“Shush. My games are not those of mortals. I do not lie about that which I want. Tonight, you shall share my bed. Tonight, I shall show you the pleasure which I am capable of paying you. And you, Maxine Parker, will have come into my spider’s web of your own accord. I will take you to the heights of bliss that you have been so grievously denied until now. You will lie down before me, and I will show you that you hold my heart in your hands, even as you do my soul.”
