ROBERT HAD CARRIED NAN INTO HIS NEW HOUSE, A LOVELY OLD Victorian place with a basement that had been deserted years ago. The cobwebs and dust motes gave the place a macabre feel, the dusty abandoned odor that permeated the rooms a reminder of the house he’d once lived in as a child.

Of the basement where he’d spent most of his time.

Ugly words rolled from his tongue as memories bombarded him — memories of his mother scrubbing his mouth with soap until his tongue was raw and bleeding. The ancient Victorian lamp in the corner looked exactly like the one she used to light up the room when she wanted him to see what was in her hands.

A belt. The thick rope used to hold back the heavy dark drapes. A cord she’d wind around his neck and penis.

Then the beating, and she’d close him in the dark.

Nan roused, a scream trying to escape the duct tape he’d stretched across her mouth, her eyes wide with fear.

She’d heard the stories Lenora had told in that fucking courtroom. She hadn’t believed her best friend back then. Or maybe she had, but she’d been so delicate she hadn’t been able to stand listening.

He would show her exactly what he’d done to Lenora. Make her a believer before he killed her.

She kicked at him as he carried her down the stairs, the cold, drafty walls rattling. The wind whistled through the eaves, dust motes swirling in front of his eyes as he plowed down the steps.

Nan was heavier than Lenora, a fighter, too.

That would make it more fun.

But he wanted Lenora here for the party to watch him take his pleasure from her friend.

Nan squirmed and wiggled, kicking and trying to elbow him, but he kicked open the door to one of the rooms and tossed her inside. Her body clunked as it hit the concrete floor, a grunt of pain escaping her.

Darkness bathed the room, the light snuffed out by a lack of windows, the musty scent of age, rotting wood and dead animal so strong that he paused to inhale it.

Home sweet home. Just like when he was young.

He was tempted to stay here and keep Nan company tonight, but he had other plans. He had to find his second victim quickly.

Then it would be time for Lenora to join them.

Hand on his cock, rubbing, stroking, he limped toward Nan, his shoes scraping the concrete.

She shook her head wildly, her eyes huge with horror and denial. He removed the burner phone from his pocket, then punched in Lenora’s phone number. Adrenaline sped through his veins as he waited on her to answer.

One ring. Two. Three.

“Come on, my pet,” he whispered. “Talk to me. I’ve been waiting…”
