I wanted pleasure.</p><p>We clawed and writhed and moaned for seven dark evenings.</p><p>Then he left me with vibrations I would feel even a year later.</p><p> </p><p>Now I'm out of the woods and into the bright hot sun of LA.</p><p>It's the last place I want to be. But there he is. In the light. His smile as radiant as the sun.</p><p> </p><p>With the light however come truths we hadn't shared.</p><p>He's got a reputation. The kind that guarantees what we had in the woods is all there'll ever be.</p><p> </p><p>When an unexpected opportunity arises I do what I'm known to do-<em>win</em>.</p><p>I play a cutthroat game and win myself right into a job at Red Cage.</p><p> </p><p>Now he's my boss.</p><p> </p><p>And we're about to play the most dangerous game yet.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em><strong>The True </strong></em><strong>Player </strong><em><strong>is a complete standalone.</strong></em></p>
