"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!"
