Victor Spoils

She should have been enjoying herself.

The light blue wall, the back of the old, brown corduroy settee in front of her, her elbows on its cushions and him behind her, his large hands not that far from circling her entire waist. His prick inside her, moving in a strange insistent rhythm and his encouraging sounds.

Sarah was thinking that she should have been enjoying herself.

She should have been enjoying herself but she most certainly wasn't. When she thought why, Sarah reckoned that it could have been because it was too cold to be naked. But that shouldn't have been an issue, and it wouldn't have been an issue, not if her tooth hadn't been hurting. Now she was feeling self-conscious, aware of herself on this couch, sprawled out in front of Gavin, like an extension of his prick, and the whole point of sex was not to feel self-conscious. It was difficult, though, when your tooth was hurting and you were the recipient of Gavin's Hollywood-style seduction techniques; so obviously gleaned from the sections in formula videos when the music changes and the leading couple get it on. First, the foreplay; second, the penetration; third, the positions; fourth, the orgasms (simultaneous of course). When Gavin mumbled 'you're gorgeous' or 'you've got a great body', Sarah imagined that she should have been flattered, but this was done with the concentrated detachment of a wooden actor trying to remember his lines.

In the club last night he had been full of Ecstasy, which always helped. Gavin had made the point of kissing every girl in the company (which on this particular night meant every girl in the club), but with Sarah he'd slipped a bit of tongue into her mouth, soul into her eyes and let his hand linger on the small of her back where it seemed determined to set up residence.

To Sarah, such attentions were a welcome source of affirmation since her split from Victor. She'd recently grown half aware that guys were mistaking her pissed-off look for the less ambiguous 'keep-the-fuck-away-from-me' variety. So as the clubbers danced under the flashing lights and the loudspeakers pumped the latest throbbing bass lines through their bodies, Gavin and Sarah found themselves in an embrace as welcoming as it was surprising.

Gavin was entranced by the fluid suggestiveness of Sarah's eyes and the mesmerising movement of her red-glossed lips as she spoke. She, in
