Haunting Adeline by HD Carlton

The Manipulator: I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He’s always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow: I didn’t mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can’t stay away. I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the ways she moves. The way she undresses. I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine and once she is, I’ll never let her go…
