Author's Notes

"Raymond Archer's slow seduction of Christian youth worker Neely Jordan has reached its zenith in a night of slow-burning, increasingly naked passion. <p> [ADVERT] </p>Now Neely is ready to give herself to him entirely, unaware of the game he's been playing..."

Ray walked Neely in reverse, keeping hold, till her calves bumped the bed. Then he was guiding her down onto the covers with his frame still tight to hers, easing her fully onto the bed while staying close on top, the trunk of his body between her parted legs. This was it—the roller coaster car had clack-clack-clacked its tortuous crawl, rising vertiginously high, till it hung on the brink, ready to make that first almighty plunge. Ray’s body hovered above her, his gaze locked fast into hers, one hand reaching down, steering himself to where her aching sex awaited. So sinful, so wrong, wasn’t it? Or had Danny been right? What she did with her sexuality was her choice …

“This might hurt a little at first,” Ray told her, and despite all her flustered thoughts, she felt an impulse to reassure.

“It’s okay, I … There was an … incident … with a tampon when I was a teen …” Why the hell she had a need to divulge that embarrassing morsel, she was not sure. Broken hymen aside, there was the not inconsequential fact of his being so damn big, while she was so untried. Oh God … Oh God, be gentle … Don’t bloody say that, it’s such a cliché … She reached up with one hand and clutched his arm.

“You’re beautiful, Neely Jordan.”

The lips of her sex yielded, and Ray’s cock popped inside her, making her gasp at the sheer sensation of being entered. He did not stop, guiding his thick shaft on a slow but relentless exploration inside her. Neely released a stifled, breathy cry as Ray’s cock stretched her; his robust upper body descended onto her slimness as he penetrated, inch by mind-blowing, virginity-spearing inch. She could have given her pussy its first filling with her sex-toy weeks ago, but this was the proper way, scary and delicious, however sore, however sinful—with a strong, athletic man on the other end, capable of powering his way forcefully inside her should he choose. If you were going to defy your God and all you believed, you should at least do it honestly, with a beautiful muscular guy sliding his ‘throbbing man-rod’ inside your tight gripping cunt right to the base, making you cry out in pain and wonder.

“Ohhh, so good …” The words were Ray’s, his cock burying itself deep as his body sank onto hers. He was heavy on top and huge within her, his dick stretching out her poor vulnerable pussy like she could never have imagined for all her reading. His hands slid around her and held her to him, as they connected. “God, I’ve wanted this,” he groaned to her. She gripped his flexing shoulders in return, imploring help and succour from the same man whose erection was thrust so far inside her. He clutched her, pectorals pressing down on her breasts, cock at an embedded halt. His breath was warm on her face. “You okay, sweetheart?”

“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah …” She wasn’t sure whether she really was. He was there between her legs, manhood fitted tight at last. Both the thought and the sensation overwhelmed her. Her breathless affirmation, however, seemed enough for him. His knees became a fulcrum, digging into the bed, as he pushed himself onto her, commencing to ease his cock back and forth. He slid now in regular motion against her tight inner walls, the wet friction accentuating the sense of his cock’s massive presence, making her aware of her sex’s tender recesses as never before. The soft fleshy core of her girlhood was being ripped through, broken hymen or no, by the great siege-weapon she had allowed inside. Each time the head searched and probed, she whimpered and squeezed tears from her eyes, tightening her hold on him, taking comfort in the kisses with which he peppered the side of her face.

“So beautiful. So tight inside you, darling.” She loved the words and the animal tenderness with which they were spoken. Excitement began to overtake both trepidation and discomfort. She welcomed him, and the industry of his hard shaft within her. Ray’s thrusting grew steadily in momentum, pelvis working harder, cock driving into her with smooth insistence. She was opening up, her once-chaste chute finding space to accommodate all his length and girth—another miracle of nature—before contracting around him, clutching him in a hot wet embrace. His chest moved on hers, firm muscle skimming hard nipples, face hovering above, a mask of erotic intensity. Concern for her warred so clearly with desire and she felt a similar conflict within herself; she wanted him to take the pleasure so long denied him but feared the full expression of his lust. “You okay, sweetheart? You like me deep inside you like this?” His voice was constricted with passion, yet still playful. The effect was irresistible.

“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm …” She closed her eyes as she responded and bit her lip, knowing it would only urge him to greater efforts. Instantly he surged, forcing a scream from her lungs as his cock drove deeper, harder than before. He sustained the increased level of thrusting, body shunting above her, man-rod stroking into her fluidly so that she cried out on each penetrating dive. Searing, sharp and masterful—a kind of glorious agony. This was it, virginity torpedoed. Her boyfriend had claimed it and now he was driving the victory home. He’s fucking me, he’s fucking me, oh Lord, oh God, I’m being so, so FUCKED …

To mitigate his more rigorous efforts, Ray prised his upper body off her, brushing back her hair and stroking her face, all the while maintaining those full thrusts. “God, Neely, that feels so good. You’re so amazing, so fucking hot.” Her hand shot up instinctively and clutched his hair for additional contact, some intimate physical response to all he was doing. He took it as validation and fucked her even more stridently, filling up her cunt with every lunge of his cock, making her cry out more with passion now than pain. “Look at me,” he told her, as her head lolled. “Look at me, Neely.” His words brought her back into focus and she stared at him, the azure blue of his eyes burning into her as he delivered his strokes.

It was scary, but hell it was amazing too. Fuck Space Mountain, this was the ride of her life. A terrible, sinful betrayal, but at least it was bloody awesome. Giving herself to her boy, offering herself up completely, letting him plunge that great shaft inside her wetness like happened in the story. Only she was no Sapphire. She had a guy to whom it was worth giving yourself, worth opening yourself.

That was what she was doing now, legs rising and folding about Ray’s moving ass before her conscious mind knew it. Whether she’d picked it up from Odyssey or made the move through sheer instinct was not clear to her. All she knew was that she had stretched wide for her lover, giving herself to him and her own body’s neglected desires. Ray gripped thick strands of her hair, even as she gripped his, and took full advantage of her spread thighs, ramming himself to her depths. “God, Neely, fuck! Oh my God, don’t take your eyes off me.”

She didn’t, staring into his sweating visage, absorbing the rage of his lust and loving how it was fused with affection however hard he fucked. “Oh God, Ray, oh God …” It was blasphemy, but that only proved how insanely sweet this was. Taking all of him—heart, soul, and rigid cock. The pain was giving way completely, as she accepted her shafting, to a sense of being erotically, emotionally overpowered. Ray hadn’t been right for her, not by a stretch, but he had wrested her body and affection to himself. This beautiful, wicked guy deserved her and he could have her any way he wanted. The clutch of her heels to his ass and the squelch of her cunt around that pumping shaft were testimony to her surrender.

Neely might have given vent to her inner hysteria, had the breath not been so persistently knocked from her body by the impact of Ray’s. She finally released a crazed giggle when her lover scrabbled to the bottom of the bed hauling her along with him, never once losing the tight connection of their sexes. “Oh my, oh God, what are you doing?” He dragged her to the edge, then his feet found the carpet and he hoisted her ass free of the bed, recommencing his hard fuck-action from standing.

“I want you to see it, Neely Jordan.” His face was drenched in perspiration like he was dripping lust. “I want you to see my cock pumping in and out of you. Look, darling.”

What else could she do but stare past her oscillating tits the length of her slim body, to where that thickness, that great man-length was sliding wet from inside her only to vanish again, swallowed up to the hilt in her accepting sheath? Oh God … To see it as she felt it, so big inside her—that huge, greased rod pistoning into her tight saved-up hole, on the end of such a prime sweating specimen of maleness. Wrong, wicked and extravagantly, gloriously lewd. Not two hours earlier she had been chatting chastity with the youth-group teens, playing up her role—Alton Bridge’s poster girl for virtue. If they could see her now, stripped naked and spread apart, getting her pussy reamed out by her boyfriend’s big dick … The thought should have made her squirm with shame, so why did it serve as accelerant to her already blazing lust? Her hand was stretching to frig herself even before Ray’s instruction: “Go on, sweetheart, get yourself off. Let me see you do it.”

Neely’s sex was fully flowered, clitoris jutting like a wet fig, eager for the touch of her fingers. She worked herself frantically from the off, hot nub singing under her touch. The brakes were off. She was beyond shame, beyond the religion’s restraints. This inner fire was no way holy—under its devilish influence her body was a sweat-slick expanse of taut responsive flesh, nipples so spiked she massaged them once more to relieve the pressure. Her pelvis was buffer to every smacking impact of Ray’s loins, cunt absorbing each cramming stroke. She needed release like salvation; her fingertips spun frenzied on her pulsing button to speed her there.

“Come for me, Neely,” he urged. “Come all over my cock.” It was an easy step, the final seal of their intimacy. How marvellous that her inhibitions had melted to nothing, that passion had sundered every mental barrier, so that she could do this—come screaming, cunt-muscles spasming fiercely around Ray’s protected cock and washing him in her hot secretions. She was out of her head, orgasm exploding through her so that she thrashed on the bed like her lover was shaking her out. The babble from her throat was an exorcism of desire from her body. Fuck, oh sweet fuck … She was incapable of forming the words, but they sure as hell echoed in her head.

Her body was sizzling in the aftermath when Ray reached under her ass and scooped her to him, so she had to tighten trembling legs about his standing form. He clutched her back and she wrapped arms around the bulk of his shoulders, hanging still and sweating on him, his unspent cock huge within her. Her pussy, she realised, was leaking copiously, no doubt drenching his balls and upper thighs. She buried her face in his neck. How unexpected and beautiful, how tender and totally hot, to be cradled in her post-coital state. She could sense it was a brief hiatus before her partner fulfilled his own need, but she cherished every moment of sweet stillness.

“So fucking sexy, it’s insane.” His voice was hoarse with unexpended lust. “I had no idea. No fucking idea.”

Neely had no time to dwell on his meaning before he dropped her back onto his bed, still on top and tightly slotted. She clung hard, bracing herself for all he had to give. Ray withdrew every inch but one and slammed back in with a near-possessed fury. It was prelude to a bout of urgent fucking, his face registering something beyond sexual desire. Not that she could focus now—head rolling on the covers, moans issuing freely from her mouth—as he thrust into her orgasm-raddled body. Vaguely she wondered how much abuse a condom could be expected to take. Through her haze, she sensed his desperation, all thoughts of proving his stud credentials displaced by a craving for release. His words confirmed it: “Oh God, Neely, I want to come, I need to fucking come inside you …” He ploughed his way towards that happy conclusion.

“Oh God, oh fuck, Jesus …” Not the prayer she might have hoped to hear earlier that summer, but somehow, she welcomed it. “Oh God, Neely …” He gripped her fit to crush the air from her lungs, then exploded into orgasm. His body went rigid as he pumped his load, contained she could but hope by the rubber. Whatever her fears, she joyed to glimpse her love’s face transfixed by agonised ecstasy. His climax paralysed him some seconds more, then it subsided, as did his body onto hers.

“God …” His arms pressed into the cover, so he rested lightly on her, the two of them panting and perspiring quietly together. “Oh God …”  Neely wondered about God’s precise opinion on her current state, but the continued presence of Ray’s cock inside her became a more pressing concern. He recovered and set about extricating himself, gripping the condom carefully at the base of his shaft before withdrawal. Neely moaned and ached at the sensation of his slow departure from her pussy; she had never thought of it before as empty until his cock left it so. He rolled off her and she watched with bleared curiosity as he snapped the prophylactic from his flagging member, its end ballooning with the thick white fluid he had dispelled into it. “Let me get rid of this, sweetheart.”

She watched his departure from the room, admiring that sculpted ass through the delirium induced by her deflowering. ‘Deflowering’ what a quaint term. How pretty and medieval. Better than some of the euphemisms church-types tended to use. ‘Defiled’, ‘soiled’, ‘impure’ she was sure Jack Simmons had resorted to all of those. What have you done, Neely? How could you? You’ve sacrificed your purity! Even by Evangelical standards, he was old-fashioned. Of course, it wasn’t the pastor who chiefly worried her.

What did God think of his servant in her newly fucked state? She hoped Danny was right, that getting it on with your boyfriend was a paltry matter in the grand scheme. Neely wanted to feel that, but shame was creeping back as euphoria departed. She needed Ray back with her. She needed her man’s hard body and tender caress to distract from the sense of treachery. Awaiting him she slipped under the covers and huddled.

“Hey.” He was standing in the doorway, naked and gorgeous, a filled champagne flute in each hand. “How’re you doing, Neely J?”

“Happy you’re here.” She smiled, the melancholy easing as he joined her beneath the covers. They sat up and sipped together, and she did not mind that the sheet slipped free of her breasts. Hardly much point in modesty now. “Are we drinking to us again?” she asked, leaning her chin on his shoulder.

“Nothing I’d rather drink to.” He stroked her face as he studied her. “Not in this world.”

She beamed, imagining them properly united, sharing everything from living-space to the deepest secrets of each other’s heart, in the sanctifying bonds of marriage. Ray would never be a regular churchman—that’d be too weird anyhow. But maybe he’d find his path to a faith he could express in his own way, in keeping with his politics and his journalism. He was principled, however much he condemned himself. And that would increase. Her love would strengthen his moral compass and then they’d make a life together. She’d still be a church-worker and God would forgive any sexual misdemeanour that had kicked things off. They’d forge something special and have lots of sex like the sex they’d just had. The sex I’ve just had. Me, Neely Jordan …

She kissed Ray long and deep. He reciprocated with a sexy tenderness that made everything seem right. Then they hugged and were silent together as he stroked her hair. Champagne and the aftermath of passion and the end of an emotionally wringing day combined in fatigue and she slumped against his chest, till he laid her into his bed. She was falling asleep in her lover’s bed. How unutterably delicious.

“That’s it, darling.” His voice caressed her along with his palm. “Go to sleep. Because the sooner you do, the sooner you’ll wake up … and then I can make love to you all over again.”

Make love to me … That’s what he had done, gently then wildly, but all with love. Love that she’d shared with him. That she would continue to share, on and on for a long, long time …

Neely awoke, she had no idea how much later, from dreams of guilty lust and the love which might redeem it. Her pussy throbbed sore, and the bed was empty. She ran a hand over the crumpled sheets for a hazy moment, before realising that her lover was hardly likely to flee from her when she was in his bed. The candles about the room had been blown out, but the bedside lamp still cast its golden-yellow glow across her. She was lying with the bedclothes about her waist, breasts still uncovered. For a moment she wondered whether Ray’s eyes had lingered on her naked skin while she lay sleeping. She hoped they had but wondered also whether he had not thought to cover her up before leaving the room.

To use the bathroom? She assumed so, but when he had not returned some minutes later, she began to doubt it. When several further lonely minutes had passed, she guessed at the kitchen and a late-night snack; his sexual exertions had been strenuous after all. She left it a couple more and could bear it no longer. An innocent girl freshly fucked needed her virginity’s owner there beside her. She would find out where he was and what might have drawn him from his girlfriend’s warmth.

But she would do it with sexy cunning, and allure, so as not to betray her need for reassurance. However great that was, however justified, ‘needy’ was not something she wanted him to see. Standing up she tugged the sheet from the bed and wrapped it around herself above her breasts. Despite the dull pain between her thighs, Neely slipped silently from the room to seek out her man.

The only light in the hallway leaked pale from under the door on her left—Ray’s study, she recalled, where he wrote up all his copy. That was the answer. She’d sprung her visit on him and he must have had insufficient time to write up his article on Bristol locals serving in Afghanistan. Rather than make her feel uncomfortable he’d waited till she was asleep, then slipped discreetly out of bed to meet his deadline. How sweet of him. She almost tip-toed back to bed so as not to disturb but could not resist looking in on her lover-man, draped only in the sheet. Maybe she could let it slip a few inches, give him the merest flash of nipple before leaving him to struggle with his words, the naughty image playing in his mind. The door was lying slightly ajar and she pushed it open in a smooth motion so as not to alert him. Hoping to spring her sexy surprise.

Ray was sitting at his desk, back turned, at the opposite side of the room. He was illumined by the computer screen, intent at his work. A tall, angled lamp cast further light on his task. Neely padded up behind him as lightly as she could, arms folded across her front, gleeful that he was unaware. She hoped he wouldn’t be too startled when she jumped him, but surely he would forgive his gorgeous flaming-redhead. Like the redhead she could see over his shoulder gracing the screen. A recumbent naked redhead, hair splayed over a dark-navy pillow, sheet crumpled around her middle so that her pale smooth breasts were on display as she slept. Neely’s brain seized with a shock that shivered its way across her whole anatomy.

She was staring at an image of herself.

It seemed so unlikely, so fundamentally wrong, that for an instant she failed to register the truth. As though Ray was bizarrely searching out Neely lookalikes on the internet to distract himself from late-night work. But it was most certainly her, however exotic and unlike herself she appeared. Her boyfriend’s digital camera lay on the table, plugged into the USB port. Having been snapped and uploaded, Neely watched in hollow-stomached silence as he saved her in a photo file, still oblivious to the real girl’s hovering presence. He opened up his email account and she looked on, cold with disbelief, as he typed: Carlotta−Here’s your evidence. Satisfied? Ray.

“Who’s Carlotta?” The words escaped her lips as from an automaton before he could carry out the attachment.

“Shit!” Ray leaped from his office chair with such force that it skated a foot across the carpet. “Neely …” She could see it in his face, a rapid panicked assessment of how much damage had been done. “You scared the crap out of me.”

“Who’s Carlotta?”

“She works for the Tribune. She’s been doing some research for me on a story. I had to get some facts and figures to her for morning.” He lied so easily. So instantly.

“Then why are you sending her my photograph?”

“I’m not sending …”

“Yes you are. Ray, why have you taken that picture of me? What’s going on?” Hard on the heels of shock and confusion was coming anger.

“Neely, I … I …”

“What’s going on, Ray? Why the hell are you taking pictures of me naked in your bed? Sending them to some stranger?” The sense of violation was making her sick. She clutched the sheet tight to her chest and tried to reign in the trembling which threatened to overtake her. “What is this, Ray? Tell me!”

“It’s … It’s …” Not as bad as it looks? Not what it seems? Even Ray didn’t have the nerve to attempt such lines in the circumstance. The normally unflappable male seemed confounded. “I shouldn’t have done it. I shouldn’t have done this, Neely. It was a game. It started as a game, but …”

“A game?” The word didn’t make sense to Neely in this context. “What do you mean? What are you talking about, Ray? I’m your girlfriend! You’ve… You’ve been playing a game with me?” The thought made her head spin. It made her physically sick. “With … With her? With me as …”

“I should have stopped it. I meant to. Tried to. I’ll delete the picture. I’ll do it now.” She watched in mortified silence as his fingers stumbled about the keyboard, bringing up the offending picture and erasing it.

“Give me the camera.” He looked around at her, rattled and off-balance. “Give me the damn camera, Ray!”

“Yes, of course.” He reached to unplug but she beat him to it, grabbing the device in one hand and yanking it free of the USB cable. “Neely …” He turned to her, hands outstretched in attempted appeasement. “I was finishing something, ending it. A stupid arrangement. Something that should never have happened in the first place. But it meant nothing. It means nothing.”

He reached to her, but she recoiled in disgust at the touch of his hand, backing off from the stranger who had fucked her. “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me, Ray. Get away from me!” Gripping camera and sheet, she fled to the bedroom and frantically searched for discarded clothes. No time to break down, no time to rage—not with him there. She had to get out, get away from this lying sick bastard and whatever he was trying to do to her. Underwear she grabbed from the floor, struggling into the sodden scrap of her knickers and her pretty bra while still endeavouring to keep the sheet wrapped about her. Nakedness she could no longer bear. She struggled into the dress and grabbed her shoes one-handed. Then she hurried, past Ray who stood dumbstruck on the landing, downstairs to the living-room to put the light on, find her bag and phone, arrange getting away from this backdrop to betrayal and shame.

“Hello? Hello, I need a cab. Forty-four Alma Parade, Clifton. Now. Right away, please. Jordan. Neely Jordan.” She snapped the phone shut and shoved it into her bag along with the camera. As she wriggled into her sandals, she prayed that the taxi would be no more than the few minutes the operator had promised and hoped that her prayers still got priority. After the thing she had done. The terrible, stupid mistake she had made with this seducing devil.

“Neely …” He was standing in the doorway to the living-room, angling for a way back into her attention.

“Leave me alone.” She perched on an armchair, clutching her knees and her bag to stop herself from shaking. “Go back upstairs until I’m gone. Do that much for me.”

He persisted in his attempt, venturing in and crouching down before her in an attitude of penitence. “Neely, I can’t even explain, it’s so fucking ridiculous.”  She curled up tighter, horrified by his proximity, resistant to any appeal. “She’s someone I met years back—Carlotta—she doesn’t even live in the UK. I haven’t seen her in forever. It’s a game, I know how horrible that sounds, it is horrible, some stupid fucked-up game we had, long before you. And … And I should have stopped it as soon as I started to get to know you, but I didn’t. And now it’s backfired, it’s fucking blown up in my face. Because you and I, we’re not a game. Whatever you think right now, we’re not that, I swear to you. I started off that way, I was playing you, I admit it. But not now. Not anymore. Not for … a … a while now. You’ve got to believe me. Okay, you don’t have to believe me, you’ve absolutely no reason to now, but it’s still true.” Words, words, words, pouring out of his mouth like spew.

“You had sex with me.” His wild thrusting inside her, oh God …  She could hardly speak, so constricted was her voice with emotion. “Then you took a photo and tried to send it to … to this person. You were ready to put a naked picture of me out there. For God knows who to see. Because I was a …” Her voice shook. “… A big prize, I suppose. A Christian, right? Let’s see if I can bed the Christian girl. Get her to … Oh God, I’m such a fool!” She welled up and bit her lip, looking away. “That’s why you had me there, in your bed. You played me right to the last, don’t even try to deny it.”

“I know how it looks, Neely, I know that, but …”

He sounded wretched, but she did not care. When he reached for her again, she shied away, clambering from the armchair. “Keep away from me, Ray. You make me sick!” The taxi honked, its arrival prompter than she had dared hope, and she ran for the door.

“Neely …” Ray was in pursuit, unrecognisable in his desperation from the suave guy she had known. Had thought she knew. “Neely, I don’t want you to go. I want to talk about this.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.” She did not even look back as she wrenched open the front door.

“Neely ...” He caught her, dragging almost frantically on her arm. “Neely, please don’t do this. Please … Neely, I think I’m in love with you.”

She swung around, arrested by the words, and stared into his face. He looked impassioned, distraught. He’d looked a lot of things that summer, all of them convincing. “You think? You think you’re in love with me? Last night you knew for sure. You said it. You couldn’t imagine yourself with anyone else, you were planning our future together. Anything to get yourself inside my knickers …and now you think?” Grief derailed her and she had to dig her nails into her palms to stop herself from crying in front of him. “Screw you, Raymond Archer! Screw you.” Starting to dissolve, she spun around and marched under sodium street light to the waiting taxi, hoping she would never lay eyes on him again. “Nineteen, Stapleton Road,” she managed to blurt out to the driver through her tears. The cab pulled away from the kerb, and she did not look to see if Ray was still watching.

In the back of the cab she choked back further tears, tried to hold it in for the journey’s duration. She had to get back, that was all. Get home, shut herself away from everything. From the dawn light that would soon shine on stupid sluts who got taken in by … by … She threw back her head on the car seat and breathed steadily to retain her calm, the sensation in her pussy a throbbing rebuke.

“Whoever he is, love, he’s not worth it,” the driver said, as the taxi pulled up at her door and she thrust a note into his hand.

She couldn’t respond. She fled the car and rushed to her door, scrabbling in her bag for the door-key. I know he’s not. I know. But I thought he was. I thought he was. The phrase pursued her as she shut the door and ran down the hallway, starting to weep. She made it to her room and collapsed onto the bed. Sorrow overtook her, sobs racking her body.

Somewhere in her mind had been the thought not to wake Jasmine; she had jammed her face into the pillow to stifle her anguish, but to no avail. Perhaps her friend had already been awake. “Neely?” She looked up to see her roommate in the doorway. “Neely what’s happened?” If ever Neely had needed her concern, it was now. She stared in tearful appeal. Jasmine rushed across the room to her and flung her arms around her friend.

“There, babe, there …” Jasmine stroked her hair, cooed into her ear, let her cry it out. “You poor, poor dear. It’s okay, it’s okay. What happened? What went wrong?”

Neely could hardly catch her breath amid her rib-aching sobs to tell. When she finally managed, it was through a mess of tears and snot she didn’t care to stifle. “I caught him with a photograph. Of me. He was sending it to some … some girl. I don’t know who. It was a game. A joke, all of it. He wanted proof he’d … he’d shagged me I suppose. He left the bed we were in to do it.”

Jasmine looked stricken and appalled. “God, Neely, that’s horrible. I’m so, so sorry. I can’t believe he’d do that.”

“Neither can I. He said it had been a game but that it had changed. That it wasn’t any more. Tried to make out he had feelings for me, despite it all, as if he hadn’t spent weeks on end lying to me. Lying to me, Jaz, with every word he spoke and then telling me he’d started to care after all.” She paused, remembering the horror on Ray’s face when she had discovered him. When he had pleaded with her. “What do you think?” She looked to Jasmine, wondering if she could salvage some scrap of consolation from the mess. “You think that’s possible? He stayed caught up in whatever game he was playing, but he’d started to care even so?” Even if it were true, it left Ray a pathetic shadow of what she’d thought him to be, but it would be something to cling to. “What do you think? Jasmine?”

Jasmine cast her eyes down, unable to meet Neely’s stare. Tears were rolling from Jasmine’s eyes as well. She disengaged her hands from Neely’s and clutched them together, sitting on the bed’s edge with shoulders hunched and head bowed, calming herself in preparation. Something about her demeanour recalled the way she had behaved the evening past and made Neely shudder.

“There’s something I need to tell you.” Jasmine’s voice was full with pent-up sorrow. “Something I should have told you sooner.” Terrible sadness crowded in once more on Neely. She knew before another word was spoken, that the pieces of her shattered heart were about to be ground a little finer.

When Neely was fifteen, her Nanna had passed away—her dad’s mother, the grandparent she had loved the most, with whom she had baked and done needlework and laughed at old movies. She'd ached those first few days, had been inconsolable until she realised she had to be strong for her dad. So she'd shored herself up and taken consolation in the rest of her family. Become the one he leaned on and learned the benefit of sharing sorrow.

But this new grief was all her own, and a multiple one at that. Her vision of Ray, her self-respect as a Christian and a woman, her trust in those around her … The last of those was shot to pieces for sure—first boyfriend, then roommate. All these burdens she alone must carry. She cried off work at Lemongrass, literally, and retreated under her duvet into an embryonic curl.

When, finally, she dragged herself into daylight it was to get the camera and delete the offending image. But then she found all else in the camera—the dates they had been on, to Clifton Downs and Wales and dinner in town, pristine memories shat all over by Ray’s treachery. She flung the camera across her room, before picking it up again and erasing every image, starting with the nude one. The sight of Ray’s gifts was sickening her as well. Jewellery box and massage oils she tossed in the kitchen bin, tying the sack, and chucking it out back. The Lewis Carroll hard-backs she could not bring herself to jettison, but neither could she look at them. The boxset she shoved underneath her bed out-of-sight along with Odyssey of Lust. She’d sell it on E-bay or give it to her niece when she could stand to lay eyes on it again.

Grief and horror drove her frantic and early afternoon she cast about for anyone she could talk to. Love her mum though she did, there was too much Anglican primness about Mary Jordan to make that type of mother-daughter chat an option. As for her dad, he could never countenance the idea of his princess being popped in such a tawdry fashion. She called Layla but found her away from both landline and mobile. Who knew when juggling of work and family would allow her sister to check her voicemail? Neely left a brief and sorrowful “Call me when you can” and hoped it wouldn’t be long.

When half an hour brought no response and the taunting thoughts rolled in once more—most of them involving nakedness and the throb of Ray’s dick—she cast around for other options. Her church friends? Not likely. Jonas … Maybe in the past, now way too embarrassing. Leo was incommunicado on a Cornish holiday with Graham, she recalled. Eventually she phoned Danny, twice, but terminated both calls after a few rings, despairing of what she would say. Hi Danny … Remember that guy I was hot for? Well he shagged me and sent out pictures. She sat instead at the kitchen table, mournful with a Chamomile tea, staring at her phone.

When it rang, she assumed her sister, then recoiled as from a rattlesnake when she saw Ray’s name flashing on the read-out. Neely grabbed the phone and cut the call dead, slapping her mobile back on the table and rushing to the sink. She clutched cold metal and wept her rage. A text message buzzed its arrival and she rushed to delete it. She felt like crushing the phone to its component pieces, but restrained herself, the possibility of some other human contact too urgent a need. She retreated to bed and hugged herself, wary eyes fixed on the mobile where it lay beside her.

Minutes later it sounded and set her heart pumping. Not content with his debauching, was Ray going to torment her all damn day? She seized the plaguing device, ready now to switch it off. Then she saw Danny’s name and answered like she was grabbing a lifeline. “Hello?”

“Hi, I’ve been left several non-messages by a certain Neely Jordan.”

“Yeah, that’d be me.” Relief washed through her at the sound of his voice.

“What’s up with you, girl? Everything okay?”

“No, Danny, no, it’s not. Not okay at all.”

“I’m sorry. It’s the guy, right? The one you told me about. Things haven’t worked out?”

“No, they haven’t.” The presence of a sympathetic listener was making her cave. “It’s all gone wrong, Danny, it’s all gone really, really wrong.” She seized with emotion for a moment, and he waited patiently till she recovered enough to go on. “I went around to his place last night and … and …”

“Neely, did he hurt you?” The suspicion in Danny’s voice halted her sobs. “Did he lay a finger on you that you didn’t want? Because if he did …”

“No no no.” She rushed to assure him. His anger on her behalf was quite gratifying, making her feel slightly better. “No, nothing I didn’t want. Nothing I didn’t ask for.” How cheap and used did that confession make her feel? “I thought he really liked me and … and I was wrong. Way off. Sorry, Danny, I didn’t know who else to talk to.”

“Am I always the last person on your list?”

“No, no, I don’t mean it like that!” She knew he was joking, but turned apologetic, nonetheless. “But you hardly know me, and I hate that I keep dumping all my crap on you.”

“Dump away. I’m flattered you feel you can. Look, I’m up to my eyebrows in work right now, but I can come around after. You stick the kettle on, and I’ll bring a packet of Chocolate Hobnobs. If you’d like.”

Now her tears were of gratitude. A whole day alone might have driven her to insanity. She needed someone able to understand. “Yes, I’d like. I’d really like. Let me give you my address.”

It made the next few hours more manageable. There was the pacing, the fretting, the intermittent tears, all with lots of self-condemnation. Then she stared beyond a flickering TV screen for a while. At least now she had the thought to cling to of some company. She managed to shower and freshen up, thoughts of primping for Ray overtaking her at the bathroom mirror. The memory of that glorious plundering cock had turned to one of violation and she disintegrated again. When Danny buzzed, she was trying vainly to dam up her eyes’ leaking reservoir once more.

Not the brave face she had planned. There was no disguising her distress as she opened the door. Danny was hardly over the threshold before she found herself clinging to his tall, mildly dishevelled form, crying into his denim shirt in a protracted bout of misery. Danny held her unperturbed, letting her weep herself empty and contributing subdued noises of comfort. Lord, it was a wonder she had any trust left for a guy she scarcely knew.

“Okay.” She mopped her eyes and breathed more easily. “Now that I’ve made a total show of myself …”

“… We can go have that cup of tea,” Danny concluded, and gratefully she led him to the kitchen. The biscuits hadn’t been a joke, he’d arrived packet in hand. Did that make him a man of his word? “Actually, you look like you could do with something more substantial than Hobnobs,” he said.

“That bad?”

“Not at all. Just tired. And a tad stressed. Mind if I check the fridge?”

“Sure, be my guest.” It was nice to have someone looking after her, even if eating seemed out of the question. She sat at the table and let Danny’s calm spread to her, feeling distanced from a panic attack for the first time in hours.

“How about BLTs?” He produced a packet from the fridge.

“Eh … I think we’re out of salad.”

“Okay, without the L and the T.”

“You mean a bacon sandwich?”

“Yup.”

“Em …” Somehow, he had coaxed in her a glimmer of appetite. “Yes, I’d like that.” She watched him fry up the bacon, butter bread thickly and strain tea leaves in two mugs, chatting amiably as he prepared. It was comforting, something her dad would have done when his little girl had come home from a tough day at school. They sat at the table, sauce and bacon-grease oozing from between wholemeal bread, mugs of English Breakfast tea steaming. Neely felt something approximating to human again. “Thanks for this,” she said when she made it through a sandwich. “Been a horrible day. You’ve no idea.”

“Then tell me.”

She did, and while putting words to it hurt like hell and worked out her tear ducts all over, something about his presence helped her through the telling. “So there you are,” she concluded, having condensed the whole messy story of shattered hopes and multi-level betrayal. “Quite the eye-opener, right?”

Danny had listened quietly, chin resting on hands, giving her space to recount the dreadful events. He paused before replying, weighing up a response. “So … shall I go round to his place and thump the bastard?”

“Yeah, I’d like that.” She backtracked in case he was serious. “No, don’t. I wouldn’t want you to waste a good punch on his stupid face.” She envisioned the face in question—how it had looked when Ray was talking about their future together and when drifting above her mid-fuck. Her eyes swam once more, as emotion swelled and overtook her. “I thought I was in love with him, Danny. I thought he was this smart, fascinating guy who couldn’t help falling for me, however different we were, and I threw myself at him. Such a stupid slut …”

“You’re neither.” Danny squeezed her arm. “And maybe he fell for you more than you know.”

“His whole plan was to seduce me. It was a ‘game’, that’s his word. And I let him play me. Let him talk me out of beliefs I’ve held since I was a kid.”

“Don’t give him so much credit,” Danny told her with gentle insistence. “Seriously, don’t give this guy so much power, like he’s the great seducer and you’re the poor quivering virginal flower he plucked. You were ready, Neely, all by yourself. You’d come to the point in your life where this was something you wanted to do. You had plenty of desires before this bloke showed up, right? Which you didn’t act on. But because you had genuine feelings for him, you made a decision to cross that line. Okay, he’s turned out a scumbag, but he was clearly a plausible one. You weren’t to know. You made your own choice in good faith. He’s the one who’s lost out here.”

“But don’t you see, Danny?” she appealed to him. “I should have waited. I let myself go and now I’m being—”

“Neely, if you say ‘punished’ I’m walking out and I’m taking the Hobnobs with me. You don’t believe in a God who does that sort of shit. Maybe you made a bad call on this guy’s motives, but that’s the only mistake you made. Now as far as the heartbreak and the disenchantment go, you have to tough that out and hold on to people you love while you do it. But I’m damned if you’re going to guilt-trip yourself at the same time. That’s not going to happen. Because if there’s any kind of God in this universe, he’s hurting for you, not beating on you. So cut out the self-loathing right now and finish your bloody sandwich.”

Neely sat stunned, Danny’s outburst having stalled her grief. “Wow. Were you that good in the pulpit?”

“Damn straight, girl. I was shit-hot.”

Despite everything she laughed. “I’ll bet you were.”

“Look, I’m so sorry it’s worked out this way for you. If I could hop in a Tardis and travel back to warn you, I truly would.” She teared up again at the sentiment. “Of course even if I could, it would probably create some kind of temporal paradox, which would cause the universe to collapse, so … you know, bad idea.”

Neely stared. “You watch Doctor Who?”

“Don’t spread it about. I keep my geek tendencies in check.”

She smiled through her sadness. “It’s nothing to be ashamed about. I’ve got all the box sets.”

“Well in that case maybe we should have a Who evening sometime. I’d suggest tonight, but I doubt you’re up to it.”

She wasn’t sure she had the heart or physical strength to concentrate on anything, but the idea of company was nice, along with some comforting background noise. “I could do with the distraction, at least till I’m able to sleep. Cybermen or Dalek episode? You choose.”

“Dalek every time. Why don’t you go set it up while I’ll make another cuppa? We can crack open the biscuits.”

“Sure, I’m on it.” She prised herself from her chair as he left his, surprised that someone could motivate her to do anything at all.

“Hey, Neely,” Danny called, and she turned to see his wry smile. Somehow, she knew he was recalling their first conversation in the bookstore. “Are we becoming friends here?”

“I hope so,” she said, and it helped her stave off the misery of a hellishly fucked-up day. “I could really do with a friend right now.”

So where’s my photo then? Did it even get taken? I’m waiting.

Carlotta.

How to explain this—there was a photo, but I deleted it. Spur of the moment. Call it clumsy, but I was so intent on fulfilling our pact I got caught out. By the recently bedded object of my designs. I’m sure you’d have found it quite the comedy moment. In the circumstances it seemed too harsh to go ahead and mail the offending item, so I made a point of erasing all evidence. I’m not totally callous. I know you wanted your trophy of this tawdry affair, but I’m afraid you’ll have to accept my word that I completed my triumph. That’s if you want the best fuck of your life in five days’ time. Your call.

Dear Raymond,

You really do make me smile. How can I possibly receive the best fuck of my life from a dickless failure? Either you never took the photograph and you’re trying to lie your way into the sack with me, or you didn’t have the balls in light of her shocking discovery. I do hope it was the latter. Did our piece of subterfuge go badly awry? Were you moved by the tear-stained face of the angel you’d had your cock inside? Poor Ray, did it worry you that you’d broken her brittle Christian heart?

Stop trying to pretend you’re the same man I watched in the hotel bar that night. The man who could bed a young-married woman from a cold start and come down from her room an hour later ready to stalk new prey. That was the man I gave my card to. And if I’d thought for a second he could ever get sentimental about some Jesus bitch I wouldn’t have wasted my goddamn time.

Don’t try to contact me again, Ray. I’ll only block you or delete you. And this weekend I’ll be in London fucking someone with a spine. Hey, go join a freaking Bible Study group. Then maybe you’ll be able to win back your holy-rolling princess.

Good luck with that,

Carlotta x

Dear Neely,

I don’t know what to say here, truly I don’t. There’s nothing that sounds right in my head, but I have to try and say something. I’m used to crafting things with language—all my training is with words and using them to manipulate and you’ve been on the receiving end of that, I know. I lied from the start, I told you what I thought you wanted to hear. I cheated you with words and now when I need them to say something real I don’t know how to use them anymore.

I’m sorry. So damned sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you and I know that’s so fucking hollow, because I didn’t act on it. At the start I behaved as I’ve done all my life, and then I got to know you. I should have done it all so differently. I should have severed my links with that poisonous bitch. I should have tried to be real. With you and with myself. Neely, I’ve never felt like this before. I began to mean the words. I’ve said them so many times to so many people and with you they finally stopped being lies. I don’t even know when it started, but you got to me. You saw things in me I wanted to believe were there. You believed in me when I didn’t deserve it and I repaid you with shit and now it’s killing me. I had you in my life and I didn’t appreciate it till I fucked it up. I didn’t even realise how much I was falling in love with you. I don’t say that stuff, Neely. Whatever else I say, I never use those words. I’ve lost you and I don’t know how to deal with it.

I want to think you have it in you to talk to me or see me, to let me try and alleviate some of the pain I’ve caused. I know what I’ve done here, I understand the magnitude. I know that I deserve nothing from you but contempt. If you don’t want to come near me or even talk, then I’ve brought it on myself. But I hope that you will.

Ray.

You’re right, it’s more words, that’s all. Saying you love someone only means something before you’ve fucked their close friend and betrayed their trust. I was full of rage until I realised you’re not some kind of monster. Just weak and pathetic.

Leave me alone, Ray. I don’t want to hear from you again. Ever.

TO BE CONTINUED
