Chapter 1: Chapter 1
"I need you, Starlette," the voice of her boss, Sir Richard, said as he entered her dungeon.
"In a case that has baffled the police for months, a body has been found in the woods. The cause of death is unknown, but the marks of the predator are unmistakable. The creature that killed him is one that no one has ever seen before. The only evidence we have is the mark of the red hand imprinted on his buttock."
She looked up from her paperwork, which she had been filling out since her last appointment with Sir Richard, to meet his gaze. Her eyes narrowed. He was wearing his usual suit, with a red handkerchief peeking out from his breast pocket. His hair was neatly combed, as always, and he had a smile on his face.
"Have you ever seen a creature like that, Starlette, one who would leave the markings of their very own fingertips on their victim's behind?" he asked breathlessly.
Her head swivelled to look at the man peering down at her from across the desk. Her cheeks reddened.
"No, Sir Richard. I have never seen anything like that in my life."
He reached across the desk to stroke her cheek with the back of his finger.
He leaned in and sniffed her hair, eyes closed and all-consuming. His finger slid slowly along her lower lip before parting them and reaching the very tip of her tongue. Removing his finger from her lips, he brought it to his own, savouring the sweet taste of her saliva on his over-sensitive taste buds.
Starlette shivered. He was making her nerves feel like they were on fire. She had been trained well. Her job was to please him, and she did her best to give him what he wanted without question. This was her life, and she was happy with it, even if her boss was a bit of a pervert.
