Chapter 363:

Jake’s POV

My entire frame locked up like stone, and the blood instantly curdled in my veins the exact goddamn second the cold, lethal edge of that sharp metal blade pressed against the warm skin of my neck. I stayed pinned to the spot, my nerves completely frayed and pulled tight, forcing myself not to make a single sudden movement that might push her frantic hand into doing something incredibly stupid.

Holding my breath, I kept my voice flat, wrapping it in a thick layer of biting mockery to mask the intense spike of tension shooting through my chest. "Well, look at you, Julie... did you fall in love with playing the villain this quickly? The blade seems to suit you."

I could feel her shallow, burning breaths teasing the curve of my neck and my earlobe, her voice dropping into a stubborn, unyielding density that completely melted the chill in the air. "I’m absolutely loving the show. And honestly, it feels incredibly powerful to witness the edge of a knife resting against your throat while you sit there in total submission and weakness, Jake."

I twisted my mouth into a cold, arrogant smirk, channeling the absolute confidence of a predator as I answered in a low, dangerous baritone, "But your massive ego made you forget one highly critical, fatal fact, sweetheart... I’m not tied down right now. I’m completely free."

She leaned in even closer, her whisper dripping with blatant defiance and an underlying threat. "And what the hell are you going to do about it just because you’re free? Do you actually dare to move against me?"

I extended my massive hand with excruciating slowness, calculating my movements with quiet tactics.

Then, with a sudden, definitive lurch, my grip clamped down with crushing force over her slender hand where it held the handle of the knife.

"Enough playing around with sharp objects, girl," I growled, the raspy tone tearing straight from the depths of my chest. "Because at the end of the day, it’s only going to slice you open. It won’t have a single shred of mercy for that soft skin of yours."

A short, sharp, and highly provoking laugh escaped her lips, her pride swelling through the small space.

"You’re the only one who’s going to get cut by blades around here tonight, not me." She slowly and deliberately dragged the metal edge away from my skin, her green eyes remaining locked onto mine with absolute finality. "Every single time you lie straight to my face instead of giving me the absolute truth... this is exactly what I’m going to do to you. I’ll make you taste what it feels like to die."

In a fraction of a second with a velocity that completely bypassed the human eye I spun my entire frame around like lightning. My hand aggressively clamped onto her slender arm, pulling her toward me with a sudden, violent force that dragged her straight onto my lap.
