Embrace Me

Gareen
Lycosidae Daemonica
Dominatrix, Purveyor of High-Tech Voyeurism. Reasonable Rates.
Inquire Waldorf-Astoria, Victoriana Suite.
1-212-000-0666.
 

Wolf Spider High Priestess, inter-dimensional religious refugee, Gareen holds court in her sumptuously-cocooned penthouse boudoir. Manhattan appreciates reproductive subtlety.

Bob & Deesha are her best customers: loyal, generous, worshipful. Their 5-D uplinks provide first-class voyeuristic rides into Gareen's deadly faux-mating with her newly-hatched, short-lived succulent children.

"Crawl in the dark. Submit," she burbles. Older progeny peer from dark crevices: vengeful, wary eyes.

Deesha links to Gareen's caprice; he syncs to the sacrifice. Bound to desiccation, savage mistreatment, they embrace the rush, reel ecstatically: la petite mort. Sated, they depart.

"You have a little blood dripping from your left ear, honey."
