His pieces fit mine, furnishing the spaces where I am void, abundant where I am scarce.
And yet, he’s everything I should never have wanted.
I want nothing more than to free my heart from his chains, but when he anchors his eyes on me, I forget to breathe.

I didn’t know what falling for him would do to me.
That our attraction would burn so hot that it hurt.

From his enigmatic eyes to the neck tattoo that extended past the crisp fold of his collared shirt, he screamed danger.

And without the resolve to fight against the pressure to mix business with pleasure, I slipped right underneath his thumb and into his dark world.
