Isabel's phone alarm rang, interrupting her conversation. "Oh, sorry Richard, looks like it's my time! I'd better pop to the bathroom." Richard looked at her blankly. The train glid smoothly on, a gentle rocking and the muffled roar of the wheels on the tracks all that belied their speed.
"'Your time'?" he enquired in his alluring accent. It was hard to place β German maybe? No, further East. Slovakian, she wondered. She still hadn't asked him where he was from. Somehow there hadn't been the opportunity during their brief conversation so far, after they had met for the first time over the table in the middle of coach C of the 14:42 train to Firkenham Central. Isabel looked back skeptically.
"Yeah, you know..." she shifted uncomfortably in her chair and blushed. "I've got to, like... take care of things?" Richard continued staring at her, uncomprehending. Isabel looked away under his gaze, feeling self-conscious. Even with her jacket on, her curves were obvious, and that was not an advantage at a time like this.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about... It sounds uhh..." he trailed off, also looking uncomfortable.
"Don't tell me you don't know? The parasite?"
"The parasite?" he echoed.
"You really don't know?"
"Really." He raised one eyebrow inquiringly. Isabel looked at the clock on her phone.
"Wow, OK. I guess it hasn't spread to your country, huh? I suppose I can explain quickly, but then I really gotta go!
"It all started about 5 years ago. At first, nobody knew what was going on β women just started getting really horny for no apparent reason. Not every woman, and not all the time, it was a mystery. And it was all over the news for months here β that's why I was surprised you hadn't heard about it. Anyway, it's this illness, right? a parasite like I said. And if a woman catches it, then, well... you know how in malaria you have those fever cycles? It's kind of like that. Every two days β usually, it varies from person to person β we just get
really
horny. Don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding! It's not like you think, it's um... more debilitating than you'd imagine. As in, if we don't take precautions, then we basically turn into, well, mindless sluts, pretty much." Richard stifled a laugh. "Don't laugh! It's serious. Some women literally get turned into sex slaves because they forgot to do what they need to."
"So what
do
you have to do," asked Richard, suitably serious, "what's the precaution?" Isabel looked away and blushed again.
"We have to, uh... you know. Orgasm." Richard managed to contain his instinctive eye-bulging reaction and merely blanked.
"Oh. Right, so that's what you were going to..."
"Yeah, I gotta go and..." In spite of having had to masturbate once every 37 hours (or more frequently) for the last three and a half years, no matter what else was happening at that moment, Isabel was still shy about it. She looked at her phone.
"But how did you catch it then?" he asked, not noticing. Isabel hesitated, looking away, before she answered.
"Well you can never tell for sure. It's hard to catch it from anything other than bodily fluids so it was probably someone I kissed in school." Richard nodded slowly.
"So, uh... How did you find out you had it?" Richard was looking thoughtful, and oblivious to Isabel's discomfort and desire to go. "...if you don't mind my asking, that is," he added, realising what kind of question he was asking.
"Jeez you don't beat around the bush do you? Alright, fine, I'll tell you.
"I was fifteen and in school. I hadn't really had much, you know... experience in that regard so I just kind of started feeling funny in class and I asked to go to the bathroom. I just thought it was period stuff or something. The funny thing about it is though... well, not funny for us, but you know what I mean... is that the first time you don't get much warning. Nowadays even if I miss my alarm I generally notice and dash to the bathroom quick enough, but that time...
"So anyway, I was walking to the bathroom and just felt weirder and weirder and like I had to be touched. So I started touching myself, through my top, through my skirt, right there in the hall, and that felt pretty good, so I knew I was on the right track, so I started just rubbing harder and faster. I mean, I was pretty sheltered growing up, I had never fingered myself before or had a boyfriend do that or anything, I didn't know
what
was going on, just that it felt good.
"But somehow I knew it wasn't enough. That's another funny thing β if you miss your time, that's it, you can't make yourself cum. The parasites are releasing this massive load of hormones or something β that's what makes us so fucking horny, but they also release something which makes it waayyy harder to orgasm. If you do it in time, you suppress them for however long, but if you're late, you're stuck. Unless you can find some help that is.
"So basically, along came this boy I didn't even know and I just jumped on him and started ripping his clothes off, trying to fuck him. Somehow your subconscious like, lizard brain or whatever takes over and it just knows what to do. But just as I get his cock out he manages to get me off him and run away. I was too far gone to care so I just fell down with three fingers in me, moaning for all to hear. Can you imagine? Right in the middle of the corridor! That's how the nurse found me β thankfully he'd gone to get her instead of to grab all his mates for a gangbang." Isabel shuddered, and not entirely with horror. "I mean, we pretty much do whatever we're told when we're like that, so... So yeah, that's how I found out I'd got it. But I
really
need to go now..."
"Oh, sorry!" said Richard, "I just had one more question..." he put his hand on Isabel's as she moved to get up, and she stopped. "I mean... what happens after? How did you get back to normal?"
"Oh,
that
..." Isabel blushed deeply. "So yeah, you have to orgasm to get back, but like I told you, you can't do it yourself."
"So you have to, uh... fuck someone?"
"Not quite. Basically the parasite wants you to get fucked to get passed on, you know? So it's trying to make sure you don't cheat by fingering yourself. So the 'idea' I guess is that a guy, well, cums in you and he makes you cum, which like, resets it. But you can trick it with a special dildo. You have to cum and inject yourself with this fake sperm at the same time. It's kind of... well at first I thought it was gross, but to be honest it's also kind of hot. I mean, at
first
I didn't give a fuck because I just wanted to have something hot and hard in my pussy, but afterwards, when I was thinking about it..." Though she tried to conceal it, Richard saw her squirm. It wasn't too hard to imagine what she might have thought about, what she might have done.
