Haunting Adeline By HD Carlton (Paperback)

"The Manipulator"

Within the realm of my influence, emotions sway like leaves in the wind, susceptible to my whims.

I orchestrate pain, conjure tears, evoke laughter and sighs with an artful touch.

Yet, in his presence, my abilities falter, like a powerless gust against an unyielding rock. His demeanor remains impervious, unaffected by my beseeching pleas.

He stands vigil, an ever-watchful sentinel, a presence unyielding, inescapable.

And my gaze remains ensnared, an unbreakable bond.

Especially when every fiber of my being yearns for his proximity.

"The Shadow"

Love was never my intention, a rogue invader that ensnared my heart.

Now entrapped, I'm drawn like a moth to her radiant smile, her entrancing eyes, her graceful movements.

Her form revealed with every layer shed...

I linger in shadows, ever watchful, ever waiting, for the moment when fate shall decree her as mine.

Once bound, my grip unyielding, a relentless grasp that defies all pleas for release.

Even when her voice begs me, the allure of her freedom remains futile.

A tale of connection and yearning, woven against a backdrop of irresistible desire.

Yet, it is recommended, though not obligatory, to acquaint oneself with the prelude, "Satan's Affair," prior to embarking on this journey.
