“But I wanna watch,” she complains with a small pout, genuine disappointment written all over her face.
Cain laughs softly before pointing toward the security camera flickering quietly in the corner of the room.
“We can watch the replay later.”
She watches the camera in silence before finally smiling and giving a reluctant nod. “Fine.”
The two of them start walking toward the door while Sierra’s breathing instantly turns more frantic the second she realizes they’re actually leaving her alone withme.
I slowly flick the lighter open inches away from her trembling body, the tiny flame dancing between my fingers while her terrified eyes lock onto it immediately.
“It’s time for our honeymoon, kitten,” I whisper softly.
I let the lighter slip from my fingers before dropping it onto the floor between her feet, and the second it touches the ground, the gasoline ignites instantly.
Fire explodes across her body so fast it almost looks unreal for a split second, bright violent flames swallowing her completely while a horrific scream tears out of her throat hard enough to make something almost euphoric twist through my chest.
Fuck.
The sound alone nearly sends me into fucking heaven.
Her scream barely has time to settle before the sharp sound of metal tears through the room, bouncing violently off the wallswhile the rail above her head lurches to life. The chains yank her sideways through the air like a fucking puppet, flames trailing behind her burning body while she swings directly toward the massive barrel positioned only a few feet away to her right.
Jesus Christ.
This is fucking beautiful.
My pulse pounds harder and harder the longer I watch her thrash and scream beneath the flames, every last bit of composure breaking apart while the fire lights up the room in violent orange flashes.
She looks absolutely fucking insane like this. Like some screaming human torch being dragged through the air, and I can’t stop fucking grinning.
God.
I swear I could fucking cum from this.
I yank the remote from my pocket before pressing the button immediately, excitement hitting me so hard it almost feels dizzying.
The restraints release at once. Sierra drops straight into the barrel like a burning fucking fireball. Water erupts everywhere the second she crashes into it, splashing across the floor, the walls, even my clothes while steam instantly explodes upward from the barrel in thick, violent clouds.
The flames die almost immediately as they hit the water, but she still thrashes wildly inside the container, muffled screams and frantic splashing echoing through the room while the chains above the barrel continue swaying from the force of the drop.
I’ve never seen anything prettier in my entire fucking life.
My eyes drift toward the remains still scattered across the floor, and anotherbrilliantidea immediately sparks inside my head.
Fucking perfect.
I crouch down before picking something up from beside Vince’s torso, casually brushing blood off it with my thumb while a sick kind of excitement slowly crawls across my face.
Behind me, Sierra keeps thrashing wildly inside the barrel for another couple seconds, water splashing over the sides while muffled choking sounds echo through the room.
I let her struggle just a little longer, then I finally press another button on the remote. The mechanism above the barrel immediately jerks back to life before slowly lifting her out of the water.
The second her head breaks the surface, violent coughing instantly tears out of her while water pours from her mouth and soaked hair—her entire body shaking uncontrollably as she desperately tries dragging air back into her lungs.
Jesus Christ, she looks so fucking perfect.
I keep playing with the controls for another second, carefully adjusting the chains until her body slowly lowers toward the edge of the massive barrel. Her body settles over the thick metal rim once I stop the mechanism, leaving her folded awkwardly across the barrel while water keeps dripping from her soaked skin in steady streams.
