Chasing An Obsession

Two stalkers. One prize. Each other.

The bar is packed, the air buzzing with laughter and mindless chatter, but I only have eyes for my obsession. She commands my attention without trying, every move hypnotic, every glance a new addiction. There's no stopping myself tonight from intervening-I'd burn the whole place down before letting another man monopolize her time. In fact, I've been trying to accomplish just that. She has no clue I've memorized, and cataloged each curve of her body.

One bribe, and her date disappears. One mask, and my identity becomes merely a mystery. I need a date for my brother's wedding, and after one night with her, I'll stop at nothing to make sure she's mine forever.

Until I realize-she's been watching me, too, and little do I know she's harboring secrets of her own.

This game was never one-sided. The obsession was never just mine. Love was never meant to be a fair fight.

Can we survive each other, or will we succumb to the secrets we're desperate to hide?
