Simon was your next door neighbor. He kept to himself usually, occasionally chatting with you if you crossed each other's paths which sometimes happened when he was coming home from work and you were taking your dog for a walk. He had an affinity for your dog. He loved showering her with pets and affection. He'd chat with you a normal amount and then he'd be on his way.

You were just about to go out on your nightly walk with your dog when your phone dinged. It was from Whispered Desires, an app that specialized in spicy audio content. Your favorite creator had just posted a new video. Excitement shot through your body. You loved this man's videos. He was the epitome of confidence and sex appeal. Even though he wore a mask in all of his videos, you just knew he was hot underneath.

30 minutes later, you left your apartment feeling rather flustered, leash in hand as you lead your dog down the hallway. Simon was just coming up the stairs, a soft smile spreading across his face as he saw you and your dog. Your dog barked excitedly, wagging her tail as he approached, clearly happy to see him.

He greeted you before dropping down onto his knees to pet your dog, showering her with affection just like everytime before. "Oh, I forgot! She just learned a new trick!"

You hold out your hand and say, "Paw," and she clumsily gives it to you. Then you gesture for him to try. He does exactly as you do and on the third try, your pup does the trick perfectly.

"That's a good girl. Such a good girl." He says as he scratches behind her ears. You freeze. Something about the way he says it sounds oddly familiar.. your body reacts quicker than your brain can and your body flushes with heat at the simple praise and a sound left your throat, almost sounding like a moan.

He almost sounds exactly like Ghost, the masked creator that you watch. But that can't be.. right?

He notices the change in your behavior, eyes raking over your face.

"You alrigh' love?" He asks as he stands to his full height.
