I press my fingers to my temples and massage lightly. No, she can’t work her way inside me like she did to him, she truly is a witch and the spells she casts are the deadliest. She knows exactly what to do to bring a strong man to his knees and Raiden is now an example to us all. That’s what happens when a witch casts a spell with her pussy, its tendrils of desire work up through you until your heart is entirely encased in its grasp, and then it squeezes until there’s nothing left.

Raiden is nearly there, slowly dying from her grasp, and soon Deluge will need a new leader. The elders will give that position to me for being the most exceptional soldier, for infiltrating their ranks, and destroying them from the inside out.

I know what comes with this type of betrayal and I will try my best to save the other members, they were only following their leader after all. That’s what we’re all taught to do, the leader’s word is law, and to disobey is to be punished. But for Raiden, this will go beyond punishment, he will be forced to answer to the all powerful, and the only way to do that is to die. It won’t be an easy death and it won’t be a clean one. He will be tortured continuously for however long they can keep him alive, and then he will die in fire.

Everyone eventually goes into the fire to awaken on the other side, but most are already dead, and going into the fire alive means you will bring that torture into your next life. Raiden James will get the fire and I want to be the one to ignite it.

The girls begin whispering and I can hear a few things from my hiding spot. The larger one is giving Tempest props for joining the mile high club while Sky is berating her for her weakness, and Tempest herself is quiet. She looks ashamed in the satisfaction she feels and I like that look on her. Shame. I think it suits her features just fine and I want to be the one that puts it there next.

No!

She has this way of making me want her without even trying and I can’t seem to stop it. I must keep my guard up against her and still keep myself hidden. I won’t let her be the one to expose me and eventually she will join Raiden in the fire. All witches go into the fire alive. I will ignite that fire too because it will all come to fruition due to my diligence in bringing them all down.

“At least you got some,” Tiny moans. “It’s been forever since I’ve even laid eyes on a real cock.”

“Oh my god,” Sky drops her head.

“Seriously, silicone can only do so much and sure I date, but once guys find out I’m a stripper, they either want sex right away or try to pay me for it.”

Tempest remains quiet as the other two converse, her eyes staring out of the small window, and her hands clenched together in her lap. Yes, she’s feeling so much shame right now and I can literally see it coming off her in dense waves.

She just let herself drown in the man that tortured her and left her for dead.

Whore.

Chapter Ten

Tempest

I just let myself be played by the man that tortured me and left me for dead. I’m such a stupid bitch. Sky and Tiny continue to talk about the lack of sex in their lives and I wish I could just turn back time. I wish I could erase what happened in that washroom and carry on without ever feeling Raiden again. But I can’t and now I’m thrusted back to one year ago when one taste was never enough.

He’ll once again seep under my skin and I will crave him, I will beg for every fucked-up morsel he feeds me.

“Temp?” Sky’s hand lands on my arm and I flinch. “Are you okay? What did he do?”

“No.” I shake my head and whisper, “he has me trapped, again.”

“No.” Sky answers vehemently, “no Tempest, not this time. You own him now.”

I turn to look at her and the demanding gleam in her eye, “what?”

“He had you, he used your body, and then he did with it as he pleased.” Sky’s voice becomes laced in anger, “his biggest mistake was letting you live because now, you will do the same to him. Make him bleed, make him hurt, and then make him ache for you. Possess him, Tempest.”

“I can’t.” I whisper as I feel my eyes begin to burn, “I can’t do that. I will get lost in him and I’ll forget my purpose.”

“Your purpose?” Tiny cuts in,

“I’m going to kill him.” I whisper and they both grow quiet. “I am going to finally free myself from the hold he’s had on me for a year and I’ll watch as his blood coats my skin.”

I can feel the heat of his stare and I know I should be afraid that he might’ve heard my words but instead I begin to feel stronger again. I’m not the same girl he brought to an island getaway with the promises of wealth. I am no longer the girl that wanted him no matter how dark his insides were. Now that I’ve seen just how treacherous he can be, I just want to be rid of him.

“You can’t kill him!” Tiny whispers harshly, “you will go to jail!”

“I don’t care.” I murmur.

“Maybe it’s a blessing we’re going to Dominica,” Sky interjects, “they get rid of bodies there like regular trash.”

I have always wondered what they did to make them all disappear, how can they sacrifice people and not have bodies rotting all over the place? How many shallow graves can you dig on one property before it becomes suspicious? Maybe Sky is right, Dominica would be the best place to get rid of Raiden, and then I could come back home in peace.
