Another mini-segue chapter. Sorry for the long delays for people who have liked this story. I had a few commissions to work on but I appreciate your kind words!

11:30 was always the beginning of the lunch time rush. Ashley was stuck at the register serving a seemingly endless line of students. With her apron covered in coffee grounds and a loose bang hanging in front of her face, she forced a smile and took the next order. Still, she liked the busy work. The clamor of the cafe kept her mind from wandering, thinking about whether or not she wanted to attend a nursing program, whether or not she wanted to move back to her parents and whether or not she wanted to see Danny again.
Several days had passed and Ashley was still angry over their last encounter. She spent the rest of the night consoling Drew after being humiliated in his own business. It was that incident that kept Ashley from forgiving Danny, eclipsing the guilt Ashley felt over seeing someone else. Hadn't she been clear about needing some time? In their last goodbye, standing outside, covered only by clothes handed to them, did she at all indicate she wanted to remain exclusive? No matter how many times she told herself "no", Ashley still felt the need to give Danny more of an apology, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
The background noise of patrons talking was interrupted by a door bursting open and a woman's voice screaming, "Where the fuck are you?!"
Heads turned to the door and Ashley tried to look herself but couldn't see past the line of customers, that was, until they were pushed aside. The person responsible was Cammy, dressed in her volleyball jacket and jeans, red-faced and staring straight at Ashley as she stepped in front of everyone who waited patiently in line. Cammy got to the desk and grabbed Ashley by the front of her shirt. "I'm going to kill you!"
Ashley almost fell forward but grabbed the desk for stability. She used the other to grab Cammy's wrist and pull it off her. "Get the hell off of me!" she spat. "What is wrong with you?"
Indeed, what was wrong with Cammy? Now that she was up close, Ashley could see that the sorority sister's eyes were red from crying, nose running and it looked like she hadn't gotten any sleep. "You! You and that...dyke! You humiliated me at my game and then you...you.." she broke down in tears again, pounding the desk with her fist. "...everyone saw me with my boyfriend...doing those..things."
Ashley was too confused to be angry as she watched Cammy slump forward onto the desk. With a shaky hand, Ashley patted her on the back. "Cammy...I don't know what you're talking about."
"Bullshit!" Cammy reached to grab Ashley by her apron, jerking her across the desk. "I know it was you and that dyke who put those spiders in my clothes and made me humiliate myself. You cost me my membership in the sorority!"
Ashley could see tears develop in her captors' eyes and used that moment of vulnerability to grab Cammy's wrists and pull them off of her once more. "Don't you ever touch me again." she hissed, "And you have five seconds to get out of here before I call the cops."
Being that she was bigger than Ashley,Cammy did not anticipate the shorter barista to talk in such a stern manner, especially when Cammy's memories of Ashley were of her timidly covering her nakedness after being stripped.
Being threatened with arrest made Cammy hesitate to make a move and with her emotions already on high, she just cried again as she submitted, retracting her hands as she backed away. "Fine! call the cops bitch! Enjoy working in a coffee shop the rest of your life you fucking loser."
Ashley watched as the shamed sorority sister turned and slowly walked out the door, covering her red face from the other students who stared in silence. Ashley managed to stand up to a woman who had once intimidated her multiple times, but the empathy she had for Cammy's situation soured the victory. Ashley only hoped that Cammy would be able to find peace without needing to get back at Danny.
Outside, Cammy got to her car and collapsed in her seat, covering her eyes as she cried again, her confidence taken away from her a second time. Even a college dropout was able to outdo her.
While she sat beside herself in self pity, Cammy couldn't hear footsteps creeping up behind her. It wasn't until she heard the voice of a male asking, "Miss is there something wrong?" that she looked up and saw a handsome man in a beard, with a minor cut on his face.

"What did I say? I told you this pussy better not get wet." Mistress Victoria hissed next to a naked woman whose face was hidden by a zipper mask. She was tied up, a harness wrapped around her shoulders that cris-crossed over her breasts, arms forced into a T, each tied to a ringlet that was screwed into the ground.
She hung upside down from a hook, her backside facing up. Right above the woman's backside was a lower back tattoo, a tribal design of what looked to resemble a raven, its wings spread open over the woman's rear cheeks. All along her back were dark red marks from the flogger that struck her. Like a hammock, she twirled in the air. while the fresh new coat of juice covered her labia, running down her abdomen like dew on a leaf.
Danny looked at the video through one eye, wishing to avoid stimulation. They had to watch the entire film to make sure it had uploaded onto the website. Listening to the woman's moans made the task impossible, as Danny could feel their loins stir, the marriage of sight and sound entering the pleasure centers of Danny's brain, causing them to slide back in their chair. It was when Mistress Victoria bent down to bite the woman's plump, red posterior that Danny began to do kegel exercises, minor strains to acknowledge in their body that they knew it was hungry.
The problem with depression was that it affected all appetites, including sex. Even though the closeup of teeth tearing into soft flesh made Danny envious of the salty taste of sweat and the shifting of teeth biting into hard skin, all they could imagine was biting into Ashley and it tore open Danny's heart again.
Forcing their eyes to close ,Danny listened to the video and tried to think of something else. They tried not thinking of Ashley naked, her sensuous curves rounding out in her bottom, hidden partially by some lacey undergarments. Underwear was of course Danny's kink, and memories of Ashley in the gym, heart printed underwear revealed to the entire class made Danny wet.
Ashley looked so vulnerable with her blushing face and hand pressed over her crotch, the real Ashley without any ego or pride, leaving her susceptible to complete surrender. Danny imagined guiding Ashley down to the gymnasium floor and sliding their hand down her panties, pushing their fingers inside Ashley while she covered her face in embarrassment from all the students watching her get fucked.
