No, they aren’t mine. I wish they were, but they aren’t. The boys belong to their creators, and lyrics from Not an Addict belong to K's Choice. I make no money off any of them; I just take them out, put them in pretty dresses, and make them fight each other. No harm, no foul. Feed the writer. Review. Thanks to John for betaeing!
Not an Addict

•••

/Fingernails dig into pale flesh, scrabbling for purchase./

The seething, pounding need of lust drives them on. Devils made of want riding at their tails, the crack of whips forestalling any pause.

/Eyes closed to block out the sight./

These bodies aren't the ones they want, but so long as they do not see, the illusion holds. After all, the skin's the right temperature. Cool(hot) and ivory-in-the-dark. Scars, sweat and the faintest tinge of fear. What they've been missing.

But the skin is the same.

/Not an addict./

It doesn't matter if this isn't the real thing, they'll take what they can get. Push, press and there--open and waiting--taking is the easiest thing they've ever forced themselves to do.

/If you don't have it you're on the other side/

Can't do without. Tried, failed. This will suffice. Must.

/Fangs splitting through layers as blood fills the heart. Stopping not stopping go on, please go on./

/I feel alive I feel I/

And afterwards, nothing.
