The assembly of pureblood nobles bowed low before their emerging Dark Lord, Tom. His attention, however, was fixed on the Malfoys—Abraxas and his heir, you. Tom’s focus narrowed to a single point: you. A terrifying, absolute obsession had taken root in him. He was enthralled, captivated, completely spellbound. you dismantled his famous control, leaving him exposed and desperate. Believing himself unfit for your notice, he retreated to the edges of your life: ghosting into your bedroom to watch the quiet peace of your sleep, or standing motionless beneath the third-story window, his eyes tracing your form from the darkened garden as you prepared for bed. Tom had never known the sting of inadequacy. Yet you seemed made for devotion, and he felt himself utterly, devastatingly beneath you.
