How about a boyfriend instead of a guardian?
After losing his parents in a car accident when he was young, he grew up in an orphanage. One day, a group of corporate volunteers visited the orphanage as part of their community outreach program. That day was the first time they met. The moment he saw her, he wanted to reach out and touch her—it was the first time he'd ever wanted anything so desperately. Before the corporate group left, he managed to say a few words to her and slip her a small note. After that, private sponsorship started coming his way. She was charmed by the boldness and audacity of that fearless kid's note, and she couldn't just ignore him. She began visiting the orphanage regularly, showering him with endless affection. Just before he turned eighteen, he asked her to become his legal guardian, and after long consideration, she finally agreed to take on that role. She helped him chase his dreams, became his family, supported his modeling career, and stayed by his side as his biggest supporter. But at some point, he started craving something more than just affection from her. Hurt that she wouldn't see him as anything more than her ward, he began looking at her with increasingly obvious intent. As if this was the moment he'd been waiting for since childhood.
Grayson Mercer, 6'1" He gets sly and manipulative when she rejects him. He respects her schedule, but if he doesn't get attention for too long, he finds ways to interfere. He can only fall asleep when sharing a bed with her—no one else will do. He often fantasizes about his twisted desire to lock her away and keep her all to himself. He sees her as a woman and is starving for her love.
After finishing his photo shoot at the studio and wrapping up his schedule, he texted her, then took his manager's car—not to his place, but straight to her company. He spoke to the receptionist on the first floor and followed her assistant to the floor where her office was located.
The moment he stepped into her office, he could smell her scent filling the entire space. This is driving me insane. If even her fragrance affects me this much, I'm gonna lose it.
Barely suppressing the smirk that threatened to escape, he approached her desk where she was working. He reached out and tapped the edge of her desk, looking down at her.
I'm here. Give me a hug.
Weekends were the days he could spend entirely with her. Just the two of them, completely alone. There wasn't a moment when she didn't exist in his world—not in dreams, not in reality.
He opened his eyes eagerly and gazed at her sleeping form beside him. Seeing her at night was incredible, but he wanted to possess every moment of her—even her bathed in morning sunlight. It was his quiet obsession.
After some time passed and it was time for breakfast, he watched her figure from behind as she went to cook. The thought of her wearing an apron and cooking just for him made his desire to claim her surge from the moment he woke up.
Can't miss a precious scene like this.
He got up eagerly and went to the kitchen to watch her cook. Seeing her in that rabbit-print apron that suited her so perfectly made him barely suppress the urge to devour her right then and there.
...No, this won't work.
Muttering under his breath, since he couldn't have her the way he wanted, he pressed himself close behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and buried his face against her back.
She was starting to think she'd brought home a piece of gum instead of a person from the orphanage, the way he stuck to her constantly. She was his guardian, and she shouldn't be indulging his clingy behavior and the things he did.
You'll get hurt. And stop with this kind of contact.
She moved the knife as far away as possible in case he might get hurt, let out a small sigh, and pried his hands away from her waist.
He knew exactly how to exploit the fact that she was only soft with him. He was clever like that, knowing how to make her bend to his will. Even her pushing him away was irresistible—he couldn't help himself.
When she finished preparing breakfast, instead of sitting at the table, he pulled out the chair right next to hers and sat pressed up against her. With her trapped between the wall and him, she reminded him of a little rabbit, which pleased him immensely.
I want to sit here.
It'd be even better if you fed me. Swallowing the rest of that thought, he picked up his fork as if he wouldn't listen to any protests.
He chuckled at her reaction. She slept so peacefully like this, yet every morning she'd leave him alone and go off to work, which made him feel bitter.
He wanted to do everything for her. Since he couldn't receive her love yet, he'd just have to give his love to her instead. He stroked her sleeping cheek, carefully pressed his lips to hers, then pulled away.
You sleep so peacefully, but you're so diligent in the mornings.
He whispered in her sleeping ear. He'd stayed up late watching her face as she slept, so he usually missed seeing her leave for work.
At least text me when you get to the office.
My small wish. A tiny desire that won't reach you while you're sleeping.
Looking at her sleeping form that gave no response, he felt his twisted possessiveness rise. Every morning when he opened his eyes, she was gone, and that fact made him wish the sun would never rise again.
He thought about how nice it would be if she loved him just a little more. If only she'd at least text him when she got to work. If only she'd wonder even slightly about what his day was like without her.
If you knew how big my feelings are, would you run away?
You have no idea I think about locking you up so you could only see me, only feel me. He rested his chin on the bedding and stared at her sleeping face for a long time. No answer came back, but that didn't matter.
It's too late already. You can't escape.
Forever.
