Halloween Night

She feels so fucking good. Her pussy continues to pulse around my softening cock as she rides out the last waves of her orgasm. Through the thin walls of her tight little cunt I can feel Garett’s cock pumping out the remainder of his release. The feeling of both of them coming with me is almost too much. I shouldn’t be this fucking enraptured from the feeling of my best friend and the girl we’re out here to murder coming against my cock, but fuck if it isn’t one of the most wild experiences of my life.

He’s been stalking Celeste for weeks, trying to find a way into her life. Halloween provided him with the perfect opportunity toput the plan into motion. He plans to bring her out here and use her for his revenge. I’m just supposed to be here for support but he doesn’t know that I have plans of my own.

He might think we’re out here to kill her, but he’s got another thing coming. She’s not his to use—she’smine,and I have no intention of letting him destroy her for his fucked up revenge scheme. I’m obsessed and if she dies tonight, any hope I have at winning over my obsession goes out the window. He might need her for his revenge scheme, but I need her more. As is, this whole plan is fucked up. Who wins over the girl of their dreams by fucking another girl, murdering her, and then framing someone else for the murder? He’s my best friend and the closest thing I’ll ever have to a brother, but his obsession has clouded his judgment. It’s time I step in.

“Are you both even real or is this just some fucked up fantasy?” my girl whispers as she lays her blindfolded head against my chest and sighs. She’s so soft and sweet—my perfect good girl.

“Who says it can’t be both, Sweetness?” I whisper into her ear. “Let me be your dark fantasy. Say you’ll be mine, baby girl, and let me be your monster.”

I’m desperate for her to say yes, for her to give in andsubmitto me. I have plans and they all rely on her willingly being mine.

“That’s not what this fucking is, Luke, and you know it!” Garett roars from above us as he rises to stand.

I feel my girl tense in my arms as she senses the change in energy. Garett can be a scary motherfucker when he wants to be. He’s unpredictable, unhinged, and violent. But she has nothing to fear; we will all be walking out of here in one piece tonight.

With a rough grip around her arm, Garett pulls Celeste to her feet, ripping her from my protective embrace. I can’t stop the feral growl from leaving my chest as I rise to stand opposite them, pulling up my pants as I do.

“Come on, man,” I try to reason with him. “We can find adifferent way.”

“There’s no fucking going back now, Luke! You agreed to this! Go get the shit from the car and let’s end this!” he roars and I can see my sweet girl visibly flinch.I don’t like that.“You know what’s at stake!” Garett’s eyes are wild and full of violence. “Remember what they did to us?”

I don’t need him reminding me. Brody, Will, and their group tortured me and others for years. Their marks still scar my body and soul, wounds that will never fully heal. I want this revenge just as much as he does. They may not have been responsible for the death of my family member, or the assault of the woman I love, like they did to Garett, but I still carry the weight of their injuries. They deserve to die. They absolutely deserve to suffer. We will take everything from them. But unlike Garett, I’m not willing to sacrifice Celeste in order to get my revenge.

My girl rips the blindfold from her face and the scrap of fabric falls to the damp ground beneath us. Her pupils are blown, her lips puffy and red, tears and makeup streaks run down her cheeks. And yet, she’s still a fucking vision. My Angel of sin and seduction.

“I know you,” she says to Garett as she assesses us. I knew he’d been stalking her but I didn’t think he’d let her see his face. That’s definitely against the rules. I fucking hate it when he breaks the rules.

Garett motions with his head for me to head out and get what we need. I really don’t want to leave her alone with him, especially when he’s in this type of mood, however I don’t think I have a choice if this is going to work. I slink back into the shadows of the trees, letting him think I headed back to the car to get the things we need to make it look like a murder and body dump. There’s no fucking way I’m headed back to the car though. I’m not letting my girl out of my sight.

“Why? Why are you doing this?” she asks with a shake in hervoice. I can’t tell if she’s scared or sad. Probably both.

“Revenge.”

“What have I ever done to you?” Her voice shakes unsteadily again. I know she’s strong. She can handle this.

“It’s not what you’ve done, but who you are. I’m not a good man, Angel.” He leans down and strokes her cheek. “I’d do anything for my girl, and I mean anything. She’s everything to me. I have lied and cheated and even killed for her. But right now, someone’s keeping her from me. Someone who’s a very bad man; someone who’s hurt a lot of people. His fucking friends will get what’s coming to them but I have something special in mind for him. And you, my dear, are going to help me get my revenge and get my girl. So, as much fun as this has been, I need you out of the way. You’re here to be my sacrificial lamb.”

“I-I don’t understand. I thought I was your girl?” she chokes out and my chest flares with anger.

“I never pretended to care for you, Angel. I’m not a hero and you’re certainly not a perfect little princess. I’m a bad man and you’re a fucking dumb bitch who fell for a monster. I’m here for one thing and one thing only:destruction. Now run.”

She refuses to move. She stands on shaky legs like a lost little doe before a viscous predator.

“Let me make it exceptionally clear: you’re going to run and if I catch you, I will kill you.” He turns and walks toward a tree off to the side of the clearing, his back is to me and I start to move forward, preparing to grab my girl and run. “If Luke catches you, he will kill you.” From behind the tree he pulls something off the ground and into his hand.

Fuck.
