BOSS

I keep telling myself I won't fall into King's trap, but he's determined to make me one of his knights--a group of tops at his beck and call.

He's not my king, but he wants to be--something he's made clear from day one. Sounds like some kind of twisted fairy tale, but it's just my life as a transfer student at a new university. Figured I'd be spending my time finding my way around this new school, but I spend most of it navigating King's mind games.

He calls me Boss.

That must mean I'm special, right? Or is it just another trick he's using to lure me in?

I keep telling myself I shouldn't...I can't...I won't...

But the more he pushes, the more I let my guard down. And soon, I find myself on one knee, bowing to my king...pulled into his messed-up Wonderland.

The only rules we play by are the ones King has created.

If it was all in good fun, that would be one thing. But what we share isn't healthy--it's toxic...dangerous. And for some reason, it's just what I need right now.

These games bring forth something within me--a darkness I've tried to suppress. But now that darkness is pushing to the surface, and if I'm not careful, it might just tear me apart.
