The night was calling and he stretched his limbs, ready to follow the alluring call.
Like a snake, he shed his everyday persona, leaving a trail of expensive clothes behind on the floor of his flat.
The darkness surrounded him like a warm blanket and he eagerly drew the fresh night air into his lungs. It felt so good after he'd had to endure hours in a stuffy office.
The need to obey these instincts he had to bury deep inside during the day was strong, and adrenaline flowed through his body at the thought of the prey he would hunt tonight.
He slid lithely behind the man in the dark alley, a hungry growl escaping his throat before he attacked. His mouth tasting soft flesh, nails scraping over skin. A muffled cry and an excited gasp.
The attack was over as fast as it had started and the two men sank, sated, against each other.
Only under the cloud of night could James Lester be himself and enjoy the company of a man. The darkness protected his secret as it had already done throughout his whole adult life.
