I hope this guide makes sense and helps you during your time within the hallowed halls of Spearcrest Academy. Chapter 1 L’Amour SéverinI love easily—I always have. I loved easily as a child, trusting those around me with wide-eyed innocence. Like my first day of primary school, when everyone was very nice to me, so I brought roses for everyone in the class the following day. Or when I was six and loved my mother so much that I asked her to marry me when I was older, and when she told me she was already married, I burst into tears.I loved easily as a teenager as well, even when I was told it wasn’t the thing for boys to do. At first, I threw my heart at any girl who captured my attention. Then I threw my heart at the perfect girl—or rather, the girl I thought was perfect for me. Kayana. The girl I thought I would live with happily ever after, like the prince and princess in a fairy tale.In hindsight, proposing at sixteen could never have ever been anything more than a mistake, but I didn’t realise that back then.No—it took my heart being torn to shreds to learn from my mistakes. Like any lovesick idiot, I had to be hurt before I learned better.Before I learned how vile love is, how predatory. The way it attaches itself to a host and infects it from the inside, leeching all life and emotions from it until the host is nothing more than a husk. The way it’s addictive even as it destroys.And if love is the drug—the poison—then sex is the cure, the crimson antidote.I’m smarter now than I used to be. I surround myself with girls I can only fuck but never love. Girls who are pretty and polished, the type of girl you see on a magazine cover—almost too perfect to feel real.The problem with always going for girls your type is that they all start to look the same after a while.They dress well. They have long, curled hair, manicured nails, ethereally beautiful faces. Not just beautiful but impeccably curated, well put together. I don’t date, but I do take girls out, and if I have a girl on my arm for a party, she has to look the part. The same way I carefully select every item of clothing that goes on my body, every piece of jewellery that complements my outfit—the girl I choose must be the perfect accessory.But I’m a gentleman. If a girl enters a party on my arm, she will end the night more than satisfied. Just because I’ll never fall in love with them doesn’t mean I can’t treat them like goddesses while they’re in my bed. I love pleasure, and nothing pleases me more than pleasuring women.After all, there’s a reason I
