Bullseye! (Patreon)

Riley's fingers were close to driving her over the edge, the sight of the listless silver-clad diver she had just chummed was more than enough to coax a low rush of bubbles from the rim of her mouthpiece. The moan that had caused them died in her throat, unheard.

Before her climax hit, however, something heavy punched her in the gut. An almost painless experience at first as her closed eyes scrunched closed more tightly, the feeling of pressure soon exploded into a torrent of pain. Her belly had been pierced! She'd been hit! Her eyes widened then, the initial shock leaving her strangely calm enough to look down at the shaft jutting up directly from her bellybutton.

A bullseye.

They'd scored a bullseye on her!

The shock dissipated, and the pain that was washing through her body overrode everything. A shriek ripped from her, more bubbles rushing towards the surface as her lungs tried desperately to push harder than the water rushing to fill her mouth. The garbled glubs and blubs, with the muffled pressure of the sound, were all that the other divers heard. And none stopped to listen for long, pushing past another chummed comrade as they drew closer to their targets.

Her hand gripped at the steel shaft as blood began to mist around it, billowing out as her legs kicked out and her body writhed in the water. There was no escape, no rescue....

She was more chum.

And despite it, all she could feel was the burning humiliation that they'd tagged her so perfectly in the belly. That was the thought that clung to her brain even as her lungs filled with water.
