No witnesses. That’s a code I live by and one I’ve always upheld. Yet when it comes to my petal, she makes me hesitate.I want to taste her and make her mine in the most primitive way. Ravage her. Devour her. Allowing my need for her to take hold.Unsure of who to trust, I feel the enemy closing in. I should set her free, but I can't.
