CHAPTER EIGHT
The place was not a basement at all. The house had been built atop a large cavern along the shore. To the left, through an exit about the size of a garage door, I could see the pouring rain, lightning, and storm clouds. The wind from outside made its way through the opening, cooling the room and the naked bodies slithering around the floor.
At the far end of the room, Veronica stood on a stage alone. She wore a purple see-through robe, her large breasts visible, her crotch covered by panties. She was gorgeous, and there was no other way to say it other than I wanted to fuck her right in the middle of all those people.
“We can distract her,” Stephanie said. “When we do, leave through there.” She pointed at the exit leading to the water.
“I’m not going anywhere. I told you, I want to know what the fuck is going on.” I watched the bodies closest to us. Men and women were locked in sexual positions that none could leave. Bodies were crammed so close to each other that I couldn’t see the floor.
Chrissy began removing her dress, and once naked, she moved to her knees and forced her way between bodies. I watched as she was quickly engulfed in the mass of lecherousness.
I looked back to Veronica, who kept her eyes trained on Stephanie and me.
“You going to do that?”
Stephanie nodded. “We have to. And the only way to get to Veronica is by crawling over these people.”
“What do you know about her, Stephanie? Why do these people do this for her?”
“She’s rich and powerful, Deacon. She has the money to make people do whatever she wants them to do. She will kill both Chrissy and me because we went against orders in the car.”
I chuckled and shook my head. “She has that kind of control over you?”
Stephanie looked away. “You don’t understand. Veronica is a drug none of us can kick. Everyone in this room has been with her one way or another. She’s not what she appears to be, Deacon.”
“You keep saying that, but don’t explain yourself. I’ve dealt with worse than her in the courtroom. I can handle her.”
“But you can’t, and this is not the courtroom.”
Something hard poked me in the back, and I wasn’t surprised to hear the deep voice of another guard. “You two assholes need to strip and join the fun.”
“We are.” Stephanie glared at the man and began removing her dress. He walked away and closed the door. “Stay with me, Deacon. Once you’re in the entangled bodies, it will be hard to keep moving.” She nodded toward the large hole leading to the water. “Make your way there and leave.”
“What about you and Chrissy?”
“We’re done, Deacon.”
Stephanie, naked, stepped down into the mass of naked bodies. Using her foot, she moved apart a man and woman and then offered her hand. I stepped down and almost busted my ass.
“What the fuck is on the floor?”
“Baby oil.”
“Get moving.”
I looked up at the guard. “I’ll be back for you.”
“I’m counting on it.”
I looked across the mass of bodies that reached almost thirty feet to Veronica. Every conceivable degenerate position between two people was on display, most of the positions involving three or more people.
“When we lay down, you’ll be consumed by what you see. If you fight it, the guards will shoot you. They’ve done it before.” Stephanie dropped to her knees, and instantly hands were on her body, pulling her down into the fray. I watched a woman move behind her, reaching around and spreading her legs for the man in front. With a frenzied fervor, the man buried his mouth and nose between Stephanie's legs, sucking and licking her pussy as if they’d been lifelong friends. Another man slid down and then placed his cock in Stephanie’s mouth. I watched in shock as she sucked him, gasping every time he left her mouth. The man came, and Stephanie greedily licked him clean. She looked up at me, sorrow in her eyes. “Be with me.”
The guard still watched me, and I had no other choice but to follow the rules, as abhorrent as they were.
I squeezed between Stephanie and the woman behind her, my presence causing everyone on the floor to shift and moan. The fire department would say we were over maximum capacity.
I slipped and slid against Stephanie and the other woman, Stephanie turning toward me, the man who had been eating her moving on to another meal, taking a man’s cock into his mouth. I winced, and Stephanie placed her mouth over mine.
