Patience is a virtue that I mastered years ago. To properly be a predator you have to have the patience to stalk your prey. The little run in on the beach was enough of a taste to keep me satisfied until I can see her again. It's hard to ignore the ache that I feel when I think about her.
I've tried distracting myself with other girls that I meet on beaches and in clubs. Pretty girls with dark eyes and a shy smile as they try to tell me they think I'm pretty. I make them say it. I make them tell me they are pretty as I'm fucking them so hard they can barely formulate words. Their words are not as sweet as Lexi's words were. They are not as sincere as hers were.
I fuck them so hard and make them bleed and cry and beg for mercy, but there is no mercy for them. They are just pale imitations of the real thing. I'm so twisted up inside, and all I can think about is her.
"You want me to enroll in Catholic school?" Liliana asked as I cornered her in my apartment. I've thought about seducing her, but she is already claimed by someone with more power than me. "Why?"
"To watch over the kids we saved on the beach. They are very important to Aidan and James," I told her and she immediately smiled. That sweet innocent smile that no one involved in Wolfram and Hart should possess.
"Okay, sure."
She will be my eyes. I'll be able to find out everything I want about my sweet girl. But the ache hasn't dulled. The passion I feel for the prophecy child consumes me. I want her. I need her. I have to see her.
I'm in the shadows, watching, waiting, searching for her because they can't keep her locked up tight in their castle forever. She is a wild child and she is meant to run free. I'm going to show her everything this world has to offer her. I'm going to show her that she doesn't need Connor or anyone else. She has me, and I will give her everything she has ever wanted. She's been raised to believe she is a princess, and I will show her that she is truly a queen. Just like me.
