It was never my intention to act on my fantasies. I'd dreamed of her for 8 months now and my fantasies were becoming more and more elaborate every day. I'd go to sleep at night imagining she was wrapped safely to my chest. So close she could hear my heartbeat and i could feel her warm breath as she slept soundly. My heart ached for her and I wanted more than anything to make her mine but she didn't even know I existed. I could have any woman I wanted but I wanted her and yet could not because I feared as soon as I had my chance, I would lose myself and hurt her with my sadistic desires. She was so pure and innocent and I knew if she were mine she could change me, make me whole.
I came from a wealthy family where power overruled love. My family made its fortune taking advantage of others. When my parents died in a car accident, I inherited their fortune. I was alone in the world with nothing but my servants to keep me company. My heart grew cold over the years and I distanced myself from the world around me. I lived a life of solitude in my family's mansion watching the world from afar. Despite my introverted tendency, I craved a companion but had given up hope until I saw her.
I don't usually do my own shopping but after being imprisoned in my mansion with only my servants as company, I had to get out. I decided to take the Escalade as it was less flashy than the Ferrari. I drove to a small local mom and pop grocer downtown. I wasn't going to shop but more to people watch. The local people were very intriguing and I envied their simple life. I'd imagine what it was like to be the father and his children shopping for cereal and spaghetti o's. This was my escape from reality. This was the closest I'd get to normality.
I rounded the soup isle and was suddenly stopped by a soft thump on my chest accompanied by the sound of crashing cans. I looked down and was surprised to see a petite girl in her early 20's sitting on the tile with her pink sun dress disheveled. My eyes traced her small brown leather sandals up her petite frame, past her soft rose lips to the most entrancing almond shaped hazel eyes I had ever seen. Her eyes were only accentuated by her long lashes and thick golden curls that surrounded her face like an angel. She stared at me startled and then reached for her shopping basket and began to place the now dented soup cans back into it. I knelt down and grabbed a can placing it in her basket hoping she'd look at me again with her angelic face. I opened my mouth to say I was sorry for bumping in to her but before I could she was quickly back on her feet and down the aisle. I watched her curls bounce as she walked away and I followed her quietly.
She hurried through the checkout line and out the door into the parking lot. I followed her keeping a watchful eye as I returned to my Escalade to adjust my mirror. From the mirror I could see her place the grocer bag in her basket, mount a pale blue bicycle and pedal off. I started my car to follow her from a safe distance. An excitement took over me as I stalked her. I kept thinking I should turn around and drive home but something about her intrigued me and I couldn't help myself. Something awakened in me that lay dormant for so long. I felt alive for the first time in a long long time. She eventually stopped at a small cottage-like house with tulips planted in the front yard. A small gray kitten was perched in the window and it was obvious she lived alone in that tiny house. From that day, my life would never be the same.
I visited her frequently since that day. Mostly in the veil of the night when I knew no one would become suspicious. I circulated my vehicles and sometimes parked a few blocks away and walked to her home on foot. I learned so much about her through the months. She worked at a local nursing home and rode her bike to work every day. On her days off, she tended to her flower garden or rode her bike to the beach a mile away where I could always find her under an umbrella with a book in her hands. Although she was astonishingly beautiful, she lacked a social life. She was withdrawn and alone like me. She always wore a look of concern and seemed so sad. I knew if she'd let me I could turn her pain into pleasure.

The nights were getting warmer so I left my window open that night. Living in such a small town, I never feared the possibility of someone breaking in to my tiny house. I often left my front door unlocked by habit. It was a long day at the nursing home so I took my shower early and dressed in my favorite silk night dress. With my book in hand I slowly faded into slumber and dreamed such a bizarre dream. I imagined someone had entered my bedroom and sat on my bed and softly touched my face. I couldn't see their face because it was so dark but I could see the outline of a man who neared me slowly. As he crossed into the moonlight I could see his handsome face. He seemed somehow familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. His dark hair and piercing blue eyes made me tremble. As he leaned in to match his lips with mine I awoke startled. My eyes darted around the room but it was empty. I lay there for an hour trying to convince myself it was just a dream and my heart rate slowed as I lay my head back down to sleep.

I had to stop doing this, letting myself get too dangerously close to her. She was going to find out I was following her, that I sometimes entered her home at night just to watch her dream. I couldn't help myself, I was obsessed. The excitement of studying her from afar was a rush I had never felt but I kept wanting more. She was my drug and I was addicted. I took her in so as to create a memory of her when we were apart. I studied her body the way an artist might. I knew her every curve from the perfect arches of her feet, her tiny ankles to her full hips, round firm ass, petite waste, ample perky C cup breasts and nipples that yearned for my lips. I traced her heart shaped face a thousand times in my mind and dreamed of her small plump lips around my long shaft. The one thing that always stayed in my mind was how beautiful her eyes were. Almond shaped, long lashes, and the most beautiful hazel I'd ever seen. Her gold curls lay tousled around her head like a halo as she slept. She was my angel, my goddess, I worshiped her and needed to make her mine.
While she slept I'd imagine different scenarios in which we'd be together. I couldn't just initiate a normal relationship with her like I had done with so many women in the past. Most women I met were shallow and desired my status and money more than a meaningful relationship. She was different and I feared if I approached her I would scare her away. I couldn't stand the thought of losing her if she rejected me. Failure was not an option. I had to devise a plan to make her mine. I had the finances to do it, I just had to plan and time my actions carefully. I couldn't risk getting noticed after being so careful all these months. One wrong move and I could lose her forever.

It had been raining all day so I was not looking forward to riding my bicycle home from the nursing home. I thought maybe if I waited for the rain to end I could make it home dry. By the time the rain let up it was getting dark. I wiped off my bicycle seat and pedaled the damp streets home. At this point I was in no hurry to get home because I knew I'd be going straight to sleep so I hopped off my bike and decided to enjoy the crisp night air. I loved the way the rain made everything smell so fresh and clean. I came across the ally I usually skipped through on my way home. It was between two empty department buildings and the night made it much darker than usual. Against my better judgment, I took a deep breathe and journeyed down the dark ally that ran about 40 yards. I could barely see my hand in front of my face it was so dark and all I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the chain of my bike as I walked it next to me. I looked behind me and considered turning back but I was already 20 yards ahead so I figured I might as well keep walking onward.
As I neared closer to the end of the ally, I could see a dark van parked up ahead. Probably a moving van for one of the stores. No one was in sight but as I neared closer I noticed the side door was open. The van made the ally way seem very narrow and I knew I would have to pass it to continue to the road ahead. I convinced myself to go on because the street was so close. I walked past the door of the van and looked inside. It was empty. I sighed with relief but before I could inhale again my mouth was covered. I tried to scream out but was paralyzed as my arms were pinned to my body by two large muscular arms. I started breathing hard and tried kicking my legs to no avail. The cloth on my mouth was held tight so that my screams were muffled and then it hit me. A sweet medicinal scent coming from the cloth reached my sinuses and everything suddenly became blurred. My body weakened and I slowly drifted away. The world closed in on me and I thought to myself, "This is it, this is the end of your life, you're dying Amelie." Everything slowly faded to black as the darkness consumed me.
