Seduction

He's there.

He came last night. Standing in a corner. Watching.

He is interested. I can tell. In the way he watches. In the way he fidgets. How he blushes when I catch his gaze.

He is ripe for the plucking.

He is wrapped around my finger. Under my control. Taunting works so well. With words and glances. Small touches. Drives him crazy.

He does not admit it. He is ashamed. He wants me. As I want him

I flash him a smile. Only for him.

I have waited for this, saving my strength.

I have done this illusion before, duplicating myself. Always with my shin.

This is the true test of my skill. Not only multiplying, but changing.

Beautiful women. Lots of beautiful women. The men are dazzled by pale flesh, long lashes, silky hair. All my traits, just on a women's body.

They cheer and clap. Laughing. Trying to catch dancing illusions.

I smile.

I make my way to the boy. Kuroudo.

"You." I point at him. I beckon him.

He doesn't argue. Blushing as he follows me.

So beautiful, this young man. So easily manipulated.

I lead him to the hall. Then to my room.

He is mine.
