Its my first time writing this genre...
Asher sat behind the counter, his fingers tracing the edges of a worn book he'd read dozen of times, even without gazing at the book he seems to repeatedly the exact words written in book... as he already memorized the whole book. But it wasn't the book that held him capative but her. She was the vision of perfection is Asher's eyes....long curly hair, with perfect and fit body and voice once you hear it will sound like an angel whispered in your ears that one want to hear it everytime and wanting to hear the sound of her crying, and a tiny creases in the skin, a gentle curve appear on her cheek whenever she smile... i want to keep that smile to myself, why only smile when i want the whole her for mine. He didn't fall for her smile or her grace but for the fire she ignited in him, a hunger that consumed him. "She comes every Sunday and sit in croner reading the books or novels. I can't help myself staring at her." Asher mumbled...
Asher Pov:
Its not like in my life I wanted a thing and I didn't get, either a toy, a girl. Being the youngest Son of prestigious and rich family, i never lacked anything in my life....And this part-time job is just for her. Yeah this library is the place where I met her and from that day she's been constantly in mind... refusing to leave from my mind and heart. Celeste her name, I never dared to ask her name. But got to know because of library registery book.
CELESTE! CELESTE!! CELESTE!!! CELESTE!!!! CELESTE!!! CELESTE!! CELESTE!!!! CELESTE!! CELESTE!
a name constantly repeating in my mind.... its like a forbidden curse... even her name is telling how angelic she is, I can't help myself to imagine how angelic she'll look while crying, tears shedding from her eyes to her dimpled cheeks and lastly till her graceful and straight neck. He was grinning ears to ears while memorising his thought.
He told himself it is love. That's what a decent man would call it, wouldn't he? Love, pure and noble. But deep down, the shadowed corner of is soul, he know the truth. It wasn't her heart he carved, nor her smile, nor her body--it was her presence, her nearness. He wanted to posses her, to keep her locked in his wall, wanting to put the shackle around her neck, a living muse for his restless desires. LUST not LOVE was the ink that stained his thoughts.
One day she approached him, "Excuse me, I'm looking for a book HIS TWISTED PAST- will you help me find it?" Celeste asked Asher's heart was racing like he won a prize.... just because he heard her voice a question asked only for him. Asher went to his delusional land once again. "Ummm.... excuse me? are you listening? i asked where can i find a book His Twisted Past? Seems like you don't know as well, maybe i should find myself." Celeste said.
With hearing this Asher's thought came back to earth. "I'm sorry, Your voice is so angelic I couldn't help but to lost in thought." He said. She smiled with a slight blush on her cheeks and replied, "Thank you." His eyes captured the moment and he grinned. "I know where is His Twisted Past book is, come with me, I'll show you the way." he replied, his voice steady despite the tremor in his chest. He stood up and leading her towards the fiction section, his mind was racing with a thousand of lies he'd rehearse. Maybe it's not here. Book is misplaced. Stay longer. I'll find it for you. Someone might take it. As they were walking side by side he glanced at her neck, I should buy shackle soon. I used to thought she is short-height but i was wrong, she is reaching till my shoulder. I'm 6'8 she might be around 5'10 or 6'0.
"Excuse me are you sure the book is here?" She confusedly asked. He replied "It must be in this section." He didn’t care for her thoughts or her dreams; he admired her as one might admire a sculpture, flawless in its form, existing only to be coveted. “It should be here,” he said, gesturing vaguely at a shelf, knowing full well the book was three rows over. A lie, small but deliberate, to stretch the moment.
He glanced at her again. She bit her lip and scanned the titles, "Are you sure? I don't see it."
“I’ll check again,” he said, stepping closer, his breath catching as her scent—faint lavender and paper dust—filled the air. His fingers brushed hers as he reached for a random book, a jolt of heat surging through him. She pulled back slightly, unaware of the war he fought within—to grab her, to hold her, to claim her as his own.
"Sorry" She said. Her voice were barely above whispered. "It's not here," She said after a moment, her tone linger in frustration. "Maybe next time," She said with sad voice.
"I can order for you" Asher burst out. "Specially. For you." Another lie. Library has no such services, he said deliberately so it gives him a chance for her to talk with him.
She smiled faintly, a polite curve of her lips that he twisted into something more in his mind. “That’s kind of you. I’ll come back Tommorow.” And with that, she turned, leaving him alone among the shelves, his hands trembling with unspent desire. After that day She started coming to library daily in hope she'll find a book today.
Days turned into weeks, and Asher’s lies grew bolder. He hid books she sought, feigned delays, spun tales of lost shipments—anything to keep her returning. Each visit fed his obsession, his lust cloaking itself in the guise of care. Celeste, ever patient, never suspected the web he wove, her trust a blade that cut him deeper with every gentle word.
"It's been almost month, you still can't find it?" Celeste frustrated said. He smiles and said," Perfect timing, Here is the book you asked for" He handed her the book. She flushed little to his smile. Of course who wouldn't blush when a handsome man smile in front of you. "Thank you" she said.
With a book in her hand she left from counter and sit on her place, while going through book she found a note in it. She put the book aside and start reading the note, "Your smile is so pretty, Every time I see it I can't help but to admire it, Seems like you are God's favorite child that's why you look like an angel ascend from heaven itself." -Your secret admirer
She smiles and glanced at counter... She found Asher was staring at her without blinking. Likewise, she understood right away this note is from Counter boy.
Celeste Pov:
I'm and average girl. But I'm fond of books and novels a lot… But as my busy schedule I can't get time to visit library on weekdays, so I visit library on weekends only and Saw this Counter boy every day… He thinks I don't notice, but I find him staring at me with eyes that he wants to talk with me, So I found a reason for him to talk with me with this book. Although I already read this book long ago, and I know this books won't be in this library. And now I found a cute note in this book. Maybe this book will be the most memorable books of mine.
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months they became friends and starts to talk casually. Asher is very secretive towards her, he never let her know his lust over her.
One day while casually chatting "Umm... Asher do you fond of this book? From the first time I know you, you seems you reading this everyday" Celeste confusedly asked. Asher awkwardly said "Why don't you try yourself?" "Sure" Her eyes sparkles while she said this. THE SHADOW MONARCH "The title seems interesting" She said.
After that they started talking about they like and dislike and books. Asher started noticing every thing about Celeste. He got to know every habit of her, Celeste becomes comfortable with Asher and started to share her secrets with him…. But opposite for Asher he was still in dark he thought her as a mere tool a doll he finally got after longing for many months. Celeste only know Little about Asher like he is from rich family and one day he came to this library to find a book and saw her and decided to work here on part-time because of her.
How naive she is, He smirked while thinking. "It's easy to win over girls like her, that's why I only think them as doll that I play till I found them interesting till I'm fond of it. After that when I lose interest just toss them aside or tear them apart. Or Maybe if I don't lose interest till end make it mine so no one can see it or feel it even if tearing them apart from the whole world. His Darkness whispered him this.
They started hangout after library hour whenever Celeste is free. Went to amusement park, Café, and biggest library in the city and many various places... Celeste enjoyed the time she spends with Asher and started to fond him... She started to develop feelings for him and a thought appear in her mind that he love her to that's why he is going through such length to become friends to close friends and to go on dates... She spends hours choosing what to wear...and now she started coming to library dolling herself because she got to know Asher like someone with doll appearance.
It didn't affect Asher any further he still thinks of her the way he used to think first… But with the changes appearing in her his lust his obsession over her grew further and further. Now it seems like there is no way back. He can't think straight with her... And dark thoughts start to consuming him more and more. SHE IS ALREADY MINE NO SHE IS NOT I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER SO CAN BE MINE, MINE ALONE I WANT TO DESTROY THE PERSON WHO GLANCE AT HER EVEN WHO ADMIRE HER NOT EVEN GUY BUT GIRLS AS WELL I DON'T WANT HER BE CLOSE WITH ANYONE BUT MYSELF ONLY. WHAT IF SHE GOT TO KNOW ABOUT MY THOUGHTS ON HER AND WHAT IF SHE DECIDED TO LEAVE.... NO I CAN'T LET IT HAPPENED NEVER EVERY UNLESS SHE'LL BE MY PRISONER. I'M TIRED OF THIS CAT AND MOUSE GAME NOW, I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING MOVE ON TO MY FINAL PLAN TO MAKE HER MINE FOREVER. He grins ears to ears.
In library, they were sitting together on counter like they used to, "Are you free this Sunday?" Asher asked. Her heart was pounding as if he finally decided to take a step forward and is going to confess... Many thoughts like this wandering in her mind. She said, "Yes I'm free, but why?" He smiled and said "Want to come to my house?" Things are going to fast she thought... "There is a something I want to show you in my house" He said. She agreed to come visit his house.
As promised she gets ready and dolled herself... Pull yourself together Celeste… He just wants to show you something nothing else don't think so much... She followed the location he sent her … She rang the bell, rang again. He opened the door. She entered.
He made her sit on couch in living room… "Did you live alone?" She asked as she didn't see anyone besides them. He brings the water and said "Yes, i Live alone." "So what you wanted to show me?" She asked.
"Come with me, it's in bedroom," he said. "Bed...bedroom" she said, and She quaffs the water in one sip, her face flushing with a subtle blush. She lost consciousness.
After half and hour she woke up and found herself in shackle and someone staring at her like the stare will piercing a hole in her face it was a creepy smile given by Asher.
You woke up darling. "What is the meaning of this Asher" She asked while shivering... "YOU ARE FINALLY MINE DARLING" Asher said.
Who thought that Sunday was the last She met the world.
WITH THAT LUST WINS AND HUMANITY LOST
