I chuckle at Annie, who rolls her eyes and sits down beside me. I have to physically stop myself from kissing her, as she stares at me like I’m the only one around her. The wind picks up slightly, tossing her long brown hair into my face, making me get a strong whiff of her fruity perfume.

A shadow flashes in my peripheral vision to the right, making me squint and stare off into the darkness. I could’ve sworn I just saw someone run from behind one tree to the next, then nothing. The fire is casting an orange glow. Maybe it's causing me to see things or make up figures, due to the wind and light.

But then it happens again, a black shadow of a tall figure sprints from behind said tree to the next, drawing closer to us.

“What are you looking at?” Annie asks as she tracks my eye movement.

I don’t know if I should tell her. I’m probably being dramatic.

“Nothing, it was just the wind.”

“You’ve been super jumpy since we got here,” Shay says, giving her two cents we really didn’t need.

I debate whether it’s time I tell them my theories and worries, or if I should just keep it to myself because she’s right. It could be paranoia because we’re in a strange place so far from home, and with a bunch of strangers.

“Sorry, I’m just not used to being this far away from home,” I say, giving them a half-truth.

“Don’t worry, just relax. Nothing bad is going to happen,” Willow says in her super optimistic tone. I envy how carefree she can be—never too stressed about anything, even on days when the world feels like it’s falling apart. “This is going to be the best week of our lives, I can tell. Just trust me.” She flashes a pearly white smile, then starts braiding her hair.

I swear she believes in all that spooky stuff like crystals, tarot reading, and the craziest of all, spirits.

My eyes flash back to the row of trees off in the distance, but nothing moves. No shadows with broad shoulders. More now than ever, I think my suspicions of being watched are valid.

The question is, who is it?

Her Shadow

CHAPTER 14

The paper in my hand rustles as I try to open her tent zipper. My nerves are on edge from when she watched the tree line like she knew I was there. I waited until they got pulled into a conversation with a couple about the time the fireworks were going to start before I made my quick getaway back to my site. I don’t think I’ve ever run so fast in my life, nearly breaking an ankle on a tree root in the process.

I lay the folded paper on top of her pillow on her air mattress, hoping she sees it before she lies down tonight. She’s going to be spazzy when she reads it, but I need to make contact, and this seems like the safest way.

My heart drops into my stomach when I hear tires on gravel come closer to the tent. If I get caught in here, all my poorly thought-out plans will blow in the wind like leaves floating out of sight. I slowly unzip the tent's window just enough to peek out, not being able to prevent the rustling sound of the thin material where the fabric falls open.

A black truck pulls away, leaving a box next to her purple Jeep. I’ve never seen anyone get mail here, so this is slightlyconcerning. Thankfully, it’s not them though. I climb out of the tent and slip my boots back on.

My curiosity gets the best of me, causing me to check where the random package came from. To my surprise, it’s from Hunter and his family. It must be a special thank you for all they’ve done for them in the past six months. Even after the girls graduated high school and stopped Girl Scouts, they continued to help at The Rainbow Reading Room, on his homestead, and even at the community center. I move the giant brown box away from the side of her Jeep to the picnic table, hoping people are less likely to fuck with it or steal it while the girls are still at the bonfire.

A sizzling pop catches my attention as a streak of blue flies through the sky. Time to go back to my little prey and her friends. I need to see how she acts with Annie when they think no one is looking.

My cock throbsat the sight of my little prey as she kisses Annie up against a tree. When I went to check on them, they weren’t with the other three who were shmoozing beer off a group of young adults, as the lights of fireworks danced in the sky.

It didn’t take me long to spot the two. Her long blonde hair and pale legs tucked next to a tree about ten feet away from the others. They left the bonfire and went towards the lake to watch the fireworks.

Scarlett has Annie pinned to the tree with her knee placed between Annie's open thighs, as her hands are pinned above herhead. The two of them are glued together, grinding, and letting out low whimpers.

I shouldn’t love what I’m seeing. It should bother me to see her be this way with anyone, but it gets me rock fucking hard.

Seeing my sweet little prey turn into the predator and dominating her prey does something indescribable to me.

I can’t help but wonder if they’d let me fuck both of them, or if they’d willingly allow me to watch. Part of me feels guilty for seeing them be intimate earlier, but they keep picking semi-public places. Annie was never really on my radar except for the fact that she was Scarlett’s best friend, but seeing her now giving into her primal urges shines her in an all new light.

First, I have to get my little prey to accept the fact that she’s mine, and that won’t ever change no matter how hard she fights. I will claim her, fuck her into submission, and soil her virgin pussy, because I’m worse than the monster under her bed. I’m a good guy, no one would suspect me to be the depraved monster that I truly am.

I play a community serving, kindhearted guy who’s always there when you need him, but lurking under my fabricated mask is a monster itching to come out and play. This week seems like the perfect time to do just that, starting with getting off behind this tree as they do together, while the night sky flashes every color in the rainbow.

Scarlett cries out a moan of pleasure as Annie humps her leg at the same time. In the faint moonlight and firework light, I watch as Scarlett fishes her hand down Annie's shorts. She rubs Annie's pussy with fierce determination. My little prey is trying all she can to get her best friend to cum while she rides her leg and uses her fingers.It's hot as hell.
