my breath, my back pressed flat against the cold glass of the window, my heart hammering so hard against my ribs I was certain he could hear it. Through the tiny fraction of a gap in the velvet, I watched his massive silhouette step into the office.His eyes scanned the room, instantly locking onto the glowing monitor and the open filebox on the desk. A dark scowl twisted his features. He stepped closer, his hand dropping instinctively toward the holster at his hip.
A Prey For My Enemy The Solakov Heir
TATIANA My breath caught in my throat, a sharp prickle of sweat breaking out along my hairline despite the chill of the early morning. I stood perfectly still on the threshold, ears straining against the heavy silence of the corridor. The air in the office smelled of cigarettes. I came looking for a weapon. I wanted the cold, hard receipts of his cruelty, the proof that would erase the sickening warmth of his skin from my fingertips and give me back my hatred. The desk was immaculate. A single leather-bound blotting pad sat in the center, flanked by a brass banker's lamp and a low stack of manila folders. I bypassed the digital terminal first, my hands drawn to the drawers. The bottom right drawer glided open with a metallic click. Inside sat a heavy, fireproof lockbox. The key was sitting directly in the lock. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic, ugly rhythm. I turned the
A Prey For My Enemy The Silence Between Us
TATIANA Kain’s thumb kept caressing my skin, but his fingers weren’t digging in with the bruising force from before. He was awake, his breath hit the back of my neck in a slow, deliberate cadence.Neither of us spoke.I kept my eyes fixed on the ceiling, as a wave of disloyalty to the people whose blood was supposed to be the only thing that mattered consumed me. I spent weeks feeding on my hatred for this man, nursing it like a spark in the dark, and tonight I had let him use my body to extinguish his own ghosts.I forced my gaze to the torn mattress inches from my face, where the dagger Julian had given me remained buried to the hilt.A much needed reminder that this wasn't a truce. I remained a captive in this house, and the man holding me against him was still the architect of my nightmare."I almost lost control tonight," Kain said.His voice broke the quiet without warning, stripped of the pristine, robotic tone he used with his men. "Yeah?" I didn't turn around. "Hmmm" he
A Prey For My Enemy The Silence Between Us
TATIANA Kain was awake. I could tell by the rigid line of his chest against my shoulder blade, and the way his breath hit the back of my neck in a slow, deliberate cadence.I was awake, too.Neither of us spoke. The silence in the room was so thick it felt physical, a wall built of everything we were desperately trying to ignore. I kept my eyes fixed on the ceiling, tracing the faint, amber patterns of the lamplight.The guilt came first, settling straight into my stomach. I felt a visceral wave of disloyalty to my the people whose blood was supposed to be the only thing that mattered. I had spent weeks feeding on my hatred for this man, nursing it like a spark in the dark, and tonight I had let him use my body to extinguish his own ghosts. I loathed the fact that my body had betrayed my mind so easily, turning the whiplash of an assassination attempt into an escape hatch.I wanted answers.Instead, I ended up in his bed.I didn't know whether to

TATIANAThe heavy click of the turning door handle shattered the silence.Instinct took over before my brain could process the panic. I didn’t shut down the computer screen; there was no time.
