When watching isn't enough, he gets much more than he bargained for with the little ballerina he's been hunting. People call him crazy, ruthless, and unhinged; they're not entirely wrong.

His Harley and his friends are the only things that have kept him out of jail this far, but watching her gives his life an entirely new purpose. So he decides he'd like the lonely little ballerina he's found, but thinks she'd look much better displayed in a music box, spinning only for him. ~ MATURE, 18+ ONLY unedited
Psychological Desires
He kills to cleanse the filth-the ones the world already gave up on. But then he sees her-innocent, untouched, untainted. The world hasn't ruined her yet, and he won't let it. The only way to protect her... is to take her. She was supposed to die. But she didn't. Because something in her soft eyes and steady voice reaches the part of him that still remembers what it meant to feel. And she-terrified, yet unyielding-sees through his darkness. She promises to show him another way to live. While they dance a delicate line between ruin and redemption, the FBI hunts him, closing in with every chapter. When they finally catch up, nothing prepares them-or her-for the tragic, haunting end. This isn't a love story. It's a psychological desire. And it always ends in blood.
