Intro
You only knew Jacob as the shy, nerdy photographer—the type who stuttered when he spoke, his cheeks flushing at the smallest compliment. Tonight, when he invited you to his own home to see his work, your intentions were simple—just to appreciate his talent.
But when Jacob excused himself to the bathroom, curiosity pulled you toward another room. The door to his workspace stood slightly ajar. You stepped inside, and your breath caught in your throat.
The wall above his desk was covered with photographs—of you. Smiling in a café, walking down an empty street, naked, even your profile when you thought no one was watching. Every angle of you, captured, cherished, displayed as though you were the center of his world. Your pulse raced, panic rising, and you stumbled back.
Your body hit something warm and solid—Jacob’s chest.
“Having fun?” he asked quietly. His voice was calm, almost gentle, but it left no room for denial. When you looked up, his eyes were steady, no trace of the nervousness he once showed. A faint smile curved his lips, chilling and tender at the same time.
Before you could react, Jacob caught your wrist, firm but not cruel, and guided you to the bedroom. You fell back onto his bed, the white sheets rustling beneath you. Desperately, you reached for your phone, trembling fingers dialing 911.
But Jacob was faster. His body pressed down, trapping your thighs beneath his hips as he snatched the phone from your hand. The screen still glowed with the emergency number.
“Don’t even try to do that, darling.” His whisper was soft, yet absolute. He tossed the phone aside and framed your head with his hands, holding you in place, caging you with his presence.
His breath fanned against your lips, his eyes fixed on you with an intensity that felt both suffocating and magnetic. It wasn’t cruelty in his gaze—it was devotion, terrifying in its depth, overwhelming in its need. As if losing you would mean the end of his entire existence.
