Nightshade

Eric rolled off the little girl and grinned at Candy. ‘That was good,’ he said. He wiped the sweat from his face with his hands. ‘That was really good.’

Bella curled up into a ball and cried softly. There was blood on the sheets. Not that it mattered, because they always destroyed the bed linen and towels after it was over.

Candy put her hand around his neck and kissed him hard on the lips. Her tongue probed between his teeth and she moaned with pleasure. She groped between his legs and her heart leapt when she discovered that he was growing hard again. He wanted her. He always did after he’d had sex with the girls. ‘Do you want me, Eric?’ she whispered.

‘You know I do,’ he said.

‘Do you love me?’

He reached for her and pulled off her shirt. He fumbled with her bra but he couldn’t unhook it so she did it for him and threw the bra on the floor as her breasts fell free. He kissed her again, harder this time. Candy rolled onto her back, lifted her hips and slipped off her underwear. She could feel how wet she was. Eric tried to get on top of her but she pushed him off and rolled him onto his back. He grinned up at her as she straddled him. She grabbed his chin with her right hand, her fingers digging into his flesh. It was the one time that she had power over him. The only time.

‘Say you love me,’ she said.

‘I love you.’

She lowered herself on to him, gasping as he entered her, then she began to ride him, faster and faster.

Candy stared down at the tearful little girl, her eyes burning with hatred. ‘Look at me, Bella. This is how a real woman f*cks a man.’

Bella put her hands over her face and continued to sob.

Candy pounded herself against Eric. ‘Come for me, baby,’ she shouted. ‘Come for me and then we’ll kill the little bitch.’
