Chained in the Demon's Lair (Hellfire Circus) (4 page)

“But Francois?” Julie asked when they finally
broke lips, “Cassandra? What about them?”

The Ringmaster was silent for a moment.
“There was nothing we could have done,” he said finally, “they gave
up their lives so we could live. Cassandra, for all her faults, at
least redeemed herself before the end.”

“All we can do now is live on,” Baptiste
said, “in honor of their memory. That is what a life is, a proud
affront to death and darkness. A flickering candle that lights up a
microscopic feast. It is made to be enjoyed and then it is gone as
fast as it ever appeared.”

“For some perhaps,” the Ringmaster said,
cradling his lover in his chest as he looked out at the purple
horizon. “But some of us have mastered the art of making life last
a little longer. I’ve lived for almost three centuries my friend,
but only now am I truly free. And I intend to make the most of the
wonderful gift that has been bestowed upon me. Now at last I can be
free to realize my vision.”

“And what’s that then?” Baptiste asked with a
wry smile.

“Why, bringing pleasure and delight to those
who need it the most,” Samuel said, “to give a voice to all of the
best and most seductive sins, while banishing the worst ones from
the face of the earth. That is my mission and now there is nothing
at all that stands in my way.”

“You’re incorrigible,” Baptiste grinned.

“Yes,” Samuel agreed, “and as undefeatable as
the human spirit itself. Come, we shall return to the circus and
honor the fallen. It is all we can do for them now.”

As the three travelers set off back across
the desert, a whole universe of wonder and intrigue twinkled in the
darkness above them. This realm of existence was vast and it would
take the Ringmaster a long time to accomplish his goals. But time
was the one thing he had an abundance of. Time and the love of a
woman, who meant more to him now than all other things
combined.

Hellfire Circus Volume One

By

The travelling Hellfire Circus is an arena
where the most depraved and darkest sexual fantasies come to light,
a place where visitors can indulge in their most guarded pleasures
without fear of judgment or ridicule. But what is the true identity
of the handsome and mysterious Ringmaster and why does he seem so
unlike anyone else from this century?

This volume contains the following
stories:

Whipped by the Ringmaster.

When small town reporter Julie Sampson gets
an anonymous tape in the mail depicting a few tantalizing seconds
of the wildest, most depraved sex she’s ever heard, she knows she
won’t be able to rest until she finds out more. And when she traces
the recording back to the Hellfire Circus, a mysterious carnival
that’s just moved into town, she decides to infiltrate to track
down the source herself.

But the Hellfire Circus is no place for half
measures and the dark and mysterious Ringmaster who rules there
doesn't take kindly to trespassers. So when Julie is captured
sneaking around on his grounds, he promises that the ensuing
punishment is going to be extreme.

Training the Innocent Couple.

Mary and John Cameron share a stale marriage.
They still love each other but after ten years it just seems like
the spark has gone out. So in an attempt to reintroduce some
excitement to their lives, they decide to take a trip to the
Hellfire Circus.

But the strange and gothic carnival is more
than just a venue of entertainment. It is a place where people's
deepest darkest imaginings come true and when the mysterious
Ringmaster claims them as his own, Mary and John know that their
relationship can never be the same again. Not after their night of
disgrace at the Hellfire Circus.

Teaching his Obedient Slave.

When Julie Sampson gave up her ordinary life
to run away with the circus it was like a dream come true – Her
darkest, dirtiest dream, that is.

Because the Hellfire Circus is a carnival
like no other, it is a place of intense sexual discipline where
fantasy becomes reality and all perversions are eventually
explored. And Julie's role there is certainly unique. She is the
Ringmaster's personal slave and now he is ready to hand her over to
the rest of his team to commence the next level of her sexual
education.

The Dominatrix Takes Control.

When the Hellfire Circus breaks down on the
outskirts of Chicago city, all performances are cancelled for the
immediate future. Which means that the performers can do as they
please for the rest of the weekend – no matter how twisted and
depraved.

When the Ringmaster’s predatory and
voluptuous assistant Cassandra gets jealous of his new plaything,
she decides to head into the city to find a toy of her own – and
she intends to push him to the very limits of pleasure and
pain.
