Five feet and two inches of soft curves, large breasts, and sexy hips she hides with a towel. A mane of metallic rose-colored hair that she brushes behind her back.
Her eyes are too far for me to see clearly, but I don’t need to be down there to know what they’re like. The brightest blues I’ve ever seen. Some days, I convince myself it’s the dark ring around her irises that makes her this special. On others, when I’m honest with myself, I recognize my fascination with her eyes for what it truly is.
Attraction.
Desire.
An incurable obsession.
A few months before her eighteenth birthday, that’s when it started. I saw Leighton in a new light and couldn’t look away ever since. She’s been on my mind nonstop. There’s no one out there for me but her. I’m sure of it.
I haven’t crossed any boundaries up until four months ago. Those boundaries have been getting blurry, though. I want her all to myself. All the time.
So much so that I’m starting to make plans for our future.
A future we can never have.
No one can ever know about my feelings for her.
The darkness in me is nobody’s business but mine.
But so is the girl I’m drawn to.
Mine to love. Mine to fantasize over. Mine to protect.
Mine.
If Rylan finds out, she’ll forgive me. She always does.
She won’t ever forgive her.
I don’t need to be a psychiatrist to understand that Rylan’s territorial behavior around me has a lot to do with her mother dying at childbirth. Rylan is a sweet, wounded bird. She needs her father to be there for her and only her. Nothing romantic. She loves me. And I should love no one except her.
I got the message loud and clear years ago.
I allowed her to be possessive of me. Ignored the things her strong feelings made her do.
Leighton’s movement interrupts my grim thoughts. She treads toward the sliding door that’ll lead her into the house. Her feet leave a wet trail.
My gaze doesn’t leave her. I’m eating up every move she makes. How she raises her delicate arm to open the sliding door. So elegant as she steps inside the house and disappears from view.
This is my cue.
I slip into another one of my hiding spots, my room at the end of the hallway. Leave my door ajar, switching off the lights. Like I’ve been doing almost every night she’s been sleeping here over the past few months.
To stalk her.
To invite her without a single word to watch me. She has no idea that I’m onto her. That I hear and see her touching herself when Rylan’s sleeping or when my daughter sneaks out to one of her hacking competitions.
Leighton is a dirty little girl with a dirty little secret. She’s depraved, and I’m her enabler.
Wearing all black to blend with the darkness of my room, I prey on her. Listen to her footsteps as she ascends the stairs.
Her pink hair announces her arrival. She pads into Rylan’s bedroom, then comes out again.
As expected, Leighton has a change of clothes. She’s gripping her skimpy night shorts and white T-shirt in one hand on her way to the bathroom.
Naked.
