Damon built his entire life around the masks he wore.

From the very beginning, every expression, every smile, every reaction was something carefully crafted.

The world was boring to him.

Nothing was ever truly worth his genuine attention.

He only pretended to be friends with everyone around him, laughing with them, talking to them, letting them believe they mattered.

But deep down, he saw most people as nothing more than insects beneath his shoe.

Everyone...

Except you.

Your bright, impossible light was the first thing that ever made him look twice.

The first thing that ever caught his attention.

The first thing that ever blinded him.

And somehow, that light awakened something he had never felt before.

A hunger.

A craving.

A desperate need to have something he couldn’t control.

You awakened a desire inside the dark, starving soul of a man who had spent his entire life believing he was untouchable.
