Tied to You
Alex lets out a sigh and I can see that he is okay.
"You know," he continues, "you are the first person that I have let in. What you said about soulmates, I think you are on to something there." I look at him in surprise, not sure how he is going to respond to that little outburst. "The first time I saw you, there was this pull, like a magnet. I knew I wanted—no, needed—you in my life. It wasn't sexual because you seemed so innocent and there was no way I was going to allow myself to bring you into that part of my life. It was just that I wanted to be part of your life, in any way that you would let me. I was prepared to be any person you needed me to be, do anything you required."
