Addicted
She awaits in her jungle, wrapped in inviting lace, her shoes, like hissing snakes, coil up her legs, luring him into a land that he knows and knows well, a land that he has traveled to and from time and time again.
But tonight is different.
Her back arches, ready to sink her teeth into the prey. As the walls roar, she inhales the power because she knows the high only lasts for so long.
