Predator and Prey

<p><strong>I was drawn to darkness and he was the abyss.</strong></p><p>Safe. It's a liar's word. No one is ever truly safe. Control is how I survived. I lived my life by two principles: order and excellence. My moral compass steered me out of the backwoods of Tennessee and towards the woman I was destined to become but not without gathering a few skeletons along the way. Eventually I found success but my restless relentless nature still left me feeling unsatisfied. Then I met a ghost of a man an enigma. He wanted me submissive. I wanted to know him. At first I was convinced Daniello was a figment of my imagination a beautiful and dangerous apparition with an animalistic hunger and insatiable thirst. He threatened my need for order and in his absence I became more haunted by my past. My love for him made me flesh and bone-vulnerable. I was finally a woman with something to lose and would do anything to keep it. But when my past caught up with my present it became clear that control was a farce and safe would forever remain an illusion.</p>
