TWENTY-SEVEN

Anger trembles through me as I stare at the black screen on my phone. It’s a useless object now the cops have discovered my surveillance camera. I rip open the phone, tear out the SIM, and scratch it with my knife, and then after wiping the phone clean, toss it into the fast-flowing river. I have many more stashed in a secret place, so it’s no great loss. The camera, on the other hand, will be difficult to replace, mainly because the cops would be watching to see if anyone purchases a replacement. It’s just as well, I have another set up in a cabin in the forest out at Rainbow. The cops are generally stupid. After finding two bodies in the same cabin, they’ll assume I’m going to take another girl from Rattlesnake Creek. Although maybe they’ll change their mind when they discover Vicki Strauss was out of Serenity, but they’ll never consider Rainbow.

Tempters, the sweet little club set on the back of the Little Gem Saloon, is one of my favorite places. The girls there are generous with their time but I haven’t found one I want. The last time I spoke to the manager he mentioned they had new girls coming in this week. Tempters has an agreement with a club in Bozeman to exchange girls every three months to give the clubs variety. Excitement sends shivers down my spine. I can’t wait to watch a group of new potential darlings dance so I can consider them for my collection. I’m sure they’ll do their thing and try their best to lure me, tempt me, and I’m sure this time, one will win. People don’t understand why they are so important to me. I read the papers and the trash-talking about me. Don’t they understand it’s their fault for tempting me?

My back still holds the scars from my father’s humiliation. Dragged in front of his congregation, stripped, and flogged. I never cried because I’d seen the self-flagellation scars on my father’s back. He was a sinner just like me. He died knowing his punishment didn’t work, because the day I pressed the pillow over his nose, I whispered close to his ear, “I still crave a woman’s body and soon I’ll have a hundred of them all sexy, and smiling as they wait for me with open arms.”
