Imagine having some sadistic man physically, mentally, and sexually abuse you.

“A woman would have to be completely out of her mind!No thank you!”She definitely didn’t want that sort of relationship!“Surely there’s a way to have a man control the things we do in the bedroom but not abuse me.”

Lucy fantasized about having a man stand over her and demand she do things to him.Sometimes there would be another man in her daydreams, and one man would tell him what to do to her while the other obeyed.Her bookshelves held a lot of ménage romances, and Lucy really liked the idea of having two men make love to her.

“Stop daydreaming, silly woman!Men your age are looking for much younger, skinnier models.They’re not interested in a fifty-four-year-old with a lot of extra padding.”

Chapter Two

Lucy sat in the librarydrinking her coffee.She’d now be out of work until the agency could find something else.The trouble was, during the first few months of the year, most people didn’t take time off.They preferred to save their holiday time for the Christmas break.Now, February while still very hot, most people had taken their holidays.Winter was still a few months away when another group of workers who liked skiing took their holidays.Just hope the agency finds me work quickly.

That last Friday was busy, and she’d miss the cheerful smiles and friendly natures of the people who worked here—except Rob.He worked in the sales office and for some unknown reason had made a play for Lucy.Rather than hurt his feelings she’d told him politely she was involved with someone.At only twenty-four, Lucy felt rather sorry for him, but she still kept refusing all offers to go out for a meal.

Lucy had been filling in for a woman who had fallen and broken her leg and an arm.Now, eight weeks later, she’d be back to her position on Monday.Lucy made her way out, saying her farewells as she went.

“Don’t forget tomorrow night, Lucy,” Margaret, the office manager said.

“I won’t.”

The staff were gathering at a local night spot, Split The Atom, to welcome their old worker back and say goodbye to Lucy.

“It’s going to be a great night.Have you been there before?”Margaret asked.

“Split The Atom?No.At least not for many years, way before it changed the name.”

“It’s really popular.Gets very crowded, but it’s always a fun place.”

“I heard it was good.So we’re meeting there at nine o’clock?”

“Yes.Some of the gang thought it’d be better than meeting earlier.A lot of us have kids to get organized and babysat.”

“Thank goodness mine is past that.I’m at the grandmother stage.”

“My husband is looking after ours.”

“That’s great.Gives you a chance to let your hair down.”
