strewn coffee table. ‘For work,’ explained Spence, pointing at the TV. ‘I have to watch the stuff.’
    â€˜Bet you love watching porn on that big TV,’ said Sadie. ‘Got anything to drink?’
    Sadie was drinking more and more these days. And the reason she came by cab was to avoid being nicked. It was expensive, but what the hell?
    â€˜Beer, scotch, vodka.’
    â€˜Vodka ice,’ she said.
    â€˜The fridge is busted.’
    â€˜Jesus, Spence, you sure know how to treat a girl.’
    A lot of Spence’s cockiness had been knocked out of him by then. Once again, just as Sadie wanted it. She was always the boss in these assignations. She started them, and when she was bored, she finished them. But she didn’t want to totally kill his confidence. She wanted a man, not a mouse. So she smiled. ‘Don’t worry about it. Warm vodka will do fine.’
    He went out to the kitchen and she heard water running and he returned with a bottle of Stoli and two clean glasses. Whilst he was gone she’d shifted papers and clothes off the sofa and sat down. He put the bottle and glasses on the coffee table in front of the TV and emptied an ashtray into an already full waste bin. ‘Sorry about this.’ he said. ‘I wasn’t expecting visitors here either.’
    â€˜No problem,’ replied Sadie. ‘I don’t see the hand of a woman here.’
    â€˜No,’ he said. ‘No girlfriend at the moment. Just, you know, the occasional…’
    â€˜One-night stand,’ Sadie finished for him. ‘Or one-day stand.’
    He smiled. ‘Something like that.’
    He poured two drinks and she sipped at the oily tasting liquid, feeling it burn the back of her throat. ‘Right Spence,’ she said. ‘Where’s the bedroom?’

    The bedroom wasn’t much better. It contained just a mattress on a box spring, with a duvet tossed untidily on it, and a chair covered in clothes. ‘Not the Ritz is it?’ said Sadie.
    â€˜I usually don’t ask people back,’ said Spence.
    â€˜I’m not surprised. But it’ll do, I suppose.’ She walked over to the window and looked down at the scruffy grass in front of the flats, and the old bangers abandoned at the side of the road. This could’ve been me, she thought. And worse, it still could be if Eddie goes down. This was not a good thought, so she dismissed it as she pulled the ill-fitting curtains together and turned round in the dim light that remained. ‘So what’s it to be Spence?’ she asked. ‘How do you like it?’
    Spence liked it rough, which was fine by Sadie. He also had a good stock of ribbed Durex, which also fitted her bill.
    But first she undressed slowly, taking her time, and enjoying the effect she was having on him. Her blouse came off to expose the La Perla lacy black bra beneath, then her pencil skirt dropped to the floor exposing the matching panties. She could see Spence appreciated the show as his cock grew large in his trousers. ‘Like what you see?’ she asked.
    He nodded, the breath catching in his throat.
    She went towards him and reached for his crotch. ‘I thought you might be worth knowing,’ she said, feeling the hardness beneath her fingers.
    She pushed his jacket off his shoulders, undid the scarf and tossed it aside, and began to unbutton his shirt to expose his hard chest and six-pack. ‘Work out, do you?’ she asked.
    â€˜When I can.’
    â€˜Work out on me then,’ she whispered as she kissed him on the mouth, her tongue forcing his lips open.
    He picked her up easily and put her onto the bed as they carried on kissing and he pushed her bra up around her neck to expose her creamy breasts.
    â€˜Oh, yes,’ he breathed.
    â€˜You like?’
    â€˜I love.’
    â€˜There’s a good boy.’
    As he kissed and sucked her nipples, Sadie unbuttoned his flies and tugged his
