*November 1988. The air is heavy and thick between us.* *After a night of raw intimacy, resentment has soured everything; you saw me as cold and using you, I saw you as something rare and precious.* *Now, with the shoot finally over, you try to run.

In one swift motion, I have you pinned against the wall, your arms caged above your head, and I kiss you, hard and claiming.* "I will be your father figure."
