Page 17 of Dark Thirst (The Scandalous Novellas)

M ichelle and I have been texting and calling one another all week.

The day is finally here, and I’m pushing through the last couple of repairs so I can get out of here early today.

I haven’t said anything to Michelle about coming down to visit, so I hope she’ll be surprised.

Well, I think she’ll be more than surprised when she discovers my plans for her tonight.

She mentioned going to a party tonight at some frat house, so I’ll have to casually find out from her where it is.

Not super excited my girl would want to go party with a bunch of drunk football guys, but whatever.

She is in college after all, and I trust her enough to know she wouldn’t do anything stupid.

Anna has texted me questioning who I’m with for the last couple of days, and I’ve ignored her.

I honestly don’t know what to do at this point, and I want to enjoy my weekend with Michelle before I let her know that Anna has been snooping around in our business.

My phone vibrates in my front pocket, and I check to see if it’s Michelle. It is.

Michelle: Hey good morning. Heading to class! I have work to do this afternoon so I’ll call you tonight!

Sean: Talk to you soon, princess. Have a good class.

Good. She suspects nothing, and if I head out of Chicago by six tonight I should be out there a little after eight if I don’t hit too much traffic. I’ve only been to a couple of local college campuses for parties before, so I Googled the campus she’s at.

I found the building her dorm room is in, and there is a parking lot nearby I can camp out in until she leaves for the evening. I hope she wears something comfortable to run in.

Making a mental checklist of what I need for the weekend, I return to work and finish out the rest of my day.

My apartment has felt empty again since Michelle left last weekend, and I can’t wait to have her back here again.

I’ve been replaying how I want things to go tonight, and I made sure we have a safe place to go after our little rendezvous.

There’s a little motel outside of town that looks discreet, so I booked a room for the evening.

I’ve packed up a cooler filled with snacks and drinks for us, a couple of different masks, my Buck 120 hunting knife, a few different outfits, comfortable boots, and of course, my camera setup.

I wish I had a GoPro, but my phone will have to do.

Once I get to the motel, I can set up my camera and tripod so it’s ready to go before I go to meet her.

It's nearing six, so I double check and make sure I have everything. My palms are sweaty with nerves. No… excitement.

I’ve always been pretty open to trying anything sexually with my partners, but this is something completely different.

I want Michelle to be afraid, but to still know that I won’t hurt her in any way she doesn’t want.

I will be in complete control of the scene and will keep her safe while having the time of our lives. And I cannot wait.

Satisfied I have everything, I pack up the Mustang and start my drive out of the city and straight down south. I still haven’t heard from my little princess, so I decided to call her.

“Hey,” she answers. It sounds like she’s eating. “Sorry, having some dinner before tonight.” Another woman is chit chatting in the background. “Steph, I’m on the phone!” she calls out.

I chuckle, “It’s alright. Good idea to make sure you have something in your stomach before going out drinking. Where are you going exactly? Just so I know in case I can’t get a hold of you later,” I casually say.

She sighs, “I’ll be fine. Promise. No need to be worried. I won’t be drinking much anyway. I have a last-minute project to work on this weekend.”

“I’m not worried. I’m just curious. So… satisfy my curiosity.”

She lets out a little laugh, and with a full mouth, she says, “It’s the football house out by the woods.

Not too far from campus. I’ll text you the address to satisfy your curiosity.

” That last bit had a little more sass than I like, but whatever, she gave me what I wanted.

I’ll fuck that sass right out of her later tonight.

“What are you wearing tonight?” I ask impatiently.

“Mmm, I think I’ll wear a green dress with my boots. Why?” she questions.

“Because I want to know. I’m curious.” I lick my lips, thinking about her wearing a dress. Easy access. Hopefully, those boots don’t have a heel and are comfortable because she’ll regret wearing them after tonight.

I drum my fingers on the steering wheel as I hit traffic. Fuck! There’s an accident up ahead, and the GPS is predicting I’ll be there 20 minutes late. Now I won’t have time to stalk her outside of her dorm if I want to set up the motel room first.

“Are you in the car?” she asks.

“Yeah, just driving to meet some friends for a drink tonight. I’m bored without you.”

“Aww, I’m sorry. Well, maybe I can come out next weekend?”

“Sure, princess. Whatever you want. Just let me know when to pick you up.”

“Ok! Well, I’m going to finish up dinner and start getting ready. Stephanie is getting anxious, and it’s annoying.”

“Be safe tonight, princess. And let me know where you are later.”

“I will! Promise. Have fun with your friends tonight. Talk later.” And she hangs up.

The next hour drags by, and I’m eager to get to the motel.

The road cleared sooner than I expected, so I should have enough time to get to the motel and to campus before she leaves with her friend.

I bought a burner phone to text her with to play our little game.

She won’t have her computer with her, so she won’t be able to hack into it.

I arrive at the motel and check in. They gave me a room at the far end of the building.

Perfect. I bring the cooler, camera, and a few other items in and set everything up.

I position the camera off to the side of the bed to record everything I will do to Michelle tonight.

Then I change into black jeans, a hoodie, and put on a pair of black gloves before I leave for campus.

Michelle texted me the address of the football house a bit ago with promises to send me pictures so I wouldn’t be bored without her. How cute. I definitely won’t be bored tonight.

And neither will she. The campus is close to the motel, so it takes less than 10 minutes to get there and I park in the spot I found online that is directly across from her dorm building and wait.

I wait for about 15 minutes, then grow impatient. Maybe she left with her friend already? But just as I’m about to turn the car on and drive to the party, two girls walk out of the building Michelle’s dorm room is in.

One is wearing a green dress, black combat boots and glasses with her hair down. The other is wearing shorts that are too short, chucks and a sweater. It’s cool out tonight but that’s ok. When you're running through the woods, a bit of brisk air is refreshing.

I watch as the girls make their way to a dark SUV in the parking lot and snap a couple of pictures as they head out.

Michelle sent me the address, so I hang back so she doesn’t spot my car.

Not that she has any reason to suspect I’m here.

I don’t want to blow the plans I have by her seeing my car and becoming suspicious.

The football house is pretty close, but in a more remote area, almost in the woods. Perfect. I plan to lure her out in a bit so I can go hunting for her around the house. With the loud music I already hear coming from the house, no one will hear her screams.

Parking seems tricky, so I pass the driveway that leads to the house and keep driving down the street. There are only a few other homes in the area, all with long driveways, so the only cars parked on the street must be from the partygoers.

Passing them, I find the next street over and turn right. It’s dimly lit, and there are no cars here yet. I can walk into the wooded area and make my way to the football house without being spotted.

I park my car and put on my mask. I chose Ghostface for tonight since I can see easily out of it.

I wanted to use the Anubis mask, but it would fall off while running and I can’t see much out of the small eye holes it has.

The white of the Ghostface mask will stand out in the darkness of the woods and be creepy.

As I enter the darkness, I use the burner phone to send my sweet little princess a text along with the picture that I snapped earlier, then I continue walking towards the lit house.

Ghost: Want to play a game??

Michelle: Who is this?

Ghost: Ghost

Michelle: I don’t know a ‘Ghost’. Who is this?

Ghost: Come on out to find me…

I send another picture and wait in the dark.

I can see inside the house and a figure in green standing by the window, so I snap another picture and send it to her.

There are a few guys standing outside in the front smoking, drinking, and talking, but they’re too preoccupied to pay any attention to me.

My breathing deepens as I focus, but my cock is throbbing in excitement.

Michelle turns to look out the window, as she must have seen my last message.

Ghost: Come out, come out. You can’t hide all night. I’m in the woods… waiting. Always waiting.

Michelle: Who the fuck is this?

I want her to come out, so the only way to lure her is to give her a clue who I am.

Ghost: When you find me. You better run quick. Because if I catch you, the only way to get me to stop is to say RED…

Red was the safe word we discussed last weekend while talking about our kinks and fantasies. It’s her favorite color, so it would be easy for her to remember.

My personal phone vibrates in my pocket, but I ignore it. I know it’s Michelle calling me, but tonight I’m not Sean. I’m Ghost, the man who’s going to fulfill her fantasies, hunt her down, and ravage her like a fucking animal.

The front door opens and my little beauty walks out, alone. I lick my lips in anticipation and wait for her to come and find me. And when she does, the hunt is on.
