Page 146 of Bride By Initiation

Byrne says, "It's yours now."

"Thank you."

"Now, before you go in there, you need to know something."

"What's that?" I ask.

"There's a ceremony going on."

"If my wife?—"

"Enough!" he barks, his cheeks flaring maroon.

I shut my mouth.

"The ceremony is not for your wife. She's merely watching it. If you go in there, you cannot get involved in the ceremony. Do you understand?"

I nod. "Yes, of course."

"Okay, now you may move freely about and do what you want, but do not interrupt the Ceremony of the Binding of Flesh."

"Binding of flesh?"

"Yes. You'll soon understand."

"Are they burning everybody?" I question.

He chuckles. "Not quite, but it's probably going to be pretty hot in there." He winks.

Confusion fills me. All I know is I want to get inside and make sure my wife is safe.

He pats me on the shoulder. "All right, lad, have a good evening. Anytime you're ready to leave, just come right back through this door. The plane will take you home."

"Okay, thank you." I open the door and step through it.

Byrne shuts it quickly. It takes me a minute to realize what I'm seeing.

Erotic sounds fill the air. Men grunt, and a woman cries out incoherent sounds.

The hairs on my neck rise.

Jesus, it's an orgy.

No, it's a gang bang.

One, two, three, four, five, six…fucking hell, there's seven of them.

The woman looks exhausted, yet not in a bad way. Her flushed face burns bright. The bed's soaked, and she's currently cuffed to a headboard with her ass in the air.

Two men push inside her. One's underneath her, and the other is behind her. A third stands next to her, holding her head to the side and thrusting his cock in her mouth.

Four other men stand beside them, rubbing themselves and waiting their turn.

I panic, looking around until I see Zara.

She's sitting in a movie theater chair, leaning forward and intently watching the scene. Her face is slightly flushed, and her chest is rising and falling in short bursts.

I rush over to her and kneel beside the chair, putting my hand on hers.
