The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 101
He lets out a strangled cry.Disgust crawls through me the second my hand touches him, even through my gloves.I release him immediately like his skin burns.Victor turns shakily toward me.“W-Who are you?” he stammers. “Did Gerald send you?”My lips twist. “I have no idea who Gerald is.”I raise my gun slowly, leveling it at him, the silencer gleaming beneath the dim light.“But if Gerald is the grim reaper…” I tilt my head. “Then I guess you can say he sent me.”His face drains of color.“H-how much did they pay you?” he blurts, his voice reeking of desperation. “I’ll double it… No, I’ll triple it.”“I don’t need your money,” I sneer.I step closer slowly.“People like you always think you can get away with anything because you’re rich.” My voice lowers. “Like money somehow places you above consequences.”River’s voice cuts sharply through the in-ear.“Nikolai. Stop playing with him. We’re running out of time.”Victor reaches into his pocket with shaky hands and pulls out a gun.“Th

NIKOLAII start making my way off the roof.River’s voice filters through the comms. “Remember to enter through the East entrance. And Nikolai?”I step backward toward the fire escape.“Yeah?”“Do a clean job. We don’t need anything traced back to us.”I smirk coldly. “I always do.”Then I jump.My boots hit the lower fire escape with barely a sound before I descend rapidly toward the alley below.I start moving fast, focusing on disposing of as many guards as I can.One guard rounds the corner near the east entrance.He barely has time to register my presence before I grab him by the throat and slam him silently into the wall.His mouth opens in a silent scream as he falls to the ground.I check his pulse. It’s faint but still there.Good. We don’t need to leave a lot of dead bodies behind.The less messy this is, the better.“Jesus Christ,” Caleb mutters through the comms.“What?” I ask calmly as I drag the body behind a dumpster.“It’s insane how you manage to do that so casually.”
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER NINETY-NINE
NIKOLAIAnticipation swirls through me as I watch the activity below from my spot at the edge of the rooftop where I crouch near the ledge, one gloved hand resting against the concrete.This is the part I like the most. The waiting just before the true action begins.It makes me a little giddy just thinking about it.Below me, headlights cut through the darkness.I check the time on my wristwatch. 11:08pm. He’s eight minutes past schedule but that’s fine.The most important thing is that he’s here.Two black SUVs roll toward the warehouse entrance before coming to a stop.I watch calmly as a man steps out of the front seat and opens the back door of one of the SUVs.Victor Hale steps out in an expensive charcoal suit, one hand adjusting the cufflinks as he walks toward the warehouse confidently.Disgust swirls through me.I can’t stand men like him. Men that look polished on the outside while hiding rot underneath their skin.“Target just entered the building,” I murmur into the in-ea
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT
JULIAN Nikolai hesitates as he watches me. He must see something in my expression because he adds, “It’s not that bad. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. At least, I know a little about my heritage.” “Heritage?” “Yeah. I’m Russian. Or partly, at least. My mother is Russian while my father is American.” I snap my fingers. “I knew it. Or at least I suspected. Because of your name.” I lean across the table. “So can you speak Russian?” “No.” I deflate a little at that. He raises an eyebrow, noticing my reaction. “You look weirdly disappointed.” “Well, yeah. How come you don’t speak Russian?” “Because it’s a language I don’t give a fuck about,” he says, his voice tight. “Why should I care to learn a language spoken by someone who didn’t stay long enough to teach me?” For the first time since he’s started talking about this, he finally shows a reaction, a muscle ticking in his jaw. But just as fast as it comes, he exhales and his expression evens out again. “Forget about tha
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN
JULIAN A few minutes later, the boat slows to a stop near the middle of the lake. Everything around us is quiet except for the gentle sound of water. I frown. “Why are we stopping?” A thought hits me and I gasp. “Wait, did the engine die? Are we stuck?!” “Relax,” Nikolai says immediately. “I stopped it myself. Fuck, I had no idea you were this melodramatic.” “What am I supposed to think when the boat stops in the middle of the ocean?” “You’re supposed to trust me.” He holds out a hand. “Come on.” I take it without thinking. “Where are we going?” “The upper deck.” I didn’t think it was possible but the upper deck is even more beautiful than anything I’ve seen so far. A small table is set near the railing, understated but expensive in the way everything about this boat is. Dark plates sit neatly on a crisp linen, silverware catching the soft glow of the lights. Two crystal glasses rest near the center beside a chilled bottle tucked into a silver ice bucket, condensation slidin

JULIAN With that, he swerves the car into a dirt path off the road. It’s at that moment that I really begin to wonder if he really means to kill me in the woods after all, despite what he says. But then, a few minutes later, he slows down in front of a gated entrance. The gates slide open automatically the second the headlights hit them, revealing a narrow road that curves toward the water. The dock comes into view gradually. Soft golden lights line the wooden walkway, reflecting against the dark surface of the ocean below in broken streaks of gold and silver, the water moving lazily against the posts beneath the dock. A yacht sits near the far end of the private dock, sleek and looking impossibly polished and expensive beneath the lights. I turn to Nikolai as he parks the car and cuts off the engine. I barely contain my excitement when I say, “Are we going to ride that?” “Obviously. Why else would I bring you here?” With that, he opens the car door and gets out. I seethe

NIKOLAIIt’s not often that I’m unsure of my decisions.I think logically before I do anything, making sure my emotions are not in play. That they don’t interfere with what I’m doing.Sometimes, that involved sacrificing the things I wanted to do and going with what I have to do. Going with what is

JULIAN He raises a hand to signal the bartender and he comes running to our table, like a puppet tugged by invisible strings. He’s a little too eager as he converses with Nikolai who remains polite in contrast. “Something light,” he says. The bartender nods, his gaze lingers a little bit longer
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
JULIANMy pulse stutters, then picks back up, betraying me in a way I can’t mask.His perusal should make me feel uncomfortable.And it does. Just not in the way I expect.Nikolai doesn’t move or say a word. He just continues to stare, his gaze almost predatory.I’m about to break the weird standof
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
JULIANI shouldn’t be here.The thought repeats in my head for what feels like the hundredth time as I stand across the street, staring at the bar.It looks exactly like the picture Theo showed me.Dim lighting filters through tinted glass windows. The exterior is sleek, almost minimalistic, but th
