  MANDY

  Friday Night

  “Faster, harder, that’s it.” I held my legs open wide as they flopped around in the air. We’d been at it for hours now, when usually, I only tolerate him to get what I want out of him.

  But knowing that things are about to change for me has made me so hot I might have to call up another one of my lovers when this one is done.

  I had a mediocre orgasm that time and figured he had run his course, still, two out of three ain’t bad.

  “You may go now, you’d better leave out the back entrance, I don’t think now’s the time for anyone to learn of our little friendship now do you?”

  He gave me that sad puppy dog look that I knew so well by now. He’s such a waste. His family has good money, but his whining and low self-esteem was not at all attractive; my acting skills only go so far.

  When he was finally gone, after I allowed him to slobber all over my tit, I took a nice long bath and got dressed and ready for my next stellar performance.

  ***

  I wasn’t too surprised when Jace turned down my offer for help; maybe it was too soon after all. I’ll give him another week at least to come back to his senses.

  With that twit out of the way, there was no one to upset my little apple cart until I was ready.

  If all goes as planned, I will be set for the foreseeable future, or until I got my hands on the Saunders wealth, which I had no doubt was still in my grasp.

  Howard had always talked about me going to his alma mater, but I had no real interest in spending another four or five years wasting my life in an old dreary building doing things that weren’t going to benefit me anyway.

  No, I had bigger and better plans for myself. Everyone was always surprised when I showed no interest in acting.

  It’s weird, but as much as I love attention, I’ve never been interested in getting in front of the camera.

  That could be due to the fact that once, long ago, Howard had taken me to the set of one of his studio’s movies and I had seen first hand what hard work went into the craft.

  If I could lounge around scantily clad and have a camera just clicking away, well fine. But all the hot lights, and the director barking instructions, the long hours, having to be up before the dawn?

  No, none of that was for me. As time went on I learned that as a woman, it was best to marry wealth and power, unless of course you were born with it.

  Any other course will be too much work. I’d actually have to make my own way, which would take up way too much of my time.

  My little nest egg was just the beginning. Though it would be able to afford me a decent life, I didn’t want decent. I want spectacular and I had decided long ago that Jace Saunders was my ticket.

  It’s not my fault that the stupid girl had got in my way. Had she been from around here, had she been one of us, she would’ve known better.

  After Jace’s rebuff, I wasn’t quite ready to head back home and I didn’t want to be alone.

  I was feeling so good even with Jace’s attitude, because I knew that he would come back to me soon, that I decided I wanted to celebrate.

  I was in such a good mood; why not teach little Ms. Cassandra a lesson? She must be wondering about her friend. I wonder if there’s a way to let her know that I’d done it, and that she could be next if she didn’t stay out of my way.

  I called her dad at dinnertime. I knew it was their dinnertime because I’d done my research and asked all the right questions.

  No one could accuse me of laziness, I did take the time usually to study all there was to know about my prey. Unless he was just someone I wanted to fuck for the sake of fucking, then I didn’t bother.

  He was like my little dog on a leash when I promised him a special treat if he left home right now and met me in our special hotel room, twenty minutes outside of town.

  “Call them baby and make sure the room’s ready for me.”

  “Of course baby, anything else, is there anything else you’d like them to have ready for you?”

  “You know what, I’m feeling like lobster and champagne, make it happen.”

  “You’ve got it baby, oh hold on.” He moved the mouthpiece away from his lips but I was still able to overhear him lying to his wife about who was on the phone.

  I’m sure his precious little princess was watching him even now, knowing that he was lying, knowing that it was me on the other end of that line.

  “I’ll see you there, don’t be late.” I loved the power I had over him and all the others that weren’t much better.

  I made it to the hotel before him obviously, because I’d already been out and about. He had called ahead and taken care of what I wanted.

  I didn’t bother waiting for him to get started on the champagne and lobster, but dug right in.

  My appetite grows with my excitement, almost as much as my sex drive, and I found that I was famished.

  My mind played over and over again that sweet moment when the cops had rung the doorbell.

  I had prepared myself for this, thank heavens I had Liz as an alibi. Though she had been a little freaked that Sian whoever she was had disappeared the same day we had been planning to get her back.

  Nothing as extreme as this of course; but once I’d calmed her down with the idea that it was just a coincidence, and nothing at all like what we’d had planned, she was okay again. She’s such an idiot.

  The cops didn’t seem to really think that any of us kids had anything to do with it, and my look of surprised horror might not win me an Oscar, but it was enough to convince two cops who were more fascinated by my tits, which were on full display.

  I gorged myself on the good stuff and had a glass of the bubbly by the time he showed up.

  “Hello lover, you made good time.” I walked towards him on my five-inch heels with a little wiggle in my step.

  With my eyes on his, I started to strip; his cock was already getting hard behind his fly.

  I reached out and touched him, running my hand up and down his length. “Guess what, it’s your lucky night. Tonight you can do anything you want to my tight little body.”

  I let my clothes fall to the floor before attacking his. “Anything?”

  His voice sounded like he had a million ideas for that one. I just nodded my head yes as I got to my knees between his legs and pulled his pants all the way down to his ankles.

  His cock bobbed out and almost smacked me in the face. I gobbled it down the way he likes, making sure to get lots of spit on it as he fucked my throat.

  “I bet I know what you want.” I looked up at him coyly with his cock hanging out of my mouth.

  He reached over my back and pushed his middle finger into my ass, spreading me open for his cock.

  Laying back on the carpet I spread my legs wide offering him my pussy to feed on. “Since I disturbed your dinner, it’s the least I can do.”

  His head was between my thighs and his tongue in my pussy in a flash. He really knew how to use that tongue of his I’ll give him that.

  “Come on baby, make me cum on your tongue.” He ate my pussy the way he always does, like the taste of my teenage snatch is the best thing he’s ever had.

  I let him enjoy his meal until I came in his mouth, then it was my turn to taste his cock again. I sucked his cock with my finger shoved up his ass, the way his wife had never done.

  “Do you wanna cum on my face first before you fuck me, h
uh?” I know how to work him into a frenzy for my pussy.

  It’s how I keep him in line, how I can get all that I do out of him and the others, pussy control.

  I had just decided while he was fucking me with his tongue that he was going to pay for a long weekend away for me. I felt like a spa, some place where I would be waited on hand and foot.

  After I revived him again, I let him mount me. I added a little more wiggle to my hips as I whispered my needs in his ear. By the time he was cumming I’d got him to agree to everything I wanted.

  CASSANDRA

  I felt tears run down my face. How could he, this, more than anything, showed me that he really didn’t care anymore. I’d been right in the middle of telling him about my friend going missing and how scary it was.

  He’d made all the appropriate noises and had even seemed genuinely interested, until the phone rang.

  I knew he was lying to mom, knew he was heading to see that tramp. That’s why I snuck out of the house that night and followed him.

  I didn’t know what exactly I was going to do, but I couldn’t just stand by any longer.

  I waited outside that hotel for what seemed like hours. I had lied to mom while he was upstairs and told her I had a headache and was going to bed so that she wouldn’t disturb me.

  I’d already been over to Jace’s place and saw everything that he was doing to find Sian so I couldn’t use that as an excuse for leaving the house again.

  Sian; I had no real theories as to what might’ve happened there and my hope was that she showed up soon. I felt like life was coming apart all around me lately.

  Maybe if I had told Sian what I saw, what I suspected, she might’ve been able to help. But now she was out there somewhere, which made no sense whatsoever.

  I couldn’t think about it anymore tonight, it was too sad, too horrifying. Instead I turned my thoughts to the little slut that needed to be stopped.

  As I sat out there in the dark wondering with a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach what was going on in one of the very expensive rooms upstairs, I let my mind wander to places that I’ve always shied away from.

  I sat up in the driver’s seat as I saw them leave the hotel. The valet brought around her car first and the way that snake wrapped herself around him, as if she hadn’t a care in the world. As if he wasn’t a married man who had friends here that could easily catch them together.

  And what about him? when had he stopped caring? It seemed more and more that he was willing to take chances, to run the risk of being caught. That could only mean one thing.

  I felt the cold knot of fear form in my tummy at the dreadful thought. I waited until he got into his car and followed slowly behind him as he made his way back home.

  I had to wait a little before following him up the driveway. I crept into the dark house and heard the whispers of my mother talking to the traitor.

  I snuck up to their door the better to hear. It hurt me to see my mom being so gullible. Sometimes I wanted to shake her and scream at her for being stupid.

  “But why, you’ve been tired every night for a month, what’s going on? Did I do something wrong? I’ve lost most of the weight now see...”

  I could imagine her embarrassing herself trying to show him her body, and his refusal that came through the door loud and clear only made me hate him more.

  “I told you Irene, things are really busy for me right now, I don’t have time. Now why don’t you go back to sleep? We’ll talk about this in the morning.”

  “That’s what you always say, but then we don’t talk about anything, we haven’t in a while.”

  “For heaven sake Irene, you want to keep living in the big house and driving the most expensive cars, wearing the latest in designer wear? Well then I have to earn the money for that.”

  “Oh bullshit Carter, that’s such bullshit. Have you noticed that our daughter is unhappy and has been for a long time now?”

  “The kid is fine, if anything she’s this way because you disappeared inside your head for months and deserted her.”

  “That’s low, why are you treating me this way...”

  “ENOUGH! Stop this badgering or you’ll not like the consequences. Would you like me to leave you for your desertion, remember what our prenuptial agreement says.

  I can divorce you for abandonment and take both kids if you keep this up. I suggest you look after the children and be grateful for the life I’ve afforded you these many years.”

  “And don’t forget what it says about you committing adultery. Do you think I’m a fool?”

  “You’d have a hard time proving that since it’s all in your head. Now I don’t want to hear another word it’s late and I need to get some sleep.

  And in the future if you want to get a man’s attention whining isn’t the way to go about it. Why don’t you take some more of those pills and go to sleep it’s all you’re good for anyway.”

  All that was heard after that was mom’s soft weeping and the bed rustling as dad got in.

  I stood frozen with tears once again flowing freely down my face, and my mind was made up.

  I never would’ve thought of such a thing, but maybe I could use Sian’s disappearance to my advantage.

  I felt like I was betraying her with that thought but I was sure if she were here she would agree with me.

  My trick now was how to do it. Maybe there was a way; if I could get a hold of my dad’s phone then I could get her out of her house.

  Not tonight though, I needed to plan. With my mind set on a course of action I felt better as I went off to bed. I didn’t feel any guilt over what I was planning to do, it had to be done.

  Chapter 3

  BELLE

  Monday Afternoon

  School has been almost surreal without Sian here. We’d all spent the weekend since Saturday when she’d been found, at the hospital.

  My parents have been very understanding and had even made it to the hospital, not so much to see Sian, since visitation was limited, but to show their support for me, and her family as well. Aren’t they the coolest?

  The three of us, Tammy, Cassandra, and I were a little lost, and it was strange to realize that she’d become the center of our little family.

  It hurt to think about what had happened to her, what she must’ve felt while being attacked.

  I kept wracking my brain to figure out how it could’ve happened, how she could’ve ended up in that alley and nothing was making any sense.

  Jared was pissed but trying hard not to show it. The guys, minus Jace still hung with us at lunch that Monday afternoon, but the mood was somber without our king and queen.

  I wanted to reach out to Jared, but didn’t know how. None of my quips or funny anecdotes were going to work here. I can’t use my usual mouthy rants to ease the situation.

  This was real; someone we knew and loved had been hurt and left for dead. I felt Jared tense next to me two seconds before I heard Mandy’s laugh ring out across the room.

  I followed his fuming gaze to where she was sitting and felt the barely leashed temper under the hand that I still held.

  When he made to get up from his chair I held on firmly and shook my head at him when he looked at me with all that anger and venom in his eyes.

  “Don’t.” He fought an inner battle there at that table surrounded by our friends, who had no clue in that moment what was going on.

  I got it; he thought she had something to do with his sister’s near death and I would too, if things lined up that way, but they didn’t.

  Everyone had seen her on the bus and no one had seen her get off. I know she’s evil, more so than what we see here in these halls, but as much as I would like it to be her, I can’t see it.

  My chair toppled over when I found myself dragged up from it and pulled across the room in the opposite direction from Mandy and her friends, and over to the door.

  Kelly tried stopping us by getting in the way and I thought he woul
d run her over. He didn’t stop and if she hadn’t jumped back out of the way he would’ve walked right over her.

  It would’ve been funny to see one of the popular ones flat on her ass, but I don’t think he was in a joking mood.

  “Jared.”

  “Don’t talk.” Oh well excuse the hell out of me. Would you like to tell me where you’re dragging me off to caveman?

  Of course I didn’t say anything out loud, I’m not stupid, the boy looked like he was ready to skin somebody alive.

  “Oh crap!” that was all I could get past my lungs when I suddenly found myself pushed up against the outside wall and his chest pressed into mine.

  The kiss was a mind blowing, toe tingling, hair-raising thing of beauty. I didn’t know what to do so I just followed his lead, and oh what a lead it was.

  His tongue played with mine as I held my breath, inhaling everything about him. Trying to implant it all into my memory so that I could take it out later and relive this.

  “Nothing smart to say Red?” He held my head back and stared into my wide eyes. Who can talk let alone form a thought? All I could do is shake my head as I watched his head lower to mine for another one of his tongue assaults on my senses.

  By the time this one ended I was breathless and we had an audience. I forgot to be self-conscious when I saw the looks of envy on some of their faces.

  Jared didn’t acknowledge anyone when he took my hand and pulled me along behind him back to where our friends still sat having lunch.

  I didn’t know what to do with myself now. Do I look at him, talk to him, what?

  He took the decision out of my hands when he wrapped one arm around the back of my chair and leaned over to say something to one of the guys.

  It was a very natural move on his part, almost as if he’d been doing it everyday of his life. Oh to be that free and confident.

  He must’ve felt the slight change that came over me when my mind, as was usual for me, started thinking up all the ways that this wouldn’t or couldn’t work.
