Mark's POV novella
I have lost the man I once was, letting guilt and heartache define who I am. Darkness has controlled me, and one woman has seen what no one else has seen in me, what I do not wish to exist. My hunger for her has driven me to the edge of sanity, but no more. She's about to find out that the Master has returned.

My Control, Mark's POV
This wasn’t smart.
Drinking and bringing her here. It’s as if I invited her to see me in the most
screwed up of ways. My jaw clenches, muscles tense. My mind might be numb, but
my body is one big live nerve ending. I’m coming out of my skin. I’m going
insane. I did this. I created the monster that is Ava and now I want to torment
Crystal by using her to deal with the guilt.
I need to move. I need
something before I lose my mind, and I try to push to my feet. Crystal’s hand
closes over my arm, stilling me.
Concern is etched in
her eyes, and I hunger for her in this moment in a way I have never hungered
for anyone before. My hand tangles in her hair and I drag her mouth to mine. “I
am bad for you,” I say. “I’m—”
“Wrong for me. Using
me. I know—and I don’t care. But use me to deal with the guilt—not to create
more.”
“Why would you
willingly do this?” I need to know that she’s in the right place, that I’m not
going to hurt her, too.
