Reunited ch. 3 - Terence's Comeback

“Hey! Hey! Two can play at that game!” Terence laughed as Lisa smeared the icing on the slice of wedding cake on Terence’s face. He managed to steal a bit from her hand and smear it on her lips, except that she licked it up.

They laughed and smiled as one of Lisa’s friends snapped a picture of Terence with icing smeared across his cheek, as he smiled and held a laughing Lisa close by.

Terence turned to face her and took in her ravishing beauty. She usually dressed very conservatively, and didn’t show much cleavage, but the stiff corset of her wedding dress held her breasts up as if to present them, and it just barely came up from under her breasts to cover her nipples. It looked like one could just reach in to her dress and scoop out her massive tits.

“I love you,” Terence said in a moment of heartfelt sincerity, and the few friends and ****** around said, “awww.” Lisa smiled a big, bright smile, and kissed him passionately on the mouth, even licking a little of the icing as she did. It was a little bit intense for a kiss in public, but no one minded as they were all taken in by the glowing love between the groom and the bride.

It was a small wedding, as Terence and Lisa couldn’t afford anything too elaborate. Most of the money came from Lisa’s side of the ******, as Terence didn’t have many friends, and had lost touch with most of his ******. Lisa was a regular member of the congregation, and popular because of all her good work, so the church helped pitch in to make the wedding a special one.

Lisa positively glowed that day. Terence couldn’t help but want to see her just before the wedding, as she was his rock, the person he turned to whenever he got nervous. He was having pre-wedding jitters so he knocked on her dressing room door. She yelled at him to stay out, that it was bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony. He relented, but when he saw her emerge at the doors at the top of the aisle, she looked like an angel stepping down from heaven, and he understood why it was important to wait.

When they sealed their marriage with a kiss, Terence teared up a bit, he was so happy. After his previous disastrous relationships, he didn’t think he could ever love or trust again, let alone get married. Now he understood that he was only lost before because he didn’t have a higher power to guide him. Now he had faith, which he didn’t just turn on one day but worked hard to earn, and with it he built a foundation on which he could learn to love again.

It was a hard journey to this point, but worth every agonizing step to get to this point, looking into the sparkling blue eyes of his new wife, Lisa.

They had met while Terence was sitting in a church, on a rainy night when the rest of the church was empty and Terence had come because he had nowhere else to go except to ask God what to do. Lisa was beautiful, though she made a point of keeping her natural good looks muted with conservative clothes and simple make up. However, It didn’t matter to Terence at the time, though. When they first met, if he had even noticed her beauty he would have hated her for it as he came to think that any woman who was even a little attractive was a lying, cheating, betraying whore.

It wasn’t love at first sight, and it wasn’t even attraction that brought them together. When they met, Terence was on the verge of suicide, so romance or relationships had nothing to do with it.

Terence didn’t know how to pray or anything, he just sat there, hoping that if there was any guidance to be had, God would somehow let him know.

Lisa had been helping the pastor set up an email account. She wasn’t a computer expert by any means, but she was merely familiar with computers as anyone is these days. The pastor, however, was from a different time and didn’t catch on quite as quickly. The two of them stumbled through it, and then the pastor, who was a little brain tired, retired to his little living space in the back of the church, grateful for Lisa’s offer to just look around the church in his place, to make sure all the doors were locked and everything was alright.

It wasn’t unusual to find someone sitting or praying among the benches, but there was a dark cloud above Terence that one could feel just by looking at him. She knew that the homeless in the area could be a little mentally unstable, so she sat in the aisle in front of the aisle Terence was sitting in, just for safety. She just sat there for a while, not asking if Terence needed anything, just being there so he wasn’t alone.

Eventually, he looked up, saw that she was probably some other Christian do-gooder who would sell him on the Bible, and he looked down again.

“I’m here to listen,” Lisa said softly. “If you want.”

Terence still said nothing, and Lisa just sat there. They sat in silence for forty minutes. As time went on, some part of Terence registered that she wasn’t pushing anything, she was, by the simple action of being by his side, letting him know that he was not alone in his time of need. That softened him. He began to cry softly.

“You can’t even imagine what I’ve been through,” Terence said.

“I know,” Lisa said. “Even if you tell me, I won’t pretend I could ever know how it feels.”

That made a strong impression on Terence. The last thing he wanted was someone’s sympathy, even if it was well meaning. The thing he hated most in the world was dishonesty, even the kind where people are trying to be nice. No one could feel what he felt, and if someone tried to pretend they did, he would just resent it.

“I used to be successful,” Terence said. Lisa said nothing, she just leaned forward and listened. Terence went on to tell his story.

Terence had spent a year being literally homeless after his last encounter with Todd. Not only had Todd destroyed or stolen all of Terence’s wealth, Todd turned out to be right about Terence’s house as well. It was over valued and he couldn’t sell it. What little he had left was taken eventually taken by the bank. He applied for various programs to help get him on his feet, but there was little sympathy for someone who by all appearances had lost their money in playing risky games in stocks and investments.

Terence had to stay in shelters after the bank had quickly foreclosed his house. He went to soup kitchens and did odd jobs to make a little cash under the table. Not only was he broken down, but the economy was in bad shape. Sometimes he slept on the streets, sometimes he slept in shelters.

Mostly what kept Terence homeless, though, was the rage. Inside he burned with a rage that could power the sun itself. Todd had made Terence drink Todd’s cum! How could any man walk away from such utter humiliation and not feel hatred in every cell of his being? Hatred, jealousy, envy, depression, desire, anger… Every night and every day Terence was fueled by raw, fiery passions. His rage was palpable to anyone within sight of him, and that made a lot of people keep their distance. He was hard to employ because of his rage. He didn’t make any friends. He was completely alone.

Along the way, though, Terence kept meeting good people, who worked to help others. Terence was so shaped by his anger that he couldn’t even believe people who tried to be nice and charitable to him. He immediately suspected they were trying to take something from him.

Most of all, he hated the Christian missionary types who wanted to help. A lot of the charitable food organizations he frequented to stay fed had connections to various churches, so he ran into a lot more Christians actively doing good work than he ever had before. They would want to read from the bible and from tell him that God had a plan for him. One time Terence literally spat on the Bible in a pastor’s hand.

“If God has been planning my life so far,” Terence shouted, “then God is a sadistic, evil cock!”

It came to the point where Terence wanted to die, except that he felt it was the ultimate loss to Todd. To just end his own life was an admission that people like Todd are the winners and people like Terence are the losers. At the same time, Terence just couldn’t imagine building himself back up again. Even if he worked hard, even if he became successful, it would come crashing down when Todd inevitably stole whatever woman Terence fell in love with. What was the point of life without love?

Which brought Terence to that night at the church. He didn’t see the point of going on. At the same time, he couldn’t just give up. He was incapable of making his own decision, and even though he wasn’t a church going type, he was desperate for some kind of guidance.

Lisa listened, and waited in silence for a long time to make sure that Terence had every opportunity to really let it all out. Then she told Terence the story of Job. How Job had everything taken and was tested by God more than any other man. She said an interesting thing which was that she could just point Terence to the story, and tell him about it, but she couldn’t tell him what it meant. The girl said that most people hear the story and just think it’s evidence of a cruel God, but that only someone who had Terence’s experience could really feel it, and get to what it means. Only by feeling the pain could Terence see what it meant, more than anyone else who could only read the surface details of the story.

Terence thought deeply. It made sense. How could such misfortune have befallen him if it weren’t to cure him. When he thought about it, wasn’t it pride that made him want to have such beautiful women in his life? He was living his whole life trying to “win” some kind of master game. Really, though, was it all about winning? Even if Todd was the devil himself, maybe God was using him to show Terence that trying to win at games of pride was never going to work.

The real “win” was to lead a good life, one that no one could take away, because it wasn’t built on showing people how well you had done but by being a good person that people respected.

From that moment on, Terence resolved to make a life that no one could take away from him.

Lisa recognized immediately that some kind of spark had been ignited in Terence, so she made some calls to help him out. She was most certainly not in love with Terence. When she saw him in that church, she saw him as one of many homeless people who needed a helping hand. He looked unclean and unkempt as they usually did, not at all the kind of man that a woman looks for. All that had changed after Terence had told his story is that she recognized that he was a man with potential who had been broken down, not just another person with mental issues who had been abandoned by society.

It was hard at first for Terence to earn people’s trust. He had snapped and shouted at a lot of people during his difficult year of being homeless. A lot of people didn’t want to deal with him, but only did so because Lisa vouched for him. Terence didn’t see Lisa that much, she would just be in the church during Sunday mass, and often she was too busy to talk to other people to talk with Terence. Terence didn’t mind, though, because even though he was trying to start over, he still didn’t feel he was ready for any kind of romance.

In fact, at night, when he masturbated, he still had lingering thoughts of Amy and Angela, which bothered him. He just couldn’t shake the memory of the visceral feeling of their smooth soft skin and the sight of their incredible bodies pressed against him. He would feel guilty and pathetic after he came, though. While the less rational part of him couldn’t shake his lusts, his more rational part that took over when he wasn’t horny would keep reminding him that he had to reach higher than lust as a foundation for a relationship.

Terence felt embarrassed at first that his first steady job was a paper route, but he bumped into Lisa one time and she said it was great. Real respect, she said, wasn’t in what he did, but that he was trying so hard and willing to do what it takes to get where he was going.

He did that for a little while, and then the young man who distributed the papers recommended Terence for a job at a paper recycling plant. It was gritty work, and at the end of every day Terence had ink stains all over his hands, but it paid reasonably well, and he was able to get a really small apartment of his own. It had cockroaches and the fridge was literally beside his small cot, but at least he could say he wasn’t homeless anymore.

It was nine months after his conversation with Lisa that Terence had a chance to really talk to her again. Lisa had been out of town for a while, finishing her graduate degree in a university out of town, and had been gone for the last half year, so she didn’t see his gradual change. He was now clean, with new clothes, and somewhat fit again from all the manual labor. When she first saw him, he was thin as a rail, had a scraggly beard, and smelled terrible. She didn’t recognize Terence at all when he came up and spoke to her.

“Terence? Is that really you?” She said, and she hugged him. That hug, pressing her body against his, ignited in Terence a feeling of attraction. An attraction he had assumed was futile, though. He looked at her with new eyes, and saw her for the beautiful girl she was. She had wavy light brown hair, blue eyes, and the face of an angel. She didn’t show off her body, wearing clothes that fill well but were never so tight as to inspire too much attention or lust. No man who really looked at her, though, would have missed that underneath her clothes was the body of a hot young woman. Her breasts weren’t huge like a porn star, but they were a lot bigger than most women, making them hard to ignore.

Terence figured that a woman like that would never be interested in a guy that she knew was homeless not even a year ago.

She was, however, willing to be friends at first, and so she and Terence started hanging out. She would invite him along to when she and her friends went out to see a movie, or if they were going to have a picnic in the park. She had an active social life and was willing to include him. Her friends were all good natured church members who didn’t seem to judge him, even though there was clearly a slightly different atmosphere about him.

It was only after one of her friends, a guy named Robert, told Terence that he should ask Lisa out that Terence even considered it. Robert said that Lisa talked about Terence all the time, how she was so impressed that he was working to make something of himself, and that she had such respect for that. It was obvious to Robert that she was interested. It was so outside of Terence’s experience to think that a woman might like him for who he was inside and not for what he had accomplished, that he didn’t even believe Robert when he heard it.

However, there was no denying that Terence was attracted to Lisa, so despite his disbelief, he really wanted to try. After he heard from Robert, he asked Lisa out that very night, and she agreed. They then started dating regularly.

They were chaste dates, very innocent, but that’s exactly what Terence wanted. Terence had all sorts of complicated feelings about sex that left him without the confidence that he would be able to perform. He had too many hurtful memories and images in his brain. However, it turned out that Lisa planned to save herself for marriage, so she was actually happy that he was not interested in sex. She confided that even though many of the men she went out with either were abstinent themselves or respected her wishes, she could tell that ultimately they wanted to marry her so that they could have sex with her, as if it were the prize at the end of a long journey. She wanted to get married for other reasons, and sex was something she didn’t want at the center of the relationship.

The two of them were brought together that much more with their shared attitude about sex, and their relationship deepened. People around them started talking like they might get married even before they did.

When they started talking about possibly getting married themselves, that’s when Lisa dropped a bombshell that shook Terence to his core.

“Before we could get married,” Lisa said one time as they were sitting on a park bench, “you would have to go face Todd.”

“What? Why?” Terence blurted out.

“Because he still has power over you.” Lisa continued. “You’ve come so far, and you’re your own man now, but deep down, there’s a part of you that still doesn’t believe in yourself. Partly you’re on the path you’re on because you’re still running from what he did to you. You need to look him in the eye and know in your heart that he can’t hurt you anymore.”

Terence looked down. He knew she was right, but just wasn’t sure he was strong enough.

“It’s not just for you,” Lisa said. “It’s for me. I need to know that you’re not just agreeing to no sex with me because you’re afraid of it because of him. I need to know it’s because you respect me, and nothing to do with him. I also need to know that you want to marry me because it’s the life you really want, not the life you think you can have because it’s what he allows you to have.”

“I love you!” Terence said frantically. “It’s got nothing to do with anything else. You know what you mean to me, how I can only trust and love again because of you.”

“I know,” Lisa said calmly. “But you need to be a complete man, a man who isn’t afraid of anyone, before you can really live up to those words. You know it. If you really do trust in God, then you know he’ll be beside you the whole way. Todd can’t do anything to you if you have God on your side.”

Terence knew there was no way he could argue without revealing that his faith in God in this matter wasn’t as strong as Lisa’s. However, she was right. There was still a part of Terence that burned with rage and jealousy when it came to Todd, and he would need to extinguish that part before he could really claim his life was his own and not just a reaction to what happened before.

“What would I even say to him?” Terence asked.

“You would say the most strong thing you could say,” Lisa said with a smile. “The thing that would show him you really are the stronger one now.”

Weeks later they found themselves at the door to Todd’s large mansion. There were expensive cars parked in the long driveway, there was a vast garden. It was palatial, well kept, and beautiful.

They were greeted at the door by Angela, who smiled a wide, delighted smile when she saw Terence. The last time Terence saw her, she was on her knees, lapping up cum from Todd’s cock as the two of them laughed and indulged their sadism at having ruined Todd’s life. Terence tensed up, but Lisa squeezed his hand as a gentle reminder that he was not alone, and didn’t need to be afraid. Terence looked at Lisa with a moment of panic. By seeing Angela’s face, he suddenly had this paranoid feeling that this time, maybe like last time, was some kind of set up. Maybe he would see Lisa laughing at him too, as some kind of horror unfolded.

However, Lisa had a look of firm determination just under a smile that was nothing except polite. Terence didn’t feel at ease, but so far Lisa was still on his side, and he felt confident enough to keep going forward.

“Terence?” Angela said as if they were old friends and she hadn’t tortured, betrayed, and ruined him merely for her own sexual gratification. Terence was struck by how these people could treat such evil behavior so casually. It made it that much more agonizing to see that they were so completely free of any hint of guilt or sympathy. “Todd said you were coming over and I didn’t believe him.” Angela looked at Lisa and looked her up and down. “Seems you’ve been doing well. That’s great.” Her tone was so sincere that it made it that much more frustrating for Terence. If there was even a hint of the evil that he knew was in her, he could say something back, something accusatory or cutting. However, since Angela was so oblivious, it only made it so that if Terence were to say anything, it would be him who looked confrontational.

“We’re here to see Todd,” Lisa said, politely, but firmly. She kept things down to business on behalf of Terence, sympathetic to the fact that he had a lump in his throat from the tension of walking straight into the center of hell.

“Of course, come in!” Angela said and opened the door wide. As Terence and Lisa stepped in, Terence had a moment to look at Angela. She was still drop dead gorgeous, and a few years had done nothing to change it. If anything, one could see how money and good living had improved her. Her clothes were perfectly tailored, she was fit, her hair was in beautiful condition. Her eyes twinkled and her smile beamed. She led them down a hallway.

As they walked down the hall and the moment of seeing Todd was upon him, Terence expected something horrible to happen as soon as Todd was revealed. Something like Todd in the process of fucking some woman that Terence would be shocked to see. Or that Lisa would walk over and immediately start sucking Todd’s cock. Terence braced for some kind of shock which never came. When they turned the last corner and saw where Todd was, Terence saw a scene he never would have imagined.

They came to the back of the house where it looked like some kind of garden party was underway. Terence was shocked and confused. He had expected for Todd’s house to be this hive of sin, perhaps with orgies or torture racks or something. However, here in front of him was what might be a ****** reunion, with a range of people from kids up to grandparents, and friends of the ******, all laughing and playing like they were the model group of friends and ******. The children laughed and played, the adults talked and smiled. Everyone looked bright and cheerful. Terence hated them all the more for having a full and beautiful life that was fulfilling and complete, and about much more than just sex. If it were just sex, he could look down on them in some way. The way it looked, though, it was the kind of life everyone wanted.

“Wait here,” Angela said, as she left Terence and Lisa standing beside the glass doors to the garden. She walked up to Todd, who was holding up a young child, about four or five years old, and laughing and playing with him. Beside him was Amy, wearing a sun dress, and looking positively radiant. Her dress was not intentionally sexy, but there was no denying her gorgeous body underneath the thin fabric. Angela came up to Todd and pointed back to Terence and Lisa as she told Todd of their presence. Todd put down the child who immediately went to Amy’s side. Amy, Todd and Angela looked over to Terence, then back to themselves. Todd said something and all three laughed. Then Amy began playing with the child, Angela walked over to some other people and joined in a fun conversation, and Todd walked up to Terence.

As Todd walked up, Terence surveyed the crowd. He thought he saw Jeff, Taylor, Vicky and Kate in the crowd. They all looked healthy and happy. Terence wondered who all these people were. Did they know what kind of monster Todd was? Did they condone it? Was it a secret? Some must know, but it was hard to envision how it all worked out. All Terence knew was that somehow Todd had managed to balance everything so that he had it all. Terence hated that Todd’s relationship with Amy and their child seemed to be both a positive, nurturing environment, and yet also allowed Todd to continue his evil ways.

“Hello, Terence.” Todd said simply extending his hand. Terence didn’t hold his hand out, so Todd simply put his down, and looked at Lisa. He didn’t hide at all the fact that he stared directly at her chest, assessing the size of her massive tits underneath her plain white buttoned up blouse. “Come this way,” Todd said, completely undisturbed at Terence’s snubbing of his hand shake. He led them back into the house and up some stairs into a den with a window that over looked the garden party below. Todd walked over to beside the window, then casually turned around. “So, Terence, have you brought your wife to me this time? Have you finally accepted your place in the world?”

Lisa’s jaw dropped. She had never before encountered such smug arrogance. Todd looked like he wasn’t even joking. He looked as though Terence might seriously be bringing her here to be fucked by Todd.

“Fu…” Terence began, but then mindful of Lisa, he didn’t want to be reduced to vulgarities. “No, not at all. I just came here to get some closure.”

Todd laughed as if he had just heard a good joke.

“Terence,” Todd said, with a tone as if he were sympathetic with Terence for making mistakes that Terence didn’t understand, “you don’t get to have closure unless I decide it. I can see that you’ve been building yourself up again. You’ve got a very attractive wife again. That’s good for you. But don’t think for a second that you are free from what I decide for you.”

Terence balled up his hands into fists. Lisa could see Terence losing control, so she stood closer to him and put one hand on his back for comfort.

“If I want to fuck your wife, I will,” Todd continued. “If I want to torture you, I will. I think you’re wife is already thinking about fucking me. She’s looking at my cock right now and wondering how it could be so powerful.”

Terence quickly looked at Lisa to see if that was true. Lisa immediately looked up at Terence and said, “I was not!” She said it as much to Todd as to Terence.

“It’s okay, Lisa,” Todd said. “Some women are scared at first, but they can’t help it. You can sense how other women have become a slave to my cock, and you can’t help but wonder what it is they’re getting that you’re not.”

“It’s not true!” Lisa said, getting completely flustered. Terence could see that Lisa was losing control and Todd was beginning to dominate the interaction, so he decided to interrupt.

“Todd, you don’t have power over me anymore,” Terence said. “I have found a higher power. One you could never compete with.”

“Oh, you’ve found religion,” Todd said as if it were only as meaningful as someone taking up golf. “That’s nice. I wonder how your religion can explain how my life is so great compared to yours.”

“Your life is hollow,” Terence said.

“Really?” Todd asked. “Look out there. Does that look like a shallow life? Many of those people I met at our church. Does that surprise you Lisa? You should come and see God’s real plan, not suffer alongside people like Terence.”

“Shut up!” Terence said, raising his voice. Then he regained his composure. He looked at Lisa who looked completely at a loss for how to react. “All that, that party down there, it’s all just a show. There’s no way you can be doing what you’re doing and be truly happy. All the lies and cheating will come back and ruin you.”

For an answer, Todd looked out and scanned the party, and then when he found what he was looking for, he pointed down in the direction of Angela.

“See that guy standing beside Angela, with his arm around her?” Todd asked, looking out the window. Terence leaned just a little toward the window so he could see a reasonably good looking man, with dusty brown hair beside Angela. The way he was standing, he wanted to be closer to her, but was being a little restrained, like someone on a first date, not sure how familiar they can be. “He and Angela have been dating a while, and he loves her deeply. He’s got a poetic streak and likes to write her long love letters. We fuck while she reads them to me. He’s actually pretty good. He really conveys he sincere love really well. We’re hoping he’ll propose to her, because we thought of this great way we can set it up so that he’ll be holding the ring in his hand while I’ll spray cum all over his face.”

Lisa’s eyes widened, and she looked back and forth between Terence and Todd. She was in complete shock.

“Does it surprise you that I can talk about such things in such a casual way while living such a happy life otherwise?” Todd continued. “What you don’t get is that people like me live by different rules than people like you. You can’t see how it all works because it is outside your imagination. You tell yourselves tales of morality to make yourselves feel better about the lives you have, because you can’t have the life that I have.”

Todd paused, and looked directly at Lisa.

“Well, Terence can’t have this life,” Todd said, “but you, Lisa, can be a part of it. Why don’t you let me show you?”

Terence looked at Lisa hoping for a quick and immediate “no”, but she looked confused, as if his words were getting to her. Terence nudged her to shake her back to reality, and she looked to Terence as if coming out of a dream.

“No,” Lisa said, a little weakly. Then, building her resolve as she spoke, she went on. “Sex is something that has twisted you up so much you don’t even see the evil of your ways. I’m just not interested in what you offer.”

“You don’t know that,” Todd said. “Unless you’ve tried.”

“That’s ridiculous,” Lisa said. “Those are just words to try and trick me into bed with you.”

“Of course they are,” Todd said. “But it remains so. It’s just like why Terence is here to face me. He’s actually here, doing it, confronting what he is afraid of. But you, you have never been fucked by me. You have no idea what it is that makes all the other women bow down before me. I offer you this deal. Let me fuck you once…”

“No!” Terence interrupted. “Shut up! No way!”

“It’s okay,” Lisa said calmly. “He has no power over me, Terence.” Terence calmed a bit and Todd continued.

“If you let me fuck you once,” Todd said, “and you can walk away, back to Terence, then not only will I let Terence live out the rest of his life in peace without me stealing his women, but in fact I will shake his hand, admit that he has finally won, and even transfer some money back to pay back some of what he lost when I destroyed all his investments.”

“If you honestly think that Terence would let me sleep with you just to win some money, like it were a bet…” Lisa said, but she stopped, because she looked at Terence who was biting his lip and thinking. “Terence? You can’t honestly be considering that?”

“Ah,” Todd said, as if he knew everything. “You have it wrong, Lisa. It’s not the money that Terence cares about. There’s nothing he would like more than for me to concede defeat to him.”

“You’re just lying anyway,” Terence said. “Just like you made me… you make me do things and then you go ahead and do what you wanted all along anyway.”

Lisa looked shocked. She couldn’t believe that Terence was arguing not about the idea itself, but whether or not it could be done.

“Think about it,” Todd said. “This time, I couldn’t change things. If she wanted to be with you after being with me, then that itself is the indication that you have won. Neither of us care about the money, so I would just do it precisely because it wouldn’t matter to you. If you won, it’s precisely because I couldn’t take anything from you, no matter what I lied about.”

Terence furrowed his brow tightly as he struggled with what to do. He knew he didn’t want to let Lisa sleep with Todd, but he wasn’t sure if it was because he didn’t want to play Todd’s games, or because he was scared he would lose that bet. Lisa looked dumbfounded. She was about to make her own objections when Terence cut her off by speaking first.

“No,” Terence said. “No games, no manipulations, no lies, no more of any of it. I came here to say one thing, and I’m going to say it, and then we’re going to leave.” Lisa looked relieved, and strengthened, and looked at Todd, standing firmly by Terence’s side.

“Todd,” Terence said, “I forgive you.”

Todd burst out laughing. However, Terence and Lisa didn’t falter. They stood strong, knowing that the Lord of Lies would behave in any way possible to eat at their resolve.

“Sorry,” Todd said, trying to calm himself. “That’s very big of you Terence. I guess you really have moved on.”

Terence and Lisa looked at each other, and they both knew that they had got what they came for, and they needed to get out. Somehow, the place felt more dangerous somehow, as if they had suddenly revealed themselves to be missionaries right in the middle of hell itself. When they came in, they were tangled in the world of evil, lustful games. Now they were of a different world, they didn’t belong here, and they needed to leave.

“Thank you Todd,” Terence said, as if he were reading quickly from a script. “We’ll be on our way now. I don’t expect we’ll have any need to speak to each other again, so best of luck and goodbye. We’ll see ourselves out.”

Terence and Lisa turned to rush as Todd watched them, very much amused. Just as they were stepping out the door, Todd spoke.

“Lisa,” Todd said. Lisa stopped for a moment. Terence stepped ahead, and didn’t realize Lisa had paused, otherwise he might have stopped her from hearing any more. “When you admit you need to know, you can come to me any time.”

Lisa froze, not sure if she should react with words or not, and Terence grabbed her as they rushed out. They didn’t look back or see anyone as they hurriedly walked to the front doors, down the steps, got into their hatchback car, and drove off.

They were dazed and didn’t speak until they felt safe by being clear of the expensive houses and in an area of town a little more in their social class.

“I…” Terence said cautiously,. “I’m sorry, Lisa. I was tempted. I have to admit, I felt the sin of pride in me when I thought for a moment that there was a way to make him tell me I had won. Of course, I would never let him have his way with you, that wasn’t even an option. I just… fantasized a moment. That’s all.”

“It’s okay,” Lisa said. “It’s not the temptation that’s the sin, it’s giving in. If we were never tempted, we would never have the chance to prove ourselves by resisting.”

“Thank you Lisa,” Terence said.

“I…” Lisa said, just as cautiously, “I was tempted too.”

“What?” Terence almost swerved off the road he was so surprised.

“No! Terence! No!” Lisa hurriedly explained. “Of course I don’t want to sleep with that awful man! I just mean, I wanted to prove to you, and to myself, that I am genuinely bound to you and not him. His words where he said that I wasn’t as strong as I claimed to be because I didn’t really know… that… bothered me. That’s all.”

“Lisa,” Terence said, “Please, tell me in no uncertain terms that you do not want to have sex with him.”

“Terence,” Lisa said slowly, “I do not want to have sex with that man.”

Terence calmed down. He felt his adrenaline running, and thought that this was no time to be really analyzing the situation. She said what he wanted to hear, and given all the tension and meaning behind what they had just done, he should be happy with that.

They drove a little way in silence. Then Terence noticed that Lisa was crying.

“What’s the matter?” Terence asked with deep sympathy. “Dear? What’s wrong?” He put a hand reassuringly on her thigh and tried to look at her without taking his eyes off the road too long.

“I,” Lisa started, and then reconsidered. “I’m just overwhelmed. You told me what you went through, but I’ve never felt anything like being there in that room with such… a man who was so… evil. I think I’m a little overwhelmed.”

Terence thought for a moment about how the things that happened between him and Todd were extreme, and a person like Lisa, who had grown up surrounded by loving people and safe environments, could only be shaken to her core by being ******* to such intense evil. Terence nodded sympathetically.

“Is there anything I can do?” Terence asked.

“I think I need to be away from you for a bit,” Lisa said. “I love you, but, you come from a past that is more than I expected, and a part of me is frightened by it. I need to calm down.”

“Oh,” Terence said, obviously disappointed. He had hoped that in this time of drama, she would want to console herself by being with him. At the same time, it didn’t surprise him. “Where will you go?”

“I think maybe I’ll go talk to the pastor,” Lisa said. “I’m not sure. I need to come to terms with all this.”

“Okay, but,” Terence said, “please do me one favor and don’t tell the pastor or anyone the details of what Todd did to me. I don’t want everyone to know. It’s too embarrassing.”

“I won’t,” Lisa said. “Don’t worry. Your secrets are safe with me. I just need time to process it all.”

“Okay,” Terence said, reluctantly.

They stopped at Terence’s apartment, where Terence got out and Lisa then took her car and drove off. Terence went inside and sat for a while on his tiny cot for a bed. The contrast between where he lived and where Todd lived really struck him. On the one hand, it bothered him. On the other hand, he really did feel like he had been through something and that this room represented him hiding away from his past. Now that he had confronted that fear, he felt he deserved better again. He would rise up and take his own life back.

He vowed that when he saw Lisa again, he would ask her to marry him, and that would be the first step in renewing his life.

The idea energized him, and as time passed, he found it harder and harder to wait. So he called Lisa, because he became determined that he had to propose that night. She wasn’t answering her phone, though.

Perhaps it was just the proximity in time to having seen Todd, but Terence began to get extremely worried. He called again and again. The more she didn’t answer, the more panicked he became.

As the time went late into the evening, he resolved that he would have to find her. He decided to go straight to her house. He had to catch the bus, which took forever to arrive. Then it moved agonizingly slowly through the city. Finally, he reached Lisa’s house, where she still lived with her parents.

The lights were on, but it was close to bed time. Terence came up and banged on the door. Her parents would just have to deal with it.

Lisa’s father answered the door, with Lisa’s mother in the background looking concerned.

“Terence?” Lisa’s father asked when he opened the door. He was still a little stern, but less so now that he saw it was someone he knew. “What on Earth are you doing here this time of night?”

“Is Lisa here?” Terence asked. Lisa’s parents looked at each other confused, and Terence felt his heart sink.

“It’s okay, ***,” Lisa said, coming down the stairs. She was in a bathrobe, looking like she had just showered and was heading to bed. Terence let out a huge sigh of relief.

Lisa’s parents left to go to their bedroom, and Lisa and Terence spoke in the living room on the couch.

“I tried calling you, where were you?” Terence asked.

“I turned off my phone, I’m sorry.” Lisa said, looking down. Terence tried to hold her chin to get her to look up, and that’s when he saw her eyes closely and noticed they were red and puffy, as if she had done a lot of crying.

“I’m sorry to have put you through that this afternoon,” Terence said. Lisa began to cry more. “But, I think we really did cross over something today. I feel like a new man. Don’t you feel different?” Lisa began to cry much more at that statement.

“Yes,” Lisa said, “things are different now.”

“Exactly,” Terence said, and he slipped down off the couch and got on one knee. “I’m sorry I don’t have a ring for you right now, but I think now is the time. You’ve helped me move on from the past, and I want to go into the future with you. Please, Lisa, will you marry me?”

Lisa burst out crying, but it wasn’t tears of joy. She seemed to be torn up with all sorts of feelings. Terence wanted to ask what was wrong, but he didn’t want to ruin the moment of having asked the question. It took a long time, and Lisa’s facial expression changed many times, as if with any one of them she might have given a different answer. Then she looked down and seemed to focus, to find some resolve.

“Yes,” Lisa said at last.

Terence whooped with joy and Lisa’s parents came down to see what the fuss was about. Terence excitedly told them, and they hugged and congratulated the both of them. There were phone calls and impromptu drinks of celebration.

The next few months as they planned the wedding weren’t quite as joyful as Terence would have hoped. He always imagined that once they had committed to marriage, that they would be certain of their future. However, for the month, Lisa seemed to be wavering a lot. She sometimes cried, sometimes seem to be forcing her happiness for Terence’s sake. Terence hated Todd for having introduced a certain negativity into his life again, ******** Lisa to a level of evil that seemed to have really shaken her to her core. This time, however, his hatred of Todd was different than other times. This time, he felt Todd was an outside problem, that could be isolated, identified, and overcome. Todd hadn’t corrupted Terence’s relationship, he was an enemy that they could rally to defeat.

Slowly, Lisa seemed to put her issues behind her and come to share the same joy as Terence. She not only got back to being the ray of sunshine she was before meeting Todd, she seemed more at ease, more confident with herself. Terence noticed that all the other men around also picked up on her new confidence, and seemed to swarm around her a little more. Terence couldn’t help but feel a little pride, being with the woman that all the other guys wanted. However, he was all too aware of the folly of that kind of thinking, so he tried to put it aside, and focus on what was good about Lisa, not to appreciate what was attractive about her in the eyes of others.

The wedding was one of the happiest days of Terence’s life. Committing himself completely to Lisa made him feel free at last. Free of everything that had ever hurt him in his past.

The only blemish on an otherwise perfect day was the wedding night. They had got an apartment together, bigger than Terence could afford on his own, and lined it up so they would move in on their wedding night. That all went fine, but when it came time to be in the bedroom and consummate their relationship, Lisa said the sex was hurting her, and they had to quickly stop. Terence had never slept with a virgin before, so he figured that it was probably natural that the first time wouldn’t go smoothly.

They were able to have sex in the days and weeks following, and Lisa was eventually able to have sex with Terence. She never climaxed, and sometimes she cried afterward. Terence figured that having sex was a whole new area in her life, and adjusting would naturally be a little emotional, so he didn’t think it was cause for too much concern. Lisa also emphasized that she didn’t marry for sex, that sex wasn’t that important to her, and she was happy with Terence in every other part of their lives together.

Terence wanted to make sex something they enjoyed together, so he hoped that eventually she would come to enjoy it. Now that he was no longer avoiding sex because of Todd, he wanted to have every part of his life back.

For four months after they got married, they were happy together in every way except the bedroom. Terence could see how people at the church would look at him and Lisa together and he would feel that for the first time in a long time he was really on his way up. He didn’t have a great job, but he had a great wife. She was the kind of woman every guy would want to marry. She was supportive and comforting, making Terence feel like he had potential. Every time he looked at her, whether she was smiling at him, or in the middle of a group and the center of attention, Terence was motivated to become the man that would deserve a woman like her.

The sex didn’t really improve, though both of their attitudes toward it seemed to be improving. Terence kept wanting to try, and although often Lisa said it made her sore and had to stop, she was trying. She kept saying that she wanted as much as Terence did for the sex to work between them, that she wanted a full relationship in every way. Sometimes she even said she needed for Terence to keep trying.

Terence felt like there was nothing but blue skies ahead of him. He had set out to change his life, and he had.

The change came on a day that Terence couldn’t have imagined anything would happen. It was just a day like any other day. Terence came back from a shift at the recycling plant. For months there had been no sign that anything was amiss. He was content and completely free of worries. He was even whistling as he walked up the stairs to his apartment.

As he came up the stairs, he heard an intense banging. He wondered where it was coming from. When he reached his apartment door, he realized it was coming from inside his apartment. He heard what might be yelling or screaming. He was so confused, he couldn’t understand what could possibly be happening. He opened the door, and as he did, he could clearly hear Lisa.

“Oh yes!” Lisa screamed. “Fuck me like a man! Fuck me like he can’t! Fuck me like I deserve!”

Terence froze. ‘Oh no’ he thought. He was incapable of thinking more. Just ‘oh no’. He felt his stomach fall. For a moment, a brief moment, even though he couldn’t deny that Lisa was fucking someone else, he prayed, he hoped, he needed for it to be someone other than who he feared it would be. ‘Anyone,’ Terence thought, ‘Please dear God in heaven, anyone in the world but…’

“Oh, you think you deserve my perfect cock?” Terence heard Todd teasing Lisa. “Why is that, bitch?”

Terence felt a feeling inside him that he could only describe as having his soul leave his body. He honestly felt like he might not survive confirming by sight what he could already hear was true. It wasn’t a large apartment, so it was a very short walk to the bedroom door. Terence walked slowly though, listening to Todd and Lisa as he approached, their words cutting into his razor blades. Not because of what they were saying, but because of how Lisa sounded so wild, so happy, so horny. In other words so completely unlike how she was with Terence.

“Because I’m fucking hot! Because I have big tits!” Lisa screamed. “Because I suck cock like a goddess!”

“Now, aren’t you full of yourself?” Todd laughed. “My cock has changed you, hasn’t it? So what are you doing with a loser like Terence?”

“Fuck Terence!” Lisa screamed. “I deserve better! I need a man’s cock! I’m wasted on him!”

Terence reached the bedroom door, which was slightly ajar. He peeked in. Todd was on top of Lisa fucking her so hard that the whole bed shook like it might break, and the headboard slammed against the wall so hard it seemed like it might punch through. Lisa’s tits bounced back and forth so hard they were almost hitting her face.

“Answer me, bitch!” Todd commanded, though he still sounded amused. “What are you doing with that little loser?”

“I don’t know!” Lisa cried. “I don’t know, master! Tell me to leave him and I will!”

“Soon, bitch, soon,” Todd said, and then he laughed.

She squeezed her legs around Todd’s waist and tightened so that he would be in deeper.

“FUCK YES!” Lisa screamed “Your cock! YOUR COCK! I LOOOOOVE YOOOOUUUR COOOOOOCK!”

Terence stood at the doorway to the bedroom in shock. Lisa was not only being fucked by Todd, but she was loving it in a way that was completely opposite to everything she had said about sex. She was begging for more, screaming out of control, thrashing in pleasure. Todd watched Todd grabbing and kneading her huge tits like Terence longed to do. She was covered in Todd’s cum, indicating they had been fucking for a long time before Terence found them. Terence could smell nothing but Todd’s semen, as if it were right under his nose.

Terence didn’t know what to do. The whole situation was so unexpected. He thought he might be in a dream, it was just too unreal. Lisa looked so erotic, so given to being fucked, so wanton. Terence longed to see her like that, and even now, watching his worst enemy fuck her like he fantasized about, he was turned on by the site of her. That confused Terence to his core, because at the same time, seeing Todd filled him with a rage he had not felt since that year Terence spent being homeless because of Todd.

Suddenly, it struck Terence what he should do. This time, there were none of Todd’s friends around. There were no body guards or security. Terence looked around to confirm he really was alone, that there was no one about to suddenly jump him. Terence felt a little glee thinking that Todd had been too confident this time. Finally, Terence could have his revenge!

Terence burst into the room, to charge Todd. One step into the room, though, he lost his footing as he slipped on something on the hardwood floor. It was a puddle of Todd’s cum, with just a little of Todd’s piss to keep it liquid. Terence fell forward and hit his face against the corner of the bed frame. He was disoriented for a minute, but heard Todd laughing as suddenly a bed sheet fell on top of him. Blinded, Terence tried to turn around, but that only wrapped the bed sheet around him more. Then he felt the first of many of blows from Todd’s fists. Terence flailed around to try and strike back, but with every missed punch, Todd just laughed at him.

Terence fell completely to the floor, face down, and Todd stomped on him a bit with his feet.

“Stop, please!” Lisa pleaded. “You promised you wouldn’t beat him too badly. He’s not as strong as you!”

Terence felt a huge weight as Todd pressed down on Terence with the whole weight of his body. Terence was trapped in an awkward position beside the bed so he couldn’t move.

“Give me that lamp,” Todd commanded. Terence heard some shuffling, and what sounded like Todd breaking something. Then he felt his hands being tied behind his back with electrical cord. There was more similar noises, and Terence heard the second lamp being broken before his feet were similarly bound with more electrical cord.

Still with the Blanket over his head, Todd picked him up and commanded “Move!”

Terence had to hop, and he didn’t know where he was going, but he was pushed along by Todd, who partly carried him. Then Terence felt himself being put down in the kitchen, into one of the two kitchen chairs.

Todd took the blanket off Terence’s head and the first thing Terence saw was Lisa standing in front of him. She was completely naked, covered top to bottom in little streams of Todd’s cum, and with a guilty look on her face.

“I’m sorry Terence. You must have heard… I just say those things because he likes it.” Lisa Said, covering her massive tits with her arms which only squeezed them and emphasized their size that much more. When she did so, streams of Todd’s cum oozed down into her cleavage and off the sides.

Todd was using some duck tape he pulled out of a kitchen drawer to secure Terence to the back of the chair, and to secure his legs to the legs of the chair.

“I wonder,” Todd said, “If she’s lying to me about those things she said, or lying to you about not meaning it. Did it look like she was lying when I was fucking her, Terence?”

“Lisa,” Terence said, choosing to ignore Terence, “what has he done to you? We can get out of this! I know you would never do this!”

“Terence seems to be confused, Lisa,” Todd said as he worked. “I think it would be better if he heard an explanation from you.” Lisa bit her lip and looked at Terence with guilt.

“This has been a long time coming,” Lisa said. “I didn’t want to do it, but I knew eventually Todd would want to.”

“What?” Terence said, completely shocked. “You’ve been seeing Todd since before today?”

“The truth is that I went back to see Todd that very day we met him,” Lisa said. “Right after I dropped you off, I went straight back to him. I meant it when i said I didn’t want to have sex with him. However, I just had to know. I didn’t want to but I needed to. I had to know if I was strong enough to resist.”

“But Todd was right,” Lisa continued. She knelt in front of Terence and put her hands on is thighs sympathetically. Her hands were sticky and wet from Todd’s cum and pre-cum juices, and they made Terence’s pants wet where she touched them. “That first time he fucked me so hard and made me orgasm over and over. It made me doubt what I believed. I mean, how could God have made it so that we were supposed to spend our lives not having those feelings. When I climaxed, I experienced sensations I never knew existed. I think in those moments… I… was even closer to God.”

“By the time he was done with me that night,” Lisa went on, “I was his. And I was happier than I had ever been. I felt like I had felt what it was like to be truly alive. But I swear I didn’t want it to be so. My heart ached and I wanted it to be untrue. I kept hoping I’d wake up into a world where the things I used to believe were true. I thought the most merciful thing I could do was keep it hidden from you while I tried to stop seeing him. I went back to him again and again, and when I went to him I would tell him it was the last time. But it never was. Eventually, I realized what I was fighting was too powerful, and I stopped resisting. I became a slave to his cock, and did as he commanded.”

“I begged him to leave you alone,” Lisa cried as she spoke. “I hoped that if I sacrificed my body to him, to let him do wicked things to me, things I can’t even tell you, that he would leave you alone, leave us alone. Though I a part of me knew that would never be. One day he would want to use me to hurt you, and I wished I could resist. I really did. But I knew that as the day approached where he would want to fuck me in front of you, I would want him to do it. I craved being in his power more every day. I hated myself for it, but I was powerless to resist.”

“You lying bitch! You fucking whore!” Terence was crying like a child. His voice broke with anguish.

“I was always honest with you about how I felt in my heart,” Lisa said, “I just tried to keep hidden what was happening with my body. I never mealllph… mmmglph!… llpglp!… mlglgmgl!” Todd interrupted Lisa from speaking by stuffing his cock right into her mouth. He jammed his cock right down into her throat, and even though she resisted a little at first because of the surprise, she began hungrily working up and down on his cock as if it was the only thing she ever wanted.

“Okay, enough explanation,” Todd said. He fucked Lisa’s face aggressively for a little while, holding the back of her head with both hands and ramming her head down onto his powerful rod. She shook like a rag doll, her breasts jiggling. This took place no more than two feet from Terence’s crying eyes, and he moaned, “no, no, no,” over and over with a tone of voice like someone who had suffered some kind of head trauma. Todd looked back and forth between Lisa and Terence, smirking.

“Looks like Terence needs some consoling,” Todd said, and he took his cock out of Lisa’s mouth with a loud wet popping sound. He took one of her hands to guide her as he stood her up. Then he turned her around to face Terence and bent her over. She put both her hands on Terence’s shoulders. “Go ahead, Lisa, you may talk to him.”

“Terence, I’m sorry, just wait a liiIAAAAHHH!!” Lisa lost her thoughts as Todd deliberately slowly pushed his massive cock into Lisa’s cunt. Each inch that slid into her caused her to shudder. Then he began to ram into her again and again, pounding his pelvis into her soft but firm ass. She bucked wildly, and her hair thrashed, and her huge tits slapped against each other. Her face was contorted into ecstasy mere inches from Terence’s face. She tried to continue speaking, but as she did, her words were constantly interrupted by her moans of pleasure.

“I… UH… I’m sorry, Terence,” Lisa said. “Please, just let him do this toOOAAA!! AHHH!! Let him do this to meEEEEE!! OOHH!! And it when it’s over I’ll beEEAAAUUUHH!! UUHH!! I’ll be with you again… OOOHH!! You’ve been happy since thAAAHH!! AAHH!! That day we went to Todd, haven’t you? I’ve been fuUUUHHH!! UHH!! Fucking Todd since that day, and you’ve been happyyyIIIAAA!! AAHH!! Can’t we go on like that?? AAAHH!!”

Terence couldn’t believe what she was saying. Didn’t she know that by giving herself to Todd like this, Todd was owning a part of her that would stay even after Todd left? That after Todd soaked her in his cum and had his fill, he might walk away for a while, but a big part of her would yearn to be with him again, and Terence would feel that part of her every moment they were together. Did she not understand that?

Or did she understand, but had she given in so completely to Todd that it was the only way now for her and Terence to be together from now on?

“AAAAAAAHHHH!!” Terence wailed with a visceral, primal yell. It was pure pain, his world turned completely upside down. Lisa looked back at him.

“I’m sorry Terence,” Lisa said. “I… Oh! I… OH!! AHHH!” Whatever Lisa might have said to be consoling, she forgot as Todd’s cock made her stop caring about what Terence felt.

Terence wished he could lose consciousness or go mad from the pain he felt inside. Some way of blacking out so that he didn’t have to suffer every moment of this torture. However, as much as he wished for something to take him away, instead, the seconds trickled by like eternity. Sweat, pre-cum, and droplets of cum that was all over Lisa’s body dripped from her massive tits as they thrashed back and forth, and from her cunt where new liquids were pouring out, splattering on Terence. The whole room smelled of Todd’s semen, and the only thing that Terence could hear was Lisa’s complete submission to Todd’s cock.

“Terence,” Todd said in this loud, deep, booming voice, “Say to me what you said before.” Terence looked up past Lisa with confusion. He didn’t know what Todd meant. “Say it!” Todd yelled, and it was if the room shook. Terence’s mind raced. Then he realised what Todd meant.

“I forgive you.” Terence said. He said it quietly and weakly.

“Say it again!” Todd commanded. “I want you to feel the real meaning. You thought it made you powerful, but how does it feel now? I can do anything to you and you forgive me!”

“Ahhhh!” Terence wailed, like a crying child. “I forgive you! I forgive you!” He cried out between sobs. “I forgiiiiiive youuuuuu aahhh ahhh ahhh!”

Todd laughed a loud booming laugh.

“Do you forgive Lisa?” Todd said.

“Yeesss!” Terence whined. “I forgive you Lisa. I forgive everything!”

“Keep saying it! Hah hah hah!” Todd laughed. “Keep saying it until Lisa orgasms!”

“I forgive you Lisa! I love you!” Terence spoke desperately, like a man possessed or out of his mind. Lisa looked directly into Terence’s wild eyes while he spoke. “I love you so much. I forgive you and I forgive Todd! I fooorgiiiiive youuuu!! Aahhhhhh!!”

“Feel it Lisa,” Todd boomed. “He needs to forgive you, because he needs you. He’ll find a way to keep loving you no matter how much you hurt him. Can you feel your power over him?”

For an answer, Lisa climaxed, harder and more powerful than she ever had before. She arched her back which jammed her tits right into Terence’s face. The smooth flesh covered in viscous liquids slid all over him. He tried to turn away, but he couldn’t help but taste a little. She cried out, and so did Terence, with completely opposite feelings.

Lisa’s body relaxed, and then she looked right into Terence’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Terence,” She said, heartbreakingly sincerely.

“Shush,” Todd said, as he pulled her back and then guided her so that as he sat down on a kitchen chair right in front of Terence, she was kneeling in front of him. Todd was careful to sit at a slight angle, and brushed Lisa’s hair to one side, so that Terence could fully see her go down onto Todd’s cock.

“The men have some talking to do, so shut up and do some cleaning, bitch!” Todd commanded sternly. Lisa dutifully began licking the thick, clear and white slimy liquids that covered Todd’s member entirely from the tip down to it’s base, and on his balls and inner thighs. She didn’t hesitate at all to hungrily gather all the juices in her mouth and slurp them down.

“Please,” Terence begged, “please stop this. Why won’t you leave me alone?”

“Don’t be so self centered,” Todd said. “You make it sound like your the only guy I steal women from.”

“Why?” Terence choked out. “Why do you do it?”

Todd let out a big laugh. Then, as Lisa took the entirety of Todd’s cock deep into her throat, he paused as pleasure overtook him.

“Wow,” Todd said. “Hey Terence, do you like it when she does this to you… oh! Right, she never gives you head, does she? She told me that she told you that she found it demeaning to women or some bullshit, but from the look of things, I think it’s obvious she was just telling you shit because she didn’t want to do it for YOU. You’re missing out, man. She is incredible at it.”

Terence knew that Todd was deliberately taking his time to answer Terence’s question. He looked down, trying to avoid the smug look on Todd’s face.

“You know, I taught her how to deep throat on your wedding day,” Todd said.

That made Terence look up, wide eyed and mouth open.

“That’s right,” Todd said, “On your wedding day, I fucked her so sore that you two couldn’t consummate anything that night, could you? I made sure there was cum in her twat, cum on her wedding dress, and especially made sure that there was cum in her mouth for when you kissed the bride. Oh… ha ha… I even came into the icing on your wedding cake. Not that you haven’t tasted my cum before, but I thought everyone at your wedding should get some too.”

There was a picture of their wedding day, a snap shot taken by one of Lisa’s friends, that showed Terence with a large dollop of icing smeared on his face. It was in the living room, just visible through the doorway from were Terence sat. Even then Lisa was under his power, probably commanded by Todd to put the icing on Terence’s face as she did, just so Todd could pervert Terence’s memories later.

“You want some big, grand explanation about why I do this, don’t you?” Todd asked, enjoying having command of the conversation. “Other guys I’ve stolen women from have asked me that before, and I used to think, ‘It’s totally obvious, isn’t it? You fucking spank your tiny penises pretending in your head to be like me! Look at the way your woman worships me! Guys like you masturbate to porn, watching women do the things your woman does to me! Why do you even need to ask?’ But then I realized that you guys are hoping to find the same thing.”

Todd paused with a self satisfied grin, and waited for Terence to ask the inevitable question. Terence resisted for a few moments, because he didn’t want to be Todd’s puppet, speaking on cue. But then as he watched his wife hungrily sucking Todd’s massive cock, straining her jaw to fit it into her mouth and seeming to love the effort it took, he realized that it would be far easier for Todd to pass the time like that than it would be for Terence to watch.

“What?” Terence said weakly. “What is it we hope for?”

Terence grabbed Lisa by the hair and slowed her bobbing motion down a bit, as if he needed her at a certain rhythm to say what he wanted to say. Todd had an air of importance about his words, as if he had either said them before or had wanted to say them for a while.

“What you want,” Terence said slowly and deliberately, “is to find out that there’s something about me, some reason I do this that you can appeal to that might make me stop. Like maybe I had some terrible childhood, or was lonely inside, or some cause that would explain this so that you could negotiate and make it stop.”

Todd stopped with a smile and looked directly into Terence’s eyes. He had an intense, piercing look that questioned Terence and asked him “I’m right, aren’t I?” Terence looked away for a moment, and then looked back. Todd was right. Satisfied that he was correct, Todd leaned back and put both hands behind his head and relaxed, looking down at Lisa who was daintily licking up the juices that oozed from the very tip of Todd’s veiny cock.

“You can hardly believe how bad your wife wants to fuck me, can you?” Todd asked, but didn’t wait for Terence to answer. “You thought this time you found a special girl, who was truly loyal. Your ex-wife Amy… she had to be with me because I was superior to you and she has a thing for being with powerful men. Angela, she really got off on the betrayal. She loved fucking behind your back. You didn’t know your exes would betray you like they did, but there was something about them from the start that hinted they could have a wicked side. it didn’t surprise you as much as it does with Lisa. She’s not as wicked as other women can be.”

“Lisa,” Todd continued, “doesn’t mean to be bad. She just can’t resist me. She can’t help it. She really does love you, you know. But at the end of the day, given a choice between your love and my cock, your love loses to my cock.”

Lisa slowed her motion down, and she furrowed her brow, indicating she was uncomfortable with what Todd was saying. Todd looked down at her like a father scolding a child.

“Come now, Lisa,” Todd said in a patronizing tone of voice, “don’t act like it’s not true. Admit it.”

Lisa stopped moving, and she seemed to be struggling with her thoughts.

“Admit it bitch, or you get no more fucking,” Todd said.

Lisa shut her eyes tight as if to work up her courage to commit to an answer, and then she nodded her head.

“Ish shrue” She said, her mouth stuffed with Todd’s cock, meaning ‘It’s true’. Todd then grabbed her by the back off the head and started moving her up and down on his cock again, guiding her so that she would resume her cock sucking duty.

Todd looked back at Terence.

“That’s why I do it, Terence,” Todd said. “Because I want to. Because it makes my cock hard to watch men like you have your heart stomped on. Because even nice girls like Lisa need my cock so much that they’ll do anything I want.There’s nothing fair about it, there’s nothing you can do to change it. I’ve had a great life, I’m good looking, successful, my mother loves me, and I’m not missing anything. There’s nothing deep inside that I need to fix, no sad childhood that made me this way. I just enjoy rubbing your face in it. I love fucking women behind men’s back and enjoying the lies and betrayal, and I love fucking women in front of their husband’s stupid helpless faces while they whimper and beg for me to stop.”

“The reason is simple,” Todd said, with self satisfied finality. “It makes my cock hard. That’s all there is to it. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Terence squirmed in his seat. He wanted to tell Todd that he was evil and would go to hell, but he couldn’t say it. Terence felt like he had been lied to about the very fabric of reality itself. Hadn’t he already suffered as much as Job, repented and rebuilt, only to be right back where he was? Seeing Lisa, who had been his rock and his saviour, and who had herself had a deep, deep faith, now willingly place herself under the control of Todd’s cock as if it were her new religion, and seemingly happier for it, made Terence doubt even more. If there was a hell, Terence felt like he was already in it. And if it was Todd who decreed that Terence be put in hell, then was Todd the devil, or was he God?

“How does it feel, Terence,” Todd said, “to know that everything about you exists to satisfy my cock? I mean, I know you think I exist just to fuck your women because all you ever see me do is steal them from you in front of your face and get away with it. So you think my whole life is about sex. But it isn’t. I do lots of things, I have lots of friends, a nice big ******… hell, Lisa knows about it, right? Didn’t you have a wonderful day the other afternoon when you met my ****** for lunch? Weren’t they warm, loving people?”

Lisa nodded enthusiastically, keeping Todd’s meaty cock deep into her mouth. Terence felt sickened at the implication that not only had Lisa been fucking Todd behind his back, but that she had been spending time with him like a regular friend, enjoying time with his ****** and things outside of sex. It made it worse to know her betrayal was that much more complete.

“You see, Terence?” Todd said, using his hands to emphasize that Lisa agreed with him. “I have a whole life, and most of the time, you mean nothing to me. You and all the other guys whose lives I’ve ruined don’t even come up in my mind. So you’re not even a plaything to me, you’re just a plaything to my cock. When I get hard and decide to fuck some woman and torture some loser, then I do. That’s got to make you feel pretty small, to be a sex toy for some other man’s cock.”

Terence dropped his shoulders. What could he say? Todd had completely destroyed him over and over. Could Terence say anything that wouldn’t sound pathetic and simply make Todd mock him more. Tears streamed down his face as he watched his wife no more than a yard away from him worshiping another man’s cock, seemingly oblivious to the agony she was causing him.

“Use your tits,” Todd commanded, almost absentmindedly. Lisa immediately sat up more and positioned herself so her massive tits were on either side of Todd’s long cock. She squeezed her pillow soft breasts together, engulfing the shaft of his cock, but leaving the purple tip still visible above. She licked at it while she pumped his shaft aggressively. Todd leaned back and closed his eyes. Streams of cum shot upward from his cock like a fountain. Lisa looked up at Todd lovingly, as if she were in awe of him, while he leisurely let his cum fly where it may.

Thick ropes of cum splattered on Lisa’s face, in her hair, her tits, on the kitchen table, on the floor around them, and, of course, on Terence. It was if Todd’s cock was a fountain in the middle of the room, and everything else was a sculpture designed to have his cum poured all over it. He spasmed as cum flew freely from his cock for what seemed to be almost a minute. It made a slippery, smelly mess of everything.

“Aahhhhh,” Todd said with satisfaction and relief. “Well, I think I’m done now. Lisa and I have decided your future together, so you guys have a lot to discuss. Lisa, come with me.” Todd said as he stood up and led Lisa out of the room. Terence could hear them getting into the shower together. He heard them talking, and laughing together, like they were just two ordinary lovers sharing time together. He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he hated how they could be so casual together, how Lisa could talk with Todd as if they would just plan a dinner date together after torturing him. After an agonizingly long time, Todd left without saying anything to Terence.

Lisa came back into the kitchen, looking guilty and ashamed. She had put on some clothes now. Terence felt the difference between her clean body, which somehow put her in control of her own self, and Terence sitting there not only bound, but covered in and surrounded by Todd’s drying cum.

“Untie me!!” Terence screamed, his voice screeching as he lost control. “Untie me now god damn it!!”

Lisa ran over and began untying Terence. As soon as he was loose enough, he jumped up. “AAAARRRGH!!” he yelled, letting out a pure cathartic feeling of frustration. Somehow being freed made him feel the lack of control he had that much more, as he was freed when Todd allowed him to be.

“Terence,” Lisa said as she took a careful step towards him. Terence automatically turned and slapped her hard against her face. She didn’t stop him or resist. She merely stood and cried, expecting another. Terence cocked his hand, ready to hit her again. However, the way she stood there as if the knew she deserved it and waited for it made Terence halt. If he beat her bad enough, he would be shunned by the church community. Maybe even go to jail. Somehow Todd always left Terence in a situation where the only options Terence had for venting his frustration would end up hurting Terence more in the long run.

“God fucking damn it!!” Terence yelled again, at no one and nothing in particular. He just needed to scream.

“Are you going to divorce me?” Lisa asked quietly.

Terence thought about saying yes, just because it would have been cathartic. But he thought how if Todd could make Lisa betray him, Todd really could make any woman betray him. Was there any point in fighting it anymore? He also hated the idea that if he kicked her out, she would only go straight to Todd, and Todd would laugh at him that much more.

“No,” Terence said, almost whispering.

That was the beginning of a long and obviously difficult conversation between them. It went on for hours and hours, into the night. They both cried a lot, and Terence found it harder and harder to hate her. Talking to her was like talking to a drug addict. On the one hand, she knew what she was doing was wrong and didn’t want to hurt Terence. On the other hand, once they got to any discussion of her not seeing Todd again, she dodged and avoided the topic, but if pressed, ultimately said she didn’t think she could stop.

They alternated between hugging, crying, yelling, whispering, being silent, and pleading with each other to understand.

“You don’t have to go see him,” Terence said.

“I can’t stop seeing him,” Lisa said. Terence’s heart broke more and more with each syllable. To hear his wife talk about sex with Todd as if it was this grand important thing that she couldn’t give up killed him inside. “Just… try not to think about it. I’ll go sometimes, and I’ll come back, and if you don’t think about it while I’m gone, then…”

“How can I not think about it?” Terence said angrily.

“Please… I love you Terence,” Lisa said. “If you want to kick me out, just say so. I’ll go, and I’ll understand. You have every right to get rid of me. I’m sorry I can’t help it. I know it’s selfish of me to want… to want you and… the other thing. But I’m trying to give you as much of me as I can.” Terence hurt so much because he knew she was being sincere.

“Fine,” Terence said at long last, when the conversation had exhausted both of them. “We’ll do it for a while, but promise me that we’ll work to find a way for you to stop seeing him, for you to not want him anymore.”

Lisa bit her lip.

“Okay,” she said. However, there was a weakness in her voice that gave away that she wasn’t totally agreeing.

The following Friday night, Todd called and told Lisa to come visit him at his hotel room. She dressed up in a way that Terence had never seen her dress before. She put on a tight one piece dress, high heels, she did her make up perfectly, her hair was styled gorgeously. Terence wondered why she had never looked that way for him.

She walked out the door to her car and Terence watched her ass in her tight skirt and winced at how sexy she was. He always knew that Lisa had an incredible body that she downplayed by dressing a little conservatively. However, seeing her make a point of showing off her body gave him a glimpse of a powerfully erotic Lisa that he wished he knew more about.

She said she would be back around midnight, but she didn’t come home. Terence waited until 3 AM, but eventually gave into the fact that Todd had changed his mind about how long Lisa would stay with him, and no matter how many times Terence called her mobile phone and left messages, he wouldn’t get through to her.

She came back that morning, and Terence began arguing with her. It was the first of many similar arguments about the same things. Terence would ask about what they did together, and Lisa wouldn’t say. Sometimes she told Terence that she and Todd fucked, and Terence would hate hearing about it. Sometimes she wouldn’t say, and Terence found that equally frustrating, that she was keeping secrets. She would get angry at him for having a bad reaction either way.

Terence knew that constantly arguing with her would not win her away from Todd, however, he couldn’t help himself because the situation was impossible.

Lisa began dressing more provocatively in general, and getting more attention from other men. Terence found many situations where he would see Lisa talking with men across the room at different church functions, and then when he came up, everyone got quiet. Often it seemed like they were smirking as if a joke had just been told. Terence began to get paranoid that Lisa was telling other men about how he was being completely cuckolded, or worse, about how he had ***** another man’s cum or other humiliating details. In general, he noticed that other people in his community treated him different, like they were all laughing behind his back. He was never sure if he was just being paranoid or if it was true. It was more cause for fights with Lisa.

Lisa became increasingly short with Terence. For a while he thought that what he needed to do was be more domineering. He wondered if that was the key to Todd’s almost magical control of women, that he seemed to arrogantly assume they would follow his orders. However, when Terence tried it, Lisa would only get angry with him. On the other hand, if Terence tried to be soft and accommodating, she seemed to lose respect for him and she even went so far as to say that if Terence couldn’t act like a real man that he wouldn’t ever be able to wean her away from Todd.

Whenever she came back from time with Todd, she would be too sore to fuck for days. Eventually, she just told Terence that sex was not going to be a part of their relationship again. Terence begged her to reconsider. After a long and strange negotiation, she eventually allowed for Terence to masturbate beside her while looking at her in bed. Somehow this made Lisa feel even sexier, and she turned up her new style choices that much more. She wore clothes that made men’s jaws drop.

She would go to Todd two or three times a week, and each time she would spend more and more time getting ready and making herself look incredibly sexy. Sometimes she allowed Terence to masturbate in her presence while she got ready. Terence always felt terrible after she walked out the door. How had he let himself get to this point. He was hanging onto a hope that somehow he could be with Lisa fully again, and accepting any distortion. He knew it wasn’t working, but to just give up meant automatically and immediately losing to Todd. If he ended things with her, she would just go straight to Todd, and be fucked into ecstasy by him while Terence would be left alone.

Then, one Saturday night, Lisa left and did not return at all the next day. It was strange for her to miss a Sunday service, so Terence knew this time was something a little different. He couldn’t concentrate all day, and kept checking his mobile phone for a message from Lisa. Messages which never came.

When he got home, he noticed that it seemed like Lisa had been home, and some of her things were gone. He phoned her frantically over and over, but she didn’t answer.

He knew Todd was doing this on purpose, making Terence wait longer than expected, so Terence tried to act as if he wasn’t bothered. He tried to act as if nothing bad was happening and just do what he would usually do after work. He pulled some leftover lasagna from the fridge and sat down at the kitchen counter to eat it. He slowly managed about half of what he would usually eat, because underneath he was still too tense to really eat like usual.

Then, after an agonizing hour, Terence’s phone rang.

“Lisa?” he said with a mix of relief and dread.

“Terence,” Lisa said, she was breathing rapidly and it broke her words up unevenly. Terence knew that meant she was fucking Todd right at that moment. Terence gritted his teeth in anger. However, he remained calm as he had half expected that Todd would deliberately drag out his time with Lisa to make Terence suffer.

“When are you coming home?” Terence asked.

“I… uh! uh! I…” Lisa said, clearly having trouble forming her words. In the background Terence could hear skin slapping against skin and Todd grunting with a hint of amusement. “I’m sorry, Terence… I… Oh! OH!… I…AH! I’m not coming back.”

“WHAT!!?” Terence yelled, standing up suddenly and knocking over the kitchen chair he was sitting in. “We had an arrangement! You promised!”

“I’m… soooOOOOH! OH! OH GOD!” Lisa screamed. “I’m sorry! Uh! Ah! But I’m going to go with Todd now. You need to say goodbye to me, Terence.”

“No!” Terence said, tears forming in his eyes. He felt the loss to Todd that he had been fighting to prevent for weeks. “You can’t do this! You can’t do this to me!”

“Terence?” Todd said, taking the phone from Lisa.

“Todd, you bastard!” Terence said, his voice shaking with tears and anger. “We had a deal! You can’t do this!”

“I know,” Todd said casually. “I’m breaking the deal. Actually, I was never going to keep it. I just wanted to break you down to where you would agree to letting your wife come fuck me when I wanted. It must have hurt you like hell to watch your wife get all made up for me and walk out the door. Man, it must have hurt so bad watching her do that and knowing you agreed to it! It was all just another way to torture you for a while. I especially liked how you would jerk off to her. How does it feel to know we talked about it while we fucked?”

“Fuck you!” Terence said. His words had no power, though. They were just the angry thrashing of a frustrated and powerless man.

“Hah hah! Your wife has that covered!” Todd said with a big laugh. “Anyway, I’m taking Lisa now. I’m going to show her a good life. She’s going to be a part of my little harem. But before we go, I have a little advice for you.”

“What?” Terence said. He didn’t want to hear it, but he knew that Todd would find some way of driving his message home, so it was easier to just listen and not risk having Todd do something more.

“I’m not usually this merciful, but you’ve brought to me three women who were all real keepers,” Todd said. “So I’m going to give you some advice. If you try to have another relationship, go find some ugly bitch that I wouldn’t even look twice at, and then I won’t steal her from you. I’ll be satisfied knowing that you are with a woman I’m allowing you to have, and as long as you remember that every time you look at her ugly-ass face and fat dumpy body, then I’ll consider us even.”

Terence winced at the way Todd suggested they would be “even”, as if somehow Terence owed something to Todd, after all that Todd had done to him. Todd’s sense of entitlement drove Terence crazy.

“Just leave me alone,” Terence hissed.

“I’m just telling you what the deal is,” Todd said with a sneer that could be heard in his voice. “Here, I’m putting Lisa back on. She has one more thing to say to you.”

Terence heard some shuffling, and Todd and Lisa talking. With the phone being passed around, and maybe with a hand covering the microphone, it was hard to hear what they were saying. It seemed like Todd said “Say it, see what it feels like,” and Lisa saying “No, it’s too mean.” Then Todd saying, “My cock will be in you the whole time. I want you to know the feeling of power.”

“Terence?” Lisa said.

“Lisa, please don’t do this.” Terence begged.

“I’m sorry Terence,” Lisa said, “It’s decided. I just wanted to apologize once more.”

“Don’t apologize, just come back to…” Terence said, but Lisa interrupted him.

“No, Terence,” Lisa said, “listen. I’ve been feeling bad because Todd liked to do this thing… it made him laugh at you, and right from the start I would have done anything to make him happy.”

Terence felt a pit open up in his stomach. He might have just hung up before even listening to whatever sadistic information Lisa was going to torture him with, but knowing that this was the last time he would hear Lisa’s voice, he wanted to hang on. A part of him was aching for the Lisa that he fell in love with. Listening to her now, he hoped that he would hear something, some hint that there was still a place in her heart for him.

“Todd liked to have me put his cum in your food and your drinks,” Lisa continued, “and I’m sorry Terence, I let him do it. And… I thought it was funny too. It wasn’t just the wedding cake, he would give me jars of cum to take home and put in things I made for you. Sometimes, when he was at our place he would cum into things directly. You might have ***** as much of his cum as I have.”

The words were so shocking to Terence that his mind was having a hard time keeping up. He heard in the background Todd laughing and saying, “Say it! Say it!” Lisa seemed to be shushing Todd.

“How’s the lasagna?” Lisa said, and then she started to laugh, as if she couldn’t help it. Like a joke told by someone who couldn’t get to the punchline without laughing themselves. Todd could also be heard laughing. Speaking as she lowered the phone from her mouth, Lisa said “Oh my God, I can’t believe I said it! It feels so…” and then the phone suddenly cut off.

Terence stood there in total shock. He looked down at the plate of half eaten lasagna left overs and suddenly felt ill.

He angrily swept the tray of lasagna off the off the table and it flew to where it smashed against the wall. Shattered pieces of glass and bits of lasagna landed everywhere.

He wanted to tear the whole apartment down. However, a part of him in the back of his mind knew that with Lisa now gone, he couldn’t afford the rent. He’d have to move out, and he’d need as much of the damage deposit as he could get. It was so frustrating that everything was so unfair. He couldn’t even have a moment of cathartic rage without it being him who would ultimately lose from it.

He was even going to have to clean up the mess of lasagna with Todd’s cum in it spread all over the floor.

He sat at the kitchen table. He put his elbows on the table, and his head in his hands,
