My mind raced with the possibilities of what could happen to her. What if someone else saw her through the window? Would they have the same desire as I did? Would they be able to resist the temptation to break in and take her for themselves?

I couldn’t stand the thought of anyone else watching her like I was. She was mine. My obsession, my addiction, my everything. And tonight, as I stared at her through the window, I realized just how fucked up I was over her.

Storee had become my life.

The only thing that mattered.

But I needed to stay away.

I would stay away.

I was only going to watch.

I took a step closer to the window, my heart pounding in my chest. She was so close, yet so far away. I could see the brushstrokes on the painting, the way her hand moved with such grace. It was mesmerizing.

For a moment, I forgot about the danger. I forgot about the fact that I was standing outside her window. All I could think about was her, and how badly I wanted her.

I knew that staying away was the right thing to do. But I couldn’t resist the temptation to watch her. To see the way shemoved, the way her body swayed to the music that played softly in the background, the way her fingers moved gracefully over the canvas.

I could feel my body heating up as I watched her, my hands clenching into fists with the effort to resist the urge to touch her.

I needed to calm down. Breathe. Just watch.

But as she turned around and I could see the way her eyes sparkled in the moonlight, my dick hardened.

I took a step closer, my breath shallow as I watched her swipe her hair behind her ear and tilt her head back to take another sip of wine.

I knew I was being reckless, but I couldn’t help myself. The sound of her singing softly in the darkness was too much temptation for me to ignore.

Fuck me, I couldn’t even tell you why.

There was no reason for me to break the promise I’d made to myself to stay away, no logical reason to give in to my needs, no excuse for what I was about to do.

Other than the fact that I wanted to.

Other than the fact that I needed to.

I moved silently across the yard until I reached her front door, knocking lightly.

Everything in my body told me to go back to the woods. Back to my everyday life.

But my body refused to listen to my mind.

She opened the door, her eyes widening in surprise to see me standing on her front porch.

“Locke? What are you doing here? Is everything okay?” She stepped outside, closing the door behind her, and leaned against it, facing me. “What’s wrong?”

I looked into her eyes, my heart racing in my chest.

What was wrong with me? I had never been nervous around a woman.

But there was something about Storee that made me feel so fucking nervous.

I studied her face, noticing the way the moonlight reflected off her skin, the way her eyes sparkled in the darkness. I was captivated by the sight of her.

I turned to face the sea, shimmering beneath the moon. “Promise me you won’t work for the Godwins again.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a slight smile tug at her lips. Her eyes narrowed and she shook her head. “It’s a job. A paycheck. We’ve had this talk over and over.”
