I AM HIS FAVORITE GAME There's a fraternity buried deep into the files of the police. A cult called the FireNight. They were secretive, sinful, horrendous people. Completely unhinged and shattered to the core. I swore to stay away from them, letting me be betrothed to one who never even loved me. But then I saw another man's eyes on me . I tried to run away, but that wouldn't stop him. He'd always be wherever I was, taunting me. I begged him to let me go, but he wouldn't. But he's turned me... because I want him to take me and never let me go. I AM HER GREATEST DESIRE She's my obsession. With the way she sleeps... with the glimmer in her eyes, her smile, her anger, and her spirit. The way she bathes and the way she breathes under the covers of a sinful and sleepless night. I've been watching Cameron Envy for three whole years, staring... and waiting. Patiently wanting her to walk into the shadows. And for me to finally claim her as my own. For once she steps into my reach. I won't ever let her go.
