Chapter 4
Freedom at last!
"Here they are! I've found Daren's secret videos!" Gloria laughed. Her eyes flashed reflecting her deep red hair with a look of the devil.
Nadine hesitated over the mundane task of making coffee for the horrible girl. Daren was only eighteen but he had her at his mercy, through blackmail, and Gloria had taken advantage of the situation. As soon as he left the apartment Gloria had dressed her up like a cheap whore dragging her out to a couple of computer geek friends.
She was still shaking from the dreadful act forced upon her by this young eighteen year old girl. She sucked their cocks dry, for money, and Gloria had pocketed the cash. They were back in Daren's apartment but she didn't feel safe. She felt so humiliated from being whored out she wanted to collapse in the corner and cry her eyes out.
Pulling herself together she poured extra milk in the coffee to cool it down as she needed to get rid of a nasty taste in her mouth. She had already rinsed and gargled then scrubbed her teeth with toothpaste on a finger, but the nasty salty taste of sperm still lingered in her mouth and nostrils.
"These are the disks he keeps his naughty photos and film on," Gloria announced.
A gleam of hope lit Nadine's eyes. If the young woman had found the damning pictures Daren had taken of her she would be free. Sometime ago she wondered if freedom from this sordid affair was really wanted but recently it had gone too far. He was becoming more demanding and she was giving in to him under the threat of blackmail.
"Here's your coffee, what's so interesting then?" Nadine asked, trying not to reveal a building excitement.
"These disks, they were just hidden among his music and movies," she laughed. "They're video's of Daren and me doing it. Right here in this apartment," Gloria said, looking over the place wistfully. "You too I guess."
Nadine almost spilled the coffee. She had been looking for a way into his computer for something nasty copied from his camera phone. The thought of all those sordid performances since then being recorded too, right here, was alarming.
"I don't think he would use them, I just don't like the idea of them existing. Are you all right? Sit down, put your head between your knees," Gloria saw her swaying as though swooning. With both arms around the woman Gloria guided her to the sofa.
"Didn't you know? He has miniature cameras all over the place," she explained, not making it any easier for Nadine to accept. "No! He doesn't keep anything on the computer, it's all right here. So it wasn't emails you were interested in on his computer. Relax, it's OK, we have the evidence now," Gloria laughed and rattled with a smokers cough.

That first time she had been so shocked over the thought of being exposed in public, and her husband finding out, she just caved in. She remembered him stroking her, soothing her anxiety, taking over the responsibility for what she had done that first evening.
Her husband had let them think she was his niece and a neighbour had arranged for her daughter to babysit. It had all started as a silly game, letting them babysit her, but it had ended with her being spanked like a naughty little girl. These two youngsters were in charge of her and she had enjoyed being controlled by them. The simple fact of enjoying being controlled was one of the reasons she let Daren control her, though she was still unaware of it.
Next morning he came round with naughty photos of her cavorting with Gloria and Daren then being spanked by him. She gave in to him without making a decision, just going along with it, letting him take her. Once he had used her that first time it was easier submitting to his demands, especially with the ever present threat of blackmail hanging over her.
Pictures of the rude things she had done for him recently flashed through her mind filling her with remorse. Any movies of them together would look as though she wanted to be there rather than being forced to submit. He had made her tell him what she wanted, awful vulgar sexual things and that was all on one of the disks Gloria was holding.
She had dressed in feminine frilly underwear, lewd hooker styles and see-through clothing. Her breasts had been on display over a quarter cup corset with her pussy hardly covered by a thong and a bare bottom. Another time she had arrived from an important business meeting dressed in an expensive business suit and danced a striptease for him.
As he became bored the demands became more humiliating. The filthy sexual acts where she debased herself were the worst. A recording of her crawling along the floor to his penis where she worshipped it with lips and tongue were on one of those disks. It just seemed so dreadful, it was overwhelming.

Outside Daren's apartment they stood chatting, smiling together at having escaped him at last. All thoughts of what Gloria had made her do were forgotten as the blackmail threat was finally broken. Nadine took a deep breath of air, free, invigorating, intoxicating air. "It's so easy to take for granted the simple things in life Gloria, just being alive is wonderful," Nadine smiled with pleasure.
Nadine felt like a young girl again with a best friend, enjoying each others company, sharing a wonderful moment. They both spoke together decrying Daren for blackmailing her, yet laughing at having broken free.
"We'll look at them to check I'm right and we have everything. I know he keeps nothing on the computer and that he only keeps one copy and this is it!" Gloria laughed.
"At least he didn't make you do things," Nadine said, her voice quavering with pent up emotion.
"How do you know what he did to me before you came along? OK! I admit it, he didn't dare!" Gloria snorted at the idea of Daren making her do anything she didn't want to. "I just didn't like the idea of him having photos and videos of us together, in case he decided to put them up on the web or something," she said, while rummaging around in her shoulder bag for a cigarette.
"So, what did he get you to do?" Gloria asked, with a smirk. She stopped fiddling on remembering she gave up a few days ago. She took a long cool look at the woman. Nadine wasn't as old as her mother, more attractive in a fresh innocent sort of way, but was a much more sensible and responsible woman. She wondered what Darren had on her and what they had been up to.
Nadine's face was red with embarrassment. She looked down at the ground between them after being reminded of the awful things she had done with Daren. She had only relented to those demands under the threat of having those disgusting pictures released into the community. It was embarrassing having Gloria know about it.
It was disturbing to think how completely she had submitted to him. An article in a Sunday magazine described how a kidnap victim became dependent upon the kidnapper until they identified with them and began to fully co-operate. Was this just a convenient excuse?
"From what I saw when I came in, you dressed up for him in sexy underwear, I never did that!" Gloria chuckled. "You must have enjoyed being with a young handsome man, otherwise you would have called his bluff," Gloria surmised.
"Maybe, yes, I did enjoy it at first," Nadine said with a wistful look in her eyes. It was natural to enjoy the attention and enjoy enthusiastic uninhibited sex with a young eighteen year old. What was so worrying was that she dropped her moral standards so completely, letting him do whatever he wanted with her.
"Come on don't think about it so much, just put it down to experience and move on," Gloria said, digging her in the ribs with a sharp elbow.
They burst into laughter, verging on hysteria as far as Nadine was concerned. It was an emotional relief and the suppressed feelings were bursting free. She would miss him though. She remembered him holding her tight and smiled.

It all happened so quick Nadine didn't take it in. She reached down to her new friend pulling her up off the footpath. She watched bemused as Gloria brushed herself down while cursing casually.
"Damn fucking idiot not looking where he's going. Where's my bag? Shit! Bastard! Fucking hell! Wait till I get a hold of you, I'll ring your fucking neck!" Gloria shouted down the now empty street.
Nadine looked around obviously bemused and a little battered from the shouted expletives exploding from the young woman. A young guy on a motorbike had grabbed Gloria's bag.
"Oh! No! He's grabbed the Disks!" Nadine wailed.
"Don't worry. He'll probably pull my wallet and dump the rest. I'll find out who it is for sure. It'll be one of my friend's brothers, or at least they will know who's got a noisy little bike," Gloria hissed through clenched teeth.

"You seem distracted, Nadine," one of the new directors commented. Joe had worked for her father for so many years he felt he had the privilege to use a first name.
"I'm just a little tired that's all," she smiled, trying to shake off the troubled thoughts. The meeting had droned on too long leaving her thoughts to wander over the last few days. Having handed over the family business to these directors there was no need for her to be there but they had invited her as a mark of respect.
Her father had built up the business from scratch into a thriving multi-national company and died a happy man. She knew the business inside out but had to back off its day to day affairs or follow her father into an early grave. It was still small enough that the individual employee counted but it was a substantial business ready to go public, needing careful professional management.
