Part 1, Chapter 8 Summary

Olivia and James return to the apartment and have sex. He throws her over his shoulder, and she feels like his prey. She admires his statuesque body and makes fun of her own. James compliments her body and uses his hand to pleasure her. He wants her to tell him what she wants, but Olivia can’t find the words. James tells her what to say, prompting him to perform oral sex on her while she considers consenting to spanking.

Part 1, Chapter 9 Summary

Olivia isn’t sure why she, a woman who’s almost 40, lets a man spank her, but the act brings her pleasure. He then spanks her vagina while telling her that he’s eager to have vaginal sex with her. Olivia has a violent orgasm and cries. James embraces her. His words provide Olivia with such comfort that she wonders if someone is relaying lines through an earpiece.


Olivia admits to feeling new and powerful emotions. Her passion now unsettles James, who admits that he’s “fucked up.” He assures Olivia that he’s not dangerous, and Olivia tells him that she’s on familiar terms with “fucked up.” Olivia considers ending their connection, but she boldly opts to see where it goes.
