May 1983
The post-reception party was in full swing at the bar of a prominent hotel on the Strip in Las Vegas.
Sally Fountain, nee' Johnson, sat at a table with her new husband and several of his friends. Her foot was doing a nervous jig as she sipped a vodka and tonic and watched the others at the table getting riotously drunk. After a bit, she finished her drink, told Larry - her new husband -to order her a refill, grabbed her purse and went to the ladies room.
As she walked through the crowded bar, she looked back at the table in time to see Larry and one of his buddies each knock back a shot of Crown Royal. Sally shook her head, as it was looking more and more like her new husband might not be able to perform on their wedding night, and that was a distressing, but not particularly surprising, prospect.
Once in the ladies room, she entered a stall, closed the door, opened her purse and took out her trusty vial and tiny spoon. She opened the vial, which was still two-thirds full of very good cocaine, scooped up a generous spoonful and snorted it up one nostril, then repeated the process with the other. In all, she stuck four spoons up her nose while she peed, completed her business in the bathroom then returned to the party. Along the way, she had made a decision; she was going to get fucked on her wedding night, and if Larry was too drunk to do it, there were others in the party who would be more than willing to stand in for him.
Sally had seen the looks Larry's friends had given her and she had unabashedly returned them. She no longer had any illusions about who or what she was. She was a slut, pure and simple, a slut who loved to fuck, anywhere, any time and with anyone, as some of Larry's friends had already found out over the previous months. Her dead stepfather had done a splendid job of changing a naive teenager into a raving sex maniac, with plenty of help from Uncle Alcohol and Cousin Cocaine.
Cocaine, in fact, had been the vehicle through which she had met Larry and come to this surprising point in her life.
When Sylvia had delivered Sally to the emergency room on the night after Ted's funeral, drunk, stoned and bleeding from her vagina, it had marked the beginning of a downward turn in her life. The bleeding and the pain that had accompanied it was the onset of a miscarriage. She had indeed been pregnant, but apparently her resolute self-abuse had triggered a spontaneous abortion, as though her body was rejecting the notion of creating new life. After it was over and she had begun to heal, while still hospitalized, Sally had demanded that Dr. Kranz, her gynocologist, tie her tubes to prevent any further risk of pregnancy. The doctor had tried to talk her out of it, arguing that at age 21 and in the state she was in, she didn't understand what she was doing, and would surely change her mind.
But Sally was adamant. She knew she wasn't cut out to be a mother, plus she had an inkling as to where her life was headed, and she couldn't imagine bringing a baby into her world. It was one of the few decisions she made during this time in her life that was the least bit responsible, and she has never once regretted it in all the years since.
Almost the first thing Sally did when she was released from the hospital was go off in search of cocaine, and from then until the end of the year, she spent most of her time drunk and high. Of course, she lost her job - or more accurately, gave it up - being too emotionally unstable to work effectively. She still had her little bungalow, which Ted had paid up on until the middle of 1982, and she took a page from Ted's handbook by plundering her mother's bank accounts to live and get high on. Occasionally, she latched onto some of Ted's old friends who would slip her cash. She refused to actually go out and work the streets, but she did the next best thing and that was use her contacts, who would, in turn, use her for sex.
Things came to a climax when Sally showed up at her mother's house on Christmas Day drunk, high and stinking of sex from what had been a Christmas Eve orgy at the apartment of someone she'd met that night at a bar, along with three of his friends.
When she had sobered up and gotten cleaned up, Sally and Sylvia had a long talk, and Sylvia suggested that Sally take on some form of drug rehabilitation. Sally agreed, up to a point, but would only consent to a two-week stay at a clinic in Orange County. Sally knew she needed to dry out and get a handle on her life again, but she was in no way ready to completely give up her partying lifestyle.
As luck would have it, on her first day at the clinic she'd met Larry, who was working there as a counselor. Sally immediately zeroed in on him, as he was frankly a hunk. Larry Fountain had the kind of looks and physique that made women melt and men envious. He was 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, with dazzling blue eyes and with salt-and-pepper hair that gave away his age of 38 years, but which also gave him a sophisticated look.
Plus he had big family money. Larry's grandfather had come to Southern California after the First World War and had used every dime he could scrape up to buy what was then worthless desert land well out in the country. It had taken nearly 20 years for his investment to pay off, until World War II broke out, but when it did, it made the Fountains fabulously wealthy. Fountain Realty was still one of the largest real estate brokers in the San Fernando Valley, and Sally had immediately made the connection between Larry and his family's companies and had moved in for the kill.
Larry had been on duty the second night Sally was there, when she climbed onto the desk where he was reading a magazine and did her best come-on. She talked him into slipping into a broom closet where she pressed her hot, thinly-clad body against him, then slid to her knees and untied his scrub pants, where his cock was bulging in his briefs and soaking the cloth where it came into contact with the tip. Larry's dick wasn't that long, but it was quite meaty, and Sally's mouth watered as she pulled his underwear down and grabbed hold of it at the base.
