Missing: Part Six

Lara Bradford hammers her fist against the door, breath sharp and chest tight. Anita Sharpe appears fast—southern charm thick as syrup, smile sweet enough to rot teeth. Lara spills everything. Cindy vanished. Girls all queer. She’s been tracing them. Anita listens, polite as sin, until Lara blurts she likes girls too. That fact hangs between them, hot and electric. Anita nods once, then slides a china cup across the table. The tea looks harmless. It isn’t. Lara swallows. Hallucinations hit like a slap—lights stretching, heartbeat spiking, knees folding. When her eyes clear, she lies in a sweaty heap of naked, desperate women, every one panting and reaching. Anita’s soft drawl turns harsh with glee; she admits the trap, kisses the lie off her lips, then sends the pack forward. They dive on Lara, tongues and fingers and bare thighs. Ms. Holloway pins Lara’s legs and laps like she’s starving, but Lara grits her teeth, bites the edge of release back and twists the tide. Holloway shudders, emptied, glazed and gasping. Kenna James and August Ames crawl in next, blond hair sticking to sweat-slick skin. Lara tastes them one after another, pulls their pleasure like silk from a spool, leaves them limp. Cindy crawls closer, Klein too, dazed eyes wide, legs already spread. Each comes fast, too fast; each whimpers when Lara claims the last tremor from their twitching bodies. Now the room is quiet. Anita stands at the end of the chain—pale skin gleaming, red hair wild, nipples tight with anticipation. She lowers herself onto Lara’s mouth, hips rolling, desperate to drink power. Her breath stutters, thighs quiver; she begs for the climax that never arrives on her terms. Lara watches the need twist her face and doesn’t flinch. Outside, footsteps pound up the stairs—new players, weapons drawn, radio squawking. MANTIS, racing the clock. Anita Sharpe is seconds from snapping, hands buried in crimson curls, eyes wild, still riding Lara’s tongue with everything she has left while sirens wail through the cracked windows.
