Mine.

Craved it.

The need to possess her nearly drove me mad.

Where she lived.
What she ate.
Where she worked.
All would be under my control.

Call it depravity.
I don’t give a damn… as long as you call her mine.

I was not a good man.
I sure as hell wasn’t a gentleman… and I had no intention of letting her go.
She was mine now.
