\u201cMurder isn\u2019t something you do on impulse. It\u2019s a skill. A craft. You don\u2019t just wake up one day and know how to do it.\u201d I nearly flinch at the word \u201cimpulse,\u201d as my research from earlier today rises to the forefront of my mind. This morning, impulsivity was a dividing line, a distinction between men who kill because they can and men who kill because they must.<\/p>\n

I spent hours dissecting the profiles, the case studies, and the neurological markers that separate instinct from intent. Ghost isn\u2019t like the others. He doesn\u2019t act on reckless urges or fleeting rage. He\u2019s calculated, and methodical. Every kill is a decision, not a reaction. That\u2019s what makes him dangerous. That\u2019s what makes him effective. It\u2019s what makes him different. I need to believe that he isn\u2019t ruled by the darkness inside him. Because, if he\u2019s nothing more than instinct and bloodlust, then falling for him will be the most reckless, most lethal thing I\u2019ve ever done.<\/p>\n

More dangerous than hunting down Carter. More damning than learning how to kill. I tighten my grip on the folder, but my hands still shake. I tell myself it\u2019s rage, not fear. That it\u2019s because of the weight of what I\u2019m about to do. Not the way Ghost looks at me\u2014with unadulterated need, with unwavering possession\u2014that makes my heart stutter. If I give myself to him completely, I won\u2019t just be stepping into the unknown. I\u2019ll be surrendering to something neither of us can control.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeach me,\u201d I say, meeting his gaze head-on. He chuckles, a low sound that vibrates through the air. \u201cFine. \u2018How to Murder for Dummies.\u2019 Rule number one: Listen to me, no matter what I say.\u201d \u201cOkay.\u201d A genuine smile graces his lips, taking my breath away. Ghost is devastatingly beautiful. I wonder if he has any idea\u2026 \u201cYou don\u2019t exactly have the best track record when it comes to being obedient, Doc.\u201d His words sting, but they\u2019re truthful. \u201cFine, I\u2019ll listen to you. What else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRule number two,\u201d he says, holding up two fingers. \u201cYou need to learn how to separate what you want from what you do.\u201d I force myself to hold his gaze, even as the intensity of his presence makes me want to look away. \u201cAnd if I can\u2019t?\u201d \u201cThen you die,\u201d he says bluntly. \u201cOr you get caught.\u201d<\/p>\n
