Whisper My Name

I’d risked a lot in my life because of my job.

Pedos? Eliminated.

Cheating spouses? They always seemed to have an accident.

People who couldn’t pay their dues? Well, they needed to be taught a lesson.

The list went on and on, and I’d never once cared about the sacrifice I was making.

Until her.

Feisty, funny as hell, cute as a button…

But that all changed the night of the fire.

The night I ran in and nearly died for her.

Hell, she nearly died.

It was sheer luck that she survived that night. By all accounts, she should have died.

And that should have been my wakeup call, my chance to turn it all around.

But my life was not my own, and if she ever found out, it would be the end of whatever this was between us.

I’m no good for her, but I never wanted to change my life as much as the night I heard her Whisper My Name.
