Into the dumpster went the Doc Martens. The torn mesh stockings. Most of the make-up. The gaudy jewelry. Only the leather miniskirt remained, she liked that and it hugged her very nice ass. Mallory knew her own strengths, although it had taken her a while to become aware of them.
That was it.
Mistress Melancholy
, Goth Queen, was no more. Mallory was back, and truth be told, she was glad of it. It was hard work being bleak all the time, she laughed.
For five years, she'd been living a lie, but she had thought the price she paid was worth the reward.
Lord Damian
had made her heart beat faster, there was something about his darkness that drew Mallory to him and his dark world. His unholy presence drew her in, when he spoke, everything he said seemed fascinating, although bleak, it seemed to possess some spiritual wisdom. They had been together all throughout High School and into University, vowing to be together, despite Mallory's parents loathing the young man they thought shallow, pretentious and unworthy of their daughter. Mallory's mother had prayed she'd see through the shallow veneer of
Duncan's
personality. From Day One, Lizette had refused to call her daughter's boyfriend by his pretentious Goth nickname.
Mallory caught "Damian" fucking the cute, California-blonde cheerleader, Mandy. Mallory was furious, and stormed out without him even knowing she was there. First of all, she had been faithful all the years they'd been together, no other man had touched her in that time. To make matters worse, the peppy blonde was Mallory's own
cousin
. When he called that night, she hung up on him. He called back, but she told her parents to make something up, which was no trouble for either of them - her father had loathed "Damian" on sight and her mother had thought him shallow, pretentious and - in her mother's unique words - "a real creepo". Mallory had her first laugh at that, her mother's humor always cheered her up. Lizette tried to get her daughter to forgive Mandy, as she and her sister were very close and she didn't want the girls at odds, but Mallory wasn't entertaining that idea.
Mallory had not officially broken up with Duncan yet, she wanted to let him have it and she wanted to choose her words carefully. Beforehand though, she wanted to look like Mallory again, so she got rid of her Goth clothes. Her parents were more than happy to provide the funds for her transformation back to Mallory and towards a new wardrobe. Both her parents were trust-fund babies, although both worked hard at their respective jobs.
She was happy that one of her closest friends, Jill, was a hairstylist, because it took more than a few hours to remove the black from her hair. She couldn't go back to her original blonde just yet, but Mallory settled on a long, wavy auburn shade she and Jill thought suited her quite well. She could already see the long-buried persona of kind, sweet, sometimes-sassy Mallory beginning to re-emerge.
Mallory had always liked to shop and she now had a good excuse. She dropped a few pounds during her Goth days - the gaunt look seemed to appeal to
Damian
and she tried to maintain a haunted look that she now wanted to see gone forever. Jill had thought ahead on that and called another friend, a cosmetics consultant who told Mallory she had great material to work with. That was true - Mallory had beautiful, green eyes that had almost an almond shape to them and high cheekbones. Within an hour, a stunning young lady was again seeing the light of day. The girls didn't charge her full price either, leaving Mallory with more money to work with.
Mallory's next decision was to start getting rid of the white skin she'd had all these years and get some color. After buying herself one of the skimpiest silver bikinis she had ever seen, she got back in her car and headed off to the beach. She was totally unprepared for what - or rather,
who
- awaited her there.
She got to the beach, put on a generous amount of Sun Block, her shades and a floppy hat and as she walked down the beach she had not seen in years, there was Mandy walking towards her with an impressive bodybuilder-type in tow. She lowered her head and tried to remain incognito, but it was no use. Her cousin spotted her, she turned on her heels, but Mandy called out.
"Mallory! Please Mally, don't run. I need to speak with you!"
Mallory turned on her heels, anger crossing her face. "Okay - so speak. What the
fuck
could you possibly have to say to me?" Mandy looked at her cousin with obvious distress showing on her lovely face.
Mandy kicked a small pile of sand as she stood, face-to-face, with the younger cousin whose boyfriend she had fucked. The bodybuilder stood a small distance away, sensible enough not to get in the middle of this.
"Okay, I deserved that. Mallory, I want to tell you I'm sorry. I had no business fucking Damian. I know you saw us - I saw you and I'm really sorry. After you ran out, I confronted him - the fucker had told me you'd broken up. The little creep admitted the truth, I kicked him in the nuts so hard his children will be born sterile."
Despite her anger, Mallory laughed at the comment. She said "Even if we
had
broken up Mandy, you shouldn't have fucked him."
"I know and I really, really am sorry. But you know what? You can do so much better, quite frankly, he's a
lousy
fuck."
Mallory said in an uncharacteristic quiet tone "I wouldn't known, I have no basis for comparison."
"Holleeee shit." Mandy said. "He was your first?" Mallory nodded.
"Oh damn, he might be okay for a first, but cuz, I have to tell ya, there are
wayyy
fucks out there, believe me. Like Teddy over there."
Mandy waved at her companion, who waved back to both girls. "He's good in the sack, huh?" Mallory asked.
"Oh, he's damned good - I train them well." Mandy giggled. "Do you want to find out?"
"Umm -- excuse me, did I hear that right?" Mallory responded. "Are you offering to lend me your boyfriend?"
Mandy laughed. "He's not my boyfriend -- I like to stay a free agent. He's a guy I fuck and he's damned good and I was wondering if you'd like to fuck him?"
Mallory was taken aback -- first, she'd only been with one other guy besides Damian / Duncan and second, she was still a bit pissed at Mandy. She kicked her foot from side-to-side in the sand.
Mandy could sense her cousin's indecision, so she sweetened the pot. "Look -- a bunch of us are going out clubbing tomorrow night, why don't you doll yourself up -- not that you need much of that now, wow! -- and join us? If you think after that you'd like to screw the big guy, you can. It's the least I can do, even if it was Damian who fucked us both over!"
Mallory knew she could use a night out and also knew she had loads more money to spend on some new clothes, so she figured, why not combine the two. She smiled and Mandy and nodded, the other girl took her hand and shook it. "You'll have a good time hon, I promise -- and if you're not into Teddy, I have lots of other friends who'd love a chance to get with a honey like you!" she winked at Mallory.
Mallory didn't sleep well that night -- she was too excited over her little adventure, so she was up and out of the house bright and early the next morning. She made her way to some of the trendiest boutiques and did quite well, having an eye for bargains. She got new minis, stockings, shoes and all sorts of things that were guaranteed to draw attention -- she wanted Duncan to hear just what a hottie she'd turned into and just what he'd. The next time she saw him, before she dumped his ass, he'd eat his heart out.
It was a tough decision for Mallory to decide what to wear -- she'd never been out dancing in her life, Damian thought that it wasn't "Goth" -- she figured now he likely couldn't dance.
Christ
, she thought,
what did I ever see in him
? With her body still lean and toned from riding her bike and with a few more curves, she hit on it -- she would still wear black, but not the drab black of days past. This would be a fab, sexy, get-lots-of-attention, black.
Mallory put on a pair of black leather pants so tight she could barely breathe -- no panties, even though she'd purchased more than a few naughty pairs. She already felt horny with those on, so she donned a black-leather bustier that matched, leaving a few strings strategically untied. She already got a bit tan, so she was glad her midriff was bare. Stilettos, mmm-hmm, those were a must. She took time to skillfully apply her eye makeup as the girl had taught her to do yesterday, her green eyes were now sparkling and made her an object of desire.
Mallory was glad her parents weren't home, there might have been a lot of questions - and her mother might have figured out things she wasn't ready to talk about yet. Lizette and she had a very open relationship, but there were questions that Mallory didn't want to answer at the moment. She got in the car and drove to the club that Mandy had specified. It was packed, but she found Mandy and her friends at the spot they'd specified. Mallory felt a pang of pride -- of the group, she and Mandy were by far the hottest, the men couldn't keep their eyes from the two women. Mandy's gal-pals were nice enough, but their envy was quite obvious. Still, the group was having a good time and none of the girls was even slightly catty towards the newcomer.
A few guys asked her to dance and she obliged, dancing was fun and she seemed to have natural rhythm, thank Goodness! From time to time, Mallory thought she felt her cousin Mandy's eyes watching her, but she figured her cousin was just keeping a watchful eye out for her. Teddy glanced over from time to time and acknowledged her, but he seemed to spend most of his time attending to Mandy, whatever she wanted, he provided. Her pretty blonde cousin seemed to have the big guy wrapped around her little finger. That came as little surprise to Mallory - both her mother Lizette and her aunt Brigitte had the same effect on men, Mallory's father included.
The night was drawing to a close and Mandy leaned over and whispered in Mallory's ear "So -- think you want to fuck him?"
Feeling silly and bold and wanting to shock Mandy, Mallory responded "Suppose I said I want to fuck
you
more?"
Without missing a beat, Mandy said "Suppose I said you could have
