Part three. All characters are over eighteen.
***
I woke up tangled in the arms of a naked stranger.
The girl was curled up against me. Her eyes were closed in sleep, dark hair failing across her face. The sheets lay in a tangle at the bottom of my bed and I had full view of her naked body; her petite breasts flush against my chest, the curve of her hips pressed against mine. One of her arms was flung over my stomach.
I looked around. The morning light shone through my closed blinds. I closed my eyes as an ugly and by now familiar guilt reared up in the pit of my stomach.
I'd done it again. I'd cheated and this time with a girl I didn't even know. And the sex... with Janice, sex had always been a communication; an offering to her. A gentle thing, where the two of us would meet in a place of love and respect. It may not have been the most passionate lovemaking but it- it was still good.
Last night though... I looked at the bruises dotting the girl's arms, her hips, where my fingers had cruelly dug in. I stared at the bite-marks and cum-stains on her small breasts, and I felt a hot shudder of shame at my actions.
The person who'd- who'd brutalised the girl last night hadn't been me-
But,
some part of me whispered,
it had been.
I'd never done anything like that before.
But you fantasised,
the whispers continued.
Even while you had your boring, vanilla sex-
I'd- I'd been forced. Something was happening to me, something strange and terrifying-
Something that was giving you what you always wanted.
I lay there, the woman pressed against me, while the hot shame twisted and warred with something else; something hotter and surer that swelled as the day grew brighter. It was still early and yet the sun seemed to burn through my closed blinds, laser-like rays pushing through cracks to alight on my floor, my bed and my naked flesh. I fancied I could see the morning radiance waft into the room in slow, creeping waves, until it oozed over me like a rising tide. I lay there, a naked girl curled against me, and felt my lust- and my cock- stir afresh.
I cannot tell you how long it took; it could have been minutes or hours. Time seemed to stop outside of that rising ocean of lust. The air became hazy once more as the heat prickled my skin, as a sheen of sweet sprung up over my naked body, as my cock rose until its length bumped up against the girl's hip.
The haze condensed in front of me until I could make her out once more; sylph-like, blazing and beautiful. The flame woman from my fever-dreams bent down, her face inches from mine, her lips twisted into a wicked smile. At the last moment her gaze shifted to the girl sleeping next to me-
I started as the shimmering woman dissolved into a thousand twinkling flames and a silent fit of giggles. I looked around me. Was I going mad? Was I hallucinating? Was this all a fever-dream? The girl stirred against me, her eyes fluttering open, her hand moving down to loosely curl around my burning cock. I felt her slim fingers wrap gently around my shaft. Her eyes opened slowly before widening with a sudden start as she realised where she was and what she had done last night. She flinched away from me-
A flicker of colourless flame behind her; a soft, throaty moan that only I could hear- and then the girl hesitated. She bit her lip, looking down at the throbbing cock in her hands, and I could see the sudden shift in her eyes, the creeping war between uncertainty and lustful hunger. She moaned and I fancied I could hear just a touch of despair in her voice, a sense of helplessness, of being swept away in a terrible tide out into a vast and boiling ocean.
I opened my mouth to speak but abruptly her internal struggles ceased. She pushed me onto my back and, winching with every movement, swung one of her slim legs over to straddle my hip. She paused, my erection pressing against her stomach, her little breasts proudly displayed on her chest, and closed her eyes as though steeling herself. With a hiss she raised her hips and slid down onto my cock. She panted, her eyes still closed, her stomach tensing. For all her obvious exhaustion and pain, her pussy was more than ready for me; already hot, already wet, already squeezing me in welcome as it massaged my length. As she began to move up and down, her pace speeding up bit by bit, her grunts of pain turned into long, breathy moans. Our pleasures rose in tandem until she was rolling her hips urgently against my length, her breasts shaking with each movement, her aches and bruises forgotten in the flames of lust.
Abruptly she shrieked her fingers digging into my chest, her cunt spasming around my cock. The sensations of her rippling pussy, the look of bliss on her face, the way her back arched- it pushed me over the edge and I shot blazing cum into her hot depths. She shrieked again and collapsed atop me, her body heaving.
I held her until she stopped panting and then a little longer as she cried into my chest like a baby. Eventually she pulled herself off my softening cock and managed to half-step, half-fall off the bed. She waddled over to the bedroom door like an old woman.
"Are you okay?" I managed to ask.
She turned to look at me and part of me was struck by her slender beauty. The other, darker part noticed the exhausted way she moved, the way her legs were bowed, the flush on her ivory features, and blazed with pride. "Can I go?"
I groaned, doing my best to supress the surge of lust that the question- hesitant, uncertain, like a child asking permission from a parent- prompted. "Sure. Want me to call you an Uber?"
She shook her head. "I'm okay. I'll take the Tube." It was only then that I noticed she had an American accent. "Where are my clothes?"
It took a few minutes to find her skirt (stained), her shirt (ripped) and an old shirt of mine to replace it (too big). Her bra had mysteriously vanished- probably thrown out the window in a fit of passion- and her panties were presumed to be still in the elevator. She shuffled over to the front door as I ushered her out. At the last minute she turned and stared into my eyes, and I sensed another decision being weighed.
Eventually she said in a soft, hoarse voice, "Can I have your phone number?"
I gave it over, uncertain if she wanted to arrange a later booty call or hand it to the police. It was only after she'd left- glancing back like she was afraid I say
No, sorry, changed my mind, you're now my sex slave, come back for round three that
I realised that my girlfriend- my loving girlfriend- was coming back in a few days and I really, really didn't want my philandering to be more than a one-off thing.
Janice. Shit. I looked around my living room, hunting for my phone. I found it soon enough in my pants, still lying in a puddle on my floor. Had she called me during the night? Had she called me a couple of times, wondering why I wasn't responding? Was she suspicious? Was she furious? Was-
Okay. She hadn't called me. She was probably still busy. I sighed and sat down.
The living room stunk of sex. The bedroom stunk of a
lot
of sex, and the sheets needed either several cycles of washing or, more likely, burning. I sighed and got to work.
Half an hour later the room stunk of slightly
less
sex. The sheets had been changed as had the cushion covers on the couch. I dumped her ripped up shirt into the bin and checked my watch. I had an hour before I was meant to meet Max.
I shuffled off into the shower, turning the water on high. I saw myself in the mirror and started. I looked less pale than last time at least, although dark circles were underneath my eyes. But the improvement to my overall health paled in comparison to my new markings. Long, red lines marked my back; a score of scratchings deep enough to be scabbed over in places. A half-dozen purple hickeys marked my chest and neck. I shivered, remembering the feel of her desperate half-kisses, half bites like an animal marking her kill while I-
I ducked underneath the water. Why was it so hot? I shouldn't have made it so hot. The scratches and the hickeys were... they were manageable. I'd just- tell Janice I was sick. That she couldn't sleep over at my place. Just for a couple of days-
Or you could pin her down onto the bed until she no longer cares about the hickeys.
I groaned and closed my eyes. Whatever was happening to me, it was like a sickness. It would fade eventually, like a cold or a fever, right? And if it didn't-
Janice moaned and thrashed as I dragged her to my bed. The haze gathered around her as I tore her clothing off. She stared up at me, confusion and fear giving way to a raw, animal lust. "Fuck me," her voice changed into a husky whisper I'd never heard from her before. "Fuck me and I promise I'll never be mean to you again-"
I groaned and turned off the water. I stepped out of the shower and looked down at my rising erection. Already? Seriously, already? It hadn't even been an hour and already my cock was ready for more. Even with my hormones in overdrive my body should have needed a little time to recover. I shouldn't have already felt my lust rising in a dim, ugly roar in the back of my mind, sullen embers gleaming red with renewed heat...
I wandered off to find some new clothes.

I was ten minutes late for brunch with Maxine. We had agreed to meet in a little café near Oxford Circus, down one of the many, many little side streets that branched off the northern end of Regents Street. It was bustling in a way that only a London Street on a hot Saturday morning could be, and as I entered I looked around for any signs of a gathering haze. Nothing; nothing but the usual gathering of tourists, families in for some weekend shopping, lone eaters and-
