T he meeting, like always, was incredibly boring and uneventful. The only notable thing was the discussion of the upcoming solstice.
Every thirteen years, the Herd was to sacrifice a virgin. They presented the solemn offering to the moon, seeking its continued protection and keeping the veil over their malevolent deeds. It was a barbaric, archaic ritual that I honestly couldn't believe they were still practicing. They were all well and truly insane. Apparently the Bennettes were leading the ritual. There are rumors that they descended from witches, a lot of the rituals performed by the herd came from old tomes kept by them. Tim looked as horrified as all the other new recruits .
Ah, you didn’t know how fucked up they were before you joined. Did you kids?
Welcome to the Herd .
The underground society of Red Falls. It was literally underground. The whole town basically had another town under it, where all sorts of depraved, messed up shit went down. Red Falls University was right in the middle of the town, so gatherings were right under it. You could access the town below from many places above and vice versa, you just had to know where. Most places were okay to roam but there were some restricted areas only Herd members were allowed to go into. I stood in a corner and listened to the whole fucked up debacle.
This was why they all needed to go. This was why I was plotting, waiting to pull the blood-soaked rug from under them.
Two fucking hours later . I navigated the maze-like passage underground and opened a hidden door to the same hallway I used to get in. As I shut the door, I looked down one side of the hallway. Empty. The other way. Empty. Just as I was about to head in the opposite direction of the library, a sudden flash of red caught my attention, causing me to freeze in place. Intrigued, I found myself turning completely around, and my heart did a thing , a very weird thing, it thudded like crazy in my chest as if it had been dormant for years. The most breathtaking woman I'd ever laid eyes on walked out of the library and was walking towards me though she probably had no clue I was there.
What was she doing here after hours? Her long, dark hair swayed as she walked. Every time she walked by a window, the moonlight reflected against her skin, making it look almost doll-like. I was mesmerized. In an almost comical moment, her full breasts jiggled as she tripped on air and nearly fell on her face, her little gasp made my cock hardened instantly. She righted herself and gripped the strap of her crossbody bag, her red nails gleaming in the moonlight. I imagined those small slender fingers wrapped around my cock, unable to close all the way, stroking me. Fuck .
I nearly came from the image. She was driving me crazy, and we only just met. My eyes couldn't help but wander down to her beautifully curved hips, and her legs seemed to go on for miles, even though she had to be no more than five foot three inches. My gaze snapped back to the red coat. The sway of it and the aura she emanated were mesmerizing. I felt like was in a trance.
She walked with her head down, concealing her eyes from my view. The desire to see her eyes, to truly connect with her, consumed me. I blended into the shadows, motionless and invisible. So there was no way she could see me, but somehow, as if she sensed me and the raw need rolling off me, she stopped and looked directly at me. My breath caught, my whole body tensed and melted at the same time. If that was even possible. Her eyes, filled with the perfect swirl of innocence and darkness, were wide with fear that made me nearly shudder with pleasure.
Ah little red . You just made the biggest mistake of your life .
She should never have looked. She should have kept walking. Her pixie-like features were breathtaking; a delicately upturned nose, large brown eyes, and luscious, pouty lips that would undoubtedly be heavenly wrapped around my cock. What would those lips taste like? What would her cunt taste like? I almost groaned at the thought of stripping her of everything but the red coat and burying my face in her pussy. She turned away abruptly, as if sensing the direction of my dangerous lustful thoughts and walked briskly away. I finally took a breath, and that’s when I realized the strawberry and rose scent from earlier was coming from her. And that was what did it. I couldn't let her go. I knew I couldn't let her slip away. I was compelled to follow her, and so I did.
I trailed after her. Keeping my distance, but unable to stay too far away from her.
Every man, intoxicated, old, young, turned to look at her as she walked by them. I wanted to growl at them. Little red was mine. I was walking too close to her before I knew it. She stiffened and pulled out her phone and called someone. My head tilted to the side as if I could hear who was on the other end by doing so. Who are you calling little red? Better not be a boyfriend. He’d be dead by morning if that was the case. I couldn't make out what she was saying, and that pissed me off even more. She stayed on the phone for the rest of the walk.
When she began approaching a long-secluded driveway, she got off the phone. I walked into the trees beside the two-story house and watched as she unlocked her door and walked in, locking it behind her. I smirked . Oh, that wouldn't stop me little red . I waited and then smiled as she came into perfect view in a window on the second floor, facing the dense wooded area I was standing in. She breathed out a sigh and then took off her coat and bag. She picked up a glass of water she must have gotten before she walked up the stairs and drank deeply. The movement of her throat made my already rock-hard dick jump. She sat on her bed for a moment and then walked to the window. Without her coat, I could see the outline of her tits even more and they were much bigger than I originally thought. I let out a low groan and palmed my erection through my slacks. She drew her curtains closed, but I could still see her silhouette perfectly. She took off her shirt causing her tits to bounce enticingly, then she put her long hair into a ponytail and then walked out of view. Fuck . I needed more. I needed to see more of her. I cursed again.
Calm down, Caden . I told myself.
I don't know how long I stood there for, but she never came back into view. She probably climbed into bed and fell asleep, though her lights never went out. The thought of breaking in crossed my mind, but I resisted. No one else seemed to be moving inside the house, but I had to be cautious. Although every fiber of my being wanted to say fuck it and go in any way. I could just kill whoever I came across, whoever got in my way of getting to her. Did she live alone or were the others just sleeping? A muscle in my jaw tightened as I thought about how little I knew about my little red. That would change soon enough. I took one final glance at her window as the sky began to brighten, then made my way back to campus, got into my car, and drove home.
