The shadow should just be that. Darkness. Just the absence of light. A trick of the eye. But for me-he's something else entirely. He comes at night, uninvited yet expected, retrieving my most shameful desires from where I've buried them. I don't know his name, his face, his intentions, only that the darkness in my room seems to obey him. I know I should have stopped him the first time he broke into my room. I should have bolted the door, sealed the night out, pretending I wasn't waiting. But I didn't. And on the nights I leave the latch unlocked-I'm as guilty as he is. "When I take you, it will be with you on your back, thighs stretched apart and pussy glistening. I will fuck you. Hard. And bare."
