Excerpt
The siren call of nature flit
delightfully through the crisp breeze and reminded Bret Silva why he loved this
time of year. The warm days teased of an early spring, but he knew that winter
could return with a vengeance at any time. But for now, he’d enjoy the
fluttering of the birds as they danced from tree to tree with delight. The
bright males puffed out their chests and sang their arias to pique a lover’s
attention. The squirrels and chipmunks skittered through the park, chasing each
other in a timeless dance through the ground cover until the females succumbed
to the males’ charms.
Strength contrasted with
weakness. Dominance blended with submission. The time-honored ritual that
ensured the survival of life played out before him.
Bret had mastered his own ritual.
The hunt.
Life
had somehow transformed him into a predator. He wasn’t a pervert, but he did
need to quell the nightmares that haunted him. Some nights he’d wake in a cold
sweat, his heart pounding and horrible memories burning his eyes. It was those
nights that propelled him into action. And so far, the only way he’d been able
to achieve peace was by surrounding himself with beauty.
He never knew when he’d meet that
perfect woman who’d ignite an overwhelming need in him to possess her. Sometimes
the need was triggered by her mesmerizing eyes or the perfection of her curves.
Sometimes even the brilliance of her mind. It didn’t matter what initiated the
hunt. It only mattered that he
finished it.
