The felt is a kingdom of velvet and green,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonrQS1yOjh
Where he plays the monarch, the king of the scene.
Balls stood in waiting, polished and clean,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKGvIMTMJ
Loyal subjects awaiting their king and queen.
As he built the perimeter, careful and slow,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2VYKzVncL
Mistaking possession for something to know.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUslRPb00wE
"The game is like you," he purred, close to my ear,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrgkLrjBUH
"Beautifully complex, but I know how to make you submit, so do not fear."
He leans on the table, like a predator, a little off-balance,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNKunXHYP6
A flick of the wrist, marking something as a half practiced challenge.
The crack of the break echoed through the hall,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBm69BlrPz
And the balls scattered wide like a kingdom's fall.
He chalked his cue and studied the spread,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7WfAV6RF
Mapping victories inside his head.
He caught my eye, his grin slow and venomously sweet:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzk7w7pShW
"Don't look so bored," he teased with a bite,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pZYEcVimm
"I’m just clearing the path so you have nowhere left to hide tonight."
His knuckles grew tinted in blue; a sharp cobalt dye,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uxjstgq8X
A smudge of obsession in the corner of his eyes.
He builds a firm bridge with a hand cold as slate,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLCxOEVPC
Dictating the collision, to decide my fate.
"The angles are perfect," he whispered, eyes keen,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOgx8pHjXk
"Every path on this table leads home to me; can't you see what I mean?"
He believed control lived within the cue,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznhriL5mK0
While fate hid itself in what I would do.
He aimed for the pockets in sight,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidyjZ1ing
I aimed for the man behind the strike.
Bank shot, side shot, his focus precise;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJPYdDdBYs
He fenced every angle and called it his right.
The cue ball danced at the mercy of his hand,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITZwpUL9yL
Although desire obeys no single command.
He drew a breath and took his aim,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M2HBz409A
Certain this shot would seal his reign:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek9zBlpguI
"Watch closely, sweetheart—this seals the night;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29sUQPJ9fq
Tell me you feel it, the way you're already mine?"
The pocket welcomed the final sphere;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2wDC8Bk0s
Eight sunk — game clear.
He looked at me as champions do,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuv5WacqbU
Expecting ownership to follow through.
He asked who won between us two.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPhdD18aYc
I smiled and chalked another cue.
He called the play; I called his bluff.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcKzxj0sTF
For wanting a crown is never enough.
I smiled.
For while he conquered every ball to prove me wrong,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmmykpQlBh
The table had been mine all along.
Trapped in illusions, blind as could be,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxiqBIzdB
Never noticed the game was me.
