Serpent's Dance
Autor Larry Brooksen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2013
FIND HIM. Bernadette Kane never believed that her sister committed suicide. And what she heard about her sister’s mysterious—and sadistic—lover, Wesley Edwards, made her suspect the worst. With his good looks, private jet, and successful career, he could turn a girl’s head. And get away with murder.
SEDUCE HIM. Bernadette’s plan: use her body to seduce Wesley, use her wits to gain his confidence, and use the evidence she finds to bring him down. First, Bernadette will have to submit to whatever Wesley wants and become a willing pawn in his twisted games.
MAKE HIM PAY. But buried inside the millionaire’s inner sanctum are secrets that go farther than Bernadette ever imagined. They’re plunging her into the same nightmare that trapped her sister. And now the choice between revenge and survival will decide the outcome of Bernadette’s final—and most dangerous—game.

Extras
Sometimes I am possessed by the thought of killing him. I visualize every delicious moment of it, his expression of surprise as he recognizes my intention, the way his eyes evolve toward fear and then, as doubt becomes expectation, into utter terror, the salty flavor of his tears, and then the slow bleeding of his awareness, the last moment of which is consumed with me, and by me. I smile as I kiss him good-bye. The kiss is cold, as dead as the smile, tasting of bitter memories built on sweet but unfulfilled possibility.
And then he dies. And I am free.
This thought and the vision it paints consume me. I wonder when it is that thought becomes temptation, at what point sin is rendered mortal. After all that has happened, I should know by now.
As I drive to meet him I am reminded of these things, past and future suddenly inseparable, and I wonder which is the more damning to my soul. Then again, I haven’t given my soul a second thought since he and / began. What a strange and funny time to yearn for grace.
My lover has summoned me, and I must go to him.
I go not to forgive or even to kill, but to listen. Closure does not discriminate between the betrayer and the betrayed This I know because I am both, and the thirst for closure torments me from both sides of that judgment I can’t imagine why he wants to see me now, after the time that has passed After what he did. A part of me continues to hope that his desire has smothered his pride, that he has discovered he cannot live without me after all. Ah, the eternal deceit of the fallen ego. Of course, there is always the chance that he simply wants one final taste of the fruit he has forever rendered forbidden, on that final night when the music died, to borrow a phrase.
I am sick as I drive to the place. Our place, it was. How fitting for this final dance. I have been sick now for months—has it really been months?—perhaps tonight the book will at last be closed.
