Lynn "Cherry" Phang was standing
in the shower, water pouring down over her shoulders in a warm embrace, trying
to keep her stomach from heaving.
Her mouth was full of the coppery taste of
blood. Raw meat stuck between her teeth and she used her tongue to try prying
it loose. It was something else to focus on other than her trembling insides.
Danicka had let her take the blade on this
one. She had been astride the young man on the floor, feeling the bucking as
his orgasm ran through him, and when he'd opened his eyes she'd had her arms
above her head, silver blade flashing down into the centre of his chest, so
sharp the cartilage around his sternum didn't so much as wink in resistance.
He hadn't had time to make any noise. He
was staring up at her, hands still clenching her thighs, mouth falling wide
open as she continued grinding against him, hands on the blade, reaching her
own peak right at the moment the light in his eyes went out.
Danicka had shown her how to make the cuts,
how to grip the edges of the rib cage tightly, and wrench the halves apart to
open the chest cavity. It didn't work to be dainty and careful. This was the
cage that held all the vitals; it was strong and you had to work to break into
it.
She didn't need an MD to find the heart. It
was deep red, and when her hand closed around it she was shocked at how hard it
was. It came out like a slippery boulder, warm and glistening. She could
clearly see where the knife had sliced into it.
Human teeth were tough enough to tear into
it, as it turned out. This was her kill and it was up to her to consume the
entire heart. Danicka, still naked, sat back on her heels to watch with
studious intensity. Blood was on her chest and up her arms, completely coating
her hands from the instruction. Absently she licked her fingers clean as she
supervised.
It had taken Cherry an hour to eat the
whole heart. She had stayed on the young man's body, noticing absently that his
erection still faded, even after death. Or maybe that was just from the blood
loss elsewhere. She wasn't free of that appendage until the heart was gone,
forced down her throat like a warm, metallic mass. Her esophagus tried to
accommodate but it was a lot of mental work to keep it all down.
She opened her eyes, staring down at her
feet as the last of the man's blood whirled around the drain before slipping
away. She picked it out from under her nails, scrubbed her torso with both
hands, just to be absolutely sure it was all gone. Danicka wouldn't let her use
a washcloth, something about there being enough of their DNA in the place as it
was.
Cherry turned the water off, stepping into
the coolness of the bathroom and feeling some relief from it. Her stomach
hadn't been doing well in the warm water and humidity.
She raised her eyes to her reflection in
the mirror. Her own eyes were wide and dark staring back at her, and as she
focused on them the warmness started.
Cherry didn't know how to explain it. The
first time she and Nancy had shared a heart with Danicka it had been like a
cocaine rush; pure energy flowing through her blood, warm and vibrant. She
could feel her body humming with the power she'd just consumed, and at that
time she had only been able to handle about a fifth of the heart on her own.
For Cherry, that was her new high. Every
time she got to take part in a kill the rush was amazing, her reward, until it
started to take more and more for her to feel it. The last time she'd only had
one woman to share it with. This time the rush was all hers.
Her eyes closed and her head fell back. Her
skin puckered with goose flesh, her nipples hardened and she felt her entire
body twitch. It was better than any drug. Hell, it was better than sex with
Onis, even. It was a cosmic orgasm, the energy of the lost life all hers now,
strengthening everything from bone to muscle to skin.
When she opened her eyes again, cheeks
pinks, mouth parted and panting with almost carnal satisfaction, Danicka was in
the doorway, dressed and smiling.
"My dear Cherry," she purred,
coming forward with Cherry's clothes and setting them on the vanity. "I'm
proud of you, babe."
Cherry grinned. "That was amazing. I
feel fucking ... invincible."
Danicka's grin intensified to match
Cherry's. "Perfect, babe. Now let's get clothes on you, and let's go home
to wait for Onis."
Cherry basically quivered at that thought.
After the kill, Onis always took the women to new heights of orgasmic pleasure,
and at the last minute it always seemed like the kill never happened. Even if
she'd had some niggling guilt, like she had the first few times, he made it go
away and that made this high all the more explosive.
"Let's go," she agreed, reaching
for her clothes.
