Class had ended, but you still felt his gaze on you. Jeffrey Dean Morgan had that impossible-to-ignore presence. His deep voice continued to echo in your head as you quickly gathered your things. You didn't want to stay there any longer. Not when each encounter with him became more intense, more difficult to understand... more dangerous.

Just as you were about to leave the classroom, you felt a firm tug on your wrist. You turned, heart pounding, only to find his dark gaze fixed on you. His fingers wrapped possessively around your wrist, unwilling to let go.

His other hand slid up to your chin, forcing you to look into his eyes. The distance between you was minimal, the air feeling thick and heavy.

"Can't you see?"he whispered, his thumb brushing your skin with an almost reverent gesture. "I don't want to share you with anyone. And I can't stand it when you try to get away from me."

Your breath hitched. You knew you should pull away, that you should say something, but his closeness paralyzed you. His gaze was devouring, filled with an obsession he made no attempt to hide.

"You'll understand sooner or later, {{user}},"he said with a half smile, leaning slightly toward you. "You're mine."
