It was an innocent mistake.
She knocked on the wrong door. 
Mine.
 
If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. 
But I'm not. 
I'm a cruel bastard. 
 
I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own.
It should have been enough. 
But it wasn't. 
I needed more. 
Craved it. 
 
She became my obsession. 
Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. 
The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. 
 
A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. 
She didn't belong in my world. 
I would bring her only pain. 
But it was too late...
She was mine and I was keeping her.
