HUNGER THAT MUST BE FED 17

KATE WANTED TO die. She hoped that she might actually be dead and that her liberated soul was looking down on her lifeless body in sad contemplation of its ruination. Except her body wasn’t ruined. It was washed, scrubbed and refreshed by what little sleep she had been able to summon. And now, like an automaton, it was heading towards the City, taking her to work as it had done on countless previous occasions.

It was her soul that was ruined, she thought. The little, vital part of her that dictated her self-esteem and her raison a’étre. As she trudged along the concourse towards the offices of Courtenay de Witt, she realised that she now knew she had only one specifically defined reason for existing. She existed not as a person but as a gap surrounded by nothingness and to be filled by everything. That was, she supposed, what she must always have wanted. It had taken her so long to get there because she had let her intellect interfere, had let herself pretend that she had a brain to

    SHE WAS READY when the doorbell rang. Ready and waiting. She had spent the last hour in the Mayfair flat, finalising her plans, preparing to do to Nero what he had done to her. She smiled at the prospect. Thanks to the man from the opera, the prospect looked a great deal more attractive than it had earlier in the day. She had been right to suspect that Nero would be devious in every area of his life; right in her supposition that he would cover his tracks in everything he did. But now she had uncovered them. Now she was the huntress and he was her prey. She held all the cards. Once again, she had the power. She smiled as she answered the door. So did Nero. She was charming to him as she ushered him inside and offered him a drink. He was polite to her. They chatted, made small talk. She could tell from the expression in his eyes that he was enjoying toying with her. She hoped he couldn’t read the expression in her eyes. He was playing a waiting game. So was she. He broke first. ‘You

    Ten minutes later she decided she no longer had any need to be quiet. And Nero, she reflected gleefully, was about to have a very loud and rude awakening. She smiled and lifted the whip. It came down gently but right on target — right across the middle of Nero’s back. She saw his body flinch as his brain was snatched out of sleep to send messages screaming all over his body. The message that reached his mouth was loudest. Kate had never heard a man cry out with such force. It was a bellow of rage more than agony. Nero didn’t know what was happening to him. She hit him again, this time with even less force. The thought of what she could do with the instrument was far more pleasurable than any actual pain she inflicted. She didn’t want to hurt his body. She wanted to hurt his mind. Nero tried to escape. Kate saw his legs strain and his arms try desperately to give some sort of protection to his exposed back. Yet it was impossible. She had done her work well. Nero’s hands were securely

    MILES COURTENAY’S SUICIDE made headline news. His disgrace, on the other hand, was not aired in public. Charles Grant, the new company chairman, decided that Courtenay de Witt could easily ride out the losses he had incurred. For all of their sakes, he pleaded, the facts of the case should remain secret. It wasn’t difficult to keep them secret — few people knew them. And only one person knew them all. ‘There’s something,’ said Mark to Kate as they walked out of Charles’s office, ‘that you’re not telling me, isn’t there?’ ‘Mmm?’ Kate, feigning disinterest, didn’t look round. ‘Come on, Kate. Don’t play games with me. You marched into Miles’s office yesterday after your “day’s research”, and half an hour later Miles resigned. I simply don’t believe one day was enough for you to trawl through the records of God knows how many dodgy holding companies to get incontrovertible proof against him. You must have had something else - what was it?’ It was a tape, she thought. A tape from whic

    (A short story)THEY WERE PAYING her triple rate for Christmas Eve. Triple rate and reduced hours ... and there was no way on earth she was earning it! The Logicorp Party had been such a sedate affair that the fall-out of canapés, crisps and other assorted mess was minimal. To Nattie Romaine, it almost seemed like cheating to take the extra money, but as the company’s Japanese masters had no idea of what constituted a proper seasonal bash in the first place, and were prepared to pay top whack to any person who’d come in and clean up afterwards, how could a poor hard-up student resist? Especially a student who’d nowhere to go on Christmas Eve anyway. Under normal circumstances, Nattie would’ve. told them to shove it. But circumstances weren’t normal this year, and when the domestic supervisor had said, ‘Any chance you could do Christmas Eve, Natalia?’ Nattie had grimly confirmed she could. To be alone and sulking tonight was ideal. She’d purposedly not gone home for Christmas, so th

    (A short story)I NEVER REALISED I could be this happy, thought Madeleine blissfully as she accepted a peach from Delrina’s golden bowl. Laying aside her book, she bit into the fruit’s velvet skin, and as its ripe, sweet taste exploded on her tongue she sighed with pleasure, and felt the peach-juice dribble over her chin and drip down on to the slope of her breast. Licking her lips, and taking another large bite, she lolled back amongst the silk-covered cushions, - Closed her eyes, and remembered how she’d come to this place... ***It'd all begun when her father couldn’t pay the Prince's tribute. The shame had been terrible, but there’d been worse to come when the Royal Chamberlain had suggested a solution. Madeleine hadn’t known which to fear the most: year after year of debt and dishonour as her family struggled to find the money, or the total surrender of her body when she entered the Prince’s service. Madeleine had heard tales of such delicate arrangements, but had always dismi

    (A short story)IT WAS THE most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, but all it made me do was want to cry. I ran my fingers slowly over the lace, the boning, and the tiny appliqué flowers, and wondered what on earth had possessed me to buy something so ridiculous, so expensive and so useless. It was too late now, the time for sexy lingerie was long past. Not even a pure silk, gunmetal blue basque could salvage the ruins of my marriage. I'd sent for it on impulse, from a flyer that'd fallen out of a magazine. It was one of those ‘today’s woman’ glossies that I’d bought for an article on ‘Putting the Spice Back into your Relationship’. I was clutching at straws really ~ doubly so in the case of the basque — because | don’t think I’ve ever finished one of those oh-so-helpful articles. They all seemed so unreal and pretentious, as if they were written for tall blonde superwomen who wouldn't have problems in the first place, and probably wore slinky undies anyway. Even so, I’d sent for the ba

    ENGLAND IS A STRANGE old place: wonderful, fascinating, but strange. And I think I found the very strangest part of it, that summer when I stayed at Flitwick Hall. I was running away, really, running as far and fast as I could from heavy emotional troubles. So that beautiful and magical house, far away across the Atlantic in England, seemed like just the kind of hideout I needed. The invitation to visit the Flitwicks, my English relations, had been around for years. I’d always wanted to visit them, but until that summer I'd never had the chance. When I finally turned up, it was purely a spur of the moment thing, and consequently the house was all but empty. There was only a skeleton staff in residence, to take care of one nutty, reclusive old great-aunt I'd never even known that I had. My troubles? A man, naturally, and the heartache of love turning bad. Ellery and I had been a hot number for a year, a solid couple so I thought, but one day we'd suddenly started arguing, then reali

    (A short story)Dear Jeremy, I can’t thank you enough for handing in my pendant. You can’t imagine how much it means to me. A money reward seems sordid somehow, so may I treat you to a night out instead? I’ve enclosed details of where and when we can meet, and I look forward to showing my appreciation: my PROFOUND appreciation. Anna Caspell (Mrs) When he'd first read the letter, Jem Hathaway had been disappointed. The pendant he’d handed in must've cost a fortune and he’d been hoping for a cash reward. It was a bit of a mystery how a thing so obviously expensive had turned up outside his scruffy dump —the house he shared with half a dozen other guys, all equally as hard up as he was ~ but he hadn’t asked questions, just dropped it in at the local police station. He was puzzled too, by the bobby-on-duty’s reaction. The man had grinned broadly. No, he’d smirked from ear to ear as if someone had cracked a dirty joke, told Jem there was a reward, then nudged his mate behind the counter

    ‘I'm off to bed,’ Harriet told Rowena. ‘It was a lovely evening.’ Rowena peered at her through the smoke of one of her rare cigarettes. ‘Did you enjoy it? You don’t look very happy.’ ‘I’m just tired. I’m not used to such late hours!’ ‘Have you seen my brother?’ ‘Chris went into the garden,’ Harriet told her. Rowena smiled. ‘He's drunk too much. I'll say goodnight to Lewis for you; he’s busy right now.’ The woman with her laughed. ‘He certainly is. Marita keeps most men busy. She nearly killed my husband last year!’ Rowena’s laughter joined her friend’s and Harriet fled upstairs, certain that they were secretly mocking her. She lay awake until six in the morning but Lewis didn’t join her, and she guessed then that the story must have been true and Marita had kept him busy. At first she wept, but then she told herself that crying was useless. A man like that was bound to be used to casual affairs — what she had to do was make herself indispensable to him, no matter what was nece

    FOR THE NEXT two nights Lewis spent hours in either Harriet’s or his own room, bringing her time and again to the heights of ecstasy she had come to expect from him, and every time she climaxed, every time he taught her something new, she was bound more closely to him. The fact that he was slowly being bound more closely to her was something Lewis chose to ignore. Then, on the Saturday, everything changed. Harriet had been surprised to be invited to the dinner party, and had cancelled her planned evening with Ella because she didn’t want to miss the chance of a genuine film star’s party. Ella green with envy, had understood but demanded a full report in exchange for being let down. ‘I want to hear all about what Rowena wore, ate, drank and how she behaved,’ she told Harriet. ‘Of course. I'll tell you about Lewis too.’ ‘I’m sure you will,’ said Ella, who already had her suspicions about Harriet and the star's husband. When they finally sat down to dinner, Harriet found that she wa

    Lewis’s own erection had now subsided but at the sight of Harriet being aroused to new and only dimly understood heights, he felt himself start to stir again. As the startling feelings continued to grow, Harriet’s breasts began to ache and after only a slight hesitation she reached up, drawing Lewis’s head down towards her. ‘Tell me what you want,’ he murmured. ‘My breasts,’ she moaned, thrusting them up towards his mouth. “They ache.’ ‘And what do you want me to do about it?’ he teased. Harriet didn’t know if she could tell him, but the insistent clamouring of her needy flesh won over her deeply ingrained reticence at vocalising her desires. ‘Suck them for me, Lewis, please.’ ‘Hard or soft?’ he asked, his hand still continuing its pressing movements and his finger drawing up the clitoral hood as he worked so that he could brush lightly across the top of the exposed nub. ‘Hard!’ she begged, her body now nothing but a pressurised aching need for the final stimuation that would a

    THAT EVENING CHRIS and Rowena went to the opera. Lewis hated opera. ‘Good music spoilt by bad acting,’ was his opinion and nothing he saw ever made him change his mind. After they'd gone he went in search of Harriet and found her reading a book in the comfort of the drawingroom. ‘We've got the house to ourselves,’ he said with a smile. ‘How would you like a nice bath? We can use the tub in Rowena’s bathroom - it’s meant for two.’ Harriet lifted her eyes from the page. ‘I had a shower this morning, thanks.’ For a moment Lewis couldn’t believe he’d heard her correctly. “You don’t have to be dirty,’ he said with a laugh. ‘It’s meant to be a sensual pleasure.’ Harriet smiled in an absent-minded way. ‘I’m sure it would be, but I’m a bit tired tonight.’ Since nothing in his imaginary script had prepared Lewis for this he was totally at a loss. ‘I'd like it,’ he said slowly. ‘Doesn’t that matter to you?’ With a soft sigh Harriet put the book to one side. ‘Of course it does, Lewis, but

    Harriet felt that she was going to explode. Her body was being racked by liquid fire and then the incessant drumming of the pulse between her legs changed to a startlingly intense tingling that felt hot and rushed upwards through her with terrifying speed. She shouted out loud, knowing that she could no longer keep her body still even to please this man who meant so much to her. At the sound Lewis moved his fingers to the side of her clitoris and rubbed the slippery tissue with tiny circular motions as he moved in and out of her, his own body straining for relief from the continuous sexual tension as much as Harriet’s. It was Harriet who came first and as her body went taut with the first fierce contractions of her orgasm her vaginal walls contracted tightly around Lewis so that she felt as though she was milking him. She heard him groan and then he was thrusting without thought for her, thrusting solely to give himself the satisfaction that he knew Harriet was about to get. Harri

    LEWIS STARED AT Harriet, hiding his anger behind a mask of indifference. Inwardly he was raging, not only at the fact that she had come into the room uninvited but also at his own stupidity in allowing Rowena to persuade him to make love to her at a time when he should have been concentrating solely on Harriet. ‘Rowena will be with you in a moment,’ he said smoothly, his arousal dissipating at great speed. Harriet’s eyes were wide and she stared at her employer as Rowena, ignoring the younger woman's presence, continued to move herself up and down on Lewis until with a cry of pleasure her body gave itself over to the warm flooding joy of orgasm. Harriet knew that she should leave the room but her legs seemed unable to move. She stayed rooted to the spot watching Rowena’s total abandonment to her sexuality. She felt almost consumed by envy, having spent most of her waking hours imagining what her next sexual encounter with Lewis would be like. Now she was forced to face the fact tha

    Harriet was shocked by his casual acceptance of what they’d seen. Rowena was his wife, and even an open marriage didn’t usually include letting your wife have sex with her half-brother. She decided he was simply good at hiding his emotions, and that this was the only way he could cope with the situation. She was wrong. Lewis was drawn to Rowena sexually; like most men he admired her body and found her sexual magnetism alluring, but emotionally he was untouched by her. Their marriage had suited him as much as it suited her. The joining together of his analytical, muchadmired director's brain and her renowned sexuality and beauty had attracted almost as much attention in Hollywood as Marilyn Monroe’s marriage to Arthur Miller. Looking into the bedroom again, Harriet realised that Rowena’s first priority didn’t seem to be freedom from her bonds so much as freedom from her frustration, for once she failed to loosen her wrists she got to her feet and stood in front of one of the bed-post

    WHEN LEWIS LED Harriet into a tiny room two doors down the landing from his bedroom she thought first that she was in a cupboard, but as her eyes grew accustomed to the darkness she realised that it had originally been intended as a dressing room, although the adjoining door had now been filled in. There was little furniture there, only a high backed chair and a two-seater settee in front of a square window, which let in no light at all. She turned to Lewis in bewilderment. ‘What is this room?’ ‘Sit here next to me on the sofa and look carefully at the window,’ he said softly. Puzzled, she stared at the glass, and after a few seconds realised that she was looking into a distinctly feminine bedroom lavishly decorated in various shades of lilac. As she watched, a figure crossed her line of vision, and she saw Rowena walking totally naked from her adjoining bathroom back to her bed. Harriet ducked down and Lewis laughed. ‘She can’t see you, it’s a two-way mirror.’ ‘You mean, anyone

    Every nerve in Harriet’s body seemed to be alive now. She was trembling with excitement and frantic for more intimate touches but when she reached for his hand to try and move it where she wanted he shook his head. ‘It’s better to wait,’ he assured her. In the adjoining room Chris felt his own breathing quicken. Lewis was playing her with consummate skill, and her restlessly moving legs and upthrusting young breasts were testimony to her arousal. He himself was hard, and longed to be allowed to join in, to take the girl in the ways that he liked, the ways that kept Rowena enthralled. He was surprised by his reaction. Normally he would simply have wanted Rowena more than ever, but he knew that he was going to have to have Harriet before too long. At last Lewis took pity on Harriet and lightly kneaded some of the lotion into each of her breasts in turn. He heard her breath catch in her throat and her eyes were grateful. Then, to Harriet’s surprise, he moved himself up the bed so that
