Chapter 17: Cutting the Girl in Half
Erotica Sex Story: Chapter 17: Cutting the Girl in Half - She’s Lascivious Livia, a charismatic, voraciously bisexual stage magician and hypnotist with an irredeemably cheesy sense of humor. He’s Marcelo Ambrose Knight, a handsome pickup artist with a dominant streak and a heart of gold. In an age of legwarmers, VHS, Aqua Net and valley girls, they’ll team up to create the most erotic, glamourous and outrageous (and the only) traveling adult variety show the world has ever seen! (There may be a wee smidge of fighting crime along the way.)

We’re indoors now. After the second Decan, a large number of men decided that jumping in the pool was the best way to “cover their shame”, and after that Summers shut it down. The open-air patio is still open, though, and the sun is just setting. The place is really crowded, but for once there’s a relatively even gender mix. The girls were all here for the second Decan, and stayed around. A lot of men left right afterward, but some just had a shower and came right back. Others stayed home, though — either embarrassed, or just having had their fun for the night.
The girl-band Hot Date is up on stage, belting out Do It To You. I wish I could watch — their lead singer is drop-dead gorgeous, and reminds me faintly of Livia if you ignore the hair. But the lyrics take on a slightly different meaning after what just happened: “You don’t need your mom’s permission, you’re thinkin’ ‘bout a rendezvous, I see that I arouse your suspicion, and you’re wondering if it’s gonna to come true ... I wanna do it, I wanna do it to you...”
I’m backstage with Jeri. She seems optimistic. Livia’s around, but she’s letting me handle Jeri. I’m our staff pickup artist, after all. Yep, that’s a no-shit formal job title. I’ve got about ten minutes.
“I’ve been wondering what you guys have planned for me,” she says.
“I’ve always thought anticipation is a key element of eroticism,” I throw back cryptically.
“We’re calling it ‘eroticism’ now? That’s pretty academic and stuffy-sounding.”
“Well, what do you want to call it?”
“I ... I have no idea. Feeling groovy, I guess. Hot stuff. Being foxy. Wow, I don’t know. What a weird question.”
“You look great.”
Jeri’s actually wearing a really classy blue prom-dress kind of deal. Mimi got it for her from our wardrobe. We would have given her a green one if we got the infodump a day earlier, but that’s life. Not a big deal — it won’t stay on long.
“Thanks. I was expecting something a bit racier, though.”
“There will be some costume changes later, but don’t worry about that now.”
“Okay,” Jeri says.
“Listen. After last night, there’s one thing I want to get right — your name. You told me Jeri, but the DJ said you were Cherry. Is that a mistake or a stage name?”
She looks dumbstruck. The name thing is obviously as important to her as we had figured. “Um, Cherry is ... a name I use when I’m going to do something racy. Jeri is my legal name.”
I nod. “Let me confide something in you. I’m...”
I tell her my actual legal name — it’s Marcelo Ambrose Knight by the time I write this, but it isn’t yet as I live it. I’m not putting it here, because, well, we covered my family back in Chapter One, remember?
“ ... but I use the name Marcelo Ambrose Knight. First it was a fake name, so no one would tie being a pickup artist to my ‘real’ life. It took me a long time to accept that Marcelo Ambrose Knight was actually my real name, and the legal one was the fake.”
Jeri nods. “I can relate to that ... kinda.”
Time for self-deprecation to ease tension. “Of course, the transition might have been easier if I chose a real name that wasn’t utterly fucking ridiculous. You know — ‘MAK-ing on women’. You have my permission to groan.”
Jeri laughs in spite of herself. “Ridiculous things can still be sexy, though.”
“Thanks. I think so, too.”
“Cherry isn’t a stage name, though. It’s ... uh, it’s actually my birth name. I stopped using it in junior high, because of ... you know, the jokes. I like it, though. My Mum gave it to me.”
“Oh,” I say. “I didn’t realize that. I was going to suggest using it tonight, but for the naughty connotations. I didn’t realize you grew up with it.”
“I’m okay with it,” she says. “I’ve had to suffer all the bullshit and pain the naughty connotations bring. I feel I deserve the fun bits too. And my Mum was a very extroverted lady. I think she knew about the connotations, and gave me the name because ... because things that are erotic, or lewd, are also beautiful and precious. At least, to her.”
“And to you?”
“Yeah,” she says. “To me too.”
“What bullshit?” I ask.
“I’m sure you can guess,” she says. “Back in high school, they would always call me ‘sweet cherry pie’. You know, like the song. It was embarrassing.”
I nod. “Good embarrassing or bad embarrassing?”
“Bad embarrassing!” she says sharply, then considers. “Well ... maybe a little bit of the other, too. I ... I couldn’t master it in school. Mum said you take sex, you make it yours, like riding a bull. But I got thrown off, and broke bones, and nothing healed right. She could ride, mind you, and she gave me confidence. But Mum ... uh, couldn’t be around me any more, and when she wasn’t around I couldn’t deal with the name myself. My dad suggested I change it to something respectable, so I did.”
“This sounds a bit raw. I was going to ask you about using ‘Cherry’ in the show tonight, but —”
“I’d like that. I want to be ‘Cherry’ tonight.”
“If you’re good with this, we’ll introduce you as Jeri, but make use of the other name in the show. It’s a bit weird to explain, but it ties in with the routine Livia’s worked out.”
She nods. “Ok.”
“Besides,” I joke, “Take this from personal experience — ‘sweet cherry pie’ not the worst thing people get called in high school, and it’s definitely one of the easier titles for a confident girl to own later in life.”
She chuckles ruefully. “It’s not the worst thing I got called in high school, Marcelo. I ... oh, God, I can’t believe I’m telling you this. They used to call me ‘The Girl With The Sticky Panties’. I, uh ... I swing both ways. My mum taught me not to be ashamed. I might have got caught, uh ... doing something that would suggest that to other people.”
In the background, I see Livia’s body language shift. Everything just clicks. Tension leaves my body. I just know, now, that Livia will have no problem empathizing with Jeri. The third Decan is going to be grand.
Jeri sees the look on my face.
“If you want to use that,” she says nervously, “make really sure it’s the good kind this time, because I’ve had too much of the other. But I trust you.”
Mimi pops her head in the door. “Kay, folks, twenty seconds to showtime!”
Talk about just in the nick of time!
I grab Mimi and dart out the door to whisper to her. “Mimi!”
“Yeah?”
“Emergency last minute script change. You’re going to the grocery store for some props. Livia has a long induction to do, so you’ve got half an hour.”
“Really?” she asks, annoyed and irate.
“I know you, Mimi. When you hear what I want, you’ll be plenty enthusiastic...”
The crowd is mellow. The sun is down. The lighting is dim. If it wasn’t for all the swimwear this could be one of the adult live comedy clubs that have become our staple venues. The binge drinking frat boys had their fun in the second Decan and are home sleeping it off. The crowd is ... well, I’d be lying if I said they were classy; we’ll never have a truly classy crowd. But they’re at least the more subtle, refined grade of hedonists. There’s an erotic energy in the air, the scent of anticipation, and it’s coming from the women more than the men.
There are a lot of girls tonight — professional and amateur, beautiful and plain, collegiate and thirty-something, scantily-clad and more fully dressed (by Lauderdale standards, at least: sundresses and sandals instead of bikinis). There are definitely some interested guys, mind you — both mellow ones who’ve changed their pants and just want to be entertained, and newcomers from places like the Candy Store or the Button who heard the rumors about what they missed out on and are wondering what’s going to happen next. There are players here, male and female — decadents and sybarites, but fewer outright oafs.
The back of the stage is dim, to aid induction. The front is brightly lit. There are two spartan, high-visibility white chairs and a low, white IKEA table just inside the shadowed area. The chairs face each other from opposite sides of the table. We’ve also rolled the guillotine apparatus we had on top of the three-box chamber from the first Decan out and re-cranked the paper rolls so the “blade” is up again. We’re not going to do anything with it, mind you — it’s just going to sit there unacknowledged in the background the whole time, being symbolic.
Livia and I stride out with Jeri between us. “Ladies and ... more ladies, and gentlemen, and pleasingly rough-looking men ... I’m glad you’ve all decided to stick around for our third Decan after the second got so unexpectedly, er ... sticky. Well, this bit is a little more personal, and intimate, than the last two, but — fair warning for the weak of heart here — it’s still going to be getting pretty hot in here.
“I want to introduce all of you to our gorgeous guest of the evening, Jeri! She is a very brave young girl on her first Spring Break, and she’s agreed to be the guinea pig for an experimental hypnosis program that Marcelo and I have devised. I’ve promised her the routine is not just a sordid excuse to get her stripped and flaunt her nubile young body before a crowd, and I’m going to do my best to make it more than that.”
The crowd laughs. It’s a nice laugh — anticipatory and naughty, without being bullying. They’re, at least partly, laughing with Jeri rather than at her. There are probably several women that want to be her. I scan the crowd and don’t see any of the hostile faces from DanceSpace, or get any sense of that viciously jealous vibe. A bunch of the girls that wanted the Emily treatment but never got it are still here, staring up at me wistfully — though Emily herself split, I think.
Livia’s patter continues. “This is gonna be therapeutic, folks. We’re providing an important psychiatric service to this fine young lady. Okay, possum, go say hi to the crowd!”
Livia smacks Jeri on the ass, signaling her to walk forward. She does so, out to the edge of the stage, shaking hands with guests. A few get a bit touchy, but nothing too bad.
“Folks, you might notice a theme in our act today. It’s actually really important, so please pay attention. This show is about the respectable lady. In the first Decan, we corralled a whole bevy of luscious lasses up on stage to give us all a show. And I need to say, it was glorious, and erotic, and I enjoyed it. And those are, in reality, respectable girls. I mean it. We’re all here, in this room. Words are just strings of Latin characters. They don’t have inherent meaning. Every one of us gets to decide what they mean. We don’t have to accept the meanings that our school principal or Mary Whitehouse gave us.”
I did say the crowd was mellower, but I’m still not sure how well Sapir-Whorf is going to play to the Spring Break audience. But I obviously let Livia keep talking and don’t undercut her. “Every person in this room gets a vote on what any given word means. The word ‘gay’ used to mean lively, but now we have a more ... rewarding use for it. Miss Kensington believed that the word ‘respectable’ meant a girl that keeps her legs shut and her top on ... but we got a bunch of brave girls up on stage to vote with their bodies, and I feel certain we expanded her horizons pretty dramatically!”
That actually gets a big cheer, from both genders in equal measure.
“Really, thanks to all you brave souls, we could even say she had quite a... lively time.”
There’s a lusty chuckle from the audience as they remember the girl-on-girl show fondly. Livia’s pun has to be improvised, too, being based on what I pulled with Gloria and Lucy.
“And, you know, brave is the right word, because getting naked does take a lot of courage. So, I respect the girls who got their kit off. That makes them, by basic etymology, respectable. Because they are able to be respected. See how easy that is?”
There might be one or two nerds in the crowd who know what the word ‘etymology’ means, but everybody else just kind of goes with it. Still, Livia’s spiel gets on our tapes and PPVs, and I’m sure more home viewers actually get her meaning.
“So, I wanna get a big cheer from the guys in the crowd. Show the brave girls that you respect them!”
Livia actually gets a huge, frat-like “Hell yeah!” back from the males. I’m not sure how much is them playing along in the hopes of more titty — or just hoping doing so will get them laid — but I think there’s also some real sincerity among the voices as well. And ... the rafters vibrate. Impressive shout.
We had talked about bringing up Cathy Delapointe by name (and by picture ... yes, those pictures) here, but decided against it until she actually graduates and delivers her valedictory address — and has more freedom to choose her peer group. Then she’ll become our model of the ideal, perfectly respectable, class valedictorian.
“And then,” Livia continues, “we had those ... those stuck-up women from NCSS on, the elite models who think refusing to strip off makes them more desirable than the kind of girls here today. Well, we definitely showed them how much we respect them, didn’t we?”
That gets a big, vindictive cheer from the crowd — and it’s led by the girls, though the guys definitely join in when they figure out it’s ‘safe’. I remind myself that we’re trashing the NCSS corporate image, here, more than the actual models outside their personas.
“And now, it all comes down to this. We have a very special girl here tonight. You might recognize Jeri from the wet t-shirt contest right here at Summers on Sunday. She had a case of the nerves, though, and ran off stage. It’s not her fault, though — she was raised to be the wrong kind of respectable. And, honestly, ladies, we can all relate, right?”
Now, Livia goes from suggestive, playful patter to really, dissonantly solemn with this bit, with no wink-wink, nudge-nudge naughtiness at all. You don’t usually see Livia being truly sincere and serious — but for this one moment, I think you might be. Rehearsed, of course — but also sincere. She stares at the crowd, scanning through it almost inquisitorially. And I can see resonance in many of the girls’ faces — and a surprising number of the boys’, too.
“We’ve all got that voice in our heads, telling us that we ought to be ashamed, that we shouldn’t be doing this, that we’re unclean, that we’re going to make a scandal and become a disgrace. It tells us to hate ourselves, to submit, to remake ourselves into what a wholesome society expects us to be.
“It’s like we all have one of those NCSS models implanted in our heads, whispering quietly at us 24/7. And, for girls like Jeri, that voice is in control. That, my dear friends, that is a tragedy. A source of unending sorrow. This voice is an intruder. It’s like demonic possession. It’s not who we really are, but its words come out of our own mouths. It is an atrocity. It is a disease.”
Livia’s demeanor performs an almost nauseating quick-change, going from solemn, philosophical and oddly relatable to hyperactive, sunshine-spewing used-car salesman with a thousand-watt shit-eating grin. I think she just bitch-slapped our audience with tonal whiplash. “Well, folks, I am Lascivious Livia, the one and only respectable magician to earn that adjective, and I am here tonight to demonstrate our miracle cure for this disease! My friends, get ready to see some real magic! And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I mean that in the no-shit literal miracle-working sense! This is no illusion! This! Is! Real! You will believe that Jeri can overcome her inner Jerry Falwell and have a great time, and you will believe you can overcome yours as well!”
The crowd slowly starts clapping. Our ringers need to start it. Even they seem a bit confused, but the enthusiasm and cheer grows and spreads. The degree to which Livia is controlling the mood with raw charisma is somewhat breathtaking. This bit can come off as hokey and weird when you watch the videos, and is one of the primary bits responsible for the “Livia’s on cocaine” rumors. No, she’s not — O Suspicious Readers, I’m not bullshitting you, this is the lady’s natural personality. I could not make shit like this up if I tried. And, being here in person, this night ... yeah, she really sells this shit. The crowd is perplexed, but it all works.
Once the applause dies down, Livia’s psychotic energy is semi-muted, and she’s calm and composed while still being the undeniable master of the room. “Folks, we’re going to do a real hypnotic induction here, and I’m going to put our lovely volunteer deeper than I’ve put any volunteer before. So, I’m going to need peace, calm and good behavior from the audience — but also support. Everyone here knows what’s respectable and what isn’t. We’re all going to help Jeri learn to be more... properly respectable, and we’re going to have some fun in doing so. But also ... support her. Have some fun with her, but also help lift her up when we’re finished.”
Thanks, Livia. I was wrong to have doubted you.
“Now, Jeri, get your sweet ass over here and sit down opposite me. Firstly, the oath. Hold up your right hand — yeah, like a citizenship oath — and say these words along with me: I’m a volunteer for the Sexy Scandal Spectacular. I’m game for a giggle. I may lose my dignity and my modesty, but I’m going to have a great time, and leave with a story to tell — and with my head held high.”
Jeri repeats the oath verbatim. Livia unclasps the amethyst jewel around her neck, getting it briefly tangled with the silver Clubhouse key. I doubt she’s showing that off — maybe she’s actually nervous. That would be oddly reassuring to me — her attitude is warmer than half an hour back, when she said Jeri was a ‘toy’. It’s not untrue, I mean — I’m about to get into describing us playing with her in great detail — but there’s empathy there, as well.
We put the headphones on Jeri. The induction is long. It’s not sexy — well, it’s Livia in a tight tux whispering things in an unnaturally intense voice, so of course it’s sexy, but Livia isn’t saying anything naughty or suggestive. It’s the most tonally serious, dominant hypnosis I’ve seen her do. It goes on for half an hour. O Impressionable Reader, do you recall what she did to me back in the Taurus Escalation? That was done in a few minutes. She gets Jeri warmed up for half an hour.
There’s an extended relaxation metaphor here, where Jeri is a perfectly-formed moonstone dropped in a saltbed, and a hard, calcified coating of soapstone forms over her body, and Livia’s voice is the river water washing away that obsequious brittle detritus, restoring her natural radiance — just focus on the voice. Relax. Relax. Feel your mind unwind. You know the deal — and it goes on for half an hour. There’s a lot of numeric recursion as well — Jeri is assured she’s now ten times deeper than she was before at least five or six times, and nods like she really believes this. Mimi gets back near the end, signals me from offstage and sets a large brown bag in an alcove at the back of the stage.
During the induction, Livia sometimes mutes her mike to the audience. I go up on stage and do some patter. We play Marilyn Martin’s Sorcerer to distract the crowd and establish mood — an appropriate and moody piece, given what Livia’s doing. Finally we get done the induction; Jeri’s in trance — really, really deeply so — and it’s time for the hypnotic programming bit.
“When I hand you this microphone,” Livia commands, “I want you to be completely honest with both yourself and the audience, and tell us your real name — your first name only, please, but the real one that identifies who you truly are.”
Livia hands the microphone over. “Cherry.”
Well, you heard the lady — so that’s who she is (outside dialogue, at least) in my memoir from this point on as well as on stage.
“That’s right,” Livia says. “Your name is Cherry. Cherry is a real person, a human being with free will granted by God and a vision of her own life. But that name has caused you certain practical problems, and that necessitated a change. So, in pursuit of a vision of respectability, you changed your name to adapt to society. What is the name that people normally call you, Cherry?”
“Jeri,” she answers.
“Right,” Livia says. “Cherry, you tried to enter a wet t-shirt contest recently. You, the real person, chose to. But ... Jeri told you that you weren’t allowed to do that, didn’t she? Jeri told you to be ashamed.”
“Yes,” Cherry replies robotically. “She said it would make my d—”
Livia cuts her off. “We don’t need to know why. In fact, don’t tell us anything about your personal life when in trance, unless it’s necessary to answer a direct question I ask you.”
Cherry nods mechanically.
“Sleep,” Livia commands, and Cherry’s head drops and her body slumps.
Livia takes the microphone and goes up to the front of the stage, addressing the audience. Her tone is now light and playful. “Folks, I know that our first attempt to cut some girls in half today got a bit, er ... messy. Well, I’m asking all of you for a big leap of faith, because we’re gonna try it again. It’s going to be a bit more metaphorical this time, and hopefully a bit less messy ... but I can’t actually guarantee that. This bit’s almost like an exorcism, and, well, you’ve all seen the movie, right? Screwing with people’s psyches can get messy, after all ... but we’re hoping to set the mood firmly for ‘sexy’ rather than ‘scary’. Oh, and we’re also hoping the magic trick will, you know, actually work this time. So let’s all take a deep breath and cross our fingers, okay?”
The crowd is unsure what to think. We want to imprint this show specifically on people’s minds rather than just being fluffy erotic entertainment, and I think the tonal whiplash is probably doing that. I wouldn’t know — Livia’s the one with a psych degree, after all. It’s a ballsy move, though, joking about the trick we comedically failed at the start of a really difficult thing we desperately want to succeed at.
I can see the point, though — the triple box routine scared the hell out of the audience, then suddenly turned both comical and sexy once we delivered the punchline. Livia’s using that to deliver a subtle suggestion to the audience here. Sure, ladies, we might be hinting at some subject matter you find primal and scary, here ... but don’t worry; by the end of the evening it will all be light-hearted giggles and fun sexy times again.
Livia walks back over to me.
“Let me show you something,” she says to Cherry. “Watch very carefully and focus on what I’m saying.”
She reaches into a bag and sets a sequence of objects on the white table. It’s one of those Matryoshka dolls, with the layers all separate. Livia took it to a fairly skilled painter with a detailed commission, though, back when we were planning out this routine in Virginia Beach. We have a live camera pointed at the dolls, and our overhead projector pushing out the image on the back wall so the crowd can see what Livia does with the intricate props in detail.
The tiniest doll is a naked hula dancer, grinning from ear to ear with childlike glee as she lifts her top and the grass skirt slides town to her ankles. Then a sexy dancing bikini lady. Then a deniably flirty girl in the stereotypical little black dress. Then a beautiful but vaguely sad prom queen in a chaste prom dress. Then a business lady in overly prim shirt and pants-suit. Then an older woman, looking browbeaten and downcast, in a niqab. The final doll is a green-faced hag swathed in black rags and a stereotypical witch’s pointed hat and equally pointed nose. Her skin looked parched, dry and cracked — and her eyes are harrowing to look upon: lifeless, banal and robotic. It’s the Wicked Witch of the West, from L Frank Baum’s Oz novels — but the face is right out of Stepford rather than cackling with glee.
“This is you, Cherry,” Livia says, picking up the tiniest, naked, laughing doll. “Now, let’s add some strict childhood lessons about decency and your bikini areas.”
She picks up the two halves on the table from the bikini dancer and puts them around the smallest doll. “Now, let’s add some cruel jibes from jealous girls in junior high.”
The little black dress layer gets added. “And some very stern lectures about how decent women ought to behave.”
We’re at the prom queen. “And that revelation you have at some point in high school that — contrary to the message of the week on every sitcom ever — conforming to societal expectations really does help you get ahead.”
The business lady devours the prom queen as Livia continues, “people call you ‘Sweet Cherry Pie’ and ‘the girl with the sticky panties’, and it hurts.”
Now the business lady goes inside the niqab woman. “Maybe there was a friend that supported you, but once you graduate you can’t see her any more, and it’s hard without her, and people warn you that you’d better shape up.”
And finally the wicked witch over it all. “Something tragic happens. Someone who was sanctimonious and judgmental gets lionized, and suddenly everyone you know is demanding you conform to his ideals, live up to the standard he set. It’s oppressive, and under all these layers you feel like you can’t breathe, you can’t get out, you might not even really be you any more.”
This is actually intense. I look out at the crowd, seeing how people are reacting. This is uncomfortably resonant to many of the girls here. I’m not reading Auras, but obviously no one’s super turned-on at the moment. But they are fascinated. There are a few guys bored and whispering to friends, but most people are tense, empathetic and uncertain. Even most of the men seem interested and disconcerted. Men suffer from social constraints as well, even if it’s in different ways than women.
Livia turns the completely assembled doll to face Cherry directly. “Listen to me, Cherry. You’re trapped in a lifeless shell. Layer upon layer of indoctrinating experiences, to make you into someone else’s idea of what’s presentable. You are suffocating. This thing, this finished doll, she isn’t a person. She’s a construct, a spewer of rote platitudes, a finite state machine. She just figures out what society wants her to say or do, and parrots it back. And she’s the voice in your head, and she’s been mean to you. And sometimes she takes charge of you, and you feel that you can’t do anything about it.
“We’re going to call this voice Jeri. She’s not you, and you aren’t her. I’ve cut you in half, Cherry. I’m the alchemist, separating the gold from the dross. You need to realize that you are Cherry and she is Jeri, two different people in one body — and only one of these people has a soul, a true identity, free will or a right to even exist. Remember this: Cherry is the one with dreams, vision and a sense of self. Jeri is the one with the obligations, anxieties and the weight of others’ expectations on her shoulders. Do you understand me?”
Cherry is very still. Finally she nods. “Yes. I understand.”
Livia continues. “Good. Now I need to tell you — I can’t just make Jeri go away. It’s not possible to just delete impulses or aspects of a psyche with hypnotism like that. And I wouldn’t want to do that to you anyway. You can’t run around naked and ignore societal conventions everywhere. Flaunting societal conventions and doing very naughty things in pursuit of your own pleasure is both immensely fun and morally justified, but you have to flaunt conventions tactically, or society will fucking crush you. So, as unpleasant as it may be, you need to be Jeri — most of the time. Or at least some of the time, if you arrange your life better. You need to be Jeri when it’s smart to be Jeri, when not being her will get you arrested, beaten up or fired. Right?”
“Yes.”
“But you have every right to join in a wet t-shirt contest. Jeri was way out of line stopping you, and I suspect she said some fairly nasty things in doing so, didn’t she?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, we’re not going to let that stand. We need to reconfigure the social dynamic between you and her. Put bluntly, we need to show this bitch who’s boss. You are a real person. You own your body and your life, you make the choices. She forgot that, so you and I ... we’re going to knock her down a peg or two, teach her a lesson. Tell me, Cherry, have you ever watched a teen sex comedy?”
This puzzles Jeri. It’s a misstep, I think, for Livia to assume she will just ‘get’ this. Different cultural spheres and all. But Jeri finally nods. “I ... think so?”
“Well, this is how it normally goes in those movies — and how it’s going to go tonight. There’s a stuck-up, sanctimonious girl who bullies and denigrates others. They pay her back with a humiliating but sexy prank. So, that’s what we’re going to do here tonight — just in a really extended, fetishistic fashion. Are you up for that, Cherry?”
People in trance don’t usually show any facial expression, but I could swear there was the faint shadow of a truly wicked smile at the corner of Cherry’s mouth. “Yes.”
“Great. Here are the rules. First of all, Cherry, you’re in charge. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, even if you feel that me or Marcelo — or the audience — want you to. But you’re in charge from the back seat. We’re going to be putting Jeri in the driver’s seat, in conscious control of your body. But you can change things. You can trip her up in ways that will arouse me, the audience and you yourself.
