know you do, baby. You’re an attention whore.”
I hung my head as an orgasm sidled closer. Will reached around, thumbing my nipples until I got that tickle in my throat that means I’m done for. Very soon. “I am a whore. For you, for my craft.” This was no secret, really.
The air cracked, and I bit my tongue to muffle my cry. Will was spanking me, large whooping cracks of his palm on my ass. It was a real treat to have a spanking from him, it was something he saved for special occasions. Or if I begged—a lot.
“Now you’re a whore for Big Tom, too. And soon, your very own first actual audience.” He accented the last three words with firm blows. I shuddered under him, eating up the attention and the pain and the sound of flesh striking flesh.
This would certainly help my stage nerves. Every time I felt jittery I would feel the pinch of his fingers, the sting of his palm on my ass, the thought of a man jacking off watching us fuck. “I’m going to come again,” I admitted, hanging my head. My hair brushed the dresser top as I pushed back to take each thrust he gave me.
Another smack, and it came rushing at me. The air was too thin, the room too bright, the world turning too fast, for just an instant. And then it was all lost in that tumble of flickering spasms and pleasure that seemed to reach my toes.
Will banged into me one, two, three more times and then roared his own release. It was probably my imagination but I swore I heard Tom follow suit. Our windows really were very close.
“Now you’ll be fine,” Will said, kissing my shoulder, nibbling my neck.
“How so?”
“We’ll just count that as your dress rehearsal.”
My nerves were banished, my body seemed to hum. I didn’t feel any kind of fear. I sighed “I can do that. But in a few moments, I might need just one more. To make sure I have it right.”
Will chuckled. “Anything for your craft.” And then he kissed me.
Good Cop, Bad Cop (A Story)
By Kristina Lloyd
When Karen failed to get a Barbie doll for her eighth birthday, all the flowers in the family garden died. At the age of fifteen, Andy Edwards dumped her for Marnie Bell and Karen didn’t find out until Gemma Cosgrove passed the message on in double history class. The hummingbirds on the Chinese wallpaper in her parents’ dining room slid to the floor, lifeless.
Nobody put two and two together to make five. Why would they?
Ten years later, exactly 365 days after Karen had split with the man she’d imagined growing old with, she walked into Downtown, the contemporary art gallery where she worked, to discover the color had vanished from all the paintings. The images remained but the canvases were stained with a palette of grays—charcoal, dove, church mouse, pewter—and the blank extremes of soot black and ivory. Karen’s manager, Alicia Dean, was yammering on the phone to the police while their cleaner, a blond, dreadlocked art student called Stuart, picked through the contents of a rubbish sack. In the newly drab gallery, Stuart’s gloved hands were a flutter of garish pink.
“Man, this is well freaky,” he muttered.
Karen agreed, a sense of dread stealing over her.
Alicia snapped her phone shut. “Rozzers are on their way,” she said with plummy-voiced confidence.
A jolt of lechery charged Karen’s insides. Oh, for shame. She’d spent a year without cock, and now even the mention of men in uniform was enough to spark her lust. She was embarrassed but unsurprised. She currently couldn’t get through a single day without wanting to accost eligible young men in the supermarket, on the bus or in the street, and her definition of “eligible” was growing increasingly broad. At night, her dreams were orgiastic romps of flesh, chest hair and muscle, of deep voices, thick fingers, stubbled jaws and hot, salty skin. Oh, and of cock, too. Let’s not forget the cock.
Within a couple of minutes, two bobbies on the beat had arrived, a man and woman in high-visibility jackets, him in a traditional tit-shaped helmet. Five minutes later, a patrol car drew up, blue lights flashing, and two cops sauntered in, reassuringly mean in black combats, boots and bulky protective vests. They wore peaked caps with checkered bands, each with a black baton jutting by his hip. Karen grew moist at the sight of those batons.
The morning got really exciting when forensics came along and the gallery was cordoned off to the public. “Crime scene. Do not enter” read the yellow tape. Stuart left for college and Alicia began to cry. It fell to the female officer to comfort her and get busy with the kettle and the tissues. In the main gallery, crumpled white creatures in head-to-toe plastic swept dust into little pots, swabbed canvases and took measurements, photos and videos. If it hadn’t been for a minor royal due in town that day to open a new conference center, they’d have been ignored. But in a state of heightened security, anything suspicious required prompt investigation. The gallery bleeped and crackled with radio messages, there were mutterings about bioterrorism, and a general air of indecisiveness hung about the place, although the latter wasn’t, in itself, unusual.
Eventually, Karen approached the three male cops who were in the long gallery, clustered around a painting entitled “A Study in Blue.”
“Color’s this one meant to be, then?” asked Bryn, a freckle-faced man with barely visible eyelashes and pale, ginger brows. A copper copper, thought Karen.
Bryn’s colleagues laughed at his feeble joke.
Karen cleared her throat. “You should take me in for questioning. I know something about this.”
The policemen got suddenly serious. The sexiest of the bunch, Sol, a dark-eyed guy with a hard, straight nose, instinctively rested a hand on his baton and glared, his body tensed for action. Karen’s cunt tingled.
“What is it you want to tell us, eh?” asked the third cop, a barrel-chested man who looked ready to burst out of his protective vest. Karen hadn’t caught his first name and knew only that he was Sergeant Carter.
She chewed her lip, thinking, I want to tell you the colors have vanished because I’m desperately lonely and I’m not getting any cock. Instead, she said, “It’s private. If you don’t want to take me to the station, there’s a room in the basement we could use.”
The three men exchanged glances. Karen edged closer. She could practically smell the testosterone. “It’s not what you’re thinking,” she said. “I’m not dangerous.”
Sol narrowed his eyes at her. “Well, that’s lucky,” he said. “Because we are, ‘specially if you don’t cooperate.”
Sergeant Carter smiled. “But let’s start off with a friendly chat, eh?”
Ah, good cop, bad cop, thought Karen, pleased she had the measure of them.
“I’ll wait here,” said Bryn. “Radio if you need me.”
The Cellar Gallery downstairs, a room at the far end of a perfectly smart basement, was a poor exhibition space, prone to damp and rarely used. It housed the gas meters in a cupboard that was difficult to disguise, and its floor was cobbled. The gallery was a former bank built on the site of a workhouse, and rumor had it the cellar’s thick metal door with its small, prison-bar window was a remnant from an age of Victorian cruelty. A patina of verdigris mottled its surface, a sea-green wash in a basement leached of color. Karen pushed the door shut as Sol and Sergeant Carter entered, their boots heavy on the cobbles. Soft circles of halogen overlapped on the white walls, illuminating emptiness and picture hooks. Karen leaned seductively against the door.
The men were unmoved. “What’s this about then?” demanded Sol, his hand still on his baton.
Karen couldn’t remember the last time she’d been alone with a fit, handsome stranger, and now she had two of them in uniform, all epaulettes and steely power. Their presence was intoxicating. Karen didn’t know what to do. She hadn’t thought this
