THE GIRL’S EYES BUGGED OPEN wide as the pain caused her to sit bolt upright. Lindsey punched her in the face, driving the nail in slightly deeper even as the head of the nail painfully scraped the backs of her fingers. She laughed as the girl flopped back down to the floor and squealed in agony.
The mother was making loud sounds of distress while attempting to scoot closer to her daughter. It was sort of a useless gesture. There was nothing practical she could do to help with her hands wrapped in so much tape, but the motherly instinct to protect compelled her to try anyway.
Lindsey got to her feet and kicked the woman in the face. There was a loud crunch of cartilage as her nose snapped and blood gushed down over her tape-covered chin. She screamed again as she flopped onto her back and stared up at the ceiling through eyes overflowing with tears.
The visages of both women were a study in abject misery. Lindsey found this a pleasing sight to behold. They looked so helpless and hopeless. Imagining the psychological torment they must be in also pleased her. Most gratifying of all, however, was knowing they were completely under her control. It was a glorious feeling, having that kind of power over other human beings.
She turned away from them and faced her husband with a sneer. “I told you not to come too fast, you fucking asshole, but you didn’t listen. You were thinking of that little cunt when it happened, weren’t you? Well, look at the bitch now. She’s got a fucking nail in her face. Still wanna fuck her?”
Grant withered under the intensity of her glare, averting his gaze as he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. “I’m sorry.”
He sounded strangely subdued, perhaps even shocked by the sudden savagery of what she’d done. He might even be temporarily in the grip of one of his occasional fake moral quandaries. She could imagine the thoughts rolling around in his stupid head.
How did I allow myself to sink to this level? Why did you let this happen, God? Why, why, why?
She snorted.
He was an idiot. A fucking diletantte. He’d gone along with the whole murder scheme largely to please her. She was the one with the real passion for this stuff. If she hadn’t come along, he likely would’ve been content to spend the rest of his life keeping his darker urges contained to the realm of fantasy. At heart, he was a dithering coward. She could only feel contempt for someone like that. The only positive was that she’d learned the truth about him relatively early on.
“Sorry’s not good enough.” She sighed and shook her head. “Fuck it. I’m gonna go take a shower and get all this blood off me.”
He looked at her now, a corner of his mouth lifting in a small smirk. “What’s the point? You’ll only get more on you later.”
She showed him a smirk of her own. “Okay, you want to know the truth? That one-minute fuck did not satisfy me.
