WET DESIRES (A COLLECTION OF EROTIC STORIES)

The stalker gurgled, eyes bulging, but Knox wasn't done. A silenced pistol appeared from his holster—two muffled pops, chest and head. The body jerked, then stilled, a pool spreading like ink. Silence crashed back, broken only by my sobs. Knox rose, covered in blood that wasn't his—splattered across his shirt, his face, his hands. He kicked the door shut with a thud, locking us in with the corpse. His eyes found mine, dark and possessive, not a flicker of remorse. "It's over," he said, stripping off the ruined shirt, revealing the scarred muscle beneath.
