He’s everything I’ve ever wanted....

Until I see him in the spotlight and everything changes. Night after night, I watch him dance. Thinking about him. What he’d feel like. What he’d taste like. And now that I know, I want him even more. And maybe...just maybe, he might want me, too. But not yet. Not before he knows he’s more than a pretty face. Not before he knows what he means to me.

So you, sitting in the back, watching me? I know what you want. You want me. In your bed. Under you. But I say no. It doesn’t matter how many presents you give me. I’m not falling for you. I know who you are. But you don’t know me. You don’t know Austin.
