A Perfect Fit: Part Two

READ FIRST: https://horrorsleazetrash.com/2025/12/03/pieter-kohler-9/

Alaric’s girlfriend Lena worked at a clothing boutique, and when her hours and Master Kurt’s free time coincided, we went there. She was petite in stature, short blond hair, green eyes, slim and small breasted. She was dealing with a customer when we walked in, Kurt wearing army fatigues and t-shirt to reveal his muscularity. I wore a short skirt and tight blouse, following Master’s commands.  Kurt was only interested in Lena because she was Alaric’s girl. I occasionally saw her in the on campus chatting with Alaric who towered over her small frame. She could well be submissive to his will, perhaps a willing slave in training, I speculated, except I didn’t know to what degree my student dominated his girl or understood the liberating dynamics of BDSM. 

Ever since the incident at the pet store, Alaric took every chance he could get to stop by my office. He spread his legs on the chair opposite to me to talk about life and love and my soldier friend Kurt. I could see the outline of his hardening cock as he did so. Because I didn’t object, in fact I encouraged it, he became quite at ease, and said he had even talked to Kurt a few times over the phone and told him all about his girl and how she couldn’t get enough. Of course, Kurt told me all about Alaric’s excitement. And my fantasies included Alaric fucking me, which of course I revealed to Kurt, who found that amusing.

And I was intrigued by Kurt’s desire to seduce Lena, fresh prey, he called her, and I wanted to see if he had any chance in that direction. In the boutique, he told me to sit on the chair by a mirror and hold that larger butt plug securely in my ass, which he had inserted after a rough fuck that morning. Frankly, I wanted him to bone her good and hard because she was Alaric’s girl, and the boy was getting me hot and bothered in my office. He made innuendos about how far he wanted to go, how much he enjoyed putting the dog collar around my neck in the pet store, all nudges towards his own desire to fuck me, I think, with my master’ permission. Frankly, I wanted it. Students can be so irresistible, so horny and insatiable. 

Also, after the pet store incident, Alaric had come to the office and said he wanted to be excused from writing the compulsory term paper. He wore a t-shirt with the logo “I eat Sushi” written on it.

“Why should I agree to that? How could you pass the course if you don’t write it?”

“Well, because I’m telling you to,” and he stretched out his legs and crossed his ankles, clenching his hands behind his head. He wore thick-soled black shoes, Doc Martens probably. “And Kurt said you would because you’re obedient and you like me. And you’ll pass me anyway.”

“Kurt said that?”

“Is he wrong? Remember, I collared you in the pet store.” 

He laughed, leaning forward and crossing his arms on my desk, staring me hard and provocatively in the eyes. He obviously knew that he could get away with such boldness, for the barriers between us had crumbled. I stared at his biceps. He flexed them. You know you want to, Miranda.” His use of my first name sent a sweet and sharp pain through my cunt. Of course, I exempted him from writing the term paper and would grant him an A for the course. His cold blue eyes gave me a knowing look. He smiled, winked, and left after standing up first so I could see the bulge in his pants. 

“See you again, soon, pet.”

His use of the word pet brought back the incident at the pet store. I wanted to see Alaric there again. And I wanted to see Kurt mount Alaric’s girlfriend in his bed and fuck that petite bitch senseless with his big dick, holding her arms above her head and maybe even teasing her with Alaric’s name as he opened her up and made her writhe under his power. Even better if Alaric knew about it, or saw it, but I wasn’t going to say anything. This was Kurt’s game; she was Kurt’s prey. I was the obedient observer, even if I joined in the hunt. Just as I had become a kind of game or fresh prey for Alaric, although it didn’t know if he even fully understood how far they could go, aside from the opportunity of fucking his teaching. 

I clenched the butt plug, feeling sensations go up and down my spine. Needing to get fucked. Needing the sharp slap of Master’s hand on my ass. Kurt was physically training me, getting me used to gags and shackles, butt plugs and floggers, collars, hoods, bondage, even tit and clit torture. I was practicing deep throating on a ten-inch dildo, pliable and thick, sucking it in past the gag reflex every day. Keeping my body and spirit in shape for sweet degradation and ferocious fucking. 

An enslaved cunt, which Master sometimes called me, although he generally referred to me as “it.” 

It had ceased to be a professor when in the master’s presence, its other world, the world of obligations, friends, profession, family, etc., disappeared when it was with its Master, and it became just the Master’s possession, collared animal, or mere object, to do with as he pleased. And every day it lived in a kind of ecstasy of expectation. 

Kurt fingered some blouses on a rack and whispered to me. “She’s one little fuckable doll, I’ll give her that. Getting a boner just thinking about her lips on my dick. She’ll be tight at first, but a perfect fit in the end,” he chuckled. Looking up, Lena was startled to see a muscular soldier fondling silk blouses. She didn’t know Alaric’s teacher, at least she didn’t recognize me, as she wasn’t in my class nor did she ever come to my office with Alaric, so I simply remained quiet, watching Kurt flirt with her. 

He said he wanted to buy a blouse for his daughter and, as if it blurted out of her sweet little mouth unexpectedly, she said, “you have a daughter?” Admittedly, Kurt didn’t look like a fatherly type, but he was old enough to have a teen-aged daughter. Lena, Alaric had told me, had recently celebrated her 18th birthday, although she could pass for younger. Alaric was nineteen. I must say that I fancied swallowing his cum. Even daydreamed of two hunky students spit-roasting me in front of my master. Kurt bantered with Lena and asked why she was so surprised that he should have a daughter. How old did he look to her? Maybe he should have a paunch and skinny arms, he chuckled and stepped close to her as he fondled the blouses, almost touching her shoulder, close enough for her to smell his aftershave. She didn’t step back.

“Trouble is I don’t know her size. But I want to surprise her. She likes clothes a lot.” Then he said: “as a matter of fact she looks as if she’d be your size. Petite and trim, pretty like you, too.”

“Well, I take a small in these blouses.”

“You know, it would help if I could see you wearing one. Then I’d get a better sense of fit, you know what I mean. And color too. She sort of has your lovely complexion and her hair is shiny like yours too. What color goes best?”

Without hesitation and blushing with pleasure, she grabbed three blouses of different colors and went to the change room. Kurt playfully punched my shoulder.

“That little bitch will be sucking my dick within two weeks. I’ve got a fucking hard-on for her already. You think she noticed? I’m buying the blouse and will find out when she’s on duty again this week and I’ll come back for something else. First, I’ll chat her up, see if she has a coffee break soon. I can tell she likes me already, and she’s probably creaming her panties in the change room. My little fuck doll, my baby girl. I’ll give the little bitch to my friend Jamal, see how she likes a black buck. Stuff her fucking panties in your mouth; you’d like that, wouldn’t you, cunt? Soon, I’ll give Alaric permission to smack and fuck you, too. By the way, have you licked his boots yet, cunt? We’re going back to the pet store soon.”

The question struck me as rhetorical at the time. I didn’t know when such an event would ever happen or how, despite Alaric’s innuendos and pushing the envelope and my own fantasies. Kurt had not yet specifically commanded that it lick its student’s boots, although it had implicit permission to do so, and it wanted to, just to tell Master when it did. 

And so, he engaged Lena’s attention and got her to smile and giggle. Throughout the patter and flirtation scenario, it could see the fresh prey weakening and growing interested, and obviously flattered that a rugged muscular soldier had taken a shine to her. So much for love and loyalty to her boyfriend. Admittedly, it was somewhat annoyed being ignored while it sat on the chair, and also jealous. 

But it allowed itself to imagine Alaric unzipping in its office to reveal a demanding cock, and laughing. It allowed itself to imagine Alaric’s cock down its throat. Maybe he’d do that in the pet store on our next visit. As Master Kurt chatted with his prey, I clenched the perfectly fitting butt plug and soaked my panties. Pronoun correction: it clenched and soaked itself.

Jacob’s Drift

They go by travelers, traveler punks, traveling kids, hobos, hobo-punks, crusties, crust punks, anarcho-punks, transient punks, punk nomads, road kids, gutter pirates, street punks, dirty kids, train hoppers, rail riders, and many other names that they’ve been called.  Jacob preferred gutter punk. It suited him well, he would say. He would get up, eat cold beans, drink warm beer, and fly the sign, asking for spange.  Spange is short for spare change.  Jacob wasn’t a fan of stealing, but had in the past, when he was really hungry, or needed more beer.  The same couldn’t be said for the people he was with now.  They stole frequently, and as much as they could.  Dogface was a big, burly, son of a bitch, who basically was protection for the rest of them.  He was older, probably in his early thirties. Scumboy was the youngest. He ate and drank anything in front of his face, sometimes for survival, and other times just for attention. Then, there was Firefly.  She was a spitfire of a girl, hence the name. Jacob was infatuated with her to say the least.  Firefly was a petite, but stacked, little red head with dreads, and a shape that would bring most men to their knees.  They met outside of Asheville, North Carolina, while waiting for a train car.  Jacob thought that she didn’t stink like the rest.  They both talked of their travels, horrible upbringings, and painful memories.  It was the attention he needed at that time.

Jacob enjoyed the conversation with a girl, which he hadn’t had in quite some time.  He didn’t want the train to stop.  It did, and occasionally they would have to hide from the railroad police.  They were headed to New Orleans, just in time for Mardi Gras.  Some of Dogface’s friends were already down there as he knew from the ‘sign in’ outside of Asheville.  ‘Sign ins’ are tagging of certain walls as communication between travelers.  Jacob had never been to the Big Easy, as he was only a year into his travels.  The other three had made the rounds a few times in years past. 

“What’s New Orleans like?” asked Jacob.  Dogface almost leaped out of his skin to respond, “It’s fucking amazing.  There are so many of us there, especially this time of year. Beer runs like waterfalls, and leftovers for days, I tell you, days!”  Scumboy had to speak up, “He’s right. Cold beer too.”  Jacob longed to feel the sensation of a cold beer to his lips.  Firefly barked, “Tell him how we get most of the beer.  This waterfall of beer utopia, you speak of.”  Scumboy with no hesitation said, “She shows her tits, and we get beer!”  Jacob thought of this as a win-win.  Not only would he get free beer, but also get a look at Firefly’s beautiful, bulging bumps, which were currently covered by a stained, white wife beater.

It was daybreak when the train arrived outside of New Orleans.  There were no beans left, and all four shared the last beer.  This was Jacob’s first train ride, so Dogface played big daddy, “When it starts to slow down, get ready.  When we jump, you jump. Ok?  And roll like we do.”  Jacob thought, if Firefly was jumping, then he was jumping.  He would follow that girl to hell, and ask for seconds. 

The train slowed to a manageable speed and Dogface yelled, “JUMP!”  They all jumped and rolled onto the dusty gravel.  They made it unscathed for the most part.  A few cuts and scratches are nothing to a traveler. Brushing himself off, Jacob thought, let’s get that free beer.  They had a small walk to endure before the festivities would be enjoyed.  Plus, they had to locate Dogface’s friends.  They had been there for a few months to escape the brutal northern winters.  The best places for shelter and food were already pinpointed by them.  Firefly would provide the beer.

After a modest walk, they arrived at the French Quarter.  They strolled Royal, turned on St. Peter, and saw a fellow kid half way in a garbage can with his feet straight up in the air.  Dogface approached the can and asked about his friends through the opening at the top.  The kid quickly emerged from the bottom of the can, half eaten Po’Boy in hand, and said, “Look, It’s still warm.”  Dogface asked again, “Do you know where the Killhead Drunks are?”  Different sects of travelers took names to separate themselves from other ‘sign ins’.  The kid, with an almost reverent demeanor and tone said, “Oh yeah, I know where they hang. Follow me.” 

They followed, weaving through thugs, drunks, and whores.  Jacob, seeing all the glistening glasses of cold beer in the tourist’s hands, thought, Firefly needs to break those titties out.  They got stares and heard whispers as they passed.  Sometimes it wouldn’t be whispers. “Take a fucking bath!” an old, leather-skinned, drunk whore yelled.  Dogface marched forward through the mass of flesh, said over his shoulder, “Ignore them. Keep moving.”

The kid ducked off between two shotgun houses and they followed close behind.  He took a quick left and arrived at an abandoned house with boards on all of the windows and doors.  The kid knocked twice then ran off into the night to find another trashcan.  As they waited, Jacob gazed upon Firefly’s face in the streetlights and wanted nothing more than to taste those succulent lips.  The board blocking the doorway started to slide to the right.  “Dogface? Is that you motherfucker?”  Dogface smiled, “Yep, it’s me motherfucker.”  They embraced as if they were lovers.  Dogface introduced Jacob, as the others were already familiar with one another.  “Jacob, this is Bull.  He is my bro from way back.  We’ve been in the shit from Oregon to New York City.”  Jacob could feel the unspoken alliance between the two, and after seeing them greet one another, wondered if they had fucked in the past.

Bull was a big one too, about the same age as Dogface.  He had a shaved head, as Dogface’s was short, and unkempt.  “Get in here.  We have jambalaya, some bread, hell, even some fucking fried shrimp.”

“Any beer?” Jacob asked.  “Don’t fucking spit on his offerings!” Dogface said foaming.  Bull laughed, trying to reel in Dogface, said, “It’s cool man, it’s cool.  All out of beer at the moment.”  Scumboy with a mouth full of jambalaya, spat out half intelligible, “Let’s go get some fucking beer!”  Firefly knew she would have to take advantage of tourists by showing her tits.  It really wasn’t a big deal for her.  She thought that it was funny that men would turn into puppy dogs with cash when in front of big, fat, whale-shaped tits.  The tourist would try to give beads, but Firefly would insist on money or beer for her and the boys.  Beer and cash would soon follow after her pale mounds of flesh with dime-sized nipples were exposed.  Jacob, beer in hand, and tits in sight, thought about tasting more than her lips.

They all had their fill of beer and debauchery for the night and decided to pack it in.  On the walk back, Scumboy busted out a car window and took some visible change from the console.  When they reached the abandoned house that would be home for the time being, Dogface and Scumboy staggered inside.  Firefly asked Jacob, “Will you stay out here with me for a bit?” Without hesitation, Jacob responded, “Of course I will.” The two of them sat on a broken set of concrete steps.  “I hope you don’t look at me any different now,” said Firefly.  Jacob almost blushing said, “Well, yeah, I see you a little different, but in a good way for sure.”  Then Jacob moved a little closer, put his arm around her, and went in to kiss her. She quickly stood up, straight as a soldier, and walked over to a dilapidated wrought iron gate.  “I’m sorry.  It’s not that I don’t want to kiss you, but I’m fucked up Jacob.  I’m damaged goods.” Jacob, now with an arm around her once more, said, “You are beautiful.  We’ve all been through shit.  I don’t judge or blame.” Jacob knew it must have been horrific by her closed off body language, but didn’t want to exacerbate the situation.  He didn’t judge nor blame.

Firefly whispered, “I was raped.”  Jacob squeezed her tighter.  “By my uncles and stepfather years ago,” Jacob, unsure what to say, said, “I’m so sorry.  At least you are out of there now.  They can’t hurt you anymore.” Firefly turned, gave Jacob a small, quick kiss on his lips and said, “Come on, let’s get some sleep.”  The look on Firefly’s face told Jacob that there was more to this horror story, but he knew it wasn’t the time nor the place.  They moved the board back in front of the door, found a blanket, laid on the floor, and went to sleep in each other’s arms.

Jacob woke up numerous times throughout the night while the others slept soundly.  The yells, gunshots, sirens, and thoughts of Firefly getting raped plagued him repeatedly.  A few hours later, sunlight through small cracks in the wood woke him again. The rest were still asleep.  Jacob sat up, grabbed a white styrofoam container beside him, and scooped in some cold jambalaya with his fingers.  Everyone else eventually started to wake and move about.

It was a hot morning for early March as they headed out with cardboard in hand.  Dogface, Bull, and Scumboy took one corner, while Jacob and Firefly took another.  It was a rough life for sure, but sometimes freedom costs.  They have avoided the typical trappings of society.  No bills, no overbearing bosses or parents, and no social media.  However, also at times, there was no food, no drink, no warm beds or showers, and no love.  It was a sacrifice that many were willing to make, but Jacob, only a year in, battled with this dilemma constantly.  As they sat collecting a few coins here and there, Jacob reflected on the hardships of his travels, and wondered if this life was truly for him.  He turned, looked at Firefly, and thought that it was all worth it to have met this dirty angel.  She turned, gave him a smile and said, “My ass hurts. Can you look at it for me?  I’m sorry, but it hurts.”  Jacob without hesitation pointed to an alley and said, “Sure, no problem. Right over there.”

In the alley, Firefly pulled her dirty cargo pants down mid-thigh and exposed a supple, pale, very round ass to Jacob. He said, “Yep you have a big ol’ bump. I’m gonna get it.”  Jacob thought that this was the nicest ass he’d ever seen in spite of the huge, glowing red and yellow pustule.  He squeezed the oozing matter out until only blood and clear fluid could be seen, wiped it off with his shirt, and said, “There, all done.  Good as new.”  He gave a little smack to Firefly’s rear just before the cargo pants concealed it once again.  She gave him a light, but sensual kiss as a thank you.  They went back to the corner, but Firefly decided to stand for a while.

It was late evening now.  Bull, Dogface, and Scumboy met up with Jacob and Firefly to discuss and compare the day’s haul.  Of course, Firefly was responsible for their total being much higher.  They even had some one dollar bills, and a five spot swimming around in with the coins.  Tourists, local cons, and whores started to mill about in droves.  Scumboy said, “Get us some beer Firefly.”  Jacob interjected, “We have enough here for beer. Let’s just buy some.”  Firefly appreciated Jacob’s thoughtfulness, but said, “We can save that for food or something.  I don’t mind. Honestly.”  They headed for Bourbon Street, where beer would flow like Niagara.

Jacob stood on the corner drinking a beer and watching old drunks lust after Firefly as she continually exposed flesh.  This had been fine with him before, but now he had a sense of shame associated with the act.  One drunk got a little too close to Firefly and attempted to cop a feel.  He ran his hand up her stomach and grazed the bottom of her tit.  Before he could get a full squeeze in, Jacob was between them, and pushed the drunk back with fury.  “Get the fuck out of here!  Get on down the road, motherfucker,” Jacob said, with a hateful tone, through gritted teeth.  The drunk just smiled, took a few more steps back, and wandered down the street to possibly molest another.  Jacob spit at his departure in disgust.

It was now dark and the five returned to the uninhabited shack to rest.  Once again, everyone staggered in laughing and cursing except for Jacob and Firefly.  They took the same seat on the broken concrete steps and looked off into the night.  Firefly pulled out a joint given to her by a tourist and said, “This is just for us.”  She lit it and they smoked it down until it burned and stained their fingers.  Jacob, sobered a little, but stoned by the weed asked, “Do you ever want a change?”  Firefly took a long pause, breathed in the stale air with the stench of vomit, beer, and piss, and said, “This is pretty much all I know now, but sometimes I think change could be good.  What are you thinking?” Jacob hadn’t thought about it, he just knew that he was now in love, and wanted to spend every waking moment with this girl.  He wasn’t sure if he wanted to return to normal life, or continue on the drift. He did know, however, that whatever he did, he wanted Firefly beside him.  Jacob looked at Firefly and began to speak, “I’m not quite sure.”

Then, through the smoky haze of the night, a medium-sized dog appeared.  Its hair was matted and it was thin. Firefly called the dog over and began picking ticks from its skin. “He’s dirty like us,” said Firefly.  “He just needs a little love, too.”  Jacob went inside and retrieved some stale bread for the dog to eat. As the dog devoured the bread, Jacob looked at Firefly and said with a laugh, “Well, we ARE gutter punks.  We need a dog.  What should we call him?”  Firefly looked up into the sky, then down at the dog again, and said with clarity, “Drifter.”  Jacob loved the choice of name.  They both continued plucking ticks from Drifter’s scarred skin until no more could be found. 

The next morning, Bull, Dogface, and Scumboy woke to the sight of an empty floor where Jacob and Firefly had been sleeping the previous night.  “They’re gone. Where do you think they went?” Scumboy asked without true concern.  Bull kind of shrugged and said, “They may be out getting some food or something.”  A grin appeared on Dogface as he said, “Nope. They’re gone. Continuing their drift.”

As Jacob, Firefly, and Drifter sat in the back of a pick-up truck headed west, the two of them could only smile at one another. They weren’t sure what was ahead of them in this life, but one thing was for sure, they were together. The three of them found the love they had been desperately searching for this whole time. Firefly put a leg across Jacob’s lap, with wind blowing dust from her dreads, said, “Julie. My name is Julie.”

Serial Date

Consuela Reyes hoped she looked slutty enough. At least, for the purpose.

She’d picked the gentlemen’s club strategically. The killer had last struck at another strip joint in Valasia, which was just off the 415 Freeway South. Consuela figured he wouldn’t hit that neighborhood again for a while. If her calculations were correct, Big Joe’s was his next pick-up spot. So she was there too, shaking her ass, kill-bait with curves.

Ogling herself in the bathroom mirror three hours’ previously, Consuela felt certain she had the tawdry goods to snare a murderer of working girls. Pink vinyl boots with platform heels, a black microskirt that left nothing to the imagination, white lace stockings, a blue thong bikini, lacy white halter top. From what she’d grasped from the headlines, he liked them dark, a little primitive maybe. Well, that was her. Masses of dark, curly hair flowed down her back; her face was narrow, Indian, her eyes black as obsidian chips. Her makeup was subtle, accenting her natural colors, her leonine cheekbones. Except for the “Fuck Me Red” lipstick—she couldn’t resist.

She noted the twisted tube of toothpaste “for sensitive gums” on her sink next to her amber-handled hairbrush. That relationship had been brief. The man was vainer than any woman she knew. But not in a hot, self-assured way. Consuela gingerly removed the toothpaste and popped it in the trash. Then, with one final glance around her living room—piles of Anatomy and Physiology textbooks on the glass-topped coffee table, a well-thumbed paperback entitled Extreme Self-Defense—she shouldered her Joosy handbag. From the wall, Ramirez, Dahmer and Bundy—real guys—seemed to give her a collective wink.

Go to it, Sister. We can’t wait for your report.

Now, standing on the sidewalk just outside Big Joe’s parking lot, she wondered. Maybe he’d be able to sense it. Something not right about her, or too right. A set-up. An undercover cop.

WWTD…What would Ted do?

There had been rain, and the neon letters that sat atop the club’s awning smeared their reflection across pools in the asphalt. Consuela lit a cigarette, even though she didn’t smoke. She waited, watching the cars cruising down the boulevard, standing well back from the curb so she wouldn’t get splashed.

Nothing. She flicked the smoking butt onto the ground, where it expired with a hiss. She shivered, wished she’d worn something warmer. That she wasn’t subject to dangerous whims. In a way, she and the killer weren’t that different. Except for the killing part. So far.

Consuela’s hybrid was parked on the other side of the street, down the road a ways. She was just about to pack it in—terrible idea, she could actually be murdered—when a silver Corvette coupe slowed to a stop.

Casually, like she did this all the time, Consuela sauntered over to the car. It matched the description from the police reports and the flyers plastered all over the three-city area the killer was crawling. A zagged scratch extending over the right wheel well exposed the primer like a scar. The windows were smoked.

The driver’s side window rolled down. She leaned in. For a moment, she felt a surge of terror—

it was so dark inside the Corvette. Then a piece of the darkness lifted on a white, white face. He was wearing a hoody.

Her man. He even dressed the part, like one of those signs asking you to watch for suspicious characters.

“Looking for a date?” she asked, batting her eyes. Wasn’t that what pros said in movies and on TV?

The man nodded. “Get in,” he said in a voice surprisingly soft. Consuela slid into the car next to him.

The coupe’s interior smelled acrid, smoky. Adrenaline jazz. She smiled, licked her lips and crossed her legs. He was checking out the package.

They drove for a while in silence. He seemed moody, and she couldn’t get a fix on what he might be thinking. He flicked on the radio: “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC. The flicker of a grin teased his lips. He began to keep time on the steering wheel to the classic song.

“Now this is rock and roll,” he said.

“Right fucking on,” she responded. So far, so good.

“I’ve got a flask in the glove compartment, if you want a drink,” he said. She thought she’d seen this neighborhood before. But it was hard to tell. The same liquor marts, gas stations, bail bondsmen. Were they going around in circles? She flipped through the glove compartment, found the silver flask and took a pop. Cheap bourbon. Well, it hit the spot.

“You want to talk some business?” he asked.

“What kind of business?” Doing her best to sound hard. The alcohol was going straight to her brain. She wished she’d eaten something before, but she’d been so keyed up. “You’re not 5-0, are you?”

He frowned. Had she hit a sour note? At least she hadn’t said “po-po.”

“No, I’m not the police,” he said. “How much?”

What was the industry standard, and for what? “Two hundred,” she said, making her voice husky, blasé. “You can do anything you want, but no rough stuff. And no pee.”

Consuela had really impressed herself with that last note. She hoped he bought it. Two hundred bucks sounded like a reasonable fee for fucking her, or whatever. She was young and pretty, after all, not some gap-toothed slag. She imagined a drop-down menu of hardcore services provided, a naughty fridge magnet poem maker. “Rough teabagging.” “Light anal.” “Bondage shit.” The man grunted. “No worries. I’m not a weirdo like the President.”

Which left a lot of room for the bizarre.

The possibilities excited her. All the things she hadn’t tried. Multiple penetration—cocks fore and aft, wriggling inside her. Suspension. Toys. She was starting to get wet. She lifted the edge of her microskirt and slid a finger down her panties.

The man’s face went cold, rigid. His lips curled over his teeth as her scent filled the car. Chewing down the panic—she hadn’t meant to do that, she was probably pissing him the fuck off—she pushed things a step further. With her other hand she reached over and curled her fingers around his thigh. He was big, but soft, like some kind of Loofah. His eyes went dark. “Cut that out,” he said. His knuckles whitened as he gripped the steering wheel.

“Sorry,” she said, pulling away her hand. She was really, really turned on. The prospect of imminent death aroused her like a drug.

They’d left the city proper and were driving through an unincorporated industrial area. He indicated a field next to an abandoned factory. She shrugged. “Do you have a tarp or something? Looks a little muddy.”

He was silent.

“Well, they say the customer is always right.” She waited for him to get out and open her door. The sky was a profound gray and the rays of the dying sun streaked it like fragments of shattered, bloody glass. They stood at the base of a set of concrete stairs that ended on a ten foot square platform, part of some building project sacrificed to the economy. Weeds jutted through cracks in the platform like wire sculpture. About ten feet away to the left stood a corrugated aluminum shack, and behind a thicket of bushes, a hand-pump.

She timed it perfectly. Turning her back to him, she pretended to fish in her handbag for a pack of cigarettes. Consuela felt his hot breath on her neck, and her hands curled around the can of Mace. Suddenly she crouched, crippling his forward attack. Going to one knee, she kicked out sideways. He struck the platform hard, and the ball-peen hammer he was holding flew from his hand and landed harmlessly on the concrete.

The killer was out cold. While he was unconscious, she tugged off the hoody, pulled his jeans around his ankles, inched down his boxers and bound his wrists and ankles with zip-ties. When his eyes fluttered open, she gave him the spray full in the face. “You fucking cunt!” he shrieked.

“Wow,” she said. “That was so not cool. Apologize.”

His eyes streamed tears from the pepper spray.

“You like to kill prostitutes,” she said. A flat statement. He sputtered and swore at her. “Yes, I know,” she said, pretending this was a reasonable, ordinary conversation. “Mommy was a pro, she abused you, something something. You, sir, are a cliché.”

Consuela suppressed a peal of giggles. She hadn’t intended the last part. But her blood was on fire, the cold was tonic, the moon was out, and she was pretty sure she was going to do and say some other things that were just as much out of character, or flat-out weird coming from anybody.

“You can’t get it up, and when they see your little handicap, they laugh. Right? Not that it’s little…” She kneeled down and took his cock in her hand. At last she was at leisure to examine it, caress it. She kissed the tip. Still soft. “A shame, all that meat and no spine.”

She noted a small trickle of blood oozing from his scalp, like an ooze of black pudding. She swiped a finger across the head wound and brought it to her lips. “Mmm…that’s good. Maybe that’s why you’re so flaccid…your blood is flowing through the wrong head.”

“I’ll kill you, bitch!” he shrieked.

“Maybe,” said Consuela. She rolled off him and grabbed the ball peen hammer. Then she straddled his chest and turned the hammer over in her hands so it caught splinters of moonlight. “This the one you use on your victims?” She placed the haft of the hammer against his throat, and pressed experimentally. He gurgled. “I know you’re into overkill,” she said. “I prefer a more subtle approach.” She pressed harder.

His face grew red, and his eyes bulged. She caressed his neck with the hammer-head. “You like the way that feels against your skin, the cold steel?” He was struggling to speak, but no words came out. Bubbles of saliva burst from his lips.

Consuela slid down her body till she found his cock again. Now it was fuller. Not full enough, but on its way. She began to stroke the shaft with one hand, keeping the hammer pressed against his throat with the other. As her hand moved faster, he grew, filling her palm.

“Houston, we have hard-on!” she squealed. She rolled down her panties and squatted down on him, sighing with relief as his full erection filled her up.

“I seem to be a little dry,” she said.

Her hips grinding against him, up and down, up and down, she picked up the hammer again.

“Nonononononoyoucrazybitch…”

With precise, unerring strokes, she turned his skull to jelly. Riding the spasms as an electrical storm tore through his nervous system, she held on like an experienced jockey, daubing herself with the sweet, sticky blood that bubbled from the wreckage of his face.

She couldn’t wait to tell the boys the story, down to the last toothsome detail.
