Endless
Obsession
By Alex Grayson
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: September 23, 2016
Synopsis
I’ve silently
watched her for a year, staying hidden in the shadows, biding my time.
She may know me as two different men, but hasn’t a clue what I’ve done.
She unknowingly became mine the minute my eyes touched her beauty.
But I’ve done things. Things she may not be able to forgive.
I know all her secrets, her habits, her preferred coffee, what she does in her spare time, her favorite lingerie brand, even that she sleeps naked.
At night, I watch her from her window. During the day, I watch her from my computer. She innocently bares her heart and body to me, and I soak up every single fucking second.
I’ve stayed away, but I’m tired of watching from afar. It’s time Poppy finds out just who I am and what I’m willing to do to take what’s mine. She may hate me when she finds out my what I’ve done, but she has no choice but to accept it. She will be my wife. She will mother my children. I will claim every part of her heart, body, and soul. Anything else is unacceptable.
Poppy Lexington has become my ultimate obsession, and I will become her uncontrollable addiction.

Unknown: Have you enjoyed the flowers I’ve sent you?
I freeze, except
for my eyes, which pop open wide in shock. My breath gets caught in my throat
when I realize this must be my mystery flower guy.
Holy hell! It’s him!
Why in the world
is he texting me? After all this time, why contact me now? And what in the hell
do I say to him? It’s become a routine. I’ve gotten used to getting the roses
and not knowing who they are from. Question after question runs through my
mind. Who is he? Why send me flowers? Why not introduce himself? Where did he
first see me? How did he find out where I worked? And how in the hell did he
get my number?
That’s my number
one question, so I ask him.
Me: How did you get my number?
It only takes
seconds for me to receive a reply, and I’m not sure how to take it.
Unknown: I have my ways. You didn’t answer my
question.
He has his ways?
What is that supposed to mean? My chest tightens with fear at his answer. I
push back the fear and ask another question I’m dying to know.
Me: They’re beautiful, thank you. Who are you?
Unknown: You’ll find out soon enough.
Umm… say what?
Another question avoided. My eyes narrow in suspicion.
Me: I’m not sure I like that answer. I have no
idea who you are. What if I don’t want to know you once I find out?
I notice the
time on my phone and pull the second thigh-high up my leg, keeping my eyes on
the screen the entire time. This is really weird, him having my number. I’m
sure it’s not too hard to get the information, but it’s the point that he went
through the trouble to get it. I hate being left in the dark like this.
My phone dings
again, and I quickly grab it.
Unknown: You’ll want to know me. Trust me.
Trust him?
That’s laughable. How can he think I’ll trust him when I have no idea who he
is?
Me: It’s hard to trust someone I don’t know.
I slip my feet
in my heels as I wait for him to reply. It’s doesn’t take long.
Unknown: You’ll learn.
Unsure of how to
respond to that, I walk back to the kitchen to get a travel mug of coffee
ready. He seems so confident, and cocky. Maybe a little too much, since it’s
coming from a total stranger. How can he be so sure?
I type out my
original question again.
Me: Who are you?
Unknown: Soon…
I grip my phone
in frustration. Now that he’s contacted me, the need to know who sends me roses
every week is overwhelming. It’s no longer a curiosity—I need to
know. I should be more afraid, but I’m not, and that gives me pause. Why am I
not more fearful? He’s obviously hiding something, right? But what?
He sends another
text before I get a chance to reply.
Unknown: Have a good day at work, Beautiful.
What? That’s it?
He has flowers delivered to me every week for eight months, messages me out of
the blue with cryptic messages, then wishes me a good day at work? Pissed off
vibes has my gut clenching. How dare he contact me and leave me hanging.
Me: That’s it? That’s all I get out of you?
I flip the off
switch on the coffee pot, grab my now full travel mug, my purse, and with phone
still in hand, I leave my house, locking it up behind me.
I’m buckling my
seatbelt when he replies.
Unknown: For now, yes.
Oh no, that
doesn’t work for me. He needs to give me something. He can’t just expect me to
accept his non-answers.
Me: How do you know me? How do you know where I
work?
Unknown: I know a lot of things about you, Poppy.
Me: You’re not helping your case of me wanting
to know you. It’s freaking me out that you know stuff about me, personal stuff,
when I don’t even know your name. That’s not normal. It’s pretty stalkerish,
don’t you think?
I notice the
time on my phone again and see I have a few minutes before I need to leave, so
I decide to wait for his reply.
Unknown: Just call me Mr. A for now. Have a safe trip
to work.
