Chapter 218: Chapter 217: True Debauchery

With his heart thudding like a bass drum during a suspenseful trailer, he cautiously stepped toward the door, and reached for the handle.

His fingers hovered for a second above the cold brass knob. Every step he’d taken up to this point had felt surreal, but this moment? This one felt final. Like crossing an invisible line he wouldn’t be able to walk back from.

He swallowed hard.

"Okay, okay... it’s just a door," he muttered to himself, trying to summon whatever shred of courage he had left. "What’s the worst it could be?"

His brain helpfully whispered: flickering candles, a pentagram on the floor and satanic rituals.

Every instinct screamed for him to turn back, but the pull of curiosity was stronger. Maybe it was the atmosphere. Maybe it was the mystery. Or maybe it was the same part of him that had followed glowing breadcrumbs down increasingly strange halls. Whatever the reason, he opened the door.

The door creaked open with theatrical reluctance, like it, too, wanted to warn him to turn around.

Instantly, a wall of heat slammed into him and a swirl of fog drifted out immediately—dense and oddly scented. The kind of fog that didn’t just look suspicious but smelled suspicious, like it had been curated by a fragrance lab that took inspiration from sins, secrets, and maybe a splash of expired cologne.

The air felt... humid. Not like a jungle, but like a high-end sauna someone had sprayed with every seductive cologne on the market. It clung to his skin—dense, fragrant, and uncomfortably warm.

Perfume. Something floral. Something spicy. Something expensive. Jasmine, sandalwood, musk.

But underneath it all, something else—something slick.

And then it hit him.

Baby oil.

Rex blinked.

"Huh...? Baby oil?"

He stepped back slightly, nose wrinkling. "What in the name of slippery scandals is going on in there..."

The light inside was dim, hazy, tinted pink and gold, shadows casting shadows that flickered with soft, sensual movement. Whatever lay beyond that door wasn’t a haunted hallway or a blood-splattered crime scene he had imagined.

No. It was something else entirely.

At first, his eyes struggled to adjust. Then the scene began to reveal itself.

It was massive, sunken, and decadently designed like some unholy lovechild of a Roman bathhouse and a high-end strip club.

The source of the fog became clear—multiple oil diffusers and steam vents set into the base of a sunken velvet lounge, which dominated the center of the room like a decadent crater. Plush cushions, silk throws, and faux-fur rugs were strewn everywhere with the kind of artistic chaos only money could arrange. A vintage chandelier overhead swayed ever so slightly, casting glittery shards of light.

And from the sound of murmurs, soft laughter, and what could only be described as wet smacking, Rex was beginning to realize—he might have just walked into something that would make the pool party look like Sunday school.

And there, in the center of it all, was pure, unapologetic debauchery.

Well, as you may have guessed, it was an orgy.

People—famous, semi-famous, and entirely unknown—were scattered like paintings come to life. Some reclined on velvet chaises, others sprawled across each other, half-covered in silk or entirely bare.

Actors he’d seen in global box-office hits were locked in slippery embraces with models who’d graced the covers of luxury fashion mags, producers known for their billion-dollar blockbusters, male models who had once been global sensations, a few socialite influencers, and—was that an Oscar-winning director in the corner? And yet, here they were, writhing alongside oil-slicked strangers like anonymous pieces in a decadent art installation.

And of course, old men—billionaires with bellies and blood pressure problems—lounged with expressions of smug satisfaction, flanked by women half their age and twice their desperation. Some had their hands full—of breasts, of thighs, of champagne flutes.

A few participants wore costumes—masks, feathered accessories, strange robes with nothing underneath. One woman in particular, draped in nothing but golden chains and high heels, danced slowly atop a marble pedestal as if part of a living exhibit. Every move felt deliberate. Every moan was muted under the slow pulse of downtempo music and the sound of gentle laughter.

Men. Women. Everything in between. Age didn’t matter. Gender didn’t matter. Decency had clearly taken the night off.

There were trays of drugs everywhere. Not tucked away discreetly—no. Spread out like hors d’oeuvres on crystal platters: lines of white powder arranged with precision, gummy bears that definitely weren’t candy, vials of glowing liquids, and pills in a rainbow so vibrant it put Pride Month to shame.

A topless woman was perched on a man’s lap, licking something sugary from his collarbone. Another man, stark naked except for a dog collar and diamond cuffs, crawled on all fours beside a pair of high-heeled women feeding him strawberries. A well-known action star moaned as someone drizzled baby oil down his chiseled back, then straddled him like a bronco.

Baby oil wasn’t just a subtle addition—it was a dominant element. The scent hung heavy in the air, the bottles were everywhere—on side tables, in hands, on the floor. Limbs glistened in the low light, so slick and shiny that Rex couldn’t tell where one person ended and the next began. Skin slid against skin in glacial movements, not frantic or wild, but purposeful. Slippery limbs intertwined with a casualness that made Rex’s brain blue-screen. Everything was slow, like a scene choreographed for a perfume commercial that had lost its way and taken a turn into madness.

A woman with cascading red hair giggled as an elderly man poured champagne over her bare chest, licking it off to the cheers of a nearby group. On one of the upper tiers, a heavily tattooed actor he vaguely recognized was lying on his back while three women traced patterns across his torso with glitter and whipped cream. Near them, a famous singer lay nestled between two muscular young men, sipping wine from a goblet shaped like a skull. The man beside her wore a rabbit mask and nothing else.
