I had said that simple ‘Yes’, less than 24 hours ago, knowing that I had agreed to an outrage, and saying yes anyway. Was I more alive, now, because of having made that choice— done something that took me away from the deathly routine of the only kind of a job that a girl with multiple drug felonies was ever likely to get? Or, much more disturbing, was it the wildness of the outrages that had woken me up?

Fawzia and Alina, Scene 3
Alina is managed by Susie, and finds it all too easy to go along…
It seemed ridiculous that this could be happening, and at the same time inevitable, irresistible, as she let Suzie direct her, as if in a dream.

CommentsThe Story of Odile Pt14.
She is confronted with the enormity of what she has offered herself into, and wonders if she can be what Andrew requires of her..
Like a small miracle, she was rewarded for this abject surrender to her depair with a realisation. It wasn’t Andrew who had made her into this shameful thing, this weak, dirty whore; she had been like this all along, underneath; it was not possible that Andrew should have degraded her in such a short time if she was not already what He had seen in her.

CommentsThe Story of Odile Pt15.
Odile has to accept that her flatmate, Lauren, will know something about what Odile has become. Odile can't bear it, but cannot let herself fail in her commitments to Andrew.
Odile wanted to run away; either that, or go to her knees and tell everything. But neither were possible, and so, her voice hesitant and husky, she tried to explain; ‘It … its my … it’s this … this man. He … He has … requirements.’

CommentsThe Story of Odile Pt16.
Nadia's assessment of Odile's preparation of herself is thorough, mechanical, and painful. Odile is horrified, but pathetic in her submission.
Odile let out an involuntary squeal, which rapidly turned into a soft, strangled wail— violently suppressed, as she desperately did not want Lauren to hear anything at all of this— as, without the slightest warning or explanation, some cool, hard, angular object was firmly pushed against the folds of her inner labia.

CommentsThe Story of Odile Pt17.
Odile is introduced to a new level of 'pathetic'.
It was awful, awful, to find herself so frightened, so pathetically subservient to Nadia, to experience such stress over such small disapproval, to have been so completely and effortlessly subordinated; but there was nothing else in Odile’s body but a desperate, humiliating desire to please.

CommentsJustine, Pt1.
We meet Justine, who has an insane and disturbing proposition to make a decision about, and we learn about her background.
The unacceptable reality, the truth which she cannot hide from herself, but also cannot endure, is that it was her who had asked the questions. Her who had driven it— at least at the start. That as soon as she had stopped responding, they had suggested a change of subject.

CommentsJustine, Pt2.
Justine's turmoil intensifies; we learn about Sir Stephen, and something about his part in how she has come to be in turmoil.
Stefan had made his decision, and this conversation only reinforced it. She was suitable. Her chances of having a meaningful life were better his way. Even if it would be the sort of meaning that he appreciated, and very different indeed to the kind of ‘special’ that Ulya had hoped for her child.

CommentsJustine, Pt3.
Justine's year as an upmarket au-pair, during which she begins to think of herself as a sexual being.
It was beginning to be a little of an obsession with her, wondering if, before the summer was out, one of them would find a way to proposition her, and if she would find it possible to say ‘yes’— not just freeze like a silly little almost-virgin.
