I watch the monster, learning his ways. Tonight, I will cave, succumbing to darkness. The moment I saw her in that café, I knew Cara was mine. She can deny it all she wants, but I saw the way her body betrayed her, felt the way her pulse quickened. She craves me, even if she won’t admit it. Now, my girl is right where she belongs—under my control. She thinks she can resist me, and fight against what we both know is inevitable, but I’ll never let her go. I’ll break her down, strip away every last defense until there’s nothing left but her sweet goddamn surrender. She’s my obsession, my possession, my little fucking nightmare—and soon, she’ll know there’s no escaping me. Not ever.
