She had vanished—I’d even called her roommates, and they said they didn’t have a clue where she went. But I knew she would never abandon her brother, ever. Even though she had turned her back on me.
No way. No fucking way.
But it was hard to ignore Hero’s reaction to her. He almost seemed to…know her. Surely it couldn’t be? Was this a game?
From the outset, Ksenya had targeted me. But why? Did she suspect me of killing Tiffany? Did she want to use me to find out who did? She wasn’t in it to fuck me. Otherwise the deed would have been done already.
You’re crazy, Grant. Not everything is a conspiracy. After BUD/S, it took me months to walk down the street and not look at everyone as a potential threat. I was clearly paranoid.
There was only one way to know for sure.
I have to fuck her.
Se7en Deadly SEALs Box Set
I DON’T TRUST THE NAKED woman asleep in my bed, the one with the bombshell body and eerily symmetrical face. The edge of her mouth curls when she smiles, she smells like citrus, she bites her lips when she lies.
This imposter is lying to me—she claims she’s a Ukrainian stripper named Ksenya, but I’d bet my Trident that she’s my ex-girlfriend Mia, her face and body masked with plastic surgery. Her brother is in jail for murdering a stripper, and she must have kept her promise that she’d stop at nothing to exonerate him.
But I’m not going to call her bluff. Hell, no. I’m going to play her game, test her strength, see how far she’s willing to go to keep up this ruse.
My beloved girl who shuddered at the thought of lowering her inhibitions is playing my game now. She wants to get wild? I will fulfill her every fantasy.
But I control the game now, not her. It will end when I say it ends.
I’m a Navy SEAL, and I will be the last one standing.
