This is my contribution to the
Karaoke Story event
Wolf Alice are a British Band. I saw them live when I was studying in London. Your Love's Whore was the first song they played in their set. The gig was at a point when they were on the cusp of becoming more well-known, and I have followed them ever since.
This story is based on my personal interpretation of the lyrics.

Megan sat up, rearranged her pillows, and then wriggled back down into them. That was better. She started again where she had left off, one hand between her spread thighs, another cupping a full breast, squeezing a little.
Closing her eyes, she tried to remember. Her lying just like this. The same bed. Matt above her, between her legs. Her raising her knees, opening.
Yes, that was good. Her fingers pushed down more firmly, rubbing from side to side. She found an already hardening nipple and pinched it. Mmm... just like that.
In her mind again, Matt kissed her. Kissed her like he had outside the bar. Then eased his hips towards her.
She gasped, both then and now, as his tip parted her and slid easily deeper. Fuck, that was good. That was what she had craved.
Megan's fingers moved quicker, her breath became shallow, little pants. She squeezed her now erect nipple hard.
Eyes tight shut, she recalled Matt starting to rock back and forth. Deeper and deeper. Her juices bathing him, lubricating him. Her body welcoming him in.
"Fuck me, Matt. Fuck me hard!"
She breathed to herself the words she had spoken aloud to him then.
Megan's hips stared to gyrate, her back began to arch away from the sheets. She bit her bottom lip. Yes, this was what she needed. Fuck, this was good...

Shit! That could be him.
Megan grabbed for her 'phone on the bedside table. She sent it clattering to the floor. Thank fuck for OtterBox!
Retrieving it, facial recognition didn't work, and Megan feverishly tapped in her passcode. She got it right the second time. One new message.
Your $18.94 Available Balance is less than your Low Cash Mode threshold.
Fuck! Where did the money go? Right, the present for Matt. The one that she couldn't really afford. Megan threw her 'phone onto the bed. Then it started chiming again.
Teams meeting in fifteen minutes. No time to shower, she would just have to do her best to not look too sweaty and flushed.
Megan grabbed some clothes from her dresser and closet, pulled a brush ineffectively through her tangled brown hair, and flipped open her laptop.
Matt! Fucking Matt! Why was he not replying to her messages? Was he ghosting her?
Megan's colleagues began to appear in little boxes. None of them looked like they were mid-masturbation. She tried to pull herself together, to focus on work.

Her and Matt had been a thing for a few weeks now. An on-off thing, Megan thought wryly. More off than on for him, it often seemed. But she told herself that a few weeks was good. Pretty soon, she'd break her own relationship record.
It was Friday now. Megan and Matt had last hooked up Tuesday night. It had been great, everything she wanted. And then nothing. And now the prospect of another weekend without getting laid.
Then, mid-afternoon another beep. This time her panicked rush to read was better rewarded; sort of.
Hi. Great fuck Tues. Weekend plans fell through. Want to meet for a drink?
Megan bridled. Consolation prize? What had happened? Had Matt been stood up by someone prettier than her? She composed a bitter reply.
You know what, asshole. Thanks for not calling. Drop dead.
Her finger quivered with anger as she hovered over the white arrow in a blue circle. Why was she hesitating? It was the minimum that self-respect demanded, surely.
Then she thought about Matt's hands on her, his lips on hers, his body inside hers. Most of all she thought about being curled up on the couch by herself and spending an evening not finding anything to watch on Netflix. What else was there to do in this deadout town? Sometimes Megan couldn't really believe that she lived here now.
She double tapped her screen, highlighting the text and typed a replacement message.
Hi Matt. Sure. Sounds great. Where? 😚😚😚
She deleted the last three characters before pressing send.

He was late. Of course he was late. Megan scanned the room. Burnished microbrewery tanks shone dimly from behind glass, floor-to-ceiling walls in a corner. A long bar traversed one wall. The opposite wall housed dark wooden booths, one of which she occupied. In between were high, round tables and stools.
The place wasn't full. There was a buzz of conversation and laughter, but it was far from raucous. There was the normal mix of college kids, some looking like their IDs weren't totally legit, a few groups of business types, and some older singletons. The artisanal weiss beer was good, at least. It was Megan's second glass.
Then a beep.
Sorry, babe. With you in ten. 😚
Megan stared at the emoji, her annoyance rapidly evaporating. Her fingers flickered over the screen, composing a reply. She reviewed her work.
That's OK. I'll get you a beer. An IPA, right? 😚
Focussing on the message's end, she told herself, 'don't chicken out, it's all good,' and sent it.
When Matt appeared, a second beer was waiting for him. He leaned and kissed Megan's cheek before sliding into the booth next to her.
"Sorry, Megan, I had to talk to a friend who was having some problems. You met Ben, right? All good now."
