Sweet Meat (Version 10)

Sienna looked down at the man below her. His brown hair matted with sweat, eyes dark and wide with shock, his mouth was slack but his breath came in strained gasps. Her hands tightened around the pulsing flesh and he let out a shuttering sigh, tensed then went limp. She sighed with him, felt the warm fluid cover her hands and licked her lips. She slid her hands off his flaccid muscle and climbed down from her perch. 1

“Mm, I told you once with me was killer honey,” She giggled and traced her bloody finger down his face. She crossed the room to the little sink near the shower and her breath caught a little when she saw her own disheveled reflection in the little mirror. Her amber skin glowed; her long black hair was pinned but tendrils had come loose. The light blue shirt clung tight and wet to her curves, leaving a small gap right above her black jeans that showed a golden swath of skin. Her lips were full and smiling. Honey colored eyes shone through dark lashes that fluttered around her face. 2

“Well this shirt is ruined,” she sighed, pulled it over her head and tossed it into a pile of stuff she planed to incinerate later. 3

The dark concrete walls were plastered with newspaper clippings, a score sheet and cheap photos. Several small rugs dotted the cement floor adding a bit of color to the dull dark room. In one corner a shower and sink; in another a seven foot long thick glass aquarium with a heating system, activated charcoal dust on the bottom and several thousand Hide Beetles and their larvae inside. They skittered and pulsed against the glass. A heavy metal door sat on the far side of the room; in the corner opposite the shower was a cage made of thick metal bars; and in the center of the room was a table with straps on all sides.4

She hummed in the shower, carefully washed every inch of her body. She stepped out and wrapped a large thick towel around her body. She combed her hair into an easy ponytail then stalked to the papers on the walls, removed a few, and pulled down a picture. With a cold smile, and a distant look in her eyes she slashed another mark onto the score sheet, then looked at the man lying limply on the table. His gaze fixed in her direction. 5

“Feeling a bit lazy today I think. I’ll clean the mess later.” She said.6

“WAIT! You can’t leave us with that.” A voice called out from the cage in the corner of the room. “He’ll start rotting soon.”7

“Oh honey, you never had a problem with rotting bodies before,” She smirked. Two men glared out at her but the third looked stricken, his eyes were glazed over, but not with horror. Those eyes were filled with lust, pure animal hunger. He be the last to die, because he fascinated her. The others just sickened her. She unlocked the door and pulled it open. She turned out the light, closed the door, then carefully locked it up. She climbed the carpeted stairs into the small kitchen of her house then she turned the key to lock the door at the top of the stairs and set the traps to trigger several explosives would decimate the small house killing and burying her captives instantly. 8

Sienna slipped into her room and changed into her comfy clothes for some serious TV time. While making her snack Sienna remembered how it had all started.9

It happened in the fall, when the leaves were golden and the air spelled crisp and spicy. Cherry just didn't come home one night and her fiancée called the police the next morning. They found her car empty in a parking lot. There had been a struggle and some blood spattered on the door. Cameras were checked, DNA was taken, fingerprints were found. They discovered her body the day before Halloween, raped, beaten and left for dead. The medical examiner said she had lived for a day after being dumped. There was dirt from the area in healing wounds and a blood trail where she had dragged herself toward a road. There was DNA evidence in Cherry, in the murderer’s car, in his home but his lawyer got it excluded. The evidence was circumstantial his lawyer said. The cameras never caught a good shot of his face and his fingerprints – he was just rummaging through an abandoned car for something to steal. He was innocent, his lawyer said, guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even though they could have asked for an extension to gather more evidence the D.A. pushed it through to trial and John Darren Richardson was found not guilty. 10

Soon after her mother slit her wrists in the bath tub and her father lost himself in a bottle. Sienna worked harder to get through the days knowing her sister’s killer was walking the streets. After college, she got a job as a file clerk in the office of the defense attorney that had represented John Richardson. She spent weeks studying him, she learned his habits, followed him to his favorite bar, learned where he shopped and what kind of food he liked. Arrogant bastard never noticed her following him. Her first instinct had been to shoot him or stab him but she knew she had to have a better plan or she would go to prison for killing the killer. She watched her father losing his life to alcohol and she planned. When her father died, she received an insurance payment and paid for the funeral. It was lovely everyone said so. She sold the house and anything she could not carry or didn’t have specific sentimental value to her. With the profits from the sale, she bought her own little two-bedroom home and remodeled the basement mostly by herself. 11

Her skin crawled when she first approached Richardson and flirted, asking him if he wanted to go home with her. She almost thought he had recognized her but after some thought he agreed. The drive had been frustrating. He kept trying to talk her into going to his place instead and touched her incessantly. She pulled into her garage and closed the garage door, then showed him into and across the kitchen, leading him to the stools that sat tucked under the breakfast bar. Sienna fixed him a drink laced with a sedative she had bought on the street. When he was unconscious, she dragged him to the basement room, undressed him and locked him in the cage. He had been enraged when he came awake. She had laughed at him as he threatened her. 12

Two days later, the police came to her door and asked if she had given him a ride home that night. She put on the performance of a lifetime. Her skin paled, her eyes teared up and she screamed, dropped to her knees covered her face and hyperventilating told them repeatedly that she had not recognized him and she could not believe she had driven the bastard home. Then she ran to the bathroom and vomited, convincing the detectives that she had honestly not known who or where he was. A few days later they had brought her in for questioning and she stuck to her story saying that she should have let the bastard drive drunk if he had died in a crash then at least he would have been off the street. They were still convinced that she knew nothing and after a couple weeks, they decided that he would turn up eventually and they would deal with it then. Sienna quit her job at the law office and looked for another job. 13

The entire time he stayed locked up in her basement eating whatever she tossed at him. He drank from a little faucet and used the steel toilet that was in the cell. 14

She drugged him again after a few days, when he woke he was strapped to the table in the middle of the basement and she informed him of the crime for which he was going to be punished. He laughed at first. When she pulled out her tools, he cried. John Richardson died a long drawn out death. He was beaten, raped, sliced open and the life was squeezed from his heart. His body was tossed into the glass case with the hide beetles and while they devoured him, Sienna sprayed the basement floor with hot water and bleach. She showered, cleaned her tools and put on some gloves to fish his bones out of the sea of beetles. Afterward she tossed them into the burn pile for her incinerator. That was nearly three years ago. She had gotten a job at the county courthouse as a clerk and it wasn’t too hard to gain access to the files which made hunting them all the easier.15

Once her favorite shows were over Sienna trekked down to the basement to take care of her newest mess. She turned the lights up just enough that it wouldn’t startle her guests but she could see what she was doing and uncovered the aquarium. Sienna un-strapped the arms, legs and neck of the man on her table then hoisted him into the long coffin like glass case. After she covered it up, Sienna turned back to the table with a sigh. 16

“Hey boss, how’s it going? Have fun?”17

She startled a bit at the unexpected voice. He always seemed to be waiting for her, watching for a chance to frighten her, a chance to feel dominant again. He chuckled like a lover who had found a new ticklish spot and planned to use it. There was no doubt that he was the most entrancing man she had ever met. He was so uniquely average you couldn’t pick him out of a crowd but once you heard his voice all uncertainty disappeared. His voice was deep and sultry it wrapped itself around you, rubbed you all over and melted you into a puddle of cow-eyed goo. 18

Jamison ‘JJ’ Jackson had a thing for prostitutes. He got off on mutilating them until they die. He also got off on a technicality. None of the witnesses could ID the plain looking man and he had always been careful about cleaning up after himself. It hadn’t been hard to get him to come with her. After the first time JJ saw her kill he began calling her boss. His looks of scorn were soon replaced with lust and something else she couldn’t place. 19

“Maybe you wouldn’t be so pissy if you got a good lay.”20

“I will not be telling you if and when I do get a ‘good lay’ it is none of your business,” she smirked at him.21

“I’ll give you that… and anything else you want.” His voice ran along her spine making her inhale sharply. He used a tone that had melted hundreds of women but she had learned how to throw him off. She laughed her own man melting bedroom laugh and turned back to cleaning the table. When she felt it was finished she put her supplies away, said good night to JJ, turned the light off and secured the basement for the night. She took a shower and slid into her bed falling asleep almost instantly.22

The next morning she awoke and dressed in cutoff shorts and a black tank top. She went downstairs to prepare breakfast, cereal and fruit for her and pancakes for the boys. Her long hair swished around her as she arranged the tray and carried it downstairs to the basement. After placing the tray on the table, she went over to check on the men.. Taylor Lee, was flat on his stomach on the hard cold floor, glaring out as Jamison sat on his back. The third man, Greg, was curled in the corner whimpering something about only wanting to go home. Sienna laughed and walked back to the table to toss them their breakfast as she ate her own. They wolfed the pancakes and she watched like a person at the zoo looking at these odd naked animals that seemed so similar to humans. 23

“Liking the view Boss?” Jamison smirked and rubbed himself. When she thought about it, Sienna realized that he was the only one who had interest in adult females. The other two were pedophiles, one who liked little boys and the other who had no preference. It hadn’t been hard to find some pictures of children she used often to lure pedophiles home, a whispered invitation and a warning to be quiet so they wouldn’t wake her “little niece and nephew”. They would accept their drink with anticipation and would be asleep in minutes. 24

Sienna knew that, in his own way, Jamison tortured them for what they were. He was disgusted with anyone who would hurt a child, and that was about the only good thing in his personality. She wondered what he did to them when she wasn’t around. If not for the extra difficulty Sienna would have put in a camera in the room but she didn’t want that kind of solid evidence. Film can survive so many things. Her life hinged on not being caught. In the three years that she had been at it she had only been questioned about two men. John Richardson and Paul Doughier and both times the police had not found any reason to focus on her. She had killed Paul after she was questioned about him because she had found out that he had written her name on a paper and slipped it in his car as he stopped to lock it before he went home with her. 25

“You watch yourself J.J. I’m in no mood this morning.” 26

“Yeah not getting any will do that to you Boss,” he laughed. Somehow, it seemed they had formed a unique friendship. Sienna looked forward to talking to him and joking with him. That was the reason she’d had him for nearly three months rather than killing him when she had planned. He hadn’t begged or called her names like the others. He just calmly waited for his death. 27

She had asked at one point why he was so placid. 28

“I figured I would get caught at some time. When they weren’t able to make it stick the first couple times I lost faith in people to do the right thing. My lawyer was a power hungry bastard who wanted to win at any cost. I am surprised that no one else tried to do what you did.” He had replied. 29

Greg started shrieking again, JJ kicked him. 30

‘The boy will have to go soon. I can’t have him flipping out and disturbing me. He has only been here for a week they usually don’t break this quickly.’ Sienna thought. 31

“Sorry Greg you’re being bumped up on the rotation.” She said solemnly. 32

“NO! Please! Just let me go home I won’t tell anyone. I promise. Please. Please.”33

“I have to Greg it’s not right to keep this up when you are this far gone.” Sienna couldn’t help being a little sorry for the boy. He was only twenty but he had been molesting children since he was twelve and had killed two of them. He deserved to die as much as the others and he would soon. She looked at her calendar and found that she had a holiday weekend coming up four days off. That would do. Unlike the others, she would allow him to write a letter of farewell for his family… or at least she would let him sign the typed and finished product just like the confessions that she sent out. 34

After breakfast, she used the sprayer in the shower to wash the floor and the men. Then she fired up the incinerator and while it warmed up she went to grab some paper towels for them to use to dry themselves. She pulled her gloves on up to her elbows, reached into the tank, pulled the bones out and shook them to drop any remaining bugs into the tank. She tossed the bones onto the burn pile. 35

As she ran hot water and bleach in the sink her mind wandered. She thought of the night she had abducted Jamison. It was a warm spring night and the scent of flowers wafted on the air. She was in a park that some prostitutes stayed near. That night Jamison Jackson had been spotted in the area. The police were hiding near the girls in hopes of catching him in the act of something but he had known that they were there somehow and he had gone around looking for any stragglers. He saw Sienna cursing a broken heel dressed in an obscenely tight skirt and a non-existent top. Their eyes met with the same predatory glare he thought hers was from finding a mark off the path but she knew his was the thrill of finding his next victim. After removing her shoes, she stalked over to him and traced a finger across his chest asking if he was up for one killer night. They both laughed for the same reason yet he still had no clue what was going on. After one shot of vodka in her car he started to feel groggy. Jamison reached over to her and ran his fingers into her hair then gripped it tightly. He pulled her in and kissed her with force. Sienna melted into the kiss. It seemed to burn in her mouth and down her body then he went limp against her as the sedative finally took effect. When she stripped him Sienna found two knives, four condoms and a letter from his mother’s lawyer informing him of her death two years previously.36

When he woke JJ glared coldly at her and told her he wasn’t into the ‘BDSM thing’. She laughed and said that he would have the rest of his life to get used to it. He took a good look around him. In the corner two men stared at him wide eyed and blood still dripped from the table in the center of the room. He then looked at his captor and saw the blood drops slide from her hands. His first thought was that this was some sick joke but some movement caught his eye. A woman’s face looking out of the aquarium. It’s blank gaze directed at something horrifying in the distance as beetles swarmed out of her mouth and he had to look away to keep from vomiting. His eyes found Sienna again she had removed her clothing and stepped into the shower. 37

She smiled at the memory. He had been so confused and angry. It was like a child that got smacked by mommy for saying a word he didn’t realize was bad. When she had turned around and seen the look on his face she laughed so hard she almost fell. She had laughed all through her shower and snickered while preparing dinner that night. 38

She finished washing the straps and hung them to dry. Greg was still begging and crying. Taylor was cursing her under his breath as he dabbed at his newly split lip with a damp paper towel. Sienna looked over to Jamison who was leaning against the bars with a small cut on his knuckles.. 39

“What happened JJ?”40

“There was a disagreement. He thought we should try to overpower you. I think we deserve what we get for being disgusting pricks.”41

“Aww, you know that won’t save you though right.”42

“Hell, Boss you know I wouldn’t do that.” He grinned.43

She couldn’t help but grin right back at him. Taylor was always working on a plan. If she didn’t kill him JJ would for being an uppity perv. She would have to kill him before going out for more because if the next one was stronger then she would have to worry about them getting to JJ before she did.44

“Crazy bitch! You’re worse than we are!” Taylor screamed through the bars.45

“Yeah way worse… I pick on you poor defenseless fully-grown people. You prey on toddlers, scourges of mankind that they are. I am sure they deserve everything you do to them.” Sienna sneered. 46

“I don’t have to justify what I did or did not do.”47

“No, you don’t. And now you will never get to do it again.”48

“I’ll get out and I’ll kill you! I will kill you, you sick bitch!”49

Sienna laughed holding her sides, eyes watering. She dropped to her knees and rolled onto her back gasping for breath. Jamison snorted laughter. Greg cried more. 50

“What? It’s not funny, I’m gonna kill you.” Taylor screamed. He was getting frantic. Knuckles white as he gripped the bars pressing his face between them. 51

A red light glowed in the corner of the room next to the door. JJ called out to Sienna that the light was on. She straightened and wiped her eyes. She chuckled as she left the room. The phone was ringing and she ran to answer it.52

“Hello there,” David said on the other end of the line.53

“Hi David. Did you sleep well?”54

“Well enough considering my condition.”55

She laughed. David had a reputation for being able to bed any woman he set his mind to. Unfortunately for him he had chosen the most difficult woman in the county courthouse. Ever since her sister died Sienna had abstained from sex. Her boyfriends had tried to get her to change her mind but she was not interested. She had something far more enjoyable to focus on now.56

“Sorry I’m just not that kind of girl.” She giggled.57

“Hmm I’ll have to do something about that.” He laughed.58

“You’ll try. What’s up Davey. I have work to do.”59

“Well I thought you might want to grab some lunch with me.”60

“Sorry I am too busy. If I take a break now I won’t get it all done today. How about tomorrow?” 61

“I guess I could make space on my calendar.”62

“You had better if you want to see me.”63

“Of course, I can move some things around. Anything to see your sweet face again.”64

“Well then I will see you tomorrow at the mall. We can drive to the restaurant from there.”65

“Why don’t I pick you up at your house?”66

“No, I have errands tomorrow and you will meet me at the mall or I will see you at work on Monday.”67

“Okay, I love demanding women.”68

“So I’ve heard.” She laughed and said good-bye. 69

Sienna replaced the receiver and went to the laundry room to start a load of whites. She cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen and made sandwiches for herself and the boys. She carried the sandwiches and some sliced fruit down to the basement. As she opened the bottom door, she heard panicked pained screams and sobbing. She placed the tray on the table and closed the door before looking over at the cage. Then she sighed because the floor and bars were bloody again. Taylor was on the floor with a puddle of blood all around him. He was lying on his back and she could see the damage that had been dealt. Greg was sobbing in the corner, still. JJ had blood on him dripping down his bare chest; drops dangled on his swollen penis and fell to the floor to rejoin the puddle on the floor. Sienna licked her lips and moved toward them. Taylor’s mouth was still bleeding and his groin was black and purple. 70

“So do you want to clean up before lunch then?”71

“Yeah Boss that would be nice.” Jamison smiled.72

Sienna went over to the shower chuckling. She turned on the warm water and sprayed them and the floor down. Once all the blood was washed away, she ran back upstairs and grabbed more paper towels for them to dry off. Taylor was still unconscious when she started serving the sandwiches and fruit. When everyone was settled, she asked what had happened.73

“Well he got lippy and said some shit that pissed me off. I told him he better stop being a dick, he didn’t, so I took it into my own hands.” Jamison snickered.74

Sienna laughed and ate her sandwich. After lunch she tranqed Taylor so he wouldn’t wake up and finished cleaning then she went upstairs to finish her house and yard work. At dinnertime, she made little rolls with meat and veggies in them and took them down to the guys. Once they were asleep, she tended to Taylor and then went to bed. 75

The next morning she tossed breakfast down to the guys and left to run her errands. At noon, she met David at the mall and they drove to a little mom and pop restaurant at Sienna’s request. After their food was ordered, they talked about their interests and mutual friends. David made a few more advances and was turned down over and over. He kissed her good bye and made sure she knew that if she ever changed her mind he was always available. 76

After a day of shopping and running around Sienna returned home to feed the men and went upstairs to dress. She pulled out the little grey skirt and tight white top. Her thigh high stockings brushed the bottom of the skirt offering a glimpse of her golden skin. Stepping into her high heels Sienna went to the mirror to check herself. Black hair cascaded down her back and over her shoulders. Expertly made up her lips shone like rubies in the sand, the top so tight a person could tell what kind of bra she was wearing. There was a knock at the door. 77

Marilys stood on the porch her hair dyed purple this time. She was wearing a super short pleated black skirt and a silver top that just covered her breast. Marilys was forever changing her hair color, last time Sienna saw her it was magenta. 78

“Hey there sexy girl!” She called out. Then Deanna joined her on the porch and they pushed their way into the house. They had been friends for a couple of years they all worked at the courthouse, were single and partied on the weekends. Dee was wearing a gold handkerchief top and a gold thigh length flared skirt. Flecks of gold glitter surrounded her eyes and glowed against the darkness of her skin. Mari was the opposite she looked as though night was the only time she did get out. Her skin was translucent and her eyes were big sapphires in the middle of all that white skin. 79

“Come on let’s go party! I am so bored!” Mari whined.80

“Whoo yeah let’s do it!” Sienna shouted.81

The Wire was the hottest club in town. Lights flashed and lines went for miles. They could always count on Mari to have slept with a bouncer, owner or manager at one of these clubs so they could always get in ahead of the lines. She winked at the bouncers as they walked past and both men blushed making the girls laugh. Another flirt and wink got them into the V.I.P. area and a round of drinks free. 82

“Oh my god Mari, You are such a slut!” Dee nudged her.83

“You know it baby!” Mari whooped.84

Heat, sweat, bodies rubbing and pounding music painted their night. Drinks were downed and filthy jokes slurred into each others’ ears and laugher rang out after many drunken phone calls. Finally, a cab was called. They stumbled up the steps to Sienna’s porch. She invited them to crash on the pull out couch that night. They drank a few more shots and piled on the couch and passed out in a cascade of giggles. 85

The next morning Sienna crawled from the couch to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face and took some aspirin. Then she cooked some bacon, eggs and toast and laughed as her friends ran to the bathroom. After a few minutes, they dragged themselves into the kitchen and sipped their juice as they watched Sienna cook. 86

“You are the best cook in the world.” Mari whispered.87

“Nah I just always make sure to cook when y’all are hung-over so you can’t tell the difference.” Their laughter rang through out the house and they gripped their heads in unison at the sound.88

“We had better get home so we have time to change for work.” Dee commented. They finished their breakfast and bade each other a clingy farewell. Sienna leaned against the door breathing a sigh of relief then she returned to the kitchen and cooked some French toast to take down to the men. 89

After setting the tray on the table Sienna turned around to see glassy eyes staring back at her and she winced at the sight of Greg’s sightless eyes. In the corner, Taylor was sitting on JJ’s chest with his hands around JJ’s throat strangling him. 90

“GET OFF!” She yelled. Taylor didn’t budge and she could see JJ’s body starting to go limp. Sienna ran to a locked cupboard and pulled out a gun with a tranquilizer dart loaded, aimed and shot. Then she ran over and kicked at him through the bars to get him off. When he was on the floor sedated next to JJ she dropped to her knees and felt his throat through the bars checking how bad the injury was. Suddenly he grabbed out at her and held her tight against the bars. 91

He repositioned himself so he was kneeling in the same way she was with his arms holding hers down to the side and her face at the nape of his neck. Her breath came in harsh pants as the bars and Jamison’s arms squeezed her ribs tight. 92

“Boss you smell good,” he whispered into her ear sending shivers down her spine. She was unable to breathe much more than to squeak helplessly. He lowered his head to hers and inhaled through his nose ending in a heaving sigh. Holding her tight with one arm, he ran his other hand through her hair and wound it around his arm clutching it at the base of her skull and moving her head so her ear was near his mouth. 93

“Mm Boss I’ve dreamed of the day I would have you in this position. You go out last night? I can smell the booze on you. Get you some Boss? I can smell skin and sweat on you. Went out whorin’ did ya? See you got your skank clothes on. How many did you bag last night, huh? Answer me now don’t be shy.” His grip loosened enough for a breath so she could beg and cry like all the rest had before her.94

“I… am… not…” Sienna gasped catching her breath and cooling her burning lungs. “I am not that kind of girl Jamison. I don’t do that. You go ahead and kill me because my last thoughts will be of how you will die of starvation long before anyone comes down here.” She said breathlessly. 95

“I am not one of your whores.” She laughed, “You may kill me but I will have the last laugh because I expected to go out like this but you never planned on the painful, slow death you will have.”96

He didn’t move. Sienna’s eyes bored into his challenging him to disbelieve her. The scent of coffee and peppermint wafted between them filling the small space with a warm hominess that was decidedly out of place in this chamber of death. Jamison let out a sharp barking laugh that reverberated off the cold stone walls and would have split Sienna’s head if not for the adrenaline pushing the hangover way off to the back. 97

His hand released her hair and slid down her back to the bottom of the short skirt. He ran his hand over the edge of her lacy panties caressing the silky skin of her bottom. Her body tightened and real fear coursed through her. She had expected to be killed but not raped… but then was it possible to rape the willing? Ever since that first night, she had felt an attraction to him. 98

JJ felt her tense as his hand slipped beneath the cloth and into her. A tear formed in the corner of her eye and she cringed. He squeezed her tighter against the bars exploring her further with his fingers. A moan escaped her lips startling him and made him look really hard at her. Never had he seen a woman who looked as surprised as Sienna did at the sound she had made. She began to cry. JJ looked at her with wide eyes and remembered another girl had cried like that. She had been brutally raped by a boyfriend. That man had been his only male kill.99

“Sorry Boss I didn’t know.” He choked.100

“Jamison, why did you let me go? You could have killed me.”101

“I’d rather not eat rotting human remains when I can have your good cookin’ Boss. I’m gonna die anyway, rather quick by you than slowly in a stinkin’ basement. ” He grinned. Sienna laughed and shook her head. She got to her feet, wiped her eyes and brought the breakfast tray to him letting him eat all the food. Then she went back upstairs and called in sick to work. 102

After taking a shower, she stood nude in her bedroom trying to decide what to wear. Jeans or cutoffs, tee shirt or tank top? She looked at herself in her full-length mirror and wondered if he would make her feel the things that Mari told her about. Sienna sat on the chest at the end of her bed and closed her eyes. She could still feel him in her and holding her tight. It had been years since she had been attracted to a man. Why this one? Why now?103

Finally, Sienna decided on a tank top and regular jeans then she headed back down to the basement. She wasn’t surprised to find that Jamison had killed Taylor while she was away. Smiling warmly she cleaned up the tray and sat in the seat across from the cage and stared at him. 104

“Had to do it Boss. Didn’t want him to try again next time I might not be so lucky.”105

“If I opened the door would you attack me or let me go about my business?” she asked.106

He grinned at her. 107

“Well Boss, just because I didn’t kill you last time doesn’t mean I won’t do it this time. I wouldn’t trust me if I was you Boss.”108

“Yes that is what I thought. Oh, well.” She reached behind the table and pulled out the gun from where she had put it after he had released her and shot him with a tranquilizer.109

When he was definitely out she opened the cage and removed the bodies then she went to check on Jamison’s neck wounds. He had some bruising but it didn’t appear serious. Her hands trailed down his body running her fingers though his chest hair and down lower. Just to make sure she wasn’t missing anything she told herself. His skin was warm and soft beneath her hands and she couldn’t help but kiss him lightly. His lips were slack with sleep and she had to laugh at herself. Sienna left the cage and locked it. She would have to figure out what to do with the bodies. She couldn’t feed them to the beetles not both of them… a toss of a coin decided that Greg would go in first and she moved Taylor to the table in the middle of the room and waited until dark to move him to the beetle case in the second bedroom. 110

Later that day Jamison woke to a clean room and a warm meal sitting by him. Sienna came into the room as he finished his dinner and updated him on his ex-roommates. 111

Sienna didn’t go downstairs while he was awake if she could avoid it. She couldn’t think of anything but his arms wrapped around her. Her relationship with David continued but it was half hearted and she broke it off after two weeks of fending off his advances. His touch disgusted her and she was constantly comparing it to JJ’s. 112

“Jamison?” She whispered from the doorway late one night.113

“Yeah I’m here.” He responded. “Nowhere else to go really Boss.”114

“I understand.” She chuckled lightly and walked into the room. 115

“Where you been Boss?”116

“I had other things I needed to take care of Jamison. You are not the only thing in my life you know.”117

“Sorry if it seemed like I was intruding Boss I was just curious.” He seemed meek and if made her sad to see him soft spoken. Even though she didn’t want to kill him, she couldn’t work with him in the cage. She couldn’t spend hours trying to find something to wear for torture just in hopes of him giving her that lustful look again. He hadn’t looked at her like that since the day he had killed Taylor. Sienna cried in the night. She missed his looks and comments. Most of all she missed killing; the feel of blood and terrified looks made her feel whole. She was nothing without her constant companion. Could she trade Jamison for Death? Would he make her feel as good? She wondered.118

Sienna loaded the gun with a light dose of sedative and took aim. The shot hit it’s mark and Jamison’s vision went black. She put the gun away in the cabinet and locked it; then pulled him out to the main room and spread a mat on the floor of the cage. Under each of the corners, she put a knife. She dragged Jamison back into the cage and locked it putting the key behind a stone she had loosened just outside the cage. Now locked in the cage with him and she began to strip her clothing off and tossed them outside the bars. 119

Jamison awoke to see her straddling him completely nude. He gazed up at her. Soft curves of golden skin swelled above him. She ran a hand from her neck down her body between her legs and onto his bare skin and squeezed him in her hand. Her body aligned parallel to his and the rose tips of her breasts tickled down his chest to his stomach and down his thighs as she licked a line from his neck to his groin. Hot and soft, her tongue caressed his head and slid around his shaft stroking it as he watched her little behind wiggle in the air like she was licking her favorite popsicle and thoroughly enjoying it. He writhed under her and gripped at the mat below him. 120

“Please,” He whispered gruffly. 121

“Mm” Sienna hummed against him making him inhale sharply. She slid back up to his waist and bent down to kiss along his neck. His hands found her and he slid a finger into her making her moan against him. It hadn’t been like this before. Clumsy fumbling and pain was what she remembered, this was smooth and expert. He ran his other hand up her leg to her breast and gently ran his fingers over the tip. She squealed at the sensation urging him on with her body. 122

Jamison slid his hand to her back and without a missed beat he rolled her to her back. He lowered his face to hers and kissed her long and hard then kissed down her neck to her breasts. His tongue danced around her nipple making her arch against him. JJ chuckled. Blowing softly on her hard little tip, slowly sucked it into his hot mouth, and rolled it around between his teeth and tongue forcing small yips from her. His finger ran over and over her spot while his tongue teased at her nipples. Slowly he nibbled down her stomach until his mouth met his hand. Sienna grabbed the bars and screamed as he licked and sucked at her making her orgasm over and over. He slid his finger out slowly and licked it then moved back up and kissed her deeply. She wrapped her arms around him, pressed her mouth tighter to his and raised her body to his. 123

Jamison moaned and pushed gently into her. Sienna cried out again, he was so large and hard with desire. His arms slid around her and he pulled her into a sitting position. She rode him carefully at first and then with more enthusiasm as she felt the heat course through her body. He pulled her legs around his waist and hauled himself up with the bars. The piercing cold on her back caused Sienna to yelp and cling tighter to him. 124

Pumping hard into her sweet body Jamison felt himself near his limit. He buried his face in her neck, tried to control himself and when he attempted to pull out of her, she threw her weight at him and knocked him onto his back. She pinned his arms down and rode him while staring into his eyes. Her muscles tightened and she cried out her pleasure as he came into her bucking and screaming. Sienna fell limply onto him, her head on his chest and she listened to his heartbeat race then taper off to its normal pace. 125

“What the hell was that?” Jamison asked breathlessly.126

“Mm fantastic is what that was.” Sienna chuckled.127

He laughed and wrapped himself around her. A new light was in his eyes. Did he see her as a potential victim now? Was it something else? She really didn’t want to think about it so she just snuggled in his arms. 128

Do Serial Killers snuggle? She giggled.129

“What’s got you giggling boss?”130

“Just a silly thought. Nothing important.”131

“Mm, ok boss that works for me right now.” He whispered and started to drift. 132

Once he was asleep, Sienna wiggled out of his grip and retrieved her key letting herself out of the cage after the knives were removed from under the mat and then relocked the door. She went back upstairs and put her clothes in the laundry room before going to her bedroom and slipped between the sheets. 133

The next morning she showered and made a big breakfast then she carried it down to Jamison. He was sitting in the corner of the cage watching the door. She set the tray down next to the cage carefully and backed away. 134

“Boss where’d you go? I’ve been up for hours and you were gone.” He asked in a falsely unconcerned voice. She could hear the worry in his voice.135

“Not like you to be uncertain like this JJ.” She said in a half laughing voice.136

“I was just curious if you were going to ignore me again.”137

“I couldn’t ignore you now hon.”138

“You better not be laughing at me. Or, so help me Boss, I will kill you next time.”139

“Why would you think I am laughing at you Jamison?”140

He wouldn't tell her but his eyes glistened with tears. Sienna felt her heart tug for him and she knew it was his time, she had become far too attached. 141

“Boss when I realized you were different, that you weren’t one of them, I pushed you away. You know what I am… for the last three and a half months and you never once screamed or ran. I don’t understand, why.”142

“Jamison, there is nothing wrong with you. I had sex with you because I wanted to. I have more work to do. See ya.”143

Sienna shook her head and went back upstairs. She looked around her small white kitchen and felt empty. She sighed and briefly mourned the loss of the old Jamison… she would not be mourning the loss of the new one. 144

The next night she drugged his food and when he was out she dragged him to the table. Instead of the harsh overhead light Sienna lit candles around the room. If Jamison was going to die tonight then she was going to have some fun with him. Sienna slipped into a black silky panty set with a garter belt, silk thigh-high stockings and a pair of black high-heel sandals. Her black hair tangled around her, she had decided that she would leave it down this time. She pulled her tools out and began sharpening them. A glance up at the mirror showed her an amusing sight. She laughed ‘I look like Death’s centerfold!’ 145

Jamison woke slowly and startled when he realized that he was strapped to the table. Briefly, he thought of begging but he knew it wouldn’t work. The dark look came into his eyes and his deadly demeanor returned. He laughed and it startled her. Sienna smiled and held the newly sharpened blade against her breasts.146

“What do you think darling? Does this knife make me look fat?” She laughed.147

“Boss you look great. Can’t you tell?”148

“Yeah you do seem to be enjoying the outfit. Or is it the blade that is turning you on?” She chuckled and climbed up onto him. His hardness rubbed against front of the slippery material. Her hips ground into him rubbing that spot just beneath the cloth making her feel a growing warmth spreading through her body. She looked into his eyes and slid her hand around him gripped firmly and slid up and down his shaft. His breath came in short groaning pants. JJ noticed that his neck wasn’t strapped down… she meant for him to be able to watch their joining and his own death if he wanted. Sienna’s soft warm hands guided him around the edge of the tiny panties and into her. He cried out feeling her tightness surround him. Jamison watched as she rode him slowly still holding the knife in one hand and the other hand on his stomach to brace herself. Her body quivered and she strained to retain control. She watched him watch her and felt him grow larger inside her. Suddenly her pleasure overwhelmed her and she cried out squeezing down on him causing him to cry out and buck under her. 149

The knife gleamed in the light as she brought it down on his abdomen. Blood sprayed across her hot and wet. It ran down her body like liquid rubies clinging to her golden skin. Jamison screamed again. Her hands delved inside him, as her body still rode his, slipping around the warm pulsing flesh they ripped through his diaphragm and slid up into his chest, until she found the muscle she was looking for and began to slowly crush it. 150

“Sienna, I love you.” Jamison whispered in a strained voice. His eyes dimmed.151

“I love you too JJ.” She smiled sliding off him and heading to the shower.152

Three months later…153

Sienna scrubbed the blood from her table and nodded at her men. She had begun to hunt only two at a time and soon would cut down to one. Chris screamed at her that she was insane and she laughed at him as usual making him scream more. She then locked up and went up the stairs. A buyer was coming today for her beetles. She changed into a blue sundress that was just perfect for the hot summer months. 154

The doorbell rang and she went to answer. On the stoop was a large man she knew well. He owned a taxidermy shop and was interested in the beetles for skull cleaning and selling.155

“John, so nice to see you again! How is your wife dear?”156

“Oh she is doing well as she can you know summer is the worst time to be having her last three months.” He grinned.157

“This is your second right? You must be excited did you find out the sex of the baby yet?”158

“Yepper, it’s a boy. My first son!” The pride glowed from his face.159

“Mm I am so happy for you. The baby shower is in a week right?” 160

“Yes ma’am and we expect you to be there.”161

“Of course I will be.”162

“Are you sure you want to get rid of all your beetles? I don’t feel right buying them for such a low price.” 163

“I need to use the second room, plus anything that helps my friends makes me happy.”164

“You getting a roommate?”165

“Kinda.” She smiled down at her feet.166

“You’re gonna have a baby! This is great, who’s the proud daddy?”167

“He is out of my life. We just couldn’t manage to work out a future with each other.”168

“Oh is he paying child support?”169

“Nah he doesn’t know that I am pregnant. It’s ok though I'm happy.” She guided him up to the second room and showed him her set up, which she was including in the beetle price.170

“I’m glad you didn’t decide to abort the baby lots of women do that if the daddy isn’t in the picture.”171

“Oh no I would never do that John! Abortion is murder.” 172

After she helped him load the items into his truck, she waved goodbye and turned back to the house to make dinner for the boys.
