The Prey

she walked down the street.

first she felt his eyes
then she felt his mind

she felt his power
she felt his intellect
she saw nothing, but
she felt everything
he said nothing
but he said everything
she heard his footsteps
she heard his breathing
she heard his intentions
she heard his desire
she didn’t speed up
she didn’t slow down
she kept her eyes forward
she kept walking forward
she heard his soft breathing
she felt his warm breathing
not heavy, just breathing
he knew he could have her
she knew he would have her
she didn’t speed up
she didn’t slow down
she felt him behind her
she felt his warm breath
she felt his firm touch
she felt

he knew he would have her.

she was his.
