Book #2 Dark Obsession
Lana Harper;
I'd always liked puzzles, especially the human kind. And Asher Bennett? He was the most fascinating one I'd ever come across.
From my corner table, I watched him stroll into the café like he owned the place-broad shoulders, lazy smirk, dark hair that looked like it was styled by some god of casual perfection. He oozed charm, throwing a wink at the barista, who turned into a puddle on the spot. Classic Asher.
What he didn't know was that I'd already cracked him wide open. His social accounts, his private emails, even his encrypted texts-mine for the taking. For weeks, I'd been one step ahead, piecing together the man behind the swagger. And tonight? Tonight, I was ready to play.
"Enjoying the view?" His voice cut through my thoughts.
I looked up to find him standing over me, that damn smirk firmly in place. I tilted my head, feigning innocence. "Should I be?"
He slid into the seat across from me, leaning in like he owned the moment. "You tell me. You've been watching me since I walked in."
Bold. But I liked bold.
"Maybe I just have a thing for trainwrecks," I said with a sly smile.
Asher chuckled, low and amused. "Funny. I have a thing for troublemakers."
I leaned forward, matching his energy. "Then you're in the right place."
He didn't realize it yet, but this wasn't his game. It was mine. And I always played to win.
