Kiss or Kill

Three years ago, a criminally insane serial killer confessed his love and threatened my life in the same breath, his an aching caress on my lips.

My voice and mask of professionalism cracked as I couldn't help asking why he wanted me, if it was just because he saw himself in me like my other patient.

It was insecurity that made me bare my soul to the Priest.

After all, fear had already made me bare my body.

What was my heart?

If I'd known what he would say, what he would do, I wouldn't have asked—or frozen in his padded cell to begin with. I would have fled from the Old Mental Asylum and never looked back, except to look over my shoulder.

Ever since then, I have looked over my shoulder, but never locked eyes with his cold ones again. Not when I was a psychiatrist. Not now I'm a patient, involuntarily committed.

If I do, will I forgive him like his angel? Or will I avenge myself like my own?

Even if it kills me . . .

Kiss or Kill is a dark villain romance.
