Istayed in my room, planning, until Cory came to let me know that dinner was ready.
He led me back downstairs to the dining room and pulled out my chair for me.
Looking around the room, I noticed it was dim, with only the fireplace and candles on the table providing light.
At the end of the table was a round platform covered with red silk.
The rest of the crew was filtering in as well, each followed by their ‘pet.’ Brad actually had a man and a woman who proudly flashed their fangs when they smiled.
Seemed Brad would once again be able to fulfill his dark dream.
Delilah walked in last, with a large, buff man, who I pegged as personal security.
His bald head glowed in the dim light of the dining room, and his eyes tracked us all even as he pulled out her chair.
He was going to be a problem. Definitely a super, but what kind, I couldn’t guess. By the time the night was over, though, I would know—it was my top priority.
“I hope you all settled in and had a good respite because the party has now begun. And you won’t want to miss a thing!
” Delilah giggled as she clapped her hands before taking her seat.
“Alexia, I hope you don’t mind if we borrow your pet for the night.
He provides the best entertainment, but it will cause him to be unavailable later.
I’ll make sure a suitable stand-in will be of service for you. ”
An answer from me wasn’t expected, so I remained silent.
Staff in white shirts and black pants entered, passing out bowls of soup and filling our glasses with wine.
It seemed fine dining was the theme of the night.
Once we were all served and the staff had left, Cory walked back into the room with Brad’s pets, only this time they were naked.
Continuing to eat, I watched as they walked over to the silk-covered platform and climbed onto it so we could easily see them from our seats.
The male vampire shoved Cory to his knees, securing his arms behind him with metal cuffs, as the female vampire crawled toward the omega.
An evil glint shone in her eyes as she shoved Cory’s legs open wide, displaying him to us.
My hands balled into fists under the table as I watched, feeling Delilah’s gaze on me as if she were waiting for me to object.
Taking her time, the vampire licked and nipped down Cory’s chest, clawing her nails into his thighs.
As this took place, everyone else at the table carried on with meaningless chatter, glancing at the performance every so often.
I now understood Delilah’s game. She had looked up every sick and twisted fantasy that people had ever confessed to, and she was putting them into action.
What I couldn’t understand was what she got out of it.
Did she gain that much power by holding all these people hostage with their sins?
A cry of pain caused me to look back at the entertainment, and I saw blood dripping from a series of bites the female vampire had made on Cory’s chest. He had cried out from the one she made at the femoral artery in his groin.
She lapped at the blood, letting it dribble down her face to coat her breasts.
The male vampire had his hand fisted in Cory’s hair, baring his neck for him to strike and drink deeply.
Cory’s eyes rolled back in his head as he whimpered at the forced pleasure that a vampire’s venom released.
The female had taken his cock deep into her throat, and I wanted to turn away when he struggled to break free from her, but the male held him fast.
“It’s hard to look away from something so taboo, isn’t it, Alexia?” Delilah called out, pulling my attention back to her. “Sometimes I’m jealous of how they can be so unapologetically primal. They don’t see giving into their baser needs as a flaw. Instead, they revel in it.”
I paused before I spoke, trying to gauge what would get the reaction I wanted out of her. “It’s intoxicating, the thought of giving in to the darkness we all have inside us. Now I see why people are so drawn to your parties and rave about them afterward.”
Delilah smiled devilishly, leaning forward on the table, her gaze going past me to what was going on behind me.
Following her lead, I was brought back to the performance to see Cory getting pounded from behind by the male.
The poor omega was balls deep in the female who was grinding herself on him.
In a flurry of panting and moaning, they finished and collapsed in a heap of blood-covered limbs.
Other staff came out, helping the three of them out of the room and removing the platform.
Our dishes were taken away and replaced with the main course while a new wine was poured.
As I started on my meal, the sound of snarling and the clank of chains came from the hall.
Moments later, a wolf and a tiger were brought into the room, their chains secured to the far end of the wall.
There was enough length for them to get at each other, but they weren’t close enough to harm us.
Delilah signaled her bodyguard, who carried over a plate with a slab of raw meat on it.
He tossed it in the middle, just out of reach of both animals, and it immediately had the desired effect.
The wolf lunged for the meat, but the tiger batted him away, sending him skidding along the floor.
The wolf turned his attention to the tiger now, rage glowing in his amber eyes.
“Shifters are nothing but animals. Starve them, beat them, and look—you can’t find a speck of humanity in them any longer,” Delilah said, popping a piece of fish into her mouth.
Frowning, I cocked my head to the side, knowing this was going to be a risky question. “I don’t understand. Do you like supers or despise them?”
“Oh, Alexia, that is much too black and white a question. I thought you understood.” Delilah scowled at me.
“We are what we are, but we have a choice to let it control us or not. I know the darkness within me, and to make sure I control it, I have these parties. We let our animalistic side out, rejoice in our darkness, then we take back control and rule over our urges. There’s a whole underground society out there if you really look for them.
I’m not the one who came up with this idea. I simply perfected it.”
“You’re right. That was very small-minded of me,” I admitted, falling back into character to distance myself from this situation. “Thank you for enlightening me to something I didn’t see before.”
Content with my acknowledgment, she turned her attention back to the battle that was waging at the end of the table, but I had no desire to watch two lost souls destroy each other at the promise of a meager meal.
The tiger ended up winning, and Delilah’s guard kicked his prize closer to him so he could eat it.
With the end of the fight came the end of the meal, and we were all brought to a sitting room filled with couches, pillow nests, and overstuffed chairs.
The pets entered the room in nothing but lingerie, carrying trays filled with all kinds of drugs, liquor, sex toys, and condoms. A man walked over to me as I chose an armchair to sit in, handing me a glass with some kind of amber liquid in it.
I took the drink, and he fell to his knees in front of me.
He was a pretty boy with a muscular physique, but not overly so.
His dark brown hair was slicked back, and his bright green eyes looked up at me with hunger in them.
Slowly, he ran his hand up my legs with the barest hint of nail making contact.
He reached my knees, then let his slender fingers slip under my dress.
“Mistress told me to please you so well you’ll forget you don’t have the pretty wolf tonight,” he purred.
“You’ll let me do my best for you won’t you, Mistress? ”
“Oh, lucky Alexia! Delilah is letting her play with Antonio,” Lilly announced from her perch in a large black man’s arms.
“Seems like you have a fine hunk of man to entertain you tonight, Lilly,” I offered as I felt Antonio shifting up my dress.
Lilly looked up at the man in question and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Berry is a sweetheart, but he doesn’t talk all that much since he lost his tongue. Shame—he was really gifted with that thing.”
The only thing to distract from my slowly building rage was the fact that Antonio had reached my underwear and proceeded to rip them off me.
I gasped at the surprise of it as he scooped up my ass and pulled me forward so I was on the edge of the cushion.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out where this was going, and good thing too, because I was not about to let this man stick his dick in me.
I was far from a prude, but I liked to choose who my partner was and set expectations before letting things get intimate.
If this man wanted to let his mouth do the work and help me keep my cover, then so be it, but I would kill him if he pushed me further.
It would speed things up, and I would have to make a new plan on the fly, but worse things could happen.
As Antonio got to work, I took a sip of my drink, discovering it was brandy, but there was something else laced in it.
I tossed my head back and set the drink down on the table as I pretended to be in the throes of bliss thanks to his tongue.
Eyes slitted, I watched the rest of the room.
People snorted coke off their pets, shot up, and tossed back shots like there was no tomorrow.
Delilah was in the pillow nest with her bodyguard, but to my surprise he’d stripped down and shifted into a fucking silverback gorilla.
He charged at Delilah, ripped off her dress, pulled her up by her ankle, and tossed her down on the pillows face first. Shifting once again, he landed behind her, yanked her to him, and fucked the ever-loving shit out of her while roaring his pleasure.
I was so surprised that my own orgasm hit me out of nowhere, causing a moan to burst out of my mouth and my back to arch.
Antonio pressed on, wringing every last bit of pleasure he could from me.
Once I came back to my senses and laid limp in the chair, Antonio moved to grab a condom out of the bowl on the table.
“No,” I snapped, pulled out of my haze. Antonio looked surprised, but he stopped what he was doing.
“Go play with Lilly and her man. I want to watch,” I stated. If I showed interest in another sort of kink, it would help explain why I wasn’t taking my own use of his body. Plus, it would be further help in keeping Lilly distracted, giving me one less person to deal with if things went south.
Antonio nodded with a grin.
It worked, and I was able to make it to the point where everyone had passed out from all the fucking and drugs.
As I moved around the room throughout the night, I discovered there were no cameras, obvious or hidden, in this room.
I was sure the risk of anyone seeing what went on in here would destroy any of their credibility in the human world, and this left me with an ideal opportunity to do my job in one fell swoop.
With plenty of drugs and syringes around, I had the perfect way to deal with this disgusting mess.
I could easily make it look like everyone had overdosed.
The potential issue I had to work around was making sure that none of the supers woke up and tried to stop me.
Drugs and alcohol didn’t work or last in their systems the way they did in humans, but I had a plan to ensure their cooperation.
I would offer any super the chance to escape so that they wouldn’t be blamed for the dead bodies.
Delilah was in the most challenging position to work around, so as much as I wanted to start with our hostess, I had to get rid of the potential witnesses first. If there was any kind of struggle on Delilah’s part, it could rouse others and make my job that much harder.
I began with Jemma, who was sprawled out on her back with another woman sleeping on her stomach.
Swiftly, I injected her with the drugs and stepped back as her body started to convulse before she threw up, choking her own vomit.
The female super sleeping on her didn’t stir, so I moved on to the next person.
The guys were easy to deal with, having larger veins to hit which then left me with two more.
Lilly was wedged in between both Berry and Antonio, curled up in a little ball, so I had to handle this delicately.
The other problem was that she was one of the only people who hadn’t gone overboard with the drugs, which increased the risk that she could possibly wake up.
As if he could sense me watching them, Berry shifted onto his back, giving me access to her legs.
Luckily, many junkies shot up between their toes if they didn’t want it to be noticeable, so that would be easily explained away if Delilah’s family connections didn’t manage to hide away evidence of the deaths.
Slowly, I grasped her big toe and pushed it to the side so I could get to the webbing in between.
A few moments passed after I injected her, and I thought I was in the clear, but she shot up, gasping, her eyes wide with terror.
Just as she was about to scream, Berry rolled back over, smothering her with his body until she started to convulse. It seemed he was done playing pet.
Looking up, Berry’s eyes were on me, and he gave me a nod as if he understood what I was doing. I returned his nod and got up, turning toward Delilah and her gorilla man, only to find them awake and watching me.
