"They can't do this Jake!" I screamed, unable to move. "They went out of business! They can't start making tapes of me again!"
Jake was fumbling with the remote, but finally hit the MUTE button on the TV to cut off my rising moans, even though the commercial moved on ten seconds later to destroying some other young woman's life. "Don't worry, honey! We'll send a Cease and Desist letter to them first thing in the morning! You just have to remember, did you sign a limited rights contract? Or a waiver of perpetuity?"
"I can't remember!" I screamed, slapping the bed. "Jake! We have to sue them! We have to stop this!"
"Suing them will take months," he said, getting out bed. "But if we can find an address to deliver that letter..."
We looked up the company information on Jake's laptop, since my iPad lay shattered on the floor. I grabbed my phone and called the office number as soon as we found it, but didn't get any one because, of course, it was the middle of the night.
Jake was stroking my back, like he did when I was in labor with Skyler. "We'll try again in the morning, honey. We'll get them to take you off that commercial."
"But how many more times will it air tonight?" I was getting hysterical.
This couldn't be happening! Not now!
"And how many more people in town will see it?!"
I didn't have the same hairstyle now that I did back then. But my face, my voice, those D cup tits Mr. Butterman had probably memorized the shape of, even that little beauty mark on my upper lip that Jake loved to kiss- it was all there in that fifteen second clip!
Anyone who saw that commercial would know it was me!
"It's probably just on this one cable channel," Jake said, swallowing. "And it's nearly midnight. No one will see it."
"We just did!"
He rubbed my back some more. "Even if it airs five times an hour between now and 4 AM, the ratings for these channels at night... it's no more than a zero point two share, so a few hundred thousand people at the most."
"Few hundred thousand!"
"Across the whole country. The chances of it being anyone we know would be like winning the lottery."
I was shaking. No one besides Jake and my old roomate Kelly knew about me making that tape! And now
everyone
would!
"All we can do is serve them in the morning with a Cease and Desist. Please, just come back to bed, Susan."
I did, but barely slept at all that night.

Jake left early to try and get some paperwork for the C&D ready and I called that horrible company's office number at 7 AM, then 7:30, 8 and 8:30. I refused their recorded request to leave a voice mail every time, because the hell if I was going to spill my guts to a machine.
At 9:05, a perky, helium-voiced girl finally answered with a giggle. "Hello, this is the new 'Good Girls Flashing'. How may I
serve
you?"
She said 'serve' in the most slutty-baby way possible.
"I..." I started, then stopped. I hadn't actually thought about what I was going to say! "I need to speak to someone... in charge!"
"Oh? You want to be in one of our upcoming videos?"
"No!" I cried. "I'm already..." I looked in the driveway, to make sure Skyler's car was gone. "I'm already
in
one of your videos- the one in a commercial I just saw late last night!"
"Oh, the 'We're back' commercial! Yep! We just started airing it last week."
Last week!
Oh god, how many people-
"Well, I'm
in
it! And I never agreed to be! And I need to talk to someone, so that they can take me
out
of that commercial, immediately!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh," the helium girl said, recognition slowly dawning, and then I heard the tapping of nails on a keyboard.
Long, fake, cherry red press-on nails, no doubt.
"Okay, what's your name?"
I blushed. Of course she would need to ask that! But the words still stuck in my throat.
"Susan. Susan Duncan. But you'll have me in your records under my maiden name. Keller."
More tapping.
"And your address?"
Jake and I had lived in five different places since college. I thought I left behind this life forever! But now some seedy porn company would have my name and address in their database again!
I told her.
"Best phone to reach you at?"
God help me if they called the house and Skyler picked up! I gave her my cell.
More tapping. "Okay. And... which girl are you?"
"Excuse me?!"
She laughed. "Which girl on the commercial are you? How would we know which part to take out otherwise?"
My face was burning; my breath was coming in short strokes. I couldn't believe I was saying this!
"I'm... I'm the one maturbating on the bed."
"With a butt plug or without?"
"Without!"
"Oh, you're
'dirty little pussy'
girl?" she laughed. "I love your tits! I wish I had a set just like those!"
My whole face was on fire! "Thanks."
"The CEO really likes that clip too," this air-headed girl said, typing in the background. "I saw him showing it to some investors last week. You came like sooo hard at the end of it- everyone clapped!"
My naked body was being used as fundraising material?
For investors?
And they had probably watched the un-censored version too!
This was getting worse by the second!
The girl on the phone giggled. "In fact, I bet... yeah, let me just check something real quick!"
I was put on hold then, nothing but a stupid housewife wearing only a sleepshirt and a robe, clutching a phone to her ear like it was a liferaft that would save her from this humiliation.
"Okay!" the girl chirped after a minute. "Corey Franky has agreed to meet with you!"
"Who's that?"
She laughed. "The CEO of Good Girls Flashing, silly. Are you free today at 2?"
The CEO!
Should I meet him without Jake there?
But if had agreed to meet me so quickly, it must be to apologize and take that clip down!
If he was going to put up a fight, he'd take time to call his own lawyers, drag things out, ask for money or something... But the helium-voiced girl hadn't put me on hold for more than a minute. He had to want this over as much as I did!
"Where are you located?"
"Fort Lauderdale. In the shopping center with a law office and this Asian church thingy..."
Ft. Lauderdale was only an hour away.
And it was also where my roommate had gotten me to make that stupid tape all those years ago.
"Fine, fine," I said, cutting off the impossibly convoluted directions the girl was giving me. "Just tell me the address and I'll find it."
She did, then added, "Oh, and Corey had one request you had to follow before he'll agree to meet with you today."
Was I wrong? Was he going to ask me to not bring a lawyer?! "What?"
The girl on the phone giggled. "You're not allowed to wear any panties."
***
This was ridiculous. People didn't do business this way!
But Jake had agreed that meeting the CEO was the fastest way to get things done. Usually Cease and Desist letters went to a company's Legal team, which wrote a counter letter, which required a response... all while my face and body would be on that horrible commercial, showing my goodies to everyone!
I didn't tell Jake about the no-panties rule.
But sitting in the parking lot of the new Good Girls Flashing at 1:45 that day, between the offices of some swank law firm and a Filipino-American church, I found myself debating whether or not to wear them.
It was a horrible request.
It was sexist, demeaning, msyogyinst!
I mean, there was no way in hell he was going to
check,
right? I'd die before I let that happen!
But if the CEO suddenly refused to meet with me and referred this whole thing to his legal team, we could be stalled here for weeks...
I looked around; the parking lot was half-busy. Men in power suits went in and out of the glass-fronted law firm. A few immigrants in their Sunday best were entering the church. And there were a few joggers that were going to go right by my car too!
I blushed, waiting for the joggers to pass, but another set started coming by from the other way.
Then some more, just a minute later.
Why did this town have so many damned joggers?!
I looked at the clock, not wanting to be late, and finally yanked my panties down my legs and off my feet, just before another set of people ran by! I re-smoothed my conservative, ankle-length dress, made sure my buttoned-up knit sweater covered everything up top, and stepped out of my car, my heart pounding and my face bright red, hoping none of those joggers had seen me stuffing my panties into my glove compartment!
I was a professional woman, running for town office, and now I was walking down a sidewalk in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, my pussy naked under my dress!
And it felt like everyone could tell!
