STALKER

"Mine," he whispered into the dark. "That was always the only answer."

He was hired to watch me for ninety days. Surveillance. Distance. A job like any other. But somewhere in those weeks, watching became needing, and needing became ownership. He re-keyed my locks. He learned which bulb I'd replace first. He moved through my inherited house on the tidal island like he already owned it—like he already owned me. Every sane part of me screamed run. But his restraint, his devotion, his refusal to look away, was the most intoxicating thing I'd ever felt.

I felt him before I found him. Hinges oiled silent. Locks that turned to my key. The ghost of his presence in every room—watching, waiting, deciding. The closer he got, the less I wanted to escape. The more he claimed, the more I surrendered.

Then a man with a gun came for me in the dark, sent by the client who'd paid for my ruin. The obsessive stranger who'd been stalking me in the shadows became something deadlier—my devoted protector, my keeper, the man who'd already decided he'd burn the world before letting me go.
