Chapter 10

Although the bittersweet memories of her encounter with David lingered, Jennifer vowed to herself to make her marriage work. In the weeks which followed, she poured all her attention and affection upon Ron in the hope of renewing the magic they had experienced when first married. She even begged off sick from one of Tremper's parities to spend a quiet, romantic evening with Ron.

At first things improved. She began to use less Jip, even on occasions when what she did was disgusting and humiliating. Ron seemed to reciprocate, especially to her romantic gestures and even though she could still not reach orgasm with him, she was encouraged that things would get better.

But after a rare weekend when Ron was away at a conference and her services were not demanded, Ron returned to a candlelight dinner and wife dressed in flimsy negligee only to beg off because of exhaustion. As the weeks progressed, despite her every effort, Ron began to beg off more frequently from sex, citing pressure and exhaustion. After a couple of months they were back to sharing a house, but little else.

Jennifer was crestfallen. She was being told to do more and more kinky and outrageous things by Tremper, yet she was using less and less Jip to try to improve her situation with Ron. Her shame and loss of dignity at what she was doing for Tremper was now matched by her desperation and feelings of helplessness as she felt her marriage slipping away.

Christmas came and went. She and Ron exchanged presents, but there was barely an exchange of conversation. They had occasional arguments, but mostly, she felt a decided indifference on Ron's part. He spent New Years on the coast at another conference while she helped entertain at one of Tremper's infamous parties.

It was a wild and drunken affair at the home of one of Tremper's business associates.

Jennifer, at first, saw no familiar faces at the party, so she was encouraged when she spotted Alecia Rowe, whom she had not seen since she had been forced by Tremper to make the decision regarding the zoo or L.A.

"Hello Alecia," said Jennifer smiling. "I haven't seen you in some time. How are you?"

The other woman turned, recognition was followed by cold hatred sweeping over her face.

"Mrs. Carpenter, I may have to attend this party. I'll probably even have to do some things which I will hate myself for later. But just because I have to be here does not mean I have to associate with you."

Jennifer, realizing the woman's animosity was the result of her decision that day in Tremper's office, tried to explain.

"Alecia, I didn't want to have to make that decision, Tremper forced me to. That trip to Los Angeles was horrible."

"As horrible as having to submit to wild animals? No, Mrs. Carpenter, whatever you had to do in Los Angeles was nothing compared to the pain and indignity I suffered that day."

"But..."

There was venom in the other woman's voice.

"You made your choice and I had to suffer as a result. Don't think I will ever forget what you caused me to go through!"

With that, the redhead turned on her heel and walked swiftly away.

Nearing midnight, with everyone nearly falling down drunk, Jennifer was told to stand on a table, strip except for the high heels and masturbate for the amusement of all, after which she was grabbed by three men, dragged to the floor and taken in mouth, anus and nest simultaneously. As they finished and others took their place, she wished she had brought a hit of Jip to make the ordeal endurable. Two more men took her rear and nest while the wife of the host lifted her skirts and Jennifer brought her to orgasm with lips and tongue.
