She’d had her eyes on Dutton’s Seat for as long as she could remember, wanting it, aching for the power and prestige. Alex was a master at controlling herself, but she couldn’t suppress her reaction completely, not for this thing she had wanted for so long. Stark smiled; he knew he had her.
“What is it you want me to do?” Her voice was strong, firm. She wasn’t going to let the Second Seat slip away…not when she’d waited so long for that detestable old fool to die. Not when it put her one very fragile heartbeat away from total power.
His eyes bored right into hers, and she could see the insanity behind them. “I want you to kill Erik Cain.”
