I blushed and laughed out loud.
"You don't know how much you have boosted my ego. Now I can add that to my story of how I undressed a porn star and she told me I had a nice cock."
Luka giggled up at me and ran her hand back down over my chest and towards my abdomen. I grabbed her hand before she could go any further.
"Err ... Luka ... I'm not sure that is a good idea. It might complicate things if you start doing that."
She looked crestfallen,
"Don't you like me? The way you kissed me said you liked me ... I thought that maybe we ... we could ... you know ... have some fun. I owe you so much ... it's the only way I can repay you. "
She paused and looked searchingly at me. She was after reassurance and I tried to let her down gently but struggled to find the right words.
"Luka ... yes I like you. I think you are very beautiful and more importantly I like you as a person. I don't want you to do that to thank me. You said the kiss was meant to be my thank you and that was very special. I don't think that now is the right time for ... for us to be getting ... err ... getting intimate. You are in a vulnerable state and maybe you think that you owe me ... that you should offer me sex to say thank you. Anyway, if I took you up on the offer I would be taking advantage of you and no better than the guys who have been abusing you in the films.
She looked surprised but then realised that I was trying to keep things under control.
"Ok ... I understand ... I think ... but your cock is nice. I can claim experience is on my side when I say that yours is just the right size. Not too small ... not too big and trust me most girls do not like a big penis."
She went silent and dropped her head back onto my chest. I hugged her tight.
"Luka ... sweetheart ... if it helps ... I saw some of your work ... I wasn't perving ... I just wanted to see if it helped understand how you got here. You didn't enjoy it much did you? Not the later stuff anyway."
She lifted her head and inspected my face with an incredulous look.
"You could tell? It was obvious?"
I nodded.
"Yes. Your early stuff was full of enjoyment. You were having fun but somewhere along the line it turned sour ... and as for the last stuff ... I couldn't watch."
I could see that I was making her emotional and she dropped her head back on to my chest and hugged me tighter.
"Not only are you a good man ... you are a caring man. I'm not sure whether many of the ... err ... audience who watch those types of movies care about the girl. In fact the producers want tears and runny mascara, they want girls gasping for breath after they have been ... err ... sorry ... face fucked ... choke holds to make the girls cry ... they want to see grimaces of pain as large objects are forced into holes not designed for them. It is not about sex ... that sort of porn is about humiliating women. I know there are some girls who do a lot of it because it does pay better but they are normally high on ... whatever ...to get by."
She was quiet for a long time and I didn't push her but eventually she spoke again.
"That is why I started taking heroin ... just to get by in the filming. It started during the Analise Love's Anal sequences ... I had to take on many big ... err ... ummm ... then I started taking more after to ease the pain ... and then I took some ... nmph."
I stopped her with a kiss and then backed away to wipe away the tears that were forming in her eyes as the memories became overpowering for her.
"It's ok ... I understand ... it makes sense ... a way of shutting it out. Is that why you gave up filming for a while after that?"
She looked at me with pain filled eyes.
"Who says I gave it up? Most of the videos I made after the Analise series were not ones that would be fit for mainstream ... a few were borderline and ended up on a BDSM site but the others are on the dark web ... special access only as they are trying to pass me off as a child because I am small and skinny. I tried to stop but the producer ... Zoltan ... beat me up when I wouldn't do any more. When I still refused he told me that he would hurt my mother and father and rape my little sister. So I just kept taking the heroin and performing like a rag doll. He had me trapped because he was my supplier ... he did pay me ... well he put money into an account but he controls it so I can't get the money out. He still hits me if I step out of line. Do you think worse of me now you know ... do you hate me for what I've done?""
She looked up at me to see if I was I going to be judgemental.
I was ... not about Luka ... but Zoltan, he was a different matter.
I cuddled her tighter and kissed the top of her head.
"It's ok sweetheart. I don't ... can't hate you ... I think you are a remarkable young woman for trying to kick heroin on your own and get your life back. I'm just glad to have helped. How did you get here ... to London ... to that god awful flat? How did you get away from Zoltan?"
Her smile had grown in wattage with my words of praise but she settled back into my arms with a grim face.
"I was not in a good way when you knocked on my door and I do not think I could have gone on all alone. I would have gone looking for a dealer and ..."
She broke off and looked sorrowful and then cheered up as other thoughts passed through her head.
"You came to my rescue but I am not proud because of where I have got to in my life but maybe you are right, I am trying to get my life back. But even if I can get clean I will still need to hide because Zoltan will come after me if he finds out where I am. I am his payday."
At this point she looked worried and I hugged her tighter to me.
"Don't worry about Zoltan ... I can talk to him... lets just say I can be very persuasive."
Her expression became hopeful.
"You would do that for me?"
I smiled and nodded and then she thought some more and the worried look returned.
"He is dangerous and has bodyguards with guns. You might get hurt."
I grinned.
"Don't worry. I am quite handy myself and have some friends who are equally persuasive."
Her smile ramped up again and we lay entwined and in silence for a while. I heard a gentle snore and realised she had gone back to sleep.
The body's restorative mechanism in action.
I managed to slip out of bed and checked my receiving email account for any update on my original objective or the information I had requested on Zoltan.
Nothing yet.
I did my workout and had a shower as quietly as I could in order not to wake Luka but before I could get dressed she moaned and came awake with pain in her eyes. I could see that she was cramping again by the way her body was contorting so went over and held her until the spasms ebbed away. I held her head while she drank a glass of water ... slowly at my insistence ... and then wiped her sweaty face and then let her rest again, still cuddling her. Eventually she felt strong enough to move and speak.
"Can I ... may I have some more soup, please?"
I chuckled.
"Of course you can. I think 8 spoonfuls this time. I'll warm it up a bit in the microwave."
I could feel her eyes on me as I went to the kitchenette area wrapped only in a towel. I turned to grin at her.
"Checking out my arse are you?"
She smiled weakly.
"No ... just wondering how I ended up living over the best ... err ... to be lucky enough to have the best neighbour in the world. I do not know how many people live in London but ... you are one in a million! Is that the correct expression?"
I nodded as the microwave pinged.
"Yes that's a good expression. Your English has improved since the first casting shoot. You had a translator."
She laughed.
"Silly man ... that was to make me look even more naΓ―ve and young. I learnt English at school and was going to study it at university to become a teacher ... until I got into porn ..."
She trailed away with a wistful look on her face so I decided to change the subject and waved the bowl at her.
"Right ... do you want me to feed you or are you strong enough to sit up and hold the bowl and spoon?"
She cocked her head on one side and pondered this for a moment with yet another adorable expression.
"You hold the bowl and I'll use the spoon. I cannot be helpless forever."
I helped her to sit up with pillows supporting her and held the bowl while she tried to lift the spoon without spilling any. Unfortunately her hand was shaking so much she spilt most of the first spoonful onto her left boob. Both our gazes went immediately to the spillage and then up to each other's eyes. Hers held a teasing smirk.
