The blackmailer primes Terry's pump.

[Terry and Eve have discovered that someone on the internet is blackmailing both of them and, so far, has used that power to cause them to perform sex acts in public. They are both terrified about what's coming next, but intensely curious about who's blackmailing them and why. And especially, they want to know how this is going to end.]
I get home in the Uber, exhausted, scared, relieved and horny as hell. Of course, my girlfriend Sandy isn't sleeping over tonight - we don't see each other every night and especially because of my 'date' in the park, I made sure tonight wasn't one of those nights. But I feel so guilty anyway.
I go take a warm shower - I'm still frozen after being forced to get naked in the cold. Happily, my little buddy comes out of hiding and relaxes. I smile at him and compliment him for everything he did. And with that last bit of humor, while trying to laugh, at last I lose it. It's all so surreal, suddenly having my life stolen from me. I scream and pound my fist on the wall. Why...?
I take a big breath after that. How do I feel?
Terrified: IT has my life on the line. We call the blackmailer 'IT' since we don't know IT's gender and by calling the blackmailer 'IT' we dehumanize IT, as IT has dehumanized us. IT can press a button now and I'll be in jail for the rest of my natural life, but that still doesn't make me feel anything but pure anger.
Guilty: First, all the manufactured blackmail material that IT produced to get my cooperation - I look guilty of serious crimes. But I also am guilty as fuck. I've cheated on Sandy. I'm having relations with another man's wife, so I'm aiding her in cheating and hurting that other guy. I'm breaking the law - getting naked and having sex in public places. Now the blackmailer has pictures of Sandy and me fucking on the couch, since IT has access to all my home cameras - so I've exposed her too. This is bad. This is so bad.
Horny: okay, yes. I admit it. I've never been so hot in my life. The experience with Eve in the park... being denied for almost a week, knowing I'm being watched. It's all so creepy but oddly stimulating.
Speaking of being denied - how can I keep avoiding sex with Sandy? She's going to get suspicious. Maybe I tell her I got ED?
Sandy. This is all so weird. Disturbing. I love Sandy. This one, I'd thought, was shaping up to be the one that stuck. We connect emotionally. We're aligned socially. The sex is great. She mostly 'gets' me...
Except it makes me kinda sad that she really doesn't understand my art. She only seems to understand hyper-realistic art and then only as far as the subject - nothing about technique, composition, brush strokes, color, light. "I like how he smiles at her" or "that flower looks like a photograph" whatever... Me, I paint abstracts, pointillism, light play, gradient, focus, motion: but nothing that would even register on her art brain. I should send her to art appreciation classes.
But Eve! That's a whole other plane of connection. I don't know why I feel so ridiculously close to her. Was it the pure lust of what we did in the park? The foxhole/trauma camaraderie of both being horribly blackmailed? The fact that she's beautiful? Or that she loves my art? I don't really understand, but all of it. My feelings are so strong and confusing, coming straight out of the blue like this.
How would I compare the two? It's like they're from different worlds: they don't even compare. They're both hot, both amazing women. My relationship with them is totally different. I laugh to myself: I just thought of Eve as a 'relationship' but I hardly know her: I know what the back of her throat feels like more than the inside of her brain. But everything - EVERYTHING - about the inside of her brain that I saw, I liked. And, under duress, isn't that where you see the real person?

*Thursday*
I'm halfway dressed to go to the studio when my cellphone beeps which now makes me cringe in terror. It's becoming Pavlovian.
"sweet treets and meets" is texting.
"so how wuz it terry <splash><lips> did u get off <fire>"
How do I answer? I feel like I have to be straight: IT already knows too much; I don't know what the blackmailer doesn't know. I guess I have to be honest...
"Scary. Hot. Terrifying. Sexy."
"wut u think of eve <glamorous woman>"
"She's beautiful. Vivacious. She has strong character. Good taste. And she gives amazing head."
"she somethin rite <trophy> great boobs OO hot ass <donkey> beutiful lips <lips>"
"Yes. All that. You can check your web shots and see for yourself. Who are you?"
"not the questn <exclamation point> questchn is who r u <question mark>"
Shit. What does that mean? While I'm trying to type a response, the bouncing dots bounce indicating IT is typing, so I just wait.
"wer goin 2 find out <exclamation> found yr kink test on yr comp <shocked face> switch leaning dom pleasur dom <feather> knotty boy <whip>
"shave yr cok ass an ballz <razor> finsh wrok by noon 2day <clock> be here <link to an address> by 1 n do whtver she sez <whip> I will get report after <paper> n I do mean whtever <devil face>"
What the fuck is that? Now I have so much to think about. I'm being sent somewhere to a "she" who is going to give me orders. I don't think it's going to be about cleaning her office or painting her walls. Considering everything about IT - it's going to be sexual. Or humiliating. Or maybe this is the endgame: it might be illegal. But I know it will be intense.
Or maybe "she" is the blackmailer?
I awkwardly go into the bathroom and shave myself. It's almost impossible to shave your own ass. Why am I shaving my ass? Then it strikes me: oh, fuck! I don't want to know. But it takes forever and I'm not sure I got it right even then. I finish dressing and check my computer to see if that other me - the one IT created - has been up to no good again. Apparently not. These damn things are so complicated though, I can't really tell. IT had to show me. I'm a fine arts major, not a computer science geek!
So I go to my studio, but I can't paint. I can't think.
Who is IT? Is this an old boyfriend of Eve's or girlfriend of mine getting revenge? I don't know Eve's world, but she might've said something if she suspected. All of my exes were left on amicable terms and none of them skilled enough to do this. Eve's husband - that makes no sense - she said that he was not at all dominant and the jealous type and why force her to do this? Sandy? God, no! She's an uptight straight bible belt type and couldn't ever do this: she doesn't have the desire or the skills. A secret government agency? Why? A sick thesis experiment from a sociopath psych major? Who would approve that? It'd be illegal.
What about a criminal thing? Blackmail people and get them to run drugs or something? Makes sense: I guess getting us in more and more compromising situations gives them better blackmail material before they deliver the ultimate coup de grΓ’ce. It's like a movie - is this a spy thing? But neither a pharm sales rep nor a hack artist would be useful, would we? Am I going to be invited to a coronation and they'll set me up to assassinate someone or something? Man, I'm letting my imagination go wild on this: I've seen too many movies! I don't have enemies at work - I don't work with anyone except galleries. Maybe Eve has enemies? Elaborate approach though.
My ex - Melissa - was pretty bitter about our break-up, but what did she expect? She cheated. And, frankly, she wasn't that interesting anyway. But does she have the talent to do something like this? She is a programmer... no, this is too difficult for her and she has other things to do. Right?
Nothing makes sense!
I stop to get some food, and avoid greasy things that might make whatever happens this afternoon harder. But I'm not hungry - too anxious.
And it's time. I follow Maps and get there and it's in one of those drive-in industrial parks - rows of buildings with rows of non-descript doors: the kind of place you always wonder what's inside. There are only a few cars in the parking lot. I park under a tree and walk to the suite. Nerve-wracking.
