The mysterious, enigmatic man that fate so unexpectedly delivered to me. He is so charismatic and breathtakingly handsome that I can't believe that such a sex god would want plain ole me. He ignites fires in me that no one has lit before. He's in my thoughts every waking moment. I can't stop thinking of him.He always seems to turn up wherever I go and there's something dark and dangerous lurking in his eyes. 

My friend Cindy urges me to seize this chance. "You need this girl," she says, but I'm scared. I'm afraid that this man has the power to uncover my darkest, most secret desires.He could destroy me...but I can't help myself. I'm as drawn to him as the moth is to the flame.
