Acknowledgments

Thank you, dear reader, for supporting my work!

I know this happened quickly, within five days, to be exact. But when the muse speaks, I listen. Thank you betas—Bill Fowlkes, Douglas Meeks, and Danyahel Norris—for stepping in just as quickly and listening with me.

Thanks, J.L. McCoy (author of the Skye Morrison Vampire Series), for the stock image, the support and the years of friendship. I hope we’ll meet in person one day.

Though I started this series in 2011, well before I knew a vampire or fetish community existed in Houston, TX, I am grateful for the time I’ve spent within the past year hanging out with and getting to know some of them. **Special shout out to Tarik Rever for embracing me and not making me feel like an outsider. Your genuineness, uniqueness, and artistic talent are just a few of the things that make you a pleasure to be around. Thanks for the friendship and good times. Much love.**

"In addition to providing an untraceable killing, I was also paid to ask no questions. I took my targets as they came, and I let the chips fall however and wherever they may. Truthfully, I’d kill anyway for the sheer enjoyment of it, plain and simple."

Timeline: This novelette (app. 12,000 words) occurs at the end of Sleepy Willow’s Loosed Soul (Vol. 3), before the Epilogue. One of the characters makes it to Wolf’s Fire (Vol. 3.2).

Chapter 1

When a manila envelope slid under my apartment door at six a.m., serenity washed over me. Finally...another target. I so looked forward to these. They usually came once a month, providing enough sanctioned nourishment and monetary allowances to make an already delicious deal sweeter. For some reason, last month had been skipped. As a result, I’d been growing more and more restless in anticipation of my next killing assignment. Now I could finally relax.
