![]() A contradiction in terms if ever there was one. I was working freelance in advertising all through this period in London. The deeper in they were, the more beautiful they looked when the moment came. All those intimate moments, every little sigh, those gentle touches, the lovemaking, the confidences, the orgasms, the attempted orgasms-all mere fuel. There was just the two of us and the pain. All the pretense and rules dissolved away. They’d just stare at me in disbelief and shock. He’d done it, though, because I’d been taking the pith out of hiths listhp. I was lucky to get out of that house alive. One of my “victims” stuck my head on an electric cooker ring.
