“Yes, Carrie,” I say, letting her name roll of my tongue in a way that I know will make her shiver.
I watch her teeth sink into her lower lip, full and swollen by my kisses. God, I could probably come just from the site of her naked and kneeling before me yearning to please me. The way that she opens herself to me is an aphrodisiac all its own. She tightens her grip as much as she can and strokes a little faster she licks her lips and her eyes fix of the pre-cum leaking from the head of my cock. She looks back up at me again.
"What do you want?" she asks.
I watch the rise and fall of her chest. I know that she isn’t prepared to hear the true answer to that question.
“I’ve gotten what I want.” It’s a shadow of the truth. “What do you want Carrie?”
I hear a hitch in her breath, but she looks up me, and it’s clear that desire is once again taking hold of her.
“I want to suck your cock.” She looks down quickly and I see the flush on her cheeks. I also see the way her nipples have hardened again to stiff peaks that I want to take between my teeth. I also note the way she’s squirming, pressing her thighs together.
I raise an eyebrow. “Carrie, I can deny you, nothing.”
I watch as her tongue flicks the head of my cock, tasting me. She then runs her tongue the length of my cock tasting me. She licks her lips again and then sucks the head of my cock into her mouth.
The sight of her pretty full lips stretching around my cock tests the very limits of my control, my sanity. Her mouth is like heaven, hot, wet perfection, wrapped around my throbbing cock. I resist the urge to thrust as she slowly lowers her head to take more of me. My fingers tighten in her hair.
“Carrie," I breathe my sweet angel’s name.
She hums softly and my cock throbs and jerks in the soft wetness of her mouth. Carrie attempts to lower her head further and I keep my hand in hair guiding her so that she doesn't take too much too fast, but she will take every inch of it. I slowly relax my hold one her an inch at a time like the most exquisite torture, until finally her lips reach the base of my cock. My throbbing cock fills her mouth and she begins to slowly move her head.
Pleasure like the sweetest poison crawls through my veins and claws its way up my spine, obliterating the last shreds of my self-control. I thrust up into her mouth feeling the head of my cock touch the back of her delicate throat. Her hands tighten on my thighs but she doesn’t stop sucking. Instead she times the movement of her head to match the rhythm that I've set for her. I look down and I don't believe I ever seen anything as beautiful as Carrie kneeling before me with my cock in her mouth and my fingers tangled in her wild hair.
I want to keep her forever. I want to break the cage that surrounds her dark mind. I want to watch her become the beautiful deadly siren that lures fools to their death. She could do it easily. I'd certainly follow her into the darkest pits of hell with a smile on face. If I weren’t so lost in the pleasure of her mouth, perhaps I’d wonder who the real captive here is. But I can’t think about anything other than the wet, delicious heat of her mouth.
The pace of my thrust speed up and I imagine how Carrie will soon look covered in the remnants of my release. I want to come all over her, one of many ways I’ll lay claim to her body. The same ecstasy that obliterated my self-control has made me feral. I snap my hips forward as the white heat of pleasure overtakes my body and mind. I arch into Carrie's beautiful mouth and spill stream after stream of my seed into her throat. Carrie tries to swallow it all but I pull back and allow my seed to cover her lips, her neck, her chest. I lean back into my chair somewhat sated. I watch as Carries tongue darts out tasting my cum. She then leans forward and laps up what remains on my cock before tucking it neatly back in my pants. She licks her lips clean and looks up as me a debauched and fallen angel. She wears corruption well. It suits her. I’m not the least bit surprised.
"Was it…was I?" She asks her voice barely above a whisper.
I take her arm and help her to her feet pulling her back into my lap so that she’s straddling me. I rest her forehead against mine.
"You were perfect,” I say kissing her lips savoring the taste on myself on her tongue. I tilt her head back kissing her deeply with all the passion and madness that's in me.
Carrie grips the front my he shirt trying to pull me closer to her. Finally the need for breath breaks our kiss. I scrape my teeth against her long lovely neck just to feel her shiver against me. I begin dropping kisses along her collarbone, licking the cum from her chest. She whimpers, a small little sound, but enough to make my cock twitch. I could take her a thousand times and never want her with less than every fiber of my being. She's my obsession.
I suck her nipple into my mouth, my tongue collecting the seed that drips from it. Carrie tangles her hand in my hair and her nails scrape against my scalp. God the things I want to do her, but those are pleasures for another night. I bring my lips back to her and kiss her again, this time lightly on the lips. She wraps her arms around my neck and holding her close against me and carry her upstairs.

Up the stairs, I take her to my room. Pausing only to remove our clothes, I lift her again and I carry her through the door and into my private bathroom.
With its claw foot tub and marble floor, the master bathroom is easily one of the most pleasing upgrades I’ve made to this old home. It maintains the integrity of the old architecture yet still has modern touches, like large bowl sinks and simple, elegant faucets. I liked the way the sinks and mirrors looked when I oversaw the renovation, but now I’m delighted to have a set. His and hers.
The way Carrie gave herself to the pleasure I offered and to the pleasure she gave me, I understand even more that she’s my dark angel, our souls entwined, never to part. I see in her an equal kind of energy. Her dormant desires drawn to life bring me more satisfaction than anything else.
I draw the bath water, keeping one hand around Carrie and using the other to work the faucet, casting a few drops of lavender and lemon oils in for a calming scent. They’d inspired thoughts of Carrie when I selected them, and the hopes that I’d share them with her are now coming to fruition. I bring us both into the water, hot enough to soothe aching muscles and draw out any tensions she might have.
“Is the temperature suitable?” I ask, pulling her tight against my chest and kissing the top of her head. I look at her eyes, eyelids drooping. I know we’re both tired after the torrential orgasms, post-dinner.
“Yes,” Carrie murmurs, barely above a whisper. She closes her eyes. Her face nuzzles against my chest.
She must hear my heartbeat, and it can’t lie to her about how her closeness makes me feel.
I’m certain that Carrie’s still planning to escape. My morality is lacking, but not my judgment.
Carrie doesn’t have to trust me to want me, and she didn’t have to give herself to me. I searched her eyes for fear then and I didn’t see it. I bring my lips to the top of her hair and kiss her again, soft and gentle as I can manage. Despite how much I’ve had her already, I only want Carrie more. I didn’t initiate her mouth on my cock, and motives held no factor in the pleasure. I accept that it may be just a ploy to further gain my trust. If it is, it doesn’t dampen my desire for Carrie now, nor did it then.
I stroke my fingers up and down her arms. The water will get cold if I don’t hurry about our business, but I breathe deep the scent of her and the scent of the oils. A serene stillness settles around my soul. I knew that she was brilliant from the moment I first spoke to her. I recognized a wise soul in a naive body. The potential for darkness in her mind called to be made real, but I recognized more in her. Carrie’s cleverness beckoned to shed light on the shadows of her mind.
I cling to the sensation of her light body so fragile against me. The skin, unloved, untouched before me. I pray to something only I know, no normal god would have me, and ache to be worthy of her desire. Let her want me, truly want me, and that’s how I’ll know that my life has been
worth anything. She wiggles against my lap, adjusting as my cock rudely hardens at just the thought of something resembling a normal life with her.
The curve of her ass touches me, and despite how much I want her, I ignore that sensation. “May I bathe you?” My voice aches as it leaves me, words difficult to form with my ardent obsession.
Carrie’s eyes look up at mine and there’s no lie I can detect in them. Not fear, not longing. She is observing me, considering my question. Unlike the brute my body wants to be, I’m going to listen to her mouth rather than taste her lips with my tongue like I crave.
There’s a true wickedness in her with such a purity that it could bring me to my knees. More than anything, I ache for her to truly belong to me. I know that she could cast me out, flee from me, destroy me, and I’d sooner accept that fate than not have her. How I fell with her was to be determined, but that fall is as inevitable as the demise of those who wronged her.
Finally, her perfect lips part to taunt me no longer in silence. “No one has ever bathed me, not since I was a child.” Carrie nods. “I think that would feel very calming. I’d like that.”
A gentleman would accept this gift. I, however, want to beg for any scrap of knowledge about her that I can hold close in my heart. To know her more feels like to know myself, my obsession with her runs so deep. “I know I’ll enjoy it,” I say in a hushed tone, urging myself to relax my interrogative urges to keep the tranquility of the moment. But everything about Carrie challenges my self-control.
“What?” Carrie asks with a laugh. “I don’t believe you’ve never washed a woman. I’m sure people do it with those they didn’t whisk off to their dark, secret mansions.” She bites her lip and looks down. Something about my discomfort gave her a footing, and I want to explore this.
I touch my hand to Carrie’s upper arm, careful not to squeeze her as hard as I’d like to. “I actually haven’t before. I’ve never wanted to,” I tell her. “Who bathed you as a child, your parents or your staff?”
I almost don’t recognize my voice. I’m bringing up thoughts of my own childhood, an area of my life that I rarely dwell on. Perhaps if I’d sought a therapist over these things, I wouldn’t be a murderer. But it is the knife that brought Carrie and I together…
Carrie’s mouth tenses. “Only my nanny, who deeply resented my existence. I wanted to be closer to her, more than my cold mother, but I can’t say I blame Zella for how she felt about my family.” Carrie shakes her head. “Tell me what happened to your family.”
I haven’t told Carrie that something did happen to my family. I have used this technique before — you ask a leading question to confirm something that you don’t already know. Yet, the way she leans closer to me and touches my face now…I don’t believe this tactic is ill-willed.
“Family is supposed to make you better.” I grab a bath sponge and body gel made of ivory shimmer that I bought, imagining it glistening on Carrie’s wet skin like it will now. I dip the sponge in the water and then wet it, and bring it up to her chest, washing off the remnants of our lust. “My family did not, however. That’s why I don’t see them as my family. They’re gone…” Fuck, I’m evading the question and I don’t mean to. “Carrie, I want to tell you. But I have to ask, do you really want to know?”
Her hand on my face drops to my hand holding the sponge. Carrie squeezes my hand. “Yes, I do want to know. I didn’t want to talk about my parents, but I did. So now it’s your turn. That’s fair, right?” Her voice goes soft and I know that neither of us truly want to talk about our families. Yet, the gap between captive and partner can’t be bridged with rainbows and sunshine. We’re more nightmares, secrets, uncomfortable truths.
“My father killed my mother, and then himself. They were never like me, they didn’t care much for me, and my father planned to kill me too. But Carter’s stepmother had betrayed him, so my father killed himself before bothering to finish me off. I was about your age then, and Carter was my only friend. I considered him family.”
I’m telling her more than I planned to. Her hand squeezes mine, harder. Carrie’s touch weakens my resolve. How could I hold back? When Carrie would have everything I offer, how do I not pour everything out for her? “I had hoped you would meet Carter soon, if you decide to stay,” I growl the words, my aching need to have Carrie biting back against my resolve to be calm.
I expect her to pull back at the intense thrust in my voice, the beast refusing to be kept at bay. She doesn’t, but I feel I have to salve an unseen wound. “Carrie, I truly would never hurt you,” I tell her.
“The sponge is cold,” Carrie whispers.
It takes me a second to realize what she’s saying. I dip it back in the warm water.
Carrie turns around and pulls back her hair. “Wash my back, please.”
I work small circles around her skin. I would never mar this skin, never bite deeper than either of us can take, metaphorically or otherwise. Crimes against Carrie, capturing her, are the first I’ve ever regretted. In some ways, I wish that I could undo this whole mess. In other ways, I know that I want to be able to drag her down to where I am. So what if I recognized something in her that lives in me, too? Why did I have to take her this way?
“That feels really good,” Carrie says.
I lean forward and see her lip captured between her teeth, her eyes closed. I watch her eyes and bring the sponge around to the top of her chest again, squeezing so soapy tendrils dive down the valley between her breasts.
Carrie’s eyes flutter open, a flicker of lust blazing through her when her eyes capture mine. She looks at my lips, and I stop breathing. I watch her lean closer, closing her eyes again, parting her lips.
Carrie is going to kiss me. I am shaken and needy, my lips trembling when hers wisp across mine, her tongue entering my mouth. She pulls back and breaks the kiss.
“You won’t lie to me?” she asks.
“No,” I breathe, my chest expanding so much that my heated skin touches hers, slicked with soap.
“You never have?” Carrie’s voice is raw, her throat sounding scratchy with the question.
I drop the sponge and pull her around so that she’s on my lap. “No.”
Carrie’s legs wrap around me and her hands cradle the back of my head, fingers tangling in my hair. She pulls closer to me and I cannot restrain myself any longer. I squeeze her tight against me until neither of us has air in our lungs, my actions matching my need.
“I shouldn’t stay,” says Carrie, but her eyes are blazing.
I want to bite her lip, but I want to listen more. My fingers trail down to the small of her back and my thumb draws a circle in the dimple just above her ass.
“I don’t think I want to leave,” Carrie says, and she sound crestfallen. Her forehead presses against mine. I close my eyes and feel her, feel her breathing, feel her lips ghost over mine and her little nose pressing into my own. “I’m afraid I’ll never feel as free as I do when you have me.”
Carrie’s words scorch through me. My heart could stop now, beat itself to death, with how intense I feel about what she’s just said.
Her lips crash over mine, hips rolling. The kiss is fierce with a passion that I knew lived inside her. I know she’s tired, and I wonder what brings out this surge of energy in her. When she finally breaks our kiss, gasping, she lays her head against my shoulder and looks up at me.
“I think I need to sleep for a thousand years.” She sighs.
“Let me finish washing you, and then you can slumber till you want to wake up,” I reply hoarsely. I mean every word. I don’t want to give her up. I won’t ask her to come to my bed. Not after how little control I had, how I let myself touch her so soon after I took her, after everything she’s been through. I’m a fucking monster, and I’ve never cared about that until I realized I wanted to mold someone else into a monster, too.
I bring the sponge back to the rest of her body parts until she’s sudsy, and she slips under the water to rinse herself. I watch her a
s she rises, a lightness to her mood that I’ve never seen in anyone. When she opens her eyes, she smiles.
I’ll never be as good as Carrie. I pray she’ll never be as dark as me. But if our fates weren’t already locked together, I sealed that when I took her. Touched her.
“Do my hair tomorrow, please.” Carrie yawns and stretches out her arms. She stands and steps out of the tub, and I pull the bath plug and start to drain the water.
I watch her grab one of the towels from the steel shelves beside the tub. I want to towel off Carrie’s wet body and scoop her back up in my arms, drag her to my bed, wrap my arms around her and fall asleep with my face buried in her neck.
“I don’t want to sleep alone.” Carrie looks down, as if she feels guilty. “Are you comfortable with…cuddling?” She says the word like it’s foreign.
If only I could lie to her, separate the tethers she has on my soul. That’s not what could save me.
I need someone to love me when I’ve never loved anything my whole life.
“I’ve actually never done that, either,” I tell her. I stand from the tub. She turns and hands me a towel. “I would like to.” I hold out my hand to touch her face.
“I’m tired. I’m tired of being alone, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stay.” Carrie says, and her hand closes over my extended one, pulling it down and holding it as she leads me out of the bathroom. I drop both of our towels into the hamper next to the sinks, careful not to use the opportunity of her baring her body to be a lecherous monster.
I swallow when we’re in front of my four poster cherry wood bed, and watch her climb in. I go to the other side of the bed and slide under the covers, pulling the duvet and sheets over her as well. Carrie grabs my hand as I finish. I slide my body close to hers, giving in and fully holding her against me where she’s captured my arm. Pressed against me like she is, I hear her breathing slow. I dare to bring my face to her neck, pressing my lips there and feeling her pulse. I close my eyes. I know she’s falling asleep. I am, too.
